Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

(1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
(2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
(3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
(4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
Thank you very much!

(1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
 
Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.
(2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
 
Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.
(3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
 
Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.
 
 

These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

· Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

· Click settings

· Click change PC settings

· Click general in the left column

· Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

(4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
 
As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.
Thank you very much!

    (1) if I want to format my laptop, I need a CD to install for Vista Home basic... then I don't have this Toshiba CD when I bought the laptop. So how do? question: How can I format it?

    (2) can I change my Vista Home Basic to windows XP? I think it's much faster than this one. is it advisable?

    (3) I have a GB of RAM in the laptop. Increase the RAM? I think that my laptop has become to slow down. is it advisable?

    (4) and on my screen, everytime I try to change my profile screen to windows Classic view, my screen begins to blink. and after a while, the screen turns off. So I can't change that. I put the color scheme of windows vista only. What to do about that?

    Please help me friends. Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Here, a few questions about the number:

    (1) usually, you should get the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD. If you didn t receive this DVD then you can order it here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you could install the disc of Microsoft Vista.

    (2) of course, you can do this. I think that Win XP drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    (3) Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. For more information, see your manual or search on this forum for similar topics

    (4) maybe it s associated with the graphics driver. Check if you can update. I would recommend additional check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS

  • A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

    I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

    1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

    2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

    I hope that makes sense, thanks!

    To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

  • A few Questions about the creative cloud

    I read that the Creator Cloud connection will be released in the coming weeks, which is great. I have a few questions about the download file and the creative connection program of cloud.

    I have a file which I will download. The contents of this file will be updated periodically locally. I want to do the files in this folder to stay updated between my desktop and laptop. The Creative Cloud connection program will be able to do?

    If a file is changed, which is already in the cloud program will recognize the change and stay the cloud?

    I guess just a little more information on exactly what will be the program Creative Connection cloud would be nice.

    On the topic of storage I will be able to upgrade the standard 20 GB of storage that is available when / if needed? And how much will that be?

    Another question:

    When Lightroom 4 will be available via CC and why is it not available when it was released?

    Creative Cloud connection will keep files between your desktop and the Web site synchronized. You will be able to add, edit and delete files from each end and that the changes are reflected in both.

    To see the connection creative cloud in action, you can watch this video of evangelist Paul Trani Adobe http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-creative-suite-6-creative-cloud-launch-week/adobe-creative - cloud - tour-/.

    There will be a way to get more than 20 GB of storage. Adobe Creative Cloud http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html FAQ has a question and an answer about it down:

    Buy extra creative Cloud storage?

    Additional storage will be available for purchase later in 2012. If you have reached your storage limit, contact Adobe Customer Service.

    Lightroom 4 will be available in a few weeks. Jeff Veen also tweeted this https://twitter.com/#! / veen/status/200810541550288896. Other Articles of Jeff on what comes to the Adobe Creative cloud here in his blog of Adobe http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/coming-soon-to-creative-cloud/.

  • a few questions about the migration of content/web content

    Hi all


    I have a few questions about the migration of the website and content (from development to test) which are not specified after reading the oracle documentation.

    -> When we make the site replication will be migrated content (data files).

    -> when we move will contained all the ED and RD etc (any object type web site migrated).

    --> are the two the necessary step for migration when we migrate web site.


    Thank you

    -Yves

    --> When we make the site replication of the content will be migrated (data files).

    It depends on how you do it. The tool 'Site Studio Replicator' won't move any content, only the structure of the site. The 'Manage replication Site' page can be used to migrate content with the structure of the site but I do not recommend for large sites, I use separate tasks to archive to move the content. "Backup and restore" page stores the entire site in a ZIP file, not advisable for large sites.

    --> When migrate us content will be all ED and RD etc (any object type web site migrated).

    Yes. It uses the metadata xWebsites field to identify the elements that belong to the site.

    --> are the two the necessary step for migration when we migrate web site.

    Depends on how you do it, but yes, all bits are needed.

  • A few Questions about the advanced Actions window

    Hello

    I have a few questions about the progress of the Actions (using the version of track CP7)

    1. What is the function of the action to "continue?"   Out of the peak action and advance the playback cursor?

    2. What does mean this comment "Nested calls to action advanced is a nice improvement."? Is the advanced decision at the top of a page of action tabs?

