• Is it safe to upgrade Satellite C660 / 660D to 10 Windows

  I want to upgrade to Windows 10, my laptop is aproximidly 2 years.
  I have a toshiba satellite C660/660D. My question is; I can do it, I have to get new driverpack for it, where can I get those or Windows will find itself?
  Is anyone here who has the same laptop as mine and the upgrade? Will you tell me if this is satisfactory, but it works correctly?

  I did the upgrade on my own as soon as it became available. I found this worked OK but was a bit disappointed by the absence of perfprmance speedor. One of the options for you is to create a 10 disk DVD set windpws I did. Then I did a new install of windows 10 and reloaded all my programs. This has a portable work much better.
  According the information I read you need to do the first updated Microsoft then will issue a license that is kept on servers that is unique to your machine. When do you it a re - install it is not necessary to enter a license during the installation key, simply skip this step.

  Windows 10 rauns well on this laptop I have not had any problems with other than the card reader drivers, but googling found a driver that works now, unfortunately I don't remember where I found it sorry. I think the driver of Windows 8 was one I used.

  In November there was a big update, I had problems with. The installation of it was causing my laptop overheating and automatic stop before finishing. I have overheating problems on this machine despite disassemble and clean and replace the thermal paste on the processor.

  I had to make a new record to Win 10 installation updated on another PC and use it to update the Toshiba, but it was still close during the update and came near close.

  Win 10 works very well and starts quickly, although I have replace the hard drive under Win 7 for one SSD due to the failure of the hard drive, which will account for some of the performance...

  I, like others, do not like everything, about 10, but it does not work on the C660 - 1 7 I own

• Satellite C660-162 compatible with Windows 8?

  Hello

  I just installed windows on my Satellite C660 - 162 PSCOSE 8 and I want to know if it is compatible with my Toshiba model, because I heard that windows 8 may damage the computer if it is not compatible with it

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  In my opinion these should ask themselves before Win8 installed. More info about Win8 instalation on Toshiba laptops, you can read on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8-message/
  There you can check the support for your laptop model > Toshiba matrix compatibility. Check it out.
  >... I heard that windows 8 may damage the computer if it is not compatible with it
  I don't know what kind of damage you hear, but in General, you can install any OS and check if and how it works.

  The only thing that will be damaged is HARD drive recovery option, so I hope that you created the recovery disc until you have installed the Win8 version.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Satellite C660-12R - Compatible with Windows XP?

  Hi friends,

  I would like to ask if my Toshiba Satellite C660-R12 is compatible with Windows XP? I'm not able to find any information about it.

  Thanks for your help

  Hi wencman,

  It is important to know if you can get all the drivers for your model laptop and Windows XP. This should be checked on the official page of Toshiba:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Satellite C660-12R belongs to the PSC0QE series and as you can see all the drivers for Windows XP are available so to install XP should be no problem. You can download the drivers official and pre-tested. :)

• Satellite Pro 4320 - upgrade to Windows XP Home edition

  I have a 'standard' of Satellite Pro 4320 and plans the upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP - either domestic or professional. Y at - it advice on the problems or things to watch I'm likely to encounter?

  Hi Graham,

  Only problem you may have is that the Toshiba utilities were all designed for Windows 2000 and may not work properly with XP. Downloads available for your laptop have only an update of the BIOS for XP.

  Obviously XP contains device and utility drivers much more generic, so you may find that your system will work very well with the latter. Similarly, you can see that install the original Toshiba utility will work also. I have no definitive evidence either way.

  You can also find you would benefit to increase the RAM since XP uses rather than previous operating systems.

• Satellite A200 - 23P - upgrading to Windows 7

  About 2 years ago, I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 - 23P with Windows Vista perinstalled. Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7. I download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, he wrote that:

  1) more info at TOSHIBA TOSHIBA has a Web site that might give you more information on getting Windows 7 on your PC. Visit the TOSHIBA Web site
  (I have not found information on your web site on the updated issues)

  And information on the TOSHIBA software as: Disc Creator, DVD player, Config Freeetc... that they "don't have information of compatibility on this version of the program.

  I want to know is - this security upgrade to Windows 7? I have to make some preparations or sth like that? Or is it better to stay right on Vista).

  THX.

  Hey,.

  I know, on the official website of Toshiba, is there no more information about the Windows 7 upgrade because this Windows 7 upgrade offer has already ended a few months ago.

  Before an upgrade or new installation, check on the Web from Toshiba site, if all drivers and tools are available for your laptop.
  If so, the upgrade should t be a problem, but I would have preferred a clean install. Correctly, it will work more smooth the upgrade version instead.

  Hello

  I have L650 - 15G with pre installed W7HP.
  I want to improve this, Pro or ultimate.
  As I come from UNITED Arab Emirates, Windows any time upgrade is not possible. Is there another way to upgrade?

  Also the Toshiba provides no upgrade option?
  The upgrade is also very expensive * 120 pounds *.

  Is there a cheaper option?

  Hi dude

  See this Microsoft page:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/UK/Windows/default.aspx
  Here you can find details on the upgrade to Windows 7.

  > Also Toshiba provides no upgrade option?
  To my knowledge, it was possible to upgrade Vista to Win 7 operating system and these updates were provided by Toshiba in the past, but is no longer available again

  So, in my opinion, you can use the update opportunities provided by Microsoft.

• Satellite L755 - PSK2YE - upgrade of Windows 8 - CPU spikes driven at the start of app

  Hello

  Recently, I upgraded my OS Windows 8 Pro.
  Since then, when I open an application or a new Web tab which requires some effort from shockwave plugin or gpu process, I noticed a spike cpu which lasts 3-9 seconds.

  These spikes increase the temperature of the cpu from 50 ° c to 70 ° c.
  But when the spike is complete, gets back to its usual temperature (50 ° c).

  I have tried almost everything I read, but so far nothing has solved the problem. I tried the clean boot, safemode (network option checked), active the windows updates manual, at the request of maintenance at a specific time, disabled an option that allows atheros controller turn the unit off when the laptop is in sleep mode.

  My drivers are all up to date, so I don't really know what's going on, so I would be sincerely grateful for your help.

  Other info:

  Toshiba Satellite L755 - PSK2YE (cpu - i5 - 2.30 GHz / RAM - 4 GB / 64-bit)

  PS: Three months ago, I sent my laptop to a toshiba centre clean the flue.
  I use balanced energy mode, but the same problem occurs when I use high performance one.

  However in power saving mode there is no ears at all. I used to see the same behavior when I reduced the maximum processor state to 95%.

  > However in power saving mode, there are at all without crampons. I used to see the same behavior when I reduced the maximum processor state to 95%.

  The spikes appear due to stress CPU.
  I noticed something similar to running some applications Chrome for a few seconds, the CPU would be stressed to the point where the fans begin to run with the highest performance. After about 5-10 seconds, CPU load goes down and the fans run slower.

  I guess that's a result of bad programming of some applications such as constraints of software the CPU too

  Thank you.

  Matt

  Hey Buddy,

  > 1. I'll be able to perform a clean install by reformatting the drive?
  If you buy an upgrade disc, you can t do a clean install. With a upgrade disk, you can only upgrade Vista to Windows 7.

  > 2. Is there a utility from Toshiba, which will find all drivers for Windows 7?
  No, you must do it yourself.

  > 3. Toshiba drivers are required to be installed for Windows 7 succeed?
  All the drivers you need can be downloaded from the Toshiba U.S. page where is your laptop model:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com > download > laptops > Satellite > Satellite P305-S8820

  > 4. Y at - it an update of the necessary Bios for machine work on Windows 7?
  No, the BIOS update has nothing to do with the operating system and if everything is ok with your laptop don t make an update of the BIOS. It is not important if you have a serious problem that can be solved with the BIOS update.

• Satellite U500-1F4 - upgrade in Windows 7 Home Premium to professional?

  I'll buy the Toshiba Satellite U500-1F4 with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit that can be retrieved using Toshiba-HDD recovery.

  I can upgrade these BONES using WAU Home Premium to Professional 7 Windows, or should I buy Windows 7 professional full and install it?

  Hey mate,

  You can use the Windows Anytime Upgrade program, that s no problem and it makes no difference if you use this tool or a full version of Windows 7 Professional. The result is always the same => an upgrade to Home Premium to professional.

  Theoretically, you can make a completely new installation if you buy a copy of Windows 7 Professional, but I n t see a reason for this. An upgrade also works.

  But the question is: do you need the features they are provided with the professional version?

• Satellite C660-10F - need for Windows XP 32 bit LAN driver

  Hello
  I want to my hard drive of the C660-10F to a storage network using Ghost 15 recovery disk backup CD. So I have to configure the recovery disk bootable CD with the driver LAN C660-10F for XP 32 bit to get access to the network at the start of this CD. When I use the file lan - en - 20101105155404.zip with XP drivers from the Toshiba download page I get the error message

  Impossible to copy a device driver 64-bit hardware for a DTH of 32-bit image. One or more binary files listed in... does not match the target DTH platform

  It seems that XP drivers contain partially 64-bit files. Same problem when using the original drivers Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller! Where I can I get running 32 - bit XP drivers for the LAN of the C660-10F controller?

  Thank you

  Hi lagraf,

  All Windows XP drivers on the Toshiba Web site are for XP 32 bit version for 64-bit was never supported.

  What you can do to test the Realtek drivers directly:
  [www.realtek.com]

  If it doesn t work I think you must communicate directly with the external HARD disk. Most NAS devices also have the USB port.
