• HP G053US 17: WLAN has become very sensitive, hardware ID is not driver provided by HP

  I bought a new laptop, HP17 G053US of Office Depot. It came with Win8 installed OEM.

  It worked very well, no problems with the use of the wireless card. I can't quantify the intensity of the signal received, other than to say it was 3 to 5 bars, identical to a cell adjacent.

  Since then, I have reinstalled Win8.1 Pro x 64. The WLAN now detects more no signal of any wireless routers/modems. Zero to five bars (while the portable computer side still shows 3 of 5).

  I loaded the drivers in the sequence of the BIOS, chipset, then WLAN. Nothing helps.

  It comes from the source , I got the drivers from.

  WLAN HP's driver information:

  Wireless 802.11b/g/n Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE LAN drivers

  Version: 2023.5.130.2015 Rev.A

  Information about drivers in Device Manager:

  Broadcom 802.11n network adapter

  Driver provider: Microsoft

  Driver date: 31/05/2013

  Driver version: 6.30.223.102

  When you view the info driver through the Device Manager, it seems strange that the driver that I downloaded from HP was Realtek, yet the displayed info was Broadcom and Microsoft. So, I checked the hardware ID of the WLAN and verified that it is indeed a Broadcom device.

  ID of material as follows:

  PCI/VEN_14E4 & DEV_4365 & SUBSYS_804A103C & REV_01

  PCI/VEN_14E4 & DEV_4365 & SUBSYS_804A103C

  PCI/VEN_14E4 & DEV_4365 & CC_028000

  PCI/VEN_14E4 & DEV_4365 & CC_0280

  I searched HP and Broadcom, but so far have not been able to find a driver that will support this material in combination with Win8.1 x 64. If there is such a driver, please let me know how I can get it.

  If not, can you suggest anything else I can do to increase the sensitivity of this device? Perhaps some adjustments following it has advanced options of the Device Manager? And any idea when will be released a pilot easier to apply?

  Thank you

  Hello:

  The hardware ID, is what you have to go to identify the exact model of the wireless card.

  It's a brand new model of wireless card Broadcom, and it would be the pilot W8.1 you need to do this.

  You also need the bluetooth driver for this model of the wireless card.

• Advocate for help with fast storage Y500 disk cache

  Question: 1 to Sata and 16 GB mSata SSD drives got rid of all the partitions, and new copy of Windows 8 installed on the 1 TB drive. It is that I'm unable to confirm Intel Rapid Storage is configured to use the mSata SSD as cache drive, and I do not think that it IS configured based on see Win8 Disk Mgmt through that entire SSD (showing about 15 GB) is not allocated and is not be used by anything. Attempts to implement using link below do not work that there is no 'Accelerate' button in the Intel Rapid Storage Technology utility, as shown in the graphic in this post. I even installed the chipset driver before the util Rapid Storage according to the readme instructions I found out of the Intel site.

  http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/the-Guide-on-how-to-reformat-REPARTITION-an...

  To answer this forward - there no option in my BIOS RAID, as seems to be the solution for other IdeaPad models.

  Call the #1 to Lenovo Support - Tech first asked me to set up RAID and after having informed him there was no BIOS RAID option, he informed me of the installation of the equipment for caching SSD drive was fully automatic and needed no software. I found this suspicious and later decided to call again to ask for the check disk cache is enabled...

  Call #2 to Lenovo Support - after a period of 90 min or so call and another suggestion to set up RAID, even if there is no other choice, the technology has suggested that "the only way to get the configured disk cache is to return the laptop to the warehouse for them charge the appropriate partitions.» I asked if he has ever heard about any other machine ever which were to be sent to the factory to get a piece of hardware working in the event of corruption of data/partition say hard drive, or if someone wanted to upgrade their hard drive. He said: "no, Sir, but it seems that you have more experience than me, so I'm not sure what we can do besides have return you.»

  Am I the only one that sounds ridiculous? I have worked on 100 computers and never once had to send a back machine to load the drivers/utils to make a component work - they always had drivers available. And it is a plain jane Windows 8 install, nothing special about it.

