Does anyone know about installing Win 8 Pro or Win 10 on a Z5771?

I have tried to put Win 8 Pro on my Z5771 after the failure of win 10. I had win 8 on it last year after installing a patch file from acer. The Win 8 version was not working well so I reverted to Win 7 Premium. But after attempting Win 10 and on the advice of an Acer technical support officer. I reset my acer to factory conditions, installed all the updates (3 years worth) and win 10 still aborted. Now I cant install win 8 either.

It's not entirely clear which operating system originally came pre-installed on your computer.  After you post that information, you should get some better/detailed answers than mine.  Because, I don't know if you've altered your BIOS settings and I don't know what product key is embedded in your BIOS, and I don't know what patch Acer provided for you and I don't know how computer savvy you are and I don't know if you have your files backed up and your recovery partition backed up. However, you will eventually need these links: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media http://forum.crucial.com/t5/The-Cru/Reset-your-SSD-to-factory-settings-Windows-DiskPart/ba-p/162503 http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers Edit: There's two ways to use the windows 8.1 installation USB from link above.  You can either install windows 8.1 pro or you can install windows 8.1 and allow windows update to update you to the pro version.  Not sure which method will work for you. If one method doesn't work, you'll have to start over and create a new USB and try the other. Edit2:  If you haven't already done so, you should also create recovery discs/USB/drives before you proceed with diskpart clean and/or any attempt at installation. http://community.acer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/Windows-7-Recovery-options/ta-p/59667 http://community.acer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/Windows-8-Recovery-options/ta-p/60811

    Restore the phone using iTunes. First time restore your backup. If the problem is not fixed restore again, and this time set up as New.

  • Does anyone know when the Mac Pro switched from ATA to SATA DVD Drives

    Does anyone know when the Mac Pro switched from ATA to SATA DVD Drives ?
    I tried to find this answer online but failed.

    Appears the Mac Pro (Early 2008) is the last model to suggest Ultra ATA/100 optical.
    And with an optional card, use Serial Attached SCSI via Mac Pro Raid.
    This kind of information gets sketchy in that the hard drive bus and other parts are SATA
    and only this (and earlier) model Mac Pro has optical drive interface w/ Ultra ATA/100. The
    logic board on the early 2008 appears to have two Serial ATA ports, 3.0GBPS; so to check
    these, you may need to look into specification in iFixit.com repair guides, any takeapart
    guides, and note specifications in everymac.com and those from mactracker.ca.
    The MacPro after Early 2008 model build series (Early 2009) appears to sport an optical
    drive with 18x speed, compared to Early 2008 & before, whose drives indicate 16x spec.
    Other changes may be indicated by certain parts and differences; processors, graphic
    support, and those kinds of things. 2008 shows dual-core, afterward, quad-core.
    So on what little I found, that would appear to be the divide or when optical drive spec
    on the logic board changed from Ultra ATA/100 to SATA versions. But double check.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Does anyone know about the JTF_PF_REPOSITORY table & its purpose?

    Hi folks,
    Does anyone know about the JTF_PF_REPOSITORY table & its purpose? we looked at the data in this table and it seems like it is storing a whole bunch of page related data.
    Can this table can be purged?
    Any pointers will be very helpful.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Why do you want to purge this table?
    If you want to delete your personalization or pages just use functional Administrator responsibility or use jdr_utils.delete_document().

    It would appear you have some sort of notification set up and have yet to look at the app which is sending the notification to the phone.
    You would have to first determine which app is sending the notification and then change the settings in that app to disable notifications if you no longer want to be alerted by that app.

    Give me some advice. Thanks.

    No.
    I do not believe Apple would allow something like that.

  • Does anyone know about the Mackeeper? Is it needed to protect my mac?

    Does anyone know about mackeeper? And is it needed to protect my macbook?

