Enter 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 it's free, just go to the Win8 app store and you're ready to upgrade.

There are many new ways to install Win8.1, including CD-ROM installation, installation from hard disk, and installation using a USB flash drive. 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.

CD 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, then save, then restart the computer You can enter the Win8.1 installation interface.

Second, install Win8.1 from the hard disk

If you are currently using XP or Win7 system, if you want to change to Win8.1, then you can use the hard disk installation method.

Here we need to install it using a software called Nt6 hdd installer. This method is suitable for almost all systems from XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc.

The specific method steps are as follows:

1. First download the Nt6 hdd installer software on the computer (interested friends, Baidu search download), and then install it in the computer;

2. Unzip the downloaded Windows 8.1 CD image to the root directory of the non-system disk (does not affect the original system file).

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 the 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 cause Win8.1 installation to fail. This will cause the original system files to be destroyed and the system to be unable to enter. 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 method of hard disk installation:

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 the Win8.1 CD image

2. Unzip 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 The path to decompress, the default decompression folder may be longer, the handout changes it to a shorter one, such as “win8-file” file directory, for example, after we extract, placed in the E disk /win8-file directory, this Need to remember, 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 and repair interface, select the last item <;Command prompt”.

5. Enter E:win8-filesourcessetup.exe in the command box to install it. 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 be installed to Win 8.1, you can format the original system disk for new installation, or choose another disk Installation, when installed, 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, after the installation is 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.
