Activation questions Win 8.1 on Satellite Pro C850-1EQ after upgrade

Hello everyone!

I face a problem after the upgrade of my TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C850-1EQ preinstalled version of windows 8 to 8.1.

After installation windows ask the product key to activate windows 8.1, but I don't have this activation key.

I called Microsoft (Greece), but could not help me and told me to call Toshiba (Greece).
The man of Toshiba technical support told me to remind Microsoft!

In addition, he told me to check here (https://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/) before starting the process. Step # 7 says "don't forget your Windows password. You may need to enter after update. »

Now, I'm back to Win 8.

Is there a way to learn my activation key before installation of w8.1?
I tried to find that the use of various tools, but nobody found the key.
In addition, after 8.1 install, a message says:

+ Error code: 0xC004C003 +.
+ The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked.

I trust Toshiba and I want to use the latest version of w8.1.
I'd be grateful if someone Toshiba technician could help me with this problem.

No, the preinstalled Windows 8 Toshiba is already activated and during the upgrade to 8.1 Win will not ask you to enter the serial key...

Windows 8 is activated?

Try this: create DVDs of Toshiba Recovery (or flash USB memory stick). Use the recovery media to recover the computer laptop back to factory settings. Update of the Windows 8 at the last State and then do the upgrade to 8.1 Win

    Hello.

    Have ordered a Seagate Momentus 7200.02 200 GB SATA-300 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 "for my Satellite Pro A200GE - 26. Toshiba slow disk with this laptop ships is simply not fast enough so it is replaced.

    My question is this: can I use the recovery disc of the DVD came with my laptop to reinstall Vista and all the Toshiba drivers on this new album?

    If this is not the case-how can I do?

    If I can do it - could you give me a checklist of things to do?
    Are several factors I need to get used to exist on the recovery disk?

    I ask this because I know how to do this on a PC with the Original OS disc, but I was horrified when my laptop has been delivered and no original OS disk - I think it's very bad for any help would be accepted with gratitude.

    Thank you in advance,

    Kenny.

    Hello

    You should not worry about the whole procedure, just install the HARD drive, put the recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive, press F12 and start with your CD drive or just press 'C' (which automatically inserted CD, boots).

    The recovery is not limited to a specific HARD disk, it automatically adjusts the size of the partition and install EVERTHING on your disk as a preinstalled OS shipped directly from the factory. Don t you need some additional drivers or software, the only thing you need to do is to copy your personal data on the system drive and customize your windows.

    It is the intention of recovery media: put it in and it does everything by itself.

    That's all. :)

  • WLAN on Satellite Pro L770-12R after upgrade to Windows 10 has lost

    OK, first of all, I must admit that I know very little about computers so be gentle!

    I have some cleaning on my laptop and uninstall programs I didn't need. All of a sudden my WiFi stopped working and there is no wireless option when I try to connect to the internet, it shows just connect using a cable. I guess that means that I accidentally uninstalled some software required to connect to the wireless internet.

    How can I get it back? Thank you!

  • Satellite Pro C850-1EQ - 8 tiles Windows does not work

    Hello

    I'm desperate for help try to solve this problem with my laptop. When I got my laptop (at Christmas) the majority of the tiles on the home screen windows 8 worked, however after a week or two they have gradually stopped working, which is very frustrating.

    When I click on a tile, it opens on the screen but the wheel continues to turn and nothing loads. I spoke to Microsoft online, however, they said that the problem with Toshiba as the laptop was purchased with Windows 8 already integrated.

    Suggestions, they did involving anti-virus and updates did not work.
    The most frustrating part is the Windows tile store does not work so I can't try to updates or new downloads to see if they will not solve the problem.

    Of course, I can use my laptop without the tiles, but I'm upset that I paid extra for Windows 8 and chooses the best part of it not working!

    Any advice on what to do next would be great, thanks in advance.

    Guess what? Try to restore the system Windows 8 back to the factory settings.
    Here you will find documentation how to do this:

  • Satellite Pro C850 - 1 M - update to Win 8.1 fails - error 0xC1900101 - 0 x 30018

    Hi all

    bought a new satellite Pro C850-1MX (PSCBZE 00M009GR) in December 2013. System works virtually unchanged to the State of delivery. Yet installed OpenOffice and Firefox, AdobeReader in most actual versions. And a updated driver for AMD GPUS to the latest version. No other changes made.

    Now I tried to upgrade to 8.1 via Windows-App-Store Windows. Download was made, run, reboot, installation of changes, preparation of devices--> restart, rollback to 8.0 with 0xC1900101 - 0 x 30018 error code upgrade.

    Searched internet solutions: Toshiba ISC
    -updated all the components Toshiba via TOSHIBA Service Station--> fact
    -(Lien: [http://www.toshiba.de/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/]): uninstall some components: esp. LAN/WLAN-driver.

    Hmmm... If I do I can't access to Windows App-Store to re-run the upgrade because I have no connection to the network. Stupid...

    -Why I'm updating a nearly unchanged system due to some driver-inflicted where I has not changed anything of the delivery status of can´t?

    Please indicate any tip/solution. Thank you!

    This error message appears because of some incompatible drivers and tools that are already pre-installed on Windows 8.

    I own a C850-1 gr (PSCBXE), which comes with Win8.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Your order of installation of drivers contains the Intel WLan driver.
    But the laptop Satellite Pro C850-1 GR was equipped with the Realtek RTL8723AE WLan/BT combo card.

    I think that you need to uninstall the Realtek WLan driver and WLan Intel driver.
    In addition, you must pay attention to the functionality of BT.

    The card is compatible with the BT and you need to install the driver Package Realtek Bluetooth filter before installing the battery Toshiba BT.

    In addition, do not forget that this WLan adapter is enabled by using the FN + F12 (or just the F12)

    Finally and above all do not forget WHAT BIOS the dafault value

  • Satellite Pro C850 - strange problem with LAN connection

    Hello world

    I just signed up on this forum because I hope you guys can help me with a really strange problem.

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro C850-1MX
    It came with Win8, but given that I don't really like Win8, I bought an additional Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) license and installed on the laptop.

    The problem I describe, also arrived on 8 to win, which makes it even more strange.

    As soon as I connect a cable to the RJ-45 port, Windows tells me, that the LAN connection is not connected.
    As soon as I unplug the cable, Windows starts looking for a network and actually found one!

    So, the only way to connect to my LAN cable is... I have activate the LAN connection, wait that it detects a network (without the cable connected!) and meanwhile to connect the cable to the network port.
    Now... If I disconnect the cable once again, Windows still shows its connected.

    I must say, that I am a Director of professional network for more than 10 years now, so I should know my systems, but this never happened to me before. Event log shows nothing, re-installing drivers did nothing either. IM quite confused here and I hope you guys can help me.

    Thanks for reading, and let me know if you need any additional info!

    Greetings from the Germany,
    Sandro

    Hello Sandro,

    To be honest I confused m.

    I would try to start talking about the drivers installed, since you changed the system for Win 7.
    All the network devices, such as card WLan and LAN card are properly recognized in Device Manager?

    As I m not wrong not the laptop was equipped with a network card Realtek-8111F (1000BASE-T/100Base-TX/10Base-T) and WLan RTL8723AE Realtek b/g/n card.
    If both should appear in the device properly Manager if you have installed the drivers correctly.

    2nd question:
    You said:
    > As soon as I unplug the cable, Windows starts looking for a network and actually found one!
    Are you sure that you speak of LAN and WLAN?
    For me it made no further since. If the network cable is unplugged, the notebook would connect to the WLan where WiFi is enabled.

    It seems that this opinion is not from Microsoft staff, but some users of the forum.
    You should know that the drivers of keyboard (developed by Microsoft) are still part of the Windows System. Any Windows OS you use, the keyboard driver would be always installed as part of the OS. This means that the drivers of special keyboard DON T exist but system uses own driver...

    You can check the functionality of the keyboard in USB external keyboard.
    If external keyboard works properly, the internal keyboard is malfunctioning and must be replaced.

    If the external keyboard does not work properly too, then I recommend you to recover the laptop using Toshiba HDD recovery. Otherwise, there could be question of motherboard (keyboard controller).

  • Satellite Pro C850 - how to activate 'Numlock' on startup

    Hi all

    No one knows how you can activate the "Numlock" key to start the laptop.

    Concern: Satellite Pro C850 - 1LN

    I look in the BIOS (6.70) > advanced... but find nothing
    I am also looking Windows 8.1, but also without success.

    Any idea to help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Marc

    Hi Marc

    As much as I know there is no certain special option to turn on the num lock and you can not define is as default to be always enabled. Extra keypad on the keyboard is designed for use with different applications such as Office Excel and allow you an entry comfortable numbers in some document.

    On my laptop (P500), I noticed that when I turn off laptop with active NumLock will be on next start so let is all the TIME.

    is there a permanent solution to this problem?

    This is not something to do with installed programs is not something to do with the browser settings.
    restarting the computer works in a short time, but that is a long time, it's really annoying because I use this for work and study!

    > is there a permanent solution to this problem?

    The question is what causes this problem? Is it related hardware or software related issue?

    Why n t connect a USB keyboard just to check if the same would happen?

    In case the USB keyboard would work fine, I guess that the internal keyboard failures and the solution would be a simple replacement of the defective part.
