Installed and activated with my 8.0 key and it works like a charm.  Simple things do allot to make Win 8.1 much better, like using the same background for the Start Screen and the Desktop, make it less of a 2 headed OS.

Working great on my PC and Lappy, anyone discovered any good temperature monitoring software that will work with Win8.1 yet? I tried openhardwaremonitor, froze my PC and not tried any others yet. Tune Up Utilities 2013 won't work properly either yet.

CoreTemp works fine.

That's fine, I just have to grab my tablets OEM key so I can activate after or did it not ask you for a key at all?

 

I was asked for a key, and I used the one that is floating about to do the install. You need to change the key afterwards to activate.

If your still unable to install it manually as per the instructions I posted earlier, your other option is to download .NET framework offline installer. You can get it from here http://www.askvg.com/download-microsoft-net-framework-3-5-offline-installer-for-windows-8/

It didn't work either, for some reason when I show the path to my dvd where I have copy of the RTM , my dvd just continues read nonstop, even if I close the program its still reading, I just see LED indicator going, but nothing is happening, like its not reading the dvd.  :angry:  I'm getting very frustrated..theres some program that I want to install and I can't without the .NET framework. I hope this has nothing to do with me upgrading this over a leak I installed 9471, I'm starting to feel like I should just start fresh and do a clean install instead.

I'd recommend you take the 8.1 ISO file, double click it to mount it, run an elevated command prompt and enter command pointing to mounted ISO drive as it took several minutes for me to complete, will take much longer on an external HDD or DVD drive. "SecureBoot isn't configured correctly" is just as it says, you have to configure Secure boot in your UEFI BIOS. If it's disabled, enable it. If you can't find that option, check for a BIOS update.

 

Here are my BIOS settings, it still says that it's not configured correctly

This seems to be a big bug in Win8.

 

But you can install it via the command line.

 

 

 

If you cannot connect to the Internet, you can enable the .NET Framework 3.5 by using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) command-line tool and specifying the installation media (ISO image or DVD) you installed Windows 8 from.

  1. In Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, open a Command Prompt window with administrative credentials (that is, choose Run as administrator).

  2. To install the .NET Framework 3.5 from installation media located in the D:\sources\sxs directory, use the following command:

    DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs

    where:

    • /Online targets the operating system you're running (instead of an offline Windows image).

    • /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 specifies that you want to enable the .NET Framework 3.5.

    • /All enables all parent features of the .NET Framework 3.5.

    • /LimitAccess prevents DISM from contacting Windows Update.

    • /Source specifies the location of the files needed to restore the feature (in this example, the D:\sources\sxs directory).

 

?

Now it should work

I've only ever had this problem with 8.1 never before, weird!

This seems to me to be a really huge bug, or am I wrong? Maybe this is one of the thing that they are still working on before GA?

No, that's the thing, nothing happened at all I think if I left it, it would still be going now. I'm going to try again right now, and let it run for 1/2 hour and see what happens

Not sure if it is already answered, but FYI your existing W8.0 keys can be used for activation. Just install W8.1 without the key (i.e. don't enter the key during the install setup) and then activate manually after you get to the desktop.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
