    My Toshiba create multimedia tool repair does not work.  I have an I7 of Satellite A505 and it came with home premium and I did the anytime upgrade to Win 7 Pro, I want to try to download an .iso in Windows 7 Pro and do a fresh install.

    I have the upgrade button.  I wonder if I should first download Home premium, it came with and then download the pro, I have two keys, I don't drive and Dosen t Toshiba tool work.  T have to find the way.  any help will be appreciated

    So if I understand correctly, I charge Home premium, then simply use the upgrade key and it will unlock win Pro, or I have to download pro then install it on Home Premium and use the key?

    YES! As Andre also noted. You must activate Home Premium with his first touch, then simply use the key to upgrade Express to go Pro. Pro is already part of Home Premium and the key to upgrade Express just unlocks.

But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), I get a blue screen of the STOP just as the installation application reached the phase "the installation program starts Windows! The STOP message says something about a file named "pci.sys".

    I don't know what the problem is or how to install XP Pro! It should be so simple! I even tried the SATA drivers from intel and load the Windows XP Pro install the program installation (F6) with a floppy, but I always get the same blue screen at the same stage of the installation.

    Can someone help me please? Can someone explain how to install Win XP Pro on this laptop?

    Thank you very much in advance! I'm really really freak out with this
    Octavio.

    OK, just for the record, I'm on Windows 7 Pro, just upgraded to Win XP Pro, a MacBook Pro using Parallels 8. So far, I love Windows 7, a cleaner and sharper than XP interface. But since I don't have installed it for a few days, I run into some nagging problems. As...

    ... OK, I agree with Office 365 and have all the programs under "other programs > Office 2013." For the life of me I can't understand how to create shortcuts to office programs.

    Can anyone help?

  • Installation upgrade to Win 7 Pro 64 Full

    I have a PC (can call PC - 1) with Vista installed. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and all sorts of problems.

    I bought a copy of OEM Win 7 Pro 64 and install it on a new hard drive on this PC-1. He works very, very well. So far, I'm very happy.

    The old hard drive on PC - 1 is out of the computer in a shelf with no use. He has my Windows 7 Pro upgrade in it.

    I bought a brand new similar (PC-2) computer and a new hard disc, so now I have:

    -PC-1 with a new drive hard and nine OEM win 7 64 bit install and works perfectly... and

    -PC-2 with a new hard drive in which I tried to install my (legal) original of the upgrade to Win 7 Pro 64, but I didn't want to not install Vista first, because I'm having the same problems that I had in the first place, so I install as a full version. At the point where he asks me my product key that I copied from the sticker in the present case, he tells me is not a valid product key.

    What should I do to use this copy of Windows 7 Pro in my new hard drive, but do not install Vista first?

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    You can not install the upgrades on a blank disc.

    Windows Update problem (new)

    The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

    I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

    NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

    1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
    2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
    3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.
    4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
    5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
    6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
    7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

    From what I've read about the specifications of your computer, it had Windows 8 core and not Windows 8 Pro from the factory.  When you update the store Windows or Windows Update, Windows will search the version you have on the system and download the appropriate version.

    If you feel that the above is not correct, do a factory restore using the recovery or recovery that hopfully disks Manager, you created when you first got the computer and check the installed system.

  • Acer Aspire its problems after Win 7 Pro and the new installed HARD drive

    I have an acer aspire 8735 laptop g-6502 which has recently undergone a WD 500 GB drive HARD failure. I replaced that with a 7200 RPM Hitachi 1 TB drive and given that I don't have a Win 7 original used a disk Win 7 Pro with an extra friend.

    Windows 7 Pro and HARD disk installation went smooth. But now when I plug an HDMI cable to watch through my Marantz receiver, comes from the video, but I have to do manually the Marantz the default audio device for sound. When I unplug the HDMI, I must return to the parameters of sound and unenable Marantz and re - activate the Realtek audio.

    Before the drive died HARD, happen all perfectly when you plug the HDMI cable in and the fact to disconnect without any fiddling around with settings.

    I also have a few other questions:
    1. the touch volume control next to the numeric keypad does not control the volume more
    2. the keyboard key used to have a setting to display it. You can use two fingers on a tablet to drag the image to the screen bigger and smaller.

    I looked the site of Acer and also used my drive Application and drivers to reinstall everything that looked related to these issues. When first, I installed Win 7 Pro I let Windows find the appropriate drivers. It worked for some things but not others.

    Any ideas? I have a few scratches on my face and my forehead in frustration pain making me beat me here. Funny, but true, so all ideas are appreciated!
