Update drivers before or after the installation of 8.1?

I have a HP Envy m6-1178sa, running Windows 8. According to the HP Support Assistant, I have all the latest drivers for Windows 8. When I go on the site, I noticed that the latest drivers for Windows 8 are not the same as the latest drivers for Windows 8.1. Naturally, this means that I have to update my drivers when installing Windows 8.1. Now, install Windows 8.1 drivers before or after installing Windows 8.1?

Hi Nerosas,

I check all the drivers, but as well the ones I checked have the same file and the version. Do you get your drivers from here OK? The driver will tell you that it will work for the operating systems. If find you one that works for 8 but will be for 8.1 just download and do not install until after having upgraded.

Thank you

    Thank you for your message.

    Here is some information about drivers and their update:

    What did you do with the file downloaded from the Dell support site? You double-click the file to run it?

    What version of the Soundblaster device you are trying to install? Some Soundblaster cards are not compatible with Vista.

    What do you mean by: "it's not quite the same computer a few days ago"

  • PC has not successfully restarted after the installation of updates

    Hello

    I have been updated with Windows Update and asked to restart my PC after the installation is complete, however, my computer froze just at that moment, so I had to press the power button to force it to close. So I don't a not properly restart but forced my PC to stop and I have not a screen saying "Configuring updates" as usual (because there is no restart appropriate but just a forced to close). When I turned on my PC back, I thought that all updates have been lost or screwed up because I don't restart the PC correctly, however, instead, windows said it was "Configuring updates" (from 0% to 30%) and 30%, he said he has been stop and then rebooted my machine and these updates have been 100% configured/installed.

    So my question is, were all 100% installed as said windows updates or was it just a fake reviews? Because I forced my PC to stop rather than restart it when all updates to complete the installation.

    In addition, argues that all updates have been installed successfully in the "Installed updates" menu, too. Please let me know if it of a false notice or not.

    Thank you

    Understand the Extras in Windows Vista and Windows Update info is at the link above.

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    Install them one at a time until you find the one problem.

    Then right-click on it: hide.

    This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  • After the installation of Windows 7 repair I 219 updates. Best way to install? Small batches... oldest first? Others?

    After the installation of Windows 7 repair I 219 updates. Best way to install? Small batches... oldest first? Others?

    In the previous 18 months there have been many updates toxic that caused problems... these fixes are well eliminated or fixed retroactively or this process will be as walk minefield?

    I currently intend to install some office and .net updates separately and to wait on the optional updates updates security priority are installed.

    Thanks for any idea.

    Properly installed all updates of security except IE11 upgrade [has a full update of IE8 that should cover most security problems... [Since I use Firefox... or whatever it is, but it is to say... no biggie].

    I installed the updates [ie8, etc] 1 security and updates in batches of 20-30 for most recent first then older then. Then I installed the office updates and then a point net 3.51.research showed several versions of dot net needed.

    After each batch, I did a restore pt.

    Note: this repair facility corrected a connection problem that prevented programs and 32-bit browsers... including malwarebytes to connect to the net. I had followed the many expert suggestions to fix this problem without success before the repair facility.

  • Loss of FN - key after the installation of the updates from Microsoft on L500 security

    I am using a satellite L500-19U

    After the installation of Microsoft security updates the FN lost their function except the brightness keys + /-function.
    also the function keys that appear on the upper border of monitor by pressing the FN key appear after the security packages have been installed.
    I solved the problem by removing the update through the function of W7 (Wiederherstellungs punkt) back.

    The following security packages are selected to be installed:
    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB978601)
    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB979309)
    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB979683)
    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB980232)
    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB981332)
    Windows MRT x 64-April 2010 (KB890830) (malicoius software removal tool)

    Which of them are unsuspicios, which must be postponed, the updates are necessary after installation, updates?

    Post edited by: JoJo58

    Hello

    If you read about these update on the Microsoft website: (not of them should affect the FN keys)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=998164b7-4B8C-468B-8d39-f242633c8838

    I checked the history of updates on my computer and all of them are installed with the exception of Windows MRT x 64-April 2010 (KB890830) (malicoius software removal tool). Everything works correctly, try to remove this update.

  • Windows 7 does not start after the installation of updates - sounds familiar!

    Apparently, I have another system that no longer starts after you install an update to Windows 7. New kick computer _ I have to disable the automatic update of windows. Twice I had to restore the system in the first week because he hung up after the installation of updates for windows 7. I have no idea what update is the cause of the problem.

    Essentially, start the screen goes black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. The only way out is to restore the system.

    Does anyone know what update is the culpret? HP support has no idea. Their only solution was to update windows 7 to 'never download an update from windows '. It is a terrible thing to be underestimated solution.

    Here's the resolution...

    I installed all the updates except KB2284742 954430, 973688 and 971033. So I decided to install these 1 4 at a time in the order shown. I installed successfully 228472 and 954430 and 973688 disappeared from the list of available updates. So I installed 971033 and it installed successfully and I was still able to restart.

    My conclusion is that there is a conflict between the first 3 updates when they are installed at the same time.

    Now my system is up to date with all windows updates and I'm able to restart without any problems!

  • All the data disappeared after the installation of updates! Help!

    Hoping someone can help with this
    Last night I installed updates KB961371, 973346 KB and KB 890830 for Vista Home Premium and they seemed to have been settled... my computer turns off fine. But when I started today and connected to my usual user, I got a pop-up message from the tool bar by saying "your user profile was not loaded correctly, you have been logged on with a temporary profile, cnanges do you will be lost when you log out." Check the log of the events for more information or contact your administrator." I then found that all my data was away from all my files (music, photos, Documents, analyses)... everything was gone. I then logged out of my user every day and in my admin to have a snoop around and all the data disappeared from there too. While in admin I also looked in the update section to see if the updates have not been installed correctly, but he said that they had been installed successfully.

    I then rebooted, as I thought that it might help, but everything remained the same.

    After the reboot, I clicked through 'my computer' and hard the news here on the disc wrote I have 89 GB of 147 GB free, which I think is consistent with the amount of data I have stored. This made me think that the data is always there somewhere, but I can't access it at all thanks to my user every day or my administrator.

    As far as I can see, all the programs that I installed myself (such as Skype, open office software for my printer hp) are all present, but some of the shortcuts are out of the office. Also, when opening, they "behave" as newly installed programs. for example: Open Office writer guide me through a license agreement and registration rather than simply open a new document, and also firefox behaved in a way similar "new". Also, on commissioning today (after the installation of update yesterday), the window "welcome center" popped up, as did a window asking to save the "synaptics pointing device.

    In short, the system "behaves like new", remembers none of my settings etc, but it is still a my programs installed and most of all, I can't access any of my data! I have a Toshiba Equium P200-178 (use vista Home premium service pack 1 32-bit), I use AVG anti virus (8.5) and Ad-aware software anti spyware. These are updated every day and I run scans on a regular basis (last analysis aware ad probably about a week ago) so I'm not sure it's associated virus.

    Ask yourself what is this "temporary profile" and how to return to my old and my data! Help, please! Thanks :)

    Difficulty of a corrupted user profile

    After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    Good luck with it.
