Cheeky111 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hi,Apologies if I'm asking daft questions.I bought an acer aspire Xc-603 which comes only with dos installed.I purchased windows 8.1 pro from Mr high tech, received my code and downloaded the 64bit version and burt the iso onto a DVD. I then booted from the DVD.I managed to start installing but it came up with a compatibility report telling me - "the computer started using the windows installation media. Remove the media and restart your computer so windows starts normally. Then, reinsert the media and restart the upgrade".There is obviously something wrong as It seems to be assuming there is a version of windows already installed??? Have mr high tech given me the link for the wrong thing? I checked and was quite sure I don't need windows 8 installed first to install 8.1?Any help much appreciated.Regards,Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I cannot imaging that you can buy a computer without an operating system ("only with dos installed"). What partitions do you have on that machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
