Windows 8 on an A31... :-)

[Johan]

... if someone would like to play with Windows 8 on an A31, have a look in the thread Win 8, bypass PAE/NX/SSE2 check - Page 30 where an user has reported:

Just want to say I got Windows 8.1 Pro on an IBM Thinkpad A31 2652, it took aleast a week to get everything to load properly but through trial and error I present Windows 8.1 Pro on a Thinkpad A31.

Personally I think Windows 8/8.1 works alot better on the Thinkpad then Windows XP or Windows 7 I have had no BSODS no random shut downs, no freezing, you would actually think Windows 8 should have been on these Dinosaur machines. Although I do still have to Press F8 - F7 to disable driver enforcement but never the less all my drivers worked, accept the wireless with a quick windows update it fixed this. If anyone knows how to permanently have windows access the F7 option by ts self without user input that would be great to know and much appreciated!

Amazing...
