upgrade to windows 8 and now WiFi doesn't XPS 16
I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 with my XPS 16. I know that the Intel R 5150 does not work with Windows 8, just like everything the world I saw a post on various sites when they upgrade. My concern is... when it's going to be a updated driver! Looks like if Windows would make it available to upgrade your operating system to 8 they would have all this mind on. Now I have to get rid of 8 just so I can have WiFi!
I got it working on my Studio XPS 16 as follows:
Step 1.
Download the drivers from intel for
Search:
Product family: wireless network
Range of products: Intel® Centrino® wireless products
Product name: Intel® WiFi Link 5300 and Intel® WiFi Link 5100 products
Result: Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and drivers for Windows 7 *.
I chose Windows 7 64 bit drivers (no Win 8 are listed)
http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/
Step 2:
Click right file is downloaded and run click Properties > compatibility
Run in compatibility mode windows 7 (see screenshot)
Step 3:
Installer racing driver, once installed it it worked for me for the first time - good luck

I've upgraded to Windows 7 and now my laptop mouse scroll button will not work.
I have upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 on my Fujitsu Lifebook laptop.
The mouse that is built into my computer is a tablet with a typical right button and left button - and between these 2 buttons are 2 small buttons that can scroll and down the documents and Web sites. Well, since I have upgraded from Vista to 7, this button did not work. Not on Web pages, not on Word documents, not on anything!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you!

Upgrade to Windows 8 and now cannot access my external hard drive
I just changed OS from Vista to Windows 8 on July 3-4. Everything seems to work properly but when I tried to access my external Western Digital HD, it tells me access is denied. I copied this before making the switch: family videos and photos, documents, statements, etc., and now I can't access the drive. The drive appears on my computer but when I click on it it gives me an error message that I don't have permission. I don't see how that's possible, because I am the administrator. It is a home computer and I don't need all this security {deleted}. The only thing I can think is that I didn't log on the computer when I used Vista but now I connect with Windows 8. The connection ID would be the reason why I can't access the drive? I tried to make the public drive and giving my self control of training, but I get refused every time. Someone at - it ideas? I'll be upset if I lost access to everything on my external.

Thank you for your help. I think that I finally thought to it. By clicking on the icon my computer, it would show all available drives. One was removable storage drive I: WD Unlocker but it is only 7MB. After the installation of Windows 8, I had to click this drive tell him to unlock my WD J: drive. Once I did, I could see the folders and files but couldn't access it. I clicked on the I: drive and select Properties. He says that the disc was not shared so I said to share. Then I looked at the permissions and he says: read-only. Once I changed it to shared with full access, I can access now fully my WD J: will try to restart now and see if I still have access. Thanks again for your help.

Upgrade to Windows 10 and now Usb 2.0 transfer is does not work with 10 Workstation
I have post professional and vmware 64 bit windows 10 10.
Whenever I try to spend my usb 2.0 storage device attached to a usb 2.0 controller that uses microsoft drivers, I get one? brand icon located next to the device in Device Manager asking the USB storage device name. The storage device works fine on windows, it is not call himself a vmware device when I try to connect it to my virtual machines which then tells me it could not connect to this device.
I did an installation of repair 3 times already and it has not solved the problem. Is there anything else I can do to get this working?

If your Windows 10 is recently upgraded to WIndows 7/8? If Yes, then you must completely Workstation to uninstall and reinstall the workstation. We have seen USB problems after upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. And a complete uninstall/reinstall should solve the problem. Please let me know if it works for you. Thank you!

PC has windows 7 preinstalled, upgraded to windows 8 and now want to get windows 7!
Hello
When I bought the Dell Insipiron, it had Windows 7 pre-installed. Later, at the launch of windows 8, I went to her. However, I have to work with a lot of programs do not run Windows 8, so I´d as to return to the original installation.
How can I do this? I don't have the key number, but I don't have an installation cd.
Thanks in advance!
Hi melmakiano,
If you have changed the operating system, you will need to use the operating system disc. If you created the recovery disks when you bought the computer (always recommended that you should create them), you use to restore the computer.
Note: This step leads to complete loss of data, including photos, music files, videos, documents, and applications.
