My PC worked fine with the internet until I updated to Win 8. I can only get about half of the websites to connect now. I have 7 on a different drive, and it still works fine , so it is not a hardware problem.
I tried NETSH, to no avail. I reset my browser settings, emptied the cache, and tried disabling the firewall, renewed the ipconfig, reset the router(system is hard-wired), etc., as well as shut down any anti-virus software......and still half of my websites do not load.
I am trying to update to 8.1, and the download center opens, then does not connect to the store! I have a full copy of 8.1 on disc, but I do not want to lose all my settings that I transferred over from 7 to 8. I do not understand why 8.1 does not allow one to keep one's settings ...... but 8 does.......