  I am reaching my wits end, I lost a ton of time with refills and OS configurations. I give up on the mSata drive all together? I have a time difficult swalling that I MUST have Win8 Lenovo OEM load in order to be able to use all of my material.

  Any help would be REALLY appreciated!

  I think that I figured this out finally. Here's what I did:
  1 put flat as well the 1 TB drive and the 16 GB SSD, no flying over partitions, all unallocated space.
  2A took the mSata SSD out of the machine before I tried Win8 installed, (leaving it in there, the windows carve 350 MB partition on the SSD drive for a reason even if I chose the 1 TB drive to settle).
  3. install Win8 (I have the Technet version).
  4. updated all drivers Lenovo Web site except the Intel RST util, and I hooked version of NVIDIA driver for my video GeForce GT 650 M.
  5. do you have all Windows updates.
  6 clogged mSata SSD back in.
  7. download and install the 64-bit version of memory Cache Express (64-bit) that I found here:

  Cache Express downloads

  8. rebooted as guest

  When I came back to the top, I saw my SSD had a partition created and I can only ASSUME since I didn't see any Cache Express installation error and he ruled out a partition on the SSD drive to work. Don't know how I can check it really worked, but it's wayyyyyy closer I got after working on it for a week. I SiSoftware Sandra and I ran a disk performance report before the installation of the Express Cache, so I want to try to run another report and compare.

• Install Windows 8.1 own

  Hello, I have a X 1 carbon 2014 supplied with licensed OEM Pro Windows 8.1. I have a clean to get rid of bloatware and partitioning scheme Lenovo installation. I have two questions:

  (1) where can I get the installation ISO official Microsoft disc?

  (2) I need a product key to use when installing? I've heard of Windows 8 keys are now integrated in the BIOS somehow.

  Thanks in advance

  Nice day.

  1. contrary to Win7, there is no download link for Win8/8.1, by restrictions of Ms. There are methods for obtaining an image (?) Installable Win8.1 to Win8 installation work, but I have no experience with this process.

  2. Since your Gen2 carbon is with Win8.1Pro OEM, the key is embedded in the UEFI/BIOS (MS OA3.0) and must be picked up during the installation as long as versions match: std std or pro to pro.

  Kind regards.

• HP laptop laptop 15-s104na: replace the HDD with SSD Crucial

  I have a HP/Compaq 15 - s104na with 2213 motherboard and BIOS F.24 with a 500 GB Toshiba HARD drive running Win8.1 (OEM).  Also have an M500 Crucial 240 GB SSD (firmware MU05) that Win7 worked in an old laptop Lenovo.  Thought I would try installing the SSD in laptop computer to speed things up a bit.

  However, although I have been able to clone HARD drive SSD (SSD connected via a USB/SATA bridge), when I installed it in the laptop, it didn't start.  The BIOS has been recognizing the Crucial SSD in the Boot Options, but then failed to boot from it returning 0xc0000225 (required is not connected).  Running the Recovery Manager HP of DVD has failed, too, is not surprising that DISKPART > LIST DISK did not show the SSD drive.

  Out of curiosity, I then tried a fresh install of the OS of a download of MS 8.1 using a generic key that gave the same result - not found disk.

  So, I guess there is something inconsistent between the motherboard for laptop and SSD Crucial.  Runs the compatibility check tool SSD Crucial returns zero compatible solutions, even if I didn't require any special drivers SATA SSD.  Looks like I'll stick with the existing HARD drive (which, to be fair, is not otherwise slow...!)

  Update my previous problem of BIOS without recognizing an SSD Crucial of M500.

  Person to HP or Crucial has been able to provide a solution, but now, I found a good solution to workaround where I installed the SSD drive in the optical drive Bay, leaving the original HARD disk.  Now the BIOS recognizes the SSD, and I did a clean install of Windows 10 on it as my C drive.  I leave my data on the HARD drive as my D drive.  Fortunately, I don't want an internal optical drive.

  So, I now have the benefits of an SSD while also having a lot of data storage space!

  Hope this can help others avoid hours of frustration...

• Envy 15-j000 Quad ed: Windows 8 recovery USB and series Win8 OEM BIOS. question

  Hello. IM currently living in South Korea and had to format my laptop.

