Hello

It's pretty easy to perform the upgrade. Read [translation] the Microsoft support page:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/help/upgrading-from-Windows-Vista-to-Windows-7

* Note *, first and foremost, you need to enter the Bios (F2/esc at startup of the laptop) and the value of cd/dvdrom as the 1st boot device in the boot option. Press F10 to save and exit. Insert the Setup disk and install

  • Qosmio F50 - 10Z Bios Update crashed - how a cmos reset?

    I have a Qosmio F50 - 10Z and prompted by toshiba I downloaded the Bios Update and started to install.
    My screen saver came and it crashed.

    Not turn off (even after pressing the power button for 15 seconds).
    The drums and then put back. Computer skills on but the screen is blank and will not boot to the top.

    Tried to take part to Flash the bios by removing battery cmos/rtc (whatever it's called) but cannot find the battery and got to the point where I wasn't ready to dismantle any more (nobody else never disassembled a?)

    Could not find information or diagram or picture where the battery has been on the net... manual really useless laptop)

    Found reviews records of crisis, but I don't know what that means.

    So, how to I reset the bios?

    Please help - you're my only hope.

    > So, now, I find the cmos/rtc battery (if it's rechargeable explains so why does not easily localized) removed, he persevered on in a more accessible place - always reset BIOS

    Removing battery RTC would not help reset you mate sorry to the ROM BIOS module but what you did was completely useless
    It seems that the ROM modules where the BIOS is stored, was not properly flashed or something went wrong during the flash procedure

    In case of bad you the mobo is unfortunate but I think that Flash module ROM once more with a disc of crisis could help solve this case
    But the fact is that flashing the ROM module with a disc of crisis can be done by a technician of Toshiba ASP.
    That's why I recommend contacting the guys in your country and ask for flashing ROM

  • Qosmio F50 - 10Z with windows XP

    Hi all

    I just bought an a Qosmio F50 - 10Z to run a CAD program, which does not work with Vista, unfortunately. I would like to keep Vista and add windows XP in a Setup to dual boot with Vista BootPro.

    Everything seems simple so far, but I am a novice to what follows. Apparently, after some research, I learned to integrate a XP disc with the necessary drivers. I'm a bit of a loss as to what drivers to collect etc so I went to ask the advice of a COMPUTER technician and he said that unless the drivers are available on the toshiba site then it is not possible to install XP at all.

    Is this true?, or is there anything else we can do? The interest to buy the laptop was running the CAD program (which only works on XP).

    Any help is very appreciated.

    > I'm a bit of a loss as to what drivers to collect etc so I went to ask the advice of a COMPUTER technician and he said that unless the drivers are available on the Toshiba site then it is not possible to install XP at all.

    That's nonsense!
    Of course, you will be able to install Win XP but the point is that a lot of portable devices does not work with Win XP due to unavailable drivers or tools

    The XP drivers are not available on the Toshiba driver page, but you can find it on other sites.

    For example;
    Sounds and driver LAN can be downloaded from the Realtek page.
    WLAN driver Intel page or here:

    Driver BT from here:

    Touchpad driver can be used other mobile computer series

  • Qosmio F50 - 10Z overheating - Cooler recommendations

    Hello

    My Qosmio F50 - 10Z Guard stops due to overheating. I think Toshiba then set up this kind of configuration would have kept this question in mind. in any case, I thought that the solution would be to get a notebook cooler, but the problem is that the Qosmio F50 fan on the far upper right side and most portable coolers have fans more near the Center. I would be grateful if someone could recommend a good portable cooler for this model (or any other solution to the problem of overheating).

    Thank you

    Rehan.

    Rehan salvation!

    I can understand you, but I have at this point, I must say that I have too many Qosmio F50. He models the F50-10B s and also has Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz but it s quick model with GeForece 9700 M GTS (I know your model contains only 9600M).

    What can I say about this? Well, first of all, I love this laptop. I love the laptops with 15.4 screen so it s not not little and not wholesale. The design of the silver/black is absolutely nice with white lighting. Not the same boring design than on most other phones. All my games work well on this laptop.

    On the issue of cooling, Windows and Office, the laptop is very cool fan doesn t usually works. On my Qosmio laptop I m using two power modes:
    (1) profile of PowerSaver I use for Internet and office: here I defined the maximum processor at 75 State and as cooling method I put in battery. If I can put a lot of power and it s enough for Internet and office.
    (2) balanced: I use it for my games so I maximum cooling performance and the status of the maximum processor that I have set to 100%.

    Moreover, I clean my Qosmio laptop every 3-4 months using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans and so I don't have to disassemble the laptop. I think that's really good.
    Here, you can get more information about this topic: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

    If you have any other questions, please let me know! :)

  • Qosmio F50 - 10Z revolves around 80oc degress

    Hi guys,.

    Have a very little bit of trouble with my Qosmio F50 - 10Z, the GPU (9600M GT) revolves around 80 ^ o ^ c degrees when using, the system has been cleaned with air compress and is in perfect condition of the art, I use the laptop on a table computer as well to ensure air flow.

    Thank you very much.

    AFAIK Qosmio F50 is old enough laptop model and if you use every day on base maybe is time for cleaning professionals. Compress the air is OK but more of dust is just inside and cold air and cooling rack may be blocked by dust.

    I've seen repeatedly disassembled portable and it is raise what it looks like inside after two or three years of use. In my old notebook I found cat s hair.

    What is with cooling fan? It runs at maximum speed?

  • Screen not switch on the Qosmio F50 - 10Z

    Hello

    Recently, I received my laptop Toshiba Qosmio F50 - 10Z (yesterday), I am very pleased with. However I seem to have a problem with the screen does not reverse when you start the laptop in sleep or hibernation mode. I tried to change the output screen (Fn + F5) but it makes no difference, and the laptop screen is always off. I need to cut my machine (5 seconds by pressing the button / stop) and restart manually. Then, the screen lights up again.

    It doesn't seem to be drivers updated compared to those I already have / preinstalled.

    I hope someone can help solve my problem.

    Thank you

    The story is really strange for me also
    I'm 100% sure that Toshiba provides new laptops and if you bought a laptop with a few scratches then you should blame your laptop for the same problem dealer

    Maybe the dealer of the laptop used this camera for a show or similar

  • Boot from the disk ESATA on the Qosmio F50 - 10Z

    Hello

    is it possible to boot from an external drive using the ESATA port?
    I have BIOS 1.60 installed but I don't see an option for ESATA?

    What a USB? Laptop is a Qosmio F50 - 10Z

    Thank you

    I think that it of not possible to start from eSATA. The BIOS should provide this type of functionality.
    I've never tried, but I think that's not possible.

    As far as I know, it must be possible to boot from a USB device.
    The BIOS does not support this then try it.

  • Someone knows how to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit to dm3?

    Hi all

    Recently, I bought my computer laptop pavilion dm3-1028tx (sp9300, 4 GB ddr3). Unfortunely only it comes with oem windows 7 Home premium 32-bit instead of windows 7 64-bit.

    Due to the characteristic of 32 bits, its only 3 GB of ram could be used.

    IM plan to upgrade my windows 7 Home premium 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7 home premiun.

    I tried to contact microsoft in my country, they said I should ask to HP, if I could spend my windows because its OEM.

    Someone knows how to upgrade my windows 7 32 bit to windows 7 64 bit without having to buy a new one? Please help me I do not know.

    Thanks a lot guys

    Unfortunately, you will need to buy the 64-bit version, unless you can get HP to you give 64-bit free citing inability to use all of the memory as a customer support/advocacy.   But you should check on HP website to see if your model was first 64-bit drivers.

    He will have to do a new installation as well.  And if HP is not actively support 64-bit for your model, you will lose the HP software (most consider bloatware anyway).  You will also lose built in recovery option.  So, at least, make sure you create your restore disks.

    You may be able to wash to recover the partition, but I don't know how you would be able to use it without recovery software that HP has loaded.

    I have a Toshiba Windows Vista laptop and I want to upgrade to Windows 7. I have two user accounts and I was just wondering that during the upgrade can I still keep the files that I have on the accounts or they will be deleted? Thank you.

    If you make a way to update your programs and files will be kept. A custom installation will remove your programs and files.

    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
    You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
    If you have any general questions about reinstalling Windows , please see this site:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
