I prep'd for it so I'm going to do it, dammit! I prepared on and off for a week: researched, went through the steps and what to expect in my head, learned possible snags and their fixes (from other people's first-hand accounts), prep'd what I needed to use, backed up drivers and my files, wrote down my key and printed out my step-by-step notes. It took a while but I was ready (and pumped). August 5, 2015: Clean install of Win 8.1 via bootable USB. Success!

The processing indicator light already stopped blinking and was off. Hesitantly, I had to hold the power button down so it will turn off completely. Now, given my recent computer problem , that was done with a sense of pending anxiety. I looked it up and saw that "shutdown but power still on" was an old issue for desktop PC users with Win 8 (an

Someone took a baking class at the Heny Sison school and came back with these pastries that they (their teacher, actually) made. Thanks and Yum!
