Ok so i have a tp-link tl wn722n wireless adapter and it doesnt want to work on windows 8. Any sugestions?
-
-
Like you install any other OS on it, that is, in a x86 tablet
-
USB Flash or DVD drive.
-
Arrrg.
What security measures has Microsoft included on this USB OS feature to help prevent piracy?
-
anyone remember how to fix amd drivers? had the problem again when I jumped to release preview
-
Probably the same way you install Windows 7 on a tablet.
Edited:
Secure Boot Protection.Arrrg.

No, that has an ARM CPU. You need an x86. Windows 8 is being developed for ARM, but it won't be released as an installable package (although some people might develop ROMs)

"The New Microsoft Surface"?
Oh dear... Have they killed off their other surface tech for these tablets? I hope not... I loved how they handled item detection on Surface.
Edited:
Okay... I now understand fully why Microsoft wanted to launch a touch-based operating system... Because this is their first foray into producing and selling an entire, through-and-through, Microsoft computer.
I UNDERSTAND NOW! And I think I like it.

You can't install WinRT (WOA) on a tablet since it's for OEMs only, but for an x86 a flash drive will suffice. Just "burn" the ISO to a flash drive with Microsoft's Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool.
-
Is Windows RT supposed to be the ARM version of Windows 8?
-
Yeah. It's like Windows Embedded.
-
I was talking about WinRT. I've seen it installed on iPads, and was curious how the user installs something with no expansion ports... Surely Apple wouldn't allow a rival OS in their own AppStore... Would they?
-
I'm curious as to where you've seen it installed on iPads as WindowsRT hasn't even been released and I highly doubt any OEM has been installing it to a jailbroken iPad for shits and giggles.
-
After a bit of googling around, I realize that they are running Windows 8 using Parallels. :/
-
Guys anybody else reallly excited for Microsoft Surface?
Like, I'm really planning on getting one so I can have a full Win8 experience.
-
you can get a full experience with other tablets and laptops too, it's just that this surface device is sleek as hell
-
I am be completely serious here, but what full Windows 8 experience? Either you get the ARM Surface, and lose backwards compatibility, and essentially you have a Microsoft iPad, or you get the x86 one, which is heavier, thicker, almost certain to have worse battery life, and to make decent use of the backwards compatibility, needs the mouse and keyboard, making it a little netbook really.
It has a touch screen sure, but I don't think any one device can be considered the full Windows 8
-
Microsoft said that the surface was the first tablet ever to have dual antennas, yet my DIY Tablet has dual antennas as well
-
Sue them and make lots of money.Microsoft said that the surface was the first tablet ever to have dual antennas, yet my DIY Tablet has dual antennas as well
The start screen has been updated in the newer build that the Surface is running. The icons for desktop programs are now bigger (I'm assuming they're 64x64).
Now if they'd just color code the tiles based on the dominant RGB value of the icon...
-
If they did that it would make the start screen much more pleasing.
-
It's much better but it's still not very pleasing, They should allow the users to set custom icons (full icons) for those so it doesn't look out of the place, I mean hell you've been able to do that since Win95 for shortcuts
-
I'd like all my tiles to be one colour and the background another colour.
Instead of some rainbow clusterfuck.
-
This, and the option to make them one color.Sue them and make lots of money.

Also anyone know if that pinball game is gonna cost money? and is there a way to get it in the release preview, since it isn't in it but was in the consumer preview.
-
Or heaven-for-fucking-bid we want to customize our own tiles with icons we make ourselves...
-
Microsoft probably won't let us do that, but maybe Stardock or someone will make a program for it.
-
Go into the start menu folder and change it from there. You don't need a $10 stardock program.
Shit icon just as an example.
-
Not just changing the icon but the whole tile. At least that's what I want.
-
i'm just going to fill my start screen with live tiles so i don't really care about the icons
-
I meant the full tile.Go into the start menu folder and change it from there. You don't need a $10 stardock program.

It worries me that my C drive is included in the list of removable devices when it's an internal SSD. Maybe AHCI is overdoing the 'plug-n-play' aspect, an entire OS
.
-
I think the term you're looking for is "hot-swappable". All SATA drives are technically hot-swappable, even if they're internal. But if you're using it as your Windows drive, that's a little weird...It worries me that my C drive is included in the list of removable devices when it's an internal SSD.

Mine's done the same thing since Windows 7. It's just how AHCI works.It worries me that my C drive is included in the list of removable devices when it's an internal SSD. Maybe AHCI is overdoing the 'plug-n-play' aspect, an entire OS.
-
Can you still do that with Windows Marketplace apps, or will those be digitally signed or something?Go into the start menu folder and change it from there. You don't need a $10 stardock program.

I think even XP does this with correct drivers and BIOS settings, but if not, 7 certainly does it. SATA drives are removable.It worries me that my C drive is included in the list of removable devices when it's an internal SSD. Maybe AHCI is overdoing the 'plug-n-play' aspect, an entire OS.
-
Oh, oh, try to eject the C drive! See what happens!
-
Well I tried to download the upgrade assistant, but that says my CPU doesn't meet requirements. Which is shit, because last time I checked, a Core2Duo was accepted, but my i7-950 won't meet requirements apparently.
I guess I'll make a flash drive of the iso.
This is weird, I missed talking about computers all the time
-
I had the same issue with my i5. You have to enable something in your BIOS.
