Windows 10 Free Upgrade and USB Recovery Creation

With the free Windows 10 upgrade coming at the end of the month, what will happen when we try to create a new USB recovery drive?  I have created a USB recovery with the current Windows 8.1, will Acer be supporting this new upgrade?  (same drivers for laptop, etc..?)

check my answer under windows 10 section:http://community.acer.com/t5/Windows-10/Upgrading-to-Windows-10/td-p/370236/jump-to/first-unread-message by the way Acer will support windows 10 with newer drivers when available and tested.

  • Support for windows 10 FREE UPGRADE for E Machines EL1358G WITH NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE NForce 30

    i have an emachines EL1358g-51w that came with a NVIDIA GeForce 6450SE NForce 30 ( i believe motherboard ) and i went to upgrade my current windows 7 home basic to the new Windows 10 free upgrade ( which microsoft indicated that i was eligible for the free upgrade one month or so ago ) ..... on sunday i went to upgrade through microsoft now microsoft indicates " the display manufacturer ( emachines/acer ) hasn't made your display compatible with windows 10. check with the manufacturer for support "i went to the nvidia websight ...they indicate see emachines .... i went to the emachines websight ...they indicate see the acer websight ...the acer websight ( per their live agent ) indicates i have to wait until ACER does the update for my specific computer ...DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THIS UPDATE WILL BE AVAILABLE ...

    mrtease3,
    I do not see your unit listed as an eligible model that eMachines will be posting drivers for Windows 10. The drivers that we have posted on our support site are what we have qualified for the system, and based on the age of the unit there will not be newer ones uploaded. If you want to remove the installed graphics driver and try to install one directly from NVidia you can see if that will resolve it for you.

  • Window 8.1 upgrade and Edge 1.5.0

    I am still working with Edge version 1.5 (free software version) and have a serious amount of  Animate files which I preview using Chrome.  Recently, I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8.1 and now - it would seem - that none of the files will preview in the browser.  Loading of the files also seem sluggish.   I tried a couple of browsers to check - the usual suspects - but the Edge files v 1.5 will not load and preview.
    You can imagine my pain.  Ouch ouch! doesn't even cover it.  I was just wondering if anybody out there is experienencing a similar problem and can help.  I can only think that Edge A version 1.5 files are in conflict with the Windows 8.1 upgrade in some way?  If anybody can throw some light on this mucho appreciated amigoes.

    Thank you for your kind reply.  I have read the blog concerning compatibility issues with ei11 and can see that it may apply to my situation but I not totally convinced.  Can you please advise me on my concerns.  One solution on offer in the blog is to download Animate CC 2.0.1 and resave (none of my files have been published - I'm not there just yet).  I believe my cloud membership will allow me to trial Animate CC so I could resave all my files from a previous1.5.0 version.  So my question is this, if I resave my files in Animate CC 2.0.1 will they still open in the previous 1.5 version ? after the trail runs out?
    I only ask because at this point I am unable to commit to the paid Animate CC software just yet.  If the resaved files will open then I will give it a go as this seems the simplest way to solve the preview in browser issue I am experiencing. Thanks much appriciated.

  • Do u think free upgrades and coupons will go away on PCs when Win 7 is available 4 factory install?

    Okay, so it looks like HP releases their laptop special offers each week on Sunday. There are some decent upgrades on the HDX 18t. I wanted to wait for the factory install of Windows 7 to come out before ordering. I spoke to a CSR and she said the earliest I could order to have Windows 7 factory installed will be on October 18th. 
    My question is this, do you think that HP has some really good deals on computers trying to lull people into ordering now rather than waiting for the upgrade? Do you think we'll see these same types of offers once Windows 7 is released?
    Am I being paranoid in wanting to wait until I can get Windows 7 factory installed in order to avoid any potential upgrade issues? Or should I just pull the trigger when there are some some decent upgrades.
    Having never bought a laptop from HP, do they typically have free upgrades & coupons like this, or will these go away? 
    Thanks in advance! 

    As of know we don't have any information regarding the same however if you are using the windows 7 upgrade discs then it will there and if you are using retail version of Windows 7 then you might now receive...

  • No sound after Windows 10 free upgrade from WIN7 on G71-340US laptop with IDT CODEC.

    After free upgrade from WIN7 to WIN10 my laptop no longer has any sound (with internal or external speakers). I have tried uninstalling IDT driver and allowing Windows 10 to reinstall the driver through scan for HW changes - still no sound. I would appreciate any guidance or fixes for this problem. Thank you.

    I am happy to report I now have sound on my G71-340US laptop. After further trial and error troubleshooting I found that there is an app called IDT PC Audio (aka IDT HD Sound) installed on my laptop by HP (OEM) I think. While I'm not exactly sure what this app's function is it appears it is related to activating IDT HD Codec drivers functionality. Somehow I decided to look in Task Manager - Startup and saw this IDT PC Audio listed. I clicked on disable and then a minute later clicked on enable. After I did that, as simple as it appears, I now was able to hear sound both on internal and external speakers. This is the first time I heard any sound since upgrading to WIN10. I have checked it several times by re-booting my laptop and each and every time I now have sound. I'll continue to test this through the week and see if it continues to be OK. Meanwhile, I thought I would share this potential fix (or workaround) with all concerned. Perhaps others will find this useful and provide me your feedback. Keeping my fingers crossed! PS. BTW, if anyone out there knows what IDT PC Audio is by all means share your knowledge. I am curious why this app doesn't appear more often in the forum posts and how it may relate to the WIN10 upgrade. Sorry, but I don't recall what prompted me to look at Task Manager - Startup but I'm glad I did. It's great to hear sound again!

