Y410p: Windows 8 and Windows 7?

Hello

I just bought this machine with the intention to downgrade the OS. I go out and buy a USB 32 GB USB and made a "one click" backup first, with windows "Enable the administrator account" as the only existing user.

Then I did a Win 7 Pro 64-bit install. Very few worked because there was almost no drivers that I did a restore of the one click, which went perfectly well and I use 8 the last several days. Today, I downloaded the 7 drivers from the site here, but my wife is shouting at me then please UNIFIL of waiting I finish this before all the answers.

Thank you!

Shiva,

I have no idea where my response to you go but don't go to type it all over again; I should do a "copy / select" before clicking [Preview].

In fact, I'll immediately after this right now to make sure I do it right

Peter

Well, it happened again; When I clicked on [preview] he disappeared... but I copy everything first. Anyway, the machine works fine and the backup has been restored without any problem, so I didn't have to start all over again.

I don't know if I will install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows. I'm - here - do the 64 but will compare software agreements between the two. I was so angry with 8 was read the contract before you do the installation. What a joke when software if you do not agree, do not install. As there is a choice? "I'm pretty old to remember when a software"purchased"person then somewhere around 1982-6 I picked up Electronic Arts ' 7 cities of gold" and read my first lease. I was going to send it back, but I kept it.

So, I will come back here after making a backup of the current configuration (I made a lot of changes and additions) of this system and try to reinstall 7; I think this will be the 32-bit version even if he's going to slow things down a lot.

I should have no problem doing a 7 8 64-bit 32-bit restore, should I? I'll wait until I get a response on this before moving forward.

Thanks again,

Peter

  • New Y410p - what drivers to install?

    Hello

    So I bought a new Y410p last week and the first thing I did was install all important Windows Update.

    Then I installed Windows 8.1.

    Now, I wonder about the necessary drivers.

    Should Lenovos Web site, what drivers I install? Everything that applies to windows 8.1? Or do I need to install the drivers for windows 8 first, then for windows 8.1?

    And do I have to install all?

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_CA/downloads/default.page?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    In an upgrade process, Setup usually picks up device drivers which he uses packaged drivers in the program installation or the internet and upgrades the drivers too. Even if we can't say that all drivers are made compatible with the new version of windows or the drivers are more recent. Therefore, this is the reason why I asked you to check the Device Manager to see if there are all the drivers installed.

  • Windows 8 crashes often and during reboots

    I just got a new Lenovo Y410p the other day. There the new i7 and 2.4 ghz processor haswell. In windows 8, after an update (I think it was due to the updated, but not quite sure), my computer freezes during almost any process anyone surfing the internet, explore, antivirus scans, etc. It does not completely freeze, I can still move my mouse and windows program around, but EACH program rowed terribly and takes a few minutes to complete the simplest of tasks. I constantly have to do a closed down hard because it hangs on reboot screen and does is display "reboot" with the movement of the circle of load and displacement, but it does not restart. If I have too many programs open, my computer crashes. My mouse freezes never really, but programs to make and I can't do anything. It becomes very frustrating. I downloaded all possible win8 updates and tried to download the driver for my graphics card. I tried to run CCleaner to reduce bootups program at startup and to clean the registry. He tries to remove some files not in the registry windows in general but can never finish the deletion of those articles since it crashes.

  • We can establish a common partition for Mac OS and Windows Boot Camp

    I'm new to Mac, so please excuse my ignorance.

    I have a MacBookPro 11 mid-2015 with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

    I have Mac OS X El Capitan and that you have installed 10 Windows using the Boot Camp utility on a 150 GB partition. I wanted a common partition on exFAT which could serve as a repository for my data either of the OS. My intention - 150 GB for Mac OS - 200 GB of data - 150 GB for Windows 10. How can this be achieved?

    Earlier, after the Boot Camp, I reduced the Mac OS to 350 GB partition to 150 GB and released 200 GB. Formatting this turned me expensive because it stopped my Windows to start. Repair it was a waste of time and effort. I draw the hard Windows on a Mac is sensitive to changes in the partition.

    In addition, is using Virtual Box better than Boot Camp? I don't have as much virtualized environments.

    Please advice.

    You can connect an external drive of ExFat formatted. The OSX and Windows can read/write on a disk formatted ExFat.

    A virtual machine has its advantages, as does a Boot Camp facility. A virtual machine allows the simultaneous OS, any necessary initialization to change operating systems. Data can be shared between operating systems more easily. Computer such as memory resources are shared in a VM for applications environment to run slower.

    Installation of Boot Camp allows Windows to run in native mode by using all of the system resources, so apps will go faster. But to change operating systems, a reboot is required. It is more difficult to share data.

  • Why don't the addition of metadata to be added manually in the iTunes library song change metadata in Windows Explorer and anywhere else?

