• Install Windows 8 on Satellite P300

  As usual rushed in and installed Windows 8 on satellite P300. What error - slow, loss of functionality. How to get back to Vista was preinstalled or is there a way I can fix it to run windows 8.
  Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU [email protected] 2.4 GHz, 4.00 (2.99 usable) GB RAM 32-bit system, x 64-based processor.

  Satellite P300 is plu laptop comes with Vista, but also supported for Win7. Unfortunately, it is not supported for Win8 so, in my opinion, there is no sense to install Win8 on it.

  Win7 works perfectly on this machine so if possible use Win7 on it. in case you want to use original Vista, you must install recovery using recovery DVD image. This way only to s to have factory settings once again.

  The question is: do you have the recovery disk?

• Can I upgrade to Windows 7 on Satellite Pro L510

  Hello. I recently bought a Satellite Pro L510.

  It came with a program to upgrade Windows 7 with PSLFFL-002002 part number, which shows that they are eligible for the upgrade of windows to windows 7.

  However, when my windows 7 cd came and when I tried to install it, there was a notice saying that my model is not eligible to upgrade to windows 7. When I referred to the given site 'http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/mlist_sp.htm' I noticed the L510 Satellite Pro series is not found in the list.

  Later, I called the center of Contact from Toshiba for re - confirm whether or not L510 pro series can be upgraded to win 7, and the person told me to reformat my laptop to factory settings. He said that I should refer to 'http://pc.toshiba-asia.com/portal/public/win7/specs.jsp?model=proL510' instead in regards to laptops for the upgrade of windows.

  However before I reformat my laptop I clarify / re - confirm L510 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to win 7. I don't want to reformat my laptop for nothing.

  Hope someone could help me.

  Thank you.

  I don't know how it works in Asia or with Asian laptops but the fact is that all new laptops are designed for Win7 and I see no single reason for your laptop are not upgradeable to Win7.

  Asian laptop models are not known to me, but I did not understand in your ad which OS came preinstalled as factory condition. Your laptop came with Vista pre-installed and you have upgrade you DVD Win7 or what?

  AFAIK preinstalled Vista can be improved using Win7 upgrade DVD and after upgrade you must not activate it. It will be automatically activated.

  So please be so kind and explain to us exactly what you want to do and how you want to do.

• Upgrade to Windows XP on Satellite Pro 490CDT

  Hi people,

  I have a portable Satellite Pro 490CDT with a P2-233 processor and 64 MB RAM/4 GB HDD running Windows 98. I am interested in upgrading to Windows XP, mainly because I'm in photography and want to use Adobe Photoshop parties4 (XP only, I think). I used "Upgrade advisor" of Microsoft and he suggested that there should be no problem. I'm not so sure?

  Someone at - it experience to do it with a computer configured the same way? If you think I'm could having problems - need more RAM etc - someone tell me? If I have to install a hardware could someone tell me "a way idiots to do?

  Hello

  First if you use Windows XP, you need more RAM 64 MB.
  To use Windows XP, you must pass the memory. You can upgrade this laptop for max 160 MB. Well well, in my opinion it s not enough to use the WinXP with a maximum return. I'm also sure Adobe Photoshop software use more than 160 MB memory m.

  Yes, it can run Windows 7. There are Windows Vista drivers available for the system that works very well with Windows 7. Windows 7 and Vista share the same driver model.

  See the instructions:

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

   

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

• No keyboard when you install Windows XP on Satellite P300 PSPCCA

  OK, I just got my new 500 GB HDD and slipstreamed XP with SATA for XP drivers can see the HARD drive and the game works fine.

  But now after XP loads its files and I get to the part where you can choose between configuring XP on the selected partition (ENTER key), create a partition (C button) or delete a partition (key D) none of them works, not even the key F3 to exit.

  The keyboard doesn't have a driver to be slipstreamed so or is there a setting in the BIOS that needs to be changed? All of the suggestions.

  I wonder why you're not abele to use the keyboard. Usually Setup will load the necessary drivers when you first before install this option screen appears

• Satellite Pro A300 1NT - Possible to upgrade to Windows 7?

  Hello.

  I intend to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1NT, but want to make sure that I can not upgrade to Windows 7 and more specifically the characteristics of touch screen.

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

  Hello!

  I think that no one can say whether the Satellite A300 compatible with Windows 7.
  Windows 7 is not on the market yet, and I think it will take a few times to release.

  And Satellite A300 doesn't have a touch screen, so I think that you cannot use these features on this laptop.

  Good bye
