• Clean install of Windows a lot faster than the preinstalled system?

  My satallite comes with windows 64-bit installed.
  Since a lot of people suggested, here and elsehwere, a clean installation making consierably faster than the pre-installed windows (all bloated and unwanted software uninstalled with the uninstall program).

  Although fresh installtion was faster without drivers and programs, it has become more or less the same after installation of all software, etc. (perhaps a difference of 2 to 4% in the use of RAM) (over 4 GB)

  Is this normal or do others go much faster on any new install, for me, this effort has proved there is not a lot of use to do a clean install to drive retail.

  Ideas, wiers and feed back?

  Many pre-installed utilities are required for correct functionality and it can be a headache get these functions to work after installing a street copy of Windows.

  You will find that when you install Antivirus software on a street copy of Windows, it will happen similar to the pre-installed Windows installation. So if you want that the installation of Windows pre-installed perform better, uninstall the Antivirus should do the trick.

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I loaded the value Toshiba driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or press FN to work.

  Any ideas?

  Hi taxwiz,.

  I think that the forum already contains hundreds of discussions about this so why you n t use the forum search?

  Anyway, you need the latest version of Toshiba Value added Package and utility Support Flash Cards.
  Try to also restart Toshiba Flash Cards (start > all programs > Toshiba) and repeatedly press the FN keys.

• HP MIni 210-2145 DX: clean install of Windows 7, now I can't find the wireless drivers that work.

  I have a HP mini 210-2145 DX.  I recently had to do a clean install of Windows Ultimate edition.  Now, I can get a wireless connection because I can't find the right drivers on the HP site.  I tried 12 + drivers that I downloaded.  They all seem to be for 32 bits, and it's 64-bit.

  Can someone please help me find the right wireless drivers to install?  Thank you.

  Try this different file and see if it works automatically and installs the driver.

  File name: sp57965.exe

  There was also support for the hardware ID you have posted.

  I have no problem downloading the file, or by using 7 - zip to extract the exe file downloaded to a folder that you can browse from the network controller to install the drivers.

  Unfortunately, I can't help you with the problem if the new file does not work.

• Laptop HP 15-R204NE: clean install of Windows 10

  Hello

  I'm ready to do a clean install of Windows 10 but the only thing that worried me are the drivers provided factory installed with my laptop, it was initially delivered with Windows 64 - bit of 8.1. I don't want to lose one that I have no idea how or where I'm going to do if I lose everything. If someone has a way to understand this help is very much appreciated.

  Kind regards.

  Hello Zarakkhan ;
  
  I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.

  As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation.  After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine.  IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.

  That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1.  But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.

  As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup.  After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key.  This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.

  Good luck

• After clean install of Windows 7, Netflix and Internet TV plugin does not work on Windows Media Center.

  Original title: problem with Windows 7 Media center

  Is there anyway that I can replace the whole C:\Windows\ehome? There is a permissions issue, and I can't find a way to change the permissions...

  The only reason I want to do is I did a clean install of windows 7 and the plugin TV Pluzz.fr and the internet do not work on this computer and it seems to be no work around. But I have a PC where WMC works fine and I can replace the entire record of WMC and it should work like the other PC (I think).

  I could do if I ran linux or something, but I'm looking for something simple or a fix to this problem with WMC.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply.

• Clean install of Windows 7 on Pavilion M6 1000so

  Hello.

  I have a 1000so Pavilion M6 with a chipset AMD A70M / controller.

  Can someone tell me where I can find a driver windows 7 (x 64) to load when you try to do a clean install of Windows 7?

  Hello.

  Thanks for your reply Paul.

  The solution for me was to burn the image on a CD windows system file, and then it worked immediately!

  When I tried to install from a USB Pendrive drived it has failed every time. I tried to install different versions of different USB drives with the same error. (the USB key works on other machines)

  Install 8 Windows from a USB drive works fine. I also tried to load the atiSATA drivers (DCIS) starting from the .exe chipset.

  So, it seems that the problem is that Windows 7 does have the atisata driver, but does NOT have the USB drivers...

  ABAN... once more a CD does the job

  Thank you.

• Where to find the correct SHA1 checksum for the upgrade Pro Windows 8 ISO?

  I ordered the Windows 8 Pro upgrade online.  (not a preview but the new product on 26/10/12).  I downloaded and burned the ISO of the English version of the Windows 8 ISO file.  I'm assuming that 64-bit. This took place without incident.  I started the upgrade on a PC running Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, but it failed during the installation phase of Windows 8 to 72% with the error "installing Windows 8 failed".

