WIN 8 UPGRADE?

I just bought a new computer with Win8 this week.  It is true, that I have to pay another $200 soon to get patches or features that we should have received in the first place?

Drama, really?  I'm just the neck deep in the learning curve and had a rough two days!   Thanks for your quick response.

It's always the drama.  * smile *.

Really the question: is the upgrade of Windows 8.1 which will be released October 17th/18th-ish free?

Your question she was asked: is it true I have to pay another $200 soon to get patches or features that we should have received in the first place?
 
Your includes assumptions fired from an unknown location and is formulated so as to make this whole process is an affront to your sensitivities and you're reason some kind of compensation for your unfounded expectations.  ;-)  Suffice it to say...
 
Glad that you got the answer you need!

  • Satellite A350 - cannot order the Win 7 Upgrade - problem of credit card

    To the right,.

    I bought a laptop, A350, in 2009 and ordered to Windows 7 using the www.toshibawin7upgrade.com program, but I couldn't get anything from anywhere until today.

    Recently, I asked the delivery during 2 months nothing delivered, but the team behind this program cancelled my order. (Order No.: 4440058036)

    Day before yesterday, I ordered again (order No.: 4440124899) but this time another email was sent on my credit card because they could not charge the card so that they are not able to send the Windows 7 upgrade.
    In addition, it is mentioned to get in touch with the service the customer in Turkey, but the phone number provided on the page does not work.
    I don't know that my credit card works because I order a lot of stuff from other Web sites in the world.

    Almost 3 months ago, I still don't know where to contact them and how to order the Windows 7 upgrade.

    I hope that during the purchase of computer A350 laptop brand TOSHIBA, but today I am considering my decision isn't true at all.

    Please tell us how to deal with which to order Windows 7 upgrade as announced at the sale of portable for the A350.

    Hello

    For me, it looks like there are some problems with the credit card.
    Who knows what makes you wrong maybe that you have entered the right number or missed something maybe, there is another problem with your credit card
    In my opinion, you should get in touch with your Bank and should ask what could be the problem

    Here are the other Toshiba page where you could ask a support team for assistance if a problem with Win 7 upgrade kit would appear.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 on hard drive again with only the Win 7 Upgrade disc?

    So I have an e9180t which, like clockwork, freezes after about an hour or two after the boot.  I thought it might be the curse of bad mothers, with what they came, but I hope that it is something else so test everything I can.  I noticed that it does not freeze upwards when it is started in safe mode with network.  The hard drive failed the test SMART so I wonder if it's time to replace it as if that has anything to do with the crash.   I can move the cursor, but no applications will be open and eventually everything becomes insensitive causing be tohit the power button to restart.   I already stopped unnecessary startup programs and it will still freeze in unsafe mode.

    The PC came with Vista and I think it's what's on backup hard disk partition.  I have the disk Win 7 Upgrade from HP.  My questons are-

    1. If I buy a new HD 7 upgrade disc will be enough to install the full version of Win 7?

    2. anything else I should do when I install the new HD and more to reactivate Windows?

    Thank you.

    Hi Mike,.

    Have you created a HP recovery disk to reinstall the factory image when replacing the HARD drive?

    It sounds like you have maybe a problem creating the recovery discs now.

    A Smart HARD drive test failure points to a HDD failure. The symptoms you are experiencing are likely caused by this fact. You can also have a card mother or any other hardware problem.

    You have the key to drive and Win 7 Upgrade product.

    I'm pretty sure that the upgrade to Windows 7 to be launched from Win Vista. The upgrade of Windows 7 is a full installation of Windows, so this isn't the problem. But he can't run the installation unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally, an upgrade to Windows 7 is launched within the current operating system, Win 7 valid existence of an eligible OS Setup and then request a restart to complete the installation of upgrade.

    You can replace the HARD drive and try to install Win 7 itself. If this fails and you do not have the Vista recovery discs, you can buy an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different versions. Select one that corresponds to the operating system that is installed at the factory.

    You may have another problem to replace the HDD with a Format HDD advanced most recent. Please see thisHP Supportdocument for more information.

    If you cannot install the upgrade Windows 7 itself or Win Vista because of the issue of the Advanced Format HARD drive, you may need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 OEM.

  • Win 8 upgrade and Express Gate

    How this will be achieved with ASUS Express Gate.  I have an ASUS Eee PC 1005 HA Win 8.  In this implementation, Express Gate is autonomous and does not seem to create it's own partition.  He did install Dual Boot.

    Yes, Express Gate will need to be reinstalled.  Yes, it will be set up (or try) Dual Boot.

    Please note that assessment 8 WIN makes no mention of Express Gate.  It is perhaps a good sign.

    The upgrade from WIN 8 will tolerate this.  Even XP is not fast on this little guy so express gate allows quick searches on the internet.  That, the Excel and Word viewers is all about the this bug is needed to.

    The other candidate to win 8 upgrade (Vista) uses a different version of the Express Gate.  In this case, it is evoked through the BIOS switch and the main program is simply Program Files. It should work very probably.

    While we are at it.  After execution of the evaluator, will be the low loader know that the 1005HA is 32-Bit device?

    Bought there is a little less than 2 years. With the upgrade of Windows 8.0 DVD.
    Let me now turn to Win 8 (then Win 8.1).

    No matter what I try (the BIOS changes) peut t get the DVD of start-up. Under the boot of CSM (default for the laptop), it returns an error of independent disk of the system.

    I tried the DVD to other readers of PC which also results in the same error message.
    Other discs for example repair Windows & Tosh recovery disks start OK.

    So I think that the disc must be faulty.

    My question is if someone else has had this problem or even successfully upgraded using the provided Toshiba DVD?. Get your hands on Toshiba get replacement DVD seems an impossible task especially 2 years later.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    First of all, please go to BIOS and set it to settings (default load) by default.

