Satellite C850 - downgrade to win 8 to Win 7

Epilogue:

OK, so I tried my best. I realize there are a few nice things about Win8, but as a daughter-in-law ginger I just can't accept it as part of my life. I've had the phone for 6 months now and what are the changes that I do, I just keep coming back to the fact I'm trying to force Win 8 in the way that Windows 7 works which is stupid when Windows 7 is available. The only real reason I braked, Win 8 was the preinstalled operating system (Toshiba should really reconsider that decision, it of a horrible OS for anything other than the occasional use of Tablet and actually paralyzes their material). But the time has come, I can not simply continue. Win7 should return to the throne.

Go ahead:

Anyway, preamble, I have a few questions about the "downgrade". First off I used the Toshiba 'Recovery Media Creator' to create the backup disks (which I assume the laptop back to the State 'out of the box') and back up important data. I have Windows 7 on a USB bootable (a legal copy of too - oh, how decadent!).

I think I need to put the Boot_ _Secure to * Disabled * and the _Boot Mode_ to * CSM Boot * so that my USB bootable to be detected. I read several pages to this subject and some people suggest I need a kind of SATA drivers on the stick too. Can anyone confirm this is true or not? If it is true, where can I get coming from (URL if poss?) and where to put them on the handle (root? It ask for a location?).

In terms of installation, it is just the standard installation of Win 7, but you must delete all partitions on the HARD drive to remove things inherited from TPG, right? Once the Secure Boot/UEFI malarkey went it is just a standard laptop - or I am me wrong?

What to do next:

YOU! I need you! In a Kitchener way (if you don't know what I mean, google Kitchener), I need you to tell me if I'm being a fool. Not on the "downgrade" because it may be the thing the smarter I'll do with this laptop - win 8 is so frustrating awkward that I wouldn't be surprised if this is not the first operating system diagnosed with a personality disorder - the thing I need people to tell me what if I missed anything on my list "return of zen". Is it really just BIOS, USB boot (with SATA drivers?), delete partitions, create new unified partition and then finally to install the new OS? Did any of his right or am I'm going to be stuck at halfway through to see that I forgot to change something leaving my fubar' laptop computer ed?

TL; DR.?

Win 7 on Win 8, need help.

Summary:

Thanks to all who answer. The power of your, em... Well what you want to (except it dirty you rabbit!).

:)

Before restoring W7, take a look at the classic interface (classicshell.net) and you can change your mind. It looks like W7, it behaves like W7, so it must be W8!

    Hello!

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C850 - Z19 (Windows 8 is installed).

    I tried several BIOS config, I don't remember; .the retailer (using Ubuntu) could not help.

    > I recently had to reinstall Windows 8 and since then my wireless keeps dropping out.

    and I guess you have no. WLan performance issues prior to reinstallation of Win 8.
    Is this correct?

    The whole issue is probably related to some parameters.
    I recommend you to check the following settings.

    In the device-> card Manager WLan-> properties-> tab power management
    Here, you must deselect the option to disable the device (Wlan) in the case of saving power.

    In addition, you should check the WLan energy saving setting
    Control Panel-> power-> plan management power-> for advanced power settings-> wireless adapter settings. The parameter must be set to the Performance

  • Satellite C850 - 1 4 - Win 8.1 don't pair with Android Tablet

    Hi people,

    I tried to pair my notebook without success (my first try with BT).
    The notebook detects the PC and the password dialog box is displayed on the pc. I confirm and the Tablet indicates it is coupled.

    It's like he goes. There is no indication on the pc the device is recognized so unable to connect. I miss something or something wrong? I want to get this working.

    I downloaded the new BT stack has a couple of weeks before you try to pair.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

    There is no indication on the pc the device is recognized so unable to connect.
    First of all, you should check if the BT is enabled on the laptop properly.

    In Windows 8, you can activate the BT in:
    1. press on the Windows key + C,.
    2. Select the charm of settings and then click Change PC settings
    3. Select wireless.
    4. you can now change the settings to enable or disable Bluetooth or wireless.

    If BT is activated correctly, you should be able to add the BT device.
    In laptop-> device settings , click on Add a device.
    Now a box should appear showing you the BT device which should be connected.
    The left click on the device and shortly after the box with the pairing code (the same should be visible on your tablet) should appear.
    Then click Yes to confirm and finish peeling.