    3. What is the function of the option "custom" in the IF statement - "preform action if - custom", it doesn't seem to do anything for me?

    4. where can I get information about the timeline / playhead interaction with advanced actions, i.e. where the playhead is going again at the beginning of the slide. slide custom question - display button, e.g. verification of responses, comments - when all the objects are at the beginning of the timeline. I'm looking more for the read head of infromation functionality rather than how to implement this type of question.

    Thank you

    Donal.

    Continue: If an advanced standard action is triggered by a button, this will not trigger the playback head. If you want out, you can use continues. Continue can also be a choice in a conditional action, when one orders branching has nothing to special, but in advance. Continuous is also the "dummy" statement/command (this is the official name of a line in the dialog box advanced actions) If a statement has become unusable due to some reasons, it will be replaced by continue

    There is no nested call stocks advanced possible right now, one of my many feature requests. It would be sort of a subroutine that you can use over and over again, instead of having to create each time when necessary.

    A decision is one of the conditions to be an advanced conditional action. They allow to create more complex actions, as a loop or arrays are not possible. All decisions are executed in sequence and always.

    Custom: is a combination of or but it is rather limited, because you cannot use parentheses.

    I guess you'd better visit my blog if you want to learn more about the advanced actions.

    I also did several Webinars on stocks advanced, last this afternoon (on the sharing of the actions) for Adobe. They are all available on request.

  • A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

    Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
    I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

    * Some info first.*

    CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
    Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

    * Questions.*

    1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

    3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
    If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

    > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
    The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

    > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
    But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

    Have you read this statement ? It explains how to set the registry value:

    If the REG_SZ useDefaultTimer does not already exist, you must create it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\CVI Run-Time Engine\cvirte. "" This can be done navigate to the appropriate folder, and then click Edit "New" string value. Then, click on means the name of the new value created, select Rename, and then specify useDefaultTimer as the name. Finally, double click on the name and specify the value True or False.

  • A few questions about the colors of Patone

    I have a few questions about patone color since it is the first time that I use. I want to use them to create a paper letterhead and business cards in two colors.

    1)

    I don't understand that no sex is more than coated patone washed out colors. I heard that it's because the way paper absorbs the inkt. That is why the same results inkt in different colors on different papers (right?). My question is why is the patone black no sex so different than black normal (c = 0 m = 0 y = 0, k = 100) or black intense:

    blacks.png

    When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black color. How is it that I can't have this dark with patone color black color? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the color of Patone. He looks way too grey for me.

    (2) a first model, I want to print of patone in CMYK color (since I have like 10 different colors on a page of quick comparison). I know these CMYK colors distinguish the colors of patone and I can't get a representation of 100%. But is there a way to convert patone CMYK values?

    I hope some of you can help me with my questions.

    Thank you.

    You can get shades CMYK Pantone in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > color books > + PANTONE Color Bridge Coated or lying) but in my opinion, what's the point?  If you print to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use CMYK called "equivalents." from Pantone

    Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, which are fluorescent beyond the limits of the range of RGB and CMYK in particular. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. He described formulations of ink pigmented for each of its colors.

    Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The range of CMYK is MUCH SMALLER than many mixed inks, printed on papers either paved or unpaved can deliver. When you specify no sex Pantone ink in artificial intelligence, according to Pantone conversion tables, HAVE "about" what will look like this color on a sheet no bed, try using CMYK. -In my opinion, this has little relevance to the real world conditions and should be avoided in most situations.

    If your project must be printed on a press printing with Pantone inks spots, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the colors of the screen; rather get a Pantone swatch book and watch real inks on paper lying and uncoated, depending on the stock you will use on the press.

    With printing decreases rapidly for inkjet and web printers, Pantone has attempted to expand its relevance beyond the traction-date of publication (in the books and software alliances, with one such as Adobe) his old PMS inks and their supposed equivalent LAB and CMYK. I say "supposed" because even once, monitors RGB and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you go to your project on a printing press printing, Pantone inks are still very relevant as of the "tones".

    I also put my preferences I > appearance of black both display all blacks accurately and output all blacks accurately. The only exception to this may be when you print on a digital printer, where there should be no problem checking.

