Install DfuSe USB Upgrade on Windows 7/8 /8.1

I just tried installing the DfuSe USB Upgrade Tool on Windows 8/8.1 which I have both versions. You will need to first install the DfuSe USB Upgrade tool then you might have to manually install the driver for it like I had to. The default install folder should be C:/Program Files/devention Upgrade Tools/Driver

Click on and run as administrator either dpinst_x86 if you have a 32-bit operating system or dpinst_ia64 if you have a 64-bit operating system.
This will install the driver for the DfuSe USB Upgrade.


Here is a screenshot. Windows 32-bit









Here is a screenshot. Windows 64-bit









* For Windows 7 32-bit I didn't have to manually install the driver but if the driver doesn't install use this same manual method to install the driver.

I need to get a new laptop, thinking 8.1 touch screen. Will it be a good fit, or should I look at a 7/8 operating system?

Personally, I'd recommend you buy a MacBook Pro. Far superior to anything Windows (IMHO). You can use Parallels or VMware Fusion to run a Windows (or linux) OS if you need to, or you can use free open source software like Wine (or paid versions like Codeweavers) to run windows programs on a Mac, without needing a copy of Windows at all. (I use wine regularly to run and test out new nightly versions of the Deviation emulator) I do also use VMware Fusion, to run a Windows 7 64 bit virtual machine, when I need a full Windows environment (which is really pretty rare... RealFlight 7 and DFuse being about my only use for Windows)
