• Is it possible to change Vista pre-installed to Windows XP?

  Hello

  I recently bought SATLTE TOSHIBA L30-105. It came with a preinstalled Vista. I don't like all Vista and I would like to install Windows XP. Is there a way I can get a CD of Windows XP for Toshiba to replace Vista?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It seems that you are a lucky man who has had the laptop with the Vista OEM operating system ;)

  Each laptop comes with an operating system.
  Some devices come with XP and Vista. It depands on the model of laptop.

  Unfortunately, you will not get any different operating system from Toshiba.
  If you want to install Windows XP or another operating system on your laptop, you will need to purchase an original Microsoft System.

  I think that sooner or later you will find the Toshiba XP drivers on the Toshiba driver page.

  Greetings

• Re: Want to get rid of Toshiba software pre-installed on the Satellite L650-165

  Hello

  I just bought my Satellite Pro L650-165 and there are a number of software programs that come pre-installed with it.
  Such as Toshiba Tempro, Eco fashion, Technology Council etc etc.

  In view of the fact that I'm going to use this for my University I run many intensive programs of ram above.
  So, I want to free all the ram, I can by uninstalling all these utlities.
  I know what you think... Yes just because they are installed does not mean that they are running. But is it safe?

  I know it takes but still ask. I just want to stay with windows7 plain ol' less all software 'cool '. precautions?

  Oh and even though I created the recovery discs using the utility built into the to do... I thought ordering a Toshiba too. where to go for this?

  > If I want to free all the ram, I can by uninstalling all these utlities.
  I know what you think... Yes just because they are installed does not mean that they are running. But is it safe?

  Although these tools are installed, this does not mean that they would be running in the background and lose some of the RAM.
  I wouldn't recommend uninstall these tools but to turn it off auto-start.
  How to do this? ESay
  You can do it in msconfig.

  Run msconfig and go to the Startup tab.
  There you can uncheck just tools that you n t need initially.
  Save the changes and restart the device.
  If you need one of the tools again in the Startup tab, then you could do it

  Notes; Disabling in msconfig process does not mean that you couldn't manually start these tools
  Disable tools (process) in msconfig means ONLY that these tools would not launch automatically when windows starts.

• Pre-installed backup Windows 8 OS

  Hello world. First of all sorry for the long question, but it is very important for me.

  I want Hp dv6 laptop 7352sr. I need to wipe everything on the internal HARD disk and install Ubuntu.  It came with 8 windows pre installed. So I need to save all partitions (UEFI, main "C", small partitions created automatically, partition partition EFI encyripted and etc.) of the operating system. I didn't wan't to the current operating system of risk, because it is under license of Windows 8 and when I bought my laptop is Windows 8 modified by HP. If after a while, I go back to Windows, then it will be a regular Windows, not changed. I'll have the Windows I have to first (all partitions).

  I searched for this topic, but in some cases there are a lot of problems, because he has UEFI. I've tried Acronis backup, but it did not work (when I boot on DVD there graphic problem).

  I have the DVD of backup. If I install Windows 8 after awhile and restore "DVD", is that it will be the same windows when I bought my laptop (with all partitions).

  So how I can clear all and no shortage of current operating system?

  PS: I didn't wan't to dual boot and I know that there may be some problems with Ubuntu driver.

  farid775,

  You go to the HP Recovery Manager and create recovery discs? If so, what are the disks that are going to reinstall Windows completely.

  Watch this video to see if it's what you did.

  IF you have not created the recovery still directed by the video disks, you can do it now

  OR

  create a recovery USB (as erico has pointed out).

  If you have already created, the recovery manager not allows you to create another set.

• Where can I find key for business to Vista pre-installed on my laptop?

  Where can I find key for business to Vista pre-installed on my laptop?  Yes, I have a legal authenticated copy of Vista business on my laptop.  I recently had to reinstall everything on my laptop, but had some problems using the backup disks that I initially created for this purpose.  I finally managed to do it, but it would be so much easier in the future if I had a with key correct installation disc.  So, first of all, where can I download an Installation of Vista Business disc; and second, where I look on my current laptop installation to determine the key authenticated for my current installation?  Is this possible?

  Hello

  Many manufacturers of computers DO still have available Vista recovery discs.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• How to find my product key Windows 8 if it came pre-installed on my Hp laptop. I want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 when it comes out.

  I would like to install Windows 8.1 when it comes out in August. According to Microsoft:

   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows-8/Preview-FAQ

  You must have your product key to install 8.1. My laptop came pre-installed with it and I don't know where to find. I would not use 3rd party applications. I know how to get into my CMOS and that's all. Thank you.

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft forum.

  I appreciate your efforts to try to solve the problem and I will definitely help you with this.

  This could be due to the change in the country / region or the product key that you might be for a different version of Windows like Pro Pack etc.
