Satellite L300-13R PSLB0E - Upgrading Vista Operating System to Windows 7

Hi. Had my laptop for a couple of years now using Vista operating system. I'm thinking of doing a brand new clean install of Windows 7x64.
Is this possible on this laptop and how easy will it be? I'm no techy but am worried that if I do the clean install, I will lose my drivers etc.
Also, is there anyway of putting back on to the laptop the Toshiba programs - face recognition etc etc?

Hey,
Clean installation of Windows is always a good idea because after such a clean installation it will run much faster and I do this every 1-2 year to improve the performance.
Furthermore Windows 7 is faster than Vista so I dont use Vista anymore.
As MisterX wrote for Satellite L300 you can find all drivers and tools on Toshiba page:

  • HT4527 While upgrading my operating system to Windows 7, I backed up everything on external drive.  However the drive is corrupt and lost my music.  Since I have an iPhone I had the music there as well, I synced it and it erased everything. How can I get

    While upgrading to Windows 7, I backed up everything on a external drive; it became corrupt so I could not access my music library for iTunes.  However, I had my music on my iPhone as well so I assumed it will sync.  It did sync but not the way I thought, so I lost years of music and favorite uploaded CDs.  How can I recover it?  I lknow you can acess iTunes from 4 computers so the database is there somewhere.  Unfortunately all I was able to recover is the music purchased from iTunes directly.  It makes me wonder about the iCloud product; if I cannot find my music what is my incentive to buy iCloud?  It seems like they are starting to charge for something that they provided before freely, then messed up the updates and software so that we need to pay for this service now.

    iCloud never stored music. That is what the iTunes Match service is for.
    The only way to get back non-iTunes-purchased music is to import them to your new iTunes library however you did it on your old computer.

  • I want to keep my current firefox session (which is around 50 tabs) after I have upgraded my operating system to Windows 7, how do I do this?

    As above, I want to retain my current firefox session after I have upgraded to Windows 7

    The ''sessionstore.js'' file in your profile folder stores your currently open tabs and windows. You can create a backup copy of this file and place it in your new Firefox profile.
    * [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    To be extra-safe, it's a good idea to right-click a tab and choose '''Bookmark All Tabs''', then create a backup copy of your bookmarks for safekeeping.
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]

  • Satellite L300-13R - WLAN not working on Windows 7

    Hi i am using Windows 7, it can't detect the wireless device, says i need to reinstall driver, the vista and xp driver wont install as they say they dont support my opperating system.
    I currently have to plug in ethernet cable to get internet. I am using a Toshiba Satellite L300-13R PSLB0E.
    Please could I have some help, many thanks.

    Hi!
    I think this is not a problem. Windows 7 is only a beta OS and at the moment the driver support is not so good.
    Maybe you will find some drivers on the manufactures website from the WLAN card. In your case it should be Realtek.
    Bye

    I currently have Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit (not happy with it at all)  I am currently in the middle of reformatting it for the third and final time.  I want to upgrade the operating system to Windows 7 64 bit.  Will I be able to re-download my original purchases of Photoshop and Lightroom from January 2010??

  • Re: IMPORTANT - How to install Windows 2000 on a Satellite L300-16M (PSLB0E) ?

