How to set my Windows7 to Windows8.1 - Tecra Z50-A-15W
Hello
can someone help me with the procedure for updating my win7 oem 8.1 victory that was bundled with the laptop? I tried to boot from the first dvd and it has only option to recover the laptop, removing everything. I wonder isn't there a standard upgrade of windows that affects only the files of the OS and that preserves the accounts, passwords etc?
If I download from microsoft website - where can I find the OEM serial number?
Thanks in advance
According to specification for laptop, your laptop has been preloaded with Win7 64 bit and Win8.1 facilities DVD. Before you whatever it is is Win7 backup and create a recovery of Win7 (DVD or USB) media.
I put t have this model of laptop but if I understand the situation right Win8.1 DVD you got is installation disk that you can use for any new installation Win8.1. With other words, it is not a upgrade disk that you can use to upgrade Win7 preinstalled.
Create recovery media Win7, save all your all of your important data and use the Win8.1 recovery disk to the new installation of Windows.
> If I download it from the microsoft website - where can I find the OEM serial number?
Both versions that you got with your machine are activated and you do not need key Windows product. By the use of another version Toshiba has nothing to do with it and you should obtain and purchase the valid product key.

How can I install windows7 alongside windows 8 on a pc of UEFI firmware
I've been a fan of windows8, but now I just can tolerate more. I find myself posting several times on the forum because I bought a pc brand new windows8 in June 2013. Windows8 is a cool OS but I can't take more with the problems, he gave me. I find myself punching my pc because of the anger and closing the lid really hard because I hate windows8 performance.
First question:
My wireless lan driver is horrible. I can't download large files on my pc because my computer disconnects every 10 minutes after I connect to a wireless network.
Second question:
My mouse sucks. I was a big presentation in my school and the next thing I knew was that my mouse had disappeared from the screen. It's really annoying because I had to reinstall the drivers, then restart the computer on a projection screen. This happens often and it is one of the reasons why I want windows7 on a partition.
Third question:
Most of my keys on the keyboard still stop sometimes. Most of the letters or homework, I type on my laptop must be checked several times before submitting it.
I tried to install windows7 on my pc on a different partition, but it simply doesn't. I know that its to cause of UEFI firmware and I have put it in legacy mode, but my windows8 will not start when I do this. I have seen and read a lot of posts, but it doesn't seem to work. At one time I tried to install mac that wasn't a good idea.
How can I install Windows7 alongside windows8
PS: I love windows8, but I can't use this operating system more at school because it bothers me a lot.
If you keep the computer abuse, you have nothing to use or reinstall Windows 7 on. Treat the system with the best care.
Are you sure that most of your problems with Windows 8 is not related to:
1 driver with your network card problem?
2 have you tried to connect to the Internet with a wired connection to see if the problem persists?
3. have you checked for Mouse/touchpad update the drivers from the manufacturers Web site?
4. it looks like the issue with the keyboard and all the problems, may be chipset related, you can also consult the manufacturer of your laptop site for driver chipset update.
5. considering that your system was manufactured in June of 2013, it probably came with Windows 7, Windows 8 No, you would of course, was given a free upgrade to Windows 8 depending on the date of purchase.

How to set up the Office remotely between two pc in different countries
Hi, I just want to know how to use Remote Desktop between PC Windows 7 in different countries...
I just tried Windows remote assistance but it take too long to set up first help me post the invitation file and the key to past and then I download the file and open it with Windows Remote Assistance and then copy the access code and enter it in the text box vacuum... and blablablabla
I have seen a lot of video on how to set up remote desktop for always as when I want to use remote desktop, just ask the user on the other computer and connect it
How can I do
Thank you* and what is Remote Desktop connection software in windows 7? (next to the Windows Remote Assistance)
looking for helpFirst of all know what version of Windows 7 is running on the computer you want to access remote/control. Go to the Start button and type winver in the search window. Windows will report to the version in a pop-up window on your desktop.
***********************************
Assuming that the computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate or Pro...
The main steps are...
- Activate [DRC] Remote Desktop on Windows 7 Ultimate DRC PC host.
- If the login ID DRC on the Windows 7 Ultimate DRC host PC is not an administrator, and then add the user to the remote desktop users group. Don't forget the DRC connection user ID are local on the host Windows 7 Ultimate DRC PC not the DRC PC client.
- Make sure that there is an exception in the Windows Firewall, or any third-party firewall on the Windows 7 Ultimate DRC host PC.
- If the host Windows 7 Ultimate DRC PC is behind a router make sure that TCP Port 3389 is transferred to the LAN IP (static is preferable) of Windows 7 Ultimate DRC host PC.
You can test TCP Port 3389 port through your router forwarding by going to the http://www.canyouseeme.org test site. For help setting up through any router port forwarding, go to the PortForward.com site for help. Ignore references to UDP Port 3389.
http://PortForward.com/English/applications/port_forwarding/Remote_Desktop/Remote_Desktopindex.htm
Test call Windows 7 Ultimate DRC host PC from another PC or laptop computer on your local network using its LAN IP address (static is preferable).
http://theillustratednetwork.MVPs.org/RemoteDesktop/TroubleshootingDiagrams/Basic.html
To call from a remote location using the public IP address of the router to the PC host of Windows 7 Ultimate DRC is behind or a full domain name [FQDN] of DynDNS (which I assume that you have already configured).
Its highly recommended that you use Network Level Authentication [KLA] If you connect remotely from a Windows 7, Vista or XP SP3/SP2 client.

