For last 2 weeks i tried to make WIFI work on Windows 8 Pro RTM, but nothing....I installed,replaced drivers, tried some hacks but still nothing. :crying:
So..who managed to make it work, please post here a tutorial or make a image of your Windows 8 rtm with all drivers installed, upload it and put the link here
Thank you!

Allready done that, i can see my wirelles device but can't install the driver..that method is not confirmed in final version of windows 8..
UP ....nobody?
Well..i got it working..my mastake was that i upgraded from windows 7 and not doing a fresh install of windows 8...
Almost have it working, but whenever i reboot, i need to delete my wifi and readd it and it will work (pain, but im starting to like the windows 8 on this compared to windows 7).

I got the patches from post #64. You need to boot windows 8 into command line to copy these files. It was the only way I could get them copied anyway (forgot which file it was, but one would not copy unless I did it from the command line).
ok, just need to disable it then enable it and it works...

You can dual boot win8 and win7 its a breeze, i just did follow this simple steps posted on microsoft-news.com
just make three partition on your laptop...one for each.. or you can install Ubuntu through wubi on windows 7 and windows 8 on a separate partition.. am currently using like this...
Easiest way is to install ubuntu inside windows 7 and use VMware to instal Windows 8 on virtual machine.
I did that today. Could go without windows eight tho.
thnx everyone i run win8 in VMware..

Its actually pretty simple.Just dual boot windows 7 and 8.Im sure u knw how o do this.Then install Ubuntu alongside 7 through the boot setup!
If you had a newer CPU, I'd suggest using Client Hyper-V (from Win8) to run the other OSes virtually, but the Core 2 family lacks second-level address translation, which means Hyper-V messes up desktop performance so MS made SLAT mandatory on client (non-server) builds if you want Hyper-V.

I had my windows 7 installed , and then i installed ubuntu. Now , lets say you installed windows 7 on a LocalDrive (c):, then in this drive there will be some files.
wubildr
wubildr.cfg
wubuildr.mbr
These are the files that gets your ubuntu booted.
So just install windows 8 normmally on some other drive. (note: dont keep any operating system in same drive. Make a 100gb for windows 7 , 50gb for ubuntu(if you not compiling any big projects) and 100 gb for Windows 8 , and the rest 70 gb a 4th hard drive )
You can store songs and stuff in any drive you want.
NOTE:
When you boot up your computer,this is what happens,
1) Bios awakes all the hardware("Goodmorning mouse,keyboard harddisk, any other devices connected too (except your internet router) )
2)Bios finds a operating system and boots up its "SELECT OPERATING SYSTEM"(called bootmanager).(in my pc when i use windows 8 and shut it down, the next time i start pc i get windows 8's boot menu. but if i use windows 7 and shut it down , and next time when i turn on my pc i get windows 7's bootmenu, You wont get ubuntu boot menu on startup)
3)Go to Windows 8 , open my computer . Now you will see that the drive on which you installed Windows 8 is now C drive..
4) Find out on which drive you had your windows 7, open it, go to program files. and use which ever software you had without reinstalling it, Like lets say if i want photoshop, then i will go to windows 7 drive, open program files, then Adobe, then photoshop cs5 and here there will be photoshop.exe, i will create shortcut on desktop (use this method only when the software publisher have not published the software for windows 8, eg TeamViewer , they released their software for windows 8 , so i wont link it to desktop from my windows 7 files.. I will download a new one.. )
Thats it.. have fun buddy..
Check this out.
Google EasyBCD. And then download that software. so if you ever mess up , then you can make a new entry in your bootmanager and name it what you want. lets say you mess up with ubuntu, and in boot menu ubuntu option doesnt come, then you go to windows 7/8 and then open up EasyBCD , make a new entry , name it Ubuntu(or what ever you want) and then point it out to "wubildr.mbr" (remeber , make backup of the three files i told above..) Also you can change the names of existing OS. Like Windows 7 can be changed into Hello, This is Windows 7 . Then this will appear in your boot screen..
Hope i helped. I know you booted windows 8 in VM, but VMs are slow... I just gave you extra info so u know what to do if you mess up on install new OS again

It is easy install Ubuntu alongside win7 and install windows 8 to a different partision
you can install them separately, each on a partition
it is very normal and easy
i did it, i installed windows 7 then 8 then ubuntu
just make sure to install ubuntu after all because of the grub boot loader
Win 8, then Hyper-V as many different OSs as you have space for, its quick, painless, you don't need to worry about Linux over zealous bootloaders screwing everything up, unless you are running several at the same time even a moderate spec'd PC with the correct hardware requirements will run them both without much of an issue.
one thing I miss from 7 is the ability to run XP programs right of my desktop, I have some USB hardware that only supports 32bit XP, on 64 bit 7 I VM'd with XP mode, had the program icon that used said hardware right on my 7 desktop, double clicked, and for all intensive purposes it ran and worked the hardware as if it was on that very os
pretty impressed I have to say, alas it doesn't work like that on 8 which is a shame
Hello all,
I made a fresh install on my PC with Windows7 x86, because I bought a new and bigger SSD.
On my old Installation I had all the Tools for my HD2 installed, without any Problems. Okay, it's a long time ago I made the Installation, but it worked.
On the new System, I always receive a message when I try to install Windows Phone Power Tools that the Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.dll V11.0.0.0 is missing. I searched Google and find out that the dll will be installed by Windows Phone Developer Tools. But it's allready installed!! Also Windows Phone SDK 7.1 is installed.
I cant find any V11 on Google and no other hint how to install the DLL on my new System.
Any ideas from someone??
Thanks and Greets,
Masterslice
Okay, it seems that no one can help me out with this problem..
I made another thing, my old system is on the old SSD. I put back this SSD in my PC and booted the system.
As I found in Google, the location must be C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\CoreCon\1.0\Bin\, but there was no dll..
I searched for the mentioned dll and found it here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0\Bin\Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.dll in Version 10.1.40219.209
And the Windows Phone Power Tools were installed here:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\07VV00KK.TYR\L17KJWPJ.ZXY\wind..tion_89698295f69f556b_0001.0000_18b3ec4d3a81c136
Why a part of the folders has such kind of strange names, i dont know..
Next step was, I backup the folders from my old system and copied them to my new system.
Now I can start the WindowsPhonePowerTools.exe and connect with my HD2! It works!
But I cant understand why I can't install all from the beginning..
Better to make a Backup also from this programm!
Seems to be solved.