  Ive lost my usb backup and was about to order the recovery usb kit but its only for USA / Canada with more than $50 price tag

  I remember when I did the format with my usb kit,

  I have not enter windows cd - key, so im guessing if it was the BIOS on product key

  Is there a way to confirm this? while I don't have to order the recovery kit.

  and I only need to download the OEM of Windows 8 in line with the formatting?

  Hello:

  If your laptop comes with the W8 then the OEM key is in the BIOS.

  You can try the W8 file from this link and make your own regular W8 installation disc.

  It is supposed to work with OEM product key in the BIOS of your PC.

  https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSn dyTFNFMzg/edit? PLI = 1

  Then use this tool to transfer the ISO to a DVD file. The tool also performs the bootable file.

• Re: Qosmio X 870 - Win8 on a separate partition

  Hello
  I have a Qosmiox870 and that means that I also have a Microsoft windows8 (OEM) product key

  I have problems with conflicting devices drivers... and to grow the best way, I need to install a new fresh windows8 version on a separate partition. So on 1 windows I have 1 driver installed on the other windows of the second driver... so I just choose to start windows witch I need while I'm working.

  BUT... I don't have an ISO for windows... I was just able to create 3 recovery DVD with the backup software pre-installed in Toshiba.

  I can't download windows 8 from the microsoft Web site, because the product key I have is a Windows OEM,... to prevent people from abusing OEM, microsoft product only allows you to download the windows 8 ISO...

  So where can I get an iso of Windows that would work with my key?

  Toshiba offers notebooks with Windows preinstalled. It's not only BONE. It is the recovery image that contains the OS, drivers, tools and utilities. It is a kind of package. Preinstalled recovery image is activated and should not be enabled also.

  Every laptop owner should create the installation of recovery disk with pre-installed software. On this point, the story ends there.
  Toshiba does not provide any recovery by downloading image, and you can't get original recovery iso file as image. No morals and Toshiba. All you can get is original install disc of recovery, but you can create it yourself.

  Your key belongs to the recovery image pre-installed so that you cannot use in case you try to install Win8 using original installation of Microsoft disk.

  Indeed the USB issue seems to be related to the missing drivers.

  You must install this driver USB 3.0:

  In addition, you will need to make sure that this chipset driver has been installed too.
  The laptop supports the graphics chip ATI and AMD chipset. The chipset driver is the driver of ATI graphics card and this is why you must make sure that this driver would be installed too.

• HP ENVY Sleekbook 6 PC - C8B53PA #ABG - OEM Activation

  Hi all

  I have a new laptop listed above and I am trying to install Windows 8 Professional so I can attach it to a field.

  The problem is that whenever I have install from media Windows 8 Professional (copied on a USB key), it is automatically installed and active as the core of Windows 8, which cannot join a domain.  At no time invited me to enter my product key Windows 8 Professional.

  I think it's due to data OEM Activation 3.0 is stored in the BIOS or somewhere similar.

  How disable Activation OEM (or remove these activation data) so I can install Win8 Pro?

  See you soon,.

  Matt

  Have you tried to do an upgrade within Windows 8 to join professional?

  Go to the start-up and upgrade research.
  Select the category of settings and open "Get more features with a new edition of Windows".
  Here, select already have a product key and enter your product key of Windows 8.

  As long the COMPUTER service company allows upgrades to produce, then this should unlock Windows 8 Professional using your product key.

  To the best of my knowledge, HP does not actively block upgrade to the operating system. They may require the original OS to be handed on for purposes of support, but the system is up to you to any software you want on it. A COMPUTER service with a domain policy would be the only factor limiting.

  Let me know what happens.

• Windows 8.1 clean install with key OEM of Windows 8

  Hello! I have a HP Probook 450 with Windows preinstalled 8. I want to Win 8.1, but I want to do a clean install. Which means: insert the Win DVD 8.1 (I downloaded the .iso on internet image file), formatting of the disc and the last 8.1 Windows installation.

  Will this work? I read that my key Win 8 OEM, which is hardcoded in the BIOS does not allow me to install Win 8.1. Users of the Forum say here and now that it is possible to perform a clean installation to win 8. How is with Win 8.1?

  I did it.  It is possible with elitebook turn...

