Hello! I am wanting to do a clean install on Acer Travelmate P663-M.

I'm not very advanced in computer knowledge, but would like to know if there is a way to re - install the windows oem 7 and 8.1 which was preinstalled on my laptop - install the same effect as a cleaning. I have already tried to create an iso file on a usb flash drive but that you are unable to start, so hope that there is a way to get either win7 (preferred) or win 8.1 to restart as of origin? If I could save my data in the process that would be great but it is not essential to have backups.

Thank you

Hi ironfly - I did a reinstall of win 8 (the only one he would let me do) of Windows 8. then used the acer recovery management tool to load windows 7. then, all sorted, thank you very much for your help! Sincerely, alan

  • Impossible to Vista Home Basic to Vista Home Premium. Don't want to do a clean install. How to get around this problem?

    just bought an upgrade to Vista Home Premium with service pack 1.  I'm upgrading to Vista Home Basic.  The program tells me that the upgrade has been disabled and he wants to do me a clean install.  I really don't want to do a clean install.

    If your installed Vista Home Basic has recently installed Service Pack 2 > uninstall Vista Service Pack 2 for him >

    Do your upgrade to Home Premium Service Pack 1 > then redownload/reinstall Vista Service Pack 2 again.

    And make sure your Vista installed and the upgrade of Vista are the versions both either 32-bit or 64-bit, depending on what is your Vista Basic.

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Info is if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit Vista.

  • Which applications and drivers get I need once I clean installed my Acer Aspire One 725 Windows 10?

    I already upgraded my Acer Aspire One 0725-10 Windows.  However, it seems to be an incompatibility with some of my courses installed applications and drivers that several questions.  Microsoft support reviewed my concerns and concluded that a clean install of windows 10 would be the way to go.  Before doing this, it would be probably good get applications and drivers that will be needed after the installation.  If anyone can provide me with a list, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Most of the drivers will be updated by windows update when connected to the web.

    on the applications, I think that Acer launch Manager is required to use the Fn keys:

    http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/application/LaunchManager/LaunchManager_Acer_8.00.8101_W81x6...

    but... I read some discussions on the issues on windows 10 with Acer launch manager, worth a try to install.

    to check if all the drivers are installed and work properly, after verifying that all updates are installed:

    Key of the Windows logo + x
    Click on Device Manager

    If the yellow exclamation point is present
    Double click on it
    Choose the tab "Details".

  • Want 4 - 1195 ca (clean install Windows?)

    If you read this tries to help, I thank you for any information you can provide.

    I want to install my own copy of Windows 8 on my laptop 4-1195 ca want. No offense, but I hate the pre-installed version loaded with a lot of unwanted applications. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing works!

    -J' tried to install it directly from Windows itself, but whenever he starts in the application of the installer, I get an error similar to the following: your computer has encountered a problem and needs to restart, we are just collecting data error.

    -J' then tried Windows 8 boot from a USB key. It give me an error, but it does not detect any disk for installation!

    -J' even tried to install from the CD in an external CD/DVD drive, and it does not detect either any player!

    I even repeated procedures with a copy of Windows 7!

    The reader might be locked by you guys to install a personal copy? That would be terribly disappointing.

    Hello:

    There are a few things you should be aware of (or maybe you already).

    The W8 product key is encrypted in the BIOS. This change was a result of further tightening of the misuse of Microsoft windows product keys.

    One of the problems with that is that you can't use any installation media other than OEM of Windows so the key to product installation media will be validate install it and activate it. In the old days, you can change the product key. Now, you can't.

    Second, the W8 reason probably can not 'see' the disc is due to his need driver SATA for your late model.

    So, if you use OEM W8 installation media to clean installation of the operating system, you should be fine. If you're not, then it probably will not work because most of the product.

    If you need a version English W8 x 64 OEM installation file, let me know and I'll post a link to the download of this media.

    But if your question only sees the HARD drive, then get a usb flash drive, download and extract the files from the link below on the USB.

    You can files from the first question listed (64-bit).

    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23060&ProdId=2101&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%208 * & DownloadType=.

    With your installation of W8 media and usb flash drive inserted in the usb ports, start from the W8 installation media. Select the Drive Options - Advanced option. Select the option load a driver, and now SATA files on the USB flash drive should be visible. If you check the box, it includes only the sata driver that is compatible with the chipset of your notebook.

    Continue on and W8 should install (if you use an OEM file).

    Hello:

    In addition to what Erico posted, you must:

    1. make sure legacy mode is enabled in the BIOS and safe start is disabled.  Windows 7 is not compatible with secure startup.  Check out this guide for which parameters to change.

  • Cannot open the windows, want to do a clean reinstall of Vista.

    Drive a Dell Inspiron 530 s, silver, low mileage (2.5 years)

    BACKGROUND

    After making a few updates (iTunes, Java, Windows security), the entire system went down.

    You try to re - start I couldn't open the windows. Repair of the system would not turn on, and I kept circling of "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    Any suggestions on my screen in question this system repair or - of course - the system restore. Which is nice, if you can get Windows to open, but...

    The instructions for starting a "CD or DVD" switch and put with the disk (provided by Dell with computer) were not working. Well, he tried to work, but turned around again to "a problem has detected...". »

    MEASURES TAKEN

    She drew out to the Geek Squad. Said diagnosis all the hardware is dandy, it's a software problem.

    I brought her home today and now I want to do a clean install of Vista. (Makes one of the Windows platform, less than a year, no problem.)

    SO FAR, I HAVE...

    Tried to boot Windows from the disc. Nope

    Looked all over Kingdom come to get instructions on what to do next.

    I have my files on a portable hard drive, which is not a problem.

    There must be a way forward here - can't be that hard, right? But I don't find it.

  • Satellite L30: XP Clean install - used to work, now it doesn't

    Hello

    First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks to all those who want to contribute their thoughts. Now, the problem more in detail...

    * Summary *.
    Laptop comes with Vista. New installation of XP & drivers - all is well for more than a year. XP has become problematic, re-installed XP - same problems exist with clean install.

    * Prelude: *.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L30, which came with Vista installed. After some disappointment with Vista, I decided to "upgrade" to XP. The XP installation went without a hiccup. Trying to find drivers for all that took time, as Toshiba is no longer distributes the drivers for the L30 model (at least not on the version of their Web site). I kept (and still have) copies of all drivers, I finally installed to get the laptop with XP works successfully, and everything was fine.

    * The problem starts: *.
    I had been using this setup for over a year, until recently, and suddenly, the laptop has become problematic (i.e. suspended in certain situations, be slow and usually does not). I have concluded that the laptop had probably lost power during the installation of Windows updates or update had problems and had become unstable. After trying different techniques to try to restore the system (System Restore, chkdsk, etc.), without success, I decided I want to do a clean install of XP.

    * Get your fingers Ready puzzle: *.
    Using the same XP CD, I used for the first installation, I begin to re - install XP. All right, until the installation reached "Record components", where it crashes. By pressing the power button to restart the computer laptop re-lance installation and installation is completed thanks to the end (perhaps because the installer reported that caused the coup be dried the second time around?). This behavior is now repeatable every time I have to format the drive and install XP. In any case, XP is now installed and boot - but guess what? It shows the exact behavior as well as before the clean install. He is suspended for the same thing and being generally does not. I continued to install all the drivers that I used the first time around, but still the same problem. (may be interesting to note that safe mode do not present any of this behavior and works very well).

    * The plot thickens *.
    So now, I think that it is likely to be a hardware / firmware issue, as it is set up exact same software. In the context of spending + long + time trying to figure out, I move using the Toshiba recovery disc that re - installs Vista and now everything works fine, no problem with anything (well, except that it's Vista). I installed all the available Windows updates updated all drivers and ghosts and then the hard drive, so I can go back at least to a configuration of work relatively easily. Thinking that this procedure + may + have restored balance for the setup of hardware, I re - install XP, but it's yet to be a problem in exactly the same way. I'm puzzled.

    * What to do now *.
    Personally, I prefer to use the cell phone as a Clipboard that is expensive to use it with Vista installed. I ordered some RAM so that he will be able to run Windows 7, but I don't wouldn't really be content of this workaround. By far, XP is the OS of choice, but I do not know what path to take then get back to work.
    I'd like to hear your 2 cents. Thanks for reading the above, I know it was long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Ian

    I put t think that the problem is related to the lack of driver Toshiba.

    First parrowdice trying to install Win XP and Win XP does not support the VAP (value added package). VAP is released just for Vista and Win 7.

    I think that the Intel Matrix Storage Manager is also not necessary I think it might be something wrong with the hardware. Maybe HARD drive?

    Download the tool called disk HARD Drive Fitness Test. This tool creates a bootable CD that would go to a HARD disk check, I think that should help to check if a HARD drive is affected.

  • How to do a clean install on my Equium A300D

    Hello

    I got an Equium A300D-13 x which runs vista Home premium. I bought it to PC world a few years ago. I want to sell it and I want to do a clean install to put it back to its original state. I removed all my data on an independent hard drive already. I read the virtual manual supplied and he said to start pc and press the F8 key to access the Advanced Boot Options menu and then do a repair or something? I'm sure it will be clear if I am still here! I've always been able to remember another high office I've owned to enter in safe mode using F8... This seems a little weird. Can someone please advise.

