Set the level of a laptop for Windows 8 from a Windows 7 have a performance difference that buying a laptop with Windows 8 pre - install?

OK, so I was about to buy a laptop, I really wanted to for the last few months. But yesterday, my father told me about windows 8 and that it would be better to wait until it comes out to get a laptop with her already pre-installed. I found the offer of $15.00 for the upgrade to windows 8, plus I also get the great back to school discounts. My father always tells me that it is much better to do it with it already installed... -Is this worth the wait?

Hello

I would recommend you take advantage of the offer of discounts for Windows 8.

Normally, it would be better to buy a computer with the latest version of Windows pre-installed because the computer could be certified to run the pre-installed operationg system.

However, in this case, all the computers that are available with the upgrade of $15 are all designed to run the final version of Windows 8.

  • Not enough resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA

    I have a cluster of vSphere based 5.0 based on ESXi 5 knots 2.

    When I try to start a virtual machine, I get an error saying that there is "insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for vSphere HA.

    If I turn off an another VM the problem disappears and I can turn on my VM.

    If I try to turn on the virtual machine, I have already turned off, I get the error again.

    It seems obvious that there is a lack resources or some setting is misconfigured, but even after reading the forums and manuals, I am unable to locate the critical resource or parameter that is not correct.

    Based on my experience or vSphere server and ESXi servers are overloaded.

    I have an another similar cluster of hosting a larger number of virtual machines with no similar problem.

    This performance counter and this setting should check to identify the bottleneck?

    Concerning

    Marius

    To check reservations for virtual machines, I would select the Cluster in your vCenter inventory, then select the resources"" tab.  Which displays the child objects of the bunch (VMs, Resource Pools, vApps).  There you can watch settings of CPU resources and memory.  You'll want to watch the column of "Reserves".

    To find the size of the slot and places available, look at the tab "Summary" of your cluster.  There is a tile marked "vSphere HA.  In this mosaic, there will be a link for "Advanced Runtime Info" which will open a new window with the location information.

    When the Admission AP policy is set to "Number of failures of host cluster will tolerate", HA has a very pessimistic view of your resources, since it must be able to handle all the possibilities.

    Another option would be to change the admission control strategy in settings of Cluster HA to "percentage of resources reserved for failover.  It reserves a part of the resources for use by HA in the case of a failover, rather than trying to calculate the size of the individual virtual machines.  With a 2 cluster nodes, I think it a relatively safe bet to set these values to 50%, as your worst case scenario HA would be losing a single host on 2.

  • Is there a way to set the audio output in mono in Windows 7?

    I have a set of speakers, but one of the speakers is broken, so for now if I have a stereo song I get only half of the music. Is it possible to set the sound output in mono on Windows 7 so I can listen to the stereo songs via a speaker? I'd rather do than buy a new set of speakers.

    Hi Jamsoup,

    I would like to inform you that, down from sound to mono-stereo sampling is not possible, since stereo sound is a sound standard setting.

    Stereo speakers are designed to produce a sound to both speakers and there is no option to change the settings to use as mono.

    I also suggest that you contact the speaker manufacturer or the manufacturer of the computer for assistance on this issue.

  • Are there drivers for the recorder sony icd-bp150 for windows 7

    Are there drivers for the recorder sony icd-bp150 for windows 7? I can't recorder to work with the current drivers of dvr3. It works on XP machines but not my computer windows 7...

    Hello sconley3.

    I did some further research and found that, if the worm Software Digital Voice Editor 3.3 is compatible with Windows 7 OS, the recorder itself is not compatible with Windows 7 OS.

    However, you can try to transfer the files from the recorder to a computer with Windows 7 OS installed in it, using the stereo mini plug cable.
    Plug one end of the cable to the headphone jack of the recorder mini stereo jack.
    Plug the other end of the cable to the Microphone Jack on the computer.

    You can follow the link below to transfer files using mini cable plug.

  • How to set the property node maximum xscale for several scale XY Chart

    Hello

    I use a graph XY with three X axis and three scales of axis Y to draw the three sets of data. This works well.

    What I do now is to set the Xscale.Maximum property node for one of the x-axis (the other two autoscale). If I click right in the (Create Blockdiagram; Node property; X scale; Maximum) I can not choose what x-axis I want to put the Maximum for.

    So my question: how to select a specific axis allows you to set the XScale.Maximum property node when having several axes?

    Thank you for your help, any suggestions are appreciated!

    Hello

    After some more research and experimentation, I found that using the scale property X Active I can determine/set for which the XScale.Maximum Xscale is used.

    This solved my problem.

    I hope someone else can save themselves a few hours with this thread!

  • Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

    No Option to install repair - SAD

    Hello

    Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

    I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

    As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

    Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

    -Todd w.

    "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

    «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

    As Todd, is the answer.

    "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

    Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

    Hello

    OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

    An OEM license is not transferable.

    And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

    There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

    You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.

    See you soon.
