Re: Satellite P875 - 31 p - upgrade to Windows 8 Pro possible?

As the owner of a Toshiba Satellite P875 - 31 p

I have 8 Windows pre-installed, but guess that's the Standard edition and ask whether it is possible to upgrade to Windows 8 pro.

Someone has had experience of this updgade?

How can I find out which version of the Windows 8 operating system is installed?
What product of Microsort should I upgrade.
Can I buy a new Windows 8 Pro OEM license?
Where to buy an upgrade of my existing (from Toshiba?) operating system

Is an upgrade to widows 8 recommended Pro?

Hello

According to the info I found on the page of Toshiba, the laptop is preinstalled with common system of 64-bit Windows 8.

If you want to upgrade this Windows 8 Pro version, you can buy the upgrade of Microsoft.

But the question is if these updates would be really necessary for you...
I dunno... This page and take a look at the details provided by Microsoft Windows 8 Pro

You can see what are the benefits of the windows 8 Pro version would provide.
Usually there is no big difference between Windows 8 and the Pro version.

    Sorry for the experience with the support of Microsoft. I wasn't expecting that. Let us try the old process to restore the system to the factory settings, uninstalling unwanted applications and then create an inplace upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. Let's see what happens this time.

  • Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro's PC OEM of Windows 8 (new installation)

    I recently bought a new PC (Sony Vaio SVL241290X, Dec 2012) with Windows 8 is installed.  I then bought a Windows 8 Pro Upgrade license.  I would like to install Windows 8 Pro as a clean install in order to reformat my hard drive and also remove pre-installed software (my PC came with 2 partitions recovery and a lot of software VAIO...).  Windows 8 Windows 8 Pro upgrade is possible, but does not allow me to do what I want, as indicated in the previous sentence.

    When I bought my Win 8 Pro license I created an iso, which I then burned on a DVD.  After spending some time to find how simply boot from the drive (had to change MODE of BOOT UEFI to LEGACY in the BIOS, that I can enter only with the key Sony 'Help'...), I was finally able to start installing Windows 8 Pro disc.

    After the start of the DVD, I reached the configuration of Windows 8 screen where I accepted the default settings (language, time, keyboard) and click "next".  I then clicked on "install now".  After a brief loading time, I get a message stating: "the product key entered don't match any available to install Windows images. Enter a different product key.  The provided only option is to click on 'OK', what I do, which returns just the on-screen 'Install now', that will make a loop back me the product key message if I click it.
    Of some Internet research, I discovered that Windows 8 keys are now included in the BIOS, this is why I am never have the opportunity to enter my new Pro license (is this correct Microsoft?).
    Can you help me?
    Things I've tried:
    1. I upgraded to Windows 8 Windows 8 Pro (in order to "update the BIOS/firmware key"...) and then returned a clean install.  It not worked as I always get the product key message.
    Things I don't want or think I should be compelled to make:
    1. install Windows 7 from the disc and then upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and remove the windows.old folder.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I never tried the upgrade in the way you describe... which I figured just enabled the features already on your machine, but wasn't sure.

    I don't think that reinstall Win 7 and the upgrade work is the nature of your upgrade method. It seems to need to win 8, not 7.

    From what I can tell, the only way for you to do the clean install would be with the real upgrade of the other versions.  The $40 or $70 a, depending on download or retail sales.

    If you are interested, I've seen a number of online stores sell upgrade Windows 8 Pro (retail) for $30 - $40 after rebate (NewEGG) and in one case $40 outright (MicroCenter). That doesn't seem right, but it seems to be like that.

    Thank you, but $40 upgrade option is one I bought (via http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/buy?ocid=GA8_O_WOL_SM_AppsOffer_FPP_Null) and I got with it.
    That's what I ended up having to do:
    1. perform a clean install of Windows 7 on my OEM Windows 8.  I installed by booting from a Windows 7 disc that allowed me to reformat the hard disk (and remove all partitions in the process).
    2. after installation of Windows 7 (not active) on a completely wiped hard drive, tried to boot from my disk Windows 8 Pro (bought from link above) to see if I could now preform a clean install.  Surprisingly, it did not work, I got the same message that I received before ("the entered product key does not match... (', see my first post).  This leads me to believe that my key OEM Windows 8 original (not pro) is indeed stored in the BIOS/firmware somewhere...
    3. given that start from my Windows 8 Pro disc does not work, I did the upgrade to Pro 8 for Windows 7.  I chose to 'Keep nothing', but still finished with a folder Windows.old (about 10 GB), I simply deleted.
    In the end, I got what I wanted: an installation of Windows 8 Pro without any software preinstalled or wasted scores OEM/manufacturer.
    This isn't the way I think it should have been done, but I think it's the way Microsoft is forced to make.
  • Windows 8 people's Republic of CHINA (unilingual OEM version in simplified Chinese) can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro * full * English?

