Relative to the Win 7 to Win 8 update with an upgrade key

I have upgraded to Windows 8 windows 7 using the upgrade wizard. I corrected my key and had to go back to windows 7. When I use the wizard tool upgrafe is said that my upgrade key is not able to be used to install Windows 8. How can I reinstall windows 8 with only my upgrade key?

This means that the key is not valid then.  Check your received e-mail or login to your account where you purchased Windows 8.  They will always have your records and you can download it again.

  • Qosmio X 770 loss of function after the Win 10 update key

    Hello. I recently upgraded from Win 7 to win 10 via download, and my function key does nothing. The Eco utility also is all out of wack and does not seem to meet. Don't know how else to describe it, other than that. Appreciate any help.

    Chris

    Best option is to clean, install, chuck all the Toshiba bloat including all the so-called eco and Windows power management stuff to. Trust me it works much better. I was obliged, in a clean installation, after that the SSDS failed recently. Surprisingly, Windows took care of all the drivers on my 870 X and the laptop works perfectly, my only concern is the CPU time that seem too high, maxing out at 90 degrees for the games, but about to take it apart and redo the radiator paste on the CPU/GPU cooler. Time GPU is OK, around 75 degrees max.

    However, the downside for me was some F keys no longer work. WiFi but is now just WiFi/Bluetooth power, speaker volume, microphone, display, and the display brightness all work but the power touchpad is not. Multimedia keys don't seem to work either (play/pause, track skip) only the screen brightness, volume, and multi display keys have a graphic, none of the others don't.

    Toshiba does not support Windows 10 for anything earlier X - 70 has. shameful when you pay a lot for these Qosmios. Don't buy Toshiba again when the X 870 dies, not only I don't think it's a shame to not offer better support on products like the Qosmio series, the X-70 b is now little more than a toy with his R9 M365X AMD, not more powerful than a Geforce 940 M GPU to!

  • on the win 10 update

    After downloading the 10 victory at the time of high-grading it ask 20 GB of space on the C drive but I have only 10 GB of space in drive C. not what do I do? Help, please

    You can run Disk Cleanup to free up additional space on your hard drive - see Windows Help.

    On page 2 of not enough space to upgrade windows 10 rtm, user Banger696 has reported that the installation process gave him the ability to use space on a USB drive for its workspace.

    You can also copy all your files on an external drive user and then delete them from your computer if you were really tight for space.  Personally, I would only do this if I had made identical copies on two external hard drives, but maybe I'm too cautious.

  • No option "upgrade to win 10'. It is probably related to the fact that I can't upgrade my IE 10 to 11?

    I am running Win 7 Professional with SP1. There is no option "upgrade to 10' in my system tray. The resolution of the problems that I downloaded from microsoft.com to help with this, said that my windows "is not the correct version" for the upgrade, but I'm sure it is. Then I've dug further into the support pages and I've read that I should update IE to 11 before attempting to get the upgrade to win 10.

    Now I tried to switch to IE11 for awhile, but I gave up a long time ago because it proved to be very difficult and my need was not large enough. But it is now.

    Months ago I tried to go through all the support pages for the upgrade to IE11 but they did not help, I kept getting "update has no" again and again and again and again.

    My question is - is this REALLY necessary for me to upgrade to IE11 to obtain 10 Windows? I wouldn't have spent hours trying to fix IE11 and actually discover it is an unrelated question. I do not understand why I need to improve IE to get 10 win!

    Thank you guys.

    You can get around get Windows 10 for 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool.

    Check the box in the first option to automate the process or select 'to another PC"to create bootable flash media or download an ISO to burn it to a DVD with the drive of Windows Image.  Now you have media to reinstall or need repairs.  But to run the upgrade, it must be opened in Windows 7/8.1, click right installation to run as admin file.

    To improve chances disable the upgrade everything at startup:

    In Windows 7, type msconfig in the start search box, clear all the options on the tabs Services and start-up, after masking all the Services of Mrs.  Apply and restart.

    8.1 Windows, right click on the task bar to open the Task Manager, uncheck everything in the tab startup, Apply, Reboot.

  • The Win Explorer crashes/Context Menu Popups

    About 4-5 weeks, I started to have Windows Explorer freezes once or twice a day, especially when I start programs from the Start Menu. (I also use RocketDock and explore window will never block when programs start with her). I get a dialog box indicating that I have Windows restart Windows Explorer and the problem goes away. I've been tolerating this inconvenience.

    About 2 weeks, popups started appearing randomly in any program was in the active window (for example, Firefox, Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) without me touching my mouse. I tried to solve this problem, because it steals the focus while I type and is the most troublesome of the two. To this day, I tried withoutsuccess the following:

    -changed my mouse
    -used the system restore as soon as he'd go (about 15 days)
    - virus scan with SpyBot, Adaware, Malwarebytes (all clean, with the exception of a few cookies part 3)
    -Chkdsk scan
    -Disabled all non-Microsoft context menu using NirSoft ShellExView shell extensions
    -One at a time, disabled Microsoft context menu shell individual extensions with ShellExView

    The problem of popup context menu persisted all troubleshooting.

    Apart from these two issues, which may or may not be related, my computer (a HP Pavillion) short great. All additional troubleshooting suggestions?

    Thank you very much for your time and sharing your expertise.

    If you want the whole Gore story?  Although it seems that the problem of context menu is not related to Windows Explorer crashes, the tests I did apparently cleared up that, too.  He has not re-emerged in about 5 days.

    While disabling the services (Microsoft and others), I came across many problems of implementation of some programmes and operation did not work properly, as one would expect.  When I excluded services as a cause and reactivate all, I started having problems with the Windows installation files.  First of all, WordPerfect would not go and had to be reinstalled, but only after using the Windows Install Clean Up Utility (WICUU) to clear the Setup done reference file.  Then, I had a Windows Update failed (for the first time) and could not install an update of Silverlight.  This problem leads to WICUU as reference to installation of Silverlight was also damaged.  (I'm sure that other installation problems will arise, but I'll take those as they come).

    I don't know if, during my diagnosis, I somehow damage the installation files (do not see how that could happen) or if there is an independent issue which will be me still beset.  HOWEVER, for the moment, all is well... no crashes, no popups.

    I have no idea why the Win Explorer crashes stopped.  But when it comes to Windows, I never look a gift horse in the eye.  If it is not broke, I ain't trying to fix.  For the time being.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 on hard drive again with only the Win 7 Upgrade disc?

    So I have an e9180t which, like clockwork, freezes after about an hour or two after the boot.  I thought it might be the curse of bad mothers, with what they came, but I hope that it is something else so test everything I can.  I noticed that it does not freeze upwards when it is started in safe mode with network.  The hard drive failed the test SMART so I wonder if it's time to replace it as if that has anything to do with the crash.   I can move the cursor, but no applications will be open and eventually everything becomes insensitive causing be tohit the power button to restart.   I already stopped unnecessary startup programs and it will still freeze in unsafe mode.

    The PC came with Vista and I think it's what's on backup hard disk partition.  I have the disk Win 7 Upgrade from HP.  My questons are-

    1. If I buy a new HD 7 upgrade disc will be enough to install the full version of Win 7?

    2. anything else I should do when I install the new HD and more to reactivate Windows?

    Thank you.

    Hi Mike,.

    Have you created a HP recovery disk to reinstall the factory image when replacing the HARD drive?

    It sounds like you have maybe a problem creating the recovery discs now.

    A Smart HARD drive test failure points to a HDD failure. The symptoms you are experiencing are likely caused by this fact. You can also have a card mother or any other hardware problem.

    You have the key to drive and Win 7 Upgrade product.

    I'm pretty sure that the upgrade to Windows 7 to be launched from Win Vista. The upgrade of Windows 7 is a full installation of Windows, so this isn't the problem. But he can't run the installation unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally, an upgrade to Windows 7 is launched within the current operating system, Win 7 valid existence of an eligible OS Setup and then request a restart to complete the installation of upgrade.

    You can replace the HARD drive and try to install Win 7 itself. If this fails and you do not have the Vista recovery discs, you can buy an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different versions. Select one that corresponds to the operating system that is installed at the factory.

    You may have another problem to replace the HDD with a Format HDD advanced most recent. Please see thisHP Supportdocument for more information.

    If you cannot install the upgrade Windows 7 itself or Win Vista because of the issue of the Advanced Format HARD drive, you may need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 OEM.
