Just tried this, and to no avail. Everything seems the same as before with no audio option for the monitor. I also noticed in my device manager "high definition audio device" has a little warning sign next to it. I tried updated that, as well as uninstalling it but neither did anything.

Recently I discovered my laptop no longer sees my HDMI monitor as an audio output option. I tried using a TV as well and the same thing happens, no output option. Both the TV and monitor output sound when used with other devices though. My laptop was working perfectly fine with my monitor speakers recently, maybe a month or two ago (maybe more, I normally use a headset so i'm not 100% sure when this happened). Here's what I've tried so far: -Showing disabled and disconnected device in the the sound control panel -Reinstalling audio drivers -Full resetting windows (although when I did this I chose a complete reset, it still had some drivers installed and it kept some of my previous data so i'm not sure if there's a better way to do it) -Restarting windows audio service I have no idea what else to try, any help at all is much appreciated and i'm happy to supply any info or screenshots that might help! My laptop is and ASUS ROG Zephyrus M GM501GS with the specs shown here (mine is the GTX 1070 version on the left): https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ROG-Zephyrus-M-GM501/Tech-Specs/

Aren't they both upgrades though?

So recently I decided to finally build a gaming computer, although my whole life I have been I mac user so windows is very new to me (obviously I was going to put windows on my computer). Anyway, with my new computer I want to put windows 8 on it, and after checking on Microsoft's website I found out that for windows 8.1 has a student discount for 8.1 pro upgrade and windows 8 pro upgrade. What I don't quite understand is which one I should buy if I want to do a clean install on a new hard drive. I guess basically what i'm asking if which one I should buy, and then how I should go about installing it via USB. Also I am still waiting for one of the parts to my computer to come but it should be here by tomorrow I just wanted to get this figured out before I started. Sorry if I sound like an idiot it's just that I'm new to this so thanks in advance!
