• No Audio - after a clean reinstall of Windows XP Edition family

  Had a network worm in my computer that McAfee didn't detect.

  Advised to do a clean reinstall of Windows, for many that lost all audio, my motherboard is made by Foxconn, any ideas how I can find the correct drivers for this problem?

  Completing all the windows updates since, but still no sound!

  Hello

  Just unzip the files, you should be able to right click on the file and select "extract here". Once the files are extracted, just locate the .exe file and double-click it to launch the installation program, from there just follow the guests to install the driver. You may need to restart the computer for the changes to be detected. :-)

• Upgrade the hardware of Dell XPS (L521x) how to perform a clean reinstall of Windows 10 Pro

  Hello

  I searched on the internet with the question that I have before doing the upgrade and the re-installation of windows. But the messages and solutions are all scattered. I really want to clear this for me once and for all if possible.

  First of all, the material that I bought for this upgrade:

  1 Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD 120 GB (to replace the one 32 GB (factory default)

  2 western Digital Black 750Go Performance Mobile HDD (7200 RPM, 2.5 inches)

  3 Intel (r) Dual Band Wireless - AC 7260 (802.11ac, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi, Bluetooth)

  4. crucial Ballistix Sport SODIMM 16 GB (2x8GB) PC3-14900 CL10 at 1.35v 204 pin memory

  BTW, my Dell XPS 15 L521x has an intel core i7-3632QM and an nVIDIA GeForce GT 640 M. It also comes with 32 mSATA SSD as cache for the WDC 1 TB HARD drive.

  My goal:

  1 install/reinstall Windows 10 mSATA SSD 120 GB and free 500 MB give or take for system reserved partition.

  2. use the remaining space in the C: drive.

  3. use WD Black 2.5 inch 750 GB HHD for cold storage

  4. Remove and reinstall the wireless card Intel Dual Band for a better Wi - Fi compatiability for most routers dual band out there. (Factory default, well, is not great to say the least)

  5. Remove and then install the crucial RAM (compatiable with L521x) is to upgrade memory of my laptop (maybe a little future-proof;) (D).

  Before you start the upgrade, I know I have to do the following steps:

  1. update my BIOS/UEFI. (I did it)

  2 clear accelerated Intel Rapid Start Technology (IRST) GUI (my laptop keeps inviting that "your system does not have any intel repaid with start technology").

  3. change Intel Smart response Technology (ISRT) to AHCI in BIOS

  4 back up my files

  5. my 10 Pro Activation of emergency Windows (how exactly? The Win10 Pro is upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1 with OEM Dell)

  Now my question is what I do or what I've been missing so that what I will meet errors or problems if possible.

  Also, I have heard or seen something on the OEM of Windows version. If I change the hardware, disk files or recovering backup activation does not recognize my device. Is this true? If necessary, I can buy a new version of Win10 Pro retail. But, what I really need to do, and does it perform a not-so-complicated work around?

  Thank you very much

  Dean

  If you keep your motherboard you have no problem taking the other components such as SSDS.

  Your system is already a Pro 10 Windows device.

  Installing clean with 10 Windows installation media Pro TH2 your OEM Pro 8.1 Windows key will be automatically entered to the UEFI BIOS and Windows 10 Pro TH2 automatically reactivates when your systems online.

• Could not restore Windows 8 on my new SSD

  Hi all

  I installed a new 500 GB SSD on my Inspiron 14Z 5423.

  I tried to use the three months USB drive, I created there with Dell backup and restore to re-create and rebuild the (clean) software on my laptop.

  But the thing won't work, among other things, I get a message of 0 xC0000001. This means that the USB drive is corrupt? I also tried with a SATA cable using the old HD connected via USB. This is because the SSD is built in 'and the recovery drive deos who don't know '?

  Because I can't do anything with my laptop I can't recreate the recovery USB disk, I suppose that a (XPS12) Dell recovery disk will not work because it's another machine, is that correct?

  Would a Windows.ISO engraved on a DVD work? I've got a DVD in my laptop.

  Please notify.

• How to install Windows 7 on a new SSD, Dell Windows 7 DVD

  I have a new SSD for my workstation Precision 7510.  I need to install windows 7 on it from the DVD provided by Dell.  The DVD has no drivers and so when I try and install, I get a message about "the installation media does contain not all drivers" and the installation will not allow me to continue.  Keep in mind that my new SSD has no partition recovery or in fact any partition.  I have a drivers Cab file and I also have this unpacked on a USB key, but it does not appear as a disk when I "Browse".  Neither the new SSD - t - there no partitions...

  Do I need to format the SSD drive first?

  Could someone tell me where I can get the drivers and all that forms, they must be in?  In other words, I need to burn it to a DVD, and what would the structure of directory?  Do I have to download all the drivers separately - there are a number of EXEs on the support site, or can I use the Dell Enterprise site CAB file?

  I tried various things now since a few days and I'm losing my grip on reality :)

  Thanks in advance.

