    Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

    @bignastyid I have asked you before and I will ask again, exactly HOW do you do the upgrade? You are saying go upgrade. Provide a link with instructions, please and thank you. Show me for the troll you claim I am. I would LOVE to be wrong. Show me. Link/instructions on upgrade please. My...

    Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

    Yes, I am a troll who cites the official source. I have tried to upgrade after the official expiry date and that did not work out because Microsoft is quite explicit about their policy. You have conjecture and I have facts. Further, Macrium wants money, which I do not have in abundance. So it...

    Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

    Any hackers out there (in the noble MIT sense), that can get the 'ol Rx 560 working on Windows 8.1 like the freakin' box says? I would prefer a Libre OS, but AMD/ATI graphics hardware does not work on that either. : - ( Hoarders may make piles of money, that is true, hackers, that is true...

    Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

    @CountMike This is starting to look like a troll. Instead of pointing me to dodgy software, care to explain how you are able to get the free upgrade, which is now no longer permitted? Some reading. https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/12435/windows-10-upgrade-faq

    Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

    I have a Windows 8 Pro disk, with key. All the info I read explicitly states that Microsoft will not permit an upgrade to 10 unless I pay whatever it costs for a Windows 10 key. So right now, I do not have the money. That means I am stuck with 8.1 until things change. Simply writing, 'oh, it...

    Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

    @bignastyid I have the driver installed for the RX460 but the drivers do not work (I tried many). As for upgrading to Windows 10 from 8.1, that was discontinued by Microsoft. Unless you can give me explicit instructions to upgrade and where/how I can do it without going to some dodgy site, I...

    Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

    XFX were kind enough to offer me an RX460 graphics card if I returned the RX560. Isn't that just great of them? such generosity. I paid for an RX560, so why not get that RX460? The tech support was having a good laugh. Rather than continue to be angry, I would prefer a solution so I can get...

    Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

    I own an RX 560 (4g) XFX AMD graphics card and have windows 8.1 as my operating system. Even though the RX 560 box clearly states that Windows 8 is supported, to my dismay I discovered it is not. I called XFX and their tech support laughed. I contacted AMD and they chose not to respond. I...
