I need windows!
Hey everyone, I recently posted a topic on my hard drive failure
Well my only new arrived and I installed it, only problem is I can't find a way to install windows 8
My laptop (Lenovo y500) provided with windows 8 pre - install so I don't know how I could get it back, you lose it permanently if you lose the hard drive or is there some kind of related to your purchase license key? Some people asked me that there a liscense key hidden in the BIOS that would be entered automatically if you try to install it
I tried all day to install it somehow using my pendrive of 32 GB, I downloaded an ISO image of win8 and put it on the flash drive, but it could not be picked up in the menu of boot for some reason any (he was not a legitimate source, so it's probably an ISO doubtful)
Y at - it somewhere I can get a legitimate ISO?

Help, please... I need Windows XP driver for my CQ40-121TU
Please send me a full links to the driver for CQ40-121TU thank you very much...
Your computer came with XP? If your computer came with VISTA and was never made for XP, so no XP drivers will be available for the system. I looked at the HP site and could not find XP drivers, which probably means that it is a model of Vista, not XP. If it came with XP then call HP and they will be able to send you a XP disc for a small fee, like $15 or more.

Do I need Windows updates?
I don't use Internet Explorer. I have an old Inspiron Dell about 6 years and I'm still on XP & Windows 6.
My browsers are Firefox or Google Chrome.Do I need Windows updates? I've been installing them but I don't think a more thorough review that they apply.I have the Windows Firewall and Avast. Security antivirus.Hello sucern,
Windows Update does not update only Internet Explorer; It will also update other areas of the operating system to make them safer. The answer to your question 'should I updates of windows' is a resounding "Yes" do you.
Incidentally ceases support for Windows XP in 2014.

I need Windows 8 to a class. I have 7. Can I buy and download 8 online? Thank you.
Hello
Support for windows 8 is finished.
Extended support for Windows 8.1 going until 2023.
But Microsoft sells more than 8 or 8.1.
Try Amazon.com, etc.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.
Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.
If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.
There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:
Download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant 8.1 of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8.1 and read the update for Windows 8.1: FAQ here
"Update to Windows 8.1: FAQ".
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-to-Windows-8
"8.1 for Windows system requirements.
