Windows 8 version overview: Installation methods and screenshots

Sha 1 hash – 0x8BED436F0959E7120A44BF7C29FF0AA962BDEFC9

Product key for these ISO : TK8TP-9JN6P-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF

One of the most important things after downloading such a download is that you must match the Sha1 hash. Many free software are available to check it, here I checked with Hashcalc. This is a must before burning a DVD, as download errors, if any, will cause installation problems.

Once you are sure the SHA1 hash matches, you can right-click the ISO (in Windows 7) to burn it to a bootable DVD. Make sure the’Check disc after burning’ option is enabled. You can also use any 3rd subroutine to burn the DVD. read more

Please wait while Windows configures Windows Live Mail

Although I love using Windows Live Mail on my Windows 7, I never liked updating it. For a long time I stopped updating Windows Live Mail 2011 to the latest version for the simple reason that every time I did it and restarted, I couldn’t reply or send new emails and I got the error – Failure to initialize the canvas. I never really found a solution to this error!

I tried to update WLM several times, I had the same error, then the system was restored to get the previous version. Once again, I decided to risk the update process by updating Windows Live Mail Version 2011 to build 15.4.3555.0308 a few days ago. read more
