Windows 8 system refresh

Hello

recently I had problems with my windows 8 so I think it's refreshing. I know that that means he retains my data but reinstall windows.

But I don't have a windows 8 with my PC I have it improved 7. My question is if I update windows does that mean it will be windows 7 or will it stay on 8. I do not have a disk or anything I put on day of purchase online. Thank you.

Hi Jet,

When you try to perform the update, it will ask for a recovery media. Recovery media, which is usually on a disk drive or DVD boost. Given that you have upgraded to Windows 7, you must create recovery media, where you don't have.

If you have the Windows 8 key upgrade, you can download and install Windows from this page using only your product key.

Update Windows with only a product key

Once you have created the Windows installation media using the steps listed in the link above, you can perform refresh using the media.

Note:

Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

I hope this helps. Let us know the status of the issue.

  • Acer programs due to Windows 8 system update on Aspire 5750 lost

    I have upgraded to Windows 8 and done a refresh of the system because of problems of access to the internet. The internet access problem has been fixed, but now I have a status message in the devices list telling me that the Base system driver is missing. It appears twice in the other devices section. If I click on update driver, he told me that he does.

    What is going on? How can I reload the Acer basic system elements. The documentation refers to go into start/Acer, etc. However, in Windows 8, there is no start button and software Acer does not appear on the new startup screen.

    In the system Refresh process, he created a document on the desktop called "deleted Applications. Inside, it lists many programs of Acer and other drivers are part of the system. I don't have a recovery disc, so how can I restore all these objects?

    FINALLY! I solved the problem myself with a hint of the tech support guys at my typical products where I bought the laptop. It turns out that all software Acer & pilots is in a hidden directory named OEM, Preload, Autorun, AutorunX. Then, you run the executable file, AutorunX, that lists all the available programmes & drivers. You must install them one at a time, and many require a restart. The only one that does not reinstall was MyWinLocker.

    I couldn't find these before because the search function of Windows 8 is not like HIDDEN files/directories. I need to know if I can change a setting somewhere for that!

    Now, I'm downloading all the apps day & drivers for Windows 8 on the Acer website. It is too long and tedious.

    Then, I'll do the eRecovery discs so that I'll have a starting point fees if I encounter problems later.

    So are all that I lost 2 months of emails and I will contact Windows Live to see if he could still be on my drive somewhere.

    Once more I keep everyone not to use the cooling system in Windows 8, unless you realize that it will scan all your programs and many pilots.

    I am always disappointed with Acer for not having anypne who could tell me that the Acer programs I was looking for were on my drive all along. Instead I spent more than $20, you are ordering of recovery disks that I didn't need and several hours of frustration of my time that I'm never going back.

    Hello

    I'm afraid that, as most of the troubleshooting steps have been tried before without much success, only two options remaining to recover operating systems are:

    (a) the system restore:

    System Restore helps you restore system files from your computer to an earlier point in time. As a general rule, you want to restore your computer to a restore point created before the date and time when you started noticing problems. The descriptions of the restore points are created automatically with the name of an event, such as Windows Update to install an update. System Restore returns your computer to the State it was in before the restore point that you choose.

    To learn more about how to run system restore you can follow this link given below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/restore-system-files-and-settings

    NOTE: However, it is said that the system restore does not affect your personal information such as e-mail, documents, photos, videos, etc., but it is quite possible that some of your personal files are removed during the restoration of the system.

    During the restoration of the system, there may be errors and those errors can damage the files that are present in the system. And turn off your computer during the restore process may also lead to the loss of files. Sometimes, when the restoration of the system is down, it can lead to the loss of important files as well.

    (b) in the upgrade of the Place:

    An upgrade on the spot is the final solution before you have to reinstall the operating system.
    Note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

    Note: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    HP1000-1b10au

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the choice of a Windows operating system for your laptop and wanted to help.

    For the "best performance", you clearly have the right drivers - and the latest OS for which HP provides drivers for your laptop is Windows 8.  These same drivers would work in Win8.1.

    If you choose Win10 instead, there is no HP drivers and you'd be stuck using the drivers provided by MS and provide only the most basic features.

    Once you install Win8.1, then download and install this utility to prevent it to be updated to Win10: RCMP | Never10

    Good luck
