• SOLVED! -Bluetooth not found after Windows 7 upgrade process - U350 only or other institutions?

  Man, I am hoping somone will be able to point me in the right direction...

  Anyway, has received Windows 7 Upgrade disks in the mail and decided to install them today because I had little time. Chose to 'upgrade' to the previous version of Vista (don't hate me for not doing a custom installation, 'clean'), and everything seemed fine, until I realized that my Bluetooth is not working (or even found in Device Manager).

  Run the separate drive Lenovo sent with the Win7 upgrade disk and made me worry more because the installation of driver told me that he could not find a Bluetooth device (which confirmed the same as Device Manager). Tried to download the drivers manually on the internet without success.

  Someone at - it ideas? The only possible 'factor' would be that I usually leave the Bluetooth in Vista, and when I ran the upgrade, Bluetooth was off I would have thought that Win7 would have seen the device anyway (regardless of the situation).

  Thanks to all in advance!

  Really should try to do a Forum search next time (instead of just google)...

  The answer to this was the Fn + F5 to ACTIVATE the Bluetooth module FIRST, before the system would see the in-camera. Once you actually turn, drivers can be installed according to normal... Thank GOD!

  CONGRATULATIONS to all the pioneers who have actually found this in the first place. Hope this was able to help some lost soul who has the same problem a few hours (and installs / uninstalls useless).

• win8 home premium to pro upgrade, says Intel wireless driver is not compatible

  I have a new desire 4 with Windows 8 home preium ultrabook installed. I am trying to install the Windows Pro upgrade, who refuses to continue because my wireless software is invalid for Windows 8. I installed a later version on the Intel website, makes no difference. I tried to remove the offending software and restart and still objects.

  Thanks for the tip, Paul. I've never had this problem with an upgrade of Windows before. I think that really he should let me come up with it and just warn me that he thinks that there is a problem.

My solution was simple - I was really taking the wrong approach. I wanted to spend 8 Win Home Premium to Win 8 Pro and I was using the Windows 8 Pro pack which includes the 32-bit versions and 64-bit disk. They are intended for upgrading from a previous version of Windows to people. I need to take a different approach and "add features to Windows 8", which does not require a disc, as all features are already in 8 Win Home premium, they just need to be unlocked.

• Windows 8.1 for Windows 8.1 Pro upgrade

  Hello

  I recently bought a Lenovo with Windows 8 desktop computer for a customer. I have updated to 8.1 of Windows using my microsoft account. When I went to install it, I discovered that the Office was created with a domain name. I thought that this could be considered and was ready to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro so I could get it on the network.
  I was looking for methods to buy a key, so I could switch to pro.  I wasn't able to stay on site to work on this.
  I studied the process upgrade and read that if you update victory 8 to 8.1 Win of the store, you cannot upgrade to Win Pro 8.1 store and need to get media.  Not sure if this means that I have to buy Windows 8 Pro pure and simple.
  Anyone have the answer to my next step to go pro?

  Yes, you will first need to purchase the Pro Pack Windows 8.1 then update.

• Cannot access Windows software for Information management. Windows XP Professional Windows 8 Pro upgrade will not work.

  It started a month or two ago when the print spooler has stopped working. 'Systems', or had no dependencies. It turns out that none of the services had dependencies, but everything still worked (except the print spooler). Then, I could not access "system information". I tried to restore to an earlier date, that wouldn't work. Tried to do a picture of Macruim Reflect - no luck there either.  My laptop works fine, although slow. Got the printer to work. This lack of progress, I decided I would just upgrade to windows 7, then decided to Windows 8. Me am upgrading of Windows 8 Pro: he went through "preparation" 100% of the screen. On the screen "Get The Latest" I tried 'install updates now' and 'no thank you', the results were the same. On the page "Check your system", he comes back: 'something has happened. Sorry, we're having some difficulty to determine if your PC can run Windows 8. If please close Setup and try again. "He wouldn't have spent so far. The problem may lie in the fact that the upgrade can not see the information system and/or can not say that I am on Windows XP. Is there something I can do for the upgrade to continue?

  Hello

  Most of the older machines running XP are not compatible with the help of Windows 8.

  Follow these steps before you install Windows 8.

  Go to your laptop manufacturer's website and check if Windows 8 drivers are available for your make and model laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 8 does not work for you.

  Download and run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8:

• Windows 7 Pro upgrade for reuse

  My last computer was shipped with Vista Home Premium. I bought Windows 7 Pro update for this computer. The death of this machine, I bought another HP with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I reused my disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade successfully. I have Windows 7 recovery discs that were created before the installation of Windows 7 Pro upgrade. Now, I pre-ordered Windows 8 Pro. When it happens, I would use my Windows 7 recovery discs (Home Premium) to bring the machine to its original state, and then install Windows 8 Pro Upgrade. Then I would use the disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade to upgrade to another computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Will there be problems reusing this disc again?

  Hi flnettles,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  If it is a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own XP/Vista license qualification). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be in the format / deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.
  
  If it is licensed OEM - No. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

  If you have trouble activating Windows 7 you can call Microsoft to activate it by following these steps:
  1. with the operation of Windows, click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
  2. press enter on your keyboard
  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option, then dial the given number and hold for a real person.

• Accidentally deleted Windows 98 when trying to reinstall XP Pro upgrade.

  I wanted just a fresh reinstall of XP Pro, so please help me with my specific problem if you can.  I was using my version of XP Pro to re-intall upgrade.  Instructions for reinstalling confused me and I inadvertently selected an option that has removed the original 98 OS during installation process.  Given that my copy of XP Pro, is to install an upgrade not a complete new OS, I can't proceed because my 98 files are gone: (...) (but perhaps not fatal?)  I stopped the process as soon as I realized that the option I chose was probably not the right, but it seems that it was too late.  Using my XP Pro upgrade cd installation could not proceed when I tried again because the original 98 OS files are now missing. :(

  I got this computer set up with a legitimate 98 and XP Pro upgrade for several years.  I can't find my original of 98 (I can't find it in stock and gives me an injury so I can't dig for it, also, it could be anywhere).  So the problem is this: I need to restore my 98 operation system somehow somehow (without my cd), so I can use my XP Pro updated to get back to where I was, a work computer XP Pro.  That's all.

  Is it possible to do, either by MS support (I was registered through Windows Genuine Advantage or just what it's called so I guess they can check that my BONES were and are indeed legitimate) or can they help me with another installation of 98 so I can re - install usimg my upgrade back to XP Pro? Or another solution? Somehow to restore the deleted files? Please note: I can not afford to buy anything right now, I am out of work right now, so thank you very much in advance for any suggestions and the reasons to buy Windows 7 or buy something else, but these solutions are NOT viable for me right now, but thank you again if you were going to think that.  What I really need help's suggestions as to what can be done to help me get my current system facing up and running using what I have on the spot.

  I appreciate sincerely any help you can offer!

• Has no Audio after than Windows 10 Upgrade on the venue Pro 8

  I upgraded my windows Pro 8.1 for Windows 10 8 coming.  After upgrading my audio system failed.  There is no speaker output.  I can't say for sure, but I guess that the microphone input has also failed.  I tried to address in trying to update the audio drivers, but Windows tells that the installed drivers are up-to-date.  In Device Manager there are two devices reported as follows
  (1) Intel ESS Audio Device (WDM): 604.10135.1010.531 driver Version, dated 25/05/2015.  and (2) codec Realtek Audio I2S: 604.10135.1010.531 driver Version, dated 25/05/2015.  is it okay to have 2 devices like this for audio?   I don't know how to check what audio system is actually present in the material for this tablet.  I'm a little nervous on the uninstallation of one or more of the devices in Device Manager without knowing what device is supposed to be there and where to find the correct driver.   Could someone point me to the correct process to diagnose and fix this?

  FIXED!

  I solved the audio problem rolling back the drivers.   I followed the inst to the 3rd point of windows.microsoft.com/.../fix-sound-problems

  Before doing so, I used the audio Panel to try to diagnose.  When I tried to use "set up" for reading and test selected, I got an error that the system couldn't procduce the sound to send to the President.

  To make the repair, I selected these drivers that were somehow still available on my system.  For Intel ESS, I chose 603.9600.1948.30594 dated 22/11/2013.  This alone has not resolved the problem, because I then changed the driver for the I2S for: Realtek #6.2.9400.4028 dated 30/08/13.  After the system restarts, I returned the audio Panel to test.  SURPRISINGLY, I heard the test sound.

• Sign up for Windows 10 upgrade without applying it again?

  Hello world

  I have a problem where I just built a new computer; However, some parts are a bit Pluss to enjoy a very powerful hardware, which is now on sale for a few cents on the dollar. My plan was always to run it as a workstation running as a dual boot of Windows 10 Pro combined with Ubuntu.

  The problem is that, at least currently, 10 Windows doesn't seem to work on this computer. I ruled out problems with the hardware by performing various tests of memory and heavy benchmarks of CPU/GPU and other parts. In addition, Windows 7 Pro and Linux are completely solid and stable on my machine. It's only 10 in Windows that has a problem. I'm stuck in a situation where even if I own a copy of Windows 7 Pro and WANT to upgrade to Windows 10, I can not actually complete the process.

  It is the question of the title play. Is there a way to get the Windows 10 now upgrade without the application/install, so that I can improve in the future when I hope some driver issue causing failure gets sorted?

  Just in case a person pick up trying to solve my problem of upgrade, I should probably know you what I got. Otherwise, it is unnecessary to read below this line.

  This isn't a case of non-compliant to the minimum requirements. The uses of machines Dual Xeon E5 - 2670 s. So he has 16 cores / 32 threads clocked at 2.6 GHz to 3.3 GHz after turbo, 16 GB RAM, GPU GTX 1070 and a ton of space extra drive since the new SSD that contains the operating system is almost completely empty. This is probably in the ballpark of 50 times as a powerful calculating some of the lowest Atom based 2-in-1 pills I have Windows 10 running with no problems.

  I could install Windows Pro 10 separately, on the clean machine it installing directly from a USB key. Fortunately, I decided to test it out first and was not actually paid to activate it again. 10 Windows systematically planted within approximately 20 minutes to reach the office. Sometimes he would break within seconds or boot even not completely. No combination of drivers that I could install doesn't seem to make much of one difference other than upgrading the motherboard Intel Chipset fichier.inf that actually of much worse things. I tried to reinstall Windows 10, change all the options in the BIOS I could think, removing every extra piece of hardware and even disable the on-board motherboard RAID cards just so that I wouldn't have to install the drivers for them. Windows 10 crashes still in safe mode. The only consistent errors in the event viewer for each accident spoke of Windows not be shut down properly.

  Windows 7 Pro worked perfectly the first time. I thought that maybe an upgrade of Windows 7 could get a little better since it began with the basic drivers might be different. However, my guess is that the upgrade process should run on a basis of different software that the clean install because the upgrade always results in a random crash (different locations each time) which means of course that do the upgrade is impossible.

  If anyone has any ideas on the upgrade that I have not tried, I'm all ears. However, I think I hit all the low-lying fruit, so I just want to know if there is a way to register for the upgrade so that I can try it again a year or two from now when maybe they will have addressed the issue.

  I think whats causing the upgrade to fail is the complexity of the installation itself.

  Unfortunately, Windows 10 must be installed and enabled to take advantage of the free upgrade.

  There is one way, you might be eligible for it.