    I bought a Dell XPS One 2710 in China that came pre-installed with Windows 8 RPC. It seems that it is a unique language locked in simplified Chinese version.

    The standard procedure to add another language changes only partially certain interfaces of applications in English, but the operating system is always in Chinese.

    1 - is the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with Windows 8 Pro Pack as described here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

    2 - or buy a Windows 8 Pro System Builder and just reinstall

    Solution 1 is my favorite option, I want to keep the existing configuration and the Dell applications.

    Does anyone have experience making 1 or 2?

    Thank you.

    You should upgrade to Windows 8 Pro in Chinese, then you can download the English Language Pack for free:

    To the top of Windows 8 for Windows 8 Pro:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/feature-packs

    Language packs are available for Windows 8 and for Windows RT

    Thank you Andre, everything is now in English!

    For all the foreigners living in China who want to have Windows 8 English I highly recommend to do as described below. It will add the cost of a license of Windows 8 Pro Pack, but will save you hours of waiting, of discussions, resettlement and uncertainty.

    Windows 8 CPP that comes pre-installed on all computers OEM in China is locked with simplified Chinese only to the language of the OS.

    You can buy Windows 8 Pro Pack, which upgrades the CPP of 8 Windows preinstalled on your new computer to a full-blown Windows 8 Pro with Media Center

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/feature-packs

    Pack Windows 8 Pro can be purchased online from China, and you can pay with Paypal

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/terms-conditions-feature-packs

    Windows 8 Pro has all the features to download and add language packs.

    Start the upgrade using the following screenshots

    http://winsupersite.com/Windows-8/Windows-8-release-preview-add-features-Windows-8

    You will need an address in China and turn off your VPN before you start the upgrade.

    There is only one choice of product to buy the Windows 8 Pro Pack.

    The update took a few hours of downloading so start at night and sleep at home.

    After the upgrade you have Windows 8 Pro with Media Center always configured with Chinese as their main language.

    You need then download and install the English language according to these screenshots pack

    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5850-language-pack-install-uninstall-Windows-8-a.html

    The US English language pack is 154 MB and may take a few hours to download as well.

    Restart, then return to the screen of language making English as your primary language, as described in these screenshots

    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5853-display-language-change-Windows-8-a.html

    Reboot again, and voila!

    PS: after upgrading your Windows 8 Pro is activated automatically with the new product ID, but you haven't lost all common applications of OEM and warranty (Dell in my case).

    You always connect to the app store Windows of China and are able to install apps * except * those made specifically by the OEM. In my case, there are only a few and I can't install Renren for Dell for example, but there is also another version not OEM in the app store.

    This limitation is explicitly mentioned in the notes here, and I confirm.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/feature-packs

    OEM applications that I have installed upgrading are still there and working, then you might want to install everything before the upgrade.

    You should upgrade to 10 Windows through Windows instead of DVD/USB.
    If you have installed own DVD/USB, you will get a Win10 key.

    Once you do the upgrade, you can reset Windows, that is identical to a clean installation of DVD/USB.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Thanks for your valuable help!
    Pedro Moura

    It's very strange... I think it must be some kind of Windows bug... I recommend you check if all Windows updates and patches are installed.

    In addition, the unit is listed as a supported upgrade Win 10 model, so win 10 update should be possible.

    The unit is here: http://win10upgrade.toshiba.com/swup...spx?region=TEG

    Win 10 driver can be downloaded and updated from this page:
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

    but in case the upgrade of Windows 10 using the automatic upgrade procedure does not work, try to improve Windows 10 using the media creation tool