  So I restarted the upgrade and it has not exactly in the same place (72%) and the same cryptic error.
  So I contacted the Microsoft Store and they helped me to go through the process of downloading a 2nd time.  The 2nd ISO file was exactly the same size, BUT it had a different SHA1 checksum!
  Then I tried the upgrade using the new DVD burned in the 2nd ISO file and it failed at exactly at the same stage of the upgrade (72%).
  So I got two corrupt downloads / Burns?   I have no way to tell because all I know is that they have different amounts of control.
  Maybe they all are both wrong, or maybe the question is something else entirely.
  But first things first.   How can I determine if my ISO file is correct?
  What is the checksum SHA1 of a non-corrupt ISO file?    Where to find the information online?

  I have the same problem with my 64-bit windows English version.

  I created a bootable DVD from iso and started to install a clean install by formatting the hard drive.
  Installation will be stuck at 17% and it happened to me like 3 times and I burned a fresh DVD and always the same question.
  It's like the worst level ever... Is there a way I can download an iso of 64-bit bootable DVD and use it to upgrade?

• Pavilion 14 G6S71UA #ABA: I'll always be able to use the pre-loaded software HP products if I do a clean install of Windows 10?

  I have a laptop 14 flag that came with Windows 8.1 - 64 Home, and I have upgraded to Windows Home 10-64. The upgrade went very wrong, but I would use Win 10 if possible. Microsoft recommends that I have to do a clean install of Windows 10, which will require you to reinstall all my programs MANY. They cannot tell me, however, if I'll still be able to use some of the applications delivered HP pre-loaded on my machine and that I find very useful - even if I am out of warranty. For example, I use HP Support Assistant updates the driver, and I found that HP DriveGuard works really well!

  I'll always be able to download all of these products and hence? I'll be able to get them on the page of the drivers for my laptop? If I can't, I'll probably have to settle for return to Windows 8.1.

  Thank you.

  Because the rep on the Microsoft forum did not answer my questions, today I called the support of Microsoft Windows 10 phone number. After that the rep is lost another hour of time my (and their) me browsing to enter SafeMode via several methods, everything I told him that I had already tried. the representative suggested that customizations of account that I had applied could be the cause of the distress.

  She also informed me that, for security reasons, Windows 10 no longer allows connectivity Mode Wireless safe; Although, if your PC is physically connected to the modem/router, you should be able to enter in IE (and maybe even in Edge) in Safe Mode.

  So I added a new local administrator account (that said, I log in with a password and not with one account Microsoft.), to be used only for safe mode and left all its parameters to the default values for Microsoft. And it worked! When connected to my router, I could get in Mode safe mode with internet connectivity via IE! Thanks to this rep, I finally have success.

• Clean install of Windows 8 on ENVY 4-1195

  Hello

  I buy a FANCY 4-1195 with Win8 preinstalled on it. I need to clean install Win8 Enterprise on it for power to reach the company network.

  When I click on

  The system uses something of a RAID configuration, because it doesn't have an Intel RST and a Smart Connect pilot.

  The problem is that I don't have access to a copy non - OEM Windows 8 to test the manual installation of the driver Intel RST or Smart Connect method.

  What is a stock Enterprise of Windows 8 version or a custom image for the company?  If it is a stock Enterprise installation, then the Windows Anytime Upgrade would be an option provided the OEM copy is always available and you know what is the product key.

  However, you can try to extract the contents of the package driver to a USB flash drive and try to manually install one of the drivers (RST or Smart Connect) to see if it makes the configuration of disk HARD visible during the installation process.

  Intel driver for fast ignition

  Intel Smart Connect driver technology

  7-zip

  1. install and open 7-zip.

  2 in 7 - zip, access both downloaded drivers linked above in the post.

  3. right click on each one and choose 7-zip > Archive open.

  4. extract the contents of each driver on an external USB drive.

  5. When you arrive at the selection of blank disc screen during installation of Windows 8, select the option to load drivers.

  6. go to the file Intel RST pilot which was extracted, select drivers and appropriate architecture (x 86 for 32-bit, x 64 for 64-bit).

  7. This can be a process of elimination.  Try each driver (in RST and Smart Connect) until you find one that works.

  8. when the appropriate driver has been installed, then the HARD drive should be visible.

  Let me know what happens.