  • Window's XP, Labview, and USB device conflicts

    Hello,
        I have labview 2011 running on windows XP SP3 with all of the updates and the USB hotfix.
        I have several usb devices connected to my computer: 3 cameras, a picoammeter, a piezo drive controller, and an external hard drive.
        I wrote labview code to use one of the cameras to take time lapse imagery, and it works great, so long as none of the other devices are on/connected.  The second I plug in another USB device invariably I get an error message:
    "Error 178 occurred at GetSingleImage.vi
    This error code is undefined. Undefined errors might occur for a number of reasons. For example, no one has provided a description for the code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input. 
    Additionally, undefined error codes might occur because the error relates to a third-party object, such as the operating system or ActiveX. For these third-party errors, you might be able to obtain a description of the error by searching the Web for the error code (178) or for its hexadecimal representation (0x000000B2)."
    which according to the documentation is a USB transfer error.
    I was told to update Windows XP with the newest updates, I did and it didn't help.  Someone also suggested using Windows 7, but several of my devices arent supported by windows 7 currently, so I don't want to upgrade and lose those devices.
    The other thing is that when I use multiple devices with their respective software(not labview) they behave and play well together.  It's only when labview is accessing them that they don't behave and give me errors.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?  I've been trying to fix it for a while with no success

    We have a "monitoring" application that involves taking a short video (5 to 10 seconds) when a particular event occurs.  We used IMAQdx to acquire the images from an ethernet camera.  We are actually monitoring 24 sites simultaneously (and asynchronously), and as each of the cameras has its own IP address, it wasn't difficult to keep them "apart" from each other.
    We recently tried doing the same thing using a USB camera.  When we used a single camera (one station), things worked pretty well, but when we tried using multiple stations (2 or 3, let alone 24!), we got "interference".  We attributed it to overloading the bandwidth of the USB channel -- as we already had a viable and working solution with (more expensive!) Ethernet cameras, we shrugged and (for now) gave up on using multiple USB cameras.

    Hi Manu,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that the LAN and Wireless is not working as expected after updating to Windows 8.1, normally to avoid compatibility issue all the drivers should be updated when the computer is in Windows 8. Hence, I suggest you to perform “System Restore” and the follow the update procedure. Below is the link to perform “System Restore” then a link with exact Windows 8.1 upgrade procedure.

    Do post us back if the issue still persists.

  • Is the Sattelite L755-S5216 (Win7, SP1) compatable with the Windows 10 free upgrade?

    Hi,I'd like a response from someone with Toshiba. I assume the company monitors this board, though I know it is staffed by volunteers. I tried e-mailing my questions directly to support, but  my queries were returned. . Anyway...Has Toshiba developed a compatability guide identifying any issues with the upgrade and my product. If so, please send me a link to it; if not, when can such a guide be expected? As you know, Microsoft begins rollout on July 29th, so time is short and I need make a decision to reserve quickly. Thanks...

    Guides haven't been published yet, but people are working on them.
    We expect that the majority of Windows 7 models will be compatible, but this isn't final.
    As a quick aside, what e-mail were you using? Support doesn't offer e-mail services.

  • Windows 8.1 Upgrade and InDesign CC

    When I attempt to download from the download center I receive the following message "InDesign is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer"

    Im currently running Internet Explorer 11 from the Windows 8.1 upgrade. I've deleted all browsing history going to settings - internet options - delete, in browsing history. Restarted Internet Explorer. When attempting to download Creative Cloud I received the same message "Creative Cloud is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer." If I try any other app it gives me the same message. My subsription is only for the InDesign product and the other apps appear to be a trial version, however even when I attempt to download the trail i will get the same type of message.

  • Windows 8.1 upgrade and printing problema

    I recently upgraded my to windows 8 to 8.1 now when I print to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 it intermittantly leaves text out. 
    An example I can print a school test and it might print the some questions and some answer choices or omit the question but print the answer choices or only part of a question. It isn't consistant about what doesn't print or where it prints. My husband has windows vista and has not encountered any problems, so I'm thinking it is from the windows upgrade. Any thoughts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi jojomulherin,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I read your post and see that since upgrading to Window 8.1 the full text document isn't printing.
    I will be happy to help you.
    If you haven't already, I would uninstall and reinstall the printer software which should resolve this issue.
    Uninstalling HP Printer Drivers in Windows 8.

    Click on Driver - Product Installation Software and download the drivers. Select the Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Hope this helps.

  • T440s Windows 8.1 Pro and USB 3.0 dock not recognisin​g DVI LCD panel

    Perhaps somebody could help me here.
    When I connect the USB 3.0 dock to my T440s, I then cannot get the second LCD monitor to be recognised by Windows via the USB3.0.
    The monitor is not being recognised as it is is not seen as one of the optional displays in the 'Intel HD Graphics control panel' window.
    The driver however for the second monitor is fully up to date and it works fine when I connect the LCD to the VGA port directly on my computer.  Also the second monitor is being recognised partly by the windows OS as it comes up as a second screen under the 'screen resolution' window.
    My set up is shown below.  I am thinking that perhaps there is an issue with either the NVIDIA or Intel HD graphics chip. I read somewhere that windows uses one or the other depending on the load.  I am worried that there is some problem with that mechanism.
    Can anyone help or give me some advice on this?  All driver are up to date.
