| 1308778 | 2012-10-30 05:07:00 | My conclusion: MS just pushed out Windows 8 when they are not actually READY. For what reason, don't ask me! Windows 8 is the most ender user thing of anything ever 1.2 billion hours of user testing in the real world |

| 1308781 | 2012-10-30 06:00:00 | Some can, but some cant - I got a upgrade and it wont install as fresh, but others have had no problems at all. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1308783 | 2012-10-30 06:23:00 | Is it possible to do a clean install of Windows 8 instead of an upgrade? Yup the version of Win8 I brought from Dick Smith let me do a clean install. So, I wiped Win7 off the hdd and installed Win8. No prob at all. Probably better in case something isnt compatible. I came across a post the other day in MS Answers. Where a guy upgraded from Win7, but forgot to uninstall MSE. And once Win8 was installed, he couldnt uninstall it. So, he may have to start again. |

| 1308784 | 2012-10-30 06:48:00 | not sure if you have seen this . . winsupersite . com/article/windows8/clean-install-windows-8-upgrade-media-144648" target="_blank">www . winsupersite . com Yep saw that, BUT I've tried it at least 6 times now, and it simply WONT install correctly from fresh . The only way is to do it as a upgrade from within a working OS . For some reason a fresh install DOESN"T accept the product key to activate it . Not saying it cant be done, because others say they have done it . In fact just got off the phone before dinner from a person who called me and is having the same problem . They got a Upgrade for their Vista, Vista was corrupted and slow as ,they wiped their drive after saving the data, and the upgrade refused to install the same way mine is . NOTE: just came across an article that may have found the cure for the problem - I'll try the reg hack and see if it works . ( wish me luck) LOL :D |

| 1308785 | 2012-10-30 07:24:00 | I wish you the best of luck, wainu. I good piece of OS software shouldn't be expecting an end user to a reg hack, even if it works! :D |
