• In the 8.1 Fusion after upgrade from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7, the NIC cannot connect to the net.

  Looking for the right place to post, so if my post does not belong here, please let me know where.

  The problem:

  Updated to 8.1 Fusion Fusion 7 where I had a Windows XP Pro. After the merge upgrade I have upgraded to Windows 7 and followed the steps in the video by Stephen Gardner based on "upgrading a virtual machine VMware Fusion of Windows XP to Windows 7 (1015396).

  After the removal and the reinstallation of the network card I have no network connection.

  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall on the virtual machine and I gave permission to Fusion App and start App to run in the Norton Firewall on Mac.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled VMware tools and tried different settings for the network card, but nothing gave me the connection to the network

  Anyone else has this problem, or can tell me how to fix?

  Thanks in advance.

  Fusion 8.1.1 upgrade solved the problem.

• 630 HP: HP 630 - upgrade to Windows 10 - Wifi problem

  Hi all

  completed the free upgrade to WIndows 7 Home to 10 Windows. This is done via Ethernet NIC - all filled with success - activated license. After I clean install and once again everything seems fine - except when I tried to use the WiFi. There is a red cross on it and it cannot detect all networks. Setting-does not react. Only thing it does is switch or disable airplane mode by pressing the button hardware or software.

  Of course the driver problem. In the Device Manager WiFi shows as Aetheros AR9285 and there is no warning - operation normally. I tried to consult no HP site for the product but in fact there are just the Windows 7 driver that can not be installed as Windows 10 says this isn't for this version of the operating system.

  So I tried to download directly from Aetheros https://www.atheros-drivers.com/atheros-wireless-drivers.html. Downloaded AR9285 for Windows 10 (no exe just inf files etc.) and installed it via "update driver". Not completed successfully, restart done but always the same - no WiFi - impossible to enable it in Windows.

  Anyone have this laptop and know which driver to use?

  so, finally I managed to find a solution on some Linux forum:

  -Remove the battery

  -Go into the BIOS

  -F9 to reset to the default values

  -F10 to save and exit

  WiFi works again.

• Qosmio G30 - upgrade to Windows 7 and better hard disks

  Hello world

  That's what we all want, right...

  I have a G30 - 182, Windows Vista 32-bit. An external HHD, DW 1 TB. Now 3 years and for some serious upgrade.

  I love the G30's big screen and very nice, as a photographer, I find the graphics excellent and accurate. One of the drawbacks is the primary HHD speed I can say. Performance index Windows says 4.2 which is totally unacceptable in 2010.

  So what to do?

  I just upgraded the RAM to 2 x 2 GB Kingston HyperX, which has given a huge boost. The specs are product code: KHX5300S2LLK2 / 4G DDR2 SDRAM, time 4-4-4-12, CL 4, 667 MHz, SO DIMM 200 pin, 1.8 V. The price is right, and I guess that's better than the RAM original Toshiba which is of older date. Of course, I encourage everyone to do the same.

  So what's next. I think that an upgrade to Windows 7. I think there are so many guidelines in this forum, I expect a lot of trouble here.

  But how about a couple of new HHDs? Can anyone advice me on this point, please.

  I would like a bigger and faster HHDs maybe. It will be a good choice: 2 X Toshiba MK5055GSX - hard drive - 500 GB - serial SATA 300 - tranferrate 300 Mbps - buffer 8 MB in size.

  -but then comes the installation, huh... I have no idea.

  Hey Buddy,

  > Performance index Windows says 4.2 which is totally unacceptable in 2010.
  Who said that this index is totally unacceptable in 2010?
  As far as I know the highest score you can get on Vista is 5.0 so I think that your result is good and is not a reason to do a hardware upgrade.
  In addition these benchmarks aren't important. If I m happy with my laptop and it s fast enough for me, everything is ok and I don't need no reference results.

  In any case, new 500 GB HDDs should be a bit faster because they have a higher density of the date. This means that everything can be loaded slightly faster.
  I put t know the exact details of these drives but if you really want some fast hard disks, you should buy one with 7200 RPM. They produce heat a little more and need more power, but access time is lower than on 5400 RPM.

  In the best cases, you buy an SSD for the OS, programs and a 500 GB model for your data/photos. That of the best performance gain.

  Finally, and especially if you can get all the drivers and tools for Windows 7, you can check here:

• DeskJet 2546 b: Wireless print job stays in queue and poster printer offline after the upgrade to Windows 10

  I write a fix I found for a pretty annoying problem involving 10 Windows and HP wireless printers.

  My Deskjet 2546-b printer was printing OK wireless to the point 8.1 of Windows until that I upgraded my computer to Windows 10. Immediately after I upgraded to Windows 10, I could not scan, so I reinstalled the printer software and has worked for a day or two and then the printer would print not unless I restarted the printer or the computer - sometimes 2 or 3 times. This went on for a few weeks, sometimes it would be nice, sometimes, usually after the computer restarts, he would simply go offline. Once, he went offline 3 times when I was printing about 20 postage labels, recently he went 1 week without any problems.

  Long story short, after a lot of troubleshooting and to help a friend to HP, I found the problem to be associated with the WSD/service Port in Windows 10. My printer still maintains a stable connection with my Netgear router (wireless to the printer light stays on blue) and I was able to scan from the HP software and I could ping the printer... but printing would be just stuck in the print queue (the spooler service) and the printer showed offline in the queue, hardware and windows devices , or when printing from a program like Windows.

  I learned that if I went in devices and printers, until I sent a print job, if the printer showed offline, I could save time by restarting the printer simply and he would come every time (less painful) online.

  

  But it's just a solution and not a solution.

  Nothing worked... not even print and scan doctor. The final fix that worked was to define an IP address manually for the printer, and then I put the print driver to use a standard TCP/IP port.

  Here is the step by step. Your printer must already be connected to your network (solid blue on printer).

  Step 1: Make sure your printer uses a manual IP address

  (1) to obtain the IP address of your printer:

  • If your printer has a control panel with a menu, it's easy... Just look in the settings menu without wire/report and write your printer IPv4 address.
  • If your printer is not a menu of fancy and repower the computer and printer HP Print and Scan Doctor network menu display use (wireless), or you can connect to your router from a web browser (usually 192.168.1.1) and look at attached IPs (like me). Some printers can also print a report of the network when you hold down some buttons everything back up and running, but you will need to search the web site of the Internet or HP to find the process for your printer model - the report displays the IP Address of the printer.

  (2) once you have the IP address of the printer number, type this information in a web browser... like 192.168.1.x (where x is the last number of your printer)

  Web page of the printer should find - otherwise, use another browser (you can use a tablet or iPad if you want). HP has several different forms of printing of web pages (embedded web servers) depending on your printer model, but they all have a large number of parameters.

  (3) since the network tab or section, look for a manual IP address configuration.

  

  (4) suggest an IP address or type in a new.  I've personally used suggest and then replaced by the last number 241. You want to use a high number, something in the order of 240 to 250 to reduce the risk of problems caused by your router assign this number to something else on your network. Note the 4 digits for the new IP address manual, you will use them later.

  5) click apply and close the web page of the printer.

  Step 2: Make the print driver using the manual IP address of the printer

  Open the devices and printers in Windows, right click on your printing device and select printer properties. Follow the prompts to get the WSD port and on a new local port...

  

  1) click on the ports tab.

  (2) add the Port.

  (3) click on after the first screen, and then click new port type.

  (4) enter the IP address of the printer.

  (5) next.

  (6) select the new port.

  7) click OK.

  You have now two pilots displayed in the printers and devices window, you can now print... but you might not be able to scan and the HP printing software may not work as he might want to lets you add a new printer when you open it... If Yes, proceed to step 3.

  Step 3: Remove print devices and install a new one.

  Need to do this to get the software back HP synchronized so you can scan.

  (1) right click 2 print devices listed in the window of your printer and remove them by clicking on remove device.

  (2) open the HP printer Assistant software (from the icon on the desktop or you can search Windows by using the name of your printer).

  (3) installation/add a new printer... go fast and a new device icon is added to the printers and devices window.

  4) return to the printers and devices window and open the properties of the printer again for your printer icon.

  5) go to the ports tab (yet) and you'll see a new selected WSD port, select Port Standard, you created earlier in step 2.

  (6) you have now two print devices in the window (again), but now everything should work.

  These two devices alone from here on out. Do not remove one and everything should work fine. At least it worked for me. I hope it works for you. I'm hoping a Windows update resolves this problem soon, I see many people who cannot print or scan wireless after they upgraded - not just the stuff of HP.

• Process held during the upgrade to Windows 7 windows.old files

  In the months I have updated Windows Vista to Windows 7.  Unpon update I found the C: drive was almost filled to capacity and had established that about 155 GB of files are now in a folder called windows.old when I saw the C: drive with explore.  I was able to recover some of the files in subfolders: Documents and Favorites and hoped to return to garner extra of the content I rmembered I could use if migrated on space available.  Subsequently, the files: Windows and Windows.old were more visible.  It would be nice to collect a little more elements of the 'old' files, but of equal importance would be the prospect of eliminating the overhead of the files ~ 155GB now unusable.  (1) how I see these files?  (2) how can I erase what I don't want when I see it?  (3) is there a risk to just delete the program files that are stored in the Windows.old folder?

• An illegal copy of Windows XP can be upgraded to Windows 7?

  First of all, some context to information.

  About six months ago, I bought a Samsung netbook for the brother of my friend who lives in Thailand. The machine came with a genuine copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. In fact, I paid extra for having him on level compared to the Starter edition to Home Premium.

  Unfortunately, it is a perfect beginner and despite my insistence that he executed regularly AV scan, the computer has been infected with malicious software and became unusable.

  Since he had not made a backup he could restore the OS from, he took the machine to a local repair shop. Instead of tackling the problem, store deleted the installation of Win 7 (without contact with the user) and replaced by what I suspect to be an illegal copy of Windows XP Edition family. I say this because it does not display the Windows logo on startup, but rather a nice picture showing a number of ads.

  As the original operating system can no longer be recovered even if the machine is still under warranty, I am looking to upgrade to Windows 7 Starter. I'm not going to waste money on Home Premium this time well that as a lesson to the user to take over maintenance of the machine in the future.

  However, given that the current installation is probably an illegal copy of Windows XP, my question is, he will still qualify an upgrade?

  Samsung will quite happily sell you a set of reocvery for the original operating system disks - and you should have the means of the provider to be able to upgrade the system again (it's an Express upgrade, probably) - you can call if you are unsure. There should be the key in the paperwork that accompanies the machine (if it includes also a bunch of disk)

  You can borrow an external DVD drive? (or buy one - they should be available for less than $30-40).

  Samsung may have recovery located on a Flash drive - ask them.

• Upgrade of Windows 8/8.1

  Hello

  I have a laptop HP I had like 2 years ago, it is HP DV6-6070se with windows 7.

  I want to upgrade to Windows 8 or 8.1, actually I already did a few months ago but I could not find drivers for what I did a restore system from the recovery discs I burned earlier when I had my laptop and now Im on Windows 7 home premiun 64 x and I already have the windows 8 pro x 64 disk I just need drivers.

  so today, I hope that HP released drivers for my laptop. can anyone provide me with links to drivers in particular for the GPU I've tried everything with and he's got no nice results (6770 m ATI HD / Intel HD Graphics 3000) and a driver for the audio beats that is an accountant with windows 8... I hope someone replys as soon as possible and I will be very grateful.

  Sorry for my bad English, it is not my native language

  Hey hush4m,

  For your laptop DV6-6070se, only compatible drivers that HP has is for Windows 7. I've included the document 'what happens if I do not see my operating system?'. It will answer many of your questions about why you do not see your operating system, and where you might find software.

  I have also included a document from Microsoft 'upgrade to 8.1 Windows 7 Windows'. In this document, there is an option to check your pc. This will tell you if your laptop can run Windows 8.1.

