kiddingguy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I just downloaded Windows 8.1 from TechNet, but I cannot upgrade my notebook to it keeping all settings and documents. Specs of notebook in my sig. Everything is going OK, until the last boot.... than a blue screen appears "your PC ran into into trouble :(" and than it resets/reverts to my initial Windows 8 installation. And no Windows 8.1 is installed. What can be the case here? EDIT: Can it be with related with installed software like Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 and/or Logitech Setpoint drivers for my mouse or other (known) software?

xendrome Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Run a chkdsk /f in a admin command prompt and tell it yes to run on next reboot, then reboot. Also update your video drivers prior to upgrading.. start there and try again/report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xendrome Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Could have been Kaspersky the whole time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddingguy Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Could have been Kaspersky the whole time.. Guess so too. Hopefully they'll make it compatible soon, because I - and others - will not be unprotected for a whole month...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 9, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted September 9, 2013 Guess so too. Hopefully they'll make it compatible soon, because I - and others - will not be unprotected for a whole month...... what's wrong with enabling Windows Defender (aka MSE) for the rime being? better than being completely unprotected, even if you don't like the suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Angel Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Avast works I believe, there's also defender built in... It's crap but it's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
