Satellite A210 - 1 4 - how to upgrade to Windows 7?

I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7. If I do, I definitely want to do a clean install, rather than an upgrade. However, I have some questions about the process:

* Drivers: The installation process will automatically install all my drivers for me? If this is not the case, how the drivers Setup install process?

* What is the utility of Toshiba hardware configuration?

* What is my Windows 7 disc also act as a restore CD or I'll have to do it myself? If so, how?

* Should I upgrade complete edition edition?

Thank you!

Hey,.

> * Drivers: the installation process will automatically install all my drivers for me? If this is not the case, how the drivers Setup install process?
No, drivers will install automatically. You will have to do it yourself, and you can download all the drivers on the European driver of Toshiba download page:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers
Before you install Windows 7 you must check if all drivers available for Windows 7

> * What is the use of hardware from Toshiba?
Read the description on the Toshiba driver download page. ;)
It s a nice tool where you can change the BIOS settings.

> * My Windows 7 disc will also as a restore CD or I'll have to do it myself? If so, how?
Microsoft Windows 7 disk also works a restore disc. If Windows is not able to start over, you can boot from the disc. Windows can repair itself.

> * should I upgrade complete edition edition?
If you want a new installation, you need to purchase the full edition of Windows 7.

  • Satellite A210 - 1 4 frequently freezes when starting Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and updated upgraded to Windows 7 later. I have a problem in which case frequently the OS crashes during startup. This often happens and happens after the text "Starting Windows" appears, but before the windows logo appears. In this case I have to press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to reset the system and bring back to life, Windows 7 starts normally after that.

    I tried to reinstall Windows 7 and it still does not work. I use the 32 bit version if that makes a difference. I installed all the drivers of Toshiba using the [Toshiba Software Installer | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=2475695&pf=true] and the problem still persists.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    Recommends checking the HARD drive first.

    There is a nice tool called Drive Fitness Test which can be downloaded from some 3rd party pages.
    The tool is free and helps you run HARD drive Diagnostics tests.
    If the HARD drive is ok, then the next step should be checking the RAM.

    Tools such as memtest86 + could be used to test the memory.

    But even if there is no error, the RAM could be affected again I recommend that you test the new notebook with Rams

    By the way: check if the BIOS is up to date!

  • Someone knows how to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit to dm3?

    Hi all

    Recently, I bought my computer laptop pavilion dm3-1028tx (sp9300, 4 GB ddr3). Unfortunely only it comes with oem windows 7 Home premium 32-bit instead of windows 7 64-bit.

    Due to the characteristic of 32 bits, its only 3 GB of ram could be used.

    IM plan to upgrade my windows 7 Home premium 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7 home premiun.

    I tried to contact microsoft in my country, they said I should ask to HP, if I could spend my windows because its OEM.

    Someone knows how to upgrade my windows 7 32 bit to windows 7 64 bit without having to buy a new one? Please help me I do not know.

    Thanks a lot guys

    Unfortunately, you will need to buy the 64-bit version, unless you can get HP to you give 64-bit free citing inability to use all of the memory as a customer support/advocacy.   But you should check on HP website to see if your model was first 64-bit drivers.

    He will have to do a new installation as well.  And if HP is not actively support 64-bit for your model, you will lose the HP software (most consider bloatware anyway).  You will also lose built in recovery option.  So, at least, make sure you create your restore disks.

    You may be able to wash to recover the partition, but I don't know how you would be able to use it without recovery software that HP has loaded.

    I have a Toshiba Windows Vista laptop and I want to upgrade to Windows 7. I have two user accounts and I was just wondering that during the upgrade can I still keep the files that I have on the accounts or they will be deleted? Thank you.

    If you make a way to update your programs and files will be kept. A custom installation will remove your programs and files.

    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
    You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
    If you have any general questions about reinstalling Windows , please see this site:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

    I have windows 7 key to business, how can upgrade to windows 10. I see that it is not included in the upgrade process.

    In some forum I read, I can upgrade with a small charge for windows 7 ultimate, and after that I can move on to W10. Someone can tell me where and how do I upgrade to W7Ultimate?

    Thank you

    Windows 7 Enterprise is a volume license customer, it is not eligible for the free upgrade offer. If you have Windows 7 Enterprise through your employer, contact the network administrator or your Help Desk Support staff for more information on the upgrade to Windows 10 company.

    If you need Windows 10, you can purchase one license other wise, then perform a custom installation. You will need to reinstall the drivers and applications and also to save your personal files.

  • Satellite A210 - 17 X-PSAFGE 03600LFR - upgrade DVD-RAM

    Hello

    I currently have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 17 X - PSAFGE-03600LFR, after the upgrade level of RAM and HARD drive, I would need help to update my DVD-RAM. The original CARPET * a (Panasonic) DVD - RAM UJ-870 doesn't work anymore, because the laser cell seems to be damaged, it will not recognize any disk if the CD-ROM or DVD and firmaware update provided by the assistance of Toshiba Europe has not changed anything.

    Because I need to replace, I would rather install a newer, more efficient, quieter model, but I'm having trouble to find this replacement.

    First, the front "façade" of the current unit is smaller on the right side than on the left most pattern that I find have a rectangular "sham" - that is both sides have the same size, so it does not fit into the laptop. Is that the "bezel" so that I could take the old Chase and put it on the new?

    Someone would be able to provide me with assistance to choose the correct replacement drive?

    Thanks in advance
    Kind regards

  • Satellite A210 - 11 p: how to monitor CPU temperature

    Hello

    I bought a laptop Satellite A210 - 11 p in January this year, I'm very happy with it.
    Anyone know how I can monitor the temperature of the processor?

    As the fan speed increases and decreases, I fear that the laptop heat up.
    I supoose it's normal, I use the laptop on a desk, so it isn't a problem with the air flow.

    Any advice would be grately appreciated
    Thank you

    I use the Everest Home edition application. It monitors and provides details on the temperature of the processor and HARD drive.

    > As the fan speed increases and decreases, I fear that the laptop heats up.
    You are right. The speed of the fan depends on the internal temperature. According to the use of the laptop, the temperature increases and decreases.

    To be honest I don t see any problems and it is normal behavior.
    So relax and enjoy your laptop ;)

  • Satellite A210 - 11 c - how to return to my old BIOS

    Hello

    I've recently updated my BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite A210 - 11 c using WINPHLASH.

    Just before I did, it made a backup of my old bios as a BIOS. BAK file...

    How can I use it to go back to my old BIOS as my fans do not respect your laptop as cool as they use to be!

    Thank you!

    You cannot old BIOS because the driver Toshiba page provides only the latest version of the BIOS.

    In addition, the most recent BIOS should be better and improve
    If you have cooling problems, then I would recommend changing the settings in the Power Options. Check the settings advanced as cooling CPU processing speed and performance.

  • Satellite U500 - 11G - cannot activate the upgrade to Windows 7

    Really sorry to this topic, but with the new Satellite U500 - 11G can not activate the upgrade to Windows 7. Keep told by entering the serial number that it was origonally installed with Vista, but no info on how to activate it.

    Any help here please?

    Hi mate

    The Toshiba pre-installed Vista OS has already been activated.

    AFAIK if you upgraded the operating system Vista to Win 7 using the Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade kit then a Win 7 must be already activated and does not need to be enabled separately
