My notebook - is - this safe / recommended to upgrade to 8.1 Windows?
Hello
I was wondering if I should upgrade my HP ENVY m6-1178sa. The HP software will affect?
My HP Recovery drive which has a backup of my first 8 Windows profiles settings, does it or can it be replaced by the new 8.1? HP SimplePass will it be integrated into the Windows 8.1 login screen? Just worried as I had to refresh / reset my phone several times to fix connection problems. Should I update all other files before proceeding?
Thanks for your time.
For now, I'd wait the 8.1 upgrade. I see a certain posted problems and no update driver again at HP to address the problems.
BTW I would recommend engraving on your recovery backup media. Invaluable to have on hand. Read the document here >Windows 8

Hello
Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.
There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

Safari sidebar slips into view, move the mouse to the left or by clicking on the icon in the toolbar.
There are 3 menus through the albums has only 2 3 show any color. This is part of the new flat design, minimal color (a bit like side bar of the Finder)

I am considering upgrading my laptop for Windows 8. What can I expect if I do this?
You may want to consider upgrading your laptop for Windows 8, but don't know what to expect or if it is compatible or not.
If you are in this category, then you will find this site useful.
It will give an idea of what to expect with possible isuses and a link to a tool for verification of compatibility at the bottom.
Blink on following: HP has tested my computer with Windows 8? at the bottom of the site and enter your product number. This will tell if the system has been tested for Windows 8, and if he can or can not get updates driver and software Windows 8.
I hope that the site will help those who are considering upgrading to Windows 8.

I have a HP Envy 15-j040us Notebook PC Touchsmart is currently using 8.1 64-bit windows. I play 2 Farmville on Facebook. I started having problems after installing Windows 8.1. My mouse hesitates and reluctant game and I can barely move on the screen. I am not real computer savy but can follow directions if you can just tell me what I need to do to correct this. Everything on the screen is just very slow and the mouse does not seem to want to go where I'm pointing to it.
Hello @aodom ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you have any questions, play Farmville 2 since the update to Windows 8.1.
First, update the drivers for your graphics (GPU) with the following download: driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).
Once you have done this, update Adobe Flash player plugin with the following download: Adobe - Flash Player
Once you have updated the GPU and the Flash Player, disable hardware acceleration for Flash on your laptop:
- Right click any where on the Farmville game once it has loaded.
- Select settings.
- Make sure that you are on the tab display/graph (see image below).
- Clear the check box to enable hardware acceleration if it is available. If you are prompted to activate the control of your webcam or microphone that these steps do not apply because the game is not trying to use the acceleration.
Let me know if it helps.

Hello
Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.
Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?
Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.
Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

Try installing CS2, guard asking for upgrade checking. This is not an upgrade, this is a record of the full version? I had Photoshop 7 on my system but uninstalled because it worked. Bought a copy of CS 2, but it will not be installed. Still looking for an earlier version of Photoshop to upgrade. This is a full version disc?

I am a student at the University that requires a second computer. However, I won't buy a second Adobe Suite Design and Web Premium program. This program allows multiple downloads? I have a Mac laptop, and I bought the Mac version of the program, is there a way to upgrade for use under windows? Or it does download on a Mac device?
Chances are that your license is only for the Mac platform.
You are really limited in the number of times that you could download - just the number of installations that can be activated. May have enabled facilities on two machines, even if both should run on the same platform. If it is CS6 you can ask an Exchange platform, but that doesn't look like what you want to do.
