asked on

are the procedures for repairing Windows 7 the same for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1?

Hello and Good Evening Everyone,

            From an open post, I was given a very insightful and easy to understand link illustrating the steps used in repairing Windows 7.  Upon reviewing the information contained within the link of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html, I am wondering if a similar or identical set of procedures can be used to carry out a repair of Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.  If so, could someone provide a link outlining the steps that can be used to create or make a repair Windows 8.0/Windows 8.1 DVD or USB flash drive?

             Any feedback given in reply to this question will be greatly appreciated.

             Thank you

             George

Hello and Good Evening

          If a bootable repair DVD is created for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, can it be used for all platforms of Windows 8 such as Home, Professional, etc.?  

          Thank you
