From win 8.1 to win 7

hi,
i'm Antonio from Italy, iam sorry for my english.
I bought a LENOVO G50-70 59421783, but i would like to replace windows 8.1   that i found on the notebook, with win 7.
Anyway i want to keep the chance to install the factory condiction, i made the backup with Onekey Recovery and i put the files on an external harddisk. However when i start the Onekey Recovery from the turned off laptop, it doesn't find my externad disk...How can i solve this problem?
Once i will have solved this problem i would lile to ask some other explanations:
1. in order to install win 7 i read that i would be supposed to:
a. put disabled instead secure boot here:
[url=http://postimg.org/image/t17hdrxpt/][img]http://s8.postimg.org/t17hdrxpt/foto_1.jpg[/img][/url]
b. put legacy support instead UEFI here:
[url=http://postimg.org/image/tfder4775/][img]http://s8.postimg.org/tfder4775/foto_3.jpg[/img][/url]
is it correct ?
2.then is there a way to istall win 7 from the external drive?
In the previous versions of bios i could decide the startup from USB, how can i do the same here?
3.Even if i will replace win 8.1, its key will stay stored inside te ROM?
Would it work with any copy of win8?
4. In the case that i shoud send my laptop in assistence, i would be required to return to initial conditions?
5. If i decided to add a RAM sim, could it affect the validity o the warranty?
thank you very much,
Antonio.

Since OKR cannot find your external drive, just copy your backup image to D:. OKR should now be able to find the image.

  • How can I merge email from a Win 7 to a Win 8.1 Thunderbird app?

    I have Thunderbird running on two PCs. One is Win 7 and the other is Win 8.1. I have used both so the Profile folder is set up in both PCs. I am planning on going to only the Win 8.1 PC. How can I get the email messages from the Win 7 PC merged with those on the Win 8.1 PC?

    I downloaded and installed ImportExportTools and was able to export mail from the Win 7 PC but when I try to import it into existing files it doesn't work. The instructions you point to only give instructions on how to export files but not importing and the Thunderbird Import will only import files from other email clients and not from other files. How does one import the files from Win 7 Thunderbird into Win 8.1 Thunderbird?

  • Upgrade from xp 32-bit to win 7 pro 64-bit

    How can i get my bootcamp partition to upgrade to windows 7.
    What i have to do is restart windows and start the win 7 installer when win xp isnt booted.

    I have successfully installed windows 7 and am posting from it now. Just two issues thought that i need some help with. So on the side of my mbp there is a headphone socket; it has a red light shinning out of it. Also the speaker volume on the macbook itself is like 1/4 the normal max sound. Since they are both audio im thinking they are related. I inserted my snow leopard disc and installed all drivers and the issue persists. I also tried inserting headphone in and out to see if the light would shut off but it didn't. Anyhow is there a fix for these issues?

    To confirm, al songs are already in your iTunes library of current computer, and they all play using iTunes (on the computer)? 
    And you are saying all the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to the nano without any problems?  But NONE of the other songs (that are NOT from the iTunes Store) can be synced to the nano, or SOME of them?

  • SCOM 2007 server OS upgrade from 32 bit Win 2003 SP2 to Win 2008 R2 64 bit

    Dear Experts,
    We are planning to upgrade where in SCOM 2007 R2 presents on 32 bit Virtual Machine Win 2003 SP2 to Win 2008 R2 32 bit or 64 bit. Though OpsManager Database is already upgraded to SQL 2008 R2 from SQL 2005. So No pblm with DB upgradation.
    So my point is If I go ahead to upgrade from Win 2003 (SCOM 2007 R2 resides) to Win 2008 R2 does it create any impacts on SCOM 2007 R2 environment ? Please let me know the procedure for this or any documentation is available to complete this.
    Thanks in advanced!

    Firstly,
    Please note that you can only upgrade an OS to the same architecture (i.e. from x86 to x86, and not to x64). See the following Support Article about supported upgrade paths for Windows Server 2003: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/951041?wa=wsignin1.0.
    Therefore, if you plan to upgrade to a x64 architecture, you will need to perform a new installation, and not an in-place upgrade. If you are going that route, I'd suggest skipping Windows Server 2008 R2, and try to push to Windows Server 2012 if not Windows
    Server 2012 R2; to more future-proof your environment.
    Further, If you are going to perform a new OS installation (to move into x64 architecture), why not also utilize the "new installation" requirement in that scenario to also upgrade to System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager?
    The base scenario would be for you to perform an in-place upgrade of Windows Server 2003 x86 to Windows Server 2008 R2 x86. Except, there is no x86 version of Windows Server 2008 R2, only x64! Note: Windows Server 2008 (without the 'R2') has an x86 option.

