How to install Windows 8.1 without using store?

I recently bought a Sony Vaio laptop that came with a preinstalled version of Windows 8 and no installation media has been provided. But now I would upgrade to Windows 8.1. I tried to use store but the download is too slow, even if my internet speed is really good. I tried the methods given in various Web sites where he is invited to download the installer of Windows 8 & then close the installer when the download starts and start the installer of Windows 8.1. But that has not worked because my product key is not a retail one. I would really like an iso file of Windows 8.1. So, what can I do now?

Hello

    Hello

    The Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool is designed for the installation of Windows 7, is not for the installation of XP.

    I suggest that you use Google that Microsoft does not support what you want to do.

    XP drivers for XP, NOT of Windows 7...

    Go to control panel > devices and printers > click on "add a printer".

    The computer will search your but probably not find it, then click on the box "" does not appear the printer that I want to ".

    A list is displayed, but the printer is not in it, then click Windows Update. After a few minutes, a revised list will appear and if you click on the cannon, the BJC 1000 is in the list.

    I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft file and saved it in the downloads.

    i boot boot camp and she has 2 activated options are: software DOWNLOAD to apple support and the other is latest windows install or remove windows 10 or later.

    I'm not sure why it says windows 10 as it is not compatible with my mac earlier. anyway I check the two options and then bootcamp download all drivers and records them in my pendrive of 32GB.

    He then asks me what hard drive partition and I choose but then it says: he cannot find the installation file. I tried opening the file so it is mounted, but nothing works. I thought it's supposed to tell you what to do?

    Thanks for any help

    A Mac 2011 needs a physical DVD to install Windows and need to use the optical drive (CD/DVD). You cannot use an external CD/DVD drive.

    Please burn the ISO on a DVD-R SL and then click the installation option only.

  • Satellite A210-15Y - how to install Windows XP?

    I had Windows Vista and I improve it with Windows 7. Now, I really want to install Windows XP.
    When I put the Windows XP CD in after awhile I get a blue screen whit an error.

    pls tell how to install Windows XP on my laptop and if I need some drivers do pls put links of whereIi can get them.

    PS Sorry for the bad English

    Hello

    I think the problem is that you tried to install Win XP without installation of the SATA driver.
    The A210 need driver SATA to recognize the HARD drive.

    You can also check the BIOS settings. There should be an option called SATA mode.
    This can be set between AHCI and compatible and this will allows you to install the Win XP without the first installation of SATA drivers.

    Also check the other threads here in the forum on the same topic!

    PS: It is advisable to use Win XP including SP3! You can include the SP3 using nLite software!

  • Re: How to install Windows XP Home on a Satellite L40 - 17R

    I bought a laptop Satellite L40 - 17r without Windows installed and the store didn t give me all the drivers also.
    When I check your "how to install windows XP on a L40.pdf. It says to download the driver package that I can't find on your website.

    I have a Windows XP Home genuine SP2, but I can t install as WXP does ' t find the hard drive.
    I'd be the appropriate driver package to install Windows XP on my laptop.

    If I have an external floppy drive can't, I used a USB drive external hard also add the necessary drivers so that Windows XP can see my hard drive (160 GB HARD DRIVE (5400 RPM) SATA).

    Thanks for your response
    Xavier

    Hello Xavier

    I think installing WXP on L40 laptop is most asked in recent months. I recommend to check this forum category and you will find answer to your question. If you have no floppy, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Solution is Nlite software.

    Use as search terms in the advanced search option and you will find so many threads with exact explanation on its use.

  • How to install windows 7 on an external HARD drive (or alternative?)

    Hello

    So I have a MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013) with 128 GB SSD and 4 GB of RAM running OS X El Capitan. I would like to install Windows 7 as a secondary OS, I did that the 128 GB SSD, I don't have a lot of room to play to have 2 OS on a single disc. So I was wondering if you can optionally install Windows on external drive USB secondary.

    I've read about people with the Macbook Pro who did this through the installation of Windows on their main drive and then Exchange this one at the port of superdrive, but as I look, none of this is possible.

    If this is not possible, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how this can be achieved, but without wasting a lot of space, perhaps using VM Virtual Box or an alternative?

    Thank you

    Ben

    The MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013) - technical specifications, you have a Thunderbolt port. Find a TB external drive and install Windows. You cannot use USB/FW drives. Cloning of third party software may operate, but you must be aware of Windows licenses.
