Problems that may arise: if downloading from a DVD or flash drive has not started and a previous operating system is installed, then you need to check whether the settings are set correctly in the BIOS.

If everything is correct, you need to check the validity of the disk or flash drive on another computer.

If you are running a computer on another computer, you may have a damaged disk drive or flash drive reader.

And it’s entirely possible that the settings in the BIOS were not saved after all.

If you don’t have access to the video on your other computer, look for a problem with the DVD or flash drive.

It is important to note that the developers of the Windows 8.1 operating system felt the need of their customers, and turned on the “Start” button, which is familiar to everyone.

The “Start” button has been updated with new features, it looks like it has been expanded on the task panel, as well as replacing the main menu in the “Metro” interface.

In this case, the developers significantly improved and optimized the new tiled interface.

Turn to the work table.

Many users of Windows 8 OS have complained that after restarting the PC, the system automatically enters the “Metro” interface.

In version 8.1 this requirement was completely satisfied.

Cob screen boxes.

Many Windows 8 users have drawn analogies with the fact that the original screen is very similar to the Start menu of version 7. The developers have corrected this bug, blocking the re-installation of add-ons from being displayed on the original screen. Also available in Windows 8.1 Pro is an alternative screen interface.

Now the user of your computer can choose between “Metro” tiles and primary lists.

Turning around the confused search. Search is one of the most requested functions by most users. At the same time, there are many people who have criticized 8 based on the type of files

sound system

In Windows 8.1 there is a lot of confusion around the appearance of additional functions.

Gliboka setting.

For many homeowners, the updated Windows 8.1 Pro has become an unsatisfactory experience of the lack of correct operation of their favorite programs.

This is due to the fact that the driver model of the operating system has been radically changed.

A major problem with the absurdity of version 8.1 Pro has hit gambling fans.

In some cases, the problem has made people with anti-virus software nervous, but they are afraid that the updated program may stop responding.

Interruptions in updates.

After the official release about the appearance of the updated version of Windows 8.1 Pro, millions of customers rushed to quickly grab the new product.

By the way, few people managed to achieve the desired result the first time.

First of all, the update has become as much as 4 GB on the disk.
In another way, the main reason for downloading was the presence of the broad-based Internet.
Well, thirdly, updates can only be downloaded onto one computer, so if there are updates, you cannot download them for installation on another PC.
Regardless of the mass of users, the decision to install Windows 8.1 Pro will forever be lost to the user.

Creation of installation nose

In order to reinstall Windows 8.1 Pro, there is one method, or two different ways.

The Windows operating system can be carried either as a disk or as a flash card.
Of course, this is a licensed version of the OS, but in this case we will look at the self-installation and creation of a Windows image.
First, let's take a look at the method of burning the Windows 8.1 Pro operating system directly onto a CD.
We will need:
Availability of an image of Windows 8.1 Pro OS (you can download it on any torrent tracker).

A new end will open on the top of the work area where you will be required to confirm before selecting the recording options.

Please note, the “Drive” tab contains the name of the write drive with a blank disk installed there.

It is important to remember that the less fast the disc is written, the more likely it is that the information will be written to the CD intact and confidential.

After confirming all parameters, click on the “Record” button.

As a rule, burning involves stretching several pieces of wire, after which the device is ready for installing Windows 8.1 Pro. Burning the OS image to a flash card. Nowadays, CDs come out of the box, and as a result, most new computers and laptops come without disc drives.

Let's take a look at the method of creating a valuable flash card.

In this method, we will look at recording the operating system on a flash card, using the previously known
UltraISO program

This method is the simplest and most practical, since writing a flash card through third-party programs or the command line for getting started with important tasks.

To record an image of Windows 8.1 Pro we need:
Clean flash card with a capacity of 8 GB (USB 2.0).
The UltraISO program was previously installed.
It is important to remember that files located on the flash card will be downloaded after formatting.
For correct recording, it is recommended to set the file system type to “NTFS” in advance.
In order to burn an image of Windows 8.1 Pro, you need to follow these instructions:

We download the image of the operating system.

Open the “UltraISO” program.

In the context menu, select the command “File” - “Open”.

When you first turn on the computer, press the F2 / F10 / F12 / Delete key to enter the BIOS and change the device settings.

In the BIOS system, you must set the DVD disk/flash card storage first.

It is important that after changing the settings, save the new settings.

When you turn on the computer, having read “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD”, click “Pass”.

After loading the system files, select the interface and click the “Next” button.

In the window, enter the key for the product or skip this whole text.

Click the “Install” button and go to select the installation method. After reading the license information, check the box next to “I accept the terms of the license agreement” and click “Next”.
Once again, select “Choose installation type”, since you will need to format the system drive to install Windows 8.1 Pro.
“Thank you, I have everything!”

“No, no, everything is fine”

“You are done with your updates!”

It was with these thoughts that Microsoft managers were grumbling about in their practice, wondering why people don’t want to change to a new, more beautiful and smooth Windows 8.

As they say, today “Simka” is installed on about 60% of Windows OS computers.

And yet, these are enthusiastic people. People who didn’t call themselves favor the “primary” versions. People for whom the experiment is important for the result. Subjectively, I’m new to everything, but it doesn’t sound right at first, and it seems like it’s not very easy.

If you installed Windows 8 simply, because you have a license key for this version itself, the update will be good.

After all, Windows 10 has already been thoroughly improved.
