Confusion of Win 8.1 Pro and HP drivers... Help!
[SOLVED]
I solved this issue and I found all the necessary drivers for the laptop, including those who were in SWsetup which I found and renamed all the drivers because they have been abbreviated. Fortunately, most of the drivers have an XML file within the software so I know that I have the right drivers.
I was initially really p * d with this forum and HP because I don't want a book full of useless c * software p I'll never use. I have my own license for NIS_2013, and I have my own licensed software I want to use instead of what HP wants you to use. I was embarrassed at first but can appreciate that you have rules and guidelines that must be followed at all times.
I wish that you could by a laptop or notebook with no OS and just the laptop. It would be much easier and less stressful on my nerves. Unfortunately I resoled this now, and although it took me the best part of an hour to find and rename all the drivers and software, because HP has decided on shortening all the drivers and software, maybe it was to discourage users by their use. I like a challenge, and I cracked. I saved these my external drives and now I know that I have all the drivers and software. I am not particularly a fan of the Cyberlink software, I've never been. I have nothing against CyberLink. I don't like their software.
Thank you...
I appreciate this is a long topic but... I would have thought that at least somebody could have pointed me in the right direction. I am a little disappointed to be honest with this forum because I would have thought that somebody would have stepped up to the table and given a little bit of guidance instead I have had zero response which is a little disheartening to say the least. I am the kind of person who rarely ask for assistance, and on the occasion that I do I get stonewalled. I am the kind of person who will rarely ask HP for assistance... mainly because I can resolve issues myself. If I don't hear anything, well then I shall put it down to experience. It's a shame that nobody has the... Well excuse my French, balls to answer a question that HP obviously won't support on their forums which I find bizarre considering advanced users don't like all the extras that come with this laptop. I like to install what I wan to use. not what a manufacturer provider of hardware and software tells me to use and install. Is it asking too much. I guess so. I have located 95% of the drivers and software. I just have one Unknown left in Device Manager. I took a snapshot of Programs and Device Manager so I know what needs to be installed. I do this for a living on a daily basis and I am intelligent enough to resolve this myself. But a little assistance on one Unknown Device would be nice. I am sorry if I come across as pig headed and a little frank. But I find it frustrating when advanced users like myself ask for assistance. I am a moderator and IT support on a well established forum and help people all day long... well no over XMAS and the New Year. But yep... I do this morning to evening and in the night supporting others. Thank you HP... Enough said....

HP Pavilion n208tx: upgrade of the operating system using Win 8.1 Pro and pilot
Hello
I have n208tx with nvidia 740 m.
I recently upgraded my OS to Win 8.1 Pro with a clean and then installed installation graphics drivers available on the site but all games or software I recognize that "Microsoft base Render driver."
I don't have a disk recovery or on the CD and hope to set it up without it since I did not have to return to vanilla and install each driver and updated each time
Can someone help me with this? The OS is Win 8.1 Pro without Service Pack.
Also I would apreciate if someone could list all the numbers (i.e. spxxxxx) driver for my system because there are drivers for AMD, Intel, Ralink, Realtek etc.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Nashnir
Hello:
Here is the link to the page W8.1 of the driver for your model.
When you install the graphics, make sure to install these drivers in this order and restart after each installation >

Dilemma of dual boot Win XP SP3 Pro and Windows 8 Pro
At this time, April 2013, I expect to build a desktop system dual boot with Windows 8 Pro for the current and future capabilities and Win XP Pro for continued use of legacy aps favorite who will not run on Win8. It turns out that the disc formats are a problem. The Win8 64 bit needs a partition format GPT to install 32-bit XP or XP Pro needs a format MBR partition to install. No OS will share the same format and a main drive cannot be formatted and partitioned in a type of format or the other. What to do? !! Two computers are not an acceptable answer; I want a 'box '. In addition, not interested in XP Mode embeded in Win8 or 'virtual machine '. One suggestion has been to run the operating system on separate disks. For me, this means that 2 SSD is to get performance on the two operating systems. Also, to move from one OS to another, you must restart; catch the key bios entry; change the boot sequence; Save/quit; and reboot. (Awkward!). So what to do with the data and documents - one NAS file storage (for example, disk WD Live 'cloud')? There's good news to have? Are there recent usability solutions to help solve the dilemma of the dual boot? A boot manager will really help and there a good "gift" there Boot Manager? Thoughts, anyone?
I have a custom system DIY mb Gigabyte Z77, processor i7-3770, running a fresh XP Pro SP3 Edition Builder.
The drive letter is not critical since XP, Windows 8 will still start as C: (even if the partition is Z: in Windows XP).
I pre-formatted Windows 8 partition before installing Windows 8 (named volume: Windows 8).
Then, when you reach the screen "Where install" during the installation of 8, choose the partition of Windows 8.
You can view other things is the BIOS, look for compatibility / legacy mode option.

Windows 7 Pro and SCSI drivers
Up XP to 7 Pro. I run several scanners and large format doc. To try to get a driver for my Adaptec 2940 series cards SCSI, it says no drivers for Win 7 (64). Do I need a machine with XP for my operations separate scanner? SCSI peripheral end with XP?
You can buy a pci/scsi win7 supported card, but your next problem would be to know if manufacturers scan win7 supply factors.
If no driver win7 and you have win7 pro or ultimate you can install virtual winxp of MS, then run the scanners in this environment

Premiere Pro and graphics drivers
I started a trial of Premiere Pro, but when I try to open the program, I get an error message stating: "Adobe Premiere Pro has not found all the modules capable of video game. Please update your video display drivers and try again "."
I tried to restore my graphics driver to a previous version and this corrected the problem. However, I can't use this driver because it offers only a very limited screen resolution. When I updated my graphics driver, I got the same error message.
Does anyone know a solution to this?
Vegas has different requirements than the PR, which States the screen resolution 1280 x 900 and your vertical resolution is lower than that. That is why I said, you have to work blind.