  • How to Downgrade Windows 8.1 to Win 7 enterprise using Win 7 upgrade media installed on the DVD ???

    Hello Team,
    I have installed the windows 8.1x32 SL ENG OEM licensed version on my business computer. 
    Now I want to downgrade it to WINDOWS 7 using a windows 7 upgrade DVD. Also I have the volume licensing key with me of Windows 7 enterprise edition. Right now , I am willing to install it on ONLY ONE computer.
    So, all I need is your help in the installation process .......install now & next steps of installation.

    Actually that's where you are wrong, according to Microshaft's website, Windows 8.1 PRO installations have "downgrade rights" BUT ONLY to Win 7 PRO or Win Vista Business (BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's a joke)
    http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/downgrade_rights.aspx#fbid=-wiBOot8mXl
    Sadly this leaves Enterprise/Business editions out of the question...This has been extremely bothersome considering BitLocker is only included in Win 7 Business and higher (Being part of a HIPPA compliant Mental Health Agency this is EXTREMELY important
    to our functioning, especially now that TrueCrypt has ended their support and no longer even offers a download that will let you encrypt the system drive! Leaving us fumbling around trying to find a new solution)
    Actually as I wrote this, I uncovered this amazing little PDF from Microsoft explaining with exact details
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/8/9/68964284-864d-4a6d-aed9-f2c1f8f23e14/Downgrade_Rights.pdf
    You must upgrade your Windows 8.1 Pro to Enterprise Edition (I've been told the upgrade is only 40$ (USD)) then you may Downgrade to Win 7 Enterprise...Still a little bit obnoxious just to downgrade but if you aren't working for a company with 100s of PCs
    (Like me) I guess it's not so bad.

  • How to remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp

    I want to completely remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp. I followed the steps in bootcamp assistant and it appears to remove the win 8 partition. However when starting a new win 7 bootcamp partition and installation setup still thinks win 8 is being used. how do I get it to recognize the win 7 now being installed from the usb drive? This is on an iMac 27 late 2012 with OS x 10.10.1

    Hi Janesdf,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are looking for Windows downgrade on your Ideapad N580.
    Before doing any changes in the system HDD partition or with Windows OS, I suggest you to create the system recovery media and then you can downgrade the OS. But you require Windows 7 recovery media.
    Hope this helps.

  • Upgrade win 7 Pro to win 8.1 Cannot access Homegroup

    I have a Dell Desktop which was the computer that I created my homegroup on. I have a total of  6 computers on my home network. When I upgraded from Win 7 pro to Win 8 pro. It asks me to join homegroup. When I click on join, the computer spends several
    minutes "verifying password". Then it asks me for the password and I enter the correct one that was used before the upgrade. The CPU spends several more minutes grinding away before telling me, "Windows no longer detects a homegroup on this
    network. To create a new homegroup, click OK, and then open HomeGroup in Control Panel." I click OK. I go back to the HomeGroup in control panel and it tells me I have created a homegroup on this computer (actual names not included for security reasons)
    and only gives me the option to join. If I click join I go through this same process again....
    I ran the troubleshooter and no problems are detected. I asked for more help and that's how I eventually got here.

  • Win XP Pro to Win 7 for 64 OS

    I want to upgrade from Win XP Pro to Win 7 to take advantage of it's 64 bit OS capability and to go beyond the 3GB ram limitation in XP Pro.  Do the applications in the CS4 Design Premium utilize the additional ram if I have 12GB of ram in my computer and the power of 64 bit processing?

    Bob,
    Thanks for the quick reply.  So, if I understand your comments correctly, each of the CS4 apps will run with 2GB of ram and Photoshop is the only one that runs in 64 bit if I were to install Win 7.  I won't be running multiple apps but plan to install 12 GB of ram to get some more robust performance out of some apps and try to avoid "out of memory" issues when working with large files. 
    For example, I scan drawings in TIFF format for archiving and then open them in Photoshop to convert to jpg for modification.  These color scanned images are many times 36 x 48 plans @ 200 dpi and generally range from 1GB to 1.5GB in size.  Oftentimes if they are in TIFF format I can't do a save as because of an out of memory alert.
    Thanks again.

  • How do I install fonts from Type On Call into Win 8.1

    I have been using Trade Gothic Condensed as my default Excel font for many years. Each time I get a new computer I have been able to install the font in the new OS. I am having trouble doing that with Win 8.1. It says it is installed but does not appear in my list of Fonts, yet the Myriad font comes up fine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions how to install the Trade Gothic font in my new Win 8.1 computer?
    Many thanks
    George

    There are strings in the pliist file to add other Macs so that you can use some USB-DVD drives.
    This is 5 page thread, so a little more 'meat' to it:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3410900?start=60&tstart=0
    And on PC booting Windows from a USB DVD to do the install is usually a piece of cake, sometimes you just need to specify that USB in the BIOS boot order and sometimes select via F12 (or another Fkey) and that is it.
    What you have here seems to be everything and everyone is excluded unless there is a  mac-model device ID string that specifies yes.  An unnecessary hurdle.

  • How to Transfer the iPhone from one computer to another Win XP

    All
    I got my wife a new macbook pro, running Windows XP prof. She has an iphone 3G with 16 GB memory running 3.0.1. So..she wanted to transfer the sync function from her PC to her macbook. Of course, Apple was of NO help at all (but did want to charge us $69.95 since her iphone is out of warranty, and this was an iphone not a mac problem, hmmm..). Took me lots of digging, but here is how you transfer you iphone from one computer to another:
    1. Move you itunes library from the old computer to the new one. To do this, you do NOT just copy it. This is as good a link to use as any to see how to do it, but search the internet and you can find instructions:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10242259-49.html
    2. Transfer your applications you have purchased to the new computer. To do this, open itunes in the new computer, hook up your phone and click on File>transfer purchases (from itunes store) to computer. This will move your applications to the new computer.
    3. Export your MS outlook calendar, contacts, notes, etc. to the new computer by saving each of these categories as a PST file (file>export>then choose the category and type of file)...and then copy these PST files to your new computer and import them into MS outlook.
    4. Copy your playlists from itunes on your old computer to your new computer. This link may be helpful or search the internet again if you need to:
    http://osx.tribe.net/thread/08fd0e5e-f1d0-450b-8de5-9f7cb5bd278d
    5. Now...the important part...how to transfer all your settings from the iphone to the new computer....this is the part that was hard to find online, but finally got it: NOTE: THE BACKUP THAT ITUNES MAKES BACKS UP THE APPLICATION SETTINGS BUT NOT THE APPS SO THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO TRANSFER THE APPS TO THE NEW COMPUTER. The settings have all the data you put into your apps, email settings, preferences, etc...so its a huge time save to transfer these to the new computer also.
    -Sync your iphone with your old computer to have a backup in case you mess up...in that case you can restore from your old computer and start over
    -Plug your iphone into the new ocmputer and start itunes. It will detect your phone (I assume you have already authorized your new computer to use the library and playlists and apps that you moved)
    -Right click on the "iphone" on the left bar...you will see a popup menu...click on "BACKUP". Let it backup your iphone to the new computer. It will NOT sync the phone
    -When the backup is done....copy the backup file to a temp directory to be safe. The backup is located in "documents and settings">user name>applications>apple computer>mobile sync. If you cannot see it, you need to open windows explorer (not internet explorer) and go to tools>folder options>view and click on "show hidden files and folders" Note YOU CANNOT JUST COPY THE BACKUP FROM THE OLD COMPUTER TO THE NEW COMPUTER AS SUGGESTED ON SOME WEB SITES...THIS DOES NOT WORK, ITUNES WILL NOT IDENTIFY THE BACKUP EVEN IF YOU PUT IT IN THE FOLDER IN THE NEW COMPUTER THAT MIRRORS THE FOLDER LOCATION IN THE OLD COMPUTER.
    -OK now you are ready...click restore on the iphone and restore the phone to factory settings. This will happen in a few minutes (10-15 mins).
    -The phone will reboot and itunes will recognize the phone again...as a restored phone. It will then ask you if you want to restore it from the backup..say YES. You then need to go through all the itunes tabs and click on everything you want to sync to the phone (playlists, movies, podcasts, ringtones, etc). Once you are done going thru the tabs click "apply" and the sync will start. Go out, to a movie, to bed, whatever because it will take hours to sync.
    -Once the sync is done...voila...your iphone has been moved with ALL the settings to the new computer. Check it. Then you can delete the backup you put into the temp folder if it is OK
    -Deauthorize your old computer
    This worked for Win XP...should work for Vista. The whole process took many hours so don't rush through it (i'm guessing 12 hours total work).
