Satellite M70 - I want to upgrade to Vista

Hello.

Three days before I seek assistance and advice in this thread if I upgrade a Satellite M70 (PSM71) of XP - Pro to Vista.
Thanks for the advice coming from Luke_1 & Eldorado I could do my studies before the upgrade.

Today I was searching Internet and I found this page:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/tsb7201sk002hr01.htm

This page tell me that my computer is not supported to be upgraded from Toshiba.

So, what can I do?
Thank you.

Hello!

Why start a new thread?

However, the Satellite M70 (PSM70) is ranked on the site of Toshiba notebook compatible for an upgrade to Vista.
The PSM71 is similar to the PSM70 and on the site of Toshiba, that I can find all the drivers for Vista you need.

So you can upgrade it to Vista.

Good bye

  • Satellite 1000-Z2: want to upgrade the RAM

    I have the above model, but I can't find any information on this subject on the Toshiba site. I want to upgrade the RAM, but the documentation with the machine that was purchased from PC World in 2001 does not contain details of the speed or the type of RAM to use.

    Can anyone help please?

    Hi George,.

    I think the Satellite 1000 came with two memory slots and was initially equipped with 256 MB of RAM. It is expandable to 512 MB total RAM.

  • I have two old desktop computers running Windows XP and want to upgrade to Vista

    I tried the windows 7 Advisor and he said I'm going to need a professional installation.  Just trying to see if I can optimize these to give to a women's shelter.  I want to upgrade, but don't have to.  Is there any where that I can at least a scanner to check if vista is compatible?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Vista Upgrade Advisor is no longer available.

    That's the only advice we can give you to see if you can upgrade to Vista:

    «Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Vista drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.»

    If not available, Vista will not properly work for you. »

    "System requirements for Windows Vista"

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/919183

    But the minimum requirements of Microsoft are just that, minimum.

    To begin, I would double the recommended amount of RAM for a machine that works efficiently and at a reasonable speed.

    See you soon.

  • You want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional?

    I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

    You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

    If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

    What Upgrade Options are available for Windows 7?
    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

  • Satellite M70-151 - how to upgrade the display driver?

    Hello

    as the topic says I ran out of options to update my graphics card Radeon X 700 on my laptop...

    I tried to see here: http://de.nodevice.com/driver/Mobility_Radeon_X700/get44199.html
    After installation, I learned that he had to go on the manufacturer's site to get my drivers

    So I ended up here: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=DE
    Still no idea who was the Radeon X 700 driver, I tried every update... Most did not anyway, and when I check my graphics card driver put in says that my current driver was 5 years old.

    Taking advantage of the distraction of the online games I noticed that went it a few seconds sometimes. Most people recommend that you update all my drivers, but it seems more difficult than I imagined

    So please, help me find the right link to update my graphics card! To help speed things up a bit, I added my DxDiag report.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Sarahbella,

    You can download the driver on the Toshiba site. Therefore, check the link you suggested and look for your model of laptop. As far as I know Satellite M70 151 belongs to the series of PSM71E, to look for with these elements:

    Laptop > Satellite > Satellite M Series > Satellite M70 (PSM71)

    Download the driver and run the setup.exe file.

    Check this box!

  • Satellite M70: Drivers wanted

    I can´t find the drivers for the Satellite M70 here on this home page.
    Correct this as soon as possible.

    Hello

    AFAIK the M70 is a new unit. In this case, all the drivers on the utility CD & delivered tools are up-to-date.
    I think that if new updates are available you will find them on the Web site.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A200 - 1 GB: after upgrade to Vista Ultimate-> issues

    Hello

    I upgraded my Vista ultimate laptop, but I found a lot of problem:
    1 - the Fn + F1, F2,... no longer work.
    2 - get a blue screen,

    So I tried to do a clean install of vista ultimate, but I had no more problems!
    for example:
    "When you try to install the utilities equipment & password, I get a message" incorrect series.

    The media player shortcut key do not work
    If I install the toshiba value-added, the Fn + f1, f2... no longer work.
    In addition, no bluetouth software, no card Flash, no test available in the diag...
    and also, the BLUE SCREEN.

    I don't know if anyone can help me and thak you

    Baker

    Hello

    already made an update of the BIOS? It would be useful, maybe it s just because the BIOS does not correctly handle the Ultimate. What drivers did you download?

    It s a bit tricky, but I think that if you reinstall, and then put the drivers on it, it should work. Don't forget: Vista Ultimate needs a lot of resources and a bunch of useless stuff that can cause the machine does not properly.

  • Satellite A215 no sound after upgrade to Vista o Win XP Pro

    Hi all

    I bought Toshiba notebook A215 series with Vista for 2 months. I have upgraded to Windows XP pro yesterday, everyhing looks ok but no sound. I checked the management of the material for the sound card, it seems normal.

    Someone knows this problem?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I noticed very strange and different problems after downgrade to XP.
    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.
    To do this, use this MS page:

  • Want to upgrade hp vista 32 home premium... for vista 64 - Hp pavilion dv9628nr

    64-bit (vista) operating system is the way to go for me on this system, but I can do? And there at - it falls from the sky

    inherent with vista 64 or should I give up vista 64 and windows 7 64 with this laptop to do?

    DV9628NR is fully able to support WIndows Vista 64-bit. You can go ahead and do a fresh install of Windows Vista 64-bit on your system. You can not move from 32-bit to 64-bit because of the difference in the architecture of the operating system.

    In addition, instead of Windows Vista 64-bit, you can even try Windows 7 64 bit. Here is the Internet link that has the Windows 7 installation guide:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/Windows-7-Upgrade-Guide-for-dv6000-dv9000-models/td-p/179816

    Hello

    I found the info you can use batteries to follow: PA3457U-1BAS (8cell) and PA3457U-1BRS (8cell). I don't l? t find the info that you can use better. The battery 8 cells is probably the best you can have.

    As far as I know your device must be supplied with DVD-super multi drive and I don? t know what you mean with best. Is it not enough?

    RAM can expand and you can use DDR2 400/533 512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51) and DDR2 400/533 module 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G). Maximum RAM for this device is 2 GB.

    Other info you can get from your local dealer.

  • The upgrade to Vista on Satellite M70

    Hi all

    Recently I bought windows vista Ultimate edition. I have a satellite M70 that was the sentence compatible vista under the designed for xp sticker/hologram.

    I ran a compatibility test that said Vista Home Basic with my equipment is the recommended package!

    I don't have that ultimate. I read views on the performance of vista ultimate, with people who use the same or similar configuration such as myself.

    IM is really after some clarifications in the whole of the process and whether or not its recommended to install vista at all!

    Only, I have basic computer knowledge, but have heard of people who speak a "second partitions" as precautions. More info on it would be also great.

    Any comments would be great, thanks in advance

    Dave

    P.S.: I have 512 RAM, 1.7 ghz processor. Its processor intel centrino. 60 GB hard drive!

    Hello

    I tried Vista Ultimate on my M70 capable non-Vista and it works fine but extremely slow. My M70 only has 512 MB of RAM, and I think less than 1 GB of RAM there is no sense to install and use Vista.

    OS works well. All hardware components are recognized correctly except SD card but I do not have much talk (not so important to me).

    On the sheet music, I can only say that it is always recommended to create two partitions. For the operating system itself and the other for recording data. If you have problems to create two partitions, please write again.

  • Satellite M70-131 - I want to add more RAM

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M70-131
    Part number: PSM70E-01500RAR

    I want to add more RAM, because I know you have to check three points to buy a new:
    -How can I add?
    -The type of RAM?
    -The number of the BIOS or BUS?

    I'm not sure about the third point, I know that I can add to 2G, and the type of RAM is DDR2.
    But if I have the right point, how can I check the number (BIOS or BUS)? Because I tried to add one, but did ' t work!

    Help me please
    Thnx 4 all

    Hello!

    The Satellite M70-131 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM and you have already said you need DDR2 RAM.
    Specification for RAM is DDR2 400/533 and you can add two modules with 1 GB of capacity of each module. The reference is PA3411U-1M1G.

    What do you mean with many BUS and BIOS? This has nothing to do with an upgrade of RAM.
