Where do I find the Windows 8 software and license for mye X1 Carbon?

Hi, I have a 20A7-model of the Thinkpad X1 Carbon. It has preinstalled Windows 7 and there was not any Windows 8 upgrade media in the package. How do I get the software for upgrading to Windows 8, and where do I find my license key?
Best regards, Amund

Hi amund,
If I understand your question, the info that was included with your order shows it as having Windows 7 as well as Windows 8 pre-installed.
Usually, I run Speccy (Free) when I need more information regarding what is on my computer. I do not know if it will help in this case, but it is worth a try.
Screenshots: https://www.piriform.com/speccy/screenshots <-- After running the tool, when each section on the left of those windows is expanded by clicking on them you will see more details.
*Note: I noticed before installing Speccy that there are two items that have been pre-checked to install. If you do not want them (toolbars, etc.) UNcheck them before installing Speccy.
I hope this helps.

  • Where can I find the windows 8.1 product key

    Where can I find the windows 8.1 product key for my HP Pavilion Model p7 – 1451. The HP came with windows 8 pre-installed and then I upgraded to windows 8.1 on-line free from Microsoft.  I need the windows 8.1 product key to upgrade to windows 10.

    Hi,
    The key is in the BIOS of your machine, please use the following tool to get it:

  • HT5766 Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?

    Hello,
    Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (Mac OSX 10.8.3) this information is no longer available in software updates listing you get if you click on the Software Update menu item from the Apple menu.
    I found the download size (often hundreds of megabytes for an individual update and sometimes a set of updates might amount to a few gigabytes) to be very helpful, and now that it seems no longer available (I can't even see it on the web page I came to for more information, thinking the download size would surely be specified there), it is frustrating. My current example is iTunes 11.0.3
    I would greatly appreicate having this information back in the software updates listing, but since it is no longer available there, and I don't know where else to find it, if anybody can enlighten me to its whereabouts, I'd be grateful.
    Thanks and cheers!

    WHERE can I find the antivirus software of my IMAC?

    There is none. It's already built-in to the OS. You do not need to install any third-party AV software.

    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:

  • Where can I find the current time and date of Time Capsule?

    I have a home network consisint of 2 x Time Capsules and 1 x Airport Express.  All is working fine.  I would like to set up access control for one machine connecting to the network and I can see I can do this under Access Control on the Airport Utility.  My question is where can I find the current time and date setting for these devices? 
    I can set them to use the time.apple.com server to set the time automatically, but I can't find where to see the current time and date of the device.  The only place I can see reference to the time and date is on the logs and statistics under the Advanced tab of the AirPort Untility.

    I don't think you can change the time and date on the TC itself, it just connects to a time server (and you set your own time zone).

  • How do I find the image name and media_link for an ubuntu image in the Gallery?

    I am trying to create VM using Python API.  
    I have a custom Linux image:

    When I used this image to create VM, it failed.
    I would like to use the ubuntu 1204 image in the Gallery.
    How do I specify the image_name and media_link in my Python code?  Basically, where and how do I find the image name and media_link for an image in the Azure image Gallery?
    Thanks in advance...

    hi sir,
    Did you try to use "List OS Image"? we can get the property form the results:
    result = sms.list_os_images()
    for image in result:
    print('Name: ' + image.name)
    print('Label: ' + image.label)
    print('OS: ' + image.os)
    print('Category: ' + image.category)
    print('Description: ' + image.description)
    print('Location: ' + image.location)
    print('Affinity group: ' + image.affinity_group)
    print('Media link: ' + image.media_link)
    print('')
    Please try it. Any questions or it doesn't work, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Will

  • Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR

    What is the Oracle Best Practice for install/deployment and configuration of ODI 11g for Disaster Recovery?
    We have a project that is using Oracle ODI 11g (11.1.1.5).
    We have configured all the other Oracle FMW components as per the Oracle DR EDG guides. Basically using the Host ip name/aliasing concept to ‘trick’ the secondary site into thinking
    it is primary and continue working with minimal (or no) manual reconfiguration. But will this work for ODI? The FMW DR guide has sections for SOA, WebCenter and IdM, but nothing for ODI.
    Since ODI stores so much configuration information in the Master Repository..when this DB gets ‘data guarded’ to the secondary site and promoted to Primary…ODI will still think it is at the ‘other’ site. Will this break the actual agents running the scenarios?
    Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR ODI properly?
    We are looking for a solution that will allow a graceful switchover/failover with minimal manual re-configuration.

    The only resource I have is this website and the only binaries seem to be for Linux OS.You have one other HUGE resource that, while it won't answer your current question, you'd better start getting familiar with if you are going to use Oracle. That is the complete and official documentation, found at tahiti.oracle.com

  • Where can I find the backup files in iTunes for my iPhone, I want a copy

    Where can I find the backup files in iTunes for my iPhone, I want to copy the backup files for all app's and phone numbers, I'm using Windows XP
    I just need to know where its hiding, a link that shows an address where would sure help

    First you'll need to make sure your XP is set up to view hidden files and folders.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    5. Click OK.
    Now you should be able to track down your backup file at the location in the following document:

  • Help! I am unable to get Boot Camp to recognize my Windows disc; whether I use USB, DVD, CD whatever, I get an error message to insert the Windows Software and wait. HELP please!

    Like I said in my headline, I simply cannot get Boot Camp Assistant to recognize my Windows Software, no matter what method I use. I don't know if I'm not making it mountable or what. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Brandon

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Simply skip Boot Camp Assistant and create the Windows partition with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format", and apply the changes. By security, choose "BOOTCAMP" as the name of the partition.
    In fact, the only thing that Boot Camp Assistant does is to help you create the Windows partition and download the Windows support software.
    Before creating the partition, open Boot Camp Assistant, tick only the option to download the Windows support software and burn it into a USB drive. You will need it later. Then, make the partition as described above.
    Finally, insert the Windows DVD, restart and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Since here, you can follow the Apple's steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf Remember to choose the BOOTCAMP partition when the installer asks you to format it.
    After installing Windows, insert the USB drive and install the Windows support software

  • Where can I find the user key precedence hierarchy for each record type?

    Example: I want to update contact records through the CRMOD web service API.
    So I'm looking at the "Oracle Web Services On Demand Guide, Version 6.0 (released August 2010)", page 316, and it lists 3 user keys for Contact.wsdl v2.0 in the following order:
    1. FirstName and LastName
    2. Id
    3. ExternalSystemId
    From what I can see, this order does not seem to reflect the precedence hierarchy of these 3 user keys.
    I've send in a test update where I supplied a FN, LN, and EUID, ... and the contact that matched the EUID got updated.
    (I'm glad it did, because EUID really needs to take precedence over FN+LN, otherwise you could never change a contact's last name without knowing the contact's Row Id.)
    Does anyone know where I can find the precedence hierarchy for each record type's user keys (other than doing the obvious and time consuming "try+error")?

    Hi,
    we experienced similar problems with the account object and asked the oracle support about this. This was their answer:
    "[...] thank you for contacting CRM On Demand Customer Care. Regarding your question, please note the below: when perfoming a query, the user key fields are looked for in this order: - Row id - External System Id - AccountName and Location. Basically, the search will be performed by AccountName and Location only when the other fields are missing. This is an expected behavior because, the Row Id is the strongest filter as it is always unique. The external system Id comes second, as it is supposed to be unique in another system."
    So, I guess the order is always
    1) Row Id
    2) External System Id
    3) specific field combinations...
    kind regards
    Kai
