Assist with setting up Windows 8.1 during initial installation
I installed the computer without problems so far. I purchased the Windows 8.1 student edition from Microsoft and installed it via USB in several attempts, but each failed. I mounted an ISO on the USB drive, which allowed the installation to proceed up to the HDD, not the SSD. After restarting, it reported the error irql_not_less_or_equal. When I used the standard Windows installer on the USB and tried to install, it said there were no drivers available. I’m unsure what to do next.
Last link: http://wind8apps.com/fix-irql_not_less_o...ndows-8-1/ Your windows installation is probably fine. It is a driver issue. Isolate the driver, then find a work-around.
Based on what I found, placing your wireless card in now might be interfering with the installation. I’ll take it out and test it then.