    That's all.

  • How to install Win 8 on Satellite C850 after HARD drive failure?

    I have a PC repair business and a customer gave me a portable Satellite C850-1 kN which took a catastrophic hard disk failure (just clicking from the road).

    I replaced the hard drive and tried to boot from a DVD 8 Windows, changing the order of startup in the bios, however, it still gives an error message "no boot device."

    I see no way to turn off boot UEFI, it appears grayed out in the configuration of the bios.

    How can I reinstall Windows on this laptop?

    First, you must know that the (CSM/UEFI mode) parameter must be changed if you want to install the system supported UEFI not (Win 7 and higher).
    Win 8 and 8.1 Win are UEFI capable systems and you should be able to use the option to UEFI mode.

    What about the secure boot option?
    Have you found and have you tried to disable this option?

  • Blue screen after upgrading to Win 8.1 - Satellite C850 - 17G

    A year ago, I bought a Satellite C850 - 17 G (PSKCCE) with Windows 7 pre-installed. For a small fee, I upgraded to Win 8. Worked well.

    In November 2013, I wanted to do the free update to Win8.1. There I estimated at 2.5 months and a lot of reading on the forums to complete the upgrade to 8.1 Win. Everything worked fine for about 3 weeks.

    Can I get some updated windows up-to-date pressed, restarted the laptop and it ended the history of success.
    Blue screen and I had this option was to force back to the factory settings.
    So here I am again with Windows 7.

    On the Toshiba site, I see now that my model of laptop, Satellite C850 with part No. PSKCCE is not a model of support for the update 8.1 Win. Can someone tell me why?

    It will support in the future?

    > On the Toshiba site, I see now that my model of laptop, Satellite C850 with part No. PSKCCE is not a model of support for the update 8.1 Win

    Hmm, I guess you're wrong because on the Toshiba UE driver page I could find drivers Windows 8.1 for the Satellite C850 PSKCCE
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    BSOD issues are really bothersome, because this can happen due to hardware malfunction or also due to problems of system or driver.
    Same 3rd party software could affect systems

    That's why it very difficult to say what might cause this problem without checks unique pieces, the pilot, and the reporting system.

  • C850-F0152 - Wireless satellite went after installing Win 7

    What I mean, it's, I had wireless with win8, I could connect to networks and things, but with reformatting its just went, there is no adapter wireless picked up in my device manager and I don't see anything in the network and sharing Center.

    All my drivers are installled... I think, I let windows download most of them and the only ones that I can't find online and that windows is also not's. Controller, USB network controller, then it lists 1 unknown device.

    Someone help please, I had no idea whats going on.

    > All of my drivers are installed, I think,.

    Well, I think that you have not installed a compatible WLan driver

    The laptop seems to support Realtek Wlan / BT combo card.
    This means that a single module shares the Wlan and BT function.

    In this case, you must install Realtek Wlan driver, Realtek BT filter package and finally the Toshiba BT stack.

    PS. Satellite C850-F0152 belongs to the PSCBWF series. All drivers should be available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver

  • Satellite C850-108 - WLan card driver for Win 7

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C850-108 and recently it just completely crashed.
    Being stupid I never had chance to create a disc of recovery etc for her.

    I have a friend who sent me a disc to reinstall windows 7.
    However when I did I lost all drivers and that she had to reinstall completely as Iv been discover which ones I need.

    A big problem I had is that when I install the driver for network controller he simply refuses to install saying there is no detected network driver.
    I tried to go to devices and exclamation yellow etc but still doesn t find anything.

    I download many drivers of Toshiba to try to fix it but still the same problem. I can only connect to the internet via Ethernet.
    It's like I don't have a WiFi card.

    I m very confused and frustrated by this, if anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot as this.

    PS I installed using 32 bit, but when I check my serial number it says it is 64-bit. This could be a party if the cause?

    As I m wrong not the Satellite C850-108 does support the Realtek RTL8188CE WLan card.
    If you need to install the Realtek WLan driver for chip RTL8188CE.

    You should be able to download the driver directly from the Realtek page:
