The Windows 8 FAQ
In order to declutter the windows 8 general thread with unnecessary questions,I decided to create this FAQ.I have answered most of the common questions here and will be adding more and more answers as time goes by.If you want me to cover a question,just post it in this thread and ill answer them as soon as possible....
Q1.What Is A Clean Install? What's the difference between a clean install and an upgrade?
A1.A clean install means deleting the previous operating system completely,then replacing it with windows 8.You do this by booting from the cd and then installing windows 8.This is almost always the best way to install windows 8.
Q2.I copied the Iso file to my cd and burnt it,but its not booting from the cd.Why?
A2.This is because burning an ISO is not as simple as just copying the iso to the cd.You need software like IMGBurn or Free ISO Burner.After you download that,when you right click the ISO,you should get and option to burn to disk.Insert a BLANK dvd AND Burn away!
Q3.My Windows 8 Installation failed/froze/crashed!What do I do?
A3.The First thing to do if windows 8 doesn't install is to try again.Yes,try again.If it still doesn't work then try the following troubleshooting:
1)If you are trying an upgrade,forget it,take a backup of your data and do a clean install.
2)Unplug all unnecessary hardware like microphones,speakers,headphones etc
3)Check if all the setup files are proper and not corrupted
4)Check the serial key.
Q4.What is a Microsoft account?Is it necessary to create one?
A4.You do not need to create a Microsoft account to use your computer,as Microsoft allows you to use your computer with a local account.However you will not be able to sync your settings across devices,use the windows store and use Microsoft services like xbox live.

on tablet tapping the screen in a location is simply a mouse left click (unless the software specifically supports touch) and then pressing and holding for a brief period of time is a right click. This is actually a step backwards as on windows 7 you could do a much faster right click by pressing 1 finger down and then immediately tapping next to it with another finger.
With a wacom stylus, they are actually detected slightly above the screen. This I think allows you to move the cursor around without having to click in that location as you would on a regular touchscreen. Tapping with the stylus is then left click. Some styluses have either a button you hold as you tap or the ability to tap with the back of the pen as a right click. Hovering the stylus over the screen to move the cursor around also allows you to trigger rollover textboxes on websites or tooltips I think. Not 100% sure having had only limited time with a stylus equipped tablet.
Alternately. There isnt a single windows tablet out there that doesn't have USB and bluetooth capabilities. So you could use a USB mouse or a bluetooth mouse.

for daily usage wait for 8.1 to be available via windows update. The public versions right now are slightly buggy betas for developer usage, not public usage, its a fresh install not an upgrade. It will be available for free as a system update later this year

OK I am taking up the offer:
Qn. Is Windows activation done automatically or do I have to go to control panel or somewhere to do the activation?
Qn+1. My Personalize option is not greyed out, does that mean my Windows activation has been done automatically? I don't remember doing any kind of activation since I got the new PC.
Thank you for the great list of Q&A.

Yes, after release on 18, you can upgrade without losing files and apps. If you have the Preview you can upgrade to 8.1 but only keep personal files.

User Android to put a PC to sleep over a network.

Hi guys,
Am trying to put a PC to sleep over a network from my sgs3. I can use vnc to do it but would like to be able to have a button on my home screen that does it for me when pressed. Is this possible? I have tasker but have no idea if that will help.
Any ideas would be great.

Take a look at unified remote for android.
You can install a free android version, it has power control to sleep/shut down your PC. Also if you configure your machine to support wake on lan (usually in the bios) this app can wake it up as well.
Cheers for the reply, I am trying to do this without the need to install more software on the server PC.
Is there any way of executing a batch file stored on the server from the Android device?
Cheers
Blinky.

What os does the server run? Fairly easy if it's linux as you could use ssh from your phone to run remote commands, if it's windows I'm not sure, I haven't found an android implementation of psexec sadly.
I think WMI gives you some capability. At work we have a script to gather data and it uses WMI to gather logs and Windows logs and registry keys from customer's machines.

[Q] Popup Ads in Lock Screen

Recently I've been getting ads popping up on my lock screen. Sometimes the popup may be up when I swipe out of lock and onto the home screen. I have downloaded some security programs, AD push apps, but none of them are able to detect which app is doing this.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Are you using a replacement lock screen or the default one? If you can't narrow it down to be from a user based app you installed, I would full wipe immediately. You seemed to have done good troubleshooting with scanning with an antivirus(i prefer Eset) and using an ad push detector.
Do the security scanners get root rights?
ICS (and beyond) needed "tagged socket" support from the kernel so that the Android UI can tell you how much data had been used on an app-by-app basis (and probably also increase the granularity of Google spy-ware), so I have to imagine that it is possible to somehow figure that out. But this is sort of low-level stuff - not sure if there is a root app that will do this for you.
You sort of need some combination of "lsof" and "tcpdump". Maybe a tcpdump that is socket-tag aware. (I recently built an ARM version of tcpdump, but I haven't spent much time with it - don't know if that capability is in there.). In this scenario you would run a command-line tool via adb with the screen locked. Or maybe there is a way to dump android's "per-app data usage monitor" rapidly - review of time-stamped data might show you who the villain app is.
Are you sure it's not just the browser? (e.g. if you kill all tabs in you browser, does it still happen?)
Use "Norton Spot". Great app that tells you who is doing what.

[Q] Phone lock for user to perform a specific application

Hi!
I received the task of creating a mobile application for the company's employees where I work, but I can not allow them to access other device apps.
In Kitkat or Lollipop I can run an application in your phone's lock screen, or something?
In Lollipop is possible to pin an app, but when restart the device this functionality is ended.
Thanks and sorry. My english is by Translate
