Satellite M40 and Windows 7 Upgrade

I have tried to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro from XP Pro but towards the nd of the upgrade, my notebook reboots and freezes up trying to start Windows 7.
Does anybody kow how I can correct this? My system has the required disk space (55.6 GB) and memory (1GB).

Do you know how old your notebook is?
Requirements don't mean just enough space on HDD and enough RAM but also the hardware infrastructure.
Your notebook is not designed for Win7.

  • Lenovo Yoga 3 14 recovery and Windows 10 upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a few questions regarding Lenovo Yoga 3 14 recovery and Windows 10 upgrade (should be generic questions that apply to other models as well):
    1# Will the Windows 10 update and activation change in any way the Win8.1 OEM serial key stored in BIOS? Is there any chance that any software changes that BIOS OEM key (like malware or similar)?
    2# After updating to Windows 10, if I put the USB recovery pen drive (created in Win8.1), will I be able to restore the Win8.1 version (factory restore), and successfully activate it and use it without issues?
    3# On a clean drive (without any partitions, like for instance if I buy a new one), if I use the same USB recovery pen drive (created in Win8.1) to do a factory reset, will it re-create all partitions, including the recovery partition one?
    Thanks

    1) Run the Win 10 installation and choose "Upgrade Windows" option. Windows 10 will be installed and it will be activated.
    The chance of any software changing the OEM key is insignificant.
    2) Yes, you can recover Win 8.1 successfully. No need to activate it, it will be auto-activated.
    3) I dont have experience with this but reading around the forum I have seen that using a recovery drive on a new HDD may not install windows and re-create partitions.
    The recovery partition is the hardest to re-create on a new HDD, even you are able to re-create it the NOVO button usually doesnt work.
    Let me know if I answered your questions. Thanks.

  • New Satellite L50-C - wont allow updates and windows 10 upgrade, keeps asking to restart

    Hi, hope someone can help:I picked up a new laptop yesterday with windows 8.1 installed and followed the prompts to upgrade to windows 10.  The computer downloaded what I presume were the updates for 8.1 to get it up to date before starting the windows 10 installation.  It has also downloaded the data for the windows 10 upgrade as I am now getting the prompt telling me the upgrade is ready to install.However, when I click on 'start the upgrade now' in the windows 10 upgrade box the laptop just restarts and boots back up to a windows 8.1 login.  Once logged into desktop Windows Update opens up and tells me that I need to restart to complete install of updates.  I click on the restart and the computer restarts but with no message telling me during the restart process that updates are installing as you might usually expect.  The boot-up then bring me back to the same point (login screen, then win8.1 desktop and Windows update again popping up asking for a restart).  I have followed these prompts and done several restarts thinking that it is working through bringing the updates in one by one however the update list doesn't vary when I check:  I ran the troubleshooter for update and got the following message: However even after doing this a couple of times I still have the same problem.  After reading up on these forums and elsewhere I tried running sfc/scannow (no issues detected).Can anyone help?  

    Which Satellite L50-C? There is a label on the bottom.

  • Satellite M40: installing Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hi,
    I'm trying to upgrade my Satellite M40 (PSM40A-03K009) to Windows 7 Home Premium but towards the end of the installation, my notebook reboots and freezes up trying to start Windows 7.
    I've rebooted in safe mode and it seems to be getting stuck loading \windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys.
    I've tried everything I can think of: running start-up repair on installation disk, installing latest versions of drivers, updating BIOS, reformatting disk, etc but nothing seems to work.
    Can anybody help?
    Cheers
    Rob

    Thanks for your thoughts.
    You're both probably right about it being too old (although it does have a 2GHz processor & 2GB RAM) but I thought it worth a try as I have a spare copy of Windows 7 and much prefer it to XP (I have it running on my newer Toshiba laptop).
    I'll try a couple more things then restore XP if I can'?t crack the problem.
    Any idea what CLASSPNP.SYS is meant to be controlling? It seems to have something to do with SCSI controller but I don'?t think this pc has any SCSI devices.
    Cheers, Rob

  • Touchsmart IQ504 and windows 8 upgrade

    I tried upgrading my IQ504 from Windows 7 to Windows 8 when it was first released and had no luck. Has anyone had any luck upgrading their 504 yet and if so anything specific I should know? Thanks!

    Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart IQ504 Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped with Windows Vista 64-bit and was introduced for sale on or about 13-Jul-2008... making it over 5 years old. Due to its age, HP has no intention of providing specific support or drivers for this model. Please read HP's position below.
    THIS is HP's position on Windows 8 support and any HP computer not originally supplied with Windows 8;
    1) Not all Windows 8 features may be available on all PCs.
    2) Your particular experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.
    3) HP is providing upgrade instructions and drivers will be available for most Windows 7 systems sold after 1st October 2011.
    4) If you want to restore the original operating system after upgrading, you must create HP recovery media before you upgrade.
    5) Please note that if you purchased your system prior to October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed Windows 8 upgrade instructions or drivers for them. Upgrading such systems may be difficult or impossible.
    and
    Important information regarding additional limitations and requirements;
    1) Screen Resolution Requirements
    2) Limitations with DVD playback software
    3) Limitations with Blu-ray playback software
    4) Limitations with TV Tuner software
    5) Secure Boot & other UEFI dependent features
    6) Limitations with touch screen capabilities
    "Windows 7 (also includes Windows Vista) PCs with touch screens will not have full Windows 8 touch capabilities after upgrade. HP PCs with touch input hardware designed for Windows 7 will provide a comparable experience for only two touch point applications after the upgrade to Windows 8. HP Windows PCs with touch input hardware will not support Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points. Additionally, Windows 8 edge swipes may not be available due to the recessed bezel on HP touch systems shipped with Windows 7."
    7) HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before upgrading. Note that content created using the TouchSmart applications such as Graphitti will not be available after upgrading.
    With all of that said, you may be able to clean install Windows 8 or upgrade your current OS to Windows 8 and it may work but many of its features may no longer function under Windows 8.

    I'm looking to buy a netbook and I found one that I'm interested in and it is in stock at my store. Do I need to buy it online in order to the $60 off the windows 7 upgrade? I can do the store pick-up and get the netbook today if I have to do it that way but I'd rather upgrade it right away instead of waiting for the card/code to be mailed to me.
    The netbook has 1gb memory and upgradeable to 2gb, will windows 7 run okay on the samsung netbook with 1gb? I just need to be able to check email and play music - my laptop is going in for repair and it could be a while before I get it back.

    Ohh I see what you mean they are offering you $60 dollars if you upgrade to premium.
    This is a netbook I wouldn't recomend anything above starter on it which it already has.
    Can the netbook run Premium? Yes
    Can it do it like a traditional notebook? Not in my opinion
    So I wouldn't go for the upgrade if I were you unless you planned to use the upgrade on another system.
    Then it would seem you would have to purcahse it online and if I am not mistaking that will be shipped to you even if you opt for instore pickup but I may be wrong. I did something similar during the holidays and the upgrade was shipped even though I had instore pickup for the notebook.
    I like things that go beep

  • Forum and windows 7 upgrade

    What good is a forum that locks most of the threads?
    Many posts about signing up for a windows 7 upgrade, (locked I might add) but has anyone actually received one?
    I signed up over a month ago and they have not even got around to sending it yet! In my opinion, this is unacceptable support.. HP knew this was going to be comming for a long time.
    I really hate to be one of those folks that says "I'll never buy HP again", especially since my family owns 3 HP laptops.. but come on now.

  • Recovery disc creation and windows 7 upgrade

    when i get to disc 3 of recovery disc it shows that it has written the disc but before it cane verify it, it ejects the disc and a screen pops up and says to reinsert the disc, when it is reinserted nothing happens and have to cancel operation, after three times wasting disc to try to get third disc created need a suggestion since seem not to be able to get thru to hp support. also, trying to upgrade from vista to windows 7, after going thru all the things required by the windows upgrade advisor and hp upgrade assist, when windows 7 upgrade disc is installed, get error message that autorun.dll is missing and get error code 0x456 and computer freezes up, and the only way to get disc out of disc drive and get computer to work again is to manually turn it off, and still can't get thru to hp!

    Hi m.tarek,
    I doubt that this would possible. Firstly you only ordered an upgrade, that means this version can only be installed on a preinstalled Vista version. Its not a full version that you can install without OS.
    Furthermore the recovery files on the second partition (btw, thats an image) contains the Vista OS and not Windows 7. This will not be updated.
    Sorry mate, but therefore its necessary always to make this upgrade. Alternative you can create your own image using Acronis True Image or another image software.

  • Qosmio G40 and Windows 7 upgrade

    Hi
    Can anyone please advise me on why Toshiba has no support for the Qosmio G40 when it comes to windows 7 upgrade?