  For your card Intel HD Graphics 3000, I have included the link "Intel® HD Graphics driver for Windows 7/8/8.1 64 - bit. This is the latest driver available for Windows 8 and 8.1, Intel has provided. If your laptop can support Windows 8 or 8.1, I suggest to install this driver first. Due to the fact that you have switchable graphics, which uses the AMD Radeon HD 6770 M. According to the 'AMD Catalyst™ Notebook display driver' page, it is most likely does not have a compatible driver for Windows 8.1. However, for the AMD drivers, there is a beta driver that you can try for Windows 8, here's "AMD Catalyst™ laptop Display Driver.

  For the Beats Audio isn't is not compatible with Windows 8.1. I've included a thread on the Forum from HP Support here. Please follow the steps described by VJ_R. This step has provided a solution for other users. This may work for you.

  Please let me know if these measures are able to answer your questions, thank you.

• 2710 XPS (mid-2012) Core i7: upgrade to Windows 10 Professional

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone with XPS 2710 (mid-2012) Core i7 has successfully upgraded to Windows 10 professional?

  If so, it would be useful to know how long the Windows 10 Professional upgrade works and if the hits include a clean install.

  Would appreciate any further feedback/suggestion on the upgrade of this model.

  Thank you.

  As far as I KNOW, anyone who could save a 2710 XP from Win 10 black screen of death, returned to their old version of Windows. So even if they were able to recover, they don't run win 10.

  If you need to win 10, you can sell this PC with Win 8.1 and not risk trying to upgrade. You get at least a few $$ out of a nice working system.  If you upgrade to Win 10 and it fails...

• upgrade of Windows vista 64 problem home premium to windows 7 64

  I have Vista 64 on a HP desktop computer.  I bought Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for Windows Vista.  I ran the software compatibility, and everything is in order for the update/install.  My current office meets all requirements to install and run Windows 7 Home premium.  I have a lot of storage space on my drive.  My problem occurs all at Midway through the installation where he collected, files, settings, etc.  Installation suddenly stops and gives me a message of installation was interrupted.  "Not able to install driver.  He leaves me no choice to leave the facility.   There is no way to know which driver he could not install, why he could not install, where to go for a solution, or something useful.  Simply, he stops and requires to click the installation menu.  I tried three installs with the same message and the result.   I have searched all over the web to see if this question has been discussed without a bit of luck.  Can someone walk me through this problem with a solution?  I really want to keep my programs, settings, etc. by doing an upgrade and not a custom install which erases everything.  Appreciate any help out there!

  Do NOT upgrade.  Install rather cleanly.  This means that when you get to the choice: upgrade or custom, select custom.

  Experts of Windows for a long time would never install an upgrade.

  Backup your data first.  Normally, I do a full backup of the data AND use Windows Easy Transfer for Vista.  Available on the Microsoft web site.  Windows Easy Transfer works very well.

  You cannot save programs.  They must be put back.

  Clean the end Install

  After Windows 7 drivers system and all updates are installed and stable applications such as Microsoft Office are installed and updated, and before data or dynamic applications are installed such as antivirus software, create a system image.  It will take 3 or 6 DVD +Rs (non - Rs) and about an hour.  When you are finished, you will have a very nice bit of insurance.  You must again and again re - build a damaged system or replacing a hard drive, you will have a double précis of your system as it was at this time.  You can restore this image on a hard drive in about 20 minutes.  Creating a System Image is in your menu in respect of Maintenance, backup and restore.

  Another great feature on the use of the image, it's that you don't have an installation disc or product key to re - install the next time.

• Cannot connect to internet after a reboot before you uninstall and then reinstall the network card. (After the upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista)

  This problem started immediately after the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) to Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit).  Again, I want to remind that I never had this problem before installing Windows 7.

  -After a reboot, I am presented with the impossible to connect the network indicator (yellow triangle with!) in the task bar.  (It was how I was welcomed after the installation of Windows 7 is said by the way).

  -The only way I found to regain connectivity is to uninstall and reinstall the network via the device manager card, date at which the computer always successfully connects and remains connected until the next reboot.
