Will be the free upgrade to w7 w10 slow down my laptop?

My laptop is already playing a bit slow so I wonder if the free update to w10 on July 29, 2015 will slow down my laptop even more, or maybe even expand it's performance.

If it helps, here are my specs:

Hello

Overall Windows 10 RTM when available should increase your performance in video
is the key as with games or be at least as good as Windows 7 or better for another type
programs. Of course a lot of performance indicators are subject to the BIOS, chipset drivers.
and other important factors.

If you are upgrading, and then don't like Windows 10 you can always return to your
present Windows 7.

  • The free upgrade to Windows 10 for new or existing Windows 7 SP1, Windows Update 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 devices qualified that upgrade the first year

    I had my laptop of HP 2000 for about 1 1/2 years, and had Windows 8 (not 8.1) preinstalled. The only problem: when you install the Technical Preview, my hard drive was completely wiped out and now I have no disk recovery plant. I would like to know if I can still qualify for the free upgrade offer for Windows 10.

    Microsoft did not say who yet, but if you have a legitimate win 8 key you are probably eligible, but you may have to reinstall 8.0 > 8.1 update > update from 1 to 10.  They just did not for sure yet

  • How can I reformat laptop which came with the free upgrade to Windows 7. Update download

    I have a Hp Pavilion DV4-1430us comes with Windows Vista and had a free upgrade to Windows 7. I have updated successfully in December 2009. Laptop still works fine, but it's certainly time to reformat.  Only problem is that I don't have the disc of Windows 7 because it was a download.  I believe that the recovery partition will have the older operating system.  Can I create a recovery for the OS system disk I use now (windows 7)?  I don't have any except the original e-mail that said that I ordered the upgrade with a non-functional link on the HP Windows 7 Upgrade site.

    The Vista HP recovery partition may still exist, but, due to the upgrade of the operating system, it may not work. Options to return the computer to a factory State include the marking of the score of "HP Recovery" active using the Windows disk management console or you are ordering and using a set of HP recovery disks.

    Before you recover your computer, please check your email for a provided HP Windows 7 key or use the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to retrieve your current Windows 7 product key. Then download the same version of Windows 7, you have HERE or HERE. Now create your installation media of Windows 7 on a DVD or a USB Flash drive. Please download and use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to create the installation media.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • How to stop the slide for the duration of the legend? How make it slow down a notch?

    Hi, I am very new to Captivate, but I can only borrow for tonight so please help.

    I captured a video with Captivate and now I have to add a few legends. But the video is short, so I want to slow it down a bit in some areas (if possible) and I would also like to pause the video during the duration of the legend. So it would be similar to adding breaks for captions.

    Is this possible? How?

    I could be wrong, but you save Full Motion? When you add text captions, the duration of this legend is determined by CP took into account the amount of text to read. In the timeline panel, you will see the duration (time), captions, you can always adjust by changing the properties of this legend, in the sheet "Options". If you want the legend to stay until the user clicks, you will need to a button or a box click to trigger the slide to continue. In this case, you can also change the calendar of the legend of text 'for the rest of the slide.

    Moreover, you can always download a full version of Captivate work and use it free for a month.

  • I will qualify for the free upgrade to Windows 10?

    I bought Windows 7 Professional, a few weeks after his arrival, and in the past 7 years have reinstalled several times. I can no longer use the CD key to activate it, I have reinstalled so much. I paid about $180 for it, so I wonder if I can get this update even if the only way to use my CD with Windows 7 is to activate it by methods 3rd party now.

    You should be able to, but you will need to have installed Windows 7.

