How do you on what OS a key embedded BIOS is for?

So the hard drive died, I got a new, but the stupid computer came with no COST, so I don't know what version of Windows is supposed to go about it.

I know how to check what the product key is embedded (with RW everything), so is there a way to tell what version of Windows, this key works with?

Hello

There is no public list kept.

Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them what edition of Windows is preinstalled on this model number.

See you soon.

  • Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

    Original title: remove programs

    I think I have a virus.  I see on my computer a few applications with and installed as of 2004.  The computer was purchased in 2007.  When I run it in safe mode, it works fine and all applications have a date of 2007 or newer.  Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

    Hello

    This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
    computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
    for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

  • How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer?

    Original title: completely clueless

    I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance

    Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it.  If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers.  If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.

    With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use.  If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

  • ESX 4.0 - how can you tell what physical NIC vswif is linked to?

    Hi all

    Noobie question here, but how can you tell what NIC card connected to the service console? We have ESX server with 6 NIC cards on all of them and I need to be able to say what NIC is the service console. I googled my brains but no luck. esxcfg-vswitch - l does not show what NIC is on, because, I guess, we lack vCenter.

    I was wondering how do you take off the case for this particular model for a while. I have not met these at my work as a technician, I mainly deal with HPs and valleys, but Toshiba is far the best laptop so I bought it I'm not sure how becoming apart if I install new memory chips live.

    Hello Greg

    To remove the RAM module on the Satellite U200/U205 is not so problematic. First I would like to remember you that you should be very careful because if you have no experience, you can damage something. Most of the plastic parts on the laptops is very sensitive and can be easily damaged. Please be gently.

    Very nice explanation how to expand the memory, you can find in the document of the user s manual on page 156. If you do not have it please download it from http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > support home > downloads.

  • How can you know what remains during a restore?

    I just got a new iphone more than 6 s and its been 2 days and is always restore things. is it possible to know what remains to restore or if its stuck? I was going to upgrade the software on it but can not until its finished. TIA

    Congratulations on your new iPhone 6 s more! I know how you want to finish the installation process and start to use your new iPhone. Let us ensure that we discussed a few steps that can help your situation.

    Restore my device from a backup to iCloud takes a long time

    Restoring a backup can take time because of the size of the backup or the speed of Wi - Fi network. For example, iCloud may take about 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte during a restore process.

    There are several steps that follow:

    • In iOS 8 or later, check the status of the transfer on your device under settings > iCloud > Backup. If the restore process is in progress, the backup setting is gray.
    • Make sure that your device is connected to the Internet with reliable WiFi.
    • Make sure that your device is plugged into a power outlet.
    • Check the Apple progress bar that is displayed during the transfer of a backup.

    If you need help, restore your device from a backup to iCloud

  • How can you find what channel on a PCI card gives what I/O?

    I am completely new to the use of products OR, and I need to set up a Biopotentiostat AFCBP1 of pine in LabVIEW. The machine communicates with a card PCI-MIO-16-4 (PCI-6040E). I was wondering how you differentiate which of the 16 channels controls that on the machine? Thanks in advance.

    Hi iibtc

    In the pine Ciopotentiostat AFCBP1 manual on page 4 there is a table which gives a brief summary of what makes each way on the connector 50 pins. The following pages describe a bit of each of the types of channels.

    Assuming you are using an adapter cable 68 pin to 50 pin to connect your PCI to the unit, channels must match that on the PCI-MIO-16-4.

    Let us know if it works for you!

  • How can you say what works and what is the E

    Just to provide a background of my technical abilities that could help cut to the Chase, I am a web developer who is in IT for more than 20 years, to build my own PC, software junkie, the blah and blah.

    So my old phone broke and a new income opportunity forced me to reach this new device, my 1st "smart phone" and I have a few basic questions and hope to indulge in some of you pro with - until now I really like it and wants to focus on Android development

    But first, is there a task manager or something like that? Maybe I should have a widget?

