The following enters the Win8.1 system installation tutorial that we are going to introduce to you today.
The first thing to note is that for users who have already installed Win8 system, upgrading Win8.1 is very simple and free. Just enter the Win8 app store and you'll be able to find an upgrade.
There are many new ways to install Win8.1, including CD-ROM installation, installation from hard disk and installation using U disk. We will introduce each of them below.
First, CD installation Win8.1
If you purchased the Win8.1 installation CD or burned the Win8 installation CD, you can use the CD to install Win8.1.
Disc installation of Win8.1 is very simple, just put the CD into the computer CD-ROM drive, then start the computer, then enter the Bios settings, set the first boot item to drive from the CD-ROM drive, save it, then restart the computer to enter Win8 .1 installation interface.
Second, install Win8.1 from the hard disk
If you are currently using XP or Win7 system, want to change to Win8.1, then you can use the hard disk installation method.
Here we need to use a software called Nt6 hdd installer to install this method for almost all systems from XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc.
The specific method steps are as follows:
1, first download Nt6 hdd installer software in the computer (interested friends, Baidu search download), and then install it in the computer;
2, will download Windows 8.1 The CD image is extracted to the root directory of the non-system disk (does not affect the original file of the system).
3, double-click the software Nt6 hdd installer to enter the operation.
If you have already completed the decompression of the above system files, just click on the installation and follow the operation to select the installation mode.
Then restart the computer, we then select Mode 1 or 2 to start.
Next you can see the familiar installation interface of Win8.1, completely foolish, as long as the installation prompt is completed. What is needed here is that if you want to install Win8.1 to the system C drive, the reason system will be replaced. It is recommended that you format the C drive and install it.
Note: Using Nt6 hdd installer software, installing Win8.1 from hard disk may take a long time, and some users think it is a crash, which causes the installation to be interrupted in the middle. This situation will lead to Win8.1 installation failure, which will also lead to the original The system files are also corrupted and there is no access to the system. So here to remind everyone, due to the hardware environment, the driver is different, after entering the NT6 boot interface, it is normal to have no response for a long time, please be patient. Usually entering the installation interface is also faster, generally no more than half an hour.
Another hard disk installation method:
If your system is Win7, or VISTA, you don't need any tools, you can easily install Windows 8.1 from the hard disk as follows:
1, download Win8.1 CD image
2, extract the downloaded Win8.1 CD image file to a disk other than the system disk, no need to be the root directory of the disk, but remember to unzip the path, the default decompression folder may be compared Long, the handout changed it to a shorter one, such as “win8-file” file directory, for example, after we unzipped, placed in the E disk /win8-file directory, this needs to be remembered, useful later.
3, restart the computer, when the boot has not entered the system, press the F8 key on the keyboard, and then select “ repair computer & rdquo;.
4, in the pop-up selection repair interface select the last item <; command prompt & rdquo;.
5, enter E:win8-filesourcessetup.exe in the command box to install. Here E:win8-file is the directory where the Win8.1 CD image file you extracted is located in front of you. Please modify it according to your specific situation.
6, then you will enter the familiar installation interface, choose a new installation, select the disk to install Win 8.1, you can format the original system disk, in order to facilitate a new installation, or choose another disk installation, so Once installed, it becomes a dual system where Windows 7 and Windows 8 coexist. Since Windows 7 and Windows 8 are very similar, I would recommend installing a dual system with XP and Windows 8 coexisting.
7, installed after the default is to win8 boot, if you want to keep the default Windows 7 boot can be changed in the win8 system through the msconfig settings, this can achieve future Win7, Win8 system double switch.
Win7 system users use this method to install very simple, on the one hand, it is convenient to install dual systems, and if you don't want Win7 system, you can also install it directly on the C drive.
Third, use the U disk to install Win8.1
U disk installation system, now very mature and popular, computer Pepsi network has also introduced a lot of related tutorials for everyone, the author will not repeat in detail, for Everyone briefly summarizes the basic steps and links to related articles that were previously introduced. You can take a look and understand.
1, first prepare a 4G or more U disk (Win8.1 image file is relatively large, the capacity is too small U disk can not be installed, you know, generally 8G can be)
2, download a U in the computer Start the production tool, you can use the old peach, Chinese cabbage, U master and other software, then insert the U disk into the computer, then run a U disk boot disk creation software you downloaded, follow the prompts to make the U disk into a boot disk. ;;
3, U disk is made into a boot disk, we will download the Win8.1 image file in the U disk;
4, restart the computer, then press the Del button to enter the BIOS settings, set the computer's A startup item is a USB flash drive, and then it will be restarted.
