Acer Predator running win 8.1 that I want to upgrade to win 10. What recovery disc?

I have an installed two years with Win 8.1 old Acer predator. I want to upgrade to Win 10, but I'm concerned about what will happen if I get a hard drive at some point failure. Should I pay for another set of recovery disks? Or will I have to install Win 8 of the discs I have, then move to 8.1, and then to win 10?

If your HARD drive dies, you can use your recovery disk windows 8 and then switch to 10 without going through 8.1

but...

I can suggest an easy way.

You can create an image just system after the upgrade to windows 10, have your drivers updated to version 10 of windows and make sure that your system is stable.

After that, with the windows tool, you can create the system image on DVD or external HARD drive and use it to re - install your copy of windows 10 as you just improved.

http://www.CNET.com/how-to/how-to-create-a-system-image-in-Windows-10/

to use an image from windows system, you need a windows bootable 10 installation media but it's easy to get from microsoft:

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

Download the .iso file and burn it to a DVD.

then, at the end, you start from the DVD and choose repair your PC and select to load the image of the system.

  • I have XP and that you want to upgrade to XP Pro, but Windows will not let me.

    My office recently crashed and I replaced the windows XP home that came on the machine.  I also have a copy of XP Pro upgrade that I want to install because pro allows me to office remote host and does not House.  These are both legally purchased copies.  When I try to upgrade to pro it won't let me and warned me that the original desktop version is newer than the upgrade.  I don't like the age I want the features I paid for the upgrade.

    All solutions?

    1. determine what service pack is now installed (right click on desktop and select properties).  You must have service pack 3, but if you have recently reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition, you may have neglected to update at this point.

    2. either consider that if you have a CD for an earlier version of Windows (98, Me, 2000), you can do a "clean install" of XP Pro by booting from the CD-ROM to upgrade XP Pro and then insert the qualifying product CD when asked.

    3. If you want to 'upgrade' to protect the applications and data already installed on XP Home, first back up your data (just in case).  As indicated in the error message, your upgrade installation CD must be equal or superior to your current installation of XP Home service pack level.  Compare the service pack level of your installation of XP Home (see 1 above) and the level of service pack of your XP Pro installation CD.  Then create a CD slipstreamed that combines the real CD XP Pro you have with the correct service pack.  There are many instructions for this on the web.  See http://lmgtfy.com/?q=slipstream+xp

    I suggest that you use nLite (see the first hit in Google search above).

    If your XP CD Pro has NO service pack, you must first integrate the SP2 and then sp3 wake in this.

    If your CD of XP Pro at service pack 1 or 2, you can integrate service pack 3 (for example, you can go from 1 to 3 without add 2).

    Download the file from the service pack 3 Setup here--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

    If necessary, download the file from the service pack 2 installer here--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28

    I paid for Adobe Acrobat Pro to 29 days (30 days trial). It won't work now. It says that I have to pay again. What is the problem?

    The trial version is free to use for 30 days. You don't have to pay to use the trial software.

    Once 30 days have been completed, you will get a prompt for the purchase of the subscription.

    I got this laptop in order to fix it, but all I was told was that before she gave them a message when they started to the top of the machine, he said something about the cd rom is full and cannot accept more information.  But when I received it, I don't have any information like that. They gave me the Toshiba Recovery and Applications/drivers DVD Satellite A100/A105 Series.
    I put the disc in, started the F-12 PC clicked selected CD/DVD, recovery of factory default software selected and started. But am some type of error that it could not go on, I do not pay attention to her, then he ran this time to check the system for failures and just try to restore but could not go beyond fixing or restore. So my plan was just to reformat and reinstall with a clean install, because I got the thumb before you go and delete all.

    I put the Windows 7 installation cd and comes to a window with the title "Windows Installer" (the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error.) Windows Setup cannot continue. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer and then restart the installation.) I click on OK, then he said: Please wait while windows is set up your computer and from here, it gets to the windows blue screen light pet that allows windows, and then starts at the beginning of the boot where it shows Toshiba and you can click on F - 2 for the installation or the F-12 utility, looks like it starts with windows and its animation scroll down with the black screen and then it loops to always with the same Windows "Windows Installer" message.
    I tried to switch to F - 2 and set the bios to where it should start with the cd/dvd.
    I tried to go to safe mode, but I get the same message.
    I tried to go into safe mode with networking
    I tried to go into safe mode with command prompt

    I tried to disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
    I tried the last known good configuration
    I tried to disable the Driver Signature Enforcement

    After going to safe mode, it happens with title "Windows Installer" window (Windows cannot complete the installation in Mode without failure. To continue installing Windows, restart the computer.) And then it begins the infamous loop.

