How to connect a new computer to win 8 to an existing home network

I currently have several computers in the House (3 win 7 and 1 vista) and different multimedia devices connected wireless and wired to a home network (not a homegroup because vista and media devices).  I don't see the new computer network.  Especially I can't find the instructions of where to start.  Very frustrated and thinking of sending the new machine back.

I think, for the PC, it will have to make sure that it is on the same WORKING group as the others (by assigning the same way you would in Windows Vista or 7).  Bring up Windows Explorer if you can right click on COMPUTER, then properties and you will have access to rename the computer or change the group work.  If you have sharing turned on, you should be able to map drives to any actions you have intended.  I have a Windows 2003 domain home since I am running, among others, two Web sites and my own mail server.  WIN8 Pro does not support areas, but easily supports working groups.  I am able to see everything that I need my network at this point.

What types of devices you also connect to?

  • new computer with win 7 pro when it is connected to a Flash drive or external hard drive poster, you have currently not authorized to access this folder or location is not available

    There are now 4 computers in front of me.

    Two are laptops 17 inch hp (consumer)

    Two are workstations mobile hp 17 inch (company)

    On the consumer books, I can view the files on my external hard drive 1 to and 1 GB player.

    On the company workstation (mobile), I'm not able to view the files on the hard drive or flash drive.

    I need your help so that I can save files from the internal hard drive of the mobile platform of book z hard disk external.  And I need to be able to reconnect the external drives and readers to the Zbook mobile workstation to transfer files to transfer flash.

    These are the pop ups that appear for each when displaying of readers by opening my computer:

    H:\ is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    The tabs are ReadyBoost, previous Versions, Quota, customize, general, tools, hardware, sharing, security

    By clicking on security of advances and then permissions then continue and then change my name owner or administrator... both methods result in the same access denied result once again.

    I came across this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/00d04415-2b2f-422c-b70e-b18ff918c281 is this something I need to study and learn before I am able to connect and use an external drive or flash?  Or is there another problem?  If the answer is in this link, do I have to put emphasis on and why wasn't windows 7 configured so that it is easy to use external drives as in win xp and win 8?  Are all usb ports do not or all drivers of failing or is it a software problem all?

    I was not able by trial and error to display all files on any hard drive or external flash on the two books of z of mobile workstation.

    Then I went to the flash drive.

    Left click on the flash drive produces a pop-up with title bar G:\

    You don't have permission to access this folder.

    Click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.

    After clicking on continue it opens another pop-up with title bar G:\

    You have been denied permission to access this folder.

    To access this folder, you will need to use the Security tab.

    When clicking on the Security tab he opens a new pop with the title bar: removable disk (g) properties

    The tabs are general, tools, hardware, sharing, ReadyBoost, customize

    He did not indicate what to do next.

    (3) contacted HP support

    (4) checked for malware using microsoft security essentials, malwarebytes and spybot on each mobile workstation

    (5) updated drivers using HP support assistant on each computer

    (6) windows update the device HP support assistant on each computer

    How do two new computers with win 7 pro can be connected to external drives that allow to view the files as they do with win xp and win 8 automatically?

    How can I access my files on the external hard disk and flash the mobile workstation book z?

    The specifications for the mobile workstation of zbook are:

    Operating system: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1

    Microprocessor: Intel core i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.7 GHz

    Moemory system: 16 GB of memory on 2 1600 MHz dimm

    Graphics device 1: Nvidia Quadro K3100M

    Graphics device 2: Intel HD 4600 graphics card

    Hard drive 1: SCSI Disk Device

    C: 683.42 (613,62 free go-go)

    D: 12.21 GB (1,3 GB free)

    E: 1.99 GB (1.97 GB free)

    The hard drive is a seagate 1 TB drive that works very well

    The flash drive is a 1 GB drive which works very well

    This problem has been resolved.

    Right-click all methods have not access external external hard drives and flash drives.

    Sharing, permissions, ownership, administrative changes, all method all failed.

    This problem has been resolved by higher HP product support.  Other levels of support were not able to diagnose the problem or fix.

    The problem has been resolved by:

    (1) determine that he was not a NTFS problem

    (2) using the msconfig to isolate a single service

    When the unique service has been disabled the files on any external drives have been available.

    The service of the problem was the HP Client Security.

    This HP Client Security in its default value is set to deny access.

    Then right-click on the drive and change the permissions, ownership, to administrators, using everyone etc. will fail because they are all trumped by the HP Client Security that is set by default to deny access.

    When that client security is changed the drives become available.  It is not information about this when using the computer and this can be learned by trial and error.

    I hope this helps all those who have z book 17 mobile workstations or HP computers that are equipped with client security.

  • New computer has Win 8.1, old computer has Vista - two different worlds?

    Transfer files from my old computer Vista on my new computer with 8.1 was a mess (Windows Easy Transfer has failed, Dell help do everything for me).

    Now is the time to throw the old computer (Vista), but want to make a backup of the data before deleting.  My question is this:

    If I do a backup of my Windows Vista desktop in the center of backup and restore that data can be read on a Win OS 8.1?  If not, is there another way to save old computer in case a vital file did not have its way on the new computer?

    Hello

    How to backup your data in Vista is to go to where your data is stored (documents, music, etc.) > right click on what you want to record > place your mouse cursor on send to > have a Memory Stick or USB hard drive connected > Send your data to that.

    Go to Windows 8/8.1 > open the Explorer file in the bar of > have plugged USB > copy the respective folders data files there.

    It's the old way to transfer data between different operating systems, or to make a backup in your case

    You can choose one of the following 2 options:

    Option 1: simila in the image above

    Connect the printer to the router,

    Connect a PC to the router (not wireless computer)

    Option 2:

    Connect a PC to the router (not wireless computer)

    Connect the printer to the wireless router

    Option 1 makes the computer without a connection to the printer. For the other two computer is the same on the two configuration options.

    Hello

    I just got a new computer and I'm trying to set up Cisco Connect on the new machine, I'll retire the old machine shortly.

    When I try to install, it tells me that he wants to start configuring my router.

    My router is already set up exactly like I want, and I fear that if I continue the installation, it will be clear my current setup and configure the router with the default settings.

    Is it possible to just install the Connect application without changing my current setup?

    Thank you

    I did that and Yes just continue with installation that it not to delete my current config on the router. Your good to go...
