• Windows 8.1 upgrade is not possible because win 8 is not enabled

  A few months ago, I bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satallite with 8 Windows preinstalled
  Now I want to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows. But I don't see the upgrade of Windows 8.1 in Windows store. I think it's because my current installed windows seems not you be activated...

  When I try to activate, I get error: 0xC004F074.
  I found a solution using the command: SLUI 3 and then enter the product key to activate it, but I don't have a product key! There is no sticker with a product key on the laptop.

  Could someone help me with this question, so I can activate my current installation of Windows 8 and upgrade to Windows 8.1?

  Hello

  I had some problems with an upgrade to 8.1 to win in the past...
  Finally, I managed to install the Windows 8.1 update once the laptop has been set back to factory settings.

  I'm not sure if this should be done in your case, but where the 8.1 Win update is not possible after installing all the windows updates, you should reset the PC back to factory settings. After that the upgrade should work.

• Upgrade satellite C670 Pro to win 8 question

  I'm confused. On a part of the Toshiba site it says that my laptop is supported for upgrade, but somewhere else, it is not listed.

• upgrade CPU i7 in dv6t: Win does not start

  In my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6t Quad), I replaced my old processor i7-720QM with an i7-840QM (same TDP, 45W). However, my Win 7 x 64 does not start now. It receives with regard to "start Windows" / pulses Win logo screen, but then it freezes and does nothing. If I power off power, I get "Windows did not start properly. I have to select "repair Windows". I see "Loading Windows files", then briefly green, 'Microsoft Windows' with a bar and then, once again, nothing. I was now in my old i7-720QM (the fact that I was able to go back to my old CPU smoothly tells me that I know how to swap the processors correctly). I checked the BIOS is the latest available for my laptop (F1D 05/10/2010). No idea what I should try? Should win 7 some drivers to recognize the new CPU?

  Second time the charm: I managed to upgrade to the 840. Not sure what exactly went wrong the first time around, probably that Win cannot install the drivers for the CPU.

• Touch screen not working not not after upgrade from 8.1 to win

  I have a PC HP Envy product number X 2 C2K61UA #ABA now Win 8.1 32 bit running. After the upgrade is installed, the screen no longer meets a contact. On the other hand, the touchpad works.

  Masters,

  Welcome to the HP Forum.

  I just went through this process on my own want of X 2 and the touch screen is OK after the upgrade.

  Something that I've done that maybe makes the difference: I have day all driver sets for Windows 8.1 before the upgrade.  Pilots have been out for awhile; the drivers for the 8.1 are also compatible with Windows 8 update was possible before installing the Windows 8.1 operating system.

  I had also stripped most of my personal computer programs: I refresh the system using a customized several months back Image, which included only a relatively bare installation and installation of Microsoft Office standard packages.  I left installed HP SimplePass (I use a device of fingerprinter USB with this computer) and my photo editing software that has been designed for Windows 7 which was SO painful to install that I decided to take the risk of letting up.   Those who survived.

  The stripped upgrade Firefox and Chrome (no biggie), Flash, Kindle, various programs and the old OneDrive files the installer for Windows 8 and a couple of obsolete Broadcom drivers.

  • If you not already have, update all your drivers from the website of media from your computer.  You can always reinstall the drivers - if they have already been installed, you can select "Yes to all" and reinstall / reload the packages during the installation.  Restart the computer after installation.
  • You must run also immediately the Windows updates to 8.1 after the upgrade - there is not zillions of updates, but there are several critical fixes that you do not want to get on the system.

  Changes

  Content deleted from here about RemovedApps - it was not correct for this context.

  • If you find that the question is one of the 'lost files', structure pilot, lost 'something' - lost-at so you can get in C:\Windows.old offending data / missing.  You have 28 days from the date of the upgrade.  I'm not sure of the type of 'time bomb' built into the data - you might be able to actually prevent lost data by copying to an external drive if you really want to keep.

  I hope this helps.

• Considerations for the host of the upgrade of Vista HomePremium for Win 7

  I have a large 64-bit Vista HomePremium PC as the host operating system. I've got VMWare Workstation 6.5.x running as an application on Vista and it supports two computer called Windows XP (essentially nothing else that VMware is running on the host).

  I think the upgrade to Vista from readings elsewhere. Assuming that succeeded, it would be an appropriate next steps approach?

  • Re-install the VMware Workstation application on new host (Win 7)

  • point this VM Workstation application newly installed on the definitions of existing virtual machine (GER) for Windows XP 2 clients

  I'm sorry not to use better terminology in my question. I hope my question makes sense for a VMware guru. I have a bit of memory on the use of the MS Virtual PC 2007 product and I think I understand the concepts but my terms are probably passing offshore for VMWare.

  Other ways to address this issue are:

  • is there a list of audit planning things to do before you change your host operating system while you are a user of VMWare Workstation?

  • is there a special version or service pack for VMWare WS run on a host Windows 7 (64-bit) machine?

  Thank you for your comprehensive reply and suggestions. As I answered Naki, know nothing about the intentions of VMWare on the 'official' support for Windows 7?

  Official support for Windows7 as a host and guest will be included in VMware Workstation 7, which is currently in version beta (in fact it is now at the stage of the Release Candidate).

  VMware comment on dates for the next version, but my guess is that 'soon' is based on the fact that it is more listed on the page of Beta here: http://communities.vmware.com/community/beta
