I have improved my AZC-606 to 10 Windows without updating the BIOS of last year

This is a step that I completely missed, as far as I know at the time, that acer had no information about the update and it's the first time I installed a Windows operating system - zero that I leaned on for the characteristics of the facility he said nothing about the BIOS (and there was nobody at Acer). Windows 10 has worked without problem on the machine. The only problem I had on a regular basis (and not always, but most of the time) is when the computer restarts it stalls on the Acer screen. I usually don't bother using the option restart. All that said, my experience of Windows 10 has been pretty good, and the machine running on most of the time was reliable, but I'm at a point where I want to go back and do a clean Windows installation.

Now, I used the media creation tool to make an ISO. But the last time I used the MCT to paste directly to a flash drive, then maybe I'll do that once again. On the BIOS, I am a total n00b, so I don't know anything about. I assume it's something that I can still do / have done for me before installing Windows if I didn't not messed up already enough things. I'm kind of fishing for the answers that I have not yet to have questions for.

What are my options, and what is the best option for me at this point? As I said, the Windows front-end runs under the best conditions in the State, and this backend that can go on is just invisible to me. Restart the computer just seems out of whack.

Sorry to be verbose and vague.

Since you always have a working windows installation, you can update now, and then perform the clean installation.

Updating the BIOS is very simple and simply follow the instructions in the Readme inside the zip package.

But firstly check you current BIOS version:

key of the Windows logo + x

Run

type

Msinfo32

Check the BIOS DATE/version

the latest version of the BIOS is P11. A4

    Hello Daniel,.

    I'm a little confused about your message from Mr.
    What do you mean with half of the bios is enough?
    What s wrong with the BIOS?

    The support from Toshiba said-> try a BIOS update.
    On the Toshiba page, you can download the BIOS for Satellite A40.

    It seems you didn't check the download page detailed because on this page you will find this statement:

  • I have improved my i5 Ideapad Z580 to Windows 10. Big mistake?

    I took in all messages from Microsoft insisting on the fact that my computer was completely compatible and that I should upgrade to Windows 10. It does appear to me that I should have checked the Lenovo Web site first to be sure. After the upgrade, I noticed two things: (1) the system seemed to work fairly well, and (2) I couldn't find Dolby Home Theater v4 (one of my absolute favorite programs). When finally, I looked on the Lenovo Web site, I found the following page with the title, 'Dolby Home Theater does not work after upgrade Windows 10' (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht104006).

    When I checked the 'supported upgrade Windows 10 list' (https://support.lenovo.com/documents/ht103535), as indicated on the page, I saw that Ideapad Z580 was not on it. The page passes, saying that if your machine is not on the list, "drivers have not been updated for this machine, and Lenovo is not recommended an upgrade of Windows 10.» The page continues with possible solutions, but does it make sense to try again?

    Then I found another page site called Lenovo, 'Windows 10 Upgrade Guide - IdeaPad Lenovo Notebook' (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht103611). The news here was not better. He said, 'the following listed computer models include hardware components not fully compatible with Windows 10. Therefore, the upgrade of these models to 10 Windows is not recommended. "Unfortunately, Z580 is on this list.

    There are therefore, after Lenovo, hardware and software problems, and two recommendations DO NOT upgrade the Z580 to Windows 10. I did the upgrade. I have not run each program and I'm even not sure that all programs, other than the Dolby Home Theater, obtained through the upgrade (for example, Youcam have not). But the system seems to work pretty well; It may even work better she did it under Windows 7. I really miss the Dolby program. I have 30 days from July 29 to decide if I want to go back to Windows 7. So I have a few questions:

    1. as the system seems to work without major problems (outside), I should stay with Windows 10?
    2. If I stay with Windows 10, I should try the solutions described in 'Dolby Home Theater does not work after upgrade Windows 10' (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht104006) to restore the Dolby Home Theater?
    3. given that Lenovo has said that the Z580 has "not fully compatible with Windows 10 hardware components", am I headed for problems if I continue using Windows 10?
    4. given that pilots who do not have been updated, at least for the Dolby program and perhaps for others, it would be better to go back to Windows 7?
    5. is it possible that Lenovo will eventually update these drivers? If so, when does anyone know?
    6. I've heard that going back to Windows 7 can be very tricky. It is worth?
    7. If missing pilots as well as hardware components which are not completely compatible with Windows 10, why my system seems to work correctly?

    Sorry for the long post. I know there are some posts on this Forum that address these problems, but they are for a year - literally of August 2015 - and things possible has changed since then.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello mgsilv,

    Welcome to the Community Forums of Lenovo.

    I'll give you my view on your questions.

    1. as the system seems to work without major problems (outside), I should stay with Windows 10?

    It is up to you. The fact that your model is not supported means that Lenovo has not tested some older models. The way I see it, if not tested, there is no guarantee that it will be, or will not work.

    2. If I stay with Windows 10, I should try the solutions described in 'Dolby Home Theater does not work after upgrade Windows 10' (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht104006) to restore the Dolby Home Theater?

    If I were you, I will try the solutions, especially as long as you have the option to return to the previous operating system. Be sure that the system restore is enabled and works. It would not hurt to create a Restore Point before any change of Dolby. You also have an option to restore the drivers by using Device Manager in Windows 10.

    3. given that Lenovo has said that the Z580 has "not fully compatible with Windows 10 hardware components", am I headed for problems if I continue using Windows 10?

    I can't answer because I don't know what kind of changes Windows 10 will in the future, and if your hardware and/or software will continue to be compatible...

    4. given that pilots who do not have been updated, at least for the Dolby program and perhaps for others, it would be better to go back to Windows 7?

    See my response to #1.

    5. is it possible that Lenovo will eventually update these drivers? If so, when does anyone know?

    I can't speak for Lenovo, but given all new computers with OEM to catch up, I doubt that they go too far back to update the drivers for the older models. You can always keep checking back to the list of compatibility and drivers on Support to see if anything changes.

    6. I've heard that going back to Windows 7 can be very tricky. It is worth?

    I have not heard that.

    7. If missing pilots as well as hardware components which are not completely compatible with Windows 10, why my system seems to work correctly?

    It has not been tested. This does not mean that it has been tested and failed.

    Sorry for the long post. I know there are some posts on this Forum that address these problems, but they are for a year - literally of August 2015 - and things possible has changed since then.

    For some models there.

    If I were you, I would continue to use 10 for a week or so just to be sure everything works (printer, ports, your old software, etc.). If you can't get absolutely Dolby or anything else to work, weigh priorities, taking the Windows 7 End of SupportDates.

  • I'll have NO chance of finding iPhoto on my update of the Mavericks of last year.  How to do it?

    I have Snow Leopard on my Mas purchased years ago.  I paid for the update to the Mavericks in a Mac store last year and have not been able to find the iPhoto icon to I can use it to access and organization of the photo.  I tried free downloads and nothing seems to work.  I tried one that said I had to have some 9. ? version before I can download... then I went down, down, down to earlier versions... no luck.  They say that I can't download them.  How about my update of the Mavericks iPhoto?

    You've waited too long

    iPhoto 11 (version 9.x.x) must be purchased and it is no longer available at Apple - you also have iPhoto 9.5.1 for OS X 10.9.5 and even if you buy a version of iLife 11, I do not believe that the 9.5.1 update is available, so I don't think you will be able to use iPhoto - if you can upgrade to El Captain you can migrate your iPhoto photo library and use it
