I posted this in another section, silly me has not looked through all categories before posting. SORRY!

Hi all...

I have ordered an A350-20s, (4gig RAM, T6400) and want to remove Vista to replace with Windows 7 but have some questions.

1, should I go for 32-bit or 64-bit?
2 if I go for 64-bit, that I need to update the BIOS?
3, I had a quick glance at the download page, I was wondering if the drivers and BIOS for Vista will be allowed to use for Windows 7?

Please contact your opinions.

Thanks in advance.

1. definitely 64 bit, since 32-bit does not accept the full capacity of RAM you have.

2. no update necessary BIOS.

3. you only need to update your BIOS if your computer is having problems. Since your laptop is new, it will probably be the latest BIOS in any case.

    Hello

    I have a problem with the speakers on the Toshiba Satllite A350-20s. When I turn the sound on all I get is a crackling sound with a very high-pitched. Seems to get by if I plug in external speakers but one have a similar problem if I plug in a microphone. Thin K that could be linked to the microphone on the chicony webcam works do not.

    I've upgraded to windows 7, shortly after obtaining the laptop and so far have tried to download the new drivers for the web cam, but this does not seem to have helped.

    Any ideas or advice more than welcome!

  • Can I save Firefox on a drive and install on another tour of Windows 7?

    I can't go online with IE8 on the other computer windows 7 because that is blocked to all pages, but the activation of Comcast page navigation, and everything has been activated. I want to save Firefox on a drive and install it on that screwed up and then disable access to IE8. How do I do that?

    I tried to disable the firewall and change the security settings on Windows 7 system, but nothing works. It won't let me change the homepage, search or go to the Firefox download page, all navigation is blocked, citing invalid certificates. I tried to get around this, but it does not work.

    This tower has Windows 8.1 on it and connects to the Internet with Firefox, though, and I can't find how to navigate because it rejects files that would work on the other because of the automatic detection of settings.
    Thank you

    You can (although I would like to use a USB stick rather than burn them on a disc).

    • Navigate to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and save the copy of Firefox that applies to you.
    • Move it to a USB
    • Take this to your computer and install it
    • If you are having problems with the activation of Comcast page, please call.
  • Adding a second HDD internal on a Satellite A350-20s

    I have a Satellite A350-20s.
    It is described in literature as having the possibility of adding an internal hard drive 2 "5 second and indeed it is a spot reserved for him...

    The problem is that when I remove the cover to insert the hard drive there is no connector.

    So, how to do?

    Hello

    Some of the units can be updated with a second HDD Satellite A350 and other laptop models. But this means that NOT all laptops offer the opportunity to upgrade
    There are different A350 with different hardware specifications
    All mobile phones support the same substantive coverage but not all motherboard supports a second HARD disk controller and the connectors.

    Your A350 cannot be upgraded with a second HDD due to the different motherboard and the missing HARD drive controller.

    Hi UKuser7,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    Automatic logon is disabled in Windows 7 by default for security reasons. If it is enabled, anyone who can physically access the computer can also gain access to everything on the computer, including the networks that it is connected.

    This setting is only recommended for cases where the computer is physically secure.

    To set up Windows 7 to connect to the desktop automatically, follow the steps below.

    1) click Start , and then enter the following command in the start search box:

    Netplwiz

    2) press ENTER.

    This opens the Advanced user accounts Control Panel window.

    (3) in the users tab, uncheck the box next to users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    4) click apply at the bottom of the user accounts window.

    (5) when the newspaper automatically on the dialog box appears, enter the user name for which you want to automatically connect to Windows 7. Then enter your password in the two areas where it is requested.

    6) click on the OK button.

    7) click OK in the window user accounts to complete the process.

    Thereafter, your PC at startup, Windows 7 will be automatically connect.

    Ticket back for your comments and concerns.

    Kind regards
