Update of PC with Win 7 boot

I'm making a general modernisation on a desktop PC (MB, CPU, memory) but retaining the hard existing (already updated). I change processor brand so I am advised to perform a boot from the drive Win7 when I start if the system does not start properly. Y at - it something I need to do to ensure the restart works outside of the disc - it is a single license purchase pukka CD used to upgrade the XP machine when the HD has been changed.

Once you change the motherboard its very unlikely the PC will start using the existing Windows 7 hard disk. You are better off making the new Windows installation and then install new chipset drivers and the device of the motherboard.

As long as what you buy is 'no' an OEM version, you should be able to reactivate Windows. OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed and can not be moved to another motherboard.

  • update the BIOS with Win 7

    Hello everyone, it has been a while. I had some problems with my SR5505F, I run Memtest + 86 on a barrette of RAM (2x2gb) both, but first wanted to check/upgrade the BIOS in case that was the problem, problem is, I upgraded the OS from Vista to Windows 7, and the BIOS for this model only offer the choice for Vista 32 and Vista 64 What should I do, my last update of the BIOS shows 2008. Thanks for any help.

    Yes, I wouldn't risk.

    You can always make a system image to install W7 using W7 backup tool, reinstall Vista, Flash the BIOS and reinstall W7 from your image backup. You will need to do a W7 boot CD or use your installation disk of W7 and instead of the installation option, select repair your computer option at the bottom left of the installation screen.  Then select restore from an image system or what is the closest that verbage thing.

    No vista installation media?

    You can do it yourself.  See below... beginning on page 289.

  • Re: Satellite Z30 - has 8.1 - update driver confusion with Win

    Hello

    I have a question about the driver updates. Currently, Windows Update recommend me to update the audio driver (important) and the network (optionally) driver. Toshiba Service Station, however, doesn´t offers new drivers for these devices.

    My question is if I should install these updates (especially the one important) or if they are not approved by Toshiba yet?

    Moreover, there a changelog for the new 3.8 Bios?

    Thank you!

    Hi moritz. If you n t had problems with the sound or lan, such a day isn't necessary.
    I assume that the driver updates were released and published by the developer of pilots but are not certified by Toshiba. So I would update only the system without touching the drivers.

  • RKS Fax is compatible with Win 7 (64 bit)?

    Can RKS Fax v. 1.2 be updated to work with Win 7 (64 bit)? I used fax RKS v. 1.2 for several years with VISTA and it very well. However, I moved up to Win 7 Pro(64bit) and it doesn't seem to work with my RKS fax. A usable upgrade is available or Win Fax and Scan my best bet? This doesn't seem to work, but I liked the features of RKS fax better.

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help

  • I always have an Aspire One D250 series laptop with Win XP. All updated to windows 7?

    This Aspire One still works under Windows XP and I want to update at least to windows 7.  I have a CD with Win 7, but without a CD player on this model, I'm not sure how to update.  Win 10 work on this model?

    You can create a USB bootable for a downloadable iso file from Microsoft Setup disk. However, you will probably be satisfied with performance of slow your system on Win7 or Win10.

  • find, "with the cd on the bios boot < on apple PC with win xp.

    Password lost on cp family.  We do not find the boot from cd on the biops. It's a PC with win xp apple

    Hi haouatim,

    There is nothing indicating 'Boot from cd' in the bios. You will need to arrange the priority of disc to create your CD / DVD Drive as the first boot device.

    Leave the Windows XP cd in the drive and restart your computer. It will then display you the option «press any key to boot from CD...» ", and then you must press a key or the Enter key.

    Reference: http://www.ehow.com/how_6196502_set-bios-boot-cd-vista.html

    You will need to save your own installation of important data of the operating system that result formatting will destroy all your data from the partition of the said.

    I hope this helps.

  • Reinstall Vista as a dual boot with Win 7 RC...

    My HP came with Vista Home Premium installed. After installation dual boot with Win 7 RC in which I had a ton of problems to get the partitions of size equal. I messed up my install Vista, so I deleted it and began around and after much trial & error, I got Windows 7 on my HD and a partition configured for Vista but I'm afraid when I install it I would lose the Windows 7 install because the discs I have are for recovery and said this would erase and reformat the HD to make new factory. Did I lose the partition?

    Using the HP Windows Vista Recovery disks will restore your hard drive to its original factory configuration.

    If Windows 7 RC1 is installed, it will disappear after using the recovery discs.  I recommend you

    installing a second hard drive and install Windows 7 RC1 on it.

    Hello

    You must ensure that 64-bit Windows 7 drivers are available from the manufacturer of your computer for all the hardware, or it will not work properly.

    And is the same for your printer, etc.

    Read this tutorial on dual boot them, including system requirements:

  • Updated power supply with h8 - 1360t (after installing HD 9750 / 3 gb)

    I am the owner of a h8 - 1360t with Win 8.1, 8 GB of memory and a (new to me) Sapphire HD 9750 3 GB card video.

    I "think" my system has the 460W power supply - this is due to the strange re-boots that my system has when playing video games online (I.E. Citizen star, World of Tanks, BF4 etc..)

    It is not restarting all the time but it happens more often - (the only changes to the system is the video card - no problems before)

    I would ask the community to the grater if there are suggestions about what to search for PSU?

    According to the Tech Spec Page, I have the option of 300W 460W or 600W

    Can I go higher than 600W?

  • Card SD NOT recognized on the Libretto U100/U105 with Win XP

    I have several booklet, a combination of U100 and U105, with Win XP SP3.

    I now have a camera with an SD card, but nothing to see everything in the booklet any SD card into the slot.
    I'm astronished and disappointed that Toshiba is a not ship computers laptops with SD card reader drivers.

    Please, should what driver I install to get the SD card reader work?

    Thanks in advance!

    > I am astronished and disappointed that Toshiba is a not ship computers laptops with SD card reader drivers.

    So all the drivers for Win XP for this Libretto U100 series are available on the European driver Toshiba page
    So I m wondering why you're disappointed with Toshiba

    However, I could find the driver choose:
    Product type: Archives
    Family: booklet
    Series of products: Libretto U100
    Short num: PLU10E
    OS: Windows XP

    Now you should get all the Win XP drivers.

    I guess that the Cardbus driver is the driver you are looking for her should get the card reader controller to work.
    In addition, you must install the SD Secure Module. This software is an update for your TOSHIBA Secure Digital Host controller.

  • HP Deskjet 3420 does not work with Win 8?

    Hi all!

    I am facing a lot of problems with my printer (Desket 3420) that doesn't seem to work with Win 8. I installed it first with the 'old' drivers supplied with the original CD, and then, when I discovered the problems of compatibility, I tried the Deskjet 3600 drivers provided by Windows Update.

    The printer seems to be properly installed and "ready" (if I can see in Control Panel), but every time I launch he grabs a sheet and seems to start printing but awkwardly, with characters bad and extremely slow, even if I set the option "starts printing immediately" or, Alternatively, "start printing when the coil is complete! Also when I try to delete a document in the print queue, it seems not respond!

    Can someone help me find a solution? There is the chance to use this printer with Win 8 or I have to buy a recent news?

    Thank you for the support.
