• Impossible to activate wireless on Satellite L450D - 11H

  Got a new Satellite L450D - 11H. Windows 7 preinstalled. Can not turn on wifi, Fn + F8 does not allow it. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can not activate because the FN buttons do not work with Win 7 until the pilot and the tool is not installed.

  I didn t find Win 7 driver currently on the European driver Toshiba page, but you can choose the drivers released for other Toshiba Satellite series.
  Try to install the VAP released for i.e A350, P300 series or other package.

  A friend of mine installed Win 7 on A500. Win 7 drivers are not available for this series, but he used the drivers for the A350 and most of the features and ok!

• Can I downgrade to windows 7 to 8.1

  I have a HP Pavilion notebook 15-n083sa and I have some problems to connect to man through a program called hamachi, I've done everything on this laptop (with windows 8.1 on) and nothing works. Then I tried to plug it into my other laptop with windows 7 and I could easily connect. I was wondering, can I downgrade from windows 8.1 for windows 7.

  Thanks in advance

  

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You can buy a copy of Windows 7 with a certificate of authenticity and a valid product key of Windows 7. You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and perhaps ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  or

  

  Also, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  Please report to the Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all devices missing or unknown, as shown in the example below.

  Can I downgrade to Windows 7 on Vaio E series 11, specifically SVE11135CXW.  I don't see the drivers on the download page.  I'm a member of faculty who would like this laptop, but hate the idea of Winows 8.

  Hello

  SVE11135CXW comes with Windows 8. Drivers for Windows 7 are not available for download. If you wish you can downgrade to Windows 7, but many features may not work in the absence of compatible drivers. The generic drivers of the operating system are installed automatically.

• Can I downgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows XP Professional

  QUESTIONS: 1) can I demote a machine Win7 Starter purchased through package of retail full license, never installed, XP Pro OS?  Assume that both are 32-bit.  I was thinking of buying one of these netbooks cheap in Walmart stores that are Windows 7 upgrade option to Windows 8 (which I do not wish to use), and experiment.  If Win7 is proving to be as disastrous as I wait, I want to install a new copy of the new detail of full XP Pro including Service Pack 3 (which has never been installed on any computer), to downgrade from Windows 7. I've never used in triplicate.
  The machine is Acer Aspire One with Windows 7 Starter edition, on sale at Walmart for only $228.  They have other editions of Windows, I could buy instead, if the Starter Edition is not eligible for a downgrade.
  2) do you anticipate problems of license?  Do not talk about compatibility, as that varies depending on the machine.  It's just that the installation with MS products is always also annoying complicated and always associated with a licensing problem.  I can't guess at what these problems are, they are never what I expect.  Where the question.

  Backstory: I am wary of XP Professional updating to Windows 7, due to the many people experience incompatibilities.  I ran the Win7 Upgrade Advisor, and he has not yet detected what third-party software was running on my machine in his analysis, other than common programs of MS and stuff from the internet.  So I have ZERO faith it will be compatible with my XP software current and material, so 32-bit (which I use now), or 64-bit (which one of my machines can take in charge, but instead, 32-bit XP Prof OS is installed and running).

  It cost me about $100K of my time to switch to XP, in 2005; I just went through two own XP installed on two of my other machines.  Recovery was not possible.  Cost me three months of my life, these facilities.  Wouldn't do it again.  It is unnecessarily complex.

  So I have to check the effectiveness of Win7.  And if she is not enough justify using, as I hope - I have a lot of detail that new (well, once again) never used XP Professional OS bought in a store, that I can use to downgrade.  ("not OEM, not upgrade or academic, etc. so the full XP license is valid for each packet.)  I understand very well that support ends in April 2014 and don't care if it stops.  What I care about is running my business that threatens to Win7, because it changes the interface and eliminates a bunch of features that have been very productive in XP Pro.

  Of course, my impressions have not been tested on a live installation.  ERGO this post.  For me, it's a $100,000 decision, because it is the cost of my time if I deploy Win7.  Sorry for ranting, but I need to explain the reasons for downgrading in context.  Thank you for your time!

  I guess I do not understand you. If you have a version of Xp retail packaging, you can install it on any computer you want. Nothing MS or anyone else can say about it.

  As others have noted you might encounter a driver for some of your hardware problem is not not compatible wth Xp. The only way to know for sure, or I should say the best way, is to install Xp and discover.

  If it was me I would make sure that the computer has a restore disk or a partition to reinstall Win 7 if Xp didn't work. If none of those who were present I would clone the drive hard while Win 7 was still about this. Better safe than sorry.

  Finally, I would make sure that I got a usb Ethernet card so that you could make sure you have the ability to connect when the net card driver was not installed with Xp...

• Can I downgrade to Windows 7 from Windows 8.1 on my desktop computer Pavilion 500-368na

  As I'm not impressed by Windows 8.1 on my brand new, aged 1 week, Desktop, I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade to Windows 7. My pc would be used mainly as office at home with absolutely no interest in the games. Advice and instructions would be appreciated, although I have been informed that it is a complicated procedure. Is this something that should be done by a pc engineer?

  You are right in your assumption that the guarantee may be cancelled.

  Overview of Windows 9 is expected at the end of the month and we are all eager to see more of what she's on about.  Leak screenshots and which are not pure speculation as Microsoft kept a tight lid on this version.  It's perhaps the last full blown, with what they come out.  It could very well become a subscription service similar to what they are currently doing with Office 365 updated.  Other software companies seem to go the same route.

  As I said in my post, you can save 8 looks like Win 7.  There is a free ebook of Dell, Windows 8 for Dummies, you can download from this site, if you are interested.

• Can I downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Home Premium?

• How can I downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP? Where can I get the disks for this?

  No not supplied with the PC recovery CD.  Where to get recovery HP CDs. says buy from Microsoft, Microsoft says contact manufacturer

  original title: Downgrade from windows 7 to XP

  If you have an HP computer with Windows 7 pre-installed,

  (a) you will not be able to find the drivers for your computer hardware for XP (except if you bought your computer, just like Windows 7 was spilled) - even if you could find somehow a copy of XP to install and

  (b) any person at HP who told you to contact Microsoft won't - HP is obliged by its license from Microsoft to provide you with a mechanism (it doesn't have to be physical CDs) to reinstall the operating system that was on the computer when you bought it.

• Satellite P300D-13 has (PSPDCE) - downgrade to Windows XP SP2 from Prof. - pilot

  Hello, first of all, I come from Germany and I hope you understand my problem...

  I bought last week it really useful for computer laptop Satellite P300D-13 (PSPDCE) and have now a few huge problems...

  I have download all the drivers of P300D Series for Windows XP and also installed the display driver.
  My problem is that the sound is not as good as on Vista. He did not get the right sound for me... Is this a driver problem? But I can listen to the sound...

  Another problem is that Windows XP found SM Bus controller, but cannot find a driver for it.

  I know it was a big mistake not to burn a DVD of VISTA recovery but I have all the files for recovery on a separate disk DVD. If I have the Toshiba recovery software can I make a DVD of recovery with the old files of Vista on Windows XP? If all goes well, there is a solution...

  I don't like Vista, it's like a very expansive toy for me. So I decided to install Windows XP Prof. SP2...

  I hope someone can help me...

  Regarding the noise I suggest you to check the website of conexant for some newer drivers, maybe they could improve the 'sound quality' of your audio output.

  The SM-Bus is part of the ATI chipset and install it that you only have to google for "ATI SMBus" that returns thousands of links to driver ATI SM - Bus.
  With the recovery it s not so easy because the file structure on the recovery partition is not similar to the image of final recovery on the recovery CD.

  I suggest to make a picture of your XP, recover your machine with the recovery of HARD drive, burning media, and then copy the picture from your previous installation of XP on the C: drive. I know it sounds a bit like much work but it s worth. :)