    I also had a 'local disc Q' appear in the MY COMPUTER section about two months ago. I don't know how it got there and I do not have the permission to access. I tried to change the owner of the file, but I'm not allowed? Can someone explain this please?

    I'm afraid that the security on my laptop has been violated somehow, I'm having other problems that relate to some very technically accomplished of not nice people.

  • HP Envy 17: Clean install Windows 10 without upgrade.

    Hello

    First of all, I am very happy with my new HP laptop first, it's amazing!

    Now my problem. The laptop came with 8.1 Windows preinstalled with a free upgrade to Windows 10, however, I want to do a clean install Windows 10 without going through the process of upgrading (or would defy a 'clean' install), without additional software (I have already downloaded all the drivers and software from HP Web site) and I wanted to make the installation of the driver/software myself.

    Now, I had the key OEM with software, however...

    I read several threads related to this problem, the recommended steps were required to use the creator of media, but that won't install it Windows 8.1? I know that I coud after upgrade, but I wanted to avoid this step

    In any case to create support for Windows 10? If I clean install 10 Windows with a retail key, I'll lose the built in recovery?

    Thank you very much for your kind attention,

    Best regards

    Francisco

    To answer your questions:

    (1) MS media creation tool: Activation in Windows 10 - Windows help offers several options: to upgrade this PC now, create installation media (download the ISO file), create an installation (DVD or USB) media.  Choose the option that suits you - understand that upgrading PC, this option does NOT create an ISO file or installation media.

    (2) lose the built-in recovery.  IF you ask on the resumption of Win8x HP - then Yes.  That no longer works after upgrade Win10.

    (3) retail vs upgrade and recovery: Version does not matter, you will lose HP Win8x recovery without worrying.

    (4) retail key - you get ONLY a touch of detail if you buy a copy at Win10 retail.  The version proposed for the free update does not product keys for activation.  You MUST install a version upgrade on top of an existing installation of Win7/8/8.1 so that it will activate.  If you install directly from media Win10 Upgrade, starting from the media and did an install clean, not only will win 10 then NOT activate, right now, it will NEVER activate.  MS talking about providing an option IN THE FUTURE, to allow people to enter a Win7/8/8.1 existing product key - but this feature is not present today.

  • HP envy 14-2090eo: in what order should drivers installed better when you do the clean install

    Hi HP experts...

    I want to do a clean install of my Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, and I've always used my recovery disks when it was necessary to format and subsequently updated all the drivers in the support section and drivers HP, but it is a slow process, and I'm not even in what order I should update drivers when it that way or the other , and often a message jumped ud saying ' the driver is not properly installed - try again or the driver is installed correctly. But as mentioned, I want to do a clean install with my Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit disk and would like some experts advise on order in which drivers must be installed. Can anyone help?

    Best regards hpenvy1

    Hello:

    The order generally recognized installation of the driver is:

    1 install the chipset driver and restart.

    2. install the graphics driver and restart.

    3. install the audio driver and restarted.

    4 install the ethernet driver.

    5. install the wireless driver.

    Then you can install a driver you want.

    I also do a practice to update to the latest service pack before installing the drivers, if any.

  • New R13 - R7 - 372T: Tools missing after the clean install

    Hello!

    I got my R13 - R7 - 372T today and I want to do a clean install of Windows 10. I checked the Acer site and saw that most of the drivers are available on the download page, I also found the abApps (Portal of Acer and) download ( https://www.cloud.acer.com/ops/downloads) where I need those who one day but its seems that some of the pre-installed tools/applications are missing. How can I reinstall the following tools if I wipe my device? (I have already created a backup of the recovery partition but I need regular installation files):

    -Acer care center (edit: I found a link for verification of compatibility to download it here: http://www.acer.com/ac/en/MY/content/software-acer-care-center )

    -Acer Hover access (edit: found the link for flight stationary access here: http://go.acer.com/?id=18022#_ga=1.267060686.114307318.1458377954 but not sure of the version)

    -Dolby X 2 Audio Windows App

    -Acer Audio utility invert (makes that actually do?)

    I'm a little disappointed that Acer does not offer those by convenient download as the rest of the drivers and application of quick access for example. So where can I download those, or how I at least check out them of the recovery media that I created?

    Edit: Looks like after some experiences of most of the tools I mentioned is unnecessary (so I removed them from the list) or available by searching around for a while. However the 2 above mentioned utilities are still missing.

    Thank you!

  • 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.
