Is it OK to upgrade to 8.1 Windows now or not?

Hello everyone.

Last summer, I bought a HP ENVY dv6-7331sa Notebook PC with Windows 8 OS.  Not long after the release of W8.1 update I received a message warning me HP DO NOT upgrade to W8.1 I could meet some problems.

Is it OK to upgrade now?

Thanks to all who take the time to answer.

Hi Professor_M,

Run the HP Support Assistant, first to check the updates first, then to the installation.  Then install the drivers from there.

Thank you

  • We think our computer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 8, but not sure if photoshop CS2 will still work? also how do I save it in a change because they say that I need to do a full clean instalation and I will lose all programs!

    Not sure how this forum works? Did anyone see my question?

    If you are in urgent need of help CS2 so my suggestion would be to avoid the upgrade to Windows 8 If you ran it on a Vista machine already.  It is likely to complicate things and you may end up with a system that is incapable of managing these old software.

    You should see also the following about CS2 - basically, regardless of the copy you have is not a useful for a new installation.

  • Upgrade the Firmware configuration page now does not open

    I have problems with the speed between 30-58 Kbps when going through the WRT160N router, if its high hook wired or wireless, with the two speed was extremely slow and does not entirely pager or would take dsl slow day. I hooked directly to the modem and I got 100 + kbps so I thought that its not my ISP, so I read that update my firmware could make it faster, so I updated and hit and held the reset button for 30 seconds as recommended, but now the 192.168.1.1 does not open, I get a message saying that it can't open this page any suggestions?

    You are able to go online through it? Try opening a command prompt and "ping 192.168.1.1" just to see if you can still get there.

    How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

    I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

    I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
    I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer
