    I was trying to upgrade my machine to Windows 8. The third step gave this screen: Choose.png (41.7 KB) That ended it right there. I have to use a spare laptop now.

              Brilliant! At least they're not pretending to migrate some of your valuable(?) data.

                There is no question mark after the Question. and there is no option to answer the question. I think this is just plain threat from Microsoft to your Data. :laugh: OT: My Windows 7 Desktop with new SSD is acting odd, everytime I shut it down, it corrupts some data/files. I have reinstalled windows 2 times and upgraded BIOS/Drivers, but still same thing. So I am planning to install Windows 8 Today, just to see how it is... and it will be funny when this screen appears. :-D

                            That would be because it is an instruction, not a question.

                            There is an option to respond - admittedly providing very little choice!

                              The funny thing is to consider the converse of such a notion. Upgrading to Win8 is comparable to death-- no one knows what comes next, but all you have previously worked for is lost in the transition.
