Windows 8 Boot Up Issue?

[Mr. T]

Have you setup your Windows Live Account to sign?
Sounds like the computer is having issues with the WLAN and is looking for an internet connection.
Plug in an Ethernet cable and boot. If the computer boots, then allow to install the 100+ updates

Make sure your W8 is activated and all updates are up to date. It's to your advantage to setup a MS Hotmail or Outlook Online Account in order for you APPS to work.

Activation → Right click the START Icon → SYSTEM → scroll down to Windows Activation

Set up your Windows Live Account → CHARMS Menu(bottom RH corner) → Settings → Change PC Settings → USERS → Your Account & setup

From the Desktop screen → Windows Key + W → enter USER in search
Click USERS on search results → "Your Account" & setup

You will be asked how to would like to obtain your code → Text or an email account
For example if you enter your Yahoo email as the source, then go to your Yahoo Mail Inbox to retrieve this message from MS →
