Windows 8 wont install on my computer? - Polak Predator - 02-18-2013 10:18 AM

I just got windows 8 pro and i tried to install it on my dell studio 1558 laptop. Whenever it gets to the part where it checks the pc to see if its ready to install, it always stops and says something like windows cant tell if your pc is ready. Ive downloaded any updates on my computer but it still doesnt work. Please help!

Run the upgrade assistant first, to get a report of possible issues and solutions:

Hello,
My name is Krishna and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell. The below link discusses the critical steps that you should take before and after Windows 8 upgrade, such as backing up data, updating drivers prior to upgrade, and verifying that the system supports an upgrade to Windows 8.
