Win 7 Pro to Win 8 Pro Upgrade Help needed!

So basically I need somebody to walk me through this like I'm computer illiterate, which I'm generally not, but hesitant to get started without actually understanding the whys and hows.
I bought a Thinkpad S440 with preinstalled WIndows 8 Pro.
It has the Win8Pro sticker at the bottom and the five recovery disks.
Now, the store told me that Lenovo had downgraded it to Windows 7 Pro, so this is what I'm running currently.
I want to upgrade it first to Windows 8 Pro and then to Windows 8.1 Pro (unless I can do it all at once?) Clean install preferable.
It does not have an optical drive, so the Recovery disks which state they can be used to upgrade are pretty much useless. I don't have access to an optical drive anyway, so I can't create iso images of them either.
Also, I don't have a Windows 8 Pro Product key, because apparently it's embedded in the BIOS.
I'm at a loss as how to go about this thing. I bought a Windows 8 Pro machine, I want to be able to use Windows 8.1 Pro. I mean, it should be possible, right? The stickers and purchase order all state Win8 Pro as the OS.
P.S. There's also a 20GB partition on my SSD for Lenovo Repair & Recovery? Is that usable somehow? Why is it there?
Advice? Walkthroughs? I'm completely frustrated with the lack of Product Key.
I've done several upgrades and clean installs on previous computers, but I've never felt limited like this....
Solved!

Hi clen3k,
You might not have to do that, but nowadays USB optical drives are very inexpensive and you should be able to find a drive even where you are located.
But, back to the original question. Seeing as how Windows 8 was preloaded and your machine was downgraded to Windows 7, your recovery partition should contain the Windows 8 OS. I say, "should".
Have you loaded anything into the Windows 7 OS that you don't want to lose? Loading Windows 8 might be as simple as booting into Rescue and Recovery and returning the machine to factory settings. Or, just go into Rescue and Recovery from the desktop and return the machine to factory settings. Once you are in there you should be able to see what OS Recovery is going to install.
Only thing is if you don't like Windows 8, you will have to jump through a few hoops to get Windows 7 installed back onto your machine.
I would suggest getting yourself an external hard drive if you don't already have one and doing a backup of the current OS before you start so you could return the machine back the way it is now if something messes up. No matter what happens, down the road you will want to do current backups on a regular basis anyway so you need to have something to do those backups on.
Regards,
Dave

MacBook Pro Snow Leopard Software Upgrade Help!

I recently upgraded to Yosenity, and noticed my computer lags a bit (spinning wheel thing). I downgraded back to Snow Leopard via cd. Now my iTunes will not read my iPhone and when I upgrade the software, it is stuck on that aura screen. What should I do if I want to stay in Snow Leopard?
I assume I need to upgrade to the latest Snow Leopard to get my iTunes working properly. I think I would want to download iTunes 11 after I update Snow Leopard. Is it possible that since the updates need the internet that Apple does not support Snow leopard upgrades anymore?

Ok so I solved it I think. I restarted my comp, hard restart and then only checked Snow Leopard and ITunes to be updated. Now that seems to be updating itself like normal.

DVD Studio Pro is being really buggy, help needed.

The main menu has been authored with the tracks included but the other day i ran into a problem. On the "writing lead-out" it just got stuck. Nothing occured for hours and the dvd burner kept making this weird noise. I was forced to force quit the program and retry. The second time it worked perfect. The thing is when the master DVD pops out it doesnt seem to want to play on certain DVD players. It is almost as if it is just encoded to a degree where cheap dvd players will not read the dvd. Is there a solution to this problem? Thank you in advance.

David,
I believe the problem is just that, top deck players. We do encode using compressor. I authored it again but a lot differently. Sure to not use the same footage in the dropzone as in track 1. I feel if you drop too many of the same things while authoring that are included in Tracks that it some how gets confused at times. As for Toast i believe we will be getting that, just so we can burn at a much slower speed. I just did some tweaks and it is working fine once again. I found a compatability list of top deck players that helps alot. I thank you all for your time and help. Even little things you have said have helped set my mind in a new direction. I really appreciate your help.Here is the link i found for compatability with DVD-R's http://www.customflix.com/Customer/Compatibility.jsp

Beige G3 upgrade help needed

Hello everybody.
I have a few questions about upgrading the G3 if anyone would be willing to help.
First of all, I must tell you that I am new to the apple world, having been for most of my life a PC/windows user.
The story so far:
I was given a beige G3 desktop by a friend who had upgraded to the G5. I decided to use the G3 as a web browser and general 'lifestyle' computer as I use my PC for business.
However the G3 was a little old and outdated as it was for my needs.
G3 266MHz
256MB RAM
6 MB VRAM
6GB HDD
Mac OS 8.6
I couldn't even get it online as the modem cable had been lost long ago (it had been connected to my friends office network)
I tried building a modem cable myself out of a printer cable and a PC modem cable and that, as you can imagine, failed in a major way.
I did a bit of research and found out that OSX can connect to a windows network so I set about getting a copy of jaguar.
Once I got hold of a copy of jaguar (from applerescue £28 inc delivery)
I installed it without a problem and connected to my windows network allowing me to utilise my existing broadband connection.
Excellent, thought I, but why stop there.
I have built and upgraded many pc's in my time and I had a few components hanging around. Will they work in the G3?
One way to find out.
The first problem I encountered was one of cables and space. As you all probably know the beige G3 does not have much room inside for extras.
I also found that the desktop case was not suited to the environment. It took up way too much space on my desk. I couldn't put the monitor on top of it as it is a big heavy 20inch crt (my friend is a graphic designer) and there is a shelf over my desk that prevents it. However there was a space under my desk which the case would fit in perfectly, if only it was on its side.
Merely putting the case on its side didn't help. The design of the case meant that the thing kept falling over. The cds would fall out too and I had no idea what damage it would do in the long term.
So, junior hacksaw and drill in hand, I set about a major conversion.
A day later I had sucessfully ripped all the components from the G3 case and fitted them in a standard ATX PC case. Now it fits under my desk perfectly.
I fitted the original apple PSU inside the case and fitted the ATX PSU on top.
I spent a little money online and got a 1GHz G3 upgrade from OWC.
(A brief word about OWC. Ordered Sunday evening, package delivered with no VAT or customs charges on Wednesday! Better delivery than a UK vendor and loads cheaper too!)
I used some PC100 RAM I had lying around from a previous PC build.
Standard crucial 184pin SDRAM. Worked no problem. I ordered an extra stick of RAM along with the CPU upgrade.
So I now have a G3 in a ATX tower case.
1GHz G3 CPU
768 MB RAM
Original 6 GB hard drive
Extra 17GB hard drive
Mac OS X
Loads of extra room inside for extras.
I run the hard drives and the motherboard plus a heatsink/fan on the CPU from the apple PSU and the optical drives and a few extra fans from the second PSU.
Sorry that was a long read but I tend to get carried away when I am talking about computers.
Here are some problems I am having which I hope you kind, clever people can help me with.
1. I have a missing hard drive.
I have two ATA hard drives on the internal IDE channel 0 which work fine-ish (see question 2)
