  • I was offered an upgrade of windows 10 on my laptop that is running windows 7, but my wifi button was not working when I installed 10 windows so I started 7 what can I do?

    Hello

    I was offered an upgrade of windows 10 on my laptop that is running windows 7, but my wifi button was not working when I installed 10 windows so I started 7 what can I do? It is an Acer Aspire 5920 G (old enough)

    Thank you.

    There could be a problem with the wifi driver that comes with Windows 10. I think that you first need to find the right driver for Windows 10 on the Acer site. Otherwise, you may need to install a usb wireless card.

    Thanks for reading.

    Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

    In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

  • Have problems with the Audio after upgrade to Windows 10

    I got a free upgrade for Windows 10 option on my laptop Acer Aspire SW5-011. Everything seemed to work fine, except that I don't bother checking the audio before deleting the files Windows 8... Even if the computer thinks that the Audio drivers work very well that they are not. I have tried everything that I could find online to see if I could get any sound, but nothing has worked. I updated the drivers, kidnapped rebooted and updated the drivers, I tried to find the other acceptable drivers and other follow-up steps. "When I go to reading tab in the sound and click speakers, and then I go to the Advanced tab, the default format said, ' 16 bit, 48000 hrtz ' is grey, I can't click on it and when I try to test it says:"Cannot play testtone" It's as if something prevents me from accessing or it acts like I'm not pregnant? The speaker driver is called "Intel SSD Audio Device. The audio worked fine before downloading. Is it possible to fix my Audio, or to have access to it yet?

    Good so I had to update my post because I had to give the good news! However, that is how I am and I almost try everything and tinkering with different things. My audio works now. I went back the download Acer drivers and manual for my camera and I checked under 32-bit Windows 8, which was windows available. I installed my ID which has been deleted before when I had restarted or any number of things, I tried, and then I went in Drivers and installed the Master Installer. I made sure that I extracted all the files before proceeding with the installation. After it restarted my laptop I heard the Windows startup sound and I knew that it worked because I had no sound at all before. Not sure why it worked, but it did! I felt there was some sort of missing file or a compatibility issue, I'm just happy that the program helped master installation. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers/5687;-; SW5-011 #_ga = 1.21697787.1131678756.1448199856

  • ProBook 450 G1: Question of Probook of video playback in G1 of the 450 after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello.

    Issues (stop, shaking in the video and sound) are multiply video playback after upgrade Windows 8.1 for Windows 10.

    Questions for:

    -Playback (avi, mkv, mp4 etc.) VMP Movies & TV AND;

    -Playback of video from Youtube by Edge and IE11;

    -Video playback in games.

    NO problem all does to (workaround):

    -Reading of files (avi, mkv, mp4 etc) by VLC player.

    -Video playback from Youtube through Firefox.

    Not any way to workaround that emit in the games: its integrated use of resources of the browser.

    VLC uses own video codecs, so I think that this emission source is possibly in embedded Windows 10 codecs?

    Drivers:

    Intel SoftPaq Download Manager Video drivers (latest for Windows 10: technical support site the same as at HP).

    AMD drivers for Widnows 10 SoftPaq Download Manager (the same that at HP supports the site) is buggy and causes crash (the "internal power error"). If Catalyst drivers from AMD (latest from Windows 10) site.

    Additional drivers, also upgraded for Windows 10 (via the SDM for Windows-10): chipset keeps drivers, WiFi, 3D etc.

    Any ideas?

    Problem has been resolved by unistalling HD Audio drivers (installed on Windows 8.1 early HP).

    After the reboot, the drivers HD Audio was automatically installed and then updated via Windows Update.

    Video playback is now correct through no fault inside any software (IE, edge, WMP etc.).

  • Black screen after the attempt to upgrade to windows 10

    I was trying to upgrade windows 7 on a laptop HP Windows 10. The first attempt was via the white windows logo in the taskbar. This attempt was interrupted, probably accidentally turned off the button wifi trying to move the computer. The second time I tried to use windows ten upgraded Installer. I did the usual download and installed up to 99%. He remained on the installation of 99% during the night and the next morning without change. I turned off the computer and he made a series of updates before shutting down for good. When it starts again, it has a black screen but the cursor is there and movable. I tried in safe mode for the repair and restoration of the system, but it did not work. I tried to reset the BIOS to default, but does not. I try to leave the computer turned off for an extended period of time disconnected from the internet to see if that helps. The last attempt to start, windows 7 seems to start but then ends up on the black screen and I held down the power button to stop it. I'd rather upgrade to windows 10 if possible, but if cannot then if can go back to windows 7 will be enough. It worked great on Windows 7 before trying to upgrade, so there is no problems with the computer.

    Hi Chris,

    I'll be happy to help you with the problem you have with black screen.

    The problem may occur if the video drivers are not updated.

Should I have any problems activating this the wrench that came with the drive. I have read several posts on this but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Help, please!

    Well, Windows XP and Windows 7 are versions of upgrade as you claim, that means XP used a qualifying version of Windows that is pre-installed with the system used the upgrade of the command.

    This means, Windows XP and Windows 7 are both related to this version of Windows that came with the system.
