• Portege Z930 - upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro

  I bought the upgrade to 7 to 8 during this promotional offer in early 2013, but so far I was expecting a better time perform the upgrade. I'm doing the upgrade having prepared a USB pen with the ISO, I downloaded in 2013.

  However, after 20 minutes of work, about 99% it is said that the upgrade has failed.

  I read somewhere that it is perhaps because of the recovery of my Portege partition.

  Someone have faced similar problems?
  Please consider that I am performing an upgrade instead of a clean install.

  Thank you

  da

  PS and probably OT: anyone know if it is possible to obtain ISO 8.1 with the 8 with an activation code?

  As I'm not mistaken the Portege Z930 was sold with a preinstalled Windows 7 but Windows 8 extra DVDs should be part of the package.

  You do not have this DVD in Windows 8 support?

  In any case, I found a useful page that provides different information you how to put the system to Windows 8.

• Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after upgrade to win 8 - can't turn WiFi switch

  After several months waiting for my hour I just began my Portege Z930 - 11G for Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

  To a large extent, it went to the plan except that, after execution to display the Assistant Toshiba Upgrade I lost the Fn key and about half of the keys no longer seem to work at all.

  The only key I've ever used on a routine basis is the Fn + F8 option to activate the power switch WiFi.

  So now, I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.

  It must, surely, that there be a way to do it, but I'm not. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now because I have a local cable system in the House, but once I get out on the road I will fight without WiFi.

  Before running the wizard upgrade of the Fn key grew up the key appear in the upper part of the screen and I want to surely I had turned on WiFi right here.

  The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the possibility to do anything else than to disable five notifications screen for keyboard backlighting, power plan, touch pad and cursor overlay digital overlay.

  Any help gratefully received.

  > So now I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.
  First of all, you can enable and disable the WiFi using the function key, but you can also activate the WLan settings of Windows 8
  Key Win + C-> settings-> change PC settings-> wireless

  Now, you can use the cursor to wireless devices to enable or disable the WiFi network.

  But to get the FN button work you need to install the + Toshiba function key + Utility for win 8 and + Toshiba system driver + to win 8

  Hello

  Please check this page how to upgrade to Win 7 to 8 Win:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/Windows8-upgrade-stepbystep

  The point is that you must order Windows 8 from Microsoft and install it.
  If it fails, contact Microsoft why the order to win 8 failed.

  Of my knowledge Toshiba provides a Win 8 drivers. You can get this driver TOSHIBA Upgrade Wizard, but you can do this after the installation of Win 8!

• Portege Z930 - Downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.

  I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.
  But later, I deleted all partitions on my HARD drive in order to have a primary partition where to install my old Win7.

  However I can't do!

  Now I have 1 GB 119.1 unallocated space and there is no way to create a new partition from it.
  Also when I try to install Win7 it says the disc's style GPT.

  I also tried to convert it from the command prompt, but it does not work.

  Hi Armin

  The RTM of Windows 8.1 version is in the month of August, so I think that Toshiba can offer some new drivers will fix all the problems. Until the official launch, I don t think that you will find whatever on Toshiba support and download page. I fear he must wait a little in the hope that Toshiba will offer necessary updates of m.

  Let's see if someone has more information on this subject.

• Portege Z930 - new Windows 7 and installing the driver

  I have a Toshiba Portege Z930 Ultrabook.

  I don't use it for a while because he was very very slow when navigating or attempt to perform other tasks. I scanned the system with several antivirus (now I have Avast and Fixila, but I also used Kaspersky and Norton) and nothing came.

  Now, I decided to reinstall Windows.
  So, I received a kit of Windows 7 Pro (it's the license granted with the laptop) and I'm fighting for a week to make it work properly.

  Now seems as graphics card does not work, I have most of the hard disk full some old files of windows, etc, etc.

  1. How is the right way to install a new version of windows on this laptop (without the old installation files) and use the accessories available on the laptop (graphics card, fingerprints... tool)

  And YES, I tried all THE drivers available on the Toshiba support successfully section only for the wireless card.

  2. have you had problems with the speed?

  Thank you
  Victor

  Hello

  > Now looks like graphics card does not.

  Does that mean exactly? Graphics card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager?
  In case it is, the driver is installed and works of the GPU.

  What Portege Z930-xxx are you?
  The exact part number might be useful to check the specs of the laptop.

  By the way: the driver / software installation is not very difficult.
  Forget the other Toshiba software if you n t want to install it
  Pick up the pilots only...

  However, some parts of the software as a value-added Package must be installed because this package installs a range of important public services.

• Portege 7220 upgrading to Windows XP

  What is the best way to upgrade to Windows XP? (now 98se)
  Y at - it might be those who have already upgraded, or is there a manual for this?

  THX in advance

  Gerard (Netherlands)

  Hello

  In my opinion, you can start WXP CD von Microsoft under 98SE and there are hardware compatibility Check option. After use check my system automatically. I'm sure that almost all of the drivers are by WXP. It is possible that the infrared function and a docking station may have some problems. Portege 7220 with operating system Windows XP Home edition is not supported by Toshiba.

  Good bye

• Portege Z930 - 14 X - need key for the new installation of Windows 7

  Hello

  our company bought a Toshiba Portege Z930 - 14 X, and it is necessary to do a clean install of Windows 7.

  Unfortunately there is no key working Windows 7 can be found anywhere on the unit.
  I read the installation key, but the key is not supposed to be activated, so does not work for a clean install.

  There is usually a sticker of license at the bottom of the device, but this laptop has nothing.

  So, where can I find this Windows 7 key?

  Kind regards
  GSUs

  > Unfortunately there is no key working Windows 7 can be found anywhere on the unit.

  If you want to use a clean Windows system, you must purchase the MS Windows disk containing the serial key.
  Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba image containing the OEM version of the Windows system and drivers. This image is already enabled. The series key isn t necessary.

• Portege M750 - how to upgrade to Windows 7 without preinsatlled Vista?

  I have a laptop Portege M750 who had professional Vista on this subject.
  I removed vista and installed the RC of windows 7

  Now I have received the final windows 7 vista upgrade but can not install via Win7rc or independent to have vista first.
  I don't have a cd of vista for the laptop as it came only with the CD of windows xp for some reason any.

  The recovery partition has been deleted when installing win7 rc
  I'm downloading a torrent of vista that should work, but is a few hours

  I was wondering if there is another option for the upgrade of windows 7 to install

  Hello

  You cannot switch to Win 7 without Vista operating system preinstalled.
  In this case, you can do ONLY a clean installation of Windows 7.
  But for this, need you a Win 7 DVD and not an upgrade disk.

  I think that the laptop has been pre-installed with Vista and there is a possibility to create a Vista recovery disk.
  (but in addition you get a Win XP disk in order to have two operating systems).
  Looks like you do not have create this Toshiba Vista recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator (must be preinsatlled on the laptop), which means that you will not be able to reinstall Vista new

  I think that there is nothing to do but to buy a Windows 7 disc and do a clean install.
