Updated to 8.1 on my laptop, but it brought back a graphics card issue that HP never bothered to fix. Tried to restore but the partition is corrupted, so I am trying to figure out what to do next. It's especially frustrating as I use this for work.

I also had a driver issue after the update (audio driver). I seem to lose sound after each reboot and have to reinstall the drivers. I may have fixed it...we shall see.#birdsarentrealComment

Everything seems fine with the HDD, memory, etc. I probably just need to wipe the drive and order recovery discs.
Would getting a new HDD and just doing a completely fresh windows 8 install work, or would things not work correctly since I wouldn't use the HP oem discs?2015 AAL - Ezekiel "Double Digit Sacks" Ansah.Comment

A fresh install should work but you might need to go out and update drivers specific to your hardware afterwards. The HP CDs would include the drivers and maybe some additional software that came with your system.#birdsarentrealComment

Sure they are..... Or maybe they are doing a fantastic job and people are getting needlessly upset about something they typically would only see for mere seconds.Originally posted by Coop View Post
8 Performance, Stability, overhead, flexibility, is way beyond Win 7. But it has Modern UI and supposedly that it bad, so of course the whole OS sucks.Comment

Last week I purchased an Ooma VOIP device and today my phone # port completed. So now I am officially free of the (traditional, land line) phone company. Thanks ULF for the Ooma suggestion!Comment

A 400 MB overhead instead of 1.5-2GB overhead. A better thread manager. Just to start things off.Originally posted by Coop View Post
A lot of people may not realize this but 8 resource requirements are so low that Windows RT is just a recompile of Windows 8 for ARM. Let that sink in for a second Windows 8 is so gentle on hardware that they could run it with minimal changes on an ARM CPU.
People are cutting off their nose to spite their face over learning a new interface that really has just as many pluses as it has minus's and is ridiculously easy to get used to if you are actually willing to try. On top of that Windows 8.1 doesn't make things worse to those who have issues with Modern, it makes it better.Comment

Dammit - the bulb just went out on my 60" rear projection LCD HDTV today, and the next choice for watching the Lions / Cowboys in my house is a 19" tube TV.
I'm sure there's no place I can find one in Petoskey on a Sunday morning, but I'm checking...The only thing missing from that Marvin Jones touchdown reversal is that it wasn't a first round playoff game.Comment

That's about an hour and a half trip. I'll just go hang out at Buffalo Wild Wings or something, spend a bunch of money on beer.The only thing missing from that Marvin Jones touchdown reversal is that it wasn't a first round playoff game.Comment
