I have an old MSI K8N Diamond Plus and I am trying to install windows 8.1 on it and it will not work.
I used the windows 7 usb tool to make a windows 8.1 bootable usb stick and that worked on 2 newer pc's but when I try it on the K8N it boots to the win 8.1 logo and does nothing.
I even tried burning it to a dvd and the same thing happens.
Am I missing some trick or something to get this to work? Any ideas out there to try to help?
If it comes down to it I will do a fresh install of win 7 and the upgrade if I have to unless someone can help me figure this out.
