  I'm sorry, but you need to contact the manufacturer of Netbook on this subject.

  There are too fishy advice on the Net start from USB to recommend a method

  They will have the Options of reinstalling Vista available for their Netbook, because they produce a lot of them.

  Take the Option to plant, where to do otherwise may affect your warranty.

• Upgrading a D150 for Windows 7

  I am new to the Board of Directors and apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find a search function in the forums.

  I have a netbook AOD 150, with a P3 1.6 processor and 1 GB of ram, windows XP running. I thought an attempt to upgrade to Windows 7 (32 bit) and I was wondering if someone had done successfully, and if so, what tips and tricks could offer you?

  Thank you

  I did the implementation level, and here is my experience.

  The machine had already been brought to 2 GB of ram.

  I've updated the bios for more later.

  Installed windows 7 32-bit Professional via a USB key.

  Installation went well.

  A run all windows updates (time consuming, but basically the machine does the job and I checked from time to time)

  Machine works and I have not had any problems with the drivers. He will never win a prize for speed, but it wouldn't be under XP.

  Responsible for a number of programs and everything works well.

  Video Skype, WiFi is a bit stuttery (think old Japanese Sci Fi Movies), but the audio portion is perfectly crisp and clear.

  So far, the only program that does not work well is Chrome, but Internet Explorer is fine.

  In fact, I found myself with the machine I was hoping.

• The upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional on a Netbook

  I recently bought a Dell Mini 1012 and I think to upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional. I have the code key for Windows 7 Professional from MSDNAA or something like that. My question is, if I upgrade Windows 7 Starter to professional, I should install the new drivers for the netbook or those already installed for Starter would work with professional? I would use Windows Anytime Upgrade.

  Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Starter share the same driver model because its the same code base, so you shouldn't have to get new drivers.

  If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version upgrading or complete (MSDNAA License are), you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional. Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, follow the on-screen Wizard, enter the key to Windows 7 Professional on demand, click on, and then restart your computer when you are prompted. Less than 10 minutes, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and your files and settings retained.

• Legitimate request for a free upgrade to Windows 7

  I am new to this forum and am revolted by the attitude of the staff of the Toshiba customer support to my legitimate request for a free upgrade to windows 7, here's an email I wrote in which I would appreciate your comments on:

  To the right.

  I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with your response to my legitimate request for a free upgrade to Windows 7 see I recently spent more than £1,000 of one of your products.

  After having several problems with the Vista operating system, I telephoned your customer on December 4 and had a conversation with an employee who could not satisfy me as to why my machine was not entitled to an update free to Windows 7, as mentioned on your web site.

  He offered to take me up to a supervisor I agreed and that was connected to a female member of staff who tried to explain that my model did not appear in the "promotion". I couldn't sense in explaining, in the context of facts that my machine was of the same age and from the same family as those seen offer "promotion."

  This employee was still unable to respond or understand my question and said that it is not technical interested so I asked him to put me through to his supervisor and after 10 minutes on the line, I need to speak to Alistair Cook.

  Mr. Cook explained 'promotion' for me, but could not explain why my model was not an option, so he said he'd call at the time where he discovered why. What he has made some time after and repeated her account earlier with no clarity. He said he would do more research on the issue and send me the results.

  This contacting your customer support Office took a total of 48 minutes on the phone.

  Vista is of all intentions, a failure, a fact that you accept your offer of free updates to your customers, so why discriminate against some consumers and not others.

  I am a user of long-standing computers Toshiba, the Qosmio is my third laptop and I have always been satisfied customer support, not that it was greatly needed. So, I ask again that do you the right thing and give me my eligibility based on principles.

  Yours sincerely.

  Hi mate

  Very interesting point of view.
  But the fact is that not all cell phones from Toshiba are checked for an upgrade to Windows 7.
  Why?

  Well, I checked Toshiba European page
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> Windows 7 upgrade

  and there I was able to find a list of FAQS.