  You will need:

  1. ISO 8.1 Windows

  2. the default Installation 8.1 Windows key (http://pastebin.com/Cs9GUhyT)<---If this="" link="" is="" gone,="" you="" can="" find="" it="" using="">

  3. your OEM of Windows 8 key (you can use the Belarc Advisor software to find, http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html. ) You can also use the Microsoft Toolkit which can enter this information for you as well)

  4 USB with at least 8 GB. (You can use a micro SD card, but it will be SLOW)

  5. Creator of YUMI (pendrivelinux.com)

  My instructions are summarized by several forum posts (one source for more details http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/48434-Windows-8-1-Clean-Install-Guide). So this point begins after you have recovered your win8 OEM key.

  Instructions

  1. you need to Download the ISO of Windows 8.1 (can be done in several ways.  If you have a key to Win8 retail, which will make life easier, otherwise look for online sources) http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57608376-285/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8.1-iso/.

  [Basically, download the windows installation 8 get started, then cancel immediately and download the windows installation 8.1.]  This is the way to circumvent the application of key windows 8.1]

  (2. After downloading the ISO, use YUMI usb creator and create a USB bootable with windows ISO 8.1).  I had problems with the boot from USB, it seems that there is a lack of design, but maybe just mine.  Let me know if you can start.  If you can not, you will need to remove the USB (1-3 mm) SLIGHTLY.  Basically, my USB does not get to bottom to start.

  3 install windows using keys to default installation 8.1.  Your OEM key will not work.  This key is only for the installation, but you will need your OEM win8 for activation key after the installation of windows.

  4. when everything is installed, go to the activation of windows , or press win + break (you may need to use a function key (fn)).  Change your product key of entering your key OEM win8.

  5. I suggest that if your laptop has softpaq Installer to your computer's drivers, install first.  Then, you can select software and drivers you want to install and do everything at once without having to download one at a time.

  6 finishing

  Let me know if you have any problems, I can walk you through it I took two days to finally understand.  I hated doing windows 8, all updates, and then update windows 8.1.

  I also recommend you only install tasks easeus backup.  You can install all your drivers and programs and then use this program to create a disk image.  My disk image is about 20 GB which is located on a secondary partition (so if your SSD crashes, it's all over well), for fast food.  It takes about 20 minutes for the backup.  Then 20 minutes to restore the disk image I think fast enough.

I use Debian based Linux flavors, but I've only used the 32-bit versions on PC with BIOS (not UEFI). I never put in place a system dual boot, I usually just run Linux and one at a time unless I am running from a USB key. The laptop is running Win 8, basically, as he came. I have not updated to 8.1 Win. I have not moved all the files on the laptop yet.

  Issues related to the:

  1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

  2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

  3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

  4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

  5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

  6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

  7. should I have the Windows product key to reinstall? If Yes, where is it? (no sticker on the bottom of the laptop)

  17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

  I'm sorry that there are so many questions, I always try to understand all my options before doing anything permanent. Thanks in advance for any help :)

  1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

  No it won't be a "clean" installation This will be a facility of factory settings. i.e. Windows pre-installed drivers and preinstalled software such as McAfee. Make sure that you install Dell Backup and Recovery version 1.7.1.2 before using it. See here for more details:

  

  You need a DVD of resettlement to clean install, call Support Dell technique for her.

  2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

  USB recovery will recreate the system partition.

  3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

  You will have problems this, unless you can get several disks in your system and have a Linux hard drive and a hard disk of Windows separately.

  4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

  No it does not work like that, you will not be able to boot from the partition recovery making it useless. However, you can start Recovery USB.

  5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

  No, as mentioned previously this is not not a "clean" installation and drivers and software preloaded such as McAfee will be included.

  6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

  Not unless you get a DVD to reinstall and then install all your software on 1 large Windows partition with nothing else on the disc, then use Dell backup and restore. Or you buy a premium version of Dell backup and restore.

  7. should I have the Windows product key to reinstall? If Yes, where is it? (no sticker on the bottom of the laptop)

  Integrated sound in BIOS here:

  

  8. can I use the product key or from backup disks to run Win 8 in a virtual machine under Linux?

