• Satellite P840: How to create the secure boot with UEFI Bios recovery disk

  Hello

  I have laptop P840 that came pre-installed with Windows 8, which I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro.
  I then updated to Windows Pro 8.1 by Windows store. Please notify:

  1. how to create a DVD repair or start for windows 8.1 pro with UEFI Bios and boot secured.

  2. I created a USB recovery using the control panel in Windows Pro 8.1. It starts OK. It will be the same as that I've created using the Toshiba Media recovery creator or will it drivers Windows Pro 8.1?

  3. check partitions with disk management, then 3 (450MO, 350 MB and GB 10.90) recovery partitions, 1 EFI system partition and 2 primary (C: programs) and D: for data. I created the recovery DVD and USB 2 disks. Can I remove the 3 recovery partitions?

  Your help will be very appreciated.

  > 1. How to create a DVD repair or start for windows 8.1 pro with UEFI Bios and boot secured.
  To be able to boot from sources other than the drive HARD internal, the boot mode must be set to the CSM and secure boot must be disabled!

  > 2. I created a USB recovery using the control panel in Windows Pro 8.1. It starts OK. It will be the same as that I've created using the Toshiba Media recovery creator or will it drivers Windows Pro 8.1?

  Your laptop has been preloaded with Win 8. Right? For example, the USB flash stick memory you just use the Toshiba Recovery media creator contains the Image of Toshiba with Windows 8. Don t mix this Toshiba image with the image that can be created using Microsoft's own backup and restore function. Both are different pictures!

  > 3. Check it with disk management, then 3 (450MO, 350 MB and GB 10.90) recovery partitions, 1 EFI system partition and 2 partitions primary (C: programs) and D: for data. I created the recovery DVD and USB 2 disks. Can I remove the 3 recovery partitions?

  The last partition contains the files on HARD drive recovery. Usually this partition will be created again when you use the Toshiba Recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings. So in the case where you n t need this files or the partition, you can delete

• Clean install Windows 7 with UEFI in dv6-7215nr

  Hi, I would like to do a clean install of my HP dv6-7215nr Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x 64 envy laptop.

  To this end, I have 3 questions to solve some installation issues.

  1. What are the steps to clean install Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise intact in UEFI mode?

  I tried to install Win 7 after the pre-requisites following:

  (a) not partitioned 200 GB free space on the disk (only 1 physical disk)

  (b) already installed Windows 8 files with UEFI

  (c) UEFI enabled

  (d) heritage disabled startup

  (e) secure boot disabled

  When I Boot in UEFI of CD/DVD, I can't switch to the Windows startup screen, it just hangs. What I am doing wrong? Is there any other prerequisites that I don't know?

  I tried to install UEFI with Legacy enabled Boot, and I installed win7 but I can't disable Legacy new Boot because Win7 boot and I want only the UEFI Boot and need for inheritance disabled.

  2. where can I download drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop?

  I found this topic:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/HP-envy-DV6-7210ei-downgrade-fr...

  They point to these drivers

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us & dlc = in & lc = in & product = 5273735 & task = &

  I think I could use these drivers, but I need just in case where. I guess they should work as the product names are roughly similar (with mine).

  3. is it possible to Secure Boot with Windows 7 SP1?

  I have no research on this so far.

  Thanks for the help that someone in the community can give to me, it is not important all the problems that I have set in I can still do research on questions 2 and 3 and help others with my research if I can do it before a response. Any info you can give me will be too great.

  (1) ' secure Boot' must be DISABLED and 'Legacy Support' must be ENABLED to install Windows 7 and many other older operating systems. The bootable media must support UEFI boot to install on a GPT-partitioned drive.

  You let people with DISABILITIES 'Secure Boot' (and 'Legacy Support' ENABLED) once you have installed Windows 7. Changing these options causes Windows 7 to start is no longer.

  (2) the Windows 7 drivers on the CTO Entertainment Notebook PC drivers HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 page you referenced, will work on your computer.

  (3) it is not possible to install or use Windows 7 with "Secure Boot" ACTIVE.

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' on the page parameters below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post to the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (just the text string will do) to these devices as shown in the example below.

  

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Upgrade VGA for the new office. Should I go with HDMI or DVI?

  I have a 2 years old HP Pavilion (500-214) and using VGA.

  However, I'm considering a new HP Envy which has HDMI.

  I have VGA wall plates on the floor in my home office so son do not appear on the carpet.

  While this HP Envy has HDMI only, other computer brands use DVI.  Because I don't want to redo the wiring again, should I go with DVI or HDMI?

  What do you think?  I don't know what to do.  Please let me know.

  Thank you.

  Both DVI and HDMI are digital which will give you much better resolution than VGA.  HDMI has both audio and video in the same connectors.  That's the big advantage of HDMI.  Here's a guide that will give you a good comparison of them.  This way you can make the best decision for you.

• Install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with UEFI mode

  Hello world! So I'm here to talk about the installation of Windows 7 for the UEFI mode and I know a lot of people said it stucks on "Starting Windows" during installation, but I have a few question that my opinion:

  1. If a hard disk has come to Windows 8/8.1 with OEM or retail as installed, it should disable Secure Boot?

  2. If Windows 7 it remains stuck, the solution most is all in a hard drive format after Windows 8/8.1 backup partition and install Windows 7 with UEFI without getting stuck? I need to install it with TPG...

  Hope will understand. ;-)

  Secure boot is integrated in the firmware, not the installation hard disk.

  You can just boot from the installation media and format the hard drive.

• When installing the CS6 Apps through a CC subscription, what should I do with my old CS4 application

  When installing the CS6 Apps via creative cloud subscription, what should I do with my old CS4 applications always in my Apps folder?

  After installing my first 2, AI, ID, I check the folder of the Application and the newly installed CS6 both my older versions of CS4 for each application are in the folder.

  I just throw away the CS4 versions? If so, all my data created files will remain intact?

  Someone please reply and help, instead, look just an appearing many points of view, show. Thank you!

  Uninstall CS4 versions properly using the uninstall programs that come with them (aliases are in each of the directories of the apps). In addition, it works as it should - newer versions always leave former in place. If you will be able to open all your files CS4 in CS6 we do not know - Yes, newer versions should open older files, but you could use specific things that limit compatibility as some plug-ins which would need to be upgraded for CS6 as well. For this exact reason, you can keep CS4 around for a little longer, until you can be sure...

  Can someone help me? I am trying to download iMovie which normally should be free with other Apple applications, but for full reason he always says that I have to pay for it. And I Shen a brand-new iPhone updated to IOS 9 5s. Can someone give me advice on what to do?

  iMovie and iLife and iworks Apps are free with the purchase of a new device.

  Since Apple is no longer selling the iPhone 5 s, she cannot be considered more for free apps.

  However, just to be safe, disconnect you from the iTunes and App Stores-> Apple ID in the settings on the new iPhone 5 s, then reset the iPhone in now the home and power buttons together for 10 to 15 seconds. Let the iPhone reboot and then sign in with your Apple ID in iTunes and the App Store and try to get the Apps again.

  Hi Dominic,

  Are you able to get into BIOS to make changes?

  If so, you can try to reset the default settings of the BIOS and check.

  NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  You can also try to remove all external usb devices that can be connected to the system and start-up and see if the system boots.
