• Alienware Aurora R4 Windows 10 help

  Then, I woke up today to realize that Windows 10 mysteriously installed on my R4 Aurora without my consent, so whatever. In any case, so far, has been correct, but I have 1 question that I can't just understand how to fix after several hours of troubleshooting and research on.

  Weird behavior with my PC when close and turn on/off. When turned on, the lights that are on top of the PC take a white color for a few seconds before starting the system. I have not had this happen before but wanted to know if it is a question. Second, when closing, the vents on top of the PC not close like they used to. I tried to jump the CMOS, but it did not help this problem at all.

  If you have the time, I would like to know how you guys overcame these problems if they were present on your machines as well.

• Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

  Hello

  I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

  But then I received the same error.

  Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

  But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

  Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

  So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

  2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

  3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

  4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

  5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

  diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

  This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

  6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

  7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

  8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

  9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.

• I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install Windows 7

  HP ENVY m6-1125dx Notebook PC

  My laptop came with Windows 8. I really don't like Windows 8, it is too restrictive. I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install Windows 7. How to go? Where can I get the operating system and driver software.

  Should I buy Windows 7 separately? Or can I use the same key?

  Before installing Windows 7, can I suggest an idea?

  I had the same problem: I'm a Windows 7 user who bought a laptop Windows 8 and don't really like the Metro user interface. It is half cooked for desktop/laptop computer, several apps to not scroll horizontally with the touchpad, etc, etc.

  But what I did install a simple program called "Debut8" (http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/) that still allows me to go right at the part 8 Windows desktop and use it as I have Windows 7. The advantage of this approach is that you get the benefits of the internal improvement of Windows 8 (some improvements in performance on Windows 7, etc.) and do not have the hassle/cost of installing Windows 7. You can also try a GPL program called Classic Shell (http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/). So far I am happy with debut8 as a solution.

  Anyway, worth before going through the cost and difficulty of installing Windows 7.

  Hello
  Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
   
  By design, the game is not compatible with windows7.
   
  You can also check with the manufacturer of game for any version upgrade of this game, which could be compatible with windows7.

  Yes, if you have the dual operating system on your computer, you can play and record games on xp, start the computer in Xp and you can play the game.

  I also invite you to visit this link to learn more about running the old programs/games in xp or vista compatibility mode.

  Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

  You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
  If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.
