• How to install Win8 on Portege Z930

  Hello

  We have a Portege Z930 with Win 7 preinstalled.
  Now, we want to spend to Win 8.
  There were two Win8 DVD provided.

  Can I use this upgrade DVD?
  How can I use DVDs without a drive?

  I tried with another laptop DVD and the DVD is not bootable.

  Any tips?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards

  Hello

  > How to use the DVD without a player?
  I guess that you can use if you do not have external CD/DVD drive

  Perhaps you could borrow the car to a friend

  If not try to copy the contents of the disc to a key memory USB flash and then try to boot from the stick.
  But to be honest, I not quite sure m TI would work.

• Portege Z930 - upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro

  I bought the upgrade to 7 to 8 during this promotional offer in early 2013, but so far I was expecting a better time perform the upgrade. I'm doing the upgrade having prepared a USB pen with the ISO, I downloaded in 2013.

  However, after 20 minutes of work, about 99% it is said that the upgrade has failed.

  I read somewhere that it is perhaps because of the recovery of my Portege partition.

  Someone have faced similar problems?
  Please consider that I am performing an upgrade instead of a clean install.

  Thank you

  da

  PS and probably OT: anyone know if it is possible to obtain ISO 8.1 with the 8 with an activation code?

  As I'm not mistaken the Portege Z930 was sold with a preinstalled Windows 7 but Windows 8 extra DVDs should be part of the package.

  You do not have this DVD in Windows 8 support?

  In any case, I found a useful page that provides different information you how to put the system to Windows 8.

  Hello

  Please check this page how to upgrade to Win 7 to 8 Win:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/Windows8-upgrade-stepbystep

  The point is that you must order Windows 8 from Microsoft and install it.
  If it fails, contact Microsoft why the order to win 8 failed.

  Of my knowledge Toshiba provides a Win 8 drivers. You can get this driver TOSHIBA Upgrade Wizard, but you can do this after the installation of Win 8!

• Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after upgrade to win 8 - can't turn WiFi switch

  After several months waiting for my hour I just began my Portege Z930 - 11G for Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

  To a large extent, it went to the plan except that, after execution to display the Assistant Toshiba Upgrade I lost the Fn key and about half of the keys no longer seem to work at all.

  The only key I've ever used on a routine basis is the Fn + F8 option to activate the power switch WiFi.

  So now, I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.

  It must, surely, that there be a way to do it, but I'm not. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now because I have a local cable system in the House, but once I get out on the road I will fight without WiFi.

  Before running the wizard upgrade of the Fn key grew up the key appear in the upper part of the screen and I want to surely I had turned on WiFi right here.

  The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the possibility to do anything else than to disable five notifications screen for keyboard backlighting, power plan, touch pad and cursor overlay digital overlay.

  Any help gratefully received.

  Andrew

  > So now I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.
  First of all, you can enable and disable the WiFi using the function key, but you can also activate the WLan settings of Windows 8
  Key Win + C-> settings-> change PC settings-> wireless

  Now, you can use the cursor to wireless devices to enable or disable the WiFi network.

  But to get the FN button work you need to install the + Toshiba function key + Utility for win 8 and + Toshiba system driver + to win 8

• Audio choppy and distorted on Portege Z930 after update of Win7 for Win8 64

  I just wanted to share a tip with you that cost me some time to work, about the sound reproduction of a Portege Z930.

  When I got my new Z930 - 14L, he was running Win7.
  I tried everything like you do when you get a new machine and it worked fine - including the audio playback.

  When I updated for Win8-64 since the CD that came with the computer, everything still seemed to work very well and I had not changed any driver or Setup.

  However, after a few minutes, the linenn of audio playback. It choppy, distorted, interrupted, stuttering and I was shocked.

  Oddly enough, as soon as I turned my attention to the computer again, reading was OK again - but no screen saver came and no power saving mode has come in so little time. I knew that this was no hardware problem (because it worked in Win7), it was not a driver problem (because the first 5 minutes, the sound was pristine), he was not a ground loop, (as many have suggested) because it sounds differently.

  Thanks to another forum, I discovered that it is actually the combination of Windows Defender, Win8-64 Pro and the audio driver that causes this. If the device is idle for a few minutes, the Defender thinks it's a good idea to use idle time to scan the SSD - causing interference with audio playback. Of course, you cannot simply disable or stop the central antivirus process, that would ruin some the whole point. :-)

  _So I installed Kaspersky suite on the machine (which automatically disables the Windows Defender) and the problem disappeared! _ it's probably the only time where the installation of an antivirus suite SOLVES a problem. :-)

  BTW, this is not probably limited to this antivirus product, simply play a bit with the Defender.

  Best, Yuppie

  > Then I installed Kaspersky suite on the machine (which automatically disables the Windows Defender) and the problem disappeared! It's probably the only time where the installation of an antivirus suite SOLVES a problem.

  Thank you much for sharing this details here in the community.
  I guess that the information could be useful for others who have these problems of his fellow men.

  You can use an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from disks to win 8.

  Or you try to install the 8 Win using a flash USB memory sik.
  But in order to install the memory flash USB one Win 8 Win 8 ISO (image) files is necessary.
  In addition, you will need to create a bootable USB. You can do this by using the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool

  How to return to Windows 7?

  Hello

  I guess that your BIOS contains the option to switch between the UEFI and BIOS of the CSM.
  It must therefore return to the CSM BIOS and must disable secure boot if it has been previously activated.

  Then you can reinstall Win 7

• Portege Z930 - 12 H - update of the BIOS and McAfee Endpoint Encryption?

  The update to the latest BIOS (Ver.6.70) for my laptop Portege Z930 12 H comes with the warning:

  «If you use the BitLocker Windows Drive encryption, please temporarily suspend (or turn off) before BitLocker Drive Encryption updated BIOS.»

  The same caveat applies to McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which is used on my laptop and I can * not * pause or stop? Or can I apply the upgrade of the BIOS safely?

  Thank you.

  As much I know Bitlocker isn't related to Antivirus from McAfee software and two security tools are not connected to each other. BitLocker is a tool for Microsoft Windows and McAfee is a 3rd party software preinstallation on the device.

  I found a nice how doc on the update of the BIOS.

• Portege Z930 - Downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.

  I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.
  But later, I deleted all partitions on my HARD drive in order to have a primary partition where to install my old Win7.

  However I can't do!

  Now I have 1 GB 119.1 unallocated space and there is no way to create a new partition from it.
  Also when I try to install Win7 it says the disc's style GPT.

  I also tried to convert it from the command prompt, but it does not work.

  You guys have any ideas what to do?
