• I have Windows XP Pro. Can I upgrade to Windows 7 without having to first install Vista?

  I have Windows XP Pro. and lose the connection with my printer (HP Officejet 6500 and I was told that I had to upgrade to Windows 7) Can I upgrade to Windows 7 without having to first install Vista?

  I have Windows XP Pro. and lose the connection with my printer (HP Officejet 6500 and I was told that I had to upgrade to Windows 7) Can I upgrade to Windows 7 without having to first install Vista?

  You can - clean installation however.  No direct path from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  If the machine is old, but - I wouldn't bother.  You will end up by it hate because it is slow and probably blame the operating system.

  The upgrade to Windows 7 is not a solution for the loss of connectivity to a printer - not a logic.

  Is what SPECIFIC printer this?

  HP Officejet 6500 has e-all-in-One Printer series - E710

  • HP Officejet 6500 has e-All-in-One Printer - E710a
  • HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One - E710n

  HP Officejet 6500 All - in - One Printer series - E709

  • Printer all-in-one HP Officejet 6500 - E709a
  • HP Officejet 6500 - E709n wireless all in one printer
  • HP Officejet 6500 - E709q wireless all-in-one printer

  If you download and install the latest appropriate WIndows XP complete software driver for your printer and maybe upgrade the firmware of the printer itself-, it would probably solve your problem.  If you use it as a wireless printer (it is printed through your network, but not connected by a cable [ethernet]) so you can check for updgrades to the firmware of your router (level) and reconfigure your network completely wireless if you start with a good foundation.

• Install the first element on a ultrabook without dvd player

  Hello, is it possible to install my first item 11 (bought last week) on my Asus ultrabook without DVD player? I already install the program with the DVD on my desk, but I need to use it on my ultrabook when I move. Thanks in advance.

  It is located on the Adobe site, on the page of Premiere Elements.

• Portege Z930 - upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro

  I bought the upgrade to 7 to 8 during this promotional offer in early 2013, but so far I was expecting a better time perform the upgrade. I'm doing the upgrade having prepared a USB pen with the ISO, I downloaded in 2013.

  However, after 20 minutes of work, about 99% it is said that the upgrade has failed.

  I read somewhere that it is perhaps because of the recovery of my Portege partition.

  Someone have faced similar problems?
  Please consider that I am performing an upgrade instead of a clean install.

  Thank you

  da

  PS and probably OT: anyone know if it is possible to obtain ISO 8.1 with the 8 with an activation code?

  As I'm not mistaken the Portege Z930 was sold with a preinstalled Windows 7 but Windows 8 extra DVDs should be part of the package.

  You do not have this DVD in Windows 8 support?

  In any case, I found a useful page that provides different information you how to put the system to Windows 8.

• Portege M750 - how to upgrade to Windows 7 without preinsatlled Vista?

  I have a laptop Portege M750 who had professional Vista on this subject.
  I removed vista and installed the RC of windows 7

  Now I have received the final windows 7 vista upgrade but can not install via Win7rc or independent to have vista first.
  I don't have a cd of vista for the laptop as it came only with the CD of windows xp for some reason any.

  The recovery partition has been deleted when installing win7 rc
  I'm downloading a torrent of vista that should work, but is a few hours

  I was wondering if there is another option for the upgrade of windows 7 to install

  Hello

  You cannot switch to Win 7 without Vista operating system preinstalled.
  In this case, you can do ONLY a clean installation of Windows 7.
  But for this, need you a Win 7 DVD and not an upgrade disk.

  I think that the laptop has been pre-installed with Vista and there is a possibility to create a Vista recovery disk.
  (but in addition you get a Win XP disk in order to have two operating systems).
  Looks like you do not have create this Toshiba Vista recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator (must be preinsatlled on the laptop), which means that you will not be able to reinstall Vista new

  I think that there is nothing to do but to buy a Windows 7 disc and do a clean install.

• WIN8 on Portege Z930 upgrade

  Hello

  I just buyed a Z930 from Toshiba Portege with Win7 Pro installed and 2 DVDs with WIN8 upgrade.

  Perfect, until I tried to do the upgrade. I changed in the BIOS, UEFI and secure, put on the market STARTING the computer with the first DVD in the DVD drive and nothing happened.

  Then I started to look on the forum and find out that two other guys managed updating according to paper of Toshiba (change the BIOS and secure boot).

  What I can do because the principal does not work.