I have the original apple CDROM as master on internal IDE 1 and a small 1GB hard drive as slave on internal IDE 1. The small hard drive doesn't show up on the desktop. I can see the drive in disk utility but I can't do anything with it. It is not greyed out but any erasing or partioning gets so far then just stops. However, opening disk utility during installation doesn't have the same problems. I can erase and partition the drive and it shows up with the second listing under the name of the disk. Once OS X is installed it shows up on the desktop perfectly functioning. Once I have restarted it is gone again.
I read somwhere that having a hard drive and CDROM on the same IDE channel can cause problems, is this what is happening here?
I have a yamaha CDRW on the internal SCSI bus, if I use that as my CD drive and remove the CDROM from the IDE channel will that help (I'll try that anyway)
2. The original apple hard drive works so much better than the extra drive I fitted. I installed a 17GB drive as master and have installed OS X on it but it is so slow. I know the drive is 4600rpm but I can't believe how much faster the apple hard drive is. I have installed OS X on both drives and the difference is stunning. With OSX installed on my 17GB drive it takes just over 14 minutes to boot up, with OSX installed on the apple 6GB drive it is more like 2 minutes. I know that the 17GB drive is old and slow but that is a big difference. Could it be a driver problem?
I have looked around online for drivers for the hard drive but, as I said before, being new to the apple side of computers I don't really know where to start looking.
3. I have installed an unsupported USB card. It seems to work fine. Everytime I boot up I get a message saying:
'over current warning - the usb device installed is drawing too much power, the hub it is attached to will be disabled.'
I click okay but the thing still works!
I have a wireless mouse plugged into it and it works fine even though it has been disabled.
Is this going to explode?
The words 'over current' sound scary.
4. Harking back to question 1. If I disconnect the CDROM on the internal channel to enable me to use my third hard drive, will I be able to boot from the SCSI CDRW?
5. Can anyone suggest a good system monitoring program? As mentioned I bought a CPU upgrade and I am a little suspicious about it. I want to know what speed it is running at. The docs that came with it say the the apple system profiler will not give the correct reading of CPU speed and I should use CPU director instead.
Call me cynical but is it possible that the CPU I bought is not what it says on the tin.
ASP says it is 333MHz and it should be 1GHz. CPU director does indeed say it is running at 1GHz but can I believe that? It is, in my opinion, possible to write a piece of software to give the wrong CPU speed thereby allowing someone to sell a 333MHz chip as a 1GHz chip and saying 'only our software can give correct readings'
I had the same thing with a broadband supplier recently. My connection was really slow for days. I ran several online speed checks to ascertain the speed. Out of the six speed checks only the suppliers own one said I was getting the connection speed I should have been, all the others gave really low speeds which reflected in the fact that it took an age for a web page to download, not something you should be getting on a 2Mbit connection.
On the phone to the suppliers customer services and they refused to take any speed check but theirs as true. I ran theirs and it always came up with the same number. 'Then your connection is working perfectly' they said. The five other speed checks and my own eyes told a different story but they wouldn't have any of it, instead telling me my PC was to blame, even going on to tell me to disable firewall and antivirus and run my PC in safe mode with no startup programs!! ********. Anyway, I want a third opinion about processor speeds so if anyone could tell me the name of a good program to do this (preferably free) I would be grateful.
Thanks for any help any of you can give me. I am learning more and more about apple hardware by the day and I am fast becoming one of the converted.