I am sorry, but I can't help you and give you the file.
Because I work now on my System with Windows 8.1 and I didn't installed all the Tools for HD2.
My HD2 is working, but I didn't used it since I got my Lumia820.
Sorry if a similar thread is already there
I hv a Vaio (vpcsb18gg) with windows 7 build in.....
how do i install win 8 with dual boot option...i hv already made a empty partion for installin win 8
thanks in advance
Rather than wasting your time with posting (including an apology) and our time with responding to it, have you considered just using the search feature, or a general web search? People have been dual-booting Windows versions for, oh, the last 18 years at least. It's not hard to find info about.
Just install Win8 to the second partition. Why'd you even need to ask? Win8 uses the same bootloader as Win7 and Vista, so it will auto-detect them, but this works even with Vista or later and XP or earlier, which don't use the same loader (so long as you install the newer OS first).

All you pretty much need is the windows 8 iso on a disc or boot-able USB drive, when you buy windows 8 you should get in a disc or you can find the windows 8 .iso and enter in your key once the installation is complete
1. Use this to put the iso on a disc or usb drive: http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
2. Power off your computer
3. On your computer, when your booting it gives you an option to boot from cd or usb (normally press your F keys or another special key when booting up to give you the option, i think for a vaio its F11 or F12)
4. Just keep clicking next till it asks you if you want "uprgrade" or "coustom" click "coustom" it should give you the option to install to that partition if it doesn't make sure your partition is 20gb and is formatted as ntfs
If you want to watch a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_p4rCyYGW0 (Skip to 6:32 unless you want to watch the partition part) it may not be windows 8 retail but its thee exact same process.
Any more questions reply or PM me
Edit: When you use the upgrade assistance it downloads the windows 8 you want just click "download pro (or any other version)" put the .iso in on a disk or usb
Here's upgrade assistant:

When i bought my laptop it did have Windows 7 on it. But i did have a option to bye Windows 8 cheap with a promotioncode. Sow i buyed Windows 8. But only this year i found out its a upgrade disk... Bummer. Well never likked Windows 8 much after trying testversion and seeing the final product. It made me think of Viste. (Not finnist) Never mind... I did not like the sow called Metro menu at that time. I dont like the way the settings work. Its not like i used to.
But i wanted to do somthing with this useless Windows 8 update disk. Windows 8.1 is a free update to Windows 8 users/byers. Sow i looked into some options to get Windows 8.1 with updates.. But no option i really liked. (Dont like putting in a ligit code after install. Ore running updates) What i did not want is install the Windows 8 upgrade on my Windows 7 laptop. Windows 7 works just fine. I could have made some image *.wim from the finall install.
Sow let me finally tell now what to do with the upgrade disk image. Dont use it. Its that simple! Get a Windows 8.1 with update from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media The image will take a Windows 8 key. Thats what i wanted!!! Normally you would have to install Windows 8.1 with some default key form MS and put in the bought key after install (When using the key from the Windows 8 upgrade disk). That suck.
Well happy installing Windows 8.1 with update1 using you're Windows 8 key. That's my point haha.
Well thats not all for me. I wanted to install Windows 8.1 for a usb stick and with out to many clicks. Sow i did look into some programs like Nlite (XP) Vlite and sow on. Than i found https://www.ntlite.com/ from the same maker of Nlite and Vlite! The program Ntlite works great. Not like Nlite but still great. The build image can be tested with a program like wm player.
Sow in the and i put my Windows 8.1 on my minipc. (Conected to the tv) Windows 8.1 is just great for playing some music and movies. (I hope i can reinstall sometime with some Windows 8 driverpack by the way)

Are you trying to install Win 10 while booted in Win 7? I tried to upgrade this way too (on a desktop computer) and it was a nightmare, took almost 5 hours and failed each time. Ive downloaded the Win 10 ISO from MS's website, created and bootable usb stick using Rufus and made a clean install of Win 10 and everything worked fine and only took about 15 mites to install.
Make sure to create your bootable media correctly i.e: if you have BIOS motherboard, create a bootable media using MBR partition, if you have a UEFI motherboard, create it using GPT partition.
Boot in your BIOS/UEFI and change the boot devices priority so the computer boot from the usb stick and not the hard drive. then reboot.
Should now be booted in the installation menu
Go ahead and install windows, dont forget to backup your important files if doing a clean install.
Be sure to have your Win7 CD key so you can activate you Win10 installation.
There you have it kumar, will just have to seconded alray. Download the ISO file online from sites like getintopcdot.com and create a USB installation media using rufus. Then try installing again, also make sure you upgrade to version of windows 7 you are using so you can have an activated version of windows 10. I mean if you are currently running windows 7 home, download and install windows 10 home or if you using windows 7 pro, download and install windows 10 pro.