    Hello,
    I'm an independent developper and absolutely need to install several operating systems on my *Satellite L300-16M (PSLB0E)* : it's very important for me because I've to check working of piece of software under every environment for real (not using solutions like VMware, for example).
    Well, so, at this time, I've done an Acronis TrueImage backup of original full HDD, then deleted original WinRE and Data partitions, reduced and moved at beginning of disk the Vista partition... and installed System Commander 8 to prepare my future multi-boot. At this time, all sounds right : Vista works perfectly !
    Also, note I've configured SATA in Setup BIOS to be in "Compatibility" mode ; just because I don't need AHCI in my type of use !
    Second stage : now, *I have to install Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) FR*. Of course, I'm aware that the blocking point is the SATA/AHCI driver, wich is absent in the Win 2K CD... So, I've just made a new CD integrating these drivers using nLite ; at this time, I've tried using driver from Toshiba's XP Drivers page and Intel site about Intel 82801 HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controlleur (ICH8M).
    But it doesn't work completely : the Win 2K install starts... All drivers are well loaded (including the AHCI ones) and just after this loading step, I get a black screen with just a blink cursor at top left of screen... indefinitively :-(
    I've also tried to switch SATA to "AHCI" mode in BIOS and it's the same.
    So, what to do next ?
    Do I've used the wrong AHCI drivers ? Do I need to incorporate the maximum of Toshiba Drivers (about chipset, display, sound) in the Windows 2000 install CD using nLite ? I mean until the CD capacity is not reached.
    Is there a way or tutorial to install Windows 2000 somewhere ? For XP, I think it will more easy because SP3 seems to support AHCI, but, just now, my problem is to install Windows 2000 : even if Microsoft wants to leave-it, there are a lot of professionals who still use-it... And my job, as developer, is to do my software works on this OS too ! *I really need to find a way to install it on this computer !!!*
    Awaiting your lighted replies and all tips or idea which could help me to achieve the task.
    In one word : HELP ! oops !

    Thanks xaver, but I've already tried stormng-20070827133046.zip and it remains the same :(
    About all driver ? Oh, in fact, I'll try to see if the XP ones work and if not I'll have a not-fully working Win 2K, but it will be enough for me to test my programs... I hope, at least, I'll be able to do display driver work !
    Well, seeing I don't succeed using Intel/Toshiba drivers and nLite, I'm trying at this time to go through another way, installing Win2K in a VMware, then forcing install of the Toshiba AHCI driver, then doing a TrueImage of this and restauring in the Toshiba ! I'll see...
    However, if someone has an idea, don't hesitate.
    EDIT : I'm now at the step to try to force the Store Manager driver from Toshiba (the one given for this model under XP), launching iata_cd.exe and after some second I see a message saying that this OS (Windows 2000) is not supported by this driver... So, from now, I clearly know why this driver failed when I gone through the nLite-customized Win2K CD install directly on the Satellite :-(
    So, this change the game : does it exist a Windows 2000 compatible driver for the Satellite L300-16M's AHCI Controller ??? This is the question !
    If you have the answer, very thanks to tell me, of course...

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
    Thank you.
    Brian in the UK.

    Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

    You can't. Nothing that runs under v10.1.1 can run 10.5.8.
    No MacBook Pro can run under v10.1.1.
    So something in your post is wrong.

    v4 is pretty lonh in the tooth now, and GB only costs $15, so I'd think it's a good idea

    the only version you can buy new is v6,a nd it should open older projects without issue ... however you could keep 4 around:

  • I have mac os x 10.6.8 and I want to upgrade my operating system

    How do I upgrade my operating system.

    First, which OS do you want to upgrade to?
    Here are some requirements for the OS X versions after Snow Leopard. See if your MBP qualifies for any of these.
    OS X Lion 10.7.5
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
    Mavericks is free. OS X Lion and Mountain Lion would need to be purchased and you would have to call Apple Sales (800-MY-APPLE  USA) to purchase a redemption code; then redeem it at the App Store.

  • I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive

    I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive, how to solve this problem?

    Try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined below:
    Troubleshooting an external hard drive
    > Unplug the hard drive, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in
    > Restart the computer
    > Unplug any other peripherals from the computer
    > Plug it into a different USB port
    If none of those steps work, see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.
    Checking a disk with Disk Utility
    To check a disk using Disk Utility, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
    > Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
    > Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
    > Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Once Disk Utility is opened, check to see if your external HD appears on the sidebar. If it doesn't appear at first, try the troubleshooting steps above again while leaving Disk Utility open, each time checking to see if the external HD appears.
