• Pavilion 1301tx g6: 10 windows upgrade compatibility

  First of all, I really want to try the new windows 10. I use windows 7 Professional for hp pavilion 1301tx g6 and it's grahics driver amd hd 7450 m. My question is if I upgrade my laptop for windows 10, will be this driver it is necessary for the new operating system? Let me rephrase the question, can I get the graphics driver to my laptop for windows 10? Ireally wantto besure as to its compatibility. With my other laptop sony vaio, I tried to install the new os and I get BSD. They (CC) said the graphics driver is not compatible, but when I click on the logo of small windows on the bar he spots says your pc is compatible. This time I really want to be sure as to its compatibility. Please help me in this matter.

  @SBKH: Unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 driver for your device. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.
  
  You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139
  
  If that does not do anything, you should read this another link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-6000-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5048664/model/5077076/document/c04758308/
  
  If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293
  
  If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

  Also... If you want to test the upgrade, then before doing this, consider using a third-party application Imaging/restoration as Macrium Reflect to image your machine off so that you can easily restore it if something does not work.  And don't count on the Win10 GoBack function back on Win7, it is not reliable and can leave your computer in a damaged state.
  
  Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck

• Win7 PRO update - to get the Windows XP Compatibility Mode = No. WORKY!

  I bought a fairly expensive system, it comes w / no NEED Win7 HOME edition-paid the cost of upgrade ridiculous just so that I could have programs Windows XP compatibility because NONE of the programs my WinXP Pro embarks on this edition of Crapola from windoze to find that you have to DOWNLOAD.

  Pleasant for people who must pay for their bandwidth because they have satellite systems because * NEWSFLASH to MICROSOFT * broadband high speed is not available nationwide!

  Thus, after 6 DOWNLOADS of the Retarded _ "prove it is a true copy of Windoze ' message - he FINALLY admits that ' Yes, I really waste my money on this _ rather than buy a REAL operating system! and sends me to the download link (FINALLY).

  So, I try to download this _ any way & it starts to download, 4 HOURS later I get:

  C:\Downloads\WindowsXPMode_en-US.exe could not be saved because the source file could not be read.

  Try again later or contact the server administrator.

  different 3 times, I received this after 17 HOURS TOTAL of download.

  So I send a message to 'Technical Support' where I said that I have to wait 24 hours for a bloody response. NICE. REALLY GOOD.

  Why the _ is not only included on the stupid Win 7 DISC? As you know GD although normal programs will not work win 7! ???

  Someone at - it a number of telephone CONTACT for WINDOZE? I am so sick of dressing - I have a business to run and it gets OLD very fast.

• Purchase desktop with Vista above... is there a "free" or discounted for Windows upgrade?

  About 6 years ago I bought a new edition special desktop HP Pavilion at Future Shop.  Now I don't get updates, or the software corrects more.   Windows 10 is free for new versions...  Is there a discounted '10' for Vista and earlier versions of windows?   If I have to pay full price, this will be the 5th time that I pay for a new version of windows.  Please let know us if there is a download available.

  Louis Kish

  Hello

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade or discounted Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• HP Envy Notebook m6-1125dx: no problems with the HP Envy m6 at 10 Windows upgrade?

  I plan the upgrade of Windows 10 of my HP ENVY m6-1125dx Notebook PC (Intel Core i5 - 3210M CPU) and need to know if this computer will be compatible with Windows 10. Because the HP support Web site now requires a scanning system to report on the drivers available, I have no way of knowing if there are any drivers Windows 10 available (or if they are still required). I thought that maybe I could send an e-mail or chat with HP to see what they have to say, but they want $60 to answer a question!

  Please let know us if anyone has experience (good or bad) with 10 of Windows upgrade for th want m6.

  Hüffer,

  Just an update... I followed your advice and installed upgrading on-site instead of clean, and everything seems to work fine. The only real glitch, I met was the trackpad settings have been changed which because of many problems, but I could attack while going in the Synaptics Control Panel and reset everything to the way I like them.

  Thanks again for the help and I'll review it "resolved".

• BSOD after windows upgrade from Home Premium to Vista Ultimate

  Hello

  I have a brand new A200 - TH1 comes with Vista Home Premium installed Edition. I had to install Vista Ultimate to get the job in Sql Server 2005 Reporting SERVICES. Upgrade Windows at all times managed without problems or errors. The problem is that my system gets now BSOD about 20 times a day. Its extremely unstable. I have restored to Home Premium using recovery disks, everything is stable until I apply vista ultimate improvement. I tried the upgrade without having to install any other software, shortly after my system crashes with BSOD 0 x 00008086. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vista Business Edition would be the surface, but there is no upgrade for this. I am very confused as to why a skeleton of the system from vista home premium to vista ultimate would cause my sysytem so unstable...

  Hello Jack

  I imagine that you have these problems, because a few months ago, I read an interesting article on this update and it was written on possible problems after the upgrade procedure. I installed a few times Ultimate on my A200 but as new installation.

  What you can try is to install the OS by using recovery media, delete all the stuff designed by Toshiba, including all other software like Norton. After doing this upgrade brand.

  When the upgrade is complete, install all the stuff of Toshiba order following facilities described in the instructions for Installations. I A200 with Vista Home Premium but I don't have a media Anytime upgrade and cannot test with my Satellite.

• Windows 95 compatibility

  Windows 7 has a Windows 95 compatibility mode for older games?

  Lance68,

  Yes, it's done, but it is not 100% guaranteed to work correctly. This works for some programs, but not for all.

  Right-click of your program, properties tab check "Run in compatibility mode" and W95 is top of the list. There are also some specific options like use res 640 x 480 or 256 colors etc.

  But nothing is certain in what concerns if the program is running or not.

  I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

  You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

  If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

• Aurora R4 fans operating at 100% after 10 Windows upgrade

  After upgrading my Aurora R4 for Windows 10 I suddenly after a week suddenly had problems with my control center and control of fans and lighting.

  When I turn on my Alienware fans go to 100% speed and stays there. No control of the fans in the command center, also not able to control them manually.

  Tried to reinstall the center of command several times. versions 3.5 and 3.6. Also tried the drain of power between UN-installing and installation. BIOS is A11.

  Summer contemplating the purchase of a new Council MIO but reading other messages I do not his failure as it seems that most of the issues related to the fans operating at 100% is related to the Windows upgrade 10. I tried running MIO diagnostic tools, but it will not work through the test.

  There is a blue light until then in left corner of the members of the IMU.

  My understanding is that the MIO card is connected via a USB port on the motherboard. What is problems with the origin of this problem USB driver?

  Does anyone know if Dell is working on a fix for this?

  Any help would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  KO

  I have same exact problem on my R4 Aurora just upgraded to Windows 10.  I think it is a bug in the controller of Alienware Dell must fix as soon as possible (but probably will not fix soon, or never).  It is not your MIO Board, because many others have this same problem and I do not think that all these maps MIO just failed at the same time.

  I hope that Dell reads these forums because we do need a software fix for this.

  You can use a workaround and launch control center and go to the thermal control.  Adjust the fans from automatic to manual at a set speed or use the curve.  Then restart. It should pump fans several times on how to start and stop, but after starting the fans should settle.

  Also sleep no longer works on Windows 10 on the R4.  Put the PC to sleep works for a few minutes but he then wakes up and will not fall asleep.  Too bad Dell certified the R4 for windows 10 prematurely.  I would have never improved my Windows 7 Pro I knew all these problems existed.