    I placed then all windows 7 content on the USB and set the boot sequence to start with the USB, but received the same error.

    I tried again to go to safe mode, and once I got the error I have Shift and F-10.

    There is no other devices cannot connect to this computer.
    When you go to the Device Manager it shows the error of conflict on my graphics card, but I know it's because I turn it off, but it also shows on my network card and the video card.

    Now, I'd be happy if I could just format the c: drive and get something installed, even Windows XP.

    Totally, I would appreciate if I can get any help on this.

    If you are not getting paid for it, you may want to have the owner that the equipment tested.  I doubt that all this is due to software on a recovery disc or Windows installation disk.  The prime suspect is the optical drive.  If clean you and problems persist then the unit needs a clean bill of health.

    Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon. If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.

  • How can I fix acer 5720G running vista that won't start?

    My wife stop down as always. The next time I went to use my laptop, it would not initialize but went into a loop instead. I have no cd/dvd backup. In my view, that the backup is located on a partition. I can't access it. I tried a lot of things in the last 2 months without result. I installed ubuntu to access the hard drive to remove all the important files.
    What can I do?

    Hello

    1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    If that does not read this information

    the link below is how to download and get a vista disk startup repair, which you can start from the

    And make sure you only set the CD/DVD drive to be 1st in the boot order to boot from the drive that you have just made

    to boot from the dvd drive to be able to you will see a way to get into the bios Setup at the bottom of the screen or command menu start

    and if all else fails and you need to reinstall vista are the normal methods for computers preinstalled vista portable

    Contact Acer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought it because you do not have a disc

    You should have a hidden in an Acer recovery partition

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    Acer is normally Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process

  • Acer Predator 17 SSD G9-792-75ZT error

    Hi everyone I recently bought an acer predator 17 in one of the local stores from the Philippines last October 5, 2016. Overall, the quality is excellent and it works what is said. I have some of my favorite and need games apps installed in the computer, but after that, the system keeps on crashing. I tried to restore from the previous version until it becomes completely unaccesible.

    I tried to run the reset in the system recovery but the samsung mzvpv256hdgl-00000 256 gb SSD was locked. I tried to remove the volume completely and reinstall the partition. He worked a few times, but it's really unacessible even after that. I tried to copy some files, reinstall windows, but it says incorrect function. I can't open the disc itself, because of the warranty.

    I also noticed that after anything in the ssd, it will disappear causing my laptop to slow down. the news of controller and lun was also is not found even in the "diskpart" command What do you think is the cause and the solution to this?

    Symptoms:

    1. the material can be recognized in the bios (inconsistent).

    2 do you have a reformat using the administrative tools

    3 reset the bios AHCI, RAID and LEGACY UEFI

    4. the path of the controller is not located (value 0)

    5. currently installed windows hard disk

    6. After reformatting or copy a file, the hard drive no longer not recognized except restart.

    7. I just installed vlc, DBMS, sibelius, steam and dota 2 once it crashed.

    8. currently, SSD is completely reformatted but still can not 'normally' access'

    9 used dedicated nvme samsung for SM951 driver, but still the same thing

    I currently work as sailor so coming back to the manufacturer is not easy. Is it possible that they can change the right ssd if the found it defective? I mean in this day there also because given the nature of my work. We do not stay in a country long.

    Thanks for all those who who' the response. Good day.

    This is a strange behavior.

    I suggest that you contact Acer Center support in your area from your laptop of predator is under warranty as you said that you just bought. You must contact them to find out how long it would take to repair or where bring or send the laptop.

  • How to set the function key that you want to run at startup?

    Hello
    I have a problem until I realized that the special function working keys such as high brightness down
    but now, you must open the application feature keys to make it work. I tried the bios settings, but it wasn't the problem. I think the question is how can I get the program feature keys to run at startup.

    Also another problem, I noticed that my display setting is a bit. I tried calibration using the default windows application, but my only question is that when I get to the step of contrast, everything I do is brightness adjustment and nothing else is there another keyboard button on the device that I can use, rather than the keys of brightness, change contrast?

