Hey.

I just bought a new lenovo g50-80.

It comes with windows 8. Should I upgrade to windows 10?

How were your experiences with it?

Thank you

Dear Jorge,

Next to the charge socket you will find the Novo button, which will give you the ability to recover your windows if there is a problem.

    If you have Windows XP, Windows 8 might be bit overwhelming, though, you can familiarise yourself with it. Personally, I'd go with Windows 7 If you can get it.

    That's right, you will get support from the manufacturer, because its their equipment. In addition, you can get support here in the forums.

    Yes, you will have 90 days of free technical support through Microsoft.

  • If I have windows vista on a computer, can I turn it off, buy a new one and get the upgrade to windows 7 on the computer?

    I have windows vista (32-bit), so if I sell it for scrap, but keep the license, buy a new computer, install windows 7 (64-bit) by using the upgrade to windows? When I say upgrade I'm talking about the updated version of windows Home premium, i.e. There is a full and then there is the upgrade (only for those who have vista or xp). I'm not worried about any problem of hardware, or drivers or any other problem, just strictly issues of software operating system (between the license). Please just say yes or no and explain if necissary. Thank you.

    No, you can't sell the license and keep it at the same time. In addition, the Windows 7 upgrade depends on a license previous qualification. If you use Vista as a qualifying product, it becomes an integral part of the license and is not transferable to another computer.

    Since the Windows end user license agreement:

    17. TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY. You can transfer the software directly to a not third parties only with the licensed computer. The transfer must include the software and the certificate of Authenticity label. You can't keep all copies of the software or any earlier version. Before any transfer authorized, the other party must accept that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the software.

  • Envy 17 t: How do factory reset on a new HD to Win8 after upgrade to Win 8.1?

    Sorry in advance for the confusing explanation!
    My hard drive recently started to crash my laptop and after a few searches using the diagnostics in the bios, I realized that it was defective. I thought I was lucky cause I made a recovery from USB, however, I did after my PC upgraded to Windows factory installed Windows 8 8.1! The upgrade was in a day or two after, I started to use my laptop and I do not do the recovery disk before upgrading!
    Now that I have installed my new HD and USB to load Windows 8.1, Windows asks me to activate Windows! Apparently if you install 8.1 Windows from a recovery disk on a PC provided with Windows 8, you need to activate it!
    So, the answer is that I somehow instal Windows 8 on my laptop on the new hard drive and then upgrade to Windows 8.1! Apparently, if you make a recovery 8.1 on a PC USB disk that has been upgraded from Win8, then a version of win8 is included on the DISC of RECOVERY USB. I can't find any way to install Win8 on my new drive hard using the recovery USB disk that I created after I updated my PC! There is no help anywhere about this problem, a nice person can you please help?
    I still have my original hard drive with partition recovery still on it, and although this hard drive crash the laptop regularly, I still might be able to make some kind of recovery USB or DVD using, if only someone could kindly help me to do so.
    I have to install two hard drives in laptop but the cable and caddy to do this is VERY expensive here in the United Kingdom and it will take a few weeks to get from the United States. Despite this, I really don't know what to do even if I had two drives connected to the laptop at the same time!
    Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me.

    Hello
    Just as an update...
    If you buy a PC with an operating system already installed on it and it upgrades before making a recovery media, you can recover to the upgraded operating system because windows will ask you for the key. If like me, you did not receive a key, just the operating system on a hard disk partition, and if that hard drive crashes, you're completely banjaxed! I bought my laptop HP in the United States, the United Kingdom HP, although very useful, would not give me a recovery media for my PC because it was American and HP in the United States would not be me send them because they are not allowed to send overseas. In the end, I had to call Microsoft and literally had this were begging for almost 2 hours, and after making me literally try every little thing that I had already tried several times by myself, they basically told me that I had to buy a key that would cost me about £200 for Windows complete 10! Finally, after a lot of explanations, they really gave me 'once only' keys for win10, so I now have a fully functional win10 BONE, but if something should go wrong again, I have to pay to buy a new. Fair enough, I suppose, a little warning to those of you who bought a computer laptop win 8 and immediately improved to win8.1, they will say that win 8 will appear on your media recovery as well as 8.1, but my media was only 8.1 victory! Worthless, unless you have a fully functional key!

  • What is the correct recovery process once upgraded to Windows 10? (No OneKey Recovery)

    I have a cell phone Z50-70 which is preinstalled with Windows 8.1. It is an OEM version, with the product key that is stored in the Bios. This is an installation of UEFI.

    The vehicle currently has OneKey recovery installed, which, if I understand well (I've not used actually still), allows you to recover from a hard disk recovery partition. This is not a "fresh" Windows 8.1, but an image provided by Lenovo that take back you to the State the laptop was bought originally (will have all software Lenovo and preinstalled drivers).

    According to the official upgrade guide Lenovo, before performing the upgrade of Windows 10, we should uninstall basically all software from Lenovo, including OneKey recovery and it won't work in Windows 10.

    Issues related to the:

    1. What is the correct process to recover the system from Windows 10 if something goes wrong? I think that Windows 10 integrates a feature "Reboot your computer" in the settings which I suppose is what we are supposed to use. It would take me to:

    a. a completely new install Windows 10?

    b. a created image during the upgrade from 8.1 to 10, containing all my files etc. when performing the upgrade?

    c. or he would use the recovery partition from Lenovo (which would have used OneKey Recovery if it was compatible) and take me back to 8.1 for Windows?

    (d) another thing?

    2. once I did the upgrade and Windows 10 has successfully activated, I think I could create a bootable with ISO of Windows 10, inside boot media and install a completely new install of Windows 10 and activate it. Theoretically, I could make as many fresh installs from the boot media I want, as long as initially, I did the upgrade (not a clean install), and the hardware of the laptop does not change. Is this correct?

    2A. If, therefore, during the first boot media clean installation process, I'd be sure compeletly remove the Lenovo recovery partition entirely and go from there, rely on 'Reset your PC' feature of Windows 10? Could I could use even just reinstall Windows boot again media 10 as a way to recover? If I understand correctly, it is not absurd to keep recovery partition it if it can not be used within Windows 10.

    I think I had a desktop PC ordinary with a retail version of Windows, then everything above would be fine. The complications added here are that 1. I have no product key Windows 8.1 (alll is managed by the BIOS) and 2. I have no recovery disk. I want to make sure that I understand everything completely before moving, and potentially do a clean installation using bootable media, so that I don't end up ruin something and end up with either a laptop I can not recover, a Windows installation that is not enabled.

    Thank you.

    Update for anyone of another reading:

    I just uninstall OneKey recovery on my installation of Windows 8.1 for the upgrade. While Windows is concerned, OneKey Recovery has been completely removed.

    The good news is that I then shut down the laptop, you press the novo button, selected "System Recovery" and I was always greeted with OneKey recovery program where I could choose to restore from original image, or a custom image. So I guess that once I have upgraded to Windows 10, I'll always have the option to restore to the factory Windows 8.1 if I ever need/want to.

    The confusion seems to be that OneKey recovery software is actually two separate software:

    1 OneKey Recovery #1 is installed in the hidden recovery partition which is responsible to perform a system restore from the image of your choice - either the image of plant or a custom image created by #2 OneKey recovery software. OneKey Recovery Software #1 is still accessible via the Novo button.

    2 OneKey Recovery #2 is installed on the Windows 8.1 installation, which is responsible for the creation of custom system images. You can also choose to restore the system from here, but AFAIK, it just restarts the computer and OneKey #1 software, which allows you to recover expenses. OneKey Recovery #2 is the software Lenovo told us to uninstall it before Windows 10. However, uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 let software OneKey Recovery tact #1.

    As far as I know, this means that the uninstall OneKey Recovery #2 mean that we lose the ability to create custom system images, but we reserve the option to restore from a system image.

    Can anyone confirm that I understood, and that what I said above is indeed the case?

    I'm still a little uncertain about what Windows built tens in the willingness to ' PC ' do well - that it will use the Lenovo recovery partition or run a 10 Windows Installer Clean up.

  • Should I leave a new Windows 7 PC, or brave upgrade to Windows 8?

    I got a new PC for making development here at work.  It's a big office.  He's still in the box.  This is to replace my current Windows 7 Ultimate computer.  I wonder if it might be a good idea to upgrade to Windows 8; After all what will be published later this week.  The upgrade path, if I understand correctly, Windows 7 Ultimate is Windows 8 Pro or maybe Windows 8 Enterprise.  (I work in an Active Directory domain, even if the field is a bit old.  It's ad on Windows 2003 R2 servers.  However, perhaps that will change in the next year or two).  A big worry I did installing our applications.  We have multiple line of business applications, we wrote that must be installed.  In my local .NET, a guy from user group reported that install Windows 8 Pro, for him, was a disaster.  He had Visual Studio 2012 installed while it was a Windows 7 machine, now he can't use VS 2012.  I need to use VS 2005, VS 2008 and VS 2010, and if all goes well, we'll move to VS 2012.  And there are other applications, we need (Crystal, SQL Server Developer Edition, SQL Server Express, etc.)  I thought that would be nice, but then I heard people in my saying local group that it won't work, you need to get all apps from the store of Windows even if you run in desktop mode, because you can not install anything at all in desktop mode, etc.  I get a lot of mixed messages here and don't know who or what to believe.

    First of all, they are incorrect. You don't have to install applications on the Store. It is only in the edition of RT (ARM powered tablets). With versions of Windows 8 Pro/Enterprise, the office is fully functional, and all existing applications should work with it. If it works in Windows 7, 99.99% sure it will work in Windows 8. You can install programs as you could before using the desktop computer, and they will behave as they did in Windows 7.

  • Hello! I have already booked for upgrade of Windows 10 and my unit is Toshiba Satellite C850D and currently using Windows 7. What should I considerdo before you install the new Windows 10?

    I'm afraid that all my files on disk: D will disappear.  And how do I know that my existing drivers and programs are compatible with windows 10?

    Hi JC Nero,.

    Windows 10 being an upgrade of your existing operating system, it would be absolutely not delete or edit your files, settings, programs, etc. Your PC after the upgrade to windows 10 would be same.
    However if you choose a clean installation, the contents of your drive where is installed earlier OS might be deleted if you format.

    The answer to your question is given by Windows 10 App itself. To check compatibility:

    • Open Windows 10 booking App.
    • at the top left, click on the Menu (3 vertical lines)
    • Click on the control of your PC.
    • It will show if there are problems with compatibility.

    It will be useful.

  • New Lenovo Ideapad Z710 friend refuses to install the touchpad driver.

    A few weeks ago my friend bought new a laptop Lenovo Ideapad Z710 pre-installed with Win8. I "upgraded" to Windows 7 for him, as none of us can handle the new OS. Usually, I have no trouble to reinstall the drivers after installing a new OS, but for some reason that its touchpad driver does NOT install.

    I use the official driver for his computer, apparently is a synaptics driver and it says it should work completely fine with Windows 7, but when I try to run the installation, I get the error "Synaptics Device Not Found!"

    There are a few issues that I believe are related to the driver not being installed that can tell you something. When he closes the lid of the laptop and open it again, the mouse jumps over the screen constantly, and he can't use the computer until it restarts. In addition, he cannot turn his touchpad, which I suppose is a function that comes with the driver.

    Any help or contribution is greatly appreciated, if you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.

    Thanks again,
    -Tyler

    Are you sure the touchpad isn't a Synaptics touchpad ElanTech? If ElanTech, try to uninstall the currently installed driver. Then install the driver from the website. During the installation of the driver not to put a check mark in the box that says driver Synaptics install now.
