Upgrade Vista to HP7 on laptop at the Qatar. __

Shop does not allow me to download upgrade Vista to HP7 because there is no site of Middle East and I have no American or British billing with zip codes or mail address.  Where can I download using recognised international credit cards, Amex, Diners, Visa?

Try the Microsoft Store at: http://store.microsoft.com/home.aspx.  They list Qatar as an option in the list of countries, but they may still be able to help or know how to get the product where you are.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

    I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

    Thank you.

    You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

  • How fix my computer from vista family premium, after a service pack 1 upgrade vista has been loaded remotely by the norton online assistant: lyuv_32.dll is displayed

    I am a resident in the United Kingdom:

    My initial problem is that as of March 12, I couldn't load my purchased copy of norton antivirus 12 - it said system was incompatible, it's a version of vista Home premium 6 (without service charge pack) - I thought that it would be compatible, as my old anti virus 2011 Norton worked well.

    I loaded the bases of security from microsoft instead, and it seemed to work ok until a few days ago, when the program seemed to be scratched from the computer-not sure why. I could not reload either.

    I got a very detailed answer to my question on how to try to solve this problem in the same microsoft help site - but I thought that it may be better let norton can help me to install the purchased copy.

    When phoning norton helpline assistant said they needed to load remote service pack 1 for me, as an upgrade was required; but there seems to be a problem with the computer stops after download. I called again after 2 hours of waiting in vain to make the computer stop, and norton helpline worker said to restart manually, who led the unsuccessful installation of the upgrade; up to step 2 of 3 (only 2% charged to the top of step 2)

    The computer turned off and started to load, but stopped when a message! oxco190036! 2369/90645(IYUV.32.dll) appeared in the top of the screen.

    Norton hotline seem to have left me to deal with a huge problem and makes 100% worse than before - because after having tried various things in pressing f8 with their orientation; as files to an earlier time (called non-registered time to restore) they could not help me further and was told to contact microsoft myself - number norton gave me was outdated and the helpline was not accessible anyway, as I call me after 18:00 on Friday!

    That's why I used my computer laptop girls to send in this issue of the problem, that I hope can be solved, because I'm not much re load windows from scratch if possible. I'm not a very confident in doing this, because I can only do basic computer tasks.

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

  • Upgrade Vista on the Satellite U200-126

    I would like to tell my experience with the updated BIOS with my Satellite PRO U200-126.
    I bought this computer last year, this is a Core Duo, not a Core 2 Duo processor. It has been working perfectly with Windows XP Professional.
    All my problems began when I tried to upgrade to Windows Vista.

    I bought an upgrade of RAM, because my computer has only 512 MB. I removed the keyboard and installed the additional memory module... It is ok. I bought a new SATA hard drive 160 GB, to install the new operating system on it. I bought Win Vista DVD. I downloaded all compatible applications and drivers from the TOSHIBA web site. I put the upgrade, so I started.

    The first step was to upgrade the BIOS. My U200 had BIOS version 1.40 installed, and I flashed the computer with version 3.40 available in time on the Web from Toshiba website. I installed the new hard drive and started a new installation of Windows Vista.

    The installation went smoothly. I upgraded to Vista with the patches required to MS and installed all Toshiba drivers and applications in the recommended order.
    It was weird that the Toshiba web site had the drivers for Atheros WLAN card, while the U200 uses the Intel 3945ABG. I skipped installing these drivers. Today, I see that they have been removed from the web site. Good shot, indeed, Toshiba.

    The first thing that I noticed that the ConfigFree and Intel Proset application have been crippled, if compared to those that are available on Windows XP. The ConfigFree Radar, for example, showed that the WiFi network name, not the single Access Points. Intel Proset was not showing the name of Access Points. It's ok - when a WiFi network has only one access point, but the majority of WiFi networks has several access points...

    I learned that it is because Windows Vista manages directly, roaming access points while under XP, this operation has been completed the network adapter and its driver.
    Since all software WiFi for XP (Netstubler's) work doesn t under Vista, the only way I was able to locate access points was by typing a command netsh prompt.
    In my view, that Toshiba should redouble their efforts on their new software WiFi for Vista.

    I was also confronted with other issues, but those issues Vista and not Toshiba. I want to only quote the new Vista network discovery protocol, the NTLM 2, which is incompatible with existing network resources like XP - 2 K based computers and Linux - NAS function. Editing the registry shown on MS Technet for that matter, t has failed. If all goes well, a MS Service Pack, in the future, may solve this problem of backward compatibility.

    I also noticed that the Toshiba power management utility had become a subset of Vista power management, it was more than the very neat screen that I liked a lot. In addition, the default value of mapped Windows Vista power button suspends - and not offshore.

    Next - I noted that the Fn buttons didn't work unless Toshiba Flash Cards have been loaded and activated. I didn t like Flash cards, because they use a huge 50 MB of RAM. This problem has been resolved with a different BIOS upgrade to version 3.50, I found on the Web from Toshiba site.

    Then I started to use the computer. I loved the Aero Interface and the robustness of Vista. I had to disable user account control, since then has been a little too much security, at least for me.
    Then using the computer on battery power, closed the lid, and computer is spent in standby mode. Later, I opened the lid and started working again.
    Here, I realized something was wrong. To make a long story short:
    1. after suspend and resume, the computer will turn off more.
    2. after him suspend and resume, battery life has been reduced.

    It didn't take much to realize it was a BIOS problem. I did a clean reinstall of Vista and the problem remained. I had to physically turn off the computer with the hardware button, because it does not turn off when asked so, but only after an interruption.

    At this point, I put in the old hard drive with Windows XP. The computer started fine, any recognition of the fingerprint was extinguished.
    BIOS upgrades kill association of OS fingerprints, even if doesn't erase the fingerprints of the probe, information stored fingerprints are no longer usable which is from a pint of view security.
    Then, I closed the lid of the computer, and he went to suspend. In XP, the computer with BIOS version 3.50 would not again. It would be rather reset and Windows XP was perform a restart of the recovery thereafter. The Bluetooth radio has been messed up on every reboot.

    At this point, my U200 was not usable on Vista and XP. Toshiba Europe web site doesn't allow you to download of old BIOS, neither Toshiba offers a utility to save the old BIOS before flashing a new. I was ready to send to the home computer.

    Fortunately enough, I found BIOS version 1.40 on the Toshiba US website. It was not exactly the same as I had before because it showed a generic start-up Logo Intel, while my original BIOS showed the Centrino Duo logo. The version and date were OK, and I flashed the BIOS on my computer. He went everything is OK

    With BIOS version 1.40, Windows XP worked perfectly as before. Under Vista, the computer turning off after an interruption / resumption.
    The Fn buttons work properly even with loaded flash cards with BIOS version 1.40 under Vista, the brightness of the screen was not controllable - even from the utility to save energy.

    At this point, I left 1.40 BIOS and XP on my computer. I'll wait for Toshiba release a compatible BIOS back and the MS to release a Service Pack or a hotfix for the problem network.

    At the end of the story, I would like to add a few comments.
    I saw the sale the new U200 with Windows Vista preinstalled Toshiba. The new U200 has a Core 2 Duo processor, so I guess that the motherboard will be somewhat up-to-date.
    I put t have a new U200, but I think that this new version doesn t suffer from the issue of suspension-recovery.
    If anyone from Toshiba is reading this post, I would like to be sent by electronic mail to the original version of 1.40 BIOS that was installed at the factory on my machine, I mean the BIOS showing the Centrino Duo logo colorful start. My email is: antonio.maglione15 (at) libero (dot) it
    Also, I ask Toshiba for check the BIOS version 3.50 on an older U200 with processor Core Duo and provide to the public a compatible version back from the BIOS.

    Kind regards

    Antonio
    ROME (Italy)

    Dear Antonio

    Thanks for you long interesting history.
    As you probably know not this forum is just a user-forum user and I'm afraid that you won't find anyone from Toshiba here m.
    Anyway, as you said on the Toshiba page you will find only the latest version of the BIOS and the older versions are not available. This real s. Several months ago, I tried an older version of BIOS for my laptop but without to succeed.
    A hint; The authorized service provider may downgrade the laptop to the old version.

    In any case, I guess many Vista tools and utilities that are on the market are in a first time and updates might solve some strange behaviors.
    I noticed that the BIOS updates are published from time to time. Maybe the next update of the BIOS will provide some improvements.

    PS; Don't download and install the BIOS from other sources. European portable computers to use the BIOS from the Web of Toshiba Europe site!

  • How can I upgrade Vista 32 bit to Vista 64 bit on a Sony laptop?

    Hi there; Please tell me how I can upgrade Vista 32 Bit to 64 bit Vista on a Sony laptop?
    Without having to install a new 64-bit version and then I lose my Sony laptop platform,.

    that would prevent me from making the web.

    The disc tells me that the upgrade function is grayed out and pass through the windows!

    But does that mean?

    Peut-there please help me someone?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; they are different operating systems.

    It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

    First thing to do is to check with Sony to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your machine:

    installed on my laptop but that include photos, video and music and send the parameters I use outlook 2003.

    Hello

    Depends on which edition of Vista you use on Windows 7 edition, you can switch to.

    And as you use 32-bit, you can only switch to Windows 7 32 bit.

    32-bit to 64-bit should be done with a clean install.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  • Restore Vista Premum (32-bit edition) for the new hard drive from the laptop when original disks are lost?

    Hello

    I'm trying to upgrade from my son's laptop computer and want to replace the current drive with a much larger.

    It is running Vista Home premium Edition (32 bit) and he lost his records came with the laptop: I can do?  I bought Windows 7 Upgrade and a disk hard sata 500 GB, but I need to get Vista on the new drive before Windows 7 readers.

    I backed up the data using Windows Easy Transfer for issue restores the operating system.

    Please note that this is a laptop, I can only have a hard drive up both and I don't know how to get the operating system to the new blank disc? I can create a recovery on a DVD disc / C or something Vista or a 3rd party utility?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Contact the manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition and if it can create recovery discs.  If so, create the recovery disks and you will be able to use them to restore the system to factory conditions once you have installed the new drive (but you may need to install the new Vista compatible drivers for the new drive as the recovery disks can have only those for the old disk).  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer and get a set of recovery (at a modest price) discs and use them to restore the system to the conditions of the plant on the new drive.  When we talk to them, confirm that their recovery process allows you to install new drivers for the new drive hard during the process and exactly how do (or it doesn't work - so be sure to check it out).  We cannot help you with recovery of the manufacturer process as it their not Microsoft.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop: seeking the machine with windows 8.1 - and the upgrade to 10.

    Hi all

    I am looking at buying a machine to re-furb.

    HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop

    The machine has windows 8.1 and I wanted to know if there was problems with upgrade to windows 10.

    edillard

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about upgrading your PC to Win10 and wanted to help.

    While HP has not tested your PC with Win10 and has not certified it will work, the good news is that HP does not provide drivers for your PC Win10: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-17-n000-notebook-pc-touch/7777355/model/8429748#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2

    If this page does not display the windows 10 when you open it, then click Edit and select Windows 10 in the menu drop-down.

    Unfortunately, the Win10 GoBack function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.

    You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    Good luck
