Reinstall an OS after hardware upgrades laptop

I just bought a laptop HP 2000 series. Found that there not nearly at the speed I would like to and want to make improvements. Looking at bumping RAM 2 to 4 or 8 GB. In the research to upgrade CPU who perhaps understand a new motherboard as well. Don't think I'll be upgrading the HD right now, but always curious to know that if I do, how can I keep my current Windows 8? It came with the pc, so I have no backup discs and did I not a code. Will also change into effect of RAM and CPU something important that I should prepare in advance? Thank you.

The RAM can be made easily. As you have on several versions of the HP 2000 processor is soldered to the motherboard. You'll find that the cost of a new mother/CPU card is more than you want to spend and less profitable to sell your laptop and buy something you like better.

The key Code is integrated into the BIOS for Windows 8 systems. If you keep the same hard drive, it will work even with a new motherboard. The key Code incorporated in the new Board of Directors will be just activate as soon as you connect to the Internet.

Upgrade memory will "work". You will not have to change anything.

If you need a copy of the service manual or any other information post back.

(No error message). It seems not important whether the project is new or old (existing) or what is the quality of the video source. I tried to work in several other pieces of software on the computer and they all seem to work perfectly.

    I have the latest version of the BIOS for the motherboard, the most up-to-date driver for the video card and I disabled/uninstalled the entire suite Adobe, ran Creative costume Cleaner, then reinstalled and udated. Still crashes.

    Any ideas?

    It looks like a hardware problem.

    Go to your retail store, they should have the disk recovery for you or you need to go to your manufacturer directly because the manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that the manufacturer has installed on the hardware, provide your serial number and order the CD on their part. I bet they arrange an expedition to the France and tax treatment for it, but should not be too much.

    Note: The manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If it is not a set of disks with the computer, there will be a hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore), you would use to return the computer to the State of the OOBE (Out of Box Experience).

  • My laptop camera image on the upside after the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

    I have a laptop Asus G50Vt - X 1, which is a 64-bit computer. It had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit installed on it and the unit worked properly with him. I ran the update of Windows 7 Advisory on this matter and he said I could upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. After the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit the images from the camera are all upside. I contacted Asus about the problem and they sent me the drivers updated, but the images are still upside down. Pourrait Windows 7 cause this problem as I know that it worked fine under Vista?

    I also noticed that my dvd/cd player and external hard drives don't stop the execution after that I have quit an application. When this happens, I can't eject the cd or remove the drive from the computer.

  • After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 games installed in my laptop (Chainz, Cubis and Bejeweled, etc.) have bars on each side when displayed in full screen.

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire with a screen 16:9 wide (15.6 "), it has the latest graphic drivers ATI and all operating system updates.  After the upgrade to W7 (free upgrade with the purchase of the laptop) everything works wonderfully except all the games installed now not displayed in full screen, I get black bars on both sides, they used for Vista, but not with W7.

    I already tried different settings in the games options, administrator, resolutions screen different, being run in maximized 'Vista' and 'Run' mode of the file properties dialog box shortcut and .exe.  This happened without any security program installed that is not a factor.

    I am at a loss.

    This is to maintain the ratio l / h. It is how the images stretch. ATI no longer has the opportunity to play with the proportions for the sort of stuck like that unless you can find in your version of ATI Catalyst. It is in fact full screen as opposed to windowed mode, but it does not cover the entire screen.

    You can try different resolutions within the application to see if it will actually make your apps full screen to use the entire screen. That's all, remains to be done. I don't know why ATI has decided to exclude this option because some people hate the black bars or hate the stretched images.

    Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.

    PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
    During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly.  In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
    Can someone help me please?
    Best regards

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  • Cannot connect to internet after a reboot before you uninstall and then reinstall the network card. (After the upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista)

    This problem started immediately after the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) to Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit).  Again, I want to remind that I never had this problem before installing Windows 7.

    -After a reboot, I am presented with the impossible to connect the network indicator (yellow triangle with!) in the task bar.  (It was how I was welcomed after the installation of Windows 7 is said by the way).

    -The only way I found to regain connectivity is to uninstall and reinstall the network via the device manager card, date at which the computer always successfully connects and remains connected until the next reboot.

    Network card: Realtek RTL8168C (P) / 811C (P) Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

    Driver provider: Microsoft
    Driver date: 14/05/2009
    Driver version: 7.2.1127.2008
    Digital signer: Microsoft Windows

    Thus, we have solved the problem! There are two possibilities of your problems:
    1 company Adobe uses the Bonjour service , this service should be disabled.
    Computer > Manage > Services and Applications > Services => find the bonjour service (sometimes stated as long numbers), stop service and if the Disabled value. It works!

    2. If it is not signed as Bonjour service. Try to disable the service:
    Shutdown mDNSResponder .exe (he is represented by # Id_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762 #).

    It is installed with Adobe software. If you upgrade the Vista, it will generally many users problem!
