Windows 8 RTM bits officially coming soon

Windows 8 RTM for IT Pros and developers will be coming August 15th (via Technet and MSDN). I wonder if Lenovo officially supports upgrading our PCs to Windows 8 then.
I have the A720 and mysteriously, the C: drive is the larger, HDD whereas the D: drive is the smaller, SSD. I don't want to simply start the installation from within Windows 7 because then it will install on C: drive which is not what I want.
I could blow away the entire existing install and start from scratch with the SSD for install but I suspect there is some Lenovo magic happening behind the scenes (as in, it is using the SSD for system use even though Windows seems to be installed on C: drive). I don't want to mess with that, if I can avoid it.
Is there a Lenovo recipe for upgrading to Windows 8 on this PC?

the current of windows 10 is Build 9879. you can download the ISO link below. or if you want to wait for the next build coming next week. I believe MS block the upgrade for previous build for the next build coming next week.
Build 9879 Enterprise direct download link:

  • Does Windows 7 64-bit "officially" support CS4 64-bit?

    Just saw a post here that says, "...be aware that PS is not supported on Windows 7. Some people have got it going though," as well as other posts about CS4 doing odd things in Win7.
    Just got a new i7-950/9GB/GTX-285 machine and Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I'm eager to upgrade my old CS2 to CS4.  Should I expect issues when I install CS4 64-bit in Win7?  Should I wait for a later build?
    Many thanks!

    This is a matter of terminology.
    Saying "Not supported by Adobe" means they have not added it to the system requirements. (Not surprising since when CS4 was tested, Windows 7 was not available in its released form.)
    It is obvious if you read a bit in this forum that lots of people are running different versions of Photoshop under Win7 without any problems.

  • [ Windows 7 64-bit ] External speakers / headphones not working

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from a MacBook 13.3" (Late 2008) to the brand new MacBook Pro 13.3" (Mid 2010). Sound wasn't a problem in Windows 7 64-bit on the old MacBook, but the new MacBook has somehow messed up the line-out signal to my external speakers (and headphones).
    I obviously already tested everything in OSX and didn't find a problem. The internal speakers also work fine in Windows 7 64-bit, but as soon as I connect external speakers (and headphones) in Windows 7 64-bit there's just silence. The speakers are powered, and the playback sound device information (and the volume bars) suggest that all sound devices are working normally, i.e. Speakers, Headphones and +Digital Audio (S/PDIF)+. The chipset is Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 13).
    Has anyone else come across this issue, and if so, how did you solve the problem?

    Hi,
    After googling for two days, I finally found a workaround for my macbook pro 15'' (macbookpro5,3).
    I had sound on Windows 7 64bits (with volume ok) and without the red light problem, but i couldn't hear anything from my tv with sound cable connected to headphones. My current version of bootcamp is 3.1 (with all drivers installed from it).
    I tried all kind of things (drivers from vista64, xp, bootcamp 2.2, realtek, other versions of cirrus drivers, etc.) with no luck. THE SOLUTION FOR ME WAS TO INSTALL LATEST DRIVERS FROM NVIDIA (YES, graphics drivers) OVERRIDING THOSE FROM BOOTCAMP 3.1. After macbook restart, MY EXTERNAL SPEAKERS STARTED WORKING!!!
    Hope this helps to anyone.

  • F3507g 64 bit drivers for Windows 7 RTM - where can i find them.

    Does any one know where i can find the 64 bit drivers for Windows 7 RTM for the F3507g

    The reason that threadjacking is frowned on (as mentioned in the terms use which you can read by clicking the link to the right on this page) is for the most part a practical one:
    By starting your own thread your problem can get individual attention, focussed on your particular set of circumstances.
    By joining somebody else's older thread it becomes tricky to answer more than one question at the same time, and can lead to confusion for both parties.
    So if you don't mind the minor inconvenience, please start your own thread (in the correct forum) so we can get to grips with your particular problem. Please include details of your computer and operating system.

  • Coming Soon from Apple an Update to Safari for Windows ...

    ... with a lot of missing features:
    Read at
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    Coming Soon
    Support for International users
    International text input methods
    Advanced text (contextual forms, international scripts)
    Localized menus and help
    NTLM support
    PAC file auto-detection
    FTP directory listings
    Link to proxy settings from Safari (Safari respects the proxy settings in the Windows Internet control panel)
    Cookie management
    LiveConnect support
    Tooltips
    Spell checking
    Printing page numbers, titles, margins
    (...)

    Yes, the question was not directed at you, even if I might have appreciated if you had made something up, just to make me happy.
    The question was more directed at Apple, who have not been brilliant with the communication regarding Safari for Windows. Example: For several days they proudly presented Safari for Windows on the main page of their Japanese web site, even though one of the most glaring limitations was that the first betas would not work in Japanese - at all.
    In contrast to many people in this forum, I do not mind that there are serious limitations and bugs in the beta. However, I am disappointed that Apple does not list the problems up front.