  No, you cannot license is OEM and the virtual machine has a virtual BIOS which will be recognized as another computer. It will not work and you will have problems to activate product. Media created with DBaR does not work on a virtual Dell BIOS or not.

  9. can I run Windows on a Flash DRIVE (or SD) as I can with Linux?

  N °

  10. can I install Win 8 to an external hard drive?

  N °

  10. is it better to shrink the Windows partition and reinstall Windows on a partition?

  Its usually best to clean install. However, it is the DVD of resettlement.

  11. how small the Windows partition can be?

  It depends on how much you want to add. At least 20 GB however.

  12. Windows will be able to access the/home partition? If not, is there a way to set up a separate partition for/home on Windows, Linux can access? Or do the / Home partition readable for Windows?

  You can make a partition for Windows and Linux to share.

  13. do not set up the dual boot somehow cancel my warranty on the hardware of the laptop?

  No, the warranty is for the hardware and not software. Dell you normally would have to restore the system to factory settings if help you hollow troubleshooting Windows so only. They will still carry the material well.

  14. If I end up doing a boot of Linux and using Wine for Windows software, which will void my warranty?

  N ° Ditto as above.

  15 is it my laptop to change any empty not compatible equipment (possibly wireless card) the warranty on the material of the opening?

  He should be ok, as long as you don't damage it. Usually, these interchangeable parts are readily available. Confer with the user manual at the parts remove.

  16. given that the laptop came with Win 8, is it possible to install older versions of Win on it instead of 8?

  Windows 7 64 bit can be installed, but you will need a new Windows license unless it came with Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional (in this case, you can use downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional). You may have trouble with older versions.

  17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

  I don't have much experience with wine, but it is not as simple as copying a .exe for IE11.

• XPS One 2710 - Win8 reinstall disk question

  Hello. I received a disk with my 2710 XPS that says it's OS "Already installed on your computer" Dell - W8 64 bit recovery media...

  On the flap of the paper for adults is what I thought to be the license key to reinstall the win8. However, when I popped this disc in another computer win7 and booted from it, I offered to install win8 and asked to enter key which is 5 x 5 digits. But key printed on the envelope of the disc isn't this format at all - it xx-xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxx format, only the third section has five entries.

  Now the area where you meant to enter the key, he said do not enter the dashes between the sections, that they will be registered automatically... and the results is that it divides my 'key' in different places, that what is printed on the disc for Adults (envelope) and anyway I have not 5 x 5 is 25 digits to enter. What gives?

  I'm worried that if my Dell XPS 2710 must be reinstalled fresh win8, I would be stuck with that. And a related question, am I allowed to a PC only, or more than one? I guess it comes to OEM disc and I hear OEM disks allow more than one PC to be installed and activated, good or bad? How will I know?

  I looked in the settings of win8 and in computer properties I can see product ID and check if windows is activated (on) I see that the last five letters of the key. I note that I am not the first owner of the computer and I don't know if there wasn't a tag attached with the key. In any case, I don't see any this label.

  Hi vanDivX,

  Welcome to the Dell Community!

  Product key of Windows 8 for your XPS 2710 system previously injected on the motherboard. So, while the reinstallation of Windows 8 on this system, you will not be prompted to enter a product key. Windows automatically identifies the product key on the motherboard.

  See the following link for more information about the Windows 8 product key: http://dell.to/1c1Kzwt

  If you want to install Windows 8 on another computer, you will need to buy a different product key for it. If you have two Dell systems with the same version of operating system installed, then an OEM disc will work on both computers.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

• Question about the OEM version and it is allowed.

  Original title: win7 oem

  I bought computers from our provider of professional it services installed win7 and win8.1. While they inspected the CD cover license, the license is OEM version. I asked our computer service provider and he said if we buy a computer that comes pre-installed with a BONE, it's not serious. Please confirm what I already paid for the license keys.

  You can legally use a PC with a pre-installed Windows in any environment version: Office, home, football club, anywhere.

  If I understand correctly, the OEM licenses are sold to manufacturers to use for a large number of PC. They are not transferable. If your computers are transferable OEM licenses whereas they are probably pirated. After a while, they are likely to become invalid.
