Win8 pro on Vostro 470 for msdn DVD installation

Hello, we recently purchased a Dell Vostro 470 and try reinstalling using msdn win8 pro dvd and we can't make the dvd to boot uefi mode, so my question is:

How will I know if the dvd is compatible uefi?

Is there a method to do an install clean mode dvd and win8 uefi?

Is there any place on my vostro where I can find the win8 product key pro and if so can I use this key to download the image iso compatible microsoft uefi?

Thanks in advance.

Hi jcgalvez,

The latest Windows 8 operating system is compatible with the UEFI BIOS. You need to activate the UEFI mode in the BIOS and the Secure Boot . Then start the system with the bootable Windows 8 Pro DVD to start the installation. You can refer to additional measures in the link below.

Also I suggest to download the latest version from the msdn Web site and try to install early versions of Microsoft has had issues with UEFI BIOS.

If the system is delivered with Windows 8 configured then the product key of Windows 8 is under construction on the system board. If you use the msdn download, you will have with the operating system product keys.

Please let me know the operating system that came with the system.

    We do not have the software 10.8 HP for your printer posted on hp.com and yet, once that happens, you can just download and install. You don't need to do it though, in order to get your printer running on your new Mac.  Simply connect your printer, on the sur le meme same wireless network or via a USB cable, add in printing and fax and let the operating system find and install the software from the Apple software update.  You will be able to the printer and scanning will however be of Image Capture.

  • I want to have a dual system of Windows of Windows 8 Pro and windows 7 Home Premium. I upgraded from my old BONES (Win7HP) for Win8 Pro. Is it possible to recover my old OS back to get a double window system?

    My laptop, a series of satellites M840 Toshiba (i7 processor), which I bought in mid June 2012. Because my laptop is eligible for Windows upgrade offer, I decided to upgrade the old OS (Win7 HP) to the new operating system (Win8pro) for just a price of $ 17.99 (should be USD). After the upgrade, I discovered that I could have 2 OS on a single disc, but it was too late because I already upgraded to Pro Win8. I have a backup before I installed Pro Win8, so can I use this backup to recover my old OS and continue to have a dual operating system on a hard drive? and my key Win8 Pro can be used again on this same laptop? I also improved my Win8 Pro with Windows Media Center. Thanks for your help in advance!

    Your key to upgrade of Windows 8 is good for use on another computer, so it is used to upgrade whatever operating system is on a different computer.

    There is no way for a dual boot of the host operating system with an upgrade disc.

  • Satellite A200 - need driver for CD/DVD drive

    Hey people.

    Recently installed WXP Pro on my laptop A200 PSAEC, so I'm now in dual boot XP and Vista on my laptop.

    Problem is that I have all the drivers doesn't work on XP and everything works perfectly, but when I tried to burn a DVD, Nero said the recorder cannot burn DVDs. In 'My Computer', the drive shows up as a DVD - RW drive, but when I insert a blank DVD, it says CD drive. The drive shows up as "TCSDcor" CD/DVGW TC - L6 #2D "" in Device Manager. I searched a driver, but it is impossible to find an exact match for this drive and there is no driver optical drive on this section of driver from the Toshiba site. The only thing I found is an executable file of the firmware upgrade, but it throws an error saying that it is the wrong drive.

    Anyone got any ideas?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    You don't need a new driver for CD/DVD drive because it s a part of the operating system. So, you won't find one.

    I think you should try to remove the upper and lower filters in the registry. I did the same thing a few days ago, if I also had problems with my CD/DVD player and it worked for me! :)

    Anyone know where I can get the necessary support to install a second hard drive in my Vostro 470 mount

    I contacted Dell and someone called me on the problem.  She said that she would arrange for a pair of hooks to be sent to me.  They arrived the next day.  Excellent service.  But the cost of a pair of metal brackets, it would be better if they were included in the machine in the first place.

    For other reasons I now decided, after further discussions with Dell, to change the machine to a new Optiplex 9010.

    Once ISO finished download, the installation program will take several minutes to check download and unzip the installation files. When you are prompted to choose an installation option, choose "install by creating media".

    If you decide that the installer to create a support of USB flash drive, or save the ISO file.

    If you choose the ISO, the ISO file (Windows.iso) will be saved on your PC and you will be able to burn to DVD.

    If you do a search on Google you will find a lot of results on this error message and in general it s associated with the middle of the installation (DVD itself).

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    The easiest option if you have friends nearby (those living with tech), is to borrow a DVD USB drive and plug it into the laptop for a few minutes so that you can download your software.

    You can buy this kind of tech pretty cheap, too.

    If you have your key, it should be in the CD box, you can probably download Microsoft Office - according to the version - and just use the key you already activate it.
