Is Satellite C50-A441 preinstalled with Win 8.1 English language?

I haven't managed to get a straight answer on the microsoft forum so am posting here.
The following product ( [C50-A441|http://www.toshibamea.com/ComputerProduct/4/Satellite_C50-A441/52956?pageid=4] ) is advertised as Windows 8.1 Single Language 64-bit (pre-installed).
I am currently based in the middle east and asked in the shop if the language was US English but I did not get a clear answer and I don't want to buy a laptop with Arabic.
Is there any way to know if it is in US English (I am not able to test before purchasing...).
Many Thanks.

The Satellite C50-A441 PSCGJV-009001AR was preinstalled with Toshiba image containing the Windows 8.1 in Arabic language.

  • Satellite C50-A - upgrading to Win 8.1 bit from Win7

    Hi
    Wondering, I have the Windows 8.1, upgrade media I got for my Toshiba Satellite C50-A machine. Want to upgrade to Windows 8.1, and got the upgrade DVD, that came with the laptop. So do I just insert the DVD, click set-up, or do I need to go back to factory settings, then insert the DVD, and as a blind it student, will need sighted help.
    Any help, tips, tricks from people done this before. I have a 1 TB USB Toshiba external drive, so have backed up everything on to that and added a couple of things today, but backed up all the rest of my stuff, docs, college work, e-mails, my rss feed settings, contacts for outlook 2010, programs, music, TV, movies, favorites, etc. so any advice.
    Going to do this tomorrow. as doing a programming course and the instructor is using windows 8.1, and need to develop windows stores and windows phone apps.

    Exact specification of your model is not known to me but I presume you got your machine with Win8.1 recovery disc so if you want to use Win8.1 you must boot your machine with this recovery disc and make clean OS installation.
    I don't know if you got your machine with originally preinstalled Win7. If yes create recovery media (DVD or USB) using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator before you start Win8.1 installation.
    This created recovery media you can use if you want to have machine with Win7 again.

  • Is Satellite U400-10T compatible with Win XP

    Hello ,
    i want to buy one Satellite U400-10T and I want to know it this model is compatible with Windows XP .
    It' seems that on the Toshiba site, some drivers are present but it's all the drivers needed?
    A+
    Jean Marc

    Of course its compatible why shouldnt it be???
    The Satellite U400-10T seems to belong to the PSU40E series.
    This series is listed on the Toshiba European driver page and ALL XP drivers are available
    So you ask if all drivers are needed???
    Well, of course you dont need to install everything from the page, but if you want to use all notebook features then all drivers and tools would be necessary!!!
    Never fear ;) you will be able to install the XP on this notebook and it should run trouble free too ;)

  • Satellite C55-A-199 with Win 7 64bit - cannot enable WiFi

    Hi,
    I have some problem with the wifi in my Toshiba Satellite C55-A-199.
    I have downloaded and installed every drivers that I could find on the [website|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp] but I am still not able to turn off the wifi by pressing fn+f12.
    When I press fn+f12 the bluetooth can be switch on/off but the wifi symbol doesn't appear on the screen, and the red led at the front keeps lighting.
    I don't know what could be the problem, but I hope I'll get some help here.
    Thanks,

    Hi everybody,
    _Thanks a lot Randy, doing what you said helped me solved the issue_ with my newly Satellite C55-A-1P2, but unfortunately I have discovered an even bigger issue.
    I think this thread is probably not the right place to say my problem but I haven't found to much info regarding the issue. :(
    If I'm allowed here this is what I'm encountering with the Wi-Fi adapter:
    My Wi-Fi adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x I think this is the one) is frequently disconnecting, stays disconnected for a minute or so and after that is reconnecting. For me that is a very big issue as I'm a heavily Wi-Fi user. I do have the latest driver installed from Toshiba site and using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.
    If anybody has any idea on how to solve this issue or if it's even solvable(if this is the case I need to return the laptop) or redirect me to another post related to Wi-Fi disconnections I will be forever grateful.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot find Win 8.1 drivers for Satellite C50-A-1DV

    Hi.
    I re-installed windows 8.1 from a disk I have, but I'm having driver problems, namely finding certain driver support on the Toshiba website.
    It seem that my laptop isn't listed, or I can't find it in the support section for drivers.
    The drivers I'm looking for namely are the motherboard drivers.
    I already tried a driver site but my laptop was taking a good few minutes to power off after shutdown so I doubt those were correct. I'll try intel chipset device software and see if that gives me the correct ones.
    Rest of drivers I can get simple enough through device manager, but not the chipset drivers, and probably usb 3.0 too.
    On a side note, I noticed I don't need to type in the key, which I wrote down using belarc, I assume it's saved to the BIOS and windows auto detects it correct?

    Hello
    According notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Windows 8.1 64bit so what you should do is to reinstall original recovery image that contains all necessary drivers.
    When you say you have installed Win 8.1 from the disc, what does it mean exactly?
    Have you installed your own OS version or original Win8.1 version from created recovery disc?
    Anyway, al Win8.1 64bit drivers you can download from Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    There you can find all drivers for your Satellite C50-A-1DV with part number PSCG6E.

    > I don't have a free usb drive to test the usb mode.
    I would recommend you to purchase an separate USB memory stick and to create the such recovery USB flash memory media.
    Please check also this different procedure described in this Toshiba HowTO

  • Satellite C50-A-1JU - manually BIOS update

    Hi Forum,
    is their any chance to update the bios manually? The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1JU with part number: PSCJEE. The Toshiba Service Station brings every time a service error. The other update from the website DM10S140.exe crashs every time. I tried the compatible mode, startet it as administrator but ever the same crash. Operating System is windows 8.1 and virus scanner is disabled. What i to now? Thanks for any help.
    Edit, sorry postet in the wrong section please move :(.

    In my opinion Toshiba Service Station is a nice tool but not so important. If your notebook runs well and stabile you don't need any updates. Maybe it sounds stupid now but I use two Toshiba notebooks with original factory settings and without any updates. The first one is 5 years old and it is running Win7. The other one is Tecra model, 3 years old and also preinstalled with Win7.
    All I install are Windows updates. The first thing I have done after clean recovery image installation is deactivation of such tools like Toshiba Service Station.
    Believe me you can live without it.
    At the end I must say that Im also sure that BIOS update will not help you at all. BIOS update has nothing to do with Toshiba Service Station functionality.

  • Satellite C50-B P0010 is Slow :-(

    I want to know whether I am the only one stuck with this problem!!! My Satellite C50-B PSCMNG with Windows 8.1 x64 is really painfully slow... I even tried upgrading the RAM to 8GB, but NO change... My satellite still tends to be painfully slow... Firefox, Microsoft Office and all other softwares that i use are always laggy and hangs always... I even tried reinstalling windows many times, formatting hard disk... All the drivers are perfectly installed and Windows is up to date. Nothing helped me... My lap is only 2 months old... I never expected a PC with 4th gen quad core processor and 8GB RAM would be this bad. Please help me!!! I am really in pain and vexed. I gave up!!!      
    This is the laptop I am talking about   << Please click here

    That's not a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

  • How to enter the BIOS in Satellite C50-A006

  • Satellite C50-A133 - language bar hot keys keep being reset automatically

    Hi!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A133 notebook with Windows 8.1 64 bit (system language English UK) from the UK. So far I have not had major problems with Windows 8.1 but one annoying problem keeps coming up.
    There are currently 12 languages/input methods installed, some of which I have assigned keyboard shortcuts, either Ctrl + number or Ctrl + Shift + number.
    After the system starts up they work fine, but after a while become disabled without me being aware of having done anything to disable them. The only thing I can do is open the Language Preferences menu and assign the shortcuts again.
    They have disappeared in the language bar hot keys menu, specifically each shortcut I have set has changed to "None". This happens after a while no matter what I use the computer for.
    Restarting the system always resets the shortcuts to my settings but working with the computer for a while disables them. I use Avast, Malwarebytes, Auslogics BoostSpeed and Windows Defender regularly, as well as CCleaner at startup. I don't think it's any of these causing the problem, as it occurs when none of them are scanning as well. Using the Windows key + tab bar to change input language works fine by the way.
    All the languages are displayed and can be activated this way. It is just the hotkeys that keep disappearing. It is not a huge problem but can be inconvenient when needing to switch between 2 or 3 languages quickly without having to cycle through all 12 of them. Has anyone had this problem and is there a way to fix it?
    I have already explained this issue to Microsoft.
    They had no solution that worked and suggested it was a hardware problem and that I should contact Toshiba instead.
    Thanks!

    To be honest Im not sure if I understand your problem correctly but as far as I know by first start after notebook purchase you can define keyboard input language and thats it. Of course you can change it additionally and add some other input languages.
    For me it sounds crazy that 12 languages are offered as installed services. Who has done this?
    Can you please tell us how all this started? I mean I presume you use UK layout only and English as input language. The issue with 12 languages sounds completely crazy for me. Have you tried to change anything? Have you tried to remove all other languages?
    Hardware problem? I don't know what Microsoft think about this but there is a easy way to check this. Reinstall original recovery image and check how it works with factory settings.

  • Satellite C50-B with Win 8.1 - PXE error appeares using UEFI boot mode

    I have a C50-b laptop running Win 8.1 and recently needed to boot it from a usb key so eventually found the way to do that (miss the bios first boot menu) and managed to do that.
    My problem is even when I have returned to uefi and set the boot order to be local disk, cd, network it asks everytime do I want to boot for PXE IP4,IP6 then IP4 and IP6 again. I have also disabled secure boot
    I think some value is missing when I switched to BIOS and back to UETI boot option but where is the laptop getting the setting to tell it to PXE/Network boot when its down the list and wake on LAN is disabled.

    According to the automated support on the site I should do the following for Win 8
    Switch on the notebook and immediately begin tapping the F2 key continuously.
    When the system setup (BIOS) appears, stop tapping F2. Tap F9 once, select 'Yes', and press Enter.
    Use the cursor keys to move to the Advanced menu.
    Choose System Configuration and press Enter.
    Ensure that Boot Mode is set to UEFI Boot.
    Press Escape to return to the Advanced menu and choose the Security menu.
    Set Secure Boot to Enabled.
    Press F10 once, select 'Yes', and press Enter.

  • Satellite P845T-107 with Win 8 PRO but after Win 8.1 update it isn't PRO

    Yesterday at Saturn Salzburg bought the notebook.
    It has on the bottom a PRO Windows 8 label.
    Unfortunately, I first initiated the update to 8.1 and then only a backup created on a USB stick.
    Windows has muddled up the the Pro version after Win 8.1 update.
    Can not join domain, as I expect from a PRO version actually.
    How do I get the original Pro version again?
    The label does so, that there must have been a Pro license.
    How do I get the licenses number?
    I'm A bit sour ... how Toshiba is helping me?

    Hi
    Regarding to the Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page, the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit.
    [Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page|http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-products/satellite-p845t-107/]
    It was not Pro version.

  • Satellite C50-B-13T - Win 8.1 cannot change desktop background

    Hi folks,
    I'm new to this forum so please bear with me.
    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite C50-B-13T laptop yesterday with Windows 8.1 installed and I cannot change the desktop screen from a blank black one to a picture of my choice... I've tried everything, and even looked for videos on Youtube to see if there's a remedy for it.
    When I look at the control panel the thumbnail shows the picture I've chosen, but the actual desktop (not the smart screen bit) is still plain black. All of my icons work just fine but the background will not change.
    If anyone can help me sort this out I'd be really grateful?
    Thanks everyone :O)

    You ask how to change the Windows background?
    This is not very tricky.
    Microsoft released a useful article regarding Windows system personalization.
    Please check this aricle:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/personalize-pc-tutorial
    Note: there is a difference between the desktop background and the lock screen.
    The lock screen is the screen you see when you lock your PC (or when it locks automatically after you haven't been using it for a while).

  • Re: Satellite Z30-A with Win 8.1 - Driver update confusion

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding driver updates. Currently, Windows Update recommends me to update the audio driver (important) and the LAN driver (optional). Toshiba Service Station, however, doesnt offer new drivers for these devices.
    My question is whether I should install these updates (particularly the important one) or if they are not approved by Toshiba yet?
    Moreover, does anyone have a changelog for the new 3.8 Bios?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick replies! I was just tempted because one of the updates was classified as "important", for whatever reason, which are normally those updates that should be installed (e.g. for security reasons). In fact you are right, I dont have any problems with my laptop.
    Sorry, forgot to state the model: Z30-A with Win 8.1
    Any ideas about the bios update?
    Thanks!

  • Satellite M300 with Win 7 64 wont register bluetooth mouse

    I have just updated my M300 to Win 7 64 and can't get MS Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 to register. I have updated the BIOS and drivers. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. It worked perfectly on this computer with Win 7 32.
    Thanks in advance.

    Akuma is right.
    You need the Toshiba Bluetooth stack!
    Reinstall the BT stack and enable BT using the FN + F8
    Note; the FN+F8 controls the WLan too. You need to press this key combination several times in order to get BT enabled.
