Windows 8 Installation, Kaspersky Anti-Virus Issue and resolved

Hi,

After a big gap, I am writing this post.

Today, I have upgraded my sister's laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro by purchasing online for just Rs. 1999/-. Its cool, I am liking the Windows 8 look and feel (Metro interface). I have created ISO image for backup.

But I got a problem with the KasperSky anti-virus. The version which I installed in Windows 7 doesn't support in Windows 8. While uninstalling from Windows 8, it was not successfully uninstalled.

So, I removed it from registry and corresponding folders in file explorer. It was suddenly not recognizing the trackpad and even mouse. So, using USB flash drive, I had burned ISO to a USB Pendrive and booted from it. Refreshed the OS.

You know what, all the installed apps were gone. It moved to a folder named Windows.old(>10GB). I decided to delete it. So, I performed "cleanmgr" and deleted the old windows folder Windows.old. Finally I have installed all the required softwares.

The apps from Windows store are ok. But not many apps ( I know still lot of apps will come). I liked the Wikimedia, Photofunia, ToDo, Tasklists, Engadget, etc.

Overall weekend spent on Installing Windows 8 and corresponding software updates.

Note: Please uninstall the anti-virus before you upgrading to Windows 8.

Thinkpad L412, L512 laptop review

Hi everyone,

If you are planning to buy Lenovo Thinkpad L412,L512.
Please comment, if someone experienced any problem with Thinkpad L412,L512.

As per my surfing, it doesn't have cons.
Only cons, they are talking about keyboard sound. That is standard in Thinkpad laptops.
Don't bother about anything. Whoever planning to buy, they can happily buy.

Thanks in advance

Personal Experience:
My laptop screen was gone after 4 months of time, they have replaced it.
Laptop is not responding after working 2 to 3 hours continuous. We have to forcefully shutdown and restart again. I think, some hardware issue.
