• Permutation of HARD, SSD, disc using HP recovery for new laptop support

  Hi, I'm trying swap at the disk of 500 GB of a whole new HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 t-1100 to a 120 GB SSD.

  Day 1 to have the laptop, I went through the creative process of recovery on a USB media.

  The problem is, I can't use it.  The new SSD seems to be recognized very well.  The recovery process makes it far enough - at least far enough to restart several times with screens of Windows 8.

  But this ultimatly is not finished and working.  I talked with a tech support on this issue, and told him that I could not do this because the SSD, I was trying to 'restore' to was smaller than my drive of the moose.  His advice was for me to buy a retail business / version of generator in the system of the operating system to be able to "install it" myself.

  Is this good?  Is there a better way to do it other than to buy a second copy of an OS that I have rights to use on this computer?

  I love the material, but I feel quite frustrated with the software...

  I think it would be better if spend you the same amount of $$ and get the software OEM W8.

  You first need to confirm which version of W8, you have on your PC, and you can do it only with the original hard drive installed.  As I posted above, you will need to install the OEM version of the software that corresponds to the product key encoded.

  Software OEM 64 bit standard is $ 99.00

  Bit Pro OEM 84 software is $139.99

  I'm almost certain that you will run in rough seas, trying to upgrade to W8 Pro using any type of installation media.

  Look at your current operating system... is there an option to make that "Anytime upgrade" as you can with W7?

  I think it's the only way you can get W8 Pro on the machine.

  I sympathize with you, but that's all I can do.

  It seems that new PC is really "locked" until you can do about the operating system.

• HP 15-p163nr: Win 7 drivers for new laptop

  Hello.

  I live and work in Russia and I got a laptop hp model 15-p163nr. There is no BONE, just without BACK.

  I bought separately from Windows 7 Professional 64 bit English version because locally they provide only the Russian version.

  Windows 7 Pro has been installed and working properly.

  I can't install Win 8.1 because several programs developed by my company only run on Win7 OS.

  I think that more drivers are absent because, in the "Device Manager", have all below items on the yellow triangle:

  WiFi,

  Bluetooth,

  3D video controller,

  Ethernet controller,

  network controller,

  PCI device,

  PCI Simple Communication controller,

  SM Bus controller,

  USB controller

  Can you help me please to find the correct drivers to install?

  Thanks a lot for your kind support.

  Best regards

  DV

  Hello:

  You should be able to use the W7 x 64 drivers and this model on your software.  Do not use the BIOS or firmware files.

  http://h22207.www2.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-P000-notebook-PC-series/6936226/model/7174371

  To install the graphics, you must:

  1. install the Intel Chipset Installation Utility driver and reboot.

  2. install the Intel HD graphics driver and restart.

  3. install nVidia HD graphic driver and restart.

  Needs the Realtek card reader driver PCI device

  Ethernet controller requires the Realtek LAN driver

  Comms Simple PCI controller needs the driver Intel Management Engine Interface

  Video controller SM Bus and 3 D will be installed when you follow the instructions to install the graphics drivers.

  USB3 controller needs the driver Intel USB3 Host Controller.

  I can give you the link to the drivers wifi and bluetooth if you follow the steps below to display the ID of the equipment for the wireless card, so I can understand what model laptop wireless card has...

  To find the hardware ID, go to Device Manager and click on the device called network controller.

  Then click on the Details tab in the upper part of the window network controller.

  Now, you see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

  On this list and select the second element (Hardware ID).

  After the first string of characters you see in the window.

• Is anyway to uninstall p/shop frrom my old laptop which was damaged and I cannot retrieve information and re - install on my new laptop? Thank you

  I already bought p/shop and installed on my old laptop.

  It was badly damaged and I can't retrieve anything either of him without paying a fortune for a society trying to open it.

  Is there anyway I can get p/shop uninstalled and reinstall t on my new laptop?

  The old laptop is completely kaput - is yet to turn on?

  Thank you

  So I wouldn't worry even on this. Just go ahead and install it on the computer. You are allowed to install on two computers. After that, you need to contact Adobe to Deauthorize all computers, then you can authorize the new computer. But it's for all versions before CC. With CC, you will get a message that you are trying to install on more than two computers and will ask you if you want to disconnect all computers. This requires your username and password, then only you can do. Then you can connect to the new computer.

• For 2 weeks, I could not use sync & it is said that the server maintenance is underway will automatically resume; need to transfer the story of a new laptop

  For about 2 weeks, I've been unable to use sync. I get a message that says the server maintenance is underway and will automatically resume. How long will the interview last? I have urgent need to transfer my story to a new laptop and the one I'm currently back. My deadline is tomorrow that I have run out of time to complete this process

  In case you can not Sync works for you before you need to activate in this old laptop, you must backup your Firefox data to a USB key or other support.

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/back-and-restore-information-Firefox-profiles

  When it comes to your bookmarks on this old laptop, you must export your bookmarks to an HTML file so that you have a file that can be imported and merged with the all new bookmarks that you may be saved on the new laptop.

• New for synchronization, I have set up the sync account in my new laptop and linked to my main computer; now worry Sync will eliminate information on the primary computer. What should I do?

  Knowing nothing about the sync but enthusiastic about its benefits, I followed the directions for the implementation of a synchronization account in my new laptop. Then I realized that I should start with my main computer that has all the data I want to transfer to the new. However, Firefox won't let me set up the sync account in my main computer because it says I already have an account. He gave me a code to connect the main computer to the new, and I did. Now I'm afraid to sync for fear that this will eliminate the info in my main computer rather than transfer them to the new. Is this true, and if so, how can I do it again and get Firefox to establish the sync account in my main computer?

  Do not know what is it and how to use it

• How can I export my connections Active and my list of extensions for my new laptop ((I use Firefox 3.6.4 and Win 7 on both))

  I want to just export my list of big "login" as the cause of firefox remembers and automatically type it again I've forgotten many of them! so if I can move this list to my laptop, it would be easier and more to connect on each site and each ant I have joined and join again and lose my Member or I have to request a new password for each site, then go to my email and connect, then change the password to the old It is very bad to do all of my connections!

  and also I can't move my extensions installed with currently option for firefox in my laptop with the same version of firefox "3.6.4" or I need to install again in the laptop?

  Note: both my computer and the new laptop running on Windows 7 Professional OEM and have the same version of firefox

• Suggestions for a new laptop - perhaps Satellite Pro L550-17U

  Didn't know where to ask it is here in the General category.

  I'm looking for a laptop replacement with some specificity. I can get most of them, but the last of them is difficult. If the requirements are:

  17 "screen with a horizontal resolution at least 1600.
  Minimum of 4 GB of RAM (8 would be nice)
  Running Windows 7 64-bit
  Bluetooth

  and finally, the duck:

  Supports Intel VT (Virtualization Technology)

  I thought that the Satellite Pro L550-17U would be OK, but looking at the Intel site, it does not seem that T6570 processor supports VT and it must be supported in the BIOS even when, and nothing in the spec says that it will be.

  Any person able to provide any help please? I would stay with Toshiba, as I had this high reliability of them, but would consider other fact (sorry Toshiba) if it is the only option.

  Roger

  Hello Roger

  In my opinion the most important question is: how much you are willing to pay for the new laptop?
  Satellite L is OK, but don't forget that the L-series is, in general, not the best model of Satellite.

  What objectives do you need new notebook?

• New Ati Mobility Catalayst pilot - why no Support for Toshiba laptops

  The new driver ati mobility report, released 2010-05-26, does not support Toshiba laptops. It is said in the release notes:

  The following books are not supported in this version:
  All laptops launched after this version of the driver
  Portable computers compatible switchable graphics card using the Intel chipsets.
  Toshiba laptops (please contact the OEM driver laptop
  supported for these laptops)

  My question is, Toshiba released a update driver display for their laptops, especially P300-281 PSPCCE Windows 7 32/64-bit?

  I was expecting an ati mobility denounce pilot since I bought this laptop.

  Hello

  > Toshiba Will release an update for their laptops display driver, especially P300-281 PSPCCE Windows 7 32/64-bit?

  I think it's a bad place to ask this question.
  This is a user to user forum and we can only speculate if you want you can call and ask the Toshiba hotline for new...

  But the fact is that Toshiba provides drivers updated the own to protect the graphics chips from damage.
  Other manufacturers don t know what why do

  However, I managed to install the graphics driver from ATi and nVidia page on my two Toshiba laptops.
  I did it in the Device Manager. I used the Advanced Setup that allows you to point to the driver files downloaded from the page from ATI or nVidia

  But note; You can use and test 3rd third-party drivers only at you own risk.

• Satellite A60-142: Tips for the new laptop

  Hi all

  I think to buy a new laptop.
  I currently have a Satellite A60-142 and I only am not too thrilled about this model since the fan makes me crazy... It is constantly running and compared to my old laptop (Satellite 1410-304), it makes a lot of noise...

  So, I want to get a new laptop which is quieter...
  I need basically for email/surfing/Online games/digital still camera.

  Thanks for the tips!
  Ellen

  Hi Ellen

  Well, it is a known issue that, often, the fan works. If you play games or use other applications, the laptop works at high performance and the parts of the device as the processor or graphics card produce a lot of heat. In this case, aeration run also at high speed. It is a simple fact.
  As far as I know, you can try to change the settings of cooling in the power utility.
  In addition it is not easy to say which model of laptop runs more quiet. In the notebooks of high performance fans are bigger and louder by contrast office books are ineffective but easier to cool.

  It's not easy to make a choice

  Good bye

• stream HP for computer laptop-11-r010nr: adding storage on my new laptop to stream

  My OS is 32 or 64. I don't know how to find that. I installed 13 apps on my new laptop computer and the storage is full. I can't download anything. I read that you can add an sd card for additional storage. How do I do that? I managed to get rid of a few applications and do the cleaning disc every day, but nothing really helps. I'm a novice user to internet research and I save pictures of his grandchildren. My apps are news and facebook/Messenger. So far this thing do me much good. Any advice?

  On the left side is a card slot.

  

  You put one of them into the slot of the card. An SD card, you can buy at any office store or a camera.

  

  To insert a card: hold the card face upwards, with the connectors facing the slot, insert the card into the slot and then push the card until it is in place. To remove a card: tap the map it until it comes out

  Once the card into the slot it will appear as a device and you must give it a drive letter, usually D:

  After that, you can move all of the files in your library (documents, photos, etc.) and your download to SD card folder. This indicates how generally:

  http://www.MakeUseOf.com/tag/how-to-increase-storage-space-on-Windows-8-1-devices-with-SD-cards/

  That said Windows 8, but the process is similar to Windows 10. It is also useful:

  And this:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/redirect-folder-new-location#1TC=Windows-7

  When you install an application, many of them will give you the choice where to install during the process. By default, they want to install in C:\program files. Put a folder program files on the SD card and then you can run program installed on the SD card where you are given the option. You can even uninstall some of the ones you already have and reinstall them on SD card.
