  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!

• If I increase my laptop ram to third party ram my warranty affected or not

  HII,

  I'm Ved of India (Delhi). I have computer laptop purchase Hp 2230tx in January 2013, its ram is 2 GB is too low for my use.
  But I have 4 GB of additional ram to third. If I install the ram in my laptop, "MY LAPTOP WARRANTY AFFECTED or NOT".

  Thanks in advance

  No, the upgrade of the RAM does not negate the warranty of your laptop. The RAM you install will have its own warranty and is not covered by HP.

  If you have to send the laptop in for repair, they will require the original installed RAM.

• What is the maximum amount of memory in a Pavilion P6020 - Win8 upgrade?

  I can't find what the maximum amount of memory can be placed in the Pavilion P6020.

  As it is necessary to do a re-install of the operating system supplied with the system (Vista), I would check if it makes sense to improve the Win8-64 bit system and increase memory to 3 GB to 4 or even better of 6 GB.

  Currently, the system has 3 GB of memory (1x1GB & 1x2GB), the way in which he indulged.

  This configuration really makes the relative system slow lately.

  Hi, Peter:

  There are several variations of the P6020.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/pfinder?cc=us & DLC = in & LC = on & os = 228 & sw_lang = & Tool = & query = P6020

  I think they all have the same specifications which indicate the maximum memory you can install in the PC is 2 x 2 GB memory (4 GB).

  Before you "sign on the dotted line," to buy Windows 8, go ahead and start the download and it will first run an Upgrade Advisor to check your PC and report incompatibilities.

  Your PC is more than likely won't be supported by HP with windows 8 drivers. My main concern would be the video card, do not have drivers available.

• P7 - 1126 s WIN8 upgrade worked fine until I got clean install. Now stop and sleep do not work.

  I have a P7 - 1126 s running win7 Premium 64-bit and when I've upgraded to windows 8 that everything was working properly. I installed a second monitor without problem. After testing the monitors were operating properly, I shut down the PC to remove the old monitor and when I remved the second monitor and powered on the system. It allowed to to start the system and got stuck on a web page (to detect the Proxy settings) I let it sit for about 30 minutes and forced to withdraw.

  When I rebooted nothing worked. I tried refreshing the PC and rebuild MBR etc... Nothing has worked. MS suggested the clean install. The installation restarts would freeze and I had to manually stop to complete installation.

  The short of it is... Can not stop or put to sleep. What stops the system will power down, but Fans and light PCs remain on. I have to always force shut off. MS works with me, but no luck so far. All drivers have been updated. Several upgrades and reinstalls.

  Why everything worked properly when win7 has been upgraded, but not when win8 was clean installed?

  BIOS FRIEND 7.07, 16/08/2011 8 GB Ram 1 TB HARD drive

  After further investigation, I learned that some drivers Win8 and HP are not compatible. Once update drivers out of HP, then the new facility should be good.

  I rebooted Win7 and then Win8 and everything is great!

• [W520] Warranty affected by hardware upgrades?

  Hello

  a few days ago, I ordered a W520 (4 years of warranty on place + protection). Now, I think the following improvements:

  -increase RAM 8 GB, i.e., install an additional module of 4 GB

  -install an SSD from Intel (mSATA) 310

  My question is: can I install this material myself without voiding warranty?

  I did some research on Google and it seems adding that RAM shouldn't be a problem, right? Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything on the mSATA SSD.

  Kind regards

  Sven

  Yes you can.

• Need for clarification in regards if you upgrade memory and HDD invalidates the warranty/support Dell

  Hello!

  I bought a Dell Inspiron 15 at the end of January. I told the sales guy cat exactly what I needed for and what my budget was. Well, based on his advice, I ended up raising my budget so I could have the best possible computer for my use.

  Now, normally, I don't buy a computer on mine, but the person I usually consult wasn't available, so I thought, Hey, the Dell guy cat must know what he's talking about.

  The computer he sold me a * disk drive (5200 rpm, I think). I told him that I wanted it for the recording software. After I bought it (buyer's remorse), several people told me that he should have sold me an SSD.

  Okay - Here's my thing: I can go buy a SSD and install it. But cancel my expensive service plan and a guarantee that I have? In addition, tech support plan? And regardless if it's a Dell hardrive and I can someone have set up here, or that I have to send the laptop back and have Dell to install one of their SSD to preserve the warranty and service plan?

  Thank you.

  With Dell, you are allowed to replace serviceable by the user on your computer without to as voiding the warranty.  Examples being the hard drives, memory, graphics cards, etc.  If ever you have a problem and need to send the unit for repair, you will need to replace your Dell parts provided those and Dell will only be guaranteed components provided by them.

  Also, you are more then welcome to install yourself, however if damage you something during the installation it will invalidate your guarantee that you caused the damage.

  Yes TLDR you can install anything you want.
