Yoga 20175 13 fresh install UEFI mode

Hello.
I had problems to install a new copy of Windows 8 in UEFI mode lately. The software I'm using is original, and I installed Windows 8 in other laptops with it have no problem. The situation is that it does not work, but I am able to use the computer with Windows 8. Everything goes well during the installation, on the one hand: in the end it does not show me the option to connect to the Internet wireless.

Once I can get to install the Ethernet driver and try to turn it on, it shows me an ad that says that the key is already used by another machine.
I know in the mode UEFI activation code is preloaded into the machine, and I'm not comfortable paying another key.
Is could someone please tell me what I'm missing?

Hi TheTechGal,

AFAIK, the standard license for Windows is 1 license for 1 PC. Unless it's a Volume license key, you will not be able to activate Windows on another PC.

You can also check the PC where you have used the product key and uninstall using the method below so that you can use the same product key to activate Windows on another PC:

  • Lenovo X 1 Yoga (20FQ) clean Windows 10 Pro Install UEFI

    Hello

    I decided to do a clean install of Windows 10 Professional (x 64) on my Lenovo X 1 Yoga (20FQ).

    I'm currently pulling my hair out trying to install Windows 10 in UEFI mode, I want to do so that I can use all the features of the TPM and bitlocker. No matter what I do I was not able to install Windows 10 Professional (x 64) in UEFI mode, I was able to install it in legacy mode.

  • Install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with UEFI mode

    Hello world! So I'm here to talk about the installation of Windows 7 for the UEFI mode and I know a lot of people said it stucks on "Starting Windows" during installation, but I have a few question that my opinion:

    1. If a hard disk has come to Windows 8/8.1 with OEM or retail as installed, it should disable Secure Boot?

    2. If Windows 7 it remains stuck, the solution most is all in a hard drive format after Windows 8/8.1 backup partition and install Windows 7 with UEFI without getting stuck? I need to install it with TPG...

    Hope will understand. ;-)

    Secure boot is integrated in the firmware, not the installation hard disk.

    You can just boot from the installation media and format the hard drive.

    Hey I want to change my boot option to the legacy of the uefi mode mode. can someone help me.

    Hello

    If your HARD drive has of a table partition guid, the current operating system must be installed in mode "uefi" - the only way around this would be to reformat the hard disk with MBR and reinstall the OS using a startup (CD-ROM or USB key) option that does not have a suffix (uefi).

  • G4-2040TX Pavilion: laptop does not start in UEFI mode

    Hi all. I have a problem with my laptop. In my laptop BIOS (InsydeH20 03.72.32F.26), there is an option to turn the traditional way. I formatted my drive of thumb (v220w HP 8 GB) to FAT32 using Rufus and create bootable UEFI with her. After that restart, change the legacy mode to disable, reboot again and it says 'Device not found Boot (3F0)', it's normal right? Since I changed the mode of inheritance, but after you press F9 (menu Boot Device), is empty. Return the error code and press F2 (diagnostic) because it focuses on UEFI too, but what I get is "diagnosis HP worm. 1.6.0.0"and I already installed ver 5.9.0.0, so I made a conclusion that my BIOS is broken/corrupted and touched my UEFI mode. All Solutions? Thanks in advance

    PS: Sorry if I'm a noob or my English is not good

    The tutorial will explain to a GPT format. Article will be also describes the creation of a system associated with EFI partition, which is required for an operating system to boot into EFI mode.

    Disable legacy mode is expected to start-up in EFI if the hard drive and the OS are configured in a GPT partition with a correct BCD file and the EFI partition.

    I would test this on a spare hard drive if I were you. I always do it this way to avoid the startup scenarios when no bad experience types of partitioning. It gives me a 'B' plan to fall back on, just in case things go south.

  • Windows 7 screen resolution is not agree with me after I did a fresh install of Windows!

    So after doing a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop two days ago, I have tried many unsuccessfully to try to resolve a problem of resolution resulting from the update. My resolution is automatically set to a resolution of 1024 x 768 very blurry and I cannot recover my original resolution. When I go to the next option and the last, on the resolution list, 1280 x 1024, the screen is completely distorted and stretched which is hard on the eyes and is certainly not the original resolution for my laptop before the update. It's like installing new Windows completely wiped out my original graphics drivers.

    I also noticed with update that my graphics driver and the driver were set at "NVIDIA Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" which I am absolutely positive is not what I was using before, that I don't have a video card installed, even if I use not this laptop for games and is no longer for the school and other work. I'm 99% sure that I have a card NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 installed, that even though he is old, always worked well, but even in this case, I'm still not sure if it's the card I have, which could be the reason why I can't find the right drivers for it.

    For reference (I'm running in Mode safe):

    I tried to update this standard graphics driver, but he claims, there is no update. I run all my virus programs, I have all my updates installed Windows, and I used the boost driver to try to see if there is any other updates, but nothing has worked. I did a "sfc/scannow". I ran Microsoft FixIt, tried to look in the "list all Modes" under the control panel screen resolution and I currently can't 'uncheck' Modes 'hide' because it is all grayed out. Honestly, I think I have tried everything to solve this problem, but I think he came to where I think I need to ask someone who can find the exact video card I have in my computer so I can possible find the driver for it, and maybe that would solve the problem.

    For reference, I also have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P25-S507. Running Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit. If any other type of information is necessary, I can give him, let me know how to get around to provide for you. I will continue to try to see what I can do but for the moment, help! D:

  • Satellite C660 - need help with the fresh install of Win7

    After a problem with my 660 SatC, I decided to Nuke the hard drive and do a fresh install using a W7 32-bit disk created from the web (there is a free library of Windows 7 iso images (sorry I forgot name).)

    So I got the drive and the drive that has the drive, W7 is now saying that it can't find the device driver for the DVD drive it has been operating just to show him the first screen of W7.

    Looking for drivers for the DVD player but no joy on the web.

    Can someone help me please?

    Maybe stupid question on the start, but why you do not install original Win7 64-bit? I assume that you got your machine with preinstalled operating system.

    > If I had the drive and the drive that has the drive, W7 is now saying that it can't find the device driver for the DVD drive it has been operating just to show him the first screen of W7.
    Sorry, but after reading this sentence I m completely confused and do not know how to understand it. If you have created the bootable installation disk, I hope you were able to successfully install Win7. After the first boot, you continue to install all the necessary drivers, the tools and the utilities that you can find on the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  • 8530w Win7 Home Premium fresh install - Wifi and bluetooth radio off just not online

    Hi all

    I encountered a strange problem. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit edition. I installed all the essential drivers; setting network, wifi, quick launch button drivers HP and others. Wired network works fine. However, the wifi button is orange and does not work on contact. All other keys work well, so I guess we can exclude. The driver is loaded OK and the hardware is connected according to the Intel Pro Set diagnostic tools. However, he also pointed out that the radio switch is thrown off, so the orange light right?

    The radio is off, bluetooth driver moved not because of 'not present material' and I can't enable it.

    I've seen other people with the same problem, but a majority of those who appear to have been related to the HP power management. And as this is a clean install, I don't think that power management is the problem. Just to be safe, I disabled the power management capability in the adapter properties.

    So, is there another way to activate the radio via the software without relying on the button of the Panel wifi? Are there other ways to diagnose the problem?

    Thanks for your help!

    -RAM is good. I tried 3 branches far and I get the same error (another suggested thread it was a problem of RAM)

    -The BIOS is being updated and functional, I went through the settings offered on another thread.

    -There are no files on the hard drive. I tried to format, create partitions, deleting partitions. Nothing has worked.

    -The CD is fine. I ran a set up on top of another system and installed fine. (Yes, I spent a few hours ensuring that my installation disc was good = P)

    I am at a loss to know what to do now. I have not run across a solution to solve this with a fresh install, right on systems 'installed' (i.e. the last config known, Point of system restore, etc...)
