Hello

Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • How do I uninstall Satellite L300 - 11 q Vista and install Windows XP

    Hello!

    Please help: How do I uninstall Windows Vista from my laptop and install Windows XP?
    Should I do something with discs and seized BIOS, or I can just format C drive and then install XP CD-drive?

    How can I make a recovery disk before you uninstall Vista?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    It's very easy if you want to get rid of Vista simply boot from the Windows XP CD, format the HARD drive and install XP on partition C instead of Vista.
    That s it.

    I put t know what laptop have you but the laptop most recent are equipped with the SATA controller and the SATA driver must be installed or included in the CD of Win XP to install XP on the HARD drive. The SATA driver is part of the Manger of Intel Matrix Storage, which can be downloaded from the Intel site or page of the Toshiba driver.

    Just FYI; in this forum, you can find a lot of details in the various messages on the Intel storage Manger. Just use the search option.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001) - remove Vista and install Windows XP

    I'm waiting for delivery of a L300. I also bought XP I want to install XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I never liked.

    I intended to create a Vista recovery disc just to make sure before you start the conversion.
    I was going to do the installation of XP reformat the disk and partition of the HD.
    I was also going to download all of the drivers XP for my model on the Toshiba site, the installation then the XP installation had finished.

    Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

    Hello!

    I think you are right but before doing something I will give you a few words of advice:

    Before you do something on your laptop or begin to install Windows XP, you must create the Toshiba in Windows Vista recovery disk. I know that you n t like Vista but with these discs every time you can restore your laptop factory settings. Independent that you have installed on your laptop. You must start only to drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. The factory settings will be restored in a few minutes and you should not install additional drivers. The disc already contains all the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time! Also if you have problems with your laptop you can test with the settings to determine if it s a software or hardware problem. As you can see it of very useful and easy the recovery disc.

    According to installing XP you need a disc of Microsoft. You must format the HARD drive and you can then create the partitions you want. In your case, I'd a partition for the system and one for your data. The point is that if you need to reinstall Windows XP at a certain point you should not back up the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and to reinstall Windows XP, you need to format only the first partition. Of course, you can do what you want, but then I install Windows on my notebooks.

    Finally and above all drivers that you find on the Australian site of Toshiba, that of right. I think that it shouldn't be a problem to install it so just download all the and the tools of Toshiba. After that, the XP installation is complete and you can do what you want.
    In addition, if you have installed all the drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. Therefore, you can restore your installation of XP every time and I think it can help you save time. I have good experiences with Acronis and I do a picture of my too custom installations.

    I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
    Have fun with your new notebook from Toshiba! :)

    Good bye

  • want to remove vista and install Windows xp

    I want to remove Vista and reinstall XP. My machine came loaded with vista. If I install XP need me drivers XP for my machine is a Lenovo IdeaCentre K210.

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

    Then buy a disc XP and license.

    Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

    Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

    http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

    Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

    Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

  • Helps to remove Windows Vista and install Windows 8

    I recently bought Windows 8 after an online test (aka Upgrade Assistant) from my computer that says it would work. However, when insert the disc of Windows 8, it is said showed an alert/warning that it may work for Windows 7 but can not for Windows Vista or XP. The salesman at Staples said it would work (so the part of why I bought it), but it might remove applications and software I had installed, take it back to factory settings. I'm fine with that, I don't mind re - install Office and my other software. I would be very happy if someone could tell me how to get Windows 8 to install and remove Vista. Here are my computer record compared to Windows 8 requirements:

    Processor - Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU 2.4 GHz

    RAM: 4 GB

    Hard drive: 32 Bit OS, 350GB free 451GB

    Graphics card: DirectX 10, ATI Radeon HD 3450, screen resolution 1024 X 768.

    Your help is greatly appreciated, TIA!

  • How can I remove Linux and install Windows XP?

    XP installation

    How can I install xp on my laptop with xp disc? I gave her family having installed Melissa on it and came back and need xp back on it. I have the key for xp of origin. I prefer not to pay for it again. Thank you.

    It is possible that the recovery partition "can" still be fuctional if Linux has not deleted it. Check the manual of the owner on how to start and start (press key during the initial boot process) the process of recovery. If this does not work then contact the manufacturing of the laptop and see if they can still provide you with recovery media.

  • remove old laptop windows vista and install on a new

    I have a genuine license of windows vista family premium on my old laptop, I got the cd of vista with the old box to laptop dell, I got a new laptop with free back, I want to format my old laptop and sell and install windows vista on my new I read that once windows has been activated it is no longer usable on another computer unless it's an edition of retail and mine is OEM.

    is it possible to remove the license filed the old laptop and save it to the new laptop? or is there something else I can do? or have one to sell the old laptop with vista cd?

    Thank you Walter to be clear and try to help. I appreciate it. (I thought that my request was slightly different to the original post, so I stretched a hope).

    So if my hard drive crashes, I also have to buy Windows again. How Microsoft get away with this _? There was none of this information at the point of sale.

    Hey fingercuts

    No to the last question

    If your drive hard breaks down in the old compaq laptop from hp, you can contact hp compaq and get them to send you a set of vista recovery disks to reinstall vista on a new hard drive install you in the old laptop that you already purchased your license for this old laptop vista

    they do normally for somewhere between 20-$40

    and you are allowed to replace a hard drive of your machine and also to replace ram

    I hope it clears up a little bit for you

    also I wish you a great festive season

    Merry Christmas

  • How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Hello!

    I got help.

    How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Intel based computers, like yours, are usually set to "RAID", which is a superset of "AHCI". Basically, if the BIOS won't let you choose between "IDE mode", "AHCI" and "RAID", leaving in the RAID led to you everything done "AHCI". In this case there is no need to activate the AHCI, as RAID will support an SSD anyway.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
