• HP Pavilion - 27qe touch everything-i: HP Pavilion - 27qe touchscreen all-in-one PC Downgrade of Win10 of Win7 Pro 64 bit

  I ordered, from hp store-still in production, a HP Pavilion - 27qe touchscreen all-in-one.  There are 10 Windows.  I would come down to Win7 Pro 64-bit (I can buy a legal copy of win7 and do a clean install).  I understand that I would lose some features like the touch screen, but I really prefer Win7.  I'm looking for info on how to do this?  For example, where to find the proper drivers (determine which and where to download to), BIOS etc.  Drivers listed on hp for this computer are for Win10 only, there is no Win7 drivers listed.  Of course I'd first recovery disks Win10, where I always want to go to the Win10 or if Win7 is not working properly.

  Any info/help appreciated.  My wife and I share one our computer at home with Win7 on it.  Me, my wife and probably would be better to use Win7 we are used and as.

  Thank you...

  Thanks for the info WAWood.  I decided to nix the idea of decommissioning.  It would be too complicated, as you point out.  Have a good!

• Can I downgrade Satellite C875-13F of Win8 to Win7 with the same license?

  I bought a Satellite C875-13F in hury with 8 to WIN, but I would go back to win7. Is this possible with the same license code?

  With greetings, Aart

  Hello

  Check out this Microsoft page to understand the downgrade right:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en-GB/licensing/sblicensing/pages/downgrade_rights.aspx#fBid=6jf3dZU2VW0

  Windows 8 * Pro * includes downgrade rights to:
  Windows 7 Professional
  Windows Vista Business

  I think you win 8 and is NOT Pro... so you canoe downgrade... you must purchase a license for Win 7

• Satellite Z930 - question on Win8 SSD partitions

  Just got the new Z930 satellite with the following 128 GB SSD partitions

  450 MB recovery partition
  260 MB EFI system partition *.
  9.66 Gb recovery partition
  Primary partition 8 GB *.
  100.76 GB boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition *.

  Only those that are marked with * are allowed to be deleted using the windows disk management tool.

  I'm assuming that the 8 GB partition is the recovery for a factory restore media. I intend on creating recovery media of course USB (9Gbrequired according to the creator of recovery media - 16 Gb USB recommended). Delete this partition, and then expand the main partition.

  Questions:

  1. someone knows what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

  2. What is the EFI partition for?

  3. it is curious that if you take 4 GB (what the file hibernation for 6 GB of RAM should be) the 9.66 5,66 remaining and the score of 8 GB are basically the same size as the main 13.5 GB partition reported here for the z930 portege. Why Toshiba would squirrel away from the recovery media as well as space for hibernation? A way to recover the full 13.5 GB asmentioned in the z930 portege post?

  Thanks in advance

  > 1. Anyone know what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

  I guess that the 9.66 GB partition called recovery partition is created for HARD drive recovery.
  You can retrieve the laptop using recovery of HARD drive and does not require recovery or recovery USB memory stick drive.
  But I wouldn't delete this partition because you will lose the ability to recover the HARD drive recovery unit

  > 2. What is the EFI partition for?
  EFi partition contains the program loader initialization for all the operating systems (in other partitions) on the HARD disk. If don t touch.

• Satellite A210-downgrade from VISTA to XP Pro SP2 - unknown base system device

  I recently bought a laptop. On the Toshiba product page, it is listed as Satellite A210-199 (PSAFGE-05M00FG3). If I followed the link to the drivers page, he is listed as Equium A210 (PSAFGE-05M00FG3).

  the laptop came with VISTA Home premium, I don't like / want, but works perfectly. After complete installation of Windows XP SP2 home edition Professional, (latest updates, all the drivers of Toshiba home page, etc.), hardware device Manager lists a "DEVICE BASIC SYSTEM" under "system devices", for which he cannot find drivers (Yes, it automatically searches on the internet and that did not help either).

  I tried to uninstall the device and restart it, just to see what happens. And I got the ball from the standard taskbar with 'new hardware found '. Windows still do not find the drivers for it, and it still lists as a yellow exclamation in the hardware device manager. The only difference is that now he is no longer in the "system devices" section, but instead, it's an "unknown device" in the "other devices" section (you know, the big icon question yellow mark)

  After a thorough cleaning is reinstalled, it is always an "unknown device" under the heading "other devices."

  EDIT: maybe I should also mention that when I install graphics and sound card, says windows drivers I changed some important system files and I have to put the original cd with kit WXP SP2.

  Have you installed all the drivers provided on the European driver Toshiba page?

  I mean divers for card reader controller, AMD processor driver, Driver Modem, infrared Driver, etc.

  Please check all these drivers!

• 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?

  In fact you can not hear the fan for example. with pdf files

  Of course, it's normal. At the moment when you want to watch the video more graphics card performance is necessary and material to increase temperature. The motherboard sensors noticed this and cooling fan will be activated.

• Need driver WLAN Win7 for my Satellite Z930

  Hey, I've done a downgrade from win8.1 for win 7. now there are not installed devices, WLAN-driver and a USB device.

  I tried all the Driver fron the Download Support Center. But anyone not working or is accepted. Can someone help me get the correct drivers.

  Thank you

  Hello

  What Satellite Z930-xxx you have exactly?
  To my knowledge the units were equipped with three different WLan modules; Intel, Realtek or Atheros are possible would be useful to know the model number

  USB drivers are also available on the Toshiba UE driver page.
  I guess you have not installed the USB 3.0 driver and therefore the USB unknown device appears in Device Manager.

  > 1 - I try to install TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager but returns with warning "before starting the implementation of TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager Client, copy an action for TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager Server header file to the folder of installation." and I only have the file and the installation will fail.

  This file is not known to me and usually something like that should not appear if install you the software in the correct order.
  Before you start to install the Toshiba software you need to install the Toshiba value added for Windows 7 package!

  Only if this PPV was installed and restarted laptop, you can follow with other tools.

  > 2 - you have hwsetup software preinstalled on Win8, but I couldn't find this sw / even Win8 to the download pages where Toshiba can get this sw fly because it gives the possibility to configure the BIOS without waiting for the start?

  Driver package system that is available to win 8 is NOT available for Win 7.
  Instead of system driver you have installed to VAP!

  Any comments? Option Charge & sleep, but also other options like the Wake Up LAN or keyboard may discharge the battery. So in case you n t want that, disable it in the BIOS

  > 4 - if I buy Toshiba online recovery support, this will help me to install Win8 as first boot and create the partitions deleted as in "factory condition".

• Toshiba Satellite Pro R-50 b Win8.1 - win7

  Hi all

  I need help.
  My company sold a Satellite Pro R-50 b to a customer.
  This laptop has windows pro 8.1.
  The sale has been made with the option to downgrade from windows 8.1 pro to windows 7 pro.
  The customer needs to windows 7 because the 8.1 does not work with other software in its business.
  Now my question is:
  -Where is the possibility to come back? How can I do?

  I tried the 'hidden partition recover', but it still gives me an option: windows 8.1.
  The recovery cd = windows pro 8.1

  Any help?

  Best regards to all
  Luis Martins

  Hi Luis,.

  If it's a new machine, chances are that the laptop has been configured with a license (OEM) from the beginning and Windows 8.1: the machine then knows nothing about Windows 7.
  If the laptop is not was aligned for an upgrade of Windows 10 before July 29, this free option is is no longer available.

  If it absolutely must Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), I think you're looking at a new installation of W7. In this case, I would probably opt for a dual-boot configuration,
  leaving 8.1 W tact for the future, when the software uses your customer becomes 8.1/10 compatible with windows and Microsoft can lead to another case of upgrade.
  You would need in my opinion, a license key W7 Pro 'available' and a version commercial of the W7 Pro installation media, but who should not visa costs full price.

  All the best

• Satellite Z930 - Possible WiDi with the Intel Core i7 CPU?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Z930 and I am trying to expand the display of the monitor to a new TV that I just bought wireless. -Is is possible to connect to the laptop via WiDi?

  Main specifications of my laptop are:
  -Intel Core i7-3667U @2. 00 Ghz
  -Wireless LAN - AR9485WB-EG Atheros wireless network adapter

  Any ideas?

  M.

  Hello

  Intel WiDi is based on Intel technology and this support depends on the Wlan card built in Notepad.
  You need to use the Intel WiDi, Intel WLAN module which is part of the 6000 Centrino series.

  As you mentioned in you original post above; the laptop seems to be equipped with an Atheros WLan card.
  The Atheros WLan card does not support the Intel WiDi and therefore, you will not be able to use this technology.

• Control keys works do not, Win8 to Win7 downgrade. HP envy j011dx

  I have a HP Envy j011dx provided with Edition (64b9t) to the home page of Windows 8. I put in an SSD and improved RAM and installed Win 7 Pro(64bit). Everything is working great except control keys do not work.  When I hit the left ctrl key, I get [9 - and CTRL right, I get, l;]
  I have searched and tried a few different drivers looked at messages on the demotion to 7 and have not seen anything on this issue. I ran all the updates of windows and tried several different drivers. I put the old HD with W8, and it works if it is not a hardware problem. I looked at the origin of this post before doing the downgrade and it gave me the confidence to move forward with implementing Win7 on. I have until Friday to take this back to the store if I can't make it work. Any help would be appreciated. I also checked the region/language settings.

  I discovered what it was! Hallelujah! Good so I uninstalled and reinstalled Win7 Pro like 8 times. The driver IDT High - Definition (HD) is that he was causing.

  Finally, I noticed that when I hit the left CTRL mute volume was turn. Then when I hit the button Mute ctrl will work correctly. Mute on this subject would not work. Mute off it would work. I unsintalld the driver and re-installed several times to ensure that it is definitley the origin of the problem. Keys mute and volume were workign regardless if the driver has been installed. I was making reference to article http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Downgrade-HP-ENVY-15-j011dx-to-windows-7-need-help-finding/td-p/3768928 to get the rest of the drivers. WEIRD question but it is the IDT Audio, 1.0.6491.0 Version 6.10.6491 Rev: A SoftPaqNumber: SP4958 that was originally there. It's SP4958.exe. Whooo! It was a guy. I'm so happy that I found it. I like really a few Windows 7. Not looking navigation on Windows 8 and 8.1 at all!

• Where can I get the right drivers for Satellite Z930 - PT23LA - 01 009?

  A little history: I recently bought a version of Win7 to a Z930 in Auckland from PB Tech shop. I've updated to a clean version of Win8 64-bit. My Win8 seems works ok but I noticed something strange in the Toshiba PC Health Monitor - apparently the Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert is not installed, so I don't understand not his iconic display in the health monitor (but the health monitor think my SSD is in "Good" shape - maybe it's reading the INTELLIGENT of my SSD interface, or maybe it's just saying 'Good' because the integrity monitor is apparently able to operate?)

  I can easily find different versions of the Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert Utility in questionable Web sites - download, but I really prefer to get my Toshiba support drivers. Which leads to my question:

  Where can I get the right drivers for PT23LA-01 009? NZ nor the webarea to Toshiba support have this model in their menus. The closest match seems to be

  http://www.MyToshiba.co.nz/support/computers/Ultrabook/satellite-z930/pt23la-01f00n/download?OS=30

  There is probably not much difference between a PT23LA-01F and a PT23LA-01 P but it is a bit of concern to be download & install the drivers for a chip that is no my model...

  See you soon,.
  Clark

  PS: http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Features-Knowledge-Base/TOSHIBA-HDD-SSD-Alert/ta-p/347120 advise me the area downloads for Toshiba support. He also advises "not all utilities are available for each model and operating system. During the installation of utilities, install the TOSHIBA value added first. "Sigh... so maybe my problem is that I installed the Win8 drivers & utilities order when build my own-building a Win8 pass win7? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest... but if this is the case are here all other dependencies in these built?

  > Where can I get the right drivers for PT23LA-01 009?

  First series of Toshiba laptops (Australian, European, etc) is very similar to the other
  Your model of laptop Australian Satellite Z930 * PT23LA * series is the same as the European model Satellite Z930 * PT23LE * series.

  That's why the drivers, tools and utilities published for Satellite Z930 * PT23LE * series must be compatible with the Satellite Z930 * PT23LA * series.

  To get all drivers for Satellite Z930 * PT23LE *, you should check this page:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  There, you can get all win 8 - upgrade the drivers. Also the HDD/SSD Alert Utility v3.1.64.14
