Good morning, I use automation software that releases a new version to install every year. Now I have 2 versions of the program installed on my PC: TiaPortalV17 and TiaPortalV18. Each of the programs has its own respective file extensions: .zap17 and .zap18. The programs are installed in these...

My daughter's PC is dying, so we're getting a new one. I am not looking forward to re-installing all of her programs that don't come with a new machine, especially since I, with great shortsightedness, did not save the commands and access codes used in the original installs, but I can find some...

Assume I have prepared some Win8.1 ISOs backups from my original system with slipstreamed update 1 and eventually update 2. Now I fetched out such an ISO archive. How can I find out now if such a ISO already contains update 1 or even update 2? Is there somewhere a files with history/changelog...

i'm having numbers confused. why cna't they just say "build 1" "build 2"..... damn, how do you jump from 0 to 7600 just like that?

Just speculation, but with 7264 we now have a "new animal" that will not accept RC keys. COULD IT BE that the keys it will accept are those for RTM? If so, upgrading from 7260 (and previous RC builds) could verify that RC can upgrade to RTM. My 7260 upgraded fine to 7264 although I had the...
