Windows 8 could not be installed

Microsoft wants to stop supporting Windows 8 in the near future. So you should consider switching to Windows 10, as you can expect help from support with this operating system. If you still want to install Windows 8 but encounter problems, you can find possible solutions below.

Why could Windows 8 not be installed?

Windows 8 is the predecessor of Windows 10 and will soon no longer be supported by Microsoft. If you have a problem with the installation, the following tips can help:

1. Check whether your PC meets the minimum requirements for Windows 8. You can view these online at the Microsoft website.
2. If you already have another version of Windows installed on your PC, this can also cause a problem. Uninstall the other version or install Windows 8 on another PC.
3. You should completely wipe the hard drive during installation. It's best to back up your important data to an external hard drive beforehand, so you can copy the data back later.
4. Some users have reported that the installation doesn't work because they tried to set up a Microsoft account during installation. So skip this step and create the account at a later time.