    Then, you can disable secure startup to boot from external media such as disk or USB key flash memory.

    1. the touchpad still works to move the pointer but sliding along the right edge does not scroll more, I had a look on the Web page of drivers but can not find the driver I need to install to make it work. Also, anyone know if there is a driver Windows 8 so that I can drag the edge to bring up the charms and the tabs?

    2. the FN keys no longer work, so I can't control the brightness or other features along the top row of the keyboard.

    Hi everyone, I run Toshiba SATELLITE A500 - 1C0 (PSAR3E-01300WPL) with Windows 8 PRO x 64.

    As I noticed - post factum /:-'Models supported' not supported for Windows 8 drivers of my PC.

    Although, the computer will work perfectly, but I have a little problem with my drivers: the Panel at the top of the keyboard (http://goo.gl/IQVAG) works not only put on mute, volume up/down work, but the ECO button and media buttons are NOT - is there any method to upgrade the drivers so that I can use all the keys?

    I installed TOSHIBA eco utility and it works fine, but the buttons do not respond. I can't find and update the driver/ulitity that is responsible for this issue.

    I also want to ask if there is any chance to get the TOSHIBA for Win.8 drivers for my Satellite A PC series in the future. Y at - it a utility to analyze and automatically update TOSHIBA drivers? (but not Toshiba drivers Update Utility, which does not work in my case - it offers me to downgrade my drivers!)

    I opened the Device Manager and tried to update the drivers manually, but - that's even BIGGER problem then eco Panel etc. - some devices are marked as "unknown devices" and may not be recognized at all.

    Thank you for your help,

    > is there a method to upgrade the drivers so that I can use all the keys?

    Method? Name is no other method as to try some tools to win 8 released for other series of laptop. The multimedia button requires installation of VAP (value package).
    Check and test the VAP to win 8 released to win 8 supported notebook series.

    > I also want to ask if there is any chance to get the TOSHIBA for Win.8 drivers for my Satellite A PC series in the future.
    As you said above; computer laptop isn t Win 8 supported model, so I doubt that you will get all the drivers Win 8 in the future.

  • DV7 - 1228CA: DV7 - 1228CA to WIN 10 upgrade

    Hello

    I have a laptop HP DV7 - 1228CA and would like to WIN 10 operating system. I intend to move to the version of WIN 7 (64-bit), and then perform a free update to WIN 10 (64-bit) version. I've been able to find the software and driver download for WIN 7, but not for WIN 10 on the HP site. I particularly worried of HP to WIN 10 software version (e.g. HP Recovery Manager and etc...). I don't know that HP will release the necessary version of WIN 10 of software tools for this machine. Does anyone have this experience on the DV7 WIN 10 of WINDOWS 7 or Vista upgrade?

    Answers to your questions:

    (1) the Boot CD/USB is used to initiate Macrium Reflect whether you can run the restore operation.  You can't run that from the hard disk as it is used when MR runs from there.

    (2) I found that I'd resize the system reserved partition, because at 100 MB, it was too small for Win10, causing the upgrade of Win10 to fail whenever I ran it.  This partition is implemented on the preinstalled PC with Win7, the upgrade tool does not set it and in many cases, although it MUST expand, as in my case, it is not and does not, on the contrary.

    IF you have no system reserved partition, then do not perform as the upgrade tool should then work OK without him create a.

    Good luck

    Toshiba doesn't seem to be willing to support the old models. (over 3 years).

    I can not even find this model code in the lists, the site does not seem to recognize the serial number.

    This is why all the Windows 8 upgrade tools provided are not relevant.

    I met a few minor problems before, but the Toshiba Turkey never replied messages, even those concerning the new products when I considered buying a new laptop. In the end I went for an Asus, which exceeds my expectations.

    > Is there a way to get the material in this workbook in Windows 8?

    Satellite Pro A300 is not that win 8 supported means that you will not find to win 8 drivers for this series, but of course, you can use Win 8 on this unit.

    In some cases, the municipality of Win 7 drivers would be compatible.

    Toshiba tools like VAP (value added package) to win 8 can also be used, but we must look for a Win 8 VAP released for other more recent models.

    Touchpad driver can be downloaded from the page of the Synaptics driver also other drivers like LAN or WLan can be found on chip manufacturer pages.

    _The * 4 means only on models with Windows7 installed _

    I guess that the previous configuration was only Win 7.

    8 win was made for mobile (use of the Tablet), the energy consumption of battery is also very important plant help to win 8. The consumption of the battery must be taken at the lowest level possible.

  • Satellite L670 - after Win 8 upgrade WIFI does not work properly

    Afteer upgrade to Win 8, the WiFi of my Satellite L670-128 has stopped working properly.

    The connection only works some time, usually only a few seconds before the connection is lost.
    After a few seconds or minutes the connection is restored, just soon to be lost again.

    Cannot download large files or even to see larger photos on normal web pages. Is there any Win8 driver for Broadcom coming 802.11n network card, or should I throw one 2.5 year old computer in the trash?

    Buy a usb-wlan card is not an option, as wireless mice is already "permanently" reserving one of the three usb ports and wlan card it would be just to the left...

    To my knowledge this L670 series isn t Win 8 taken in charge and this means that there is no special Win 8 drivers for this device, so I put t think you will find an another Win 8 driver for this WLan card.

    But do you really want to throw this laptop in the trash just because the wifi does not work properly running Win 8?
    The device was working properly under Win 7?

    I would recommend running a few Wlan test.
    For example; Disable wireless encryption on your router and Wifi connectivity with the open network do that just for testing purposes, perhaps you will need to change the type of encryption to test.
