  • Satellite M40: installation of Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hello

    I am trying to upgrade my Satellite M40 (PSM40A - 03 K 009) for Windows 7 Home Premium, but towards the end of the installation, my laptop reboots and freezes you try to start Windows 7.

    I restarted in safe mode, and it seems to get stuck loading \windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys.

    I have tried everything I can think: Startup Repair running on the installation disc, install the latest versions of the drivers, update BIOS, disk reformatting, etc, but nothing seems to work.

    Can anyone help?

    See you soon
    Rob

    Hello Rob

    Please don t get me wrong, but this old notebook was designed for Windows XP Home edition. I imagine that you have problems with the installation of Win7, but I'm afraid that there is not much you can do about it.

    This laptop old models are not supported for Win7 and Toshiba will not offer some updates as the BIOS update. If you want to use the newer operating system probably you must also update your hardware. Maybe it's time for the new laptop computer. ;)

  • Satellite L750-1WW - Windows 7 Home premium OEM reinstall

    Hello

    A few days ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L750-1WW used (about 3 years).

    The only issue with it is, that there Windows 7 Professional and of course corrupt, but the original OS was Home Premium. This laptop will be my mother, and I don't want to (and also) to pass messages each time you start: "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and other things.

    Another thing: there is no recovery partition! I couldn't do a simple system restore...
    However, it is a key product for HP Win7 64 bit on the bottom of the PC, it does not work on any Windows 7 (Home Premium - Ultimate - Professinal, 32-64 bit), I tried all the possibilities.

    I asked Microsoft Community to give me assistance on the resettlement of the original operating system.

    They told me to say to my Toshiba problem, because only the manufacturer can wake the system, or reinstall the original OS.
    So now, I ask you for help.

    Greetings,
    Csaba

    Hello

    > Another thing: there is no recovery partition!
    Of course the previous owner has modified (formatted) HARD drive and the table partitions, and consequently, the recovery of partitions isn't available.

    The serial key you will find at the bottom of the unit does not have in relation to the clean Microsoft Windows operating system. He touches s an OEM and belongs to the Toshiba system preinstalled.

    If you want to get the original operating system preinstalled, you can order the recovery disk. The recovery disk would fix the laptop to factory condition.

    Here, you could get this disc:

  • HP Pavilion A4310F: Remove Windows 10 and reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium

    I did a full install of Windows 10 yesterday and I did not all records or documents as I saved them to my external hard drive.

    The problem that I ran was that my NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 has no update to win 10 and that it does not appear correctly.

    My computer came with Windows 7 Home premium installed and I have the product key.

    As I installed the full version on Windows 10, I can't get the computer to win 7.

    I don't have a Windows 7 disc, when I bought the computer, so I need to know if I can download a copy of the Windows 7 Home Premium somewhere and use my current product key?

    When the computer is again I did a set of recovery discs and I still have those... I don't know if they can help.

    Any help or advice would be very helpful.  A download link would be useful as well.

    Thank you in advace for your help.  Jim.

    Yes the disks you did will be reinstall W7, disc 1 is bootable, then put it in the drive and restart the PC, when you see the Dell logo ESC key several times, then select your boot (cd-dvd-rom) device, it should now boot from disc 1 and start the recovery process, it is a long process, so be patient and don't do anything unless otherwise , it will restart on its own several times, do not interrupt the process.

    When it is done with the recovery, there will be a screen to start to set up your user name and so on.

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10W: old software with Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hello

    First excuse my bad English, I'm french.

    A month ago, I bought an X 500 - 10W.

    I would like to re - install two old games that turned on my satellite M30-104 with windows Xp.

    I just can not install those on the Qosmio that works with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, even if I use the compatibility mode.

    Is there a way to make these ancient works of software?

    I found the virtual computer (for windows Xp mode), but it only works with Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate.

    Thanks for your replies.

    This with virtual PC is good idea and you should get the right version.
    I mean if you have games that are designed for Windows XP Home edition, then you know that this will not work on the new operating system to Win7.

    Best application virtualization for me without a doubt is VMware Workstation > http://www.vmware.com/

  • Elite 8000 small HP compaq for: windows 7 Home premium for HP x 64

    I had a HP slimline, running windows 7 Home premium for HP X 64.  Literally, he fried himself and am not able to get something from him.  Just read in terms of MS that all software purchased with the PC can be transferred by the same user to another computer.  I went on their site and told me I had to contact HP.  Now, I have the HP above with 10 windows and hate it.  I just want to download for Windows 7 so I can put it on my new PC.  I have the code from the old PC.

    Hello:

    You can transfer software from one PC to the other Microsoft retail.

    The sticker on your old PC that fried itself is an OEM operating system.

    Using a product key OEM on another PC is a violation of the Microsoft OEM license agreement.

  • Random BSOD - Toshiba Qosmio X 500 13R (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64) have min

    I had some problems with random BSOD on my laptop.
    The laptop itself is relatively new, bought in March of this year, very good model but refently that I started to have problems.

    One day I closed the laptop and reflections he entered mode 'sleep' but a few hours later, when I opened a BSOD looked at me in the face, the processor part was hot enough so I restarted immediately to lower the temperature, but I remember the BSOD had something "Kernel Power" written on it.

    It happened 3 - 4 times since then, the third time it happened that I enabled the logging minidump so now I also the log since the last time it happened, can someone take a look and tell me what is happening and how to fix it?

    I still have a warranty on this baby so I can get it fixed for free if it's a hardware problem, I still have some important work to do this week (already almost lost a crucial project file on it) so I want to try to fix it myself for now, until I get this project done.

    Thank you!!!

    The BSOD can be caused by a hardware problem software.
    You can check if the new OS install would solve this if this software issue then a new operating system installation is the good workaround. Before you start an OS install, back up data ;)

    But of course the question could be linked to the material; for example the high temperature.
    You said that you have noticed a higher temperature everything to happen.
    So maybe the memory modules are affected by a higher temperature, and this leads to BSOD. Often blocked fans are reason for this. Check to see if dust and debris must be removed you can remove the dust using a jet of compressed air.

    But if this is not enough, I'd recommend checking the material under conditions of warranty
