How to switch from Windows Vista to Xp on a Satellite P200?

Hello!

I would like to know if it is possible to install Windows XP on a computer that initially comes with Vista? Someone told me that some drivers need to be installed first, but I just can't find the right information.

Thank you

Corinne

Well, you're right. You need install Intel Matrix Storage manager first before you continue the installation of XP.
During the installation of XP Setup will be asked by pressing the F6 key to include drivers 3.
You will use this option to install Intel Matrix Storage manager external USB FDD or you will create the XP CD again using the nLite software.

However, all the drivers are available on the European driver Toshiba page. Then choose the good series notebook and check compatible drivers!

  • Switch from Windows Vista to Windows 7

    Dear all,

    I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop, but unfortunately lost the c: / and the license code for this.

    Question: can I uninstall what remains of Windows Vista on my laptop and install Windows 7 on it. I still have a license of the latter and I expect long term to be able to switch to Windows 10, free of charge.

    Please can you let me know what you think about this?

    Kind regards

    Friederike

    First of all, note that there is no way to uninstall any version of Windows. They only way to get rid of Vista is to format the drive, for example by installing another operating system itself. A clean install means that you will lose the entire computer, including all your personal data, so until this don't forget to make a backup of all your important files n external media.

    Secondly, you say that you have a license for Windows 7, but how did you? If you bought a copy retail, fine. But if it's an OEM copy (for example, if it came with another computer) you can not do this.

    Finally, note that the period for a free upgrade for Windows 10 expired on July 29.

  • Want to 700-329: how to switch from windows 8.1 for al profession windows 7 on Envy 700-329

    I'm fed up with the problems resulting from Windows 8.1, for example the program incompatibility, Slow / no response in browsers, particularly IE 11, forced to use touchscreen interface style on conventional monitor and so on and so forth. I have a license of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit for my Dell Vostro laptop. Can I use it on my HP Envy Office 700-329 to replace Windows 8.1?

    Hello:

    It is forbidden to transfer the license OEM of Windows or using product key OEM the Dell laptop on HP desktop computer.

    Please read the FAQ below... specifically...

    Q. my client bought a new PC and wants to move the OEM software from the old PC to the new. Users cannot do what they want with their software?

    A. no, the OEM software is licensed with the computer on which it was originally installed and system is linked to the original machine. OEM licenses are licenses for single use which cannot be installed on more than one computer system, even if the original machine is no longer in use. The 3668Microsoft Software License Terms, that the end user must accept before using the software, say that the license may not be shared, transferred or used concurrently on different computers. System integrators must provide support to the end user for the Windows license on build computers, they cannot support licenses on computers that they did not build. It is a fundamental reason why an OEM System Builder license cannot be transferred.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fBid=Q44RMvZYHTG

    If you want to buy a license support and installation of W7, you can use the W7 x 74 drivers and the software of this model on your own, except the BIOS and firmware files.

  • How can I switch from Windows Vista to Windows 7

    Original title: Windows 7

    My HP laptop came pre-installed with Microsoft Vista OS. How can I change to Windows 7?

    Hello NareshDadlani,

    You must verify that your hardware of PCs will supports Windows 7, therefore, you must visit the HP site and check that the Windows 7 drivers are available for your PC.

    Windows 7, is of course, is no longer provided by Microsoft, so you can use scouring eBay or Amazon to see if a copy is legitimate is available. Like most of the software there are many out there pirated copies so be wary.

    You can also check if you can run Windows 8.1 instead. This will bring you bang up-to-date with the latest operating system. You can download the Wizard Windows 8 upgrade from this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8 the link to the upgrade wizard is in the second paragraph.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • How can I switch from Windows Vista 32-bit for Windows Vista 64 - bit?

    Hello my PC is a 32-bit and I checked and it is expandable to a 64-bit so my? Now this is what to do from here which means I know it is evolutionary, but what do I do now...


    Please help me understand what I need to do Thks in advance.
    original title: Desktop PC Vista Home Basic...? ..

    On the same hardware, there will be no difference of speed of moving to 64-bit. There are some marginal benefits of security with Windows 64-bit.

    Since at least the five years, almost all of the processors are able to run in 32-bit and 64-bit mode.  See for more information on current processors that work with Windows;

    http://www.Intel.com/en_UK/products/processor/Corei7/index.htm

    http://www.AMD.com/us/products/pages/processors.aspx

    It's really a matter of how much you want to spend for the performance you need. See this for more information on what you will need for a high performance system:

    http://www.TomsHardware.com/reviews/core-I7-3930k-3820-test-benchmark, 3090.html

    You can not simply exchange one processor to another. It must be put in correspondence with the motherboard.

    You are referring to a Vista Home Basic Office. Home Basic is usually installed on low-specification PCs which are not powerful enough to run all of Vista's features.

    If you want to run something like Adobe CS5, you would be probably better off buying a new computer Windows 7 to try to upgrade your existing computer.

    If I have the software downloaded on my laptop and the change of a macbook, I can transfer Photoshop on my Mac, or do I have to buy the software?

    It all depends on what version of Photoshop, it is.  If it's CS6 then you can request an Exchange platform.  If it's a cloud subscription then you can install on any machine that meets the specifications.  All prior to CS6 version, there is not much that can be done other than to buy for the different platform.
