• ProBook 470: ProBook 470 poor WiFi after upgrade to Windows 10

  Hi all

  There are so many issues report on WiFi on Windows 10 problems, but I'm not really mine.

  I'm running the ProBook HP 470 with WiFi Atheros 9000 series card. It worked fine with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

  A couple of weeks, I decided to upgrade to Windows 10. Everything works fine, except the WiFi. I can connect to the WLAN and network speed and the signal strength is perfect, but after a while (minutes or even hours), he falls abruptly to the bottom and my router WLAN even States disconnected, but he'll fix itself after a while. I can force the "self-repair-speed" of disabling and enabling WiFi again.

  But, this is no good solution, WiFi has to work reliable all the time when not moving and it work perfectly with Windows 7. I was hoping that Microsoft and hardware vendors manage drivers after one year of version 10 of Windows, but seems not to be the case.

  I have already installed the latest driver for HP download site, but it is already a year old, and it was the same thing as Windows / Microsoft has done while Windows Upgrade. Therefore no change to be expected.

  Before that I go down again to Windows 7, what can I do? There are a few other pilots who could interfere with WLAN and might not be updated? (More of the WLAN driver I don't have other day manually because I count for the Windows upgrade process.)

  Volker

  The laptop is to date, according to the release of Windows 10.

  Anyway, it doesn't work well, that's why I decided to downgrade to Windows 7. Now it works again as it is supposed to.

• HP Mini 1140NR Vivienne Tam: available alternative or upgrade to Windows XP from stock

  Having obtained his computer BIOS password unlocked, she asked me if there was an alternative/upgrade to Windows XP that would go on the unit (HP Mini 1140NR Vivienne Tam Edition). Correctly, she heard that XP is no longer supported.

  Somehow, I doubt that 10 Windows is running on the device and do not know if anyone has any success with another OS on this particular unit.

  I tried a version of 'live' of LUBUNTU 16.04 a bootable USB key. However; It does not seem to start properly and also to present messages of needing a wireless driver that is missing.

  Would appreciate any advice. The unit still works with XP (although there is no protection against viruses and is not easy to manage) and I don't want to make it unusable by playing with it without a reasonable chance of success.

  Geocacher_7103

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about an alternative to XP and wanted to help.

  I'm not surprised Ubuntu 16.04 has problems on your PC - I've been running various Linux distributions for more than ten years, on a variety of desktop and laptop computers, and it has problems on my machines, as well.

  My best guess is that no new Linux distribution will work on a computer laptop xp - era.  I have such a laptop and the latest version of Ubuntu that worked well was 8.04 - April 2008.  After that, they made changes to the kernel, and then later, changes in xorg, such that no new distributions would work well.  Finished restore XP and then later, the upgrade to Vista, then to Win7 - which worked very well!

  Win10 is almost certainly NOT going to work, because it requires CPU features that were not widely available when the XP machines are out.  I tried it on two of my computers laptops xp - era and it would be not installed on one of them - but in all honesty, I also tried Win8 on both, and while that installed, it does not work well.

  My suggestion for an alternative is Win7.  Even if Ms changed templates driver in Win7, they kept intact existing compatibility - that is why my computer laptop xp - era worked very well, even if it used xp video drivers, video drivers to no Win7.

  Oh and once you get Win7 installed, download and install this to prevent MS to force an upgrade Win10 on you: RCMP | Never10
  
  Good luck

• NB550D - upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to professional

  Dear all,

  I recently bought a Toshiba NB550D and must update the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Pro. I tried the (preinstalled) Anytime Upgrade Assistant level, but this does not work. I'm stuck in the wizard because - as he says - "you may need to change the language settings or locale to purchase Windows Anytime Upgrade online". I learned that in order to use anytime upgrade regional settings must be identical to those of the country where your billing address. For me, this country is Switzerland, everything must be in German.

  The problem is, the installation of Windows 7 Starter still uses English as 'Display language' and this cannot be changed after installation. I tried to roll back the installation but there is no other possible choice, it is always English. All other regional and language settings can be changed.

