I bought a laptop Samsung R480 without OS, please help!

I won an ebay for a laptop Samsung R480 auction last night. I realized after the fact, that it did not have an operating system with it. I'm not savvy computer in the world.

Is someone can you please tell me how I can get the OS on the laptop the more economical way? Where can I get LEGAL access to an operating system and how you install? In addition, it will be a difficult and costly process? Really, I don't want it's an expensive paper weight :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Oh yes, here are the specs I know, if this is necessary, I can check on this subject:

It depends on the hardware requirements of operating systems and also know if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later on which is installed.

Check at Samsung for your model to see this operating system/s is supported on your model.

  • HP laptop laptop 15-f004wm: upgrading question please help!

    So can I switch the processor of this laptop for the i7 - 4790 k? If I can't do it without having to buy other parts could you please list the parts that I need? I also want to update the graphics card as well. Any suggestions? I want to be able to play WOW on ultra settings

    $1500 I am sorry to say that is probably pay a month of for a PFC. We could probably find you something a little less could do better with WOW but you just make a choice common but not good laptops. Although you can upgrade you go account than a Summit i7 costs line as $350 mobile processor, right?

    Not suggesting not buy you this but here's a cell phone used in the games good for no more than $550 who just needs a hard drive (another $60 or more). You need to think in terms of guerrilla tactics to buy a laptop computer game on what Uncle Sam pays you I'm afraid.

    My work laptop. Last thing I looked at was adult movies

    Good,

    First of all , if your browser is slow, so I suggest to install another such as chrome, firefox or opera. You like.

    In the second place , I would not recommend opening your laptop atall as this may void any warranty on the product.

    Third , Apple hardware will be incompatible with your machine unless it's the OS that you plan to install.

    Finally , I suggest to avoid adult material online as site more have Malware on which could harm you're computer!

  • MacBook does not start without warning, please help I'm losing my mind

    MacBook pro froze performs a simple operation. Got the wheel turns and could not enter the finder, etc. Did a hard reboot. Now the computer does not start. I get the apple journal and the bar for a minute or two and then a zero symbol IE forbidden - a circle with a line through it.

    Surprisingly, it is less than two months after a similar disaster where the computer would not suddenly start. In this case, I was able to get repaired the program apple logic board (the problem was compatible with the congenital fail GPU result).

    Incredibly this time the macbook seems to be in even worse shape. I don't get anything useful from the startup keys.

    cmd R - take me in a gray screen no symbol

    D - no symbol grey screen

    option D - it took a while but eventually I got to choose the network, then it seemed to freeze on the globe

    option - strangely this brings me to a screen asking me to choose the wireless network, but it does not all networks in the box. weird - this happens even with a simple bootable usb key

    option cmd R - annoys me to the world, but the world does not revolve

    T - puts me the screen of the target disk, but the disk is unreadable from another computer

    cmd S / cmd V - gives me a code screen and then freezes

    Shift - takes me to zero cross again

    C - think for awhile, but let me on an undefined gray screen

    (I need some advice on the start-up of the thumb. Pressing C should force the startup of the thumb. I did an inch bootable with el capitan. However, I am not convinced that my thumb works on a functional mac either - I just can't get a macbook functional 2009 to start the boost by pressing C, although it starts from the thumb if I press option and go through the menu. Weird.)

    Help, please. Urgent need to use the computer and access the data on it.

    Even if you have just a few ideas that would be useful.

    Can I assume that you have a 2009 MBP?

    You have your data backed up?

    Have you tried SMC and NVRAM resets?

  • Cannot remove a folder on my desktop without name - please help!

    Hi - I accidentally renamed a folder using the 'Alt + 255"character invisible.  I forgot I was renaming a real folder on my desktop and not a shortcut to a folder.  In fact, what I actually renamed it as "Alt + 255 (x 7)", i.e. of 7 invisible characters.


    In any case, I want to delete the folder now.  It is empty because I moved everything out of it.  But I can not remove it- either by dragging it to the trash, or by right-clicking and then clicking 'delete', or by opening the desktop folder in Windows Explorer and remove in there.  It will not just delete, no matter how I try.


    By browsing on the internet tells me I should be able to remove it by using the command line, but I can't figure out how.


    Please help me because these small things really annoy me!  My system is Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Try this:

    1. click on Start > all programs > Accessories > command prompt to open a command prompt window.

    2. type cd desktop and press enter .

    3 copy this command into the Windows Clipboard:

    for /d %d in (*) do rmdir /s "%d".

    4. right click on the command prompt window, click Paste and press Enter. The command will display the name of each folder on the desktop and invite you to press Y (remove the folder) or N (do not remove).  The file you're looking for may appear as an empty name.