    Adding metadata to a song in the iTunes library has no effect anywhere else (as in Windows Explorer or the Groove music).

    I would like to know if I have disabled this in error or if it is not guaranteed to all visitors.

    Where it is not provided to customers, I would like to know how iTunes stores this metadata and whether it can be automatically sent to the library of Windows.

    Thank you.

    A reason of changes committed to iTunes cannot be is covered in the tip of the user, fix the iTunes for Windows security permissions but iTunes usually returns to the original data if you probably don't see this particular problem. The other possibility is of several tags.

    Several tags (Mp3 files only)

    The ID3 specification allows files to have several tags in different versions and languages, but iTunes does not work properly with simple tags. When multiple tags are present it can sometimes do not apply updates to the tag that reads back (probably update one of the others in the file) and it is also possible that the iPod and iTunes may have different rules for the tag that they give priority to. This could lead to situations where everything is properly organized in iTunes, but then inexplicably collapses on an iPod, or tracks that display different information in Windows Explorer or another media player. There are tags 3rd party editors that allow to manipulate several tags, but I don't have a casual recommendation. A workaround in iTunes is to use the context menu convert the ID3 Tags... > None a few times to remove all the labels, then convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3 to build a cool tag with information still held in the iTunes database. I've read in the past that iTunes is not completely compatible with the specification v2.4, although this may be the case, support is more however for v2.3 is widespread, then I would say using v2.3 to v2.4. All embedded work will be deleted so it must be replaced if wanted. For Windows users running a script named CreateFolderArt before and after the cleaning process tag should handle this.

    Note that some data, for example the sides and the counties of game, is only stored in the database internal iTunes and not surrounded by tags.

  • How can I change the network settings and air play setting up the itunes which is running on my laptop (windows 10)

    A few weeks ago, I was streaming of photos to my TV using my apple TV. Now, whenever I try to play music in my laptop itunes I get the error message "the airplay APPLETV device is not available," he goes on to say "Please check your airtime... configuration and network settings. "I searched for days for these parameters.

    Now the itunes on my laptop has no audio data.

    The only way I can hear the track I'm playing, is to select the option at the foot of the error message that says "use this computer for now" - this gets quite annoying after awhile!

    any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Hello [email protected],

    I understand that you encounter some problems with the sound settings on your PC after using a home since iTunes for Windows sharing.   The resources below has some basic for home sharing troubleshooting. Specifically, I would say the software updates, cycling the power to the modem/router and check the sound settings in Control Panel to do the internal speakers are of course selected.

    Where is the control panel?

    Take care.

  • boot camp and windows 10

    I'm trying to install 10 Windows with Boot Camp Assistant. I'm exactly as shown in all directions. I have a 2012 end iMac 21.5 ". It has a 1 terabyte internal hard drive. I've updated to the latest version of Mac OS x. I downloaded a legal Windows 10 professional image, although it seems not matter since I can't install it. Anyway. I followed all the instructions of the Boot Camp Assistant. I use an external hard drive for WININSTALL. Wizard Boot Camp works very well until it's time to create the partition on the hard disk called Bootcamp. It creates the partition, but does not do anything in this partition. Wizard Boot Camp attempts to boot from the new partition, but obviosly, there is nothing there. I tried to start the WININSTALL disc, who starts and wants to install Windows 10, but he cannot or will not be installed on the Bootcamp partition. You know what says the error message, because others have told you what he said, so I won't repeat. Obviously, Boot Camp Assistant does not use GPT, but rather of MBR to create the Bootcamp partition. I have tried many, many, many times to use Boot Camp Assistant to install 10 Windows internal hard disk, but each time he did exactly the same thing. I guess I'm crazy for trying to do the same thing so many times. Of course, there is something wrong with my iMac, because it seems that others are able to install Windows 10 on their iMac. So, would someone please tell me how to fix the problem so that I can install 10 Windows internal hard disk from the iMac?

    You need a USB2 Flash 8 + GB drive. You may use an external HARD disk, it is still problematic.

    It creates the partition, but does not do anything in this partition.

    BCA is not supposed to, until the Windows Installer starts and copies the files to the internal drive to put Windows on the internal drive. WININSTALL contains all the files needed to install Windows.

    EFI boot needs a GPT disk, the BIOS legacy mode needs a hybrid MBR (collection on a GPT disk standard). Your Mac 2012 preUEFI supports only the MBR properly. EFI boot not work correctly and cause driver problems.

    Run the wizard of BC and delete the current partition. Disconnect the external storage, perform the following two procedures

    Run the BCA and use a flashdrive USB2 (not a HARD drive). The USB key will be erased/formatted. The content of the ISO or Windows 10 DVD will be copied on this flash drive with drivers Apple supporting restart environment that supports your keyboard and mouse and display. Do not interrupt the installation in any way using the Alt/Option key.