  My questions:
  -Are there a way to force the display of Windows 7 Starter language to German (whether before or after the initial installation)?
  -Are there a way to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro, work around the problem, for example by using a different approach of the wizard at any time to upgrade?
  D ' other suggestions that might help?

  Thank you
  GG

  Hey Buddy,

  It depends of the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter. If Windows 7 Starter has been pre-installed in the English language only an upgrade to an English version of Windows 7 Professional is possible. So that you can t upgrading English to German for example, this is why you have to buy a new version of Windows 7.

  So either you buy a new version of Windows 7 Professional in German, or you upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. The Ultimate version offers MUI (Multilingual User Interface).

• Solution for Webcam sleep & back problems after the upgrade to Windows 7

  Just thought I'd share the solution I recently found a problem I've had since a Satellite Pro A200 GE 26 Q of the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.

  I installed the software webcam for windows 7 on the toshiba site and built-in Chicony camera would work very well after a reboot, but if the computer is in sleep for a long enough period, the unit would stay asleep when the computer woke up and wouldn't work at all, unless the computer has fully restarted.

  The solution lies in a change in the registry to force the computer to update the webcam USB controller is attached, after the release of sleep. It was apparently the default for Vista when it was released, but was changed in Vista SP1 and Windows 7. Designed for Vista original material which did not have its drivers/registry updated entries could therefore be subject to a failure because of changes to the default settings through the updates of windows. Toshiba, it seems, do not think that this issue then of the extinction of the registry fix for Win7 upgrades for the satellite Pro A200. Therefore fix manually.

  The article where the solution is here: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928631]

  You do NOT have the file of the fix, you must only make the change to the registry described later.

  You need turn on the camera while you do the following to make sure that it appears in Device Manager correctly.

  Step 1: Determine the specific USB host controller

  
  # Click on * early *, enter devmgmt.msc #the * search * box, then click on * devmgmt.msc* in the * list of programs.
  # The * view * menu, click on * devices of * connection *.
  # Expand the processor node. For example, expand * ACPI * Multiprocessor PC *. (In my case, * ACPI x 86 based PC) *.
  # Extend * system compatible ACPI Microsoft *.
  # Extend * PCI Bus *. Several USB host controllers will be listed.
  # Expand each USB host controller node, and then expand successive subnodes until you find the name of the device that is failing. For example, the device entry might look like the following: ACPI Multiprocessor PC\Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System\PCI Bus\Intel (R) \ICH8 family USB Universal Host Controller - drive root Hub\fingerprint 2830\USB * (Note: for me, I found the webcam to ACPI x 86 PC\Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System\PCI Bus\Intel (R) \ICH8 family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 283A\USB Root Hub + USB Composite Device\Chicony USB 2.0 Camera-based) *.
  # When you have located the device, right click on the associated and then USB host controller click on * properties *. In the example that is listed in step 6 you would right-click * Intel(r) ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller-* 2830, then click on * properties *. (* Again, for me it was different - ICH8 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 283 a *).
  # Click on the * details * tab.
  # Select * pilot key * in the list. The driver key will look like the following. Note the last four digits of this driver key. {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000} \0002 * (on my system it's: (36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000) \0005*).
  
  
  

  Step 2: Add the ForceHCResetOnResume registry value for the USB host controller

  
  # Click on * early *, type regedit #in the * search * box, then click on * regedit.exe* in the * list of programs.
  # Find and then click the registry subkeys that are similar to the following: * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\Four-digit_number.* in this step, the numero_a_quatre_chiffres is a placeholder for the USB devices in the system.
  # You must search the registry subkey by using the value that you noted in step 9 above. For example, if the key of the pilot to step 9 is * {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000} \0002*, then you need to get * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class {36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000} \0002. (For me, as mentioned above, this was \0005 (36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000)). *
  # On the * Edit * menu, point on * New * and then click on * DWORD value *.
  # Type# * ForceHCResetOnResume * to the name of the DWORD and then press ENTER.
  # Right click * ForceHCResetOnResume * and then click on * edit *.
  # In the * boite box the value data, type# 1 and then click on * OK *.
  # Exit the registry editor.
  # Restart the computer.