  Please give me an advice.
  It's 12Gmodel, Core i5 vPro

  * Resolved the issue.*

  Simply make the changes in the BIOS.
  Reboot and wait until you got the message: restore the factory setting.

  Have chosen this option, put the external DVD1 with W8 from Toshiba in the STRANGE and follow the instructions on the screen. Alone will be, with the evolution of the DVD1 with each other.

  That's all. You have to W8.

• The upgrade to windows 7 without the HP Windows 7 program

  Hello

  I think the upgrade of my HP pavilion with windows vista laptop Windows 7 but missed on the upgrade program. I would like to know if the programs that came pre-installed on my laptop as Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe, microsoft Works Manager and recovery would still be there after a clean install or can I download these programs at HP and if so could you give me a link. I would also like to know if I can make the disc bootable recovery for windows 7. I would also like to know how to get the software/programs and drivers for windows 7 for my laptop and the best way to install windows 7 without programs to upgrade windows 7 HP.

  Thanks for the reply. I wandered just so I can get a download to a compatible HP Recovery Manager on Windows 7

  I don't believe that you can. The Recovery Manager which comes with a HP installed W7 is supposed to work with some serious W7 DVD's, not Vista. You can try it, but I don't think it will work. If so, that's fine.

  Here is a link of Cheryl to download some third-party programs that will create recovery discs. Then you won't need the Recovery Manager:

   

   http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/operating-systems-and-software/copying-a-recovery-disc/m-p/249208#M35802

    

  This is the last post from Cheryl.

  and also, I would like to know if the recovery partition is still there after cleaning installed

  If you choose not to delete the Vista recovery partition, it will always be there, but the once you have created your recovery DVD of Vista, you no longer have any in any way. Some people have kept and tried to make it active all in W7 and it did not work. This is because it is designed to work with Vista. I got rid of all the baggage of Vista when I did my installation on my HDX.  It provides a clean slate to work from. Vista recovery disk you did is bootable DVD and does not require the present recovery Vista Manager or partition.

  When you read the tutorial that said you that you will create "unallocated space" it erases the hard drive nice and clean so there is no more contradictory left applications for Vista. I deleted the entire disc and left nothing of Vista, including the Vista recovery partition.

  and if I use my vista recovery disks can I still go back to windows 7 using the installation disc or if I have to buy windows 7 again.

  You can use the Windows installation disc as many times as you want. as long as it's on this machine. If you go back to Vista just put the W7 disk in and try again. If you follow this tutorial of Cheryl and my instructions, you shouldn't have any problems. Here's a useful tip. During the installation of W7 you will be asked to enter your product number and activate it online.

  Choose not to: use it as a 30 day trial and when you are satisfied that everything is up and running then you can activate it on your own, as long as it is in this 30 day window.

  Just to point out, you can use the disk on any machine for a 30 day trial. If you have a friend who wants to try W7 you can lend him the disc. They will have no choice, but to use it as a trial because you have the only key to product. The product is on the box plastic and not anywhere on the installation disc. The drive is useless with a legitimate product key.

  After 30 days, Microsoft will lock them out of their computer if they do not enter a key.

  P.S. I don't have the HP Windows 7 Upgrade option. I'll buy Windows 7 in my computer store

  When you buy your drive of W7 make sure and get the upgrade because it is cheaper. It will allow you to perform a new installation you have a Vista OS works.

  The only time where you need to purchase a full version is if you install on a computer with no previous operating system on the hard drive.

  Tip: After loading of the W7 the first driver you want to install is for the video card (NVIDIA I think) you'll find out why.

• Portege Z930 - Downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.

  I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.
  But later, I deleted all partitions on my HARD drive in order to have a primary partition where to install my old Win7.

  However I can't do!

  Now I have 1 GB 119.1 unallocated space and there is no way to create a new partition from it.
  Also when I try to install Win7 it says the disc's style GPT.

  I also tried to convert it from the command prompt, but it does not work.

  You guys have any ideas what to do?

• Portege 7220 upgrading to Windows XP

  What is the best way to upgrade to Windows XP? (now 98se)
  Y at - it might be those who have already upgraded, or is there a manual for this?

  THX in advance

  Gerard (Netherlands)

  Hello

  In my opinion, you can start WXP CD von Microsoft under 98SE and there are hardware compatibility Check option. After use check my system automatically. I'm sure that almost all of the drivers are by WXP. It is possible that the infrared function and a docking station may have some problems. Portege 7220 with operating system Windows XP Home edition is not supported by Toshiba.

  Good bye
