Hello, snow877. You can use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool to recover your phone's software. Please see this link for the instructions and the installer file: http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA142987.

How to downgrade windows on C445

Hello
I have a Lenovo All In One C445 at work and have many trouble with it.
It have Win 8 from factory so I tried it, it's crap but didn't have time to change it since someone install virus on this computer... As I don't want to spend hours erasing all of it, I tried to install Windows 7 instead of using win 8 recovery.
I disabled the BIOS OS change security (why this useless thing ?) and tried to install win 7 on the same disk as win 8 (wanted to replace win8 even if it's a dirty way) after reboot the win 7 logo move, and move and nothing appen even after 1hour...
I restarted on win 8 and reduce it's partition to create a new on for win 7. After install, same "freeze", unable to complete installation.
So as I need a computer to work I tried to use the win 8 recovery, launch it from win 8 but after reboot I have an error message "recovery partition has been destroyed" and now can't do anything, each restart end with this error, I can't boot from CD, I even can't go to the BIOS... NOTHING !
I didn't destroy the recovery partition, i just splitted the big one and create a new one, but as the letter (X by defaut) seems to not be the recovery now, it's stuck in an infinite loop...
How can I unlock this stupid computer ? Any "reset" jumper on the motherboard ? Or some magic keyboard key ? (I tried classic F2, F8, F12, del, escape...)
Why do you offer win 7 drivers if you don't let use install it ?
I'm so boring about OEM computer, we buy stuff we can't use our own way...
Thank you in advance

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 get Windows phone 7.8 update??

I've a Nokia Lumia 800. I realise there is a new update for the Nokia Lumia , Windows Phone 7.8. Yet I still have the old 7.5 version. My phone tells me that it's up to date but obviously it's not, my computer also says it's up to date. Please help, how do I get the new 7.8 update?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Once available for your device you will get a notice on the phone. Next time you connect to your PC with Zune running you will be able to update.
At this time Microsoft has halted the update process due to a found issue which needs to be fixed. No information on when the update will resume or restart is currently available but is expected to be shared as soon as Microsoft is ready with the issue.

How to Remove Windows 10 upgrade and go back to Win 8.1

(ENVY purchased with Windows 8.1 and MS office 2013.)Yesturday I installed Windows 10 upgrade. I immediately had issues. I couldn't open apps. I got an error message about license expired. I went to open Excel and MS office didn't exist. After a full day of trying to fix issues I have come to the resolve of "If its not broken don't fix it" I want to revert back to my Windows 8.1.The MS instructions say to go to Start and Settings. I have no Setting option.I made Recovery disk after I received it . Is there a way to do the microsoft procedure that uses the Windows.old or should I do a complete recovery.

So I'm in the same boat. My HP desktop that came insatlled with WIn 8.1 64-bit and it "upgraded" to WIn10 badly. WIn10 wont activate becasue it says my license code is blocked on the server, none of my installed apps or data came over and the receovey option will now only recover to WIn10, I have no option to go back to Win 8.1, thouhgh a windows.old dir is there on the C: drive. I have my Win 8.1 license code from before the "upgrade" attepmt, but there is no way with what WIn 10 left me with to revert back to Win 8.1. I went to the HP suppprt & downloads page to see if thre was WIn8.1 recovery media available as discussed here : http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07143#AbT2 , but nothing shows up for my HP Pavilion 500-210qe CTO. Looks like both MS and HP got me good.

I have a few doubts regarding this..
1. Wil this erase all my data from all the drives...I had a single drive when I brought it at first, I manually partitioned it..
OK. You did not provide that information before. So my previous post was a waste of time. You will need to purchase recovery media from HP. If you had recovery media available and selected factory image recover, it would delete and recreate partitions on the boot drive not the secondary hard disk.
Looking for recovery disks or usb recovery media?
2. What about reset or refreshing the pc. Will it help?
No. Reset or refresh will only refresh to the current Windows 8.1 operating system
3. Is it going to be windows 8 single language again.
It won't work if there is no recovery partition, so you don't have to worry about that
4. How can I stop the installation of windows 8.1 in future.
Modify the Windows update settings. See the following image

Hi,
Can someone please let me know how I can downgrade from IE11 to IE10 in my windows server 2008 R2. When I go to control Panel -> Programs -> features and I don't see any program name with internet explorer in that list. Also, when I go to on

Any help is much appreciated.

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hello ibebry
Try using the Software Update on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. One thing to keep in mind if you are trying it on the computer is to make sure that you are not pressing any keys down when checking for updates as that may bring up a pop up window to find the update file.
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

How to downgrade Qosmio Windows 8 to Windows 7 64bit

We have recently purchased Toshiba QOSMIO X75-A7295 with Windows 8 Home edition.
How do we downgrade the windows 8 Home edition to Window 7 enterprise 64 bit
I have also tried going into the BIOS to change the boot order but it does not boot from the Windows7 DVD but boots up windows8
How I install Windows 7 in Toshiba QOSMIO X75-A7295
.Do i need to change any other setting in BIOS.
How do we resolve this issue?
Thanks
JasimT

Thanks TomDexter and Macius
I really appreciate your detailed instructions.
I found the following details on the right side of BIOS Advanced Option while select the boot Mode
"Select the boot Mode
.(UEFI Boot )
Support to boot any UEFI-capable OS.
(CSM Boot )
Support to boot non UEFI-capable OS that expects a legacy BIOS interface. This item does not revert back to its default value by Load Setup Defaults Action ".
I need to clarify this .Now we are planning to install Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 . If I select CSM boot on BIOS.. In future we may need to upgrade this laptop to Windows 8.1 Pro . . Is it possible to change the boot mode CMS boot to UEFI Boot on Futur .
Please inform me .It can or cannot ?
Can I go ahead with installation of Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on this laptop Toshiba Qosmio X75-A7295 now
Many thanks and regards
Jasim.

How do I restart my computer for updates without having it reset because the log in window, suddenly, now appears?

How do I restart my macbook for updates without having it reset because the log in window, suddenly, now appears? I've never had this issue until a few days ago when there were updates available. Somewhere the settings were changed. I may have inadvertently changed a log in preference but can't trace it back.

That usually doesn't happen (unless you do not use automatic login) unless you boot into Safe Mode. When prompted do you enter your admin password? What happens when you do that?

Most likely because of the UEFI used in Windows 8. It is not by coincidence that this happens. Look at this to help: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20121126#qa

How To: Deploying Windows & Office updates during task sequence

How do you guys apply windows and office updates during the task sequence?
Right now for Windows, I am offline servicing using my software deployment package.
For Office, I had the software deployment package, but can't figure out how to add it to my task sequence. All the options don't allow me to choose the package.
My end goal is to keep everything as up to date as possible, and if people image a computer and run Windows Update, they only have to download 10 or less updates, not 100+.

Is Office part of your image or do you deploy Office as part of your task sequence?
If office is part of your image, i'd recommend that you create a fully automated build and capture process using the MDT lite touch, and use a separate WSUS server to update the image with Windows , Office and other updates.
It's pretty easy to setup.
Creating a Windows 8.1 reference image:
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9845755
If Office is not part of the image, you need to deploy the updates using Software Updates In SCCM as part of your Task Sequence.

@ronnipedersen
It's a task sequence. I'm confused how Software Updates works with SCCM because I do not want to use it to update All Systems. I only want to update it to computers that get imaged which are Unknown Computers. We have WSUS to take care of updates.
If I deploy to Unknown Computers the updates in SCCM, once it joins the domain though to install all the other applications in the task sequence, will updates still go through now that it isn't a "Unknown ComputeR"?
