Re: Satellite U500 - can I install Windows XP?

Have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 laptop. It came with Windows 7. It is very unstable. Programs that don't crash XP, crash regularly in Windows 7. Including Windows Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer (especially painful if you have run a great search).
I hate the way that it is unstable on where he puts the files. I hate the way it hides files and blocks access to others. My list of complaints about Windows 7 is too long to list here.

Is there a version of XP that I can install on this laptop?

Hello

Generally speaking, it of depending on your model of laptop you exactly what Satellite U500?

Before you install another operating system make sure that you can get all the drivers for the new operating system in order to check the Toshiba page first.
For U500 XP drivers are available according to the official website of Toshiba, so it seems that he supported s. Just download all the drivers and tools and install them after the installation of Windows XP, but install the SP3 for XP before you begin with the installation of the driver.

By the way: Please create Toshiba Recovery disk before you install another OS. In case you want Windows 7 back you can use this disk to restore the original settings.

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can install Windows XP, why not? ;)

    But I put t understand why you want to use such an old operating system. I mean the Satellite U500 is really fast enough for Vista and Windows 7 is present in a few days. You should be happy with your pre-installed Vista version that should work well.

    The point is that Toshiba doesn't offer drivers U500 and XP so you must collect all the drivers yourself on the Internet that takes a lot of time. In addition, I think that some special functions, like the FN keys will not work because it you can get a driver from Toshiba.

    It s your choice what you do but I'd wait for Windows 7 If you don't like Vista Satellite U500 n should also support Windows 7.

  • Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p

    Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p?

    .. .thx for any info and/or messages...

    Hello

    Just to clarify something:

    -If you want to install Windows XP Home edition, but do not change the BIOS settings (leave it in AHCI mode) at the beginning of the procedure of facilities you must load a SATA driver by pressing F6. That's only way to install Windows XP Home edition with success
    -You can install WXP without driver SATA, but you must change the compatibility settings. Everything works fine, but if you change the settings on back ACHI you get BSOD every time when you try to start Windows XP Home edition

    If you want to install the SATA driver please install WXP if you use SATA starts the driver before installing Windows XP Home edition.

    Of course you can do it.
    You can install Win 7 If you want to.
    First, go to the BIOS (press F2 during boot)
    In the BIOS disable secure boot with UEFI MSC mode.
    Save the changes and now you could boot from Win 7 disc and could launch the installation.

    But just a note: you read the operating instructions and to create the recovery disk before installing what anyone on the laptop. The recovery disc helps you return to Win 8 in case you want to use again!

    Hello

    Maybe you have an old version of your Windows XP operating system in the Microsoft Windows CD.
    I guess you are not able to install the OS, because some updates and SP are missing on the CD.
    You should try to include service packs of MS, and then install the operating system.

    PS: I put t understand why you n t use the recovery CD. The installation is very simple and al Tosh drivers are pre-installed. OK, it s a Home version but there aren't huge differences of Pro

  • Re: Satellite U300: can I install Vista Ultimate?

    Hello.

    A few days back, I bought Satellite U300 series but it came with VISTA Home Premium that I don't want.

    Can I install WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE on my computer, if yes from where I can download the drivers.
    Is there a specific order I have to follow to install the drivers after installing VISTA ULTIMATE.

    Seniors need help here, please...

    Thank you and best regards
    Khurram Shahzad

    Of course, you can install Vista Ultimate on this laptop.
    All Vista drivers can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.

    Ask for the specific installation order?
    Well, I'd start with the common drivers like Chip Set Utility, display driver, etc.
    In addition, I would recommend checking the option details, because there you might find driver and software details.

    By the way; the Intel Robson (SATA driver) package must be included in Vista because this driver is required for the recognition of the HARD drive.

  • I can't install windows on MacBook 15 inch 512 GB 2015

    Hello

    I just brought my new laptop I want to install windows on this 10 by bootcamp. I saw a lot of videos on youtube about installing windows on a mac.

    And I have the iso of windows and proceed to installing windows subsequently after that download the file of taking in charge of windows there was an error popup "WINDOWS FILE cannot NOT BE COPYED". Later when I retried but I need to download a media file, so I download the separate media file instead. But how do I add this file to boot camp instead download it again.

    Please help me with it on this error and the Windows Media file. IM using Bootcamp 6.0.1 so I think it's not see option select task during installation windows 10.

    Can I install Windows on mac without having to install the media file. While I can install it later when windows is installed on BOOTCAMP 6.0 NOT the PREVIOUS VERSION.

  • Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?

    Greetings!

    The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.

    I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?

    What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?

    I do not understand your question about "interface."

    The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.

    See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab

    Your computer was preinstalled with:

    Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)

    and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.

    My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.

    Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows.  That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».