• Activate the upgrade of windows 8 installed the new SSD

  Yesterday, I received a new SSD and I wanted to replace my current SSD. I knew it was not going to be easy to do this, I think that MS hates me :-(.

  In any case, I have a 8 win upgrade key. So what I did is first install win 7 on my new SSD but the problem was, I couldn't activate win 7. The message was that this key was already in use (which could be true because my current SSD has been improved for this key).

  So I continued and installed win 8 hollow upgrade its Web site. Finally, when I try to activate I get this lovely error "0xc004c003 the activation server determined that the specified product key is blocked. I googled and the result was MS hates you. Now, I am very sad and don't know what I just loved and hated not being. I tried phone activation and other tips of register of google, but it wouldn't help.

  If I plug my old SSD I can see that windows 8 is enabled and works but I don't know how to get a clean install on my new SSD.

  Please stop hating me :'-(

  Try the phone activation:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

  
  

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

• Installation Windows 8.1 on new SSD?

  Hello

  My laptop came with Windows 7.  I bought the upgrade of Windows 8 and now Windows 8.1 is released I will install it.  My laptop is a bit slow and I get an SSD.
  I have a question, can I download Windows 8.1 and burn it to a DVD and then start and install it on a whole new SSD? I'm not sure that I heard him being made available to the store so I will need to have windows at first?
  Thank you!

  You could always use the upgrade wizard when Windows 8.1 becomes available and create a. ISO file that allows you to install it.

• Upgrade to windows 10 on a new SSD without losing files

  Hello

  So I have here is my situation:

  -A got a new SSD, makes my old hard drive in an external.
  -Already installed on my new SSD of things, and my old HD has everything on my old computer.

  So I would like to know if I could:

  -install the windows 10 update on my old HD, without calling on my old computer.
  -install the new windows 10 (not the upgrade but after I installed on my old HD), on my new SSD without losing files and programs already on it.

  That's all, thank you

  I explained to him that you can store everything, including the image on the hard drive, then return it to the outer shell to start the imaging boot disk to apply the image to the SSD.

  However if you do not want to remove the SSD, it is possible using startup disk Macrium made on another PC to boot the PC with attached externally, save the image partition system and the OS on another partition (shrunk if necessary c using The Partition Wizard CD boot), transfer the data to the SSD and then apply the image to the SSD after the removal of its partition using Macrium or Partition Wizard.

• Removal of the reserve system and PQSERVICE during the clean reinstall of Windows 7

  IM about to format my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 using the windows 7 CD that I bought. I see a number of partitions:

  Disk 0 partition 1: PQSERVICE

  Disk 0 partition 2: System reserves

  Disk 0 partition 3: Acer

  Disk 0 partition 4: DATA

  I would like to reinstall also costs as possible

  Can I delete Disk 0 Partition 1: PQSERVICE and Disk 0 partition 2: RESERVE SYSTEM

  I think PQSERVICE provides stuff like the drivers for my ACER desktop computer requires. However I already downloaded the ACER site using my serial number. I'm more concerned about the reserve of the system parition.

  I got response would be much appreciated. I'm not to make a terrible mistake.

  Thank you

  your PC had no any CD to re - install because it is inside the PQSERVICE partition, you must make the CD yourself using Acer erecovery tool.

  without PQSERVICE and create this partition with Acer erecovery CD/DVDs you will not be able to restore factory default.

  If you don't want or need it, simply clear all the HARD drive and go with a simple installation of windows 7, PQSERVICE and system restore are not needed, the system restore is not created from the new facility.

  The drivers are downloadable as you have already found.

  Outlook Express is a desktop client and all mail clients remove the messages from the server if it is a POP3 account and unless you select the option leave a copy of messages on the server that has been put at your disposal. What is a POP3 account?

  If it is a POP3 account, you're probably SOL, but before you give up, try this tool. You can find messages, and it's not free, so no harm to try.

• How can I reinstall the window 8 for a new hard drive?

  I just got a new hard drive for Dell to replace the old, which is at the top and about to fail (according to the Dell diagnostic tool).

  Reference Dell included a record called 'Restoration of Windows 8 for Windows 8 64-bit products Support'

  I'm a layman, but can certainly replace the hard drive. What exactly should I do it (step by step, if possible) when I turn on the computer for the first time with the new hard drive in place. The disc should already be in the optical drive?

  Thanks, Alex

  There is not much to be done in any real particular order really.  It won't hurt to have the disc in the drive the first time that you start with the new player connected, but even if are not the worst case, you get a "no OS on this disc, press ctrl + Alt + Del to restart".

  When start you, you may need to press a special sequence on the keyboard like F2 or DEL or Escape to boot from the CD. He can say so on the screen, or it can just try first default (likely) CD.

  In any case, once you start from the CD, it is a wizard from there. Simply press 'next' and 'agree' and all that jazz to what Windows 8 is installed back. Then search for updates & restart for the next 4 days :)
