Windows 8 was released in Oct 2012. The first Windows 8 releases were 32-bit. But by the time Windows 8 came out, things had changed. Now there are several methods of installing windows 8 to your computer, but this method will only work if you have a 64 bit version of windows installed on your computer which was within the last 12 months or so. This is because it's meant for "multipassing" meaning that you can install multiple operating systems without having them compete for resources or overwrite each other's files, unlike VirtualBox or dual booting otherwise. The following step can be performed on any computer that already has Windows installed, but hasn't been upgraded to 64 bit yet. Extract the files to a temporary folder on your computer. Be careful with your extractions! When you extract something, it will take all of the folders and files that are inside the folder and throw them out into another folder. If this folder is placed somewhere else later on, it will take away all of those files again if they are not moved before trying to extract again. Open up a command prompt (Windows Key + X -> Command Prompt) and navigate to the directory you extracted Windows8_1_x64_Setup-ThisIsIt-v5.5-FullVersion.run. Now type in the following command: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\Command Prompt.exe" /T:X /L:X:SETUP.LOG Once you hit Enter in the command prompt, it will create a log in the folder mentioned above and begin installing the files to your computer. When it is done, open up Windows Explorer and go to C:\\WindowsReinstallationImage and right click on it so you can access the properties/tools/unattend file that just got created. This is what Windows will think you want after re-installing. Install it in the same way you would install any other software. You will have to restart. Go back into the command prompt again and type in the following command: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\Command Prompt.exe" /T:X /L:X:SETUP.LOG This time, Windows will install the files and create a log file to go with it that will contain everything that happened during the process. When it is done, go back into your command prompt and type in the following command: "C:\\Program Files\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\Command Prompt.exe" /T:X /L:X:SETUP.LOG This time it will create a log file named SETUP.LOG to go with the installation as well as a set of HTML files that you can view in Internet Explorer or Notepad to see exactly what happened during the install. cfa1e77820
