• I ran the upgrade wizard. I'm still not sure what it means

  Hello

  Preamble: I'm not tech savvy, please he dumb down for me.

  I ran the upgrade wizard and I'm still not sure if the upgrade is a good idea. I need to know whether or not it is compatible before moving with her.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista.

  Some issues that came:

  Install an application to play DVDs, Sidebar gadgets are not supported, secure boot is not compatible, your screen resolution is not compatible.

  I checked my screen and higher resolution, it goes up to is 1280 X 800. I tried to watch promotional videos for Windows 8, but the video does not work yet. The color was off, the sound was very good.

  What does that mean? Windows still work? What should I do to make sure that I can still do normal things?

  I do not know. You will need to check with the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 7, then check the manufacturer's website.

  My old Vista was not able to upgrade to Windows 7 (Toshiba).

  Upgrade Advisor advised me to some questions, and then I went to the Toshiba site and was informed any way uncertain "not compatible".

  If you want to switch from Vista to Windows 7 - check

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  Visit the site of the manufacturer for more information.

• How does the upgrade wizard?

  I am considering upgrading to Windows 8 Windows 7. I did research on whether or not you lose everything and I found this upgrade wizard. In the example given on WikiHow, it is said that you can click on "Just save files to nobody." What type of files stored and once you have installed Windows 8, how to get back files? I don't have an external hard drive, so I have no way to backup my stuff. If she can keep the doccuments, photo, music and video, then it is fine. Help, please

  Three points:

  1. If you do an upgrade, not a new installation, you should lose
  nothing.

  2. When you take an important step, as an upgrade from versions of Windows,
  There is always a risk that something can go wrong. So it is always
  careful to make sure you have a current external backup of all
  important for you.

  3. If you do not have what you need to make an external backup, you
  playing with fire. Almost everyone should be back up regularly. He
  is always possible that a hard drive crash, user error, nearby
  stroke, virus attack, even stolen computer, can cause
  the loss of everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not
  a question of whether you will have a problem, but when.

• Impossible to move to Windows 7 using the upgrade wizard

  Hello

  I tried for almost 8 hours now to download the files of the Toshiba from Vista to Windows 7 upgrade assistant. Whenever I'm going to update my system, I constantly receive file transfer error check the internet connection. I was able to download 8 of the 15 but then got that error once again and it erase all downloads I got so now I'm back to 15 for only a transfer to get error.

  I already tried almost everything that some forums have said work but nothing and I mean nothing works. I even used internet from someone else and still got the error message transfer.

  Is it possible to work around this problem, so I can actually download Windows 7 or at least to solve this problem? Help, please!

  There seems to be a lot of us out there with this problem. Has anyone found a solution yet?

• Wizard upgrade said platform not supported on the upgrade of windows 8 on xp pro 32 market sp 3

  Hi all, it drives me crazy.

  A month ago I went to install the upgrade of windows 8 on my current xp pro, at that time, put assistant level said no problem, I downloaded (and paid) the upgrade and then everything went to hell.  I ended up having to clean my original xp install to get the computer back in working order.
  Now, I decided to try again with the update (using the same product key, I tried to install with last month) so I went back to my email, write down the product key and click the link to download it again, but this time he wont even let me try.  As soon as the implementation or the Upgrade Wizard works, I immediately the message that "this platform is not supported" and that's what I get.
  As I said, I'm running a clean version of Windows XP Pro 32 with SP 3.  Any advice would be most appreciated.  Thank you very much.

  I just checked the BIOS settings and the XD card was already activated.

  The first time I started the upgrade wizard, which told me that I could indeed be upgraded, then I downloaded the upgrade and installed it.  I had some problems with the download, but nothing that was not easy to fix (I honestly don't remember exactly what the problem was).  Once the installation was apparent complete, I rebooted the computer when you are prompted and I got an error message that the installation has failed and then told me that the computer would come back on my original os.  After a few moments, I received a message that the computer failed to return to the operating system, and the computer restarted and gave me the option to boot windows 8 or windows xp.  I have tried both and neither is feasible.  After trying both, I got a new screen that says my computer need of repair.  I then re installed xp, clean boot from the floppy disk to return back at the beginning and have a computer working again. After all that, I reinstalled all the necessary updates and realized when I tried the original installation, I did turn sp2, but not sp 3 so this time I made sure to get that taken care of first.  And now, well you know where I am now!
  Thank you

• The MOBO will support an upgrade of the power supply

  I want to buy an ASUS GeForce GT 430, but it requires a power of 300w.  The motherboard in the CQ5320F will support the upgrade of the power supply without frying the MOBO?  The original PSU was a 250w.

  Thank you.

• Upgrade Wizard indicates the active partition is compressed

  Hello

  I have a MSI Netbook running Windows 7 Starter and want to go to Windows 10.

  I run the upgrade wizard that tells me the current active partition is compressed.

  I checked in the management of the computer - I have:

  Recovery partition - 8.35 GB

  Active, the recovery Partition - 100 MB

  Boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition - 173,79 GB - OS_Install (c :))

  Primary partition - 115,86 GB - Data (d :))

  All are listed as single - base; C: and D: are NTFS; the other two have no file system listed.

  None of the partitions are indicating as "compressed". In Solution Explorer, I have the opportunity to make compressed (thus taken as it is 'uncompressed').

  All sitting on a WD 320 GB drive (289.1 GB used by partitions).

  I do not have access to any partition other than C: and D: and I imagine wouldn't upgrade.

  So why I said that the current active partition is compressed.

  I notice that I could make C: partition Active - but what effect would it have on the boot and the functioning of the netbook?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I notice that I could make C: partition Active - but what effect would it have on the boot and the functioning of the netbook?

  Not a good thing. Unless you run the following command as an administrator before:

  BCDboot C:\Windows /s C:

  the copy of your 'System reserved' start-up files in C: this way.

• Use the HP upgrade wizard disk?

  Have seen a few posts that it is better NOT to use the HP upgrade wizard disk. Have seen the messages the disck Upgrade Wizard disables some programs/features and all the necessary drivers are available on the HP site.  Instead, we should just update directly from the Windows 7 disc.  Should you use the upgrade wizard disk?

  ewrayjr,

  The upgrade wizard will uninstall some programs that are not compatible with Windows 7 and the replacement by versions of Windows 7 compatible, for example Norton Internet Security.  It will contain also most (if not all) of the drivers that you will need for your PC.

  The upgrade wizard is highly recommended for a smooth upgrade process.

• Satellite A500 - Flash cards do not work after the upgrade to Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A500 PSAM3A 04200E. I recently did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. I used my system restore disks to reinstall Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade wizard.

  I find that I can no longer use the Fn key to turn on/off features...

  I tried to download the VAP and it works. I also tried-> the beginning-Toshiba-> Utilities > restart Flash Cards. None of them have worked even after a reboot...

  Can someone give me some advice on what to do next?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  If you have already reinstalled Toshiba Value added Package, you also (re) install the Flash Cards Support utility. This tool controls the FN keys and is required for their work.

  You can download it from the official website of Toshiba:

• Can I install the upgrade to win 8 as a dual boot with Windows 7?

  I bought and downloaded but not installed upgrading Windows 8 Pro, I'm currently under Win 7 64. The upgrade wizard Win gave the choice to install now, install by creating media or install at a later time from your desktop.  I chose the latter, and the Windows Installer shortcut is now on the desktop. I have learned since that a dual-boot Win 8 cannot happen if installed by Windows.

  This upgrade version allows you to dual boot? (I have a few apps that apparently do not run in Win 8)

  It can dualboot (as long as you create the DVD drive with the installation files. But to install the Windows 8 Pro upgrade, the score should have a previous version of qualification of Windows (XP, Vista or Windows 7). The version recommended if you want to dualboot is the full OEM version:

  Buy a full version of Windows 8

  If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information. This version does not support the customer.

  There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.
