Can satellite P500 - I have a free Windows 7 upgrade?

I wanted to just ask you questions about the free upgrade to Windows 7. Come to buy a Satellite P500 here in Australia, and if all goes well it will be delivered to me before Christmas.

It says here on the Web site of toshiba all machines toshiba purchased in June 2009 to January 31, 2009 can have a free upgrade to windows 7, is this correct? Because I ordered my Satellite P500 and it is said that the model I purchased is not included for the upgrade. Can anyone confirm who is who?

I hope I could get the free update. Thank you.

Hello

Who says your model isn't included for upgrade?

    Hello

    Counter question: why you want to use any other display drivers? Are not satisfied with the drivers of Toshiba or can you notice problems in Windows?

    Theoretically, it is possible to use the nVidia drivers directly but don t forget that they are not pre-tested on your laptop. Your graphics card could be overheating and so you lose the warranty.

    Satellite P500 is fairly new, so I guess that Toshiba updates the display driver in next time too. Take a look at the page from time to time. ;)

  • How can satellite P500-024 - I do a new partition with full disk space?

    Hello

    I just bought the Satellite P500-024 and it came with 640 GB HARD drive.

    I just found when clicking on * my computer * which is the HARD drive is cut to the drive C: and D: drive. How can I add the D drive half of the HARD drive on the C: drive of priority so there because I then a full accese 640GO HDD in a chase without cutting 50-50?

    The reason why I ask this is because I noticed when I turn on the laptop it takes ages and maybe a bit slower due to the fact that it is half of the hard drive on drive C. So I want to know how it is easy to add them together into one so that I can get fast and pure to my new Satellite P500-024 performance.

    Thank you.

    Hi tagvic!

    First of all I must say that the two partitions have nothing to do with the slow start procedure on your laptop. Your laptop will be no faster if I you have only one partition, made it s! In addition, the second partition is required for Toshiba HDD recovery option. You know about it?

    HARD drive recovery option is really nice. You can restore factory in a few minutes. For it pour l' utiliser use go from the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then, you can select this option and follow the instructions on the screen. The first partition will be deleted, and after that it will have installed an image of factory settings. This means that you return to the same state that you started the laptop, the first time. The operating system preinstalled with already all the drivers and tools are installed.

    In my view, there is another reason for the slow start to the top. You should try to remove Toshiba Tempro. On my computer it causes a slow start too, and after removing the laptop started much faster.
    I can also recommend you to clean the system using CCleaner and defragment the HARD drive. Removal of startup programs folder that you don't need and try another program like AntiVir AntiVirus.

    I hope I could help a bit.

  • Satellite P500 a bad performance in windows 7

    I have a satellite P500, model No. PSPE8C-026006 for 3 years. Core 2 Quad Q9000 @ 2.00 GHz, 2.00 Ghz, 6 GB Ram, 1 TB HD.64 bit windows 7 OS. Even if it is 3 years old, it is still decent Spec

    This laptop is preforming really kicking up. It took 10 minutes to boot and load all startup programs. I understand that there are many programs of preloading of Toshiba. I have disabled many of them, the situation does not improve. Later, I reformatted the laptop and reinstall windows 7, didn't install any program from Toshiba, situation still not improving that much.

    Once launched. It is quite slow to open applications. It preforms as memory is not sufficient, as the latest version of Windows running on a really old computer. Sometimes it randomly freezes for a few seconds while watching videos or playing games.

    many times, windows 7 freezes while I download. I Force shutdown, then restart the computer. Check with Microsoft, stil could not determine if it is a hardware or software problem.

    We have another laptop with a lot less specs (Core 2 duo @1.5 Ghz, 3 GB ram). fact the exact comparison even scenario. running much faster and smoonth than the P500. two laptops have the exact version of windows 7 home on. things simply not adding up

    I tried to reformat the HD, reinstall windows 7, upgrading the BIOS, remove any program on star system upward. Nothing really effective. Help, please

    Hello

    I have the same machine and use it daily. To be honest, I agree with you: it's not the fastest machine but solid multimedia notebook. A few months ago I ve decided to tune up.
    The first step has been upgraded RAM so I ve upgraded to max level. It was a little better, but I was not so happy. Friend of mine told me I should upgrade/Exchange SSD HARD drive so I ordered one.

    After Exchange SSD, I was really surprised how fast Mobile runs. It load Windows in just 35 seconds and open all applications in a few seconds. Everything runs very fast so if you want to have great P500 RAM upgrade and use SSDS. Believe me you will be happy with your machine.

    To be honest, I really like P500 and it is for me very nice machine of Toshiba. I wouldn't go for a newer model.

    What do you think of all this?