    Thanks I know I had a handful.

    I put t know which model of laptop and what OS you use and I assume that you are writing about the key features of FN and maps flash, right?

    By default, Toshiba flash cards must start with Windows and must be enabled in the boot options.
    If you want to check this option start run (Win + R key), put msconfig and click OK.
    When the configuration of the system is open, go to the Startup tab and check if there is a check mark before Toshiba Flash cards. If it isn't put there and confirm with OK.

    This problem with the display is really strange to me. If you use the right display driver everything should be OK and he didn't need a calibration or anything else.
    When you have bought this laptop and started to use it were there, everything is OK with the display? I think so.

    Your laptop factory settings or you use clean install of the OS?

  • Can I Exchange an old HD XP to my new HD running Win 7? I need to recover data

    Hello

    I have an old m10560y of HP Media Center PC with a PJ751AV 160 G hard drive SATA 7200 RPM, which I removed because the motherboard is damaged. I was running Win XP on this machine. I only need to retrieve data on this drive... not going to use it with the new HD (below)

    I currently have an HP Pavilion Elite e9150t by the following:

    Windows 7

    10G RAM

    AVO47AV 750 G 7200 RPM SATA 3G 8 / S HD

    Model #: e9150t
    Product #: NY810AV-ABA
    Software Build #: 93NAv6PcA5
    Service ID #: 110-811
    PCBRAND: Pavilion

    I want to disconnect the existing 750 G HD (Win 7), plug the HD 160 G (Win XP), retreve data on an external hard drive and then plug the HD 750 G and be on my merry way.

    Can I do this?

    Will there be a problem running the old HD 160 G because it works under XP or it will be plug and play?

    If connected to a USB port, so no, the computer should detect Windows on the internal disk and boot off that. Not all models have motherboards that can even allow the boot off the USB connections. You should be fine. Even if it does not, simply unplug the USB cable before entering Windows and then plug it to the top.

  • SMBus and usb drivers for Pavilion P6-2312ea running Win 7 x 64 3

    Hello

    My step daughter has finally threw his arms up in the air and agreed that win 8 is more pain on a desktop that is worthwhile and is not for her.

    We have installed Windows 7 64 bit and are now just trying to find the compatible drivers for SM Bus controller and usb 3.0.

    I'm assuming that the drivers for usb 3.0 as the keyboard and mouse are ok, just the 2 front usb 3.0 do not work (although that seemed to have given up after a week).

    We executed the 'original' pilots when he was running Win 8 x 64, but they don't seem to have. Maybe a compatibility problem, can be me as it was very early this morning when I gave up for a while.

  • Acer Predator G9-792-77 K 4 issue

    Hello!

    I really need help guys (I would like a response from acer)

    I'm having some problems with Acer Predator G9-792-77 K 4

    In Windows 10 when I press the icon for notifications and try to activate Tablet he mode or bluetooth and I move my mouse to this button... .can be seen a mouse lag... I tried to watch a youtube video, and while I watch, to press them... and video accuses even.

    I know it's not important, but this mouse lag which makes some of my games freeze randomly.

    I sent the laptop to Acer serving, but they have not found something... they just changed to SSD, but that has not solved the problem.

    As if I disable Intel HD 530 or Nvidia gtx 970 m from the Device Manager, I saw this thing does not happen.

    So I tried to find the other drivers but was useless.

    So... is a hardware, drivers or Windows 10 problem?

    Sorry for the bad English.

    Thank you!

    I think at this point, it is best to contact Acer customer service again.

    If you want to try one last thing, Device Manager, uninstall the Intel HD530 device and choose to uninstall the software too, reboot and let windows to re - install the driver.

  • Acer Predator G3-710 GTX 1070 overheating

    Hey guys

    So I have an acer Predator G3-710

    • Intel Core i5-6400
    • 8 GB RAM
    • GTX 1070

    But it keeps overheating when im playing games on ultra high heat. And since there were "IceTunnel thermal system" theres no fans in the enclosure.

    A fan will simply solve this problem? The poor obvisoly can't get enough air. So her dosent system thermal iceTunnel seem to work now

    If the case has a place to install a fan, you can buy a fan that uses a molex connector for power.  But it will be always on except if you buy one with an on/off switch.  Temp could lower a bit.

    Try to use the Geforce experience to optimize your game settings.
