Install from USB

Here's a link to the tool that will put the ISO onto a USB stick in the quickest time.

Rufus

Simple to use, change the 'create a bootable disk using' drop down to ISO, then point it at your download and click Start.

Install from DVD

To burn the ISO to disc, download IMGBurn and select 'Write Image File to Disc' then point it down the download and click Burn

There's a proper MS USB tool which I find much better than that hooky Rufus POS

It's an awesome tool, can create a bootable DOS usb key without needing to find anything else yourself!

Bah, my netbook is 1024 x 600, none of the metro apps work with less than 768

I can't believe there's still no fix for my Xonar control panel.
Half tempted to get rid of the STX now.

It's a preview OS

You can't expect every driver to work, Microsoft could make changes that could break functionality in their next preview/beta/RC.

I don't blaim Asus for not writing new drivers, they're slow at releasing them for the current OS as it is!

Not having graphics drivers that work is another story..

Yup,

They release half of them in .rar files, what are they thinking?!

zip, I could maybe understand if they released beta drivers in zip files. They should be at least unpacking exe's if not proper installers

I'm away when the new release comes out.

Someone copy the content from my first post and make a new thread for it. Feel free to link to that hash tool on my webspace

They need to add some kind of 'show all apps from this manufacturer' to the Store.

It feels a bit lacking compared to the the Google Play Store

Dear Asus, please release Xonar drivers

bledd · 13 Sep 2012 at 22:20

Get the 90 day enterprise edition..
