Hi, to all,
for job necessity I had to install Windows 8 through BootCamp in My MacBookPro early 2011 15''.
To do this I formatted my Mac, update from Lion to Mavericks, and then create a partition through BootCamp assistant, giving 450gb to the Windows partition

I utilized an original disc of Windows 8 for the installation, and then I installed BootCamp 5 drivers with the exe setup

Now I have some problems that are making me crazy...

1- The internet connection, both wi-fi and ethernet, is strange, isn't linear; if I do a speediest sometimes the ping reach 1000 points, and the download/upload is slow, and go up and down (In OSX I don't have any problem). I'll try to change the drivers (broadcom BGM43xx), change the router configuration, put "high performance" in the battery settings, that seems a cause of some problems, but I don't resolve completely the problem

2 - The installations of some softwares seem to "freeze" for long times, but at least the installations finish. But I can't install Windows 8.1 update, when I reach the 64% it says "applying the modifies" and seems freezed. I rebooted but the problem persists. Also I think that I have lost the 4gb downloaded, so I have to download again (my default connection go at 0,6mb/s, now less, so imagine how much time I have to wait...)

Please somebody can help me?? :(
