Satellite L50-C-22 - update of victory 10 home win 10 Pro

Summary: I have a new Toshiba laptop, pre-installed with 10 Home X 64 Windows and want to update, as simply and not destructive as possible to 10 Pro Windows.

I bought my Toshiba Satellite L50 - C - 22 L last month and, overall, I'm very happy with it. He moved in with MS Windows 10 (X 64) running on 8 GB of RAM and works well. I have a couple of other machines running Windows 10 Pro and missed some additional features, so I bought a Pro product key. I had assumed that I would go to the settings screen, choose the 'Activation' option and then click the button change the product key. My new key would be accepted and the system should perform an upgrade in-place to Windows Pro 10.

Which has proved to be a little ambitious.

The process failed with the message "the product key you entered cannot be used to activate this edition of Windows. Please try a different key. I spoke to Microsoft and they have confirmed the key that it is authentic, but suggest it only works if I rubbed and rebuilt laptop computer with a new installation, registering the new product key to a suitable place in the build process. (This raises the question of what the "Change product key" button is a commercial copy of the OS, but that's another story).

My question is, can I follow the instructions to create a recovery on the laptop media to recover a version of the PC factory reset, but change to include the key product Pro Win 10? If I understand correctly, if there is a WIM file as part of the recovery media, it contains all versions of Windows 10 32 - bit and 64 - bit. Installed the final version is 'unlocked' by the product key. This depends, however, how Toshiba packaged installation of recovery files and if they can be twisted this way.

Of course, there may be a more obvious way to achieve the same goal I'm missing completely, so any other suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks for reading,

Steve

  • Satellite M70-122: Question about the necessary drivers for Win XP Pro

    Hello
    I formatted my Satellite M70-122 in order to install Win XP - Pro and so I lost all drivers and programs pre installed. It seems that the recovery CD is of no use in this case, and I was wondering if there was a driver CD, I could order.
    I found the drivers (62 so far) for my machine on the Toshiba site and I was as well, I was wondering if I should download and install all. What about programs like the CD/DVD burner?
    Where can I get them back?

    Thank you.

    Christophe

    Hello

    The Tools & Utilities CD but that contains all the necessary drivers is not delivered with the unit, can be created by the user himself. If the unit is installed with recovery media you can find under Toshiba assist > protect & difficulty > create CD drivers & tools.

    All these drivers, tools & utilities that you can use for your own installation. Otherwise you need to download them from Toshiba download page, and please check the instructions facilities document and install all things in order. Order of the facilities is very important.

    Good luck!

    What BIOS settings you changed exactly?
    Usually, you will need to disable secure boot and have spend the the CSM UEFI boot mode.

    By the way: have you used the Microsoft original own installation CD to install the system, or have you used a backup for the installation of the OS image?

    And to be honest, the question of his No. is not uncommon.

    You know that some series of portable needs a special version of the BIOS after installing Windows XP or Windows Vista. It is important to use the right BIOS!

    In addition, you should be sure you used the right and compatible Realtek audio driver.
    If you need to download a new one from the Realtek page.

    Last but not least you must update the operating system to the State.

    I'm updating with Windows Update.  When I click on control of updates, I get the following error message:

    "The Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running."  You may have to restart your computer. »

    Several reboots do nothing.  Enter the watch Services that Udate Windows is launched and running.

    It has been like this for several weeks.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?  TIA!

    I found a simple solution on the Microsoft Web site.  It is apparently a common problem.

    Solution is to delete the content of the C:\windows\SofwareDistribution folder and restart.  Widows Update works now, although he will respond as if Windows has never been updated.

  • Satellite L50 - A - 16 H - Webcam + microphone does not work

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite L50 - A - 16: updating win8.1 64 bit.
    When I got this new laptop everything worked fine, but later it stopped working.
    I sent it to Toshiba for repair and ofcouse they made and works (the MB has been replaced?), but now, I noticed that my webcam and my microphone does not work. If I try to open the camera it says 'connect a camera' or on Skype, he asks the same thing.

    I read in the forums to look at the BIOS to enable, but there is no activation/deactivation button.
    I tried to search for a driver for the Webcam in the Toshiba site but I couldn't find: c
    and the microphone "working normally" but I when I try to call my friends can't hear me.

    I hope someone can help me with this problem, thank you very much :)

    You know what: best thing you can do as the ultimate test is to backup all your data and reinstall the original recovery image. By default the BIOS settings and install recovery image.
    After ding that you will have to re-buy factory and absolutely identical situation after laptop settings.
    Please test and send feedback.

    In my opinion, if the problem persists it could be hardware related issue. Maybe is cam not connected correctly.

  • Update Win 7 Pro to win 10 Pro

    When I received notifications on my computer at the office (Win 7 Pro); Home (Win 7 Pro) and my laptop (Win 7 Pro) in all cases, I see only a verification that I am currently running Win 7 but no mention of the Pro!  I need for remote access.

    As I read the many comments on the situation, I hope that I understand that if I have Win 7 Pro, I will be upgraded to win 10 Pro.  However, before you start the upgrade on any of my computers, I would like to know if there is a way required and recommended to start the upgrade that will ensure I get the Pro versions or will happen automatically?

    Yes, your installation of Windows 7 Professional will be modernized for Windows 10 Pro.

    If you start the upgrade through Windows Update, or media ISO creation tool, you will get 10 Pro in Windows.

    Option 1:

    Download the media creation tool

    Click with the right button on the MediaCreationTool.exe file and then click on run as administrator.

    Note: How to check if you are downloaded or installed the update Windows 10 November

    How to create an ISO or USB drive.

    Select upgrade this PC now and then click Next

    Option 2:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
  • Satellite L50-B-16V - Starcraft 2 performance decreased after update BIOS?

    Hello

    I played Starcraft 2 for awhile on my Satellite L50-B-16V using average settings quite fluently, however, now the computer's performance has worsened considerably. Framerate decreases with the increase of number of units in the game, in the end that I get framerate as images 1 / 3 sec, even low settings.

    The only thing that has changed since the game worked fine, was updated to BIOS to version 2.0. Could it be the cause of the problem? And if so, is it a safe way to downgrade the BIOS to 1.9?

    Thank you.
    Karel

    Hello

    The BIOS update should not affect the performance of the game.
    But after the BIOS update you should definitely take the default settings of the BIOS (by pressing F9 in BIOS). Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.

    In addition, you must check the AMD/ATI settings in the ATI Control Center.
    As I m not wrong no you can increase the performance of the GPU but of course, it would increase GPU s heat dissipation and temperature s notebook would be upward.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 1DV Win8.1 - Windows Update error 0 x 80070057

    Hello

    Toshilba Satellite L50-B-1DV my son has not run successfully a Windows Update since last October - I only discovered this yesterday.

    When I had a look at the updates and pretty nearly any type of troubleshooting, I try, fails with the error message "0 x 80070057. I have rooted online but can not see any patches, obvious.

    We would prefer to solve ourselves, but that machine is that six months our next step is to take it back to John Lewis for repair - which would be a shame because he uses his laptop everyday.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Mark

    Hello

    You mentioned the error 0 x 80070057 during installation of the update.
    This error occur due to several reasons and that's why it s not easy to say why this happens exactly. But the most common cause can be the missconfigured or damaged registry system reserved partition.

    My recommendation for the workaround:
    Try to repair the system and the registry using CCLeaner. You can use this freeware software for cleaning the registry and to remove the garabage system.

    If this is not enough, try to repair the operating system using the own options of the system.
    The "automatic repair" option tries automatically to diagnose and resolve problems that may cause Windows 8 not at the beginning or have different behavior of evil.
    Auto repair starts automatically when Windows cannot start properly. If it finds problems, it will automatically try to fix it, but it can also be started manually.

    Access to the auto repair located on Windows 8 start screen. Now "Advanced" in the search box. When the search results display, click on the category of "settings".

    Now, click on the "advanced boot options" option and you will see the screen "General PC settings. Look for the option "Advanced startup". Click the restart and Windows 8 will restart your computer to directly access the advanced boot menu.

    Click the "Troubleshooting", then on the button 'Advanced Options '. Click on the option "automatic repair". Your computer will now reboot and Windows is preparing the auto repair. When it's done, you log on to an administrator account.

    Click on the "Continue" button to continue the auto repair. Automatic repair will now start and attempt to diagnose the problem with your computer.

    During the process of auto repair, your computer may restart. It is a normal behavior. Once completed the automatic repair process, he will let know you if she has been able to repair anything. If this isn't the case, you will see a prompt asking you if you want to stop or use other tools.

    If your computer is still unable to start, you need to click on the 'Advanced Options' button, then select "Troubleshooting" and finally "Advanced Options." For an auto repair failed, please try the built-in windows 'System restore' using the recovery media or the option "Reset".

  • Satellite L50 - A - 14 L - update to windows 8.1

    Hi all

    I have a portable Satellite L50 - A - 14 L and in the next few weeks, I want to upgrade the operating system windows 8 to version 8.1.

    On the Toshiba site I found the following procedure to perform the update

    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/

    However, I have some reservations about this procedure, for example: if I uninstall the WLAN driver, can I provide Internet connectivity during the update?

    If someone in the forum has already made the update on the same notebook, could he kindly post the steps and possible problems?

    Thank you

    Post edited by: wishmaster73

    You must follow exactly the instructions step by step, as indicated on the page to update Toshiba win 8.1.
    But of course, if you would uninstall the WLan driver, you would NOT be able to use the Wi - Fi connection.
    In such cases its recommended to use LAN or to download all the stuff you need external USB flash stick memory before you uninstall the WLan driver would be!

    My advice to you is: don't change anything, if not necessary.

  • Satellite L50-A-160 does not start after the Bios Update

    Hi, first of all, this is first post.

    I have 2 satellite L50-A-160 with bios 1.1

    Problem: seems to go to sleep after a few minutes, even working on them (even with both)

    So, I found an updated version 1.9, downloaded and running on one of the laptops. the biosupdate tool found matching the BIOS and a race.
    In the middle of flashing, he fell asleep. turned on and not start. What can I do? Recovery options? I guess the same thing will happen with the other too...

    What is the problem with these computers?

    Besides; very poor battery, always shows 0% available and not charging...
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Best regards
    -always in the hope.

    Have you tried to change in Power Options?

    See screenshot and try to change the ones I marked (it can refresh the settings, just change the values) and see if this solves the problem.

    and for the other laptop with no boot, a laptop sleep by updating the bios will surely mess it.

    what I don't understand is why your sleep laptop BIOS update, as far as I know the sleep settings is active then on windows (since this is controlled by windows)
    He does not sleep while in the BIOS you leave 1 year, sleep settings active only after loading windows.

    have you tried to check the time of processor for your laptop? Maybe its overheating causing auto-off

    Hello

    Whenever I try to install the Driver Realtek Wireless LAN 2023.17.731.2015 using Toshiba Service Station, the program starts and the permissions window arrives, I click Yes but nothing happens. No other window does not appear, and the update is still in service station as if nothing happened.

    I am using a Satellite L50 - C

    Thanks for any info

    It could be interference from program, first go into your software settings in your BIOS, go to security and disable secure boot. This can sometimes prevent update programs. And then perform a clean boot, follow these instructions to make a boot minimum https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135
    Then, disable your antivirus and firewall completely and run the update again.

    I want to change the unit of dvd with 2nd SATA Hard Drive HARD drive SSD Caddy for Toshiba Satellite L50-B-182 Re SU-208FB (found on ebay, $ 20).

    What is the best configuration?

    In the new tray dvd box, put / install 750GB hdd drive of my laptop
    Replace the 750 GB HDD with MX100 Crucial 256 GB SATA 6 Gbps internal SSD 2.5 "
    is it posible? These changes will have a big increase in the performance of my laptop?

    Thank you very much.
    Juan Carlos

    As I understood your message; you want to put the current HARD drive in the Bay ODD (optical disc), then a new SSD drive in the HARD drive Bay.
    Is this right?

    Well, first of all it s a good idea to replace the HARD drive with SSD drive. You will definitely get a boost huge performance. I did these updates in the past, and my laptop runs a lot faster.

    Now back to the question on the use of the HARD drive instead of driving ODD.
    I put t know if it will be possible since the laptop does not support the special feature of selection-Bay.
    In the past, some other laptops Toshiba Tecra and Portege series supported these updates but I'm not very well on laptops Satellite m.

    So in the worst case the HARD disk will not be recognized in the ODD Bay

    Satellite L50-c-215 is a laptop sold without optical drive or OS.

    We bought it today.


    Questions:

    -We were told "it is compatible with windows 7", but what a salesman said, everything can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba site
    -While watching the Web from Toshiba site, a link says 'no system operating inside'. Link is corrupt
    -2 "official" companies are listed for the Bulgarian Web from Toshiba site are wrong: nobody told on the phone that they are not official support from Toshiba


    Technical questions:

    -J' tried to put several Windows 7 ISO on a USB key, using the official Microsoft tool and Rufus, but I got error that says "CD/DVD Driver is missing."
    -In some forums, it is said that test the spirit of the thing that a USB 2.0 can solve if USB 3.0 will fail. Each USB failed.

    Sales question:

    -Although the European commercial law says people have a little more time to restore a non-working product and be reimbursed, when we returned to the computer at the Technopolis shop a few hours after the purchase, employees told us ' problem is not hardware: we do not cancel the sale, we can take over the computer and give your money. " "Problem is software: see with Toshiba.
    The best we could get was the address of a computer service non-Toshiba to try to ask if they might be able to install Windows 7


    I already spent half a day working on it
    What can we do to install Windows 7 or get the computer returned and refunded?

    Tried Tnings at night:

    -> Intall Ubuntu 12.04: card WiFi can't work, no Ethernet cable to update from the Internet

    The drivers are on the website of Intel, but solution install require packages to download on the internet, not USB

    -> Last Debian version: error starting in the command line

    -> 14.04 installed, Ubuntu box checked during installation to use the Intel Wifi device
    Re: software WiFi cannot connect. Spent a few hours on forums to try to understand how to install the Intel USB drivers. Does not work.

    For people who want to buy this model, try to get a player of optical disk to install Windows, a good cable to Linux, update or be prepared to spend time and money for the service simply be able to use the computer.

    Oh, another thing: Technopolis company is not able to provide you with enough information before buying a product. I will not say that they rip off, but almost: especially to overseas buyers, buy refusal refund to anyone who is not able to have an argument that was screaming in Bulgarian with them.
