• Equium A60 runs unstable - how can I upgrade the memory?

  I have a friend visit me who has an Equium A60 which is very unstable when she runs multiple applications. I checked and it has only 192 MB of RAM. Can be increased and if so how much. How many slots are there on this machine?

  She is currently in the USA and I checked on Toshiba USA website and cannot find this PC is listed, so it should only be sold in Europe. It would be useful if someone could tell me what kind of memory it takes so I could look for it here. She is a student and in great need of a stable computer for his studies.

  Thanks a lot for all the help in advance.

  Hello

  Of course you can upgrade the memory.
  I guess you have only 192 MB memory main because the laptop came with 256 MB internal memory and the 64 MB are shared by the graphics card! This is why only 192 MB are free.

  Anyway, as I said the laptop came with 256 MB internal and memory is not removable.
  So only one slot is expandable!
  If you can upgrade the memory for max 1280MB (256 MB + 1024 MB)

  You can use the modules:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  Do you know where is the crack?

  The slot is placed at the bottom of the device! The cover is fixed with a screw.
  Remove this screw and you will be able to open the slot and improve memory.

  PS; I think that upgrading memory is described in the manual of Toshiba that was preinstalled on your laptop.
  Alternatively, you can download this manual from the page of Tosh

• I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?

  The upgrade to Windows XP Professional edition

  I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?  I want to run the iCloud but need a more recent version to do.  Thank you.

  The first thing to do is to download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor--> http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20

  If your hardware and your applications are compatible with Windows 7 (and there are drivers available for your hardware devices) then you can buy a copy of Windows 7 and install it.  You will have to do what Microsoft calls a "custom installation" which is a facility clean Windows 7 in force and which is to format your hard drive.

  Thus, you must first save all your data (files, documents, music, photos, etc.) on another medium (the best is an external hard drive), and then import this into the computer after the installation of Windows 7.  Microsoft is a tool for this called Windows Easy Transfer, but you can use any method you like.

  Also, you must reinstall all of your applications from their original installation media.  If any of these applications has been downloaded, you'll need a copy of the downloaded installation package or a way to re - download.  You must also make sure that you have all your license keys.

  If you go ahead with this, one thing you need to do before your existing XP installation is more usable is to download and run Belarc Advisor (free).  Belarc is mainly intended to let you know if your security patches are up-to-date, it also gives you a list of license keys for a large part of your installed software.

  PS: Don't waste your time with Vista.  If you can not go to Windows 7, stick with XP.

• Can you perform a destructive restore using a disc to upgrade to windows 7 when you run windows xp pro?

  Hello! I want to perform a destructive restore, but I lost my WIindows XP pro installation CD. At the same time, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and I was wondering if I can just buy a Windows 7 upgrade disk and took the opportunity to do a full restore, I want to erase everything from my computer and put everything to factory settings, as if she was completely new.

  What do you mean exactly by "destructive recovery? I take from your post, it means that you want to format the system drive and perform a new installation of Windows 7. In other words, start with a clean hard drive.

  If this is correct, then YES; Indeed, during the upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 there is no actual "upgrade path" as the upgrade requires a custom (clean) installation of Windows 7.

   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/upgrading-to-Windows-7-frequently-asked-questions

  Before the upgrade, if you haven't already done so, it is highly recommended to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to make sure that your computer is capable of running Windows 7. Windows 7 was designed to use the latest technology and equipment and many older machines are not able to run the new operating system.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  You should also visit the windows Compatibility Center 7 to determine if all of the devices (printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and the programs on your computer are compatible with Windows 7. For printers and other devices, you will need the name of the manufacturer and exact model number.

  Windows 7 Compatibility Center
   http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  The upgrade to Windows 7 will also require that you will find and install the Windows 7 drivers (32-bit or 64-bit based on what you are upgrading to) for all you hardware and devices. This includes the BIOS (if any), the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN, mouse and keyboard, printers, scanners, cameras, etc. In the case of printers, scanners and devices, you also need the software associated with your version of Windows 7 in addition to new drivers.

  Creation of new drivers is the manufacturer of the device; in other words the computer manufacturer or the manufacturer of material or actual device. If your computer is a great brand (Dell, HP, etc) visit of the machine to support the site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific computer model. In the case of printers and others, visit the support from their manufacturer, still looking for new Windows 7 drivers for your specific camera model. Google is your friend.

  Before you begin the upgrade process, you must back up all your files and data, including pictures, movies, music, contact lists and anything else that you do not want to lose; Yet once, this upgrade requires the disk formatted as either hard erase everything on the drive. Ideally, this backup should be on external media such as an external hard drive or a (of a sufficient diameter) flash drive.

  Thank you.

  There could be a problem with the wifi driver that comes with Windows 10. I think that you first need to find the right driver for Windows 10 on the Acer site. Otherwise, you may need to install a usb wireless card.

  Installation time can vary depending on factors such as the speed of the processor, memory and your data set (including your personal files, settings and installed applications that must be transferred during the upgrade.

  Hi,

  I see you have a subscription of photography under the enamel even as with the forums.

  You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

  You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  Personally, I don't want to do the upgrade.  Why?

  Because HP does not provide drivers for your PC Win10, and if you force the upgrade, you will then be relegated to generic drivers that Microsoft provides. While those who can BE manipulated, if all are not, then you're stuck with hardware that does not completely, as the HP drivers so that the material simply do not exist.

  However, if you are determined to go ahead, you can protect yourself problems upgrade and recovery if, before doing the upgrade, you plan to use a third-party application Imaging/restoration as Macrium Reflect to image your machine off so that you can easily restore it if something does not work.

  Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

  My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition. This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.

  I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.

  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry. This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Have fun experimenting with Win10!

  Good luck
