Don't install the windows 8 preview
 
I made this mistake, today, with my laptop. I assumed they would have a tutorial. NOT

I figured I can always delete it. NOT

The only way to get it off my computer is to run the recovery disk. GUESS WHAT!!

My recovery disk was for my old Windows Vista. I'd upgraded to Windows 7.

Why does Microsoft have to make everything so difficult???

It's still a beta or pre-release version. I would not even consider installing it. I am still trying to get everything working right on Windows 7. And not in love with that.

Move to apple
 
Sounds like a Macintosh ad....

If you have windows 7 you shouldn't need a disc, search "restore"

This link (as it states) uninstalls Internet Explorer 8 - this is a web browser.

The original post is about installing Windows 8 which is Microsoft's new operating system due to be released late this year (at the moment Windows 8 is available to test in beta form).