http://theillustratednetwork.MVPs.org/screenshots/RDC-NLAandServerAuth/host-UseNLA.jpg
Make sure that you use the latest version of the client if your connection from a client computer to Vista or XP SP3/SP2. Windows 7 includes the new RDC client software.

If the remote computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium...
Windows Live Mesh 2011 remote connections works well for the access/remote control of a computer Windows 7 Home Premium. It gives you a nice Remote Desktop display type of the Office from remote computers.
http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-2011-system-requirements
You can use a web browser to access without installing any software, other than an ActiveX control, on the remote client or install Live Mesh on the client. Your choice.
http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Mesh-Remote-Desktop-using?OS=Mac
http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-mesh-devices-remote-connections-what-UI
If you use Live Mesh Remote Connections I suggest to create a Live ID limited account type that does not include an e-mail account. I have install a limited Live ID I use only to connect to some Live Mesh remote connections to computers I want / access control.
https://accountservices.passport.NET/ppnetworkhome.SRF?VV=1200&mkt=en-us&LC=1033
You can, if you wish, also use an existing Live ID or create a new, but this is your choice.
I installed Live Mesh 2011 on desktop Win 7 Home Premium to my wife and in distance/access control can it go literally anywhere. Sometimes I use the web based (IE. Method ActiveX) from my laptop on the desk.
Here is an example of a session Windows Live Mesh 2011 remote connections on my laptop computer for access to the / remote control of desktop Win 7 Home Premium to my wife.
Otherwise if you want to remotely control a computer looking Windows Home Edition to TeamViewer (free for personal use) or VNC (my favorite is UltraVNC with its encryption plugin) as the other two alternatives.

I'm halfway to the upgradation of windows7 for windows8 in my laptop Dell Inspiron 5520. I wonder to uninstall software for USB 3.0, Dell stage, Bluetooth, ports etc. of windows7, citing compatibility problems. How do I proceed? Similar software will be installed during the process once I have finished installing windows8? Because now, my internet connection is through the USB data card. Please advice of emergency
What I suggest you do is download Windows 8 and create a bootable on a Flash DRIVE or DVD you can do an offline installation. Although the wizard upgrade of Windows 8 is the first download before to actually copy the files.
You can uninstall the proposed components that affect the download installation files.

How to set speech recognition in English
Hello world
I live in Barcelona and have the Spanish version of Windows 7, Home Premium edition.For my work, I use most of the time English and I would like to use speech recognition in Win7.I made the tutorial - in Spanish - but you do not how to set all of the application into English.Does anyone know how to do?Thank you.Hello
Unfortunately, it is not possible to change just the language of speech recognition. Windows speech recognition is only available when the language of the operating system matches the language of Windows speech recognition. You can change the language of the operating system by installing a language pack from Windows Update. If you install the language pack for a supported language of Windows speech recognition, you can then use Windows speech recognition to this language if it is also the language of the operating system.
Note: Multilingual User Interface Pack MUIs are available in Windows 7 ultimate through Windows Update as optional updates. They are not installed automatically.

Hello
IOS 10 (as in the previous version of iOS), My Watch tab is located in the application of the watch (not in the settings).
If you have also updated your Apple Watch to watch OS 3, note that the application of friends (accessed via the side button, with a circle of people) has been removed from the watch and that there is no direct replacement for this feature.