  This fixed the problem for a long time for me. I'm writing this in case it helps someone else who has the same problem. If anyone from Toshiba never reads this, you might consider adding the registry fixes for upgrades of windows 7 on the download page for this & all other models affected.

  Big Hey what s announced and detailed, thank you! :)
  I m wondering how you discovered it.

  But I want to add something: before you make or change something in the Windows registry, make a backup of it. In the worst cases, restore you the old Windows registry. Just to be sure ;)

• Upgrade to Windows 10 on HP series VK010PA #ABG

  Before I even try to upgrade to Windows 10 I tried the weebsite indices if HP my laptop current is capable of runing Windows 10, but it was without help even after inputing the 11-digit series.

  Anyone have any suggestions other than to give it a try

  Dear CherylG

  I find your useful answer and be conservative I tend to stay with something that gives me what I need. However, subsequently, Windows 7 will be no longer maintained & then I'll be forced to upgrade when 10 is no longer a free offer. I will need to throw a coin.

  Thanks for you helpful answers.

  Thank you.

  Don't be swayed by the success of AN upgrade - as everyone's experience is different, and the old PC Win7 have had many problems to upgrade to Win10.

  I've updated several Win7 PC to Win10 - and they had all these problems in one way or another.  Two of them do not have the upgrade so bad I had to put back their factory settings to retrieve them as long as you work. ... so I wrote this to provide advice to people considering such update...
  
  You think about the amount of work that you want to post just to run Win10.  Seriously.
  
  Some of the old Win7 machines came with two different graphics chips - and Intel, and then, either a processor AMD or Nvidia.  This was known as switchable graphics card or hybrid.  You have run using the Intel chip most of the time, but when you need additional graphics power, as in the game, the PC automatically switched over to the use of the AMD or Nvidia graphics chip.
  
  Problem is, this requires special graphics drivers to work, and while those that are preinstalled on the Win7 PC, these drivers simply do not exist for Win10.  These drivers are not available from Intel, AMD or Nvidia.  One way to tell if your PC has two different graphics chips is to look in under Graphics Device Manager.
  
  IMPORTANT: If there are two different cards listed, an Intel and AMD/Nividia, then you have this problem - and if you force an upgrade to Win10, you will have serious graphic problems and your machine will not work.
  
  However, if you do not have this problem, to CAN pass to Win10, but you must be willing to do four things:
  
  If you are determined to upgrade to Win10, you must be willing to do four things:
  (1) do a full image backup of disk external drive or USB stick, capacity
  (2) changes to the reserved system partitioning hard disk recommandΘes mΘthodes,
  (3) use a different approach and maybe more than one, as Windows Update to do the upgrade,
  (4) prepare for a clean install.
  
  ---------------------------------
  1: backup of images:
  This is VITAL, because the machine is doomed to failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.
  
  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
  ---------------------------------
  2: System reserved for resizing:
  There is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own. You will discover only this problem when upgrade FAILS and generates a message about cannot resize the system reserved.  IF this happens, you restore your PC to Win7 (that's why you need to backup) and I then have to manually use a partitioning tool to resize the partition system reserved for 350 MB yourself.
  ---------------------------------
  3: use a different approach to upgrade:
  Windows Update is the simpler, but less reliable, way to do the upgrade from Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.
  
  After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
  ---------------------------------
  4: be prepared to clean-install:
  If you do all this, and after the upgrade, your PC works partially, this means that the upgrade is not well and stuff is still there the previous OS corrupt the functionality of Win10.
  
  You MIGHT be able to solve the problem in fact a clean install of Win10. Problem is that, often, a clean-install does not recognize prior activation, even if it should. So, before doing the upgrade, follow these instructions on the community forums Win10 on creating a genuineticket.xml file: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/23354-clean-install-windows-10-directly-without-having-upgrade-first.html
  
  You need more later to activate your pc Win10 after the installation of clean.
  
