OK, we are hitting already enough of platform-specific problems to continue this discussion in a dedicated thread - I suggest that so that others like yourself will have an easier time finding all the windows8-related fastai-v1 issues in one place.
So would you kindly start a new thread, share everything you shared so far including errors (very important as people will search for those). And then reply to this post with the link to where this discussion has moved.
And afterwards see if this helps: "Error: No module named 'bcolz'." but bcolz is already installed.
Of course, most of the windows issues are the same for fastai 0.7 or 1.0 since they mostly have nothing to do with fastai which is just pure python code, but the building blocks which are platform-specific at times, with the only difference that fastai 1.0 has slightly different prerequisites and we have been trying hard to remove any dependencies on problematic packages.
Thank you.
