Windows 8 is compatible with this model of laptop computer?

Hello, my hard drive recently bit the dust and I thought that put Windows 8 on that since I get free license through my University. I heard some compatibility issues with some good models and I was wondering if anyone knew if my specific model was ok with it.
The model is a HP Pavilion laptop g6, g6-1b79dx code model

Thank you in advance.

Just see the stickied post on this topic. My apologies, question.

  • Tecra A4-109: is - this 1 GB PC2-4300 DDR2 memory compatible with this model?

    I've had this laptop model Tecra A4 109 for a year and a half. I need to upgrade its 512 MB of memory by default. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?service=EU&action=SHOW_ATTRIBUTES&t ab = 1 & PRODUCT_ID = 102108 & Type = 2319 & family = 2328 & series = 100900 & model = 102108 & x = 98 & y = 14 #1
    from this site, I checked the memory compatible types.

    As this link says "1024 MB (1 GB) memory PC2700 DDR SODIMM (333 MHz), 1 GB PC2 - 4300 DDR2 Memory, 1 GB memory DDR2 PC2-4300" are the compatible memory. (But in the manual of the laptop that is present in the C:\TOOLSCD\manuals, the compatible option only is 1024 MB (1 GB) PC2700 DDR SODIMM (333 MHz) memory).

    I checked a few memories of laptop DDR2 by traders the but they actually wouldn't fit in the memory locations with ease. If I force it to adapt, it can insert into the slot. But there is a chance to have a broken and useless memory. Memory DDR work with 5 volt DDR2 memory work with 2.5 to 4 Volts AFAIK. Of DDR and DDR2 memory slots are also a bit different from each other. Now I'm confused.

    Official web pages of Toshiba says and what I found in the laptop manual are contradictory to each other. Who is telling the truth?

    I'd appreciate the help. Thank you...

    Hello kamel

    I can understand that you are confused, but it is not so complicated. I checked a few pages and here is the result:

    Tecra A4 comes in two different models.
    1 Tecra A4 - PTA40E-xxx (your model). Compatible memory module is 1024Mo PC2700 (PA3313U-2M1G)
    2 Tecra A4 - (PTA42E-xxx). Compatible memory module is DDR2 400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G)

    As you can see that the two hardware platforms are completely different. Copy the PA3313U-2M1G module. It is compatible with your Tecra.

    Good bye

  • Flag 23: HP Pavilion 23 - USB Modem is not compatible with this version of Windows.

    I just got a message saying that the USB Modem is not compatible with this version of Windows. I use a wireless router. What's to worry?

    It is not the number of product that I asked.

    You can find it in a number of places.

    (1) BIOS--> information system tab

    (2) HP Support Assistant at the bottom of the window HPSA.

    If you do not experience a problem marketing online then is there really a problem at all?

    Check in the Device Manager to see if there is a peripheral usb modem it without a driver installed. If it's a real modem, as in for telephone line connection, it isn't something you need to worry.

  • your version of sun java Scheduler is not compatible with this version of windows

    Whenever I turn on my computer this message comes up (your version of sun java Scheduler is not compatible with this version of windows). I went to the java website and they say that I have the latest version of java, and my computer is slow when you try to access some games that I play and require that I have java. I don't know if this is the problem or not but I would like to get this java thing fixed so it isn't pop up whenever I connect.

    Uninstall all versions of Java from your Control Panel programs and features.

    Turn it back on.

    Download and install the latest version here:
