• XPS 8700 - installed new SSD but still the HARD drive boots

  I just installed a Samsung 840 Pro in one of my 8700's. I used the software of Samsung cloning and cloning has been a success, as far as I know.

  Then, I changed the cables between the factory-installed HDD and SSD so that the SSD is now connected to the lower SATA port.

  After I stopped and turned on, this thing is always the start of the original HDD and I cannot understand exactly how to change what must be changed, so it starts on the SSD.

  The original HARD drive still appears as the 'C' drive while the SSD has a drive letter of the 'P '. AHCI is selected in the installer and I couldn't see all the other parameters that would load the PC to boot from SSD.

  I just need to change the drive letters? What I'm missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks again, but this has been SOLVED!

  It seems that the only and only a step that I had to do was unplug the original HARD disk.

  After that I disconnected the drive HARD original, the computer booted from the SSD without problem.

  I hope this will help someone facing the same problem in the future.

• Dell XPS One 2710 Fresh install

  I want to do a new install of the operating system with a new SSD, I intend to buy my 3 years old Dell XPS One 2710. It is my understanding that the Windows operating system authorization key is integrated into the motherboard. I think it is in the BIOS from what I've read.

  My question is if I install a new hard drive and do a clean from scratch the Windows OS authorization key install will still be valid and knit?  Moreover, would this work if I tried to do a clean install of Windows 10? Thank you!

  Throw the DVD in the trash if its for Windows 8.0 which is end of life. A DVD can be refused by SecureBoot. Also the Windows 8.0 installation and then allowing Windows Update for Windows 8.1 will lead to catastrophic performance.

  Its really simple to do theres just a bunch of information about the editions at the beginning... which often get confused. It seems that you are sure that your edition 8.1 Windows (Home) is however. Take a look at the associated tutorial video too:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Is6I9B9kjFM&list=PL1RkaknDn7v9wEeh0YXFqOFsrmws-9fYn&index=1

  This video tutorial is more direct because it focused only on Windows 8.x OEM with a UEFI BIOS licenses that apply to your system. It omits all details on retail licenses and hardware legacy. Note the .isos used in the tutorial video are Windows 8.1 with Update 2 and not Windows 8.1 with update 1 as shown.

• Dell XPS 8700 - How to install Windows XP on it

  Hello

  I have read on this forum that it was possible to install Win XP on XPS 8500 and wanted Trailblazers thanks!

  I was wondering if someone has even tried to install XP on the 8700?

  I should receive my XPS 8700 with Win 7 Premium on this topic next week?

  I then unplug the original HD and try to install XP on one of my free SATA 3 SSD.

  Also, very probably I will change the video card for another model with a compatible driver that I used for a few years in another i7 PC (I have a spare card).

  The early problem would be drivers, in particular drivers Ethernet/LAN

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  Please note that I prefer (in spite of having a legal copy for Win 7 and Win 8 Pro lying around) Win XP for my typical usage.* *.

  Thank you

  XPSTester

  I got the PC.

  Step 1: Unit under test and recovery CD made.

  Step 2: BIOS Mode changed SATA AHCI RAID Mode changed.

  Step 3: Air conditioner stops. HARD drive disconnected original. SSD connected instead.

  Step 4: Windows XP is installed from the CDROM. PC works fine, super fast.

  Step 5: Realtek Ethernet controller installed (see the link above, thanks again Sandeep! :-).) Surf the Internet, it is now possible and, therefore, all the rest. The most important step accomplished :-).

  Step 6: Install my own ATI video card and drivers Realtek Audio & HDMI. Playing music and video on an HDTV in Mode Extended accomplished!

  I got 5 points at issue in Device Manager after installing Win XP.

  3 of them have been solved by various software to Intel.

  2 of those remaining are related to Wireless & Bluetooth.

  This is the best I could do at the moment... :-)

  If I try to simply extract the content and install it manually, the extracted folder contains only two files:

  zlibwapi.dll

  Is there something wrong with the Dell Update Package original?  I have re-uploaded several times, but still have the same error.

  Also, I have the same problem with the Application of Dell (Version 1.4.2000.0, A07) update to the XPS 8700.  The installation fails and if I manually extract the contents of the package, only the two files above are displayed.

  I would be grateful if someone could help me solve this problem.

  Thank you.

• HP Photosmart Premium C309g not install on Dell XPS 8700

  It was to find work as a printer ethernet with my Dell Optiplex 790 on Windows 7 Pro, and Windows 8 Pro.

  Have a new PC now... the Dell XPS 8700.

  At first, I had problems adding network printers that I've never had before. Had to do with my installation of drivers GotomyPC and kernel, I suppose. Found a GP to disable doctor who was not allowing the kernel drivers must be loaded and sets.

  Then I tried to install the printer C309g. The printer has detected and tried to install it and was stuck at 42% for about 1 to 2 hours. I restarted and then uninstalled... Uninstall becomes far and then stops now. Followed the instructions with my ESET security.

  Then I tried again... it installed the driver but could not find the printer (which was the and connected)... tried to add a device a few times with no luck.

  Uninstalled (abandoned again separated by the uninstall). Any suggestions on how I can get this printer working again?

  SOLVED

  Don't know what thing took care of him, but I ran the HP uninstall for all-in-one and I uninstalled ESET and be on the safe side, even uninstalled gotomypc (which shouldn't matter). Then tried to install it again and it worked very well. I'm leaning towards a combination of ESET (Version 7) and the uninstall utility that probably did the trick. Since reinstalled ESET and gotomyPC and everything seems OK now. It can even help to unplug and plug in the printer (wall plug) since these printers sometimes have problems of power even when you have plugged into the wall outlet and the printer seems to be OK, but this isn't somehow.

• Dell XPS 8700 Windows 10 questions with SD card reader

  Hi, I bought a new Dell XPS 8700 three months ago.  It comes with Windows 8, even if I asked for preinstalled Win10.  The Win10 upgrade process was fairly straightforward.  However so far three times the SD card reader stopped working.  I fix it by reinstalling the drivers.  Its not working again and my USB stopped working also.  Is there a background process that interferes with USB / SD card drivers?  Anyone else noticed this behavior.

  Rgds Frank

  You can try this:

  Go into Device Manager, and then double-click the entry for your SD card reader. Assuming that he has one, click on the power management tab, and uncheck the box 'allow the PC turns off... ». Now, do the same thing in Manager of devices for all your USB root hubs.

  Then go to the options screen to win 10 powers, click on advanced settings and turn off hybrid sleep. Reboot and see if that helps.

• Question microphone Dell XPS 8700

  Hi, I had a problem identical to that described in this forum post:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3513/t/19613125

  Where my microphone is always so calm and creates a very large amount of white noise or static on this specific computer (a dell XPS 8700), but works fine on all other computers. I have already tried to connect on the front and rear mic ports, uninstalling and reinstalling the driver software, using different microphones, using a converter USB 3. 5 mm and adjusting the settings of microphones. It's all just too quiet and increasing the static gain becomes unbearably noisy.

  So, I expect to have this problem resolved in the same way, in a sound card to try being sent because the built-in drivers simply do not work as they should. Although if there is another solution, I would be happy to hear it.

  Thanks in advance.

• Dell XPS 8700 replace / add mSATA SSD

  I have a new Dell xps 8700 and I put in an mSata 500 GB SSD, planned on getting 2 TB hard drive and simply run the pc of the ssd. My problem is the operating system. I have the recovery disk and the disk from Dell drivers. the pc came with Windows 8.1, I upgraded to 8.1 Pro with Media Player. I don't think that the Dell disk will do a clean install of OS 8.1, and I'm not sure to recover the operating system and disk set, since I upgraded to 8.1 PRO. I don't really have a problem with just the Windows 8.1, and then do the upgrade again. I think maybe even the simplest would be to try Windows 10 on it, I ran beta Windows on other computers. My Question is that I have upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1, I'll be able to get the full version if I try to recover / and with the correct product key. or do I use the recovery disk, and then try to make the OS drive / and collect the key?

  If you create recovery discs using Dell software, it will install windows 8.1 as if you bought the computer fresh from the factory with all the software that Dell gave you etc.  You then upgrade to windows 8.1 pro via the same method as you have done before, however if they gave you a product key, you should be able to just pop that in and make the upgrade.  You could make an image of your HARD drive, then run everything on the SSD by cloning the drive for the SSD.

• XPS 8700 - incompatibility eSATA card

  Hello

  I have read elsewhere on the incompatibility between a Dell XPS 8500 and a PCIe 1 X eSATA card that the user had installed.  The user declares that the card was not recognized by Device Manager and thus went inoperative.  I don't remember the problem is resolved.

  Of course, I didn't read about this problem when I too lived the same problem on my XPS 8700.  I installed a new card eSATA PCIe 1 x slot and Bingo! -absolutely nothing.

  I don't think that the PF to this problem are relevant because the XPS specification is concerned there is no card on board.  Updated XPS to update its BIOS bit after I ordered new computer (about 2 weeks).

  Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to try?

  Is that what someone else has similar problems and, if so, Dell "on the case"?

  Best regards

  Mike

  There are 2 questions and none of them are associated with Dell.

  Safe Boot must be off CSM and legacy with Roma option on.

  The card must be PCI-E version 2.1 or 3.0 to work. The power supply of the bus and clock speed are not compatible to 1.0 or 2.0.

  OLDER PCI - E 1.0 and 2.0 cards will be "seen" because the PCI-E bus will not downclock to version

  1.0 on the X 1 slot.

• XPS 8700, 10 Windows, Realtek Maxx Pro Audio missing features?

  Good afternoon!

  With my Dell PC provided Audio! The program worked great on windows 8.1, but today it's upgrade to windows 10 and the program has stopped working! On the contrary, it runs, but partially works (screenshots). Please help, what should I do? (My computer: DELL XPS 8700)

  

  

  Here's how to solve the problem and get back to your old Realtek HD audio driver on the 8700 XPS.  This will restore the Maxx Pro Audio functionality.

  Open Control Panel, and then select System
  * Click (left) advanced system settings
  * Click the Hardware tab
  * Click on "Device Installation settings" and then click "No, let me choose what to do" and "never install driver from Windows Update. Click on save changes. This step is important, or even updates Windows will always write the Windows 8.1 driver
  * Open Control Panel - programs and features, select the Audio from Realtek driver and uninstall
  * Reboot the system
  * Install the audio driver Realtek Windows 8.1
  XPS - 8700_Audio_Driver_N4TKF_WN_6.0.1.7016_A00. EXE
  * Restart the system. Don't forget to select your Realtek Audio as audio device by default if you have several devices on your computer

  It worked for me.  Let me know if you have any questions.

• Please help trouble Code 43 error graphics card for XPS 8700 (as well as the disappearance of sleep/Standby Mode) (Windows 10)

  I got my XPS in 2014 and my warranty of service completed in 2015 Jan before I installed Windows 10. So since I've upgraded to Windows 10 I started having problems with by XPS 8700. Now, I have no guarantee. I thought he would go better once they have released an update of the BIOS and it did for a while unfortunately in recent months, I noticed two major issues.

  (1) upon the starting and restarting my computer, my monitor does not end up receiving the signal from the computer and remains dark.

  -Checking that it is not a problem with the monitor by testing with other computers

  -J' checked in the Device Manager and there was a next yellow alert for graphic cards / NVIDIA GeForce GT 635

  -By clicking on, he showed me this: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

  Unfortunately, it is not the only problem with the graphics card.

  (2) "sleep" my mode is gone (it is related to graphics and BIOS).

  -J' tried the go in power to add setting but it was not yet listed.

  -I went to the command prompt and looked powercfg.exe that's what I discovered:

  C:\Windows\System32>Powercfg - a

  The following sleep States are available on this system:

  The following sleep States are not available on this system:

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  Hybrid sleep

  Standby (S3) mode is not available.

  Now I really wish I could start or restart my pc without staring at a blank screen and the problem of code 43 with Nvidia GeForce GT 635. Also, I would if I could have the option to upgrade my PC to sleep. I really miss it and do not have to constantly reboot my computer to be able to see anything on the monitor.
  

  I hope someone can help me with these questions without having to reset the pc and reinstall, all over again, that the problem still exists in other cases (I don't have a copy of the installation of programs pre-installed dells so...). This computer is only 2 years old, it didn't need to be retired.

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 (PCI\VEN_10DE & DEV_1280) the card is physically wrong and needs to be replaced.
