Satelite C870 - 17L: Windows 8 preinstalled: Downgrade to windows 7?

I have a Toshiba C870 - 17L. There were 8 Windows preinstalled. A very important program doesn't work under windows 8, so I need to install a Windows 7 on this computer.
Can I do this? Can I erase the HARD drive and cleaninstall windows 7? No problem with my computer?
Download the recovery disc original for my computer?

Kind regards

Hello

Prior to do any create recovery media. This recovery media can be used if you want to install the original recovery image Win8. How this is described in the document s user manuals.
>... I need to install a Windows 7 on this computer. Can I do this?
In General, Yes, you can do it.
> Can I erase the HARD drive and cleaninstall windows 7?
Yes.
> No problems with my computer?
Only problem can be finding all the drivers, tools and utilities. It may be that there will be something missing so you will not be able to have features of 100%, but this may be related to some specific tools of Toshiba.
> Download the recovery disc original for my computer?
No, you can not do this. Recovery image can not be downloaded.

For Win7 you must use the Microsoft installation disc. Please note that you cannot use product key from your laptop computer to activate Windows.

If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    Hello

    This BSOD code usually means that you are using the wrong driver SATA.
    Have you downloaded the driver from the Toshiba page?

    The Satellite L300D-22R belongs to the PSLCGE series so have you chosen this model number on the Toshiba page? Maybe you should check it again!

    In the worst cases, you install XP compatible mode. That's why you n t need a SATA driver, but some users reported that the AHCI mode is slightly faster

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro C870-10F Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with Tempro me a well-informed driver I could install (a Blue Ray player driver). TEMPRO should be reliable... but first of all my Panda antivirus disabled the script installation, and when I disabled the antivirus protection, I ran again the installation of this driver and that he got an error on a file missing. I was not able to proceed with the installation at all.
    someone at - it had the same problem?

    The cause would be that I installed VLC Media Player?
    Thanks for your help.

    Last days, few people have reported on this notification Tempro. According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop doesn t have Blue Ray optical disc player, so I think that this update of the driver is not important to you.

    I only use this card successfully sd reader only 1 time. After a restart of my computer, the drive may not be recognized by the operating system. I tried to re - install the driver on Toshiba support site wihtout success.

    This sd card reader came out?
    How can I solve my pb?

    I can still return this laptop for an Exchange with another, but it is very long.

    Thank you

    Concerning

    You did not provide the full name of your Satellite C870-xxx model, but I know that for example Satellite C870 - 10 p supports the 2-in-1 (SD and MMC) bridge location and this crack manages cards:

    SD-> 8MB - 2 GB
    SDHC-> 4GB - 32 GB
    -> 64GB SDXC
    Mini SD-> 8MB - 2 GB
    Micro SD-> 8MB - 2 GB
    and MMC

  • Wanted to use parallel to Vista on Equium A210-17I XP

    I have a satellite A210 - 17l with Vista preinstalled on a HDD ATA with AMD Turion. Never thought to install XP over Vista on a laptop would be a complicated task.

    I've considered to run MS XP pro on a virtual machine or the implementation of a multiboot system. I did the last of them once or twice on a computer desktop, but not with Vista. Now, the thing is that there seems to be no option of virtualization for my setup. Virtual PC does not work on Vista Home premium, isn't VMware on an ATA and Xen is still not compatible with Vista at all.

    The option to install XP on another main partition seems to be as difficult as well. Tried with a slim streamed SP2 and base pro and none were able to boot from the CD. System configured to boot from DVD, but after checking the drive, it launches Vista again. Strangely, I put an old Win 98SE in the CD rom and it booted up withh options to install.

    Well, I can't work on what is happening with this, but if someone with the same successful machine to install XP or use a virtual machine, please answer.

    Perhaps someone else knows how to work around this problem?

    I have installed two operating systems on several models of different laptops without any problem. You can install Windows XP Sp2 home edition on the second partition with no problems. Download all the utilities and tools of Windows XP Home edition drivers and configure preinstalled WXP.

  • Keyboard does not work under Vista on Satellite L300D

    Dear readers,

    I have a Satelite L300D with Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium. It is about 5 months and so far I have not had problems.

    Today, I started the book and noticed that I was not able to type my password for Windows.
    I thought, there must be a problem with the keyboard and restarted the laptop.
    I tried to enter the Bios and I wonderd, keyboard worked as expected it. Back to Vista, the keyboard does not work yet.

    I rebooted again and activated Capslock befor the Windowsstartup and looked at the LED.
    Just after the appearance of the Windowslogo, Capslock off a keyboard was dead.
    So I thougt it must be a driver error. I deleted the two driver files Hardware-Director told me where the drivers keyboard, rebooted twice a keyboard had returned to work, but only until the next reboot.

    So I decided to make the recovery of HARD drive and reinstall Windows, thinking, this should fix the problem.

    But it's still there.

    Is there someone who could help me? If this is an error of the driver, is should have disappeared when the laptop is in a State of delivery, right?

    I would be very happy for any advice or help

    PS: I want to say sorry for my bad English... :-)

    Hey mate

    > It's about 5 months and until now I didn't have problems.

    I wonder why this keyboard problem happened after 5 months of use?  :|
    This means that this keyboard worked fine using the Vista and the Toshiba Recovery disk operating system but recently stopped working if the Microsoft OS is running.

    In my eyes it s a hardware issue ok, it s really strange that you can use it in the BIOS and the Linux system. But I recommend to contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country and ask if the technician could test with the new keyboard.

    I think that your warranty is valid and therefore everything must be covered by the warranty!

    Good luck

    Here's the question:

    I have a few years old Toshiba Satelite laptop with Windows XP SP3. I recently took my office where he has been on the internet via an ethernet cable in the living room where I tried to connect to my wireless internet. It would connect, but says he has "limited connectivity or not." Perfectly fine, I can connect to my neighbor's wireless internet, my wife has the same computer exactly like me and connect to our wireless internet and the neighbour, and there is absolutely no problem with the intensity of the signal.