  -----------------------------------------------
  
  Also, if after the upgrade, you have problems associated with the drivers, if your PC has HP Win8x drivers, for drivers provided by MS that don't work well, you might consider using drivers HP Win8 - well there is no guarantee that these drivers will work.
  
  Here is the link to the page of software and drivers HP product for Win8 to your PC:
  
  If this page does not display Win8x when you open it, then click EDIT and select Windows 8 x using the menu drop down.
  
  You may need to install the drivers using the compatibility mode: http://www.windows10forums.com/articles/compatibility-mode.7/

• No audio after upgrading to windows 7. SoundBlaster card is installed

  After the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit), I found that my speakers (which are integrated into my HP w2207 monitor) are not recognized.  In the notification area, I have the speaker with a Red Cross in it, and he said: "no Audio output device is installed".

  I have a HP Pavilion D4890Y with Sound Blaster Audigy X - FI 24 - Bit Xtreme Sound card.  I tried looking in the Device Manager and found "Multimedia Audio Controller" under the other heading, stipulating that no driver could not be found.

  I tried following some of the tips online and downloaded the latest Realtek High Definition Audio drivers, but the download seems to work fine, and I don't notice any difference.  When I reboot as prompted, I still have the same error.

  I then tried to force the Audio device to use a driver Realtek, but protests from Windows (saying that is not sure that it is compatible with my device and I find myself with "Realtek High Definition Audio" under "Audio, video and game controllers", but it has a yellow exclamation point.  If I click Properties, the device status says "this device cannot start (Code 10)". If I try to update the driver, I get the message that it can not find the driver software.   If I uninstall the driver, I'm back to the original problem (multimedia audio controller under original devices, with no known driver).

  I also tried to download various files on the Creative site, but we don't know which to use, and 4 or 5 different ones that I tried (including their recommended for Windows 7 beta version), when each of them opens, it is said he doesn't get supported devices.

  Suggestions?  Thank you!

  Since someone responded to my post on the Creative site with the right answer.  If anyone has the same problem, here is the correct link:

• Upgrade to Windows 10 windows 8.1 on the Yoga 3 Pro

  Computer hangs when you try to upgrade to Windows 10 (the circle under the lenovo logo runs for about a second, then stops). After forced reboot, it is up to 8.1 Windows with error message:

  "We could not install Windows 10
  We put your PC in the way it was just before the start, install Windows 10.

  0xC1900101 - 0 x 20017
  "Installation failed during SAFE_OS with an error during the START operation.

  I tried the suggestions online for this error (turn off bluetooth/wifi, remove the USB devices, USB installation editing), but does not (or am I doing wrong?),

  I suspect this is related to the fact that I can't boot from the Windows 10 USB installation disk either.

  I also tried all combinations of UEFI/fix/legacy boot in the Bios. The only time wherever I was able to boot from USB Windows 10 was boot inherited, but boot from USB via UEFI rather than inheritance. It has since stopped working, even after complete healing of Windows 8.1.

  I was able to upgrade once after doing factory reset with the Lenovo USB. Wanted to clean install Windows 10 next, which I was able to boot Windows USB 10, but the installation failed for some reason any (i.e. obtained even hang up to restart the computer, as described above). Since then, I have not been able to start from USB Win10 more.

  Had to do another factory reset to 8.1 original, but were unable to move to 10 from there either, despite various attempts.

  After more than 10 of your time attempts updateing/installing, I am very disappointed by the experience (lack of)! Never had this problem with another machine. (and for that matter, what type of contact system stupid lenovo use? When you try to contact them about this, the text field has not even correspond to the description of the problem!)

  All tips and suggestions on how to do a upgrade or install own would be very useful! If you need more details, please ask!

