coolguystan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Just curious, does anyone have windows 8 running on their m14x yet? I have it running on my clevo and so far it is great. Very quick and snappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekojin Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Downloaded it but didn't had the time to test it. How is the driver support? And how did you install it? Clean install or updated (if this is even possible)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean install or updated (if this is even possible)?Driver support sucks. My graphics aren't working, wifi isn't working. I did the upgrade option. I regret installing this. I am going to have to do a clean wipe to get rid of it. Goodbye files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Yeah, you can't really expect full driver support... (Hello captain obvious... ) The best way to test this Win8 version is probably making a separate 30GB partition or similar, then you can easily delete it after seeing how crappy it is, lol.

Haha well that's what I tried to do but i the partition was taking WAYYYYYYY to long. I stopped it after a day and a half and decided to wing it after seeing success from m11x r3 users who even had graphics switching working. My graphics card didn't even show up so I don't know. I am going to stay away from windows 8 anyway. I hate the new metro ui with a passion. Not user friendly at alll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rod_021 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 is there any compatibility mode support in win8?Does exist, but not for the BF3. bf3 is not yet compatible with Windows 8, too many dll errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mullaney Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I've been running Win8 on mine since the early pre-release builds. I was surprised at how few problems I've had. MS seem to have nailed a lot of the driver comparability problems that made the XP->Vista move so horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lftft Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 We have Windows 8 at work. I'm not a huge fan--seems they can't decide if its for tablets or computers and ends up being the worst of both worlds. From what I've read, windows 10 (there is no 9) should be much better. So, I plan to stick with 7 until 10 is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