  • Upgrading form Windows 7 32 bit RTM to 64 bit

    I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to get a windows 7 64 bit installation download of DVD.  I did get the 32bit RTM, which was a mistake;  I should have gotten the 64Bit Vista downgrade, instead of the 32 Bit one.  Its probably too late too late to change my selection from lenovo.  However my understanding is that the lisence, RTM or not, is good for both the 32bit and 64bit versions.  With that being the case, I should only need the Installation disk or an equivalent download. 
    Any ideas?

    Ok thanks for the info,
    I'll try and contact microsoft again and try and find the right person to talk to; I'll let you know if I find anything useful.  Thanks for all your help.  One quick question for now though, what is "OEM VLK"?
    FYI for anyone who is trying to go from the 32bit rtm to the 64 bit counter part.  I have already tried calling Micro soft tech support once who sent me on the the Microsoft Store who said the only way for me to upgrade would be to buy the WIndows 7 professioanl upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premier edition, which is roughly $140 which frankly is asinine, especially when I'm trying to go from Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Hopefully with enough calls to teck support I will get someone who has a clue and can get me to the right person to talk to. However, if this ends up being the only option, can you belive how bat it would have been if Microsoft did not have to compete with Linux, I mean this would be one more reason for the world to switch to linux.
    As a side note:   You know I whish Microsoft would have one place for these kind of things and alwasy remain consistant.  For example, if you go to The Microsoft windows 7 page and click on the link to see the differences between windows 7 pro and ultimate they list only two differences, bit locker and multiple lnguage capability, between the two which are more or less useless for me (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/compare/default.aspx).   However, during my research regarding this problem I happen to come uppon a file called "Windows 7 Product Guide.pdf" (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B3C68EC2-E726-4830-AC89-31C71D6BE5F3&displa...) that lists even more differences, differences that seem to better justify the price difference between windows 7 professional and ultimate. 
    And then in other references I have seen something called windows 7 N and Windows 7 NK; What the heck is that?

    Hi @dazed1 ,
    I see by your post that you need the drivers for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I would like to help.
    I checked the website and there is a Full Feature and Basic driver available for Windows 7 64 bit.  HP LaserJet 1022n Printer Drivers. Did you try both of these drivers?
    I would try and install the preinstalled Windows drivers, if you are having issues using the downloaded drivers on the site with your Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Run the Add a printer wizard from Devices and Printers.
    You could also plug and play the drivers. Connect the printer to the computer and see if Windows will detect the printer and install the drivers automatically.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • How I did install Windows 7 64 bits on my IMac Core 2 Duo

    Hey,
    after wondering around, I'll just drop here how I finally found my way, so someone doesn't take days to find the proper tips and tricks and avoid the dead ends I went to.
    Problem :
    - Windows 64 DVD doesn't even start on my IMac Core2Duo 2,8Ghz (2007 model, I think) (something with the booting system) (the 'Choose DVD coot type' issue) ; Windows 7 RC1-32 bits used to
    - If you find how to make, it, then your DVD hardware seems to be no more recognized (the 'Please provide DVD-ROM drivers' issue)
    => faking Windows 7 DVD was a dead end
    So, after, I tried to install it on hard disk using a Virtual MAchine emulator :
    Starting with Snow Leopard :
    Setting up bootcamp partition and boot system :
    1) I restarted Bootcamp process from scratch (removed and recreated windows partition)
    2) I installed Windows 7 RC 1-32 bits with the image you may find somewhere on the web (could work with an older 32 bits windows) ; don't forget to reformat Bootcamp partition during install or you'll get stuck
    => now, the partition and Mac booting process are set up properly
    Installing Windows 7 64
    3) I reboot on MacOS, then launched the Parallel virtualisation stuff (I own it, but it may work with the trial version)
    4) I created a bootcamp Virtual Machine, so my 32 bits Windows 7-RC1 on the Bootcamp Partition ran in Parallel
    5) I started Windows 7 64 bits installation directly from Parallel :
    a) inserted the DVD, connect it to the virtual machine from the Configure panel the usual way,
    b) in the Configure panel, I made the DVD come first in the boot order (before hard drive)
    c) I reboot my virtual machine in Parallels and let it go
    6) when Windows 7 64 bits started, I didn't reformat Bootcamp Partition, it was already ok, I just followed the flow
    After everything went ok, I had Windows 7 64 bits up and virtually running from my Bootcamp partition.
    The real boot
    7) I shut down that Windows 7 64 bits from the Virtual machine (windows menu>Shut down)
    8) I reboot my IMac and... yeehaa ! Windows 64 was running.
    Installing Bootcamp 64 bits drivers for Windows 7 64
    I finally found a good french blog post on how to tweak Bootcamp64 launcher to tolerate Windows 7 and install 64bits drivers as it was Vista :
    http://www.cnetfrance.fr/blog/comment-installer-boot-camp-sur-windows-7-39703366 .htm
    In english, it means :
    In windows 7 :
    a) I found and downloaded Orca, an MSI file editor (easy to find on google)
    b) I copied Bootcamp folder from my Snow Leopard DVD to my desktop (or wherever I could edit them)
    c) I did edit the Bootcamp/Drivers/Apple/BootCamp.msi file with Orca
    d) I just dropped, removed in the "Table" list the entry called "LaunchCondition" (Table list is the left part of the Orca window)
    e) I started bootcamp and it runs the usual way
    And now, I'm ok, playing (my old games in 32 bits compatibility mode ), with Bootcamp up and running.
    Hope it'll help

