Problem with a keyboard key of T440 after the upgrade to Windows 10

Hello world

I have a Brazilian keyboard layout (ABNT2) on my T440 and I am facing a problem after the upgrade to Windows 10. The new version of Windows recognizes this key:

As long as the "CTRL on the right" (commom on other layouts).

Everyone was faced with a similar problem or have any clues as to what might solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Felipe

Solved.

Do more research, I fount out is an old bug with Lenovo's Thinkpad laptops with this Brazilian keyboard.

If you are facing the same problem, use this registry tweak and the problem is solved:

Problem of button wifi HP Envy TouchSmart 15 j001TX on the upgrade to Windows 8.1

Finally, here is the Solution for the ProblemsI facing point 8.1 of Windows in my HP Envy 15 J001TX (D9H44PA) TS

1 PROBLEM Wifi button (led)

-Cause - Bluetooth Incompatible Ralink driver (SP64082 Driver Wifi works fine)

-How to solve the problem =

Reset you first FORMATER THE System Partition (normally 100-500 MB size) when clean installing windows 8.1 (I don't know how to do after the upgrade via Windows store cause I never have I clean installed from the image ISO of Win 8.1)

Then after installing Windows install Wifi button Driver Compitable with your system and of course to win 8.1 (SP63752 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-123643-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en... in my case)

Here you can see the effective operation of the Wifi Button (F12 key) after restarting your PC

Now if you install your old Wifi and Bluetooth Drivers you will ruin everything!

THEN please INSTALL new WIfi driver Ralink (SP64082 that are currently compatible for win 8 but works very well and were available on the site, only last week here is the link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-125308-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en... )

The driver Bluetooth Ralink (well SP64156 I do not know if it will work or not cause he doesn't get just installed on my machine gave error file not found and I never retried there are waiting for the Win 8.1 driver compatiblehttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-125314-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en...)

THEN the underlying problem seems to be Bluetooth driver and above the steps is how it will be fixed!

In my view, FORMATTING of THE PARTITION SYSTEM is only average stuck reset who have dirtied the old Bluetooth driver!

2. the NO work of BEATS AUDIO, other software and technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology bit

The main cause is the INCOMPATIBLES INTEL GRAPHICS drivers...

If you have installed the drivers Win 8 offered by HP on Win 8.1 What is causing many software malfunction!

Then please download the latest drivers from Intel graphics for your laptop https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx (in my case 4600 Graphics Intel for windows 8.1 64-bit has been downloaded) it works perfectly!

You must also install the updated Audio drivers (SP63555, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-124012-1&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en... )

Yes that's it everything works fine! (I suggest that you do not install the Bluetooth driver until HP provides new compatible with win 8.1 setting the LED issue until then I suggest simply do not install and use bluetooth caue you must format the system partition whenever you need to reset the frame and for this we need to clean installation of Win 8.1)

questions please answer! tHNX

The upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

Hello

I HAV downloaded the ISO file following from the MSDN (en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso) site for the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file. How can I open the file? Should it be converted into a .exe file. If so, how?

Thank you.

A .iso file is an image of a dvd. It is not a program or data file. You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program. Copy disc, burn to disc. We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.

I changed to a new computer that has windows 7 on it and I used my upgrade to ultimate but it will not take the proudct key. I'm guessing that because he was on the old computer. How do I just get a new key or change from the old computer?

If the new computer comes with Windows 7 Home Premium or another edition of Windows 7, just use the Windows 7 Ultimate product key and do an Express Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade from in the edition of Windows 7 you are now running on the computer.

If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and upgrade Express from Windows 7 to Windows 7 Ultimate edition. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

Problems during the upgrade of Windows 98 Service Release 2 for Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

Well, I have an old Dell Dimension that I wanted to use and I decided to upgrade from Win98 to WinXP Pro.

In the process as soon as I start the upgrade process it gives me an error message"
" Error 589FF5Ch" I checked around the Web sites and found nothing.

If no response would be appreciated.

E-mail * address email is removed from the privacy *.

Thank you.

Dear God. I can't believe how much a long time ago, I asked this question. Over 2 years later I see something in my Inbox (right now). Honestly, I know more ask this question.

And more now, I would say try the upgrade to Windows 2000 if you happen to have a product key. Then go to Windows XP. If not, is it possible to restore Windows 98 updates? Perhaps the latest edition of Service causes a conflict with the upgrade. You be left with a clean cloth. I'm curious, that you still have a machine running Windows 98? What is the material/specs on this platform? I can't believe anyone is still out there running old technology like this to use out of it.

MY PROBLEMS DURING THE UPGRADE TO WINDOW 10

I received a notification to upgrade Windows 7 to 10 of the window. In may 2016, I started the process. I followed as a result dialog boxes that Windows 7 and downloaded Update window 10. Beginning of June, my PC me notified to the installation of window 10. When I clicked OK, a dialog box informed me that my PC will reboot several times.

When he completed the first 100% and continued with another level of installation, to 32% he is static up to 3 hours when I noticed that my laptop batteries becomes excessively hot. I then turned off the batteries. When I powered up the PC again, it began to recover my Windows 7. From there he was showing me that my windows 7 is not genuine.

Now I couldn't restart the upgrade from window 10.

The PC is my desktop PC and I can't access the product key of window 7 for use in a revalidation. What should I do to get out of the mess.

Not wise to interrupt an upgrade

You even need to create a system image on a removable hard drive?

Anyway now you will need to contact M$ using the activation of the phone and communicating with the manufacturing of the machine to sort the invalid license.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium: Tray Lock worked until the upgrade of Windows 10

Since a year now, I have 1 locked drawer for our book of receipt only, easier than all the other printing set to automatically select the default tray to tray 2 (Tray 1 is locked and all)! But I tried the upgrade of Windows 10, that was an epic fail and my cpomputer was sent to the doctor for the day. When I came back I had to basically start over with a new computer. I have everything back to be better than before, but THIS problem! Receipts in Tray 1 and my payment software its configured for Tray 1 specifically for receipts. All other default things that select and always tray 2. I can't anything out of tray 1. HOWEVER, my boss's computer is on a network with it and when it prints a receipt from his computer he properly dispences Tray 1. Yet.

Help! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

Lacey!

Hi @L2thaJ,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I understand that you are unable to print correctly on tray 1 on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-all-in-one printer. I will definitely do my best to help you.

Is the other computer Windows 10 institutions, who works for printing on tray 1?

It looks like Windows 10 and the software you are using does not work with the printer driver, what might happen.

You are able to print to Tray 1, when printing from MS Word or Notepad?

Please ensure that you use the latest printer driver for your printer.

Download and run The printer Installation Wizard. The HP printer installation wizard detects automatically the best print available for your HP printer driver. It is only available for Windows 7, 8 and 10.

Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

My laptop camera image on the upside after the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

I have a laptop Asus G50Vt - X 1, which is a 64-bit computer. It had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit installed on it and the unit worked properly with him. I ran the update of Windows 7 Advisory on this matter and he said I could upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. After the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit the images from the camera are all upside. I contacted Asus about the problem and they sent me the drivers updated, but the images are still upside down. Pourrait Windows 7 cause this problem as I know that it worked fine under Vista?

I also noticed that my dvd/cd player and external hard drives don't stop the execution after that I have quit an application. When this happens, I can't eject the cd or remove the drive from the computer.

Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Post future questions in one of these forums, please: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads
