Upgrading to 8.1?

[chewtah]

Maybe Iv been locked in to fixing Windows 7, but will an upgrade to 8.1 fix the no SP1 problem? Is it simply a matter of clicking the download button and waiting? Im sick of trying to fix 7.

Hi,
What fixing of win-7 ?
Do you have a clean install disk ?
If your install media doesn't have sp1 on it you can download one that does from here
Just make sure you get the home premium x86 that is what you show on your system spec's :/

What tricks me is there are so many, whats is string please. I clicked on and got a torrent adobe was not able to open. now what?

Only get Adobe for the Adobe official site. Torrents are not needed.
What Adobe product are you having problems with?

I don't care what Windows operating system you use but when you start using torrents for downloads their is a good chance you will mess any of them up.

also i would like to add, before you download and try to install windows 8.1 , google your laptop model and see if drivers are available for your laptop, your specs has no info on model of your laptop..

You don`t use Adobe to open an ISO file.

Why can`t you simply download SP1 through Windows update ?

You should have installed SP1 a long time ago.

If you don`t want to fix Windows 7 or can`t, then just reinstall it, don`t install Windows 8.1 you will hate it, not to mention you`ll have to buy it.

Just download the version you need from here and burn to dvd at no more then x4 speed using this free program.

x86 means 32 bit x64 means 64 bit

I'm not quite sure how we got from Windows 7 SP-1 to Windows 8.1 to Adobe torrent.

My simple answer is as AddRAM suggested. Do a clean install of Windows 7 with SP-1.

Well to me, it sounded like he tried to open an iso file with adobe in reply #3

 

[ThrashZone]

Well the link I posted is a weird one it seems to need a torrent downloader or something it shows as a torrent file

Iv been trying to download it for ages, all sorts of errors and why not, I tried to open the torrent, and clicked 'open with' >Adobe too soon, now it wants to open it with Adobe all the time. This laptop had never been backed up either, won't do that onto dvd's but that's another thread.

You don't open torrents with Adobe, not sure why you are trying that.

Torrents are just file sharing, but you need a torrent client program to actually use the small torrent you downloaded.

That will enable you to start getting the pieces of the actual file you want downloaded to your computer.

This is the one mentioned in AddRAM's link,

qBittorrent download | SourceForge.net

They will even tell you how to set it up if you click on the link in his link.

 

[AddRAM]

Use this, then choose which ISO file you want from the link I provided earlier, it should not take very long depending on your download speed.

?Torrent® (uTorrent) - a (very) tiny BitTorrent client

Then use this to burn the iso file to dvd at no faster then x4 speed, you must have a dvd burner to do it.

Then use the 25 digit key on your COA to activate windows, you have 30 days, so you don`t have to do it right away, but you can use the key on your COA to activate windows on that PC/motherboard as many times as you want.

Okay, let me try a few of these and Ill get back to you.

Thanks! (and Ill forget about 8.1)