Hey guys,
thanks for answering so soon.
To answer the questions asked:
The motherboard is either a rev b or c. I remember checking this when I first had the idea of upgrading the cpu. I am not sure if it is a b or c but it is definately not rev a.
I think the cpu upgrade is working fine.
As Frank mentioned, it seems most of the cpu speed utilities use ASP for their information and give exactly the same speed reading.
I went a little more basic.
I ran CPU director and put the cpu speed at 333MHz and timed how long it took a few apps to open, then used CPU director to put the speed up to 1000MHz and timed the same programs again.
The speed difference was more than noticeable so from this I can only assume the CPU is running at 1GHz.
I have installed 9.2 on a seperate partition but it seems to be a weird version.
It came with a freinds G5 software for his iMac and is labelled 'additional software'
I installed it on a whim (because I am like that) and it gave me 'classic support'
I can now run classic apps in OSX and I have, on occasion, been able to boot into the 9.2 system. Only occasionally though.
Once booted into the 9.2 system there is no optical drive support and hardly any of the options I remember from OS8.6.
From this I am assuming that it is a cut down version of 9.2 bundled with new iMacs to enable users to use classic apps.
That doesn't explain why sometimes I can boot into it though.
Any of you heard of something like that.
I am planning to purchase a full copy of 9.2 when funds allow.
I have disconnected the CDROM which is on the same IDE channel as my third hard drive and used the cuda button to force the motherboard to recheck its hardware. Upon boot though the only difference it made is that I didn't have a CDROM. The third hard drive was still awol.
The SCSI yamaha CDRW is bootable but that makes little difference as disconnecting my IDE CDROM makes no difference on whether or not I can see the third hard drive.
I do know about the 8GB partition and OSX is sitting on the first partition which is 7.95GB.
I tried using xpostfacto to get around this which kind of worked. It did allow me to put OSX on a larger partition but caused no end of problems at boot so I cleared NVRAM and erased all the hard disks and started afesh.
The 17GB hard drive is in fact 15.91 GB, sorry about that. It came in a PC I bought which was (incorrectly) labelled as having a 17GB hard drive and since then I have just called it the '17GB hard drive'.
Since I last wrote I have done a little more research on the hard drives and found that the 6GB original apple drive and the 15GB drive are both 5400rpm so that cannot be the problem.
Here is some more accurate information on the drives:
IDE 0-
Master - 15.91GB Fujitsu MPE3170AT - seems to work fine apart from the aforementioned slowness - first partition is 7.95GB with OSX installed.
Slave - 6GB Maxtor 90651U2 - works fine
IDE 1-
Master - Matshita CR57 CDROM - works fine and is bootable.
Slave - 1.19GB WDC AC21200H - this is the one I just cannot use or see.
SCSI internal - Yamaha CDRW - works fine and is bootable.
Could the problem be that I have overloaded the internal bus by having four devices on the IDE and a SCSI device?
I have since used a program called disk warrior which states that the 1GB WDC disk is of an unrecognisable format.
I have sucessfully used disk utility to zero it out but it makes no difference.
I think it may just be trashed.
The USB card is still a puzzle.
I am, right now, using a mouse plugged into the USB card which is, according to OSX, disabled.
Scratching of head.
Maybe it is still functioning because the apple PSU has lots spare to give because I have a second PSU taking a lot of the strain? I just don't know.
This whole boot time thing is puzzling to the extreme.
As I said before. I have installed OSX on the 6GB Maxtor drive and the machine starts up in under 2 minutes so I can only assume that there is no hardware problem elsewhere.
When I use the Fujitsu drive its 10 - 14 minutes. So from that it is logical to assume it is the hard drive. Maybe it has a really small cache or something. Or maybe the apple just doesn't like it much.
Once the machine is up and running it runs just fine. A few programs like entourage are a little slow to boot.
I don't know what the benchmark is as I have never used an Apple except this one.
For instance safari takes around 2 seconds for the icon to stop bouncing and about 5 seconds in total to be up and have loaded the home page. Is that about normal?
Another question I have to ask you fine fellows.
Can you move some of OSX's built in applications and utilities to a seperate partition and still have them function properly?
I would like to use the apple hard drive as the OSX installation disk but at 6GB, once I have installed the OS there ain't much room left for anything else.
I have already installed MS office and Appleworks and a few other apps to a separate partition and they work fine.
I suppose though that if I did that and the problem is slow access to the fujitsu disk, once I installed OSX to the apple disk and installed apps to the fujitsu disk I would still have problems accessing those apps.
i don't know really. I think I am going to have to take the machine apart again and experiment until I can find the problem.
Another quick question.
Could it be RAM? Surely either RAM works or it doesn't right?
My system is correctly identifying the 768megs of RAM, if there was a problem with the 512MB of PC100 RAM I installed it just wouldn't show up.
Anyway, thanks for all your help so far,
I think I am going to save some cash and buy a new Apple machine - any suggestions which?
Broddr.