  One of the FAQ provides this info:

  _What requirements I must meet to participate in the program of upgrade? _

  + To participate in the upgrade program, you must meet the three following criteria: +.
  + 1. You purchased your Toshiba computer between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010. +
  + 2. Your Toshiba computer is one of the series of model to check on the Toshiba page. +
  + 3. With your Toshiba computer, you bought an operating system Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, Windows Vista® professional or Windows Vista® Ultimate Edition. +

  It seems that several criteria must be met in order to participate in the Windows 7 upgrade program.

• Solution for Webcam sleep & back problems after the upgrade to Windows 7

  Just thought I'd share the solution I recently found a problem I've had since a Satellite Pro A200 GE 26 Q of the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.

  I installed the software webcam for windows 7 on the toshiba site and built-in Chicony camera would work very well after a reboot, but if the computer is in sleep for a long enough period, the unit would stay asleep when the computer woke up and wouldn't work at all, unless the computer has fully restarted.

  The solution lies in a change in the registry to force the computer to update the webcam USB controller is attached, after the release of sleep. It was apparently the default for Vista when it was released, but was changed in Vista SP1 and Windows 7. Designed for Vista original material which did not have its drivers/registry updated entries could therefore be subject to a failure because of changes to the default settings through the updates of windows. Toshiba, it seems, do not think that this issue then of the extinction of the registry fix for Win7 upgrades for the satellite Pro A200. Therefore fix manually.

  The article where the solution is here: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928631]

  You do NOT have the file of the fix, you must only make the change to the registry described later.

  You need turn on the camera while you do the following to make sure that it appears in Device Manager correctly.

  Step 1: Determine the specific USB host controller

  
  # Click on * early *, enter devmgmt.msc #the * search * box, then click on * devmgmt.msc* in the * list of programs.
  # The * view * menu, click on * devices of * connection *.
  # Expand the processor node. For example, expand * ACPI * Multiprocessor PC *. (In my case, * ACPI x 86 based PC) *.
  # Extend * system compatible ACPI Microsoft *.
  # Extend * PCI Bus *. Several USB host controllers will be listed.
  # Expand each USB host controller node, and then expand successive subnodes until you find the name of the device that is failing. For example, the device entry might look like the following: ACPI Multiprocessor PC\Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System\PCI Bus\Intel (R) \ICH8 family USB Universal Host Controller - drive root Hub\fingerprint 2830\USB * (Note: for me, I found the webcam to ACPI x 86 PC\Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System\PCI Bus\Intel (R) \ICH8 family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 283A\USB Root Hub + USB Composite Device\Chicony USB 2.0 Camera-based) *.
  # When you have located the device, right click on the associated and then USB host controller click on * properties *. In the example that is listed in step 6 you would right-click * Intel(r) ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller-* 2830, then click on * properties *. (* Again, for me it was different - ICH8 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 283 a *).
  # Click on the * details * tab.
  # Select * pilot key * in the list. The driver key will look like the following. Note the last four digits of this driver key. {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000} \0002 * (on my system it's: (36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000) \0005*).
  
  
  

  Step 2: Add the ForceHCResetOnResume registry value for the USB host controller

  
  # Click on * early *, type regedit #in the * search * box, then click on * regedit.exe* in the * list of programs.
  # Find and then click the registry subkeys that are similar to the following: * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\Four-digit_number.* in this step, the numero_a_quatre_chiffres is a placeholder for the USB devices in the system.
  # You must search the registry subkey by using the value that you noted in step 9 above. For example, if the key of the pilot to step 9 is * {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000} \0002*, then you need to get * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class {36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000} \0002. (For me, as mentioned above, this was \0005 (36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000)). *
  # On the * Edit * menu, point on * New * and then click on * DWORD value *.
  # Type# * ForceHCResetOnResume * to the name of the DWORD and then press ENTER.
  # Right click * ForceHCResetOnResume * and then click on * edit *.
  # In the * boite box the value data, type# 1 and then click on * OK *.
  # Exit the registry editor.
  # Restart the computer.

  This fixed the problem for a long time for me. I'm writing this in case it helps someone else who has the same problem. If anyone from Toshiba never reads this, you might consider adding the registry fixes for upgrades of windows 7 on the download page for this & all other models affected.

  Big Hey what s announced and detailed, thank you! :)
  I m wondering how you discovered it.

  But I want to add something: before you make or change something in the Windows registry, make a backup of it. In the worst cases, restore you the old Windows registry. Just to be sure ;)

• Y at - it an option to upgrade to Windows 7 for the portable Vista?

  Toshiba currently offer upqrades for Win 7 for purchaseers of * NEW * machines with Vista.

  What is Toshiba's policy for users of * existing * machines with Vista? Toshiba will provide a path for upgrade/replacement OEM or I have to buy Windows 7 in the market?

  If I buy and install Win 7, the warranty is in the Toshiba?

  Toshiba support will continue for a machine upgraded to Windows 7, or will be "transferred" to MS OS support? What happens if there is a problem of material and Ms. say "+ contact your manufacturer +" and Toshiba say "+ contact your operating system vendor +"?

  Toshiba offer a number of tools for mainainting machine (drivers, etc.). These will be supported / available under Win 7?

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  If you the Toshiba (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com) main page and click on Windows 7 Upgrade, you can find the following information:
  When you buy a laptop Toshiba Windows Vista-based eligible on June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010, you can order a comparable version of Windows® 7.

  So this means that if you buy a Toshiba laptop right now that comes with Vista, you can order a version of Windows 7.
  On this page you will also find a list of Toshiba laptops, they support this upgrade feature.

  Hi guys

  I found very useful Web of Toshiba site that provides all the answers!

  You can check and you can get all the details of your order to Win 7 on the page of Toshiba Europe:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-> Win 7 Upgrade-> Win 7 upgrade redemption site-> track your order

  You can also check the FAQ area on this page and you will find the explanations on the billing and payment.

  + Cost of upgrade is Windows 7? +
  + The software itself is free. Do us, however, charge you a fee to concoct the upgrade kit, but also a flat rate shipping charge. The taxes applicable to your order will be calculated during the order process and shown to you until you can confirm the execution of your order by clicking on "submit order". +

  It s clear that the software itself is free and you do not need to pay for Win 7.
  But the whole process (put together the upgrade kit, material, delivery, etc.) fee. But this tax will appear for you until you can confirm the execution of your order
  If you can accept it or you can leave

  So I m wondering what's the problem?
  If you n t want an upgrade, then you can buy a full license of Microsoft which is much more than 29, -.

  Greetings

• I am considering upgrading my laptop for Windows 8. What can I expect if I do this?

  You may want to consider upgrading your laptop for Windows 8, but don't know what to expect or if it is compatible or not.

  If you are in this category, then you will find this site useful.

  It will give an idea of what to expect with possible isuses and a link to a tool for verification of compatibility at the bottom.

  Blink on following: HP has tested my computer with Windows 8? at the bottom of the site and enter your product number.  This will tell if the system has been tested for Windows 8, and if he can or can not get updates driver and software Windows 8.

  I hope that the site will help those who are considering upgrading to Windows 8.

• 23 - b090 H3Z78AA #ABA: Validation for upgrade to Windows 10

  When my all in one office is validated for the upgrade to Windows 10?

  If your PC Windows 7 or 8 was manufactured before August 2013 or running Windows XP or Windows Vista, HP cannot confirm that it can be upgraded to Windows 10.

  Make sure you have all the latest updates for the OS, you're using currenlty.  If your system was manufactured before August 2013, visit the Microsoft site at www.microsoft.com/windows10upgrade this will run a check and can install base drivers and can work for you.

  I hope this helps.