  • Unable to get the free upgrade to 8.1

    I had windows 8 for Christmas from 2013.  Watched once and put it away and I returned to my trusted XP.  Well, it's finally on its last leg, so I have no choice but to turn to Windows 8.  I tried to learn it on my own for the last month.  Why this horrible change?  When I went from 2000 to XP, I was able to jump in full.  Now, I need several college degrees just to turn it on.  I hate it!  Now the problem I have is I get all these messages to upgrade to 8.1 free, but every time I click on download, it takes me to this green screen that says windows store, but it makes that go round and round and round.  Don't show me how getting out of this window.  In addition, each time I want to do something, we're looking for a password.  Do you know how many different passwords have some people?  Sorry, it looks more like a session of b...h but I really don't know how (simply) how to download and install the upgrade.

    Please help me.  I'm old and I'm tired and I want to use my computer.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nancy,.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community forums. I can certainly understand the changes that you can find using Windows 8 as new technology.

    Windows 8 introduces major changes to the operating system platform and user interface to improve its user experience. I appreciate your comments we make changes, given feedback even to make more user-friendly technology.

    You could become user and password quickly if you try to install any program or make major changes on Windows. This feature is called User Account Control (UAC). No password, Windows will ask you if you use an administrator account.

    Approval mode administrator in the UAC allows to avoid malicious programs to settle in silent mode without knowledge of the administrator. It also helps protect against systemic changes inadvertently. Finally, it can be used to apply a higher level of compliance where administrators must actively consent or provide credentials for each administrative process.

    Overview of user account controls

    What is user account control? (This link information also applies to Windows 8)

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-is-user-account-control#1TC=Windows-7

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I you suggest to disable the antivirus, unplug external devices attached to the computer and then try to install Windows 8.1.

    Follow these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1: I suggest you to reset Windows Store Cache and check if it helps.

    (a) press 'Windows key + R' on the keyboard to open the run window.

    b. in the run window, type "wsreset.exe", and then click Ok.

    I suggest you to run a Windows Upgrade Assistant. Assistant upgrade is a free download that scans your PC, desktop applications and devices to see if they will work with a later version of Windows.

    Upgrade Wizard: FAQ

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/Upgrade-Assistant-download-online-FAQ

    Method 2: Make sure that you have installed all the latest Windows updates. Follow the steps in troubleshooting these items to Microsoft and check if that helps:

    How to solve the problems of connection with Windows Update

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/how-solve-connection-problems-Windows-Update

    Method 3: If you are not able to find the update of store Windows, follow the steps in troubleshooting of this article:

    Why I can't update in the store?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/why-can-t-find-update-store

    Method 4: Temporality disabling software security and control for the issue.

    Please disable any security system or Microsoft if you have on your system.

    Important note: security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Win764() (64) on host WS9 will operate the free guest (64 | 32) Win8?

    I am running Workstation8 presntly (64) on my Win764() host. (I invited mainly linux distributions, which so far work fine for my needs).  I am interested in the guest the latest / free Win8 (whatever it's called now).  I have the impression that the product Workstation8 is missing some necessary drivers (and/or workaround to manage the schema lock of Microsoft new Win8 anti-linux BIOS/UEFI) to do... but Workstation9 provides these drivers and alternatives (and other new goodies too).  I'm not sure, though, according to what I read on whether or not it is possible Win8 comments under a multitude of Win7.  If I invested the cost of upgrade $ 119 for Workstation9... This will buy me the immediate possibility of comments at the latest / free Win8 under my Win7/64 present host?

    Hi goodbot,

    You seem to have been misinformed about Secure Boot:

    Secure boot does not specifically prevent systems different operating coexist on the same HD.  With Secure Boot UEFI firmware, however, will block 'unknown' operating systems and OS installers (and malware!) of current initialization, unless the user takes additional steps in the firmware either disable Secure Boot or add the 'unknown' for the firmware OS that it becomes known and therefore updated.  If this OS is installed on the same disk as another operating system is irrelevant - the decision is simply one of something that has "approved" loading against refusing to load something that has "not reliable."

