is there a USB Plugged/Unplugged log available in 8.1? my mouse keeps disconnecting mid gaming and I want to check how often the mouse disconnects. I haven't checked the Event Log yet.

It shouldn't interfere with the upgrade, upgrading Windows is almost like upgrading the OS on your phone. Click upgrade & all s/w + setttings carry over.

Finally an update after so many months. It's stuck at 64% or download getting canceled at 64%?

You could try grabbing a clean ISO of 8.1 and upgrading. Also windows 10 free upgrade offer also ending soon.

Speeds should be good. When we used it initially when offer was out, their servers used to mess up. But now most people always upgraded. I suggest you directly upgrade to Windows 10 if possible

so, i need to make another 50GB partition just to install 10. i will keep using 8.1 though.

too much work before 29th. :pullhair:

Sounds very redundant. BTW like I said before once you click that update button your license for 8.1 changes to one for 10.

Idk why you'd want 8.1 and 10.

i thought you can have 8.1 & 10 parallel in 2 partitions. like last time i did with xp and 8. both are active and can be used.

well, ms is forcing a lot of stuff & taking away a lot of freedom with 10. this is why i have not upgraded to 10.

so, i should update to 10 or not, i don't want to loose 8.1 license.