Acer Aspire its problems after Win 7 Pro and the new installed HARD drive
I have an acer aspire 8735 laptop g-6502 which has recently undergone a WD 500 GB drive HARD failure. I replaced that with a 7200 RPM Hitachi 1 TB drive and given that I don't have a Win 7 original used a disk Win 7 Pro with an extra friend.
Windows 7 Pro and HARD disk installation went smooth. But now when I plug an HDMI cable to watch through my Marantz receiver, comes from the video, but I have to do manually the Marantz the default audio device for sound. When I unplug the HDMI, I must return to the parameters of sound and unenable Marantz and re - activate the Realtek audio.
Before the drive died HARD, happen all perfectly when you plug the HDMI cable in and the fact to disconnect without any fiddling around with settings.
I also have a few other questions:
1. the touch volume control next to the numeric keypad does not control the volume more
2. the keyboard key used to have a setting to display it. You can use two fingers on a tablet to drag the image to the screen bigger and smaller.I looked the site of Acer and also used my drive Application and drivers to reinstall everything that looked related to these issues. When first, I installed Win 7 Pro I let Windows find the appropriate drivers. It worked for some things but not others.
Any ideas? I have a few scratches on my face and my forehead in frustration pain making me beat me here. Funny, but true, so all ideas are appreciated!
Here's my screen design Mgr impression - there's an 'unknown' device IDK how to understand what it is.

You have installed the application to launch mnager. Alternatively you can install from this link and check the function of touch volume control and display adjustment launch application manager

I have an OEM Win 10 Pro and want to downgrade to Win 7 pro, but do not have Win 7 Pro iso or disc. The seller tells me that MS will provide Win 7 Pro to achieve, but my Windows 10 Pro product key does not work on the download page.
Thank you

If Pro 10 Windows was preinstalled on your computer, see how in-depth instructions downgrade:
How Downgrade Windows preinstalled 10 for Windows 7/8.1
As mentioned in the article, it is your responsibility to facilitate access to Windows 7 Professional reinstall media. He may be borrowing retail upgrade or full version of media or OEM System Builder.
You can use the following utility to download the ISO of Windows 7 Professional:
Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net
Instructions for activation phone activation use after decommissioning in detail article I linked at the start. No need to buy Windows 7 Professional.
Instead of replace, you might want to consider dual booting:
How to: Dual Boot Windows 7 or Windows 8 with Windows installed 10 first
If what you bought is an OEM System Builder Windows 10 Pro license, then you can indeed buy Windows 7 Professional.
Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.
Full version (retail):
-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
-Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
-Expensive
Upgrade version (detail):
-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
-require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
-Expensive, but less expensive full version
OEM System Builder version:
The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us-----------------------
Please note that Windows 7 Release Candidate is a preliminary version of Windows and should not have has been used as a release candidate.
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your desktop.
Once the download is complete, close all browser windows and start the program uninstaller. Once done, restart the laptop.
Then, download and install Firefox , then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You can deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before download.
Close all browser windows before you run the installer of Flash.
Start Firefox and see if the video play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same link Adobe Flash above to get a command prompt to install the ActiveX component. Once completed, restart Internet Explorer.
If you still get the problem of loading, run a check of the speed of your internet connection by using a site like the one on the link below, where it is causing the problem.

Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive
Hello
My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
He said that there is a missing driver.I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.
I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...
What can I do?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards
Bruno MoreiraMore old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.
But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
Give it a try. -
Updated by Satellite P750/05F to Win 8.1 Pro - a few questions
I just upgraded my P750/05F Windows 8.1 pro with a CLEAN win pro 8.1 installation
I downloaded and used only the windows 8.1 drivers listed for the P750 via the toshiba site.
I've always had some problems, but I think I solved theIE. : no Win 8 driver worked for ENE IR device, so I used win 7 64 bit
Atheros windows caused 8driver problem so I got latest Atheros siteThere is no drivers windows 8 for the trackpad on the toshiba site and windows drivers 8 synaptic install not at all, so I used windows 7 64 drivers.
So far, the machine seems stable with it.
Im very bored Toshiba did not provide a windows driver package 8 for complete installation.
Anyway my questions are outstanding
1. is there a windows driver 8 for the TV tuner? or can I use the driver windows 7?
2. my FN keys work, but I did not comment on the screen for windows 8 when I use FN F8 keys to enable or disable the wireless. With windows 7 there are icons that would jump to the top. Is there a software for this?
Thanks for any help.
Toshiba has provided a research of system of Windows 8.
There you can check if your system can be updated to Windows 8. 1
http://support.Toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows81/list_au.htmIn case your laptop series isn t listed, the laptop series isn't supported to win 8.1.
This means that the drivers Win 8.1 would not be available too. :(It really good news that your machine runs on stable even using the Win 7 drivers.
With regard to the return to the screen button FN:
This part is controlled by Toshiba function Key Utility to win 8.1This tool is available for several other new series laptop and that's why I recommend you to install these software released for other series.