    Place in the "status bar", which is the Capitol E with arrows next to the bars by the battery icon, oh wait, he just got a 3 g so I guess that's the connection. I would have thought because I couldn't get a connection by the web, while talking to someone, so after the call, I'm past that it connects to a wireless network and since I live in a rural area and have at least with my old phone and the jury still out on this one a bad service area it connects to my wireless network. So it's part of the reason why I wonder about a task manager, because I didn't know where to look to see how it linked.

    And I guess I missed somewhere, but there is a cheat sheet that shows what icons go where and which indicates that they have and their meaning?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Yes you are right on the E and the 3G being the connection. 3G is the fastest, you can get without using wifi. And there are quite a few management tasks out there in the market of the application simply search the words Task Manager and you will find several.

  • How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

    Hello guys,.

    I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

    During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

    "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

    "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

    I used this command to get the following result:

    # vmware - v

    VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

    ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

    If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

    I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

    Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

    Also...

    Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

  • How can you know what folio (resolution) is sent to the different devices?

    Hello

    I want ot know how works the Viewer application tells wich folio downlaod on a specific device, it must. Let me explain.

    We have created 2 sheets having the same content and all the same info (sheet name, name of the publication, etc.) well, all the same information except the product ID because the person that entered the inapp in itunes stores and the android store made a small typo.

    The thing is that on the android devices (we test on samsung Galaxy tab 10-inch (1280 x 800 screen resolution) and the flyer htc) it dowloads ipad folio.

    So my question is, if I do 2 folios and want all android devices to download that we do for android (due to limitations in videos) and want only ipad to download the ipad, do - what I have to do?

    Thank you!

    When you configure the formats associated with Android, you create renditions 1232 x 752 and 1024 x 600 at least. That covers most of the devices, although there are a few new 1024 x 768 Android devices, including the AT & T device impermeable to water. If you create three renditions - 1232 x 752, 1024 x 768 and 1024 x 600 - you will effectively cover all of the great features currently supported. When the phones are supported, and when the iPad3 comes out, you'll want to probably to add more "rendition".

  • Lightsaber effect - how do you think what ILM at - it?

    I don't think that all of us would disagree that the laser swords made by people like Ryan Wieber looks something like lightsaber ILM (lucasfilm).

    Let's look at this in a little more detail...

    I'll ignore the episodes 4 to 6 (1970) because they have not been manufactured using technology, and thus we can hardly hope to achieve these effects as we use technology.

    Thus, the series prequel, episodes 1-3 (2000) is what interests me.

    The Phantom Menace:

    Screen shot 2011-06-01 at 17.48.54.png

    These swords are very organic looking. They seem to be made up of some sort of system that uses the transfer mode "Add", "Screen", which I was using in the two upcoming movies.

    The color on the sabres is sophisticated enough - much more pleasant AND realistic that all 'Color Correction' used in the tutorials for After Effects lightsaber.

    I don't know these tools specifically, but I guarantee you that they did some motion tracking, some roto work (probably automatic because they can afford it) then added some blur and used for blending modes to create the effect. They can come with their own plug-ins Glow, but any light is generated by a blur applied to a shape using a blending mode.

    Here it's not how they did, because you are probably not using the same tools, but how can recreate you the effect as simply and easily as possible. The technique I did a demo in the video is my version of a manifesto years by Alex Lindsay , who is a friend of mine (who who also worked for ILM at the same time). Compositing digital all the traces its roots to John Knoll , who was one of the designers of Photoshop of origin and who also worked at ILM. It's all math applied to the pixels.

    Discover how Photoshop works with channels, colors and blending modes, so you will be able to understand how the After Effects or any compositing application. Simply following tutorials that use a specific plug-in won't teach you not much more than a possible use of the plug-in to achieve the effect shown. Do some experiments with the basics using nothing but the blur, blending modes and channel command (levels, curves, etc.) and you'll be well on your way to being a guru of EI. Then you can refine your technique and your eye so that all your effects are credible.
