I have an old GA-P55A-UD7 board that has become my wife's machine. She does not like me to mess with the computer. I have a spotty history of "this should be simple" turning into a small fire and new hardware. She is gone for 3 days so I figured this was the time. This is day two. Today I tried to install the ISO of Win 8 pro 64 bit over a Win 7 Pro 64 bit. It accepted my serial number and moved on. I instructed win 8 install to preserve apps and info.
After a couple hours or so of self flagellation, the last reboot brought up a boot list of 7 or 8. I chose 8. It said 8 can not boot. 7 boots, but with applications missing (e.g., Firefox).
Looking at the motherboard drivers from Gigabyte, I don't see anything for Win 8.
Any suggestions of where to go next on this?
