E1-510 Acer with windows 10 installed, should I update bios 2.12 new version I have now 2.5
I have an acer laptop e1-510. I have upgraded to windows 10 then clean installed the operating system. I went to the acer site and there is no windows 10 drivers than ect, but I have noticed that there are updates bios newer than the one I installed. I now have version 2.5. The latest on the site is 2.12. do I need to install all of the bios updates or just news? Im very afraid of something going wrong, it is a laptop, I bought for my mother and don't want to spoil the bios because it makes a computer useless without reprogramming or a new bios chip. Thanks to anyone who can offer assistance on this
You can flash the 2.12 directly, but please follow strictly the instructions on the PDF file.

I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)
If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.
If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

Also contact manufacturing support team.

On several occasions, I have installed the new Flash Player. However, when the use of Firefox continues to ask Web sites (e.g. maps.google.com, etc.) to download the new Flash Player. I did so completely and repeatedly and restarted.
I don't have this problem with other browsers.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an ActiveX version for IE only and a plug-in version for most of the other browsers like Firefox. On a Windows system, you must always update both individually. You don't have the Plugin version installed for Firefox, if you did, you will see "Shockwave Flash" in the Add-ons > Plugins.
- With Firefox, click the direct download link below and SAVE the download on your desktop, so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

How will I know if I have KB926044 on my XP with SP3 & IIS installed and all updates installed
Re: ESET Antivirus Rescue CD & KB926044
The above application requires that I have the Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) installed and that KB926044 is installed on my XP with SP3 & IIS installed and all updates installed.
Is there a way I can check that KB926044 is installed?
Hello
I want you to know that the Services IIS and IIS can be installed only on Windows XP Professional. Microsoft Windows XP Home edition users are not given the ability to add IIS in the typical method. Using the method "Add / Remove Programs' in the control panel would be nice, but only the XP Professional edition allows.
View a list of updates installed on your computer, follow these steps.
Open Add or remove programs.
At the top right, select the Show updates check box. All installed updates appear at the top of your list of programs.
Notes: To open Add / Remove Programs, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click on Add / Remove Programs.
You can also view your history for installation on the Windows Update Web site (http://www.microsoft.com).
You can contact Eset customer service here: http://go.eset.com/us/support/contact/s1/#

How to restart a computer that came with windows already installed.
I have a desktop with windows 8, which was installed by the manufacturer. It crashed and tried to reload winows 8 of microsoft. Recovery usb I downloaded from microsoft was trying to restart windows 8. Initial start-up asked me the windows KEY. The key is loaded into the bios but is not visible. How can I regain access windows KEY? Thank you
You're telling me that the manufacturer could not / refuses to send you the installation media to restore their computer to condition "as delivered"?
Who is the manufacturer? I know that Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Toshiba, etc all have them set up programs to help users specifically with (this installation/recovery to get to their systems support) as they agreed (in their license agreement with Microsoft) provide a method for the end user to do exactly this.
In many cases the 8/8.1 Windows product key is embedded in the BIOS at the factory for these machines. You could read here on some methods for such a key - but honestly - you shouldn't have it (must be able to skip that part in installation and always get installed.):
https://itsolutionsblog.NET/3-ways-to-extract-the-Windows-8-product-key/
