Sony Visio and windows 8

[David Nelson1]

Anyone know the secret to load windows 8 back on one of these laptops. I know this sounds like an elementary but its kicking my butt.

You are not alone:


REDMOND, WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/))—Bill Gates’s first day at work in the newly created role of technology adviser got off to a rocky start yesterday as the Microsoft founder struggled for hours to install the Windows 8.1 upgrade.
The installation hit a snag early on, sources said, when Mr. Gates repeatedly received an error message informing him that his PC ran into a problem that it could not handle and needed to restart.

Makes me feel better about using a Mac.

Is there a partition with an installation image?
You need to boot from it. Probably D: or E: drive.

Or navigate to it and run setup.

Try tapping f10 as soon as you turn it on and see if it will bring up a recovery partion