    Don't download mackeeper!
    1st: when you get the pop-ups, they will get worse over time. I heard from other people they even could'nt open their Safari anymore. The problem with mackeeper pop-ups is that they you can't view a website before you press some buttons of them (wich leeds to problems) and that they aren't pop-ups from the site you're viewing (so the site you're viewing don't get paid for it).
    To avoid this pop-ups: download glimmerblocker!
    Really search on internet if you can trust it (I also did), but you'll see it's safe. Really great software. Since I downloaded it, and put it on, I never got these problems anymore!
    I never downoaded mackeeper but still the pop-up would show up more frequntly over time, really frustrating.
    2nd: When you download it, you got some serious problems. It isn't good software at all. It slows your mac to a new level. I don't know what to do  in this case.

  • Does anyone know about a Lemon Law on cell phones

    HHello I would like to know if anyone knows about a 'lemon Law' on new cell phones that have had to be replaced 4 times now.  Verizon keeps wanting to send me a Like New Refurbished    cell phone. And after going thru so much with these cellphones, I don not want another like-new one. I have the Samsung -s4 and have had nothing but problems with it. I read Verizon contract about replacements and it says that they can send you " A new one, a Like-new refer ones , or ones that is like the first new one. But all I keep getting from then is we can only send you a  Refurbished one. Not Cool! I have been going round and round with Verizon for over two weeks now spending hours on the phone not counting the 5 hours I spent in town at the Verizon store. So if anyone could please help me to see how I can go about getting a New Samsung s4 or better instead do someone else's give backs I would be so ever Grateful to you. Agape P. Craig

        Hello P.Craig,
    I'm definitely saddened to learn of the issues that you're having with your device. We always want your device to meet your expectations. When it comes to replacements under warranty, the manufacturer of your device (Samsung) does offer replacement for the same make/model. I do apologize for the troubles with your device. Although we would be unable to offer a new or alternate device, we may have an alternative option. Have you attempted to reach out to Samsung directly http://bit.ly/VTrvxQ for assistance? Please keep us posted, thanks!

    EverWeb has built in SEO and it is not hard to do.  All you do is add all the headings etc as you go along whilst in the application and at the same time as you create your pages.  Nothing more to it and you don't need anything extra to be able to do it.  It is not complex and is not a lot of hard work either.
    WordPress is not dependant on whether you use a Mac or a PC.  WordPress is all done on line, so is accessed from any Mac or PC - it is internet based, so you access your site online.
    You either use WordPress.com or WordPress.org and if you use WordPress.com, it is free and you publish to the WordPress servers.  If you use WordPress.org you need to install this on a web host of your choice and build your site online.
    You can use WordPress locally on your Mac, but to be able to install it on your Mac, you need to download something called MAMP from the internet so that you can run WordPress locally because it is a Content Management System (CMS), it uses a database, which is why you need a web host to run it.
    If you don't understand WordPress, then perhaps EverWeb is a better way to go for you.

  • Does anyone know about a hard drive being corrupted by travelling from a Mac to a PC then back again?

    Ok, so I wrote a bunch of data to a Seagate ST2000DL003 3.5 inch 2TB Hard Drive - mac formatted - then put it into a PC and it couldn't read the drive. But when I plugged the drive back into the mac pro the drive was unreadable/corrupt. Does anyone know what's happened and is this data recoverable?

    Use Disk Utility "Repair Disk" and see what it says. It may be trivial and easily fixable.

  • Does anyone know about an app.......

    Does anyone know of an app that I can download that will read me my e-books? I have CourseSmart. I mainly need it for my commute, which is 45 minutes there and 45 minutes back. It could be useful so I could be read to during that 1.5 hours. Thanks apple users.

    Restore is about the only option left, short reinstalling the whole thing as new.
    Before you restore, go to I tunes and turn off automatic sync.  Then plug the machine in.  Upload any photos that you have taken with the pad into I photos, or where ever you keep your pictures.  Then, in I tunes, transfer any purchases.
    If any apps or purchased music get lost in the process, you can download them again for free.
    You do not want to make a backup of what you have on the pad now. If you do, when you restore, you will simply recreate the same problem.
    What you want to do is restore from a prior backup.  Do that. 
    Then run the system status app and see what the CPU numbers look like.  If they are ok, then you can start to re add apps until the problem shows up.
    If this does not do it, then the last step is to set the pad up as new.  Check the numbers, then add the apps and settings back one by one.    While it is likely to be an app, it may be a setting somewhere.
