Attention:

•The process of installing a new operating system deletes all the data on your hard disk drive, solid-state drive, or hybrid drive, including the data that were stored in a hidden folder.

•If your computer is equipped with both a hard disk drive and an M.2 solid-state drive, do not use the M.2 solid-state drive as a bootable device. The M.2 solid-state drive is used for “cache” function and to support the Intel Rapid Start Technology.

5.Connect the drive that contains the Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 operating system installation program to the computer, and restart the computer.
