Solve : Windows 8 installation?

Answer» <html><body><p>I have a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/compaq-423425" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPAQ">COMPAQ</a> 615 laptop, currently running Win 7. Wanting to upgrade to Win 8 <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/pro-606431" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRO">PRO</a>, I successfully downloaded Win 8 which took about 5 hours. The installation seemed to go fine, but then I got the message "installation was unsuccessful, restoring your previous version". (Which it did). No explanation about the failed install. How do I get past this? Must I start the download all over again, or can I just redo the install process? I have already paid for the download and don't feel like paying again! Did you run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant first? Run that first; it will give a list of software that needs to be uninstalled before upgrading, software you will have to reinstall, and any other things that are known to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cause-910965" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CAUSE">CAUSE</a> problems. Look at the manufacturer's website (in this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/case-240222" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CASE">CASE</a> HP) for your model and see if there are upgrade instructions from the manufacturer as well.<br/><br/>You should be able to reuse the download and redo the install process, but like I said first <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/check-25817" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHECK">CHECK</a> the manufacturer site and the Upgrade Assistant.Also if the DLoad took 5 hours you may want to grab a fresh one from someone with a high speed connection...common errors in the install with funky DLoads would be a CRC error for example.<br/>The key you purchased will work on any new DLoad.Yes, I used the Upgrade Assistant. I have now been able to install. I think the problem is that during the download, the Assistant gave a message "Feel free to use your PC". So I assumed I could also do this during the installation - oops, wrong. So I closed every app in sight before doing the installation, and it worked.<br/><br/>Though I'm not overly excited by the new OS!<br/>Thanks again.Good to hear you got it running...</p></body></html>