  For posterity, I was able to install Windows 10 now after that I followed the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error and put quick start stop in the power settings (according to here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GY-laVVzdA) and update some drivers who were missing. Can't really imagine it as the only reason for which, since before he had failed several times to install on a complete factory reset and completely update of windows, which were not lacking drivers, then perhaps it was really quick start bit?

  However, I get this DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION constantly on 10 Windows, making it virtually unusable PC. Open a separate question on that.

• Printing problems HP PSC 1210 since upgrading to Windows 7

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I have major problems since upgrading my PSC 1210 previously hassle to Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) on a Dell Latitude laptop.

  1. connect the USB cable from the system causes to restart almost 100% of the time. (Start with her already plugged the same result.) If it restarts not who does not necessarily mean that it will print. Although the USB connection is identified, the document does not print and gets stuck in the queue; by selecting either restart or cancel in the print queue does not delete it. Or turn off and unplug the printer. I have to restart my computer for him to clear, but it still doesn't work. Also, it gets stuck when I choose to print directly to the printer. More recently, I've only managed to print after closing of all the HP of the process in the Task Manager. (The same problem with restarting forced to plug in the USB cable happens sometimes when the analysis rather than printing).

  2. on the occasions I manage to do print documents, does not print black cartridge, despite having just replaced the cartridge and the perflecty black print on the test page.

  I hope you can help because it's incredibly frustrating and tedious, and I really prefer is not to have to replace what was until what Windows 7 a perfectly good printer!

  Thank you

  Welcome to the Forums of HP savemysanity,

  I see by your post that when the connection of the USB cable, the computer restarts, the print jobs stuck in the queue since the upgrade to Windows 7, the black is not printing from applications, but prints black on the self-test page. I can help you with this.

• I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?

  The upgrade to Windows XP Professional edition

  I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?  I want to run the iCloud but need a more recent version to do.  Thank you.

  The first thing to do is to download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor--> http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20

  If your hardware and your applications are compatible with Windows 7 (and there are drivers available for your hardware devices) then you can buy a copy of Windows 7 and install it.  You will have to do what Microsoft calls a "custom installation" which is a facility clean Windows 7 in force and which is to format your hard drive.

  Thus, you must first save all your data (files, documents, music, photos, etc.) on another medium (the best is an external hard drive), and then import this into the computer after the installation of Windows 7.  Microsoft is a tool for this called Windows Easy Transfer, but you can use any method you like.

  Also, you must reinstall all of your applications from their original installation media.  If any of these applications has been downloaded, you'll need a copy of the downloaded installation package or a way to re - download.  You must also make sure that you have all your license keys.

  If you go ahead with this, one thing you need to do before your existing XP installation is more usable is to download and run Belarc Advisor (free).  Belarc is mainly intended to let you know if your security patches are up-to-date, it also gives you a list of license keys for a large part of your installed software.

  PS: Don't waste your time with Vista.  If you can not go to Windows 7, stick with XP.

• Dell XPS Ultrabook 12 has network using WIFI connection problem after upgrade to Windows 10

  I have a Dell laptop XPS Ultrabook 12 that worked fine on Windows 8.1. When Microsoft prompted me to sign up for upgrade to Windows 10, I hesitated, but finally, I signed up for it. In recent months, I have been asked several times upgraded to Windows 10 but I just ignored and delay the update as much as possible, because I need to work with the laptop and I can't afford to have problems after the upgrade.  To my horror, Microsoft forced an install of Windows 10 this morning without allowing me to delay and just after the upgrade, I can't connect to my existing network. I have therefore no access to the internet and I am currently typing this complaint using another PC. I noticed that the laptop can connect to the network automatically when I walk my router but the connection will last only a few minutes, and then he'd cut off. I tried to connect and the message I get is "unable to connect to this network. I checked with "ipconfig/all", wifi said media disconnected. I checked with the Dell support website and downloaded and installed a newer driver, but the problem persisted. Apparently the surf on the internet, this problem is faced with a number and any suggestions to fix do not work (after that I tried).

  Help, please.

  You should be able to go back to 8.1 for Windows by following the instructions here:
