Spend 8 to 7, not downgrade to 10.

My wife's cell phone to Windows 8 on it.  How can we get Windows 7 Home premium installed on it.

You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

Return the laptop if it came preloaded with Windows 8 and purchase one already preloaded with Windows 7, they are always available:

  • L450 blocked to 0.77 GHz processor when it is on battery and can not downgrade the BIOS

    Hello

    It seems that the CPU of my L450 is blocked to 0.77 GHz speed when it is running on battery power and no matter how heavy the load, the CPU speed does not fit on the rise, unless I plug in the AC power cord.

    This makes the laptop a bit useless on the battery when you do something time CPU.

    This seems to be the unusual question, based on the quick searchand possibly related to the BIOS. I would try to downgrade from 1.16-> 1.15 or 1.12, but I always get the error "Failed to secure authentication of Flash", after you run the flash program and rebooted (when flashing the BIOS should start).

    I turned off in the BIOS the option 'Prevention of RollBack Secure' settings, so I guess that's not the question for not having to downshift.

    Does anyone else have this problem (with the speed of the CPU limitation or decommissioning of the BIOS)?

    I tried to change options in plan powers the window, like 'The Maximum processor state', 'Intel CCMP energy efficiency Settings. "

    I am running Windows 10, if any relevant information.

    OK, think about it.

    The fix was to disconnect the battery and the power cord for one minute. After that, the CPU is scaling its speed again normally.

    Good thing that this laptop model has a removable battery, I guess...

    I'd like to, I would have thought this before going through the demotion to 8.1 Windows, since the I suspected it could be a bug with Windows 10 or some of its pilots.

    I think that this problem was caused by my recent update BIOS of 1.12 to 1.16, but it's really just a guess.

  • HP 15-g013dx: ports USB 2.0 and devices does not downgrade from Windows 7

  • I want to set how much time they spend on the computer not when. How do I do that? There was a tab, but it didn't.

    I don't see the screen of curfew, I want to set the number of hours that they can use on a daily basis.

    Hi SamenaBrinkman,

    Deadlines for Windows 7 can only set curfew for a configuration of the user as a child under the Family Safety. You are probably referring to the allocation of time; feature that can define how many hours a certain user can consume in a day. Allocation of time is only available on Windows 8. You can check the link below about a few changes on the time of parental control.

  • OpenDialog ScriptUI does not downgrade CS5.5 to CS4

    So here's my most recent bit of fun.  The scripts that I have written have been in CS5.5, but I learned today they need work on CS4.

    Almost everything seems to work except one critical piece. Here is a brief summary of what I'm doing.

    I open a window that has two text boxes and two buttons.  The first button opens a file dialog box that allows the customer to choose where their XML file.  When they select it and click ok, it fills the first text box with the path.

    The second button opens a file dialog box that allows the customer to choose the location of their folder of images, and when they click ok, it fills the second text box with the path.

    Everything works peachy in CS5.5.  But when I tried in CS4, it's what he does.  When I choose a file and click OK, is to fill the text box with the word "file".  When I choose a folder, this is the filling of the second box with the word "file".

    Here are the relevant functions:

    F2.onclick = function()

    {

    TF = File.openDialog ("Select your XML file", "*.xml");

    If (tf! = null)

    {

    E2. Text = tf;

    TF = tf.fsName;

    }

    }

    F3.onclick = function()

    {

    var tfol = new file ("~/My Documents')

    TFO = tfol.selectDlg ("Get Folder");

    If (tfo! = null)

    {

    E3. Text = tfo;

    TFO = tfo.fsName;

    }

    }

    As I said, this work is fine is CS5.5, but I need to know what is different in CS4 and how to operate it.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Add a line to your code:

    If (tf! = null)

    {

    $.writeln (tf.constructor.name);

    E2. Text = tf;

    TF = tf.fsName;

    }

    And run your script from the ESTK when the console is open. You will see that the file is printed. So tf is not a string but a file object. Use e2.text = tf.fsName to display the path name full access for the file or e2.text = tf.name to show that the name. Is the same for the other function, which shows the folder instead of the folder name.

  • BlackBerry smartphones not wiping data and restore the original downgrade OS?

    I have a 8820 with a damaged e-mail folder. I want to wipe the data. I upgraded to OS 4.5. I want to assure you that the wiping and restore to original settings will not downgrade my OS. It seems logical that this will not happen, but I want to make sure.

    Thank you!

    You are right. Wiping just clears the data of the device, not the operating system.

    The only way to downgrade the OS is to go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall the newer operating system. You will then need to download and install an earlier version of the operating system. Then, you will need to go into the Application Loader to load the older operating system on the device.

  • Downgrading from 64 bit to 32 bit

    If anyone can help here I'll be eternaly grateful! I bought a new HP 2000 - 240 CA running Windows 7 64-bit edition. I run 32-bit. I bought Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit because I saw on the website that this can be done. When I tried, the drivers for the wireless and ethernet cable do not work - so I can't get online to update. I spent hours on the phone with a gentleman on a technical support for him to finally say that this 64-bit computer can not downgrade to a 32-bit operating system. (like he said at the beginning!)

    So it's possible or not? My daughter needs a 32-bit operating system to work from home.  I bought almost just 7 Ultimate 64 bit, but really no need to spend more money. Help!  Thank you!

    Chrispre, welcome to the forum.

    I believe you can go down to 32-bit.  Drivers are on the page of the product specifications.  If these don't work, you can contact Microsoft Customer Service to see what they can do to help you.  Since you have purchased a full version, they have a direct interest in the implementation.

  • How downgrade the BIOS on Tecra S11 - boring CPU

    I have a BIOS that is "solve" the problem of high pitched noise high on the i5 CPU.
    But I have the latest version of the BIOS and since then I can not downgrade to the older BIOS which allows to "solve" the problem.

    * My question is how do I get the BIOS? *
    Because I send my Toshiba to RMA more because they will not fix it!

    My Tecra S11 went to RMA 2 × and 2 different authorized Toshiba service approximately 1 month partner. None of them repaired my laptop! More annoying is that the Hungarian services are absolute useless! I have a 2 year problem, with the high pitched noise high CPU.

    They have not replaced the defective processor, they replaced the motherboard! for no reason. OMG!
    Be very careful when you buy PC Toshiba laptop in Hungary and is not due to lack of the Toshiba but authorized service partners!

    Please, Toshiba do something!

    Hello

    Why do you think that CPU must be replaced?
    I guess that the technicians ran some diagnostic tests which can detect defective parts, I guess the CPU was not affected, but the real question was the motherboard (because it was replaced).

    However, what s your problem exactly?
    Why you want to downgrade the BIOS?

  • Satellite A200 - cannot downgrade the BIOS to v2.40

    Please help me.

    I bought a brand new toshiba Satellite A200 series laptop with vista home premimum inside.

    For some reason, I'm not a fan of big vista.
    So I lowered my XP OS and as I was looking for pilots and all this for XP I saw an update of the Bios for my laptop it's 5.20 which was for XP. Although for Vista its 2.40 as per mentioned on the Web site.

    Now where my problems began.
    I downloaded this v5.20 bios and updated.
    Soon the problems began as laptop is overheated, it freezes and sometimes refuse to give performance.

    As I was unable to find all my drivers for XP I switched to Vista using my recovery DVDs. But the problem remains the same with Vista too, so finally, I took my laptop to a Toshiba Service Center.

    They have said that it is a motherboard problem so they fixed, but they have not set the Bios.
    I still v5.20 on my machine.

    I tried to go down to v2.40 but it always shows an error.

    Can someone help me pls... I am able to boot with a USB but I don't have a version of DOS of Bios v2.40.

    Please if anyone can provide me with my version of the bios.
    I'll be grateful to her for ever.

    Here are my system specs.

    Model name Satellite A200
    Part number PSAFCL-01M00P

    Not even this when I buyed the laptop he showed me 749 something like a shared graphics memory now it shows only about 399.

    I know that it is simply because of this update of the Bios.
    Now I am not yet able to play good games.
    This machine is almost useless for me now.

    No help from you people will get.

    I put t know why you want to downgrade the BIOS.
    Have you read the information on the site of Toshiba for BIOS version 5.20? I created this:
    > Support Windows XP and Vista OS

    So I think that you should not downgrade the BIOS. The most recent BIOS 5.20 is for Windows XP and Vista.
    You can find this information on Toshiba Asia because you have the model of Asia (not Europe):
    http://www.PC.Toshiba-Asia.com =>
    Update BIOS version 5.20 Satellite A200 (for the PSAF0-* & PSAFC *-* ONLY)

    The Toshiba Service Center did a good job with the latest BIOS.

  • How can I downgrade Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9 company from Vista to XP Pro?

    Hello

    I just took delivery of a "Toshiba Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9 - Core 2 Duo T7300 2 GHz - 15.4"TFT".» Great laptop, but the operating system is very slow... transfer files, access to the internet.

    I understand that the license allows me to downgrade to XP. The question is how can I do this, because this operating system is not ready for the technology on my laptop.

    1 Toshiba provide me with a XP OS disk?
    2 Toshiba provide me with new XP drivers for my laptop?
    3. I have trouble with XP recognizing my hard drive due to the SATA drives.

    Vista is useless because it does so not. Even Microsoft are allowing users to downgrade - please see below.

    Here are a few notes I found on the web

    **********************

    Vista business to Windows XP Professional? Yes. Right of demotion OEM desktop operating systems PC apply to Windows Vista business and Windows Vista Edition full, as stated in the terms of the license.

    ***********************

    If you want Windows XP Pro on a new machine, Windows Vista (Business or Ultimate), and then downgrade
    I don't know how many people is aware of this, but if you buy a Windows Vista Business or Ultimate then you can use a Windows XP CD (that you have legal access to) to load Windows XP on this machine.

    When you need the product key / or need to activate, it will potentially fail, but a simple call to with your Vista product key activation center should give you all the details you need. Then, when you're ready to put Vista on this machine, you can do without the purchase of this new cost. Alternatively, you can buy Windows XP today and if you want to load Vista, you can give more money to a store for a copy again.

    Hello

    First of all thanks for the information on the downgrade of the OEM of Windows version.

    I bought my Satellite with Vista and it would be nice that I would get a XP for free.

    But to be honest I'm not really sure if Microsoft will activate Win XP after buying the Vista operating system. But who knows, maybe you should say with the support of Microsoft.

    To my knowledge, you will not get any additional operating system from Toshiba, but only the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Each Toshiba laptop has been delivered with the recovery CD that contains the Microsoft operating system (XP or Vista), drivers Toshiba and utilities.

    That's all. If you lose the recovery CD, you can order the same CD/DVD with the same operating system of the authorized Toshiba service provider!

    But like I said above, a retirement details you should specify it with MS is supported.

    If you get more information from MS, please report it here in this thread. It s interesting theme.
