Trade Windows 8 for 7

Separated from this thread.

I just posted the same question so I can swap in Windows 8 for Windows 7?  I paid for the package of Windows 8 separate from the laptop, I got my husband.  In reading all these posts, it seems that if I want to Windows 7 I'll have to buy it.  Looks like that there is no guarantee in order to return this TERRIBLE software.    I never particularly wanted an Apple, but I'm going to rethink that after this experience.

Dell help support helped us to solve several capabilities does not work in Windows 8, but I can't keep called them for help.  Help of MS has no value.

If you don't like the default Start Menu or applications, use an alternative start menu...

Free...

In $ 5, but it's like Windows 7...

OR

Wait for the 8.1 update which allows an element of personalization in the start menu. It does NOT bring back something like the classic desktop menu start, but maybe her you above will still work.

Note that the alternatives don't convert STEP of Windows 8 for Windows 7. They give you just a more recognizable work environment.

In order to avoid completely the front end of the subway, you must install Windows Live Essentials 2012 for client library and email or whatever your preferences. You will also need to install Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader (my preference) to support the reading of PDF files.

    Firefox is compatible with windows 7 for home and studens?

    As far as I know, Firefox runs on all variants of Windows 7. Firefox works better with a lot of memory, so if your system has 2 GB of memory, you may be limited in the number of windows and tabs you can open simultaneously before things get bogged down compared to a system that has 4 GB of memory.

    If I download firefox it will affect all the files I have on my computer? Will this affect my windows mail?

    As a web browser, you can configure Firefox to your default program to open web pages and links. If you do this, while some icons may change, for example, links to web pages can change to an icon of Firefox. In addition, Firefox has a built-in PDF reader, but you can still use Adobe Reader or another program to read PDF files if you want.

    Are you using Windows Live Mail or another standalone program to retrieve messages? Firefox be involved with it because these programs to get the mail directly, not not using your browser. But if you make Firefox your default for links Manager, when you click on a link in the e-mail software, it will open in Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

    Other things:

    (1) attention to the download links at random in search engine results. You can get Firefox here (scroll to your preferred language):

    https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/

    (2) I'm sure after Firefox is started the first time, you will have many questions. The program should give you a little tour of routine, and you can use our support articles for more information: https://support.mozilla.org/products/firefox

    (3) you must install IE11 because there are still a few sites that use patented technologies and are not displayed in Firefox, such as Windows update

    Is the problem that the Windows task bar is hidden by the Firefox window, or that changes to the taskbar make it impossible to change the windows?

    If the taskbar are hidden by Firefox, it is possible that Firefox is in full screen mode. The F11 key toggles between full screen and normal views.

    Another potential problem is that Firefox sometimes seems to collect data of erroneous screen size of the operating system and that the window of Firefox too large. You can rename the relevant settings file to see if that helps.

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    To restore the missing bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

  • Pilot Windows 10 for Satellite click Mini L9W - B

    Hello!

    When about can we expect drivers for Windows 10 for Satellite click on mini? On the Toshiba Web page, I can only download drivers for Windows 8.1. That's why friends advised me to not install Windows 10 again. But how much time do we have to wait for Windows 10 pilots?

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Pete,.

    Keep an eye on this space.

    All drivers must be created and tested before Toshiba may make public, it is unfortunately a long and vigorous system, usually after a new operating system is released most of the products are made compatible within a year.

    Hope this helps,

  • No sticker with the license number Windows XP for Toshiba NB100

    I lost the sticker with the license number Windows XP for Toshiba NB100. I have an invoice.
    How can I recover the license number?

    Licensed refused to support this topic.

    Hello

    You can't get the license number.
    First the sticker on the bottom of the unit has been a serial OEM key. This key cannot be used and would not work under Win XP installed system costs.

    The point is that Toshiba image which was preinstalled on this laptop has already been activated, which means that this key has been useless.

    I assume that you have not created a disk recovery Toshiba (or flash USB stick) in the past? Right?
    These records would be reinstall the image of Toshiba containing the active Win XP system.

    Well, usually it of possible to order this disc [here | http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] but I think that would be more because of the age of the laptop.

    Solution: you have to buy Win XP with valid serial key.

  • Windows XP for Satellite Pro M70

    Hi all!
    is there a link for the image of Windows XP for my laptop? I only DVD with image with it, but its disk image and I don't want to use it, because I can't divide my HARD drive, you don't want to use Norton Firewall, etc...
    Please, help if you can...

    Hi Todor,

    If you boot from your recovery CD, you should get a menu that allows to choose the "Expert Mode" installation for your laptop. If you select this option you will then be given a range of other opportunities that will allo you to partition your hard disk before installing the operating system.

    As to why Toshiba does not provide the original Microsoft install CD, the fundamental reason is the license cost. It is cheaper to use an OEM license that allows the manufacturer to provide a system pre-installed (such as on your recovery CD). It is also easier for inexperienced users raise new and running his notebook by using this option. The draw the draw-back for experienced users, it's that they are limited to a certain extent with what they can do with the operating system and it is also impossible to choose to install the CD recovery applications.

    Kind regards
