• 8.1 Windows via Boot Camp on El Capitan, iMac mid 2011

  I am desperately trying for a while now to do an installation of bootcamp Windows 8.1 on my iMac 2011 mid 21.5 ' with El Capitan.

  Many solutions exist for the older iMac like mine, but nothing seems to work for me. I have already applied the BCA 'hack' to edit the info.plist to make the option to generate a setup available disk, I also tried the 'old fashioned' way of installing via burn the iso image to a dvd.

  I already tried several USB sticks (8 and 32 GB).

  The result is always the same: "no boot device found; "Insert one and press any".

  If theres no suggestion on how to get windows on my Mac, I would be really happy. I don't mind which way, as mentioned previously, I still have an internal optical drive.

  Concerning

  You cannot use a USB on Mac 2011 Installer. A physical DVD will work. If the Microsoft ISO is not burned properly, it will not start.

  Please describe the method that you used to create the DVD ISO.

• Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

  Hello!

  I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

  Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

  I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

  All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

  Hey Buddy,

  > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
  Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

  After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

  Check this box!

• Toshiba Tecra S3 - new SSD stuck on JBOD, cannot install windows on it

  I just got myself a Kingston V series 64 GB SSD drive, but I can't it is detected by windows installation programs.
  After looking around, I found that the Tecra S3 drives must be "1RAID 0" and not JBOD to activate windows to
  be installed on it. (unless you use the recovery CD, which I did not right now, even if I wanted to use it)

  I also found the "collar" necessary to get the BIOS to change when you get to 'run the creation '.
  is 1,2,3,4, [Enter].

  But here's the catch: + BIOS does not account for the string... +.
  I type the string, 1234, [Enter], and it cancels my desired, change as if I said NO and set it to JBOD.
  (if I don't type the string on the right, it comes out, but stays 1raid0 and "run the creation" is still there)
  I tried on one of my other drives and it worked fine, but for some reason this drive seems not wanting me to.

  I tried the USB drive (works fine) and the BIOS sees it for what it is, so that the drive works well (from my tests)

  Would be really appreciated any ideas on what to do now, I'm out of ideas on what I did not properly
  Thank you!

  Have you included the RAID driver in Windows before you tried to reinstall the OS?
  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the RAID driver to be included when installing Windows installation.

  Regarding the change in BIOS RAID;
  I m not very good, but it might be possible that you cannot change the reason the SSD RAID option.
  If other drives are working properly and that the RAID may be changed using a common HARD disk the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

  Maybe you need to update the firmware on the SSD drive to check it out.

• Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

  In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

  Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

  1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

  2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

  3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

  Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

  If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

  Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

  I searched on google and I found that build 9600 a do something with Windows activation, but I do not know why because I already unplugged the HARD drive and I'm not using it in any other computer. Then I went into control panel of-> system and I noticed that in the part that says that the Activation Windows message "Windows is not activated" and on the right side, there is a link that says "activate Windows".  I have not to click the link again because I first want some suggestions to solve this problem. Can someone help me with this?

• Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

  Hello

  I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.
  
  I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

  Thanks for any help.

  The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

  Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

  Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

  It makes you, thank you.

• Install the EFI on new SSD partition when doing 10 costs of Windows Installer

  I have a similar problem to this topic. Windows was originally (and still is) installed on my HARD drive and I just installed my SSD recently. When I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my new SSD it has not installed the EFI partition.

  Is there a way to create a new partition on the SSD EFI (of course I have to do another new facility) or do I have to physically unplug my HARD drive before you begin?

  my personal rule, I always disconnect a disk with a partition bootable OS, just to reduce the troubles and do not mix the boot managers (I prefer to select the BIOS boot device)

• How to install Windows 7 on a new SSD, Dell Windows 7 DVD

  I have a new SSD for my workstation Precision 7510.  I need to install windows 7 on it from the DVD provided by Dell.  The DVD has no drivers and so when I try and install, I get a message about "the installation media does contain not all drivers" and the installation will not allow me to continue.  Keep in mind that my new SSD has no partition recovery or in fact any partition.  I have a drivers Cab file and I also have this unpacked on a USB key, but it does not appear as a disk when I "Browse".  Neither the new SSD - t - there no partitions...

  Do I need to format the SSD drive first?

  Could someone tell me where I can get the drivers and all that forms, they must be in?  In other words, I need to burn it to a DVD, and what would the structure of directory?  Do I have to download all the drivers separately - there are a number of EXEs on the support site, or can I use the Dell Enterprise site CAB file?

  I tried various things now since a few days and I'm losing my grip on reality :)

• Upgrade Windows 10 + installation clean + new SSD

  Hello

  My situation is that I have windows 7 Home premium OEM installed and running on a hard drive of my laptop.

  My windows 10 upgrade is ready to run. (Probably, it does not matter, but I have already improved

  front and rear devulcanization to windows 7).

  I intend to buy a new SSD and want to end up with a clean windows 10 install on the SSD and use

  my current hard drive as secondary storage.

  I've read other questions on this matter, but sometimes the answers that you have upgraded to windows 10

  on the old hard drive first, and then perform a clean installation on the SSD, and sometimes I read that

  you need to install windows 7 on SSD first and then upgrade to windows 10 from there.

  So which of these two options should I choose?

  Thanks in advance, Gilles

  Hi Gilles,.

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, you intend to buy a new SSD and want to perform a clean installation of Windows 10 on it.

  Certainly, I understand your concern.

  I want to provide you with the information that you must first buy the new SSD. Then install Windows 7 on it, activate it, and then upgrade to Windows 10.

  And even if you want to perform a new installation of Windows 10, you can do it.

  Please refer to the article below:
