Re: Satellite C50-B-158 - COA Windows necessary

Hello

We just bought an and its total nine, but there is no windows below sticker. Are there changes how to get windows cd - key, if we still need? Is it hidden in the battery? Or bios?

Could you please provide information how to detect?

Windows 8 are so horrible, can't wait for free windows 10

Thank you

Hi Ploutonas

Maybe it sounds silly now but you do not need Windows product key and if you did, it would be useless. Why?

You got your machine with pre-installed operating system, the so-called recovery image. This preinstalled recovery image already contains the valid license code and when you connect your computer to the internet it would be activated automatically.

Copy of this recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and you should do is to create a recovery media bootable use preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator. All this is described in the document s user manuals.

In the future, if there is a problem with the preinstalled OS or HARD drive you can use this recovery media and reinstall the original recovery image and start using your laptop with factory settings again. After the first connection there will be activated again. Good thing is you can use this recovery without limitation media, so there is no reason to have the license code. You don't need it.

Please create this support as soon as possible.

I hope you now understand how it works. If you still have questions, feel free to ask.

    Hello

    According to specifications specification , you got your laptop with the preinstalled version of Win8.1.
    With other words, your laptop has been pre-installed with original recovery image designed for this model of laptop. Preinstalled recovery image should not be enabled.

    Recovery image is also saved on the HARD drive and it is possible for you to create bootable recovery media (backup recovery) that you can use for the installation of original recovery image.

    If I understand you right you try to use your laptop with the original recovery image again. Is this good?

    I really don't know what's the problem here, but after the first start, connect your laptop to the Internet and complete the installation. Preinstalled Windows must be activated automatically.

  • Satellite C50 - Has PSCJEE und Windows 7 Pro

    verybody,

    I have a problem that Windows 7 Professional on the Toshiba Satellite installation described in the header. I have the operational system (after disabling secure boot, activating the boot of CSM, getting HD MBR and reformatting).

    But I can't find the proper drivers. Drivers for WiFi, LAN, USB etc. are missing, and Toshiba doesn't offer its support page. Toshiba does support Windows 8.1 for this laptop which is unacceptable because Windows 7 is still a BONE of life and I can't make friends with Windows 8.1.

    Does anyone know what drivers I need and where can I get them?

    Thanks in advance

    Mike

    Dear Mike

    Vista is also living OS but nobody uses it and it has long been not supported for many models of laptop computers. Problem is that Toshiba and no matter what other laptop manufacturer can offer support for Win7 on all models of laptops forever.

    After the departure of Win8 many models still supported for Win7, but I noticed that from the moment where Toshiba has begun to offer laptops that are equipped to support Win8.1 for Win7 was not so important no longer.
    > Anyone know what drivers I need and where can I get them?
    What drivers? You need to know what hardware your laptop and try to find the drivers for older models of Win7 supported. It seems so easy, but it is not so easy to identify and find it all.

    For example, this model should be
    -HM70 Express Chipset
    -Intel GPU
    Map - Atheros WLAN + BT
    -Realtek LAN card

    And so on.

  • Satellite C50 - B - 14 d - Windows 10 UEFI/MSC (and USB support)

    Microsoft now offer Windows 10 free download
    (although for the moment they call it Windows Technical Preview).

    I have it on my laptop C50 - B - 14 d. There are 2 separate but, I think, related problems.

    First of all, back on the Windows 8 Toshiba Office puts different icons, but they do NOT appear on the desktop Windows 10 (quite obviously).

    If I could download these routines, that would solve this problem, and also, I hope, the problem I'm about to describe.

    The particular icon from Toshiba that I miss relates to the parameters (and may even call it).
    This allows me to move from the laptop of UEFI to CSM and set a USB key instead of a HARD drive as the primary location of the operating system to load.

    The advantage of the desktop icon is that it allows these changes from Windows itself.
    To do this, laptops require generally the user presses a button (for example, F12) when the machine is fed up.

    I used this a few weeks ago for load Linux Mint on the laptop.
    The problem is that F12 does any more work in this context.
    (I tried also in vain F2 and F8.)
    Judging by the hurries of Windows loads, it seems that the machine is set to UEFI mode.

    Please help me get this laptop for dual boot. Thanks in advance.

    Hi frank,.

    I guess the icons called are Toshiba applications that were released for the Win 8.1 System.
    Of course these apps software aren t compatible and made to win 10.

    To be honest, I don't think you can use these software to Toshiba as part of win 10 right now.

    First win them all 10 (Windows Technical Preview) isn't a final product, his release even no candidate. There are a lot of bugs, and I can't imagine than software which is not put to the test and to provide this system would work properly.

    But your expereinec Win 10 is appreciated... I'm very interesting to win 10.
    I'll try to test this system in the next time, but I'm not going to use it in my production environment. just as a test system.

  • Satellite C50 - secure boot not configured correctly build 9600

    Hello

    Recently bought a refurbished nine Toshiba Satellite C50 8.1 of windows operating system. Was very happy with it but found the message 'not properly configured SecureBoot 9600 building "watermark in the lower right corner of my office. '.

    Decided to search the Internet for a resolution and after being gone on 3 Troubleshooting sites, discovered on the necessary BIOS configuration, but he warned that it was for experienced users who know their stuff on the technical aspects of computers. While I am computer literate, I'm not someone who likes to mess with the advanced options. Then, I came across a reliable computer blog that had a detailed post on SecureBoot.

    (Link to the blog post and specfic):
    www.techrepublic.com/blog/Windows-and-Office/deal-with-the-secureboot-isn't-configured-correctly-watermark-in-windows-81/)

    I thought that that would solve my problem, and I have to admit that he helped, telling me to use windows powershell as a precaution before using the BIOS Setup. I was glad I did as it came in saying that I have a policy of SecureBoot of the present failure on my laptop which case I have to request technical support for a specific system solution that would generally be an update of the firmware.

    I tried to call, but the line was busy and estimated it might be easier to post this question on a forum.

    If anyone has an answer please help as I would like to really activate SecureBoot if possible, I believe that computers must be set up with the best possible security options and makes me feel comfortable in knowing that it is implemented safely.

    Someone commented on the blog and posted this solution:

    The fix for the registry to remove the watermark is as follows.
    1. start the registry with the Admin (C:\Windows\regedit) rights Editor
    2. navigate to the following location
    -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------policies------system.
    3. here, the two values "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin ' and 'EnableLUA 'the value' 0'.

    You can also try to activate the boot option secure in the BIOS (in which case it is not already selected)
    To enter the BIOS, press F2 during the turn on/off the device.

    Also recommend that you check this page from Microsoft:

  • Satellite C50 - can't activate Bluetooth!

    I just bought a laptop Satellite C50 64-bit with windows pre-installed 8.1.
    According to the specifications of the product, it has integrated bluetooth (using the Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter?) But I can't find a way to activate. I've been in PC configuration-> PC and peripherals, but bluetooth is not listed there.

    However, in flight Mode I have seen bluetooth with a slide on/off switch button but it is grayed out so I can't activate it. What can I do now? Help, please. I'm desperate. Would be very grateful for any * I can follow simple instructions - I'm not a geek!

    Thank you.

    Before you begin to discuss your problem can you please post the exact model name or the full model number so that we can check the specifications for your model of laptop.

  • Satellite C50-A-19 t - very low display

    Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-19 t Windows 8 and recently the display is almost non-existent.
    When I start the machine, I see about the Toshiba Logo and that's it – even, it is difficult to see.

    What I tried:
    (1) external Monitor - external monitor works fine (connected via VGA).
    (2) I have tried the Fn/F4 key to chang what display, tried a few settings and still nothing on the laptop screen
    (3) I have obviously checked the brightness, it's almost max.
    (4) I removed the battery and power, left computer laptop for a while, then tried to turn on the back with the battery still out - nothing else.
    (5) I googled like crazy and tried to remove the battery & power, press and hold the power button / stop for 60 + seconds, made 5 - 10 times in all, still nothing when I power on
    (6) I replaced the screen with another similar toshiba that I know works - it's exactly the same thing.

    Is there anything else that I'm missing here?

    The laptop works like a dream when connected to an external monitor... and I have removed and reloaded all drivers display, reset the CMOS, etc..

    I am confused now and it is one of the children with homework, so my ears get sore!

    PLS HELP!

    > 1) external Monitor - external monitor works fine (connected via VGA)

    It is most important information that you have provided in your message.
    In case the external monitor is OK, the GPU/motherboard should also be OK.

    From my point of few display panel (backlight) is defective.
    The backlight of the display is not working properly.

    You said that you have replaced the screen well, compatible display board?

  • Satellite C50 - update Windows questions

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite C50 windows 8 year last for my partner (who has the patience of a gnat and click on everything and nothing), when windows updates were installed on a month ago, she lost the office link, she kept flashing on and outside. She managed to access the Internet through internet Explorer tab (only for the bingo & ebay lol).

    An other recent windows update took forever to load then a failure to configure changes return messages that froze the laptop.

    Yesterday, I managed to return to the default value, all settings, after all personal preferences, I went to update the page to change the settings to apply updates before installing, and he said he had to be updated before choosing the updates!

    I'm back there again and I was wondering if there was a specific update that is causing all this trouble. Although my bank balance is looking better, I'll throw this lappy in the bin and just buy another!

    Help, please. Thanks :)

    Hello

    In general, I agree with the view of s IronMan.
    The point is that you can always set the computer laptop initial configuration using the recovery procedure.

    After this procedure the system windows will install updates from Microsoft.
    This may take some time and the unit must be restarted several times during this procedure.

    A system update will install before other updates have been installed.
    Therefore, this process could take a little longer.

    In addition, you will need to update to the latest system 8.1 Win the old Win 8.
    This can be done after have installed all updates to Win 8.
    The Win 8.1 update should be done as recommended by Toshiba.

    The complete step by step instruction can be found here:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

    You will be also informed about updates of Toshiba Toshiba service station preinstalled.
    In this case, it will be very easy to get the latest version of the driver.

    I hope this helps a little

  • Windows 7 Installation on Satellite C50-A-1 possible?

    Thank you for reading my topic.

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1 and I can't install Windows 7 on it.

    I updated the BIOS V1.30 again after that, I have only the Secure Boot option to enable or disable

    There is no option to switch to the CSM or inheritance, because I know that this MUST be done before I can install Windows 7.

    Is it possible to install a Win7 on this laptop?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I ve checked the download from Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp page and I see your model of laptop is not supported for Win7, so I think that it is meaningless to install if the drivers, tools, and utilities are not available for download.

  • Install Windows 7 on Satellite C50-A-1JT

    Hello world

    I bought a brand new satellite C50-A-1JT PSCJGE of Romania with no OS.

    First, I tried to install Windows 7 for about one day and does not start, on DVD or USB, only Windows 8, but after I searched on this topic, I discovered that I need to change my settings to MSC Boot UEFI bios and disable the startup of the Secué.

    NOT A CHANCE. Instead of a normal BIOS I have that Setup Utility from Toshiba and I have only the option of Boot Order and Secure Boot, who don't have not helped me.

    I thought that my BIOS is outdated (1.10)
    So went on the Toshiba site and performed a search for an update of the BIOS and the only one was the following:
    [BIOS 1.30-VICTORY for a Satellite C55 - has, C50 - A: http://www.toshiba.com.ro/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?LNG=27&service=SE&selC fulltext = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 312 & selProduct = 793 4 & selShortMod = 4628 & language = 47 & selOS = 46 & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & count ry = all & selectedLanguage = 47 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 90346 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

    .. but unafortunatelly, it's not available.

    So, I have no chance of getting Windows 7 on this laptop?... because I hate 8

    Many machines Win8 is supported for Win7 so, in general, you shouldn't have a few big problems. As you've written, you must first change the settings of the BIOS - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

    After that restart your computer and press F12. When the boot menu appears on the screen put Win7 installation disc into the optical disc drive, select CD/DVD as first boot device and press ENTER. ODD must begin to read the Win7 installation disc and the installation program will appear on the screen.

    On this path, I installed Win7 on my U940 satellite.

    Please try again and post comments.
