Can I upgrade to Windows7 and put an end to these problems?
I'm having problems
Started by being told I had a non-legit Windows version: I fixed that by phone. Thank you.
Now, I can't launch the suite Windows Office, I downloaded. I can not open system properties to find out if I am running 32 or 64 bit, nor can I run the program that you have created to determine if my laptop Toshiba running Vista bought late 2008 is suitable for upgrading to Windows 7. I can't go running back to my Vista installation disc: lost my Vista DVD and product key (paper!) on the bottom of my laptop is degraded to the point of illegibility. So I think I need to invest in Windows 7 or to throw the thing out the window.
Tosh can only provide the recovery cd and only they can provide the key.
If you have reinstalled previously using your recovery CD then Belarc Advisor or MagicJellyBean will reveal the key (NB only if you reinstalled)
If you visit the web site of Tosh, for your specific model you'd see if win7 drivers are avilable, and which was probably installed origonally. Or there could be information specific to the win7 compatibility
If you have downloaded an Office suite and has failed to pay extra for the cd/dvd I hope you saved the installation file on external media, as well as the key office
As it is it sounds if your Vista installation is compromised in some way

I lost at the age of Mythology the titans expansion disc, but I still have key code, is there a way I can download age of mythology and put the key in to make it work?
Hi mxbot221,
It is very unfortunate to know that you have lost the game disc. It is indeed a nice game that requires precision and work of the spirit.
But the good thing is that you can download the demo version of the game among the links below and then, can enter the product key to unlock all its features.
Here are the links: 1) http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/titans.aspx
2) http://www.microsoft.com/games/titans/downloads.aspx
In addition, you can try to contact the Microsoft Supplemental Parts team for a replacement CD. To locate the phone number, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh; EN-US; CNTACTMS
Ref: How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and upgrades, and replace product http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246 manuals

Hope this information was useful.

How can I upgrade my PROCESSOR and RAM
Hello, I use a HP Compaq Presario CQ43. There with APU AMD E-450 with Radeon HD graphics card and 2.0 GB of RAM. My question is can I upgrade my processor and RAM 4 GB because I want to play games. If Ican please tell me how? Please help me.
Your Service Manual:
You already have the best processor that can fit on your motherboard which is an AMD version. Theoretically, you can go with a card mother Intel and processor, but that would cost a lot of money (more than a new laptop) and give only slightly better graphics. not yet for the games. To be explicit, the graphics 'card' are not a card, but a single chip directly soldered on the motherboard and cannot be removed, replaced, improved or anything of the sort.
The slightly good news is that you can install up to 8 GB of memory... is the DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM. That will boost the overall performance, but still not make a game by a long shot machine.

Can I upgrade the memory and the graphics card on Satellite A60
Hi all..
I have a satellite a60 652.
I want to improve it with new ram and graficcard.
can I use more than 1, 5 GB of ram? later with an update of the bios?
and if I can change the graficcard? If the answer is Yes... What is the best card I can actually use?
or is there a map which is almost a geforce 7600 or 6600 (or ati 9700) I can use?Thank you for the help
IngoPS excuse my English ;)
> I want to upgrade the ram and the new graphics card
Upgrading RAM is possible but the graphics card is unable to be updated!
If you want to upgrade the memory you could update to 1536 MB max.
The A60 supports 512MB internal memory and it is so that one memory slot where the extra RAM module can be inserted.These modules are compatible:
PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)Concerning

Hello
I am model using Vaio VPCEA16FG since I much of desigining graphic and programming of work in my vaio can I upgrade RAM 16 GB and 1 TB HARD drive?
Thanks in advance,
Joseph
baudson,
I can't comment directly on your device (VPCEA16FG) because this isn't an American model, but it is very similar to the series of VPCEA2xx which, according to the spec, can take up to 8 GB ram (DDR3/1 066 MHz). The hard drive is a SATA probably accommodating a 1 TB drive, but our repair manuals has the largest size being 640GO for this series...

a Compaq Presario C300 can be upgraded to accept and work with at least Win7 please.
Hello
I'm a complete newbie to this, and being a wrinkled, according to my grandchildren I wouldn't bother! Ive never done anything like this before, it's to ask, I mean, even less to try to improve my laptop.
Anyway, having just started University I find my laptop, like me, is a little too long in the tooth to work properly!
So, not being able to go out and buy a new laptop decided whether my only existing can be adjusted (I think the term I use is upgraded).
He currently works on Win XP and Ive been told to dive into and out of the College Web site, I MUST have a minimum of Win 7. This is why I need to know: -.
(1) IF my laptop computer motherboard is capable of running Win 7?
(2) if not, can I replace the card mother towards something that's going to Win 7 or younger AND for not a huge sum of money?
(3) I am also aware that my laptop will have more memory, a minimum of 2 GB and now I have only 1, or to be more precise, it indicates "980 MHz, 0.99 GB of RAM. So, the motherboard, I have more memory accepts even if it runs on Win 7?
To be honest, I am lost and don't know who I should looking for first, extra memory, or know if the existing motherboard will accept and run Win 7
Yes, all that being said, is there anyone out there who is willing to help and advise an old wrinkled who desperately wants to get on with my college courses, BUT requires the use of a reliable laptop. I was informed the College that I shouldn't BE doing any online banking just using Win XP, unfortunately, I've disabled had been doing that exact thing! Oops, not tho.
Still, I'm looking for a kind person to REALLY help me please.
Thank you

Hi Paul
Yes I saw also that the Starter Edition is available with new machines, or for the people who built them BUT, I thought you should know something different and I kept a version - source didn't happen tho.
I also found myself a copy of the interview Guide & Service even for the C300 series, but thank you when even, it would have been helpful if I had been able to move forward.
To be effort, ALL of your time and honest, I think I'm in a stale mate situation and feel really Crest fallen on this subject.
Unfortunately, since the beginning of this last series of spinal surgeries, my finances have taken a battering shots and, I think that I mentioned earlier, I have 'manage' on State benefits and unfortunately that does not take into account the upgrade than the pc.
Mind you, the job Centre are all in favor of people making different training in the Community (just to juggle with numbers) and all necessary work typed upward. Yes, unless you have your own pc, which in my opinion, there are still many people who are NOT, you must go to your library more relative, who since declared disabled, is just not something I can do easily.
Anyway, enough of the history of sobbing! I appreciate your EFFORTS to help me solve this problem, I guess it's now tho not in the sense that I was hoping.
Being new to this, Im not very well how to end the conversation, I'll give it a go by clicking on accept the solution - or something similar in the hope that this close. Am I right in thinking if I click on BRAVO this gives your help somesort aside, I'll also try clicking on it also.
Please note however that, if these last two clicks do not work, I am very moved by your willingness to help a total stranger, I congratulate you for that and there are a lot more people as you wish. Thank you
