Satellite M50-A-11 q - upgrade Windows 10

I thought I had posted this question yesterday, but I'm not so, apparently, have not :-)

To put it simply, I reserved my copy of Windows 10 along with millions of others. Especially for the Toshiba M series (of Mine a N50-A-11 q comes with Win 8.1), what are your intentions...

(1) upgrade as soon as you can

2. stick with Win 8.1 indefinitely

3. hold at 8.0 indefinitely if that's what he delivered with

4. wait a little to see if other users of Toshiba M50 gets compatibility or performance problems

See you soon

David

Hi David

I have S50 Satellite - B and I ve also reserved my copy of Win10.
To be honest, I won't wait until Toshiba starts Win10 support. I'll immediately install to see how it works and if there is some software issue on.

If something goes wrong I can reinstall original recovery image.

  • Satellite M115 - no sound after upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7

    Hi all

    Recently upgraded my Satellite of Windows XP to Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit. After installation, the high definition Audio Device appears in Device Manager.

    Initially, I had an unknown device listed, but that has been resolved by the installation of the pilot site supervisor password utility from Toshiba. Since then, I have experimented with a number of audio drivers without result. Does anyone have advice?

    I downloaded the Conextant 4.8.0.0 pilots, who are not out during installation by saying "Driver Installation Failed: could not find the device for this driver." So now, I'm sitting here without any noise. It's sad. Please help and I'll give you points.

    Hello

    Remove all audio drivers, you have already installed, reboot the laptop and download an audio driver for the Toshiba driver page

  • Satellite M50-A-110: Question on Windows 10 recovery

    IM thinking of upgrading my M50A-110 of win8 to win10, but I have some concerns

    namely, when I did the recovery on my lap top in win8 chose "remove all and reinstall windows" option.

    During this operation, none of the drivers (geforce experience, drivers intel...), nor programs of utilities toshiba (gas station, office assist...), had to be installed manually, but have been installed as part of the recovery.

    I like this feature so I would know what to do to keep it in win10?

    Did you create a recovery (DVD or USB) media?
    If Yes, you can do what you want with your laptop and to experiment with the upgrade and Windows 10.
    By using this media created you can restore your original version of OS that you got with your laptop satellite.

    If you don't have it, but you still have the original version of the OS please create this support and make backup recovery image. After upgrade Win10 you probably won't able to start HARD recovery disk image installation. Be careful about this.

    Your old Toshiba Satellite M50 probably cannot be upgraded to Windows 7, but go here: http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/upgrade_cae.htm

    What is Windows XP "ATM"?  Right-click on desktop and select Properties.  What version of WIndows XP, including the service pack is shown here?

    What do you mean by 'symbol wireless "?

    Either the light near the wireless switch on the front of the laptop on or off? It will power on and off when you change the switch setting?

    Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK) and list all the icons that you see there.

    The other day I had the same problem but some how I managed to the do stay on. My laptop is a Satellite M50-161, of suggestions, how to fix?

    Thank you

    Hello

    This is probably a case of the amount of time you have set for the computer, before it goes off the screen (i.e. short time = 1 minute). As you have a Satellite M50, if you are running Windows XP can change these settings in Toshiba Power Saver, if you are running Windows Vista, then change the settings in the Power Options.

    This should help you.

  • Satellite M50: Windows did not start because of a corrupted system file

    Hi all.

    I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M50. When you turn on the laptop, a message appears: "Windows did not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \windows\system32\config\system»

    I am aware of my product recovery CD-Rom and have inserted - however, I don't want to reformat my HARD drive as I have files I back (foolishly) not upward.

    Is there another method to repair the corrupted file without having to wipe all files on the HARD drive? (I don't have an XP CD - the operating system is loaded OEM when the laptop was purchased)

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Hmm, using the repair console could be a good way to copy or replace the damaged or missing files on the HARD drive.
    BUT you need to start the console of Windows XP CD of original Startup Repair.
    Without this CD, you will not be able to repair the operating system. The Toshiba Recovery CD contains only image files and does not start the repair console.

    Now the question is; How to back up data.
    You can remove the HARD drive and connect it to the PC second via the external USB HARD disk controller.
    Then you should be able to copy important files on the second computer.
    After backup files you can start the installation from the recovery CD.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A505 - upgrade Windows 7 does not start

    Received the Toshiba update disc and the upgrade wizard identified 6 Toshiba components that are not compatible, or for which Windows has no information (Cyberlink, configfree, disc creator, utility eco, face recognition, region Select utility of Internal Modem).

    Update to Windows 7 never run and I guess I should do something with these 7. However, the Toshiba site, I see that many of them ARE most perceive version and some have no updates.

    Should I just delete these and try the update?

    Hello

    If the upgrade wizard shows that these versions are not compatible with Windows 7 you should remove. An upgrade to Windows 7 n t would be possible otherwise.

    I put t know what Satellite A505 you exactly, but on the European Web site most of the tools and drivers for Satellite A500 are already available for Windows 7.

  • Satellite M50-165 memory upgrade problem

    Hello
    I realized that I bought a model that is only sold in Saudi Arabia. This is the model of Satellite M50-165. I want to improve the memory, I bought memory from EBAY who said it works in M50 sieries, but he did not.

    I read all the manuals in Toshiba, tried to contact by phone, they said that they do not have this model.

    in any case, I'd appreciate any help in that matter, as I am looking to upgrade the system to its full potential, I guess 2 Giga.

    Hi Peter

    AFAIK you can't install any driver before the installation process is complete and the OS starts. There are just standard divers from Microsoft installed. I really don know why it freezes, but if there is any attempt of the possibility of installing Win that include SP1. If you find something interesting, please let me know.

  • System recovery satellite M50 after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    The drive of my laptop Satellite M50 becomes rather clicky and looks like it's on its way. Replacing, it will not present any problems, but I will replace it with a drive of at least double the capacity of origin.

    At one point, I had installed a Linux system and when I tried to reinstall my Windows system on a partition that is smaller than the entire recovery cd disk threw a wobbly and refused to proceed as it did not recognize the hardware profile of my portable computer, that the drive was too small.

    I expect the same thing to be true once I upgraded the HARD drive.

    How can I avoid this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    PK

    I would like to clone the old drive if it is an option.

  • Satellite M50-PSM53A has the constant fan noise

    Hi all

    A year ago I upgraded my Satellite M50 (PSM53A) from Windows XP to Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. I also downloaded the BIOS update for Vista from my region (Australia) Web site so that the BIOS version is now 5.00. However, Toshiba has not last updated BIOS for this model since February 2007 and as a result that my fan is constantly making noise whenever I use the computer (and turn off at all).

    The fan sometimes slows down depending on the load of computer work, but is not completely silent and on and blowing out it was Windows XP. In addition, the underside of my computer is not hot as it was on Windows XP, instead the breath fan and no heat is felt on the underside of the laptop. I also changed the settings in the Toshiba Power Saver under power options in Windows Vista, and this does not seem to make a difference in noise levels.

    I was wondering if someone could help me with this problem and if anyone knows a BIOS update or if Toshiba will provide a? Because, in all the teething problems, that I had in the upgrade to Vista, it is the only question that I left to correct.

    Kind regards
    -Adrian.

    Hello Adrian

    Either a little more realistic and objective s. You have a designed for Windows XP Home edition laptop and now you use the new operating system. I recommend getting some info on Vista and the first interesting info is that Vista uses more resources than the old Windows XP Home edition. More resources mean more pressure on the CPU and other hardware components. The result of higher performance is more heat.

    To protect the equipment sensors send information on fan/fans to run and cool the material. So, for me, it's the logical result after installation of Vista. I don't understand why you need this BIOS update should fix this.

    BIOS update is designed to install Vista and use of different Toshiba has also designed tools and utilities. I assume that the physical protection is high priority and why to change the values of the fans for Toshiba and may damage the material.

    Anyway, if you have installed all try them Toshiba tools use different power plan. For example, use the balanced power plan and define the method to the minimum level of cooling.

    On my laptop preinstalled Vista he reduced the activity of fan cooling but the performance is still good and I can work without any problems.

    Good bye
