By
Before comes Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 you made thebootable iso for Windows 7.Boot from USB and start to setup the Windows 7. Windows 8/8.1 don’t include thetraditional BIOS. They useUEFI firmware so you must follow another way to create abootable USB.
If you interest to read what isUEFI you can find a small description here and more detailshere.
UEFI is more secure and faster than traditional BIOS but here comes the problem when you try to boot from an iso file to install Windows 8/8.1. I have spent lot of hours until found the right way to boot from a USB to install Windows 8/8.1.
As an IT when Windows 8 realeasedI download the iso,  create the bootable usb to start the installation but never boot.I change USB , download again the iso , create multiple times the bootable usb but every time the same results.
After lot of search I understand that must create a UEFI bootable USB to start the installation of  Windows 8/8.1. Follow I will explain how can do it and I hope to save lot of time.
To create UEFI bootable usb I use Rufus . It is small utility that create bootable usb flash drive. You can find lot of these utilities but the difference from other utilities is that offer 3 different partition schmeme to target the system type, such as those UEFI based computers.
  • Download the utility from https://rufus.akeo.ie/
  • Plug in the USB flash drive in the PC.
  • Open the utility and you will get the following window 
  • If Rufus can't recognize your USB or you don't have plug in the USB you will have a windows like
  • As I say before you can see the 3 different partition schemes . The default one is the MBI partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI computers . Don’t change it
  • Find the option Create a bootable disk using ISO Image and click on the button.
  • Choose your iso file that you want to add.
  • Click Start.
Wait until finsh. Unplug from your pc and plug in the pc that you want to install Windows 8 or 8.1 Powen On the PC and wait until get the message Click on any key to boot from USB.
Very easy but YOU MUST KNOW the way. I hope to find interested my article and save your time. Do your comments and help to be better.

The EHang 184 Is A Human-Sized Drone Taking Off At CES

By
We’ve seen some pretty cool stuff on day 1 of CES 2016, but probably nothing more eye-catching than the EHang 184, a human-sized drone built by the Chinese UAV company  EHang . Yes you heard right — a giant autonomous drone that fits a human. It’s basically what you would expect to see if someone shrunk you down to the size of a LEGO and stuck you next to a DJI Inspire. Except no one was shrunk, and the giant flying machine was sitting smack in the middle of the CES drone section. EHang, which was founded in 2014 and has raised about $50M in venture fundingto date, was pretty gung-ho about telling everyone at CES that the 184 was the future of personal transport. And for the most part, people were too in awe to question them. But the reality is that the company probably was using the 184 as more of a marketing tool for their standard-sized drones like the  Ghost . Not that we’re saying that the 184 will never be a real thing, just that it probably isn’t co...

Western Union Brings Money Transfer And Its Tricky Fees To Chat Apps

By
Remittance has always been a shady business. Migrant workers need to send money they earn home to their families, but get hit with fine print fees so less cash comes out the other side than they might assume. Remittance companies earn extra by keeping the margin between their own made up exchange rate and the real one. Western Union is the best known remittance company, with 500,000 brick-and-mortar locations around the world. But tech startups like TransferWise, Azimo, and WorldRemit are gunning for the business. They hope to increase convenience and reduce fees to lure customers away from Western Union, Moneygram, and other old-school remittance providers. So  Western Union  is going digital thanks to partnerships with big messaging apps. It launched its Western Union Connect system in October last year, followed by a partnership with WeChat for sending up to $100. Now it’s getting into bed with  Viber , which has over 664 million “unique” users, thou...

NVBOTS Wants To Make 3D Printers As Easy As Toasters

By
Right now 3D printing curriculums, if they exist, are fairly sparse. Putting a two thousand dollar machine in front of a grade schooler usually ends up in a lot of 3D printed Yoda heads and not much education while the learning curve for most 3D design tools is steep. That’s what the founders of NVBOTS, AJ Perez, Forrest Pieper, Christopher Haid, and Mateo Peña Doll, are looking to solve. Their product, the  NVPRO , is a 3D printer with a few interesting features. The two most interesting are the automatic removal system which pops parts off of the build plate when they are done and a built-in print server that allows you to print from any device. This means you can run large batches of prints from different users with each part popping off as its printed. This means a class of students can send jobs to a printer and then pick them up just as they would a laser printer. The printer also supports a central “admin” who can check jobs before they are printed as and offers a ...

Facebook Plans To Put Ads In Messenger

By
A leaked document Facebook sent to some of its biggest advertisers reveals that Facebook will launch ads within Messenger in Q2 2016. The document also notes that Facebook has quietly launched a URL short link fb.com/msg/ that instantly opens a chat thread with a business. Facebook confirmed the existence of the URL short link. That seems to back up the validity of the leaked document. An example of messages between businesses and users Regarding Messenger ads specifically, Facebook told me “We don’t comment on rumor or speculation. That said, our aim with Messenger is to create a high quality, engaging experience for 800 million people around the world, and that includes ensuring people do not experience unwanted messages of any type.” That last part sounds like Facebook trying to reassure users that even when there are ads, they won’t be completely unsolicited, and it’s going to be very careful. Messenger is one of Facebook’s most popular and fastest-growing products, wi...

Smart savings app Clinc is a new fintech startup from ex-CEO and founder of Numbrs

By
Last April, Julien Arnold quietly left his role as CEO of Numbrs, the mobile-first banking app he co-founded with Swiss company builder Centralway. Now, almost a year on, he’s on the verge of launching his next project:  Clinc , a mobile app to make it easier to save money for a future purchase or financial rainy day. Using what Arnold describes as a “dynamic intelligence algorithm,” Clinc promises to track your current account spending and analyse the results to find the optimum amount to save each month, which is then automatically deposited into your Clinc savings account underpinned by the startup’s partner bank. The secret sauce, which he won’t go much into detail on, is that the app is dynamic, able to make on-the-fly adjustments to how much you transfer to your savings account based on how your spending has changed or are predicted to change. In other words, Clinc’s central proposition is to help you achieve your financial goals faster. “This is the bigges...