Video graphics card upgrade help needed

Hello,
I have an HP elite h8 1010 and am looking to upgrade my video card, and, if i must, my psu also. My budget for the graphics card is 150-250 and if i need the psu I'm not looking to spend more than $300(ish) for both. Any suggestions?
I currently have a radeon 9600gt and a thermaltake 430wt model tt-8020a. I'm being overwhelmed with the technical jargon that is discussed when buying the graphics card and meeting the system requirements for same including the minimum wattage of the psu to run the card, including the space required to fit the card. I do have enough space for a dual slot card, but some of these cards are extra long and I'm not sure how to determine if they will fit inside this case. I was interested in this card or something similar...
EVGA GeForce GTX650Ti Boost SuperClocked 2GB GDDR5 192bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card
Thanks.

HI Bigst79.
I will be pleased to assist you with some information on graphic cards. I totally understand that all the technical jargon, can be overwhelming, and hard to comprehend.
Rest assured I am here to help!!
After viewing the specifications you provided you will notice the interface on yours is different then on the card you are looking at. When you look at your specification, click on graphics. You will notice that it does not lists PCLR 3.0 but rather PCI Express x16. You can purchase a PCL 2,0 card and it should be backwards compatible.
I am also including the specifications for the card you were looking at purchasing click here. If you will notice under the requirements it does tell you the minimum power supply is 400 watt.
I hope this helps to explain what you need to consider when purchasing the card.,
Please let me know what you decide as I would very much like to know.

Quicklookd quit unexpectedly-started with mavericks upgrade- help needed?

I've been getting continuous problem reports on my mac ever since I upgraded to mavericks on quicklookd quitting unexpectedly. I use this application a lot for quick previews on jpeg and tiff files. I’ve looked at similar problems like this over the net, but none of them are quite like mine since their identifier, path, and parent process all differ. I did run into an answer that suggested I delete the source file (quicklookd), but I’m afraid that if I do that the quick look function will be completely unusable.
I have 10.9.2 version, and this is the report that keeps popping up

CPS patch upgrade help needed

Hello,
We are planning to upgrade CPS Version: Build: M26.8 to CPS Version: Build: M26.19.
So if anybody who did this earlier can post the links, idea how to do this.
It would be great help.........

Anju

Hi Anju,
Deploying the new version using JSPM or SDM, that should do everything for you (stopping the current installation, upgrading the central installation and then starting everything again).
Regards,
Anton.

Sim 8.1 upgrade help needed

For the upgrade we executed db scripts for upgrading database from 7.0 to 7.1 and from 7.1 to 8.1. And we did a fresh installation of 8.1 and pointed to this repository.
And we imported the update.xml that comes with 8.1
Just wanted to confirm if the update.xml of version 7.1 should also have been imported.

The steps to be followed are this
1) make configurator password default to configurator
2) upgrade the repository from 7.1 to 8.1
3) Do not do a fresh install of 8.1 instaead run the upgrade script on idm 7.1 instance to upgrade it to 8.1

Car audio upgrade help needed

I have a 2006 Chevy Tahoe and will be putting a new reciever in with usb input, jack input, and satellite ready. What else do I need for this install?

Hi wilmlow3,
It sounds like you've got it covered, but I would stop in and talk to the install bay tech and make sure. Nothing worse than trying to install car fi equipment and finding out you're missing something.
Good luck! And thanks for posting.

OS6 upgrade - help needed!

I have a BlackBerry Bold 9700 on O2 and would like to upgrade to OS6 but I cannot seem to do so. I received a text message regarding the update, I have followed the instructions and read the info on the BB website but to no avail, and it's driving me crazy!
I have a MacBook and I read that all I have to do to upgrade is plug my phone in and open Desktop Manager. I've done this but nothing happens. I've checked for updates and been told none are available. I've reinstalled Desktop Manager but again nothing happens.
Please can you offer me some pointers on how to sort this out before I go completely insane?!

On a pc, you can install ANY carriers OS release!
Follow these instructions EXACTLY as it says:
Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
1. First, download from this link: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=02A32AD2669E6FE298E607FE7CC0E1A0&dl=...
2. Do a FULL backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry.
3. Save the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup)
then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed)
6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
enjoy the new OS.

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.