    Rich black in artificial intelligence is a phenomenon of the screen, at least in the Prefs > appearance of Black, you specify also "out all inks like Rich Black"-something I'd do it EVER do so out for a real printing press. Still, I put my black people in artificial intelligence at the "output All Blacks Acurately" during a press release. If you fail to do so, then the press you will see any minor issue registration, with C, M and look at the back, especially around black characters.  UGH!

    Good luck!  :+)

  • A few questions about the making of the animated for a site Web Nav buttons

    Hello, I have a few questions about creating some animated for a NAV buttons.

    There are 2 actions I want to trigger on pouting above.

    If I want to use a static (PNG) image I created in Photoshop for the real button, can I use that? I want well drag the button down on the passage of the mouse and drag upward on the mouse. If I push the part of the "Web" button (sorry, that it comes from a Photoshop guy) it will disappear in the final animation? Another way to say this, if I put something lively off the coast of the white area, it no longer appears in the movie (.swf) when it is published?

    For the second part. You can see a bit of what I want to do if you look high Nav of the page of the website: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/index.html

    I need the 'light' above the button and it's going to be on another < div > color so I can't put a solid color of BG for my flash document. But I want to get the effect of the 'bar' lighting up above the button and the real key slide downwards to pouting on.

    You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.

    We target the dynamicaly graph. Since the MouseEvent is now on the invisible sprite and not the graph itself, the one-for-all function has no reference to this graph. You can access the invisible sprite with event.target (or event.currentTarget), you can also target the chart because we declared "mygraphic" custom property to serve as a reference for the graphic. Thus, event.target.mygraphic is the benchmark for graphics.

    Of course, this is just an example. There are other variations of this trick.

  • A few questions about the difference between the Satellite P70, L70, S70

    Hello, I have a lot of questions about the P70, L70, S70 series that come with a 1920 x 1080 panel.

    (1) what are the differences between the L70 and S70 series? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    (2) P70, L70, S70 doesn't support a 2nd HARD drive or it's just the P70 series that support?

    (3) all the three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?

    (4) of the above series, which supports mSata?

    (5) all the model of each series are delivered with support from mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?

    (6) all the foregoing, are delivered with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?

    (7) who is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.

    Thank you in advance.

    > (1) what are the differences between the series L70 and S70? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    What models Sat L70 and S70 do you mean exactly? There are different L70-xxx-xxx and S70 models on the market that supports different hardware specifications.

    (> S70 2) P70, L70, support a 2nd drive HARD or is - it just the series P70 that support?
    As you can see in this [Sam P70 HDD replacement document, | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3903II0000R01.htm] the P70 series supports the 2nd drive Bay HARD, BUT even if there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay, this does not mean that you can use the 2nd HARD drive. In the case where the 2nd HARD drive Bay are equipped with HARD drive connector, you can use the 2nd HARD drive

    I also found the [Sam L70/S70 HDD replacement | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3703HG0000R01.htm] the document on the Toshiba page and there I see this 2nd HARD drive Bay is not available

    (> 3) all three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?
    See point 1). Different P70, L70, S70 models were equipped with different material parts.

    (> 4) of the series above, which takes in charge mSata?
    As far as I know that some P70 models are equipped with an mSATA SSD of 256 GB.

    (> 5) do all the model of each series are delivered with support mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?
    See point 4) not all models supports the same hardware specifications

    (> 6) all of the above, come with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?
    I don t think that SATA III is supported. I guess it would be SATA II

    (> 7) which is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.
    Not easy to answer because there are too many models released in Europea.
    And not all models are available in each country. So I guess you will have to look for the models that have been released in your country.

    recovery process is completely safe.

    > Second, he will restore C: and D:, or just C:?

    He will restore the os with the settings on drive C;. Local d it will create image file from hard drive which I know.

    > Can I run 32-bit incompatible somehow on my 64-bit?

    It depends on the application. I mean, do a right-click on the application and choose properties where you can Compatible mode.

    Hey,.

    I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

    I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

    Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

    (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

    Or

    (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

    I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

    But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

    So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

    It's my laptop;
    [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

    This laptop will do the job don't you think?
    Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

    I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

    Hello

    First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
    It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

    What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
    I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

    So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

    I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.
