Win8 as Microsoft's latest operating system, have the opportunity to try a hand, first install some of my own system, driver, use skills, software compatibility and everyone to share, I hope to learn from the majority of win8 first-time experience and help. Br>(1)Installation system
15th finally downloaded the WIN8 32-bit development preview version, and immediately found a machine to start installation. The whole installation process and WIN7 are not much different, I feel that the WIN8 package still uses WIN7. However, the startup screen has changed, and it feels very simple and generous.
Hard disk installation: Then I found another machine, unzipped the downloaded ISO file to the D disk, installed it through the hard disk, and the speed is much faster.
Follow the steps below:
First prepare to extract Windows8 to a folder under a hard disk
For example: Windows 8 folder in E disk (e:\\Windows8)
Start now Install the system, please see in detail, prepare above, restart the system, press F8 to enter - repair the computer, wait a while, the system is loaded, you can see the command window after entering, open the window is the same as DOS Window
In the window, enter the Windows8 roadpower you just unzipped
E:/windows8/sources/setup.exe (Hint: remember that '/' is not right oblique)
It is almost the same here. Then, start to install this mode to format the hard disk and select the installation partition
(If a friend wants to reinstall the hard disk under WIN8, you can also use the above method, but the interface has changed, but also press F8 Key)
Finally, when WIN8 starts to configure the configuration information, it will prompt whether to choose to log in to WINDOWS LIVE. If you can network friends, you can try to log in to this mode. This is a bit of a benefit. Simply put, it's a bit like the current browser, such as the Sogou browser's sync favorites. When you reinstall the system or change the machine, your favorites can be retrieved through synchronization. WIN8's LIVE mode login will also remember some of your operations, such as desktop wallpaper, some degree of settings. Still quite good, recommend everyone to use.
(2) Driver installation
In fact, the driver that comes with WIN8 is very new. I use the driver update found by the driver wizard. Look carefully at the version number that has not been provided by WIN8. So if the important drivers are all driven, there is no need to install them.
For some friends, the sound card, graphics card can not drive, you can try WIN8's own UPDATE, my sound card driver and touchpad driver will be updated through UPDATE.
Important note: If the machine is an A card, pay attention when updating the driver. Do not install the ATI console. Just install the driver. Because WIN8 can't install the .NET that the console needs, I installed it for the first time, and the result is an error every time I turn it on.
(3) Some tips for using WIN8
1, Shutdown and restart, friends can use: WIN button + i button, then the shutdown icon appears on the right side of the screen.
2, the new Metro interface is gorgeous, but many friends can not find the settings. Right click in the program, the relevant settings will pop up below.
3, many friends said that the weather forecast in Metro will report an error, I found that if you have been plugged into the network during the process of installing WIN8, you will not report an error. Or just adjust the Celsius, put the mouse in the lower left corner of the screen, and select the settings in the pop-up menu. Also, if you want to add a city, you must enter it in full spell. There is also a right click, select the rightmost button, you can also choose to display by date or by hour, very useful features!
