Windows 8 Consumer Preview
We have been running the Windows 8 Developer Preview build on a couple of desktops and more recently on a laptop with some good experiences.
Although our computer repairs workshop is busy, we have created time to upgrade the test Windows 8 laptop to the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
It's a new installation procedure in that you download a small .exe and run it on the intended host. The Windows 8 app check for compatibility with the hardware and the currently installed OS which in this case is the Windows 8 Developer Preview.
Said Windows 8 installer cheerfully reported that the hardware should works and that 8 of the current Apps would work with the new version of Windows 8.
The only slight concern is that the only Apps on the laptop are Windows 8!!
The installation is working as a download :( which means our broadband connection is being thrashed and despite it being a 10 meg connection, the installation is citing 1hr 25 to complete!!
We'll update this post as things hopefully progress but in the meantime we are going to get back to repairing all these sick computers and laptops.
Well the new installation finally completed some 4 hrs later and the test laptop seems to be stable enough.
If you are interested or even mildly curious, pop into our computer repair shop in Perth and give Windows 8 Consumer Preview a go!

This is why very young children and laptops DO NOT mix well:

| Laptop Keyboard Destroyed by Baby
Luckily the lad did not swallow any of the parts!
The client brought this laptop into our computer and laptop repair center in Perth on a Monday and collected the laptop after the repair on the Thursday of the same week

The PC Solutions Football Team
Managed by Bruce Robertson, all of the players are Firemen (including Bruce) who serve at Perth Fire Station. As a result of commitments to the Fire Service and shift work, it can be difficult to field a regular team but Bruce and the lads are very committed and go to great lengths to turn out each Sunday night for the matches.
We publish a Match Report each week as to the team's progress and we are so very proud of their 8 victories in a row!!
If you Like this, please give the lads a boost by Liking it via FaceBook and Plus 1 on Google!