    Thanks, Ivan - that answered my (unasked) question right off the bat!
    Cheers,
    Chris :-)
    (Also, a search revealed that if Win7 drivers are not included Vista drivers will work fine - like touch pad, IR, etc.)

  • Satellite A500 PSAM3E - Windows 7 upgrade fails - Error code: 0x80070570

    *(Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570). *

    I have just received my DVD win7 upgrade from Toshiba, is the DVD corrupted or some other issues, before the installation a message appears that I should uninstall ATI Catalyst install and ATI catalyst control panel.
    Needs help from expert who have already done the upgrade.

    Hi
    > before the installation a message appears that I should uninstall ATI Catalyst install and ATI catalyst control panel.
    And why you didnt do this?
    Maybe you are running an older version of the display drivers and so you have to uninstall them before you can start the upgrade.
    Check this!!
    After the successful upgrade you can install the newest display driver version from the Toshiba page.
    By the way: Here you can find a step by step upgrade:

    The Win 8 matrix lists only the notebook models which were delivered and preinstalled with Win 7 and will get Win 8 driver via Win 8 Update Assistant.
    But the list does not mean that not listed notebooks are not Win 8 capable
    Here is a official information from Microsoft about Windows 8 system requirements

  • HP 320-1030 WINDOWS 7 TOUCHSCREE​N SOFTWARE AND WINDOWS 8 UPGRADE

    Just purchased an hp 320-1030 touchscreen with windows 7 operating system. The advertisement was that you could upgrade to windows 8 for $15 and HP would refund the $15.00
    When you read the upgrade information it states that HP Touchsmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before upgrade.
    The Windows 7 touchscreen came with the following touchscreen applications:
    HP Touchsmart 5.0
    HP Touchsmart Music
    HP Touchsmart Browser
    HP Touchsmart Web Cam
    Canvas
    HP movie store powered by Roxio Now.
    Is Windows 8 going to provide Replacement applications that will function as well ?
    A Little help on staying with Windows 7 for an HP Windows 7 Touchscreen or upgrading for Windows 8.
    If I knew about these limitiations I would have waited for a HP Windows 8 touchscreen.

    Hello Shujan
    I am happy to be able to link you to your HP TouchSmart 320-1030 Desktop PC Drivers and software here. You will find if you choose Windows 7 64-bit from the drop-down box and hit "NEXT" than scroll down you will see + Driver - Original and if you click on that you will find the drivers you are looking for.

  • Satellite A60 and Windows XP Recovery

    Hello all.
    I have recently bought a second hand Satellite Notebook from a friend (slightly older Notebook- from 2004.) When booting into a virtual environment and running anti virus applications (for the memory) and diagnostic tools (Everest and Memtest etc), all hardware appears to be functional and in good order. The HDD was dead when originally bought, so I have replaced that with a new one (first replacement was faulty, but was written to initially in tests, while the second is still RAW and unused). When attempting to do an OS recovery/reinstall off the original OEM product CD (T#R-02163001 PMR400170EN1 2/2) nothing happens to begin the process (no BootCD in drive- this despite the boot order being set correctly.) The single file on the CD is a 02163001.GHS file (615,722KB) inside a TOSHIBA folder. This I would guess to be the second or more of spanned Ghost files. However the first part, which, I imagine, should be a .GHO file, for automatically starting the bootup/recovery process, is absent. Assuming the CD-ROM (definately not the optical drive) to be defective, I have attempted to purchase a replacement over the net and by phoning the local suppliers. This CD is apparently no longer available, anywhere!
    Is the CD-ROM defective, based on the single file, its size and the possible missing .GHO file ?
    Is it possible to still make use of the image of the .GHS file on the original product recovery CD and incorporate it to recover the machine with a new CD with an .iso file, which I could create. If so, how would I go about that?
    Norton Ghost 10 cannot recognise this file type, for recovery. I have Norton Ghost 2003 too, but it is not meant to be used on an XP based machine platform. The Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 might do the job, but is $39 and I think a bit of a risky purchase. Using pirated software is not a viable option either.
    Purchasing at some cost, a non-OEM, generic Windows XP PRO is probably a solution, but I would preferably like to use my original OEM CD.
    If anyone knows any useful information or could provide a workaround, it would be appreciated.

    Hi
    You might find that you are missing the first of two recovery CD's . You will probably battle to get a replacement Product Recovery CD, as the laptop is about four years old. You could try your local ASP's or alternatively install an original generic (non OEM) Windows XP Home/ Pro CD.
    Maybe other users could confirm this???
    Cheers