    64-bit Windows 8 flavors are capable of using Secure Boot when it is started in UEFI mode on a platform with a UEFI firmware capable of Secure Boot and Secure Boot enabled in the firmware.  When you install in a virtual machine, your host (BIOS/UEFI) firmware is not relevant - all that matters is the firmware of the virtual machine.  When you install any version of Windows 8 on VMware Workstation, we use the BIOS firmware in the virtual machine (not the UEFI firmware), so Secure Boot do not enter the picture: it is totally inactive, and so we did not have (or need) no "work around" for her.

    There is a lot of misinformation on the Internet around Secure Boot.  There seems to be a lot of reasons to dislike it and very few reasons to like it (unless you're Microsoft, I guess...), but it shouldn't be the scapegoat here.

    As long as you use a recent version of the workstation and a recent version of Windows 8 and all the relevant requirements of system (CPU, RAM,...), I think that you should have no difficulty getting a Windows 8 VM's.  We made a few changes compatibility for Windows 8 comments support, but nothing to do with Secure Boot.

    See you soon,.

  • Moving body slowing down my laptop when NOT to use the software?

    Hello!

    I am brand new to this forum and also to Premiere Pro.

    I would like to use my laptop to do a simple school project (before I learn other things that I can to with organization!) and I was wondering if installing body on a laptop will slow everything down (start, stop, web browsing, etc.) when I do NOT use body.

    The details of the hardware of my laptop is as follows.

    OS: 10 64-bit Windows

    CPU: Intel i5 4200U @ 1.60 GHz 2.30 GHz with Intel HD Graphics 4400

    RAM: 4 GB

    Storage: 128 GB SSD (40GB free) + enough external hard drives

    Agency: Latest version

    I guess that the software may run very slowly on this configuration and I intend to build a desktop computer with the right equipment (when I have enough funds).

    Thank you in advance!

    Since you need to install the application Adobe Creative Cloud itself as a prerequisite to installing one of the CC apps, there is a time penalty small start-up like the creative cloud as a service app, loads into memory at boot time.  You can delay or even turn off that market, but doing so ultimately do you save a lot, and the effort required is disproportionate to the gain.  If you have not set pp to start automatically, just don't have sitting on you laptop doing nothing incurs no operating system resource hit when it is not in use.

    My only concern is that your laptop is the light of the resource.  You'll see certainly reduced performance when you have PP up and running, but if you're OK with that, come on.

  • Upgrade to Version 6 slows down my XP Virtual Machine

    Just upgraded to Fusion version 6.0.3 and starting to regret.  When I start my VM XP processor is given quite a beating, cooling fan comes in.  Once I start trying to use it then everything takes forever.  I tested a number of variants of Windows software prior to release and therefore am and then install by using Add/Remove programs to uninstall.  First of all, it is showing the flashlight looking for about 10-15 seconds as control panel starts and then takes a few minutes to complete the list of programs before they can start to uninstall my program.  Everything I did the upgrade is to allow the merger to upgrade the Virtual Machine.

    Any ideas?

    XP cannot use more than 2 cores, and you are starving the host for resources (this is a 4 core chip).  Downgraded to 2 hearts should help a lot.

  • Why upgrade my video card slow down my CPU performance?

    I have a HPE - 570T. Recently I have upgreaded video card a Radeon HD5450 for a GTX460 nVidia and also bought a 650 watt power supply. I did the benchmarks with the passmark software before and after. Why was my benchmark CPU 8100 before the upgrade and 7400 after the upgrade? Video card has been much faster from about 320 to 2300 for 3D applications well.

    Hi Spencer,.

    I didn't notice that a CPU issue when I installed my GTX 460 1 GB. I'm also using the Passmark Performance (64-bit) version 1019 software.  I have two marks with the same GTX 460 1 GB differnet. A reference point was about 7% more fast (Passmark rating) than the other criterion of reference.  I did RMA the first card to the manufacturer, which explains the two different references. 3D performance was the also the big change for me.  I have improved since the video drivers then perhaps it's time for an another landmark.

    You can send an email to the pass mark and ask what happened.