    No easy fix for a few reasons:
    1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
    2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
    I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
    Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
    Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
    My recomendations:
    1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
    2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
    3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.

  • I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

  • How to Install Windows 8 RTM on a T530 - special tips for NVS5400

    Windows 8 RTM may be a finished product, but getting all devices to work on a laptop can be difficult.  I hope that this advice saves time for anyone who wishes to try out Windows 8 on a new Thinkpad.  Needless to say, what worked for me may not work in your situation, and I recommend staying with Windows 7 if reliability and productivity are your main concerns.  Remember that you will need to reinstall Windows 8 when it is officially released, because there is no upgrade path from the Enterprise RTM preview.
    1.  Image your working installation with Acronis TrueImage or similar tools.  These instructions are for a clean install.
    2.  Before logging off for the last time, be sure that the Wifi and Bluetooth are enabled.  If Bluetooth is switched off, Windows 8 will not be able to see it.
    3.  If you are using Windows 8 64 bit, I recommend switching the BIOS to UEFI only.  This seems to make everything easier.  UEFI doesn't recognize NTFS, so you must format a USB drive with FAT32 and then simply copy the contents of the Windows 8 ISO over to the USB.  For Windows 8 32 bit, leave the legacy boot compatibility enabled.
    4.  Install from the DVD or USB key.  If you are using UEFI, you will have to delete all existing partitions and install on the unallocated space.  UEFI requires a GPT partition, which it will create automatically.
    Drivers -- the difficult part
    Set a system restore point now and another one before installing any new video drivers.
    I first installed the Windows 7 Intel chipset driver update.  I am not sure this is necessary, but it updates the SATA and USB3 drivers.
    I installed the Lenovo power management driver from the Lenovo Windows 8 driver page, and then installed the Power Manager App from the T530 page.  It will occasionally crash when opened, but will work well enough to change settings.  I also installed the Windows 7 hotkey application, which works in Win8.  Likewise, the Windows 7 audio drivers work.
    If the Windows 7 Ricoh driver for your laptop doesn't load, try the Windows 8 beta version.  One works, the other refuses to load.  I'm afraid I don't remember which is which.
    I installed the Intel Management adapter 8.1 from the Windows 8 beta page, and it loaded with no problems.
    If you don't have a NVS5400, then you should be done.  If you do, then you must NOT install the Windows 7 video drivers.  They will cause an endless loop on boot.  Update the Intel video driver manually if you wish (via device manager).  You can run the Win7 driver program, let it extract the contents, and then cancel before it starts the setup program.  I am using 9.17.10.2768 for the Intel HD 4000.
    I went to the Nvidia site to get the latest Win8 beta NVS5400 (mobile) driver.  Choose the ODE version.  I am using version 304.79.   I installed this (leaving out 3D, which I don't use) and it seems to work perfectly.  Photoshop CS5 recognizes it as a valid OpenGL device.

    It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
    Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

  • DM v6 for Windows 7 64 bit?

    I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit , Ooutlook 2010 (also 64bit) with DM v6 and a BB Storm 9550 with OS 5.0.0.1015.  Since my machine is 64 bit, the first time I tried running synch on DM did not work since it said I had a 64 bit version of Outlook (and that I needed to reinstall a 32 bit version....yeah right!).
    Anyway, I bought a separate piece of software called CompanionLink which worked fine under the previous OS version (5.0.0.713).  When Verizon sent me the upgrade of 5.0.0.1015 I installed it and now my synch is a total mess.  I had to wipe all the data from my BB, reinstall DM and CompanionLink but the synchs are not working very well now.
    I will VERY probably go back to OS 5.0.0.713 but I was wondering if anyone knew if Intellisynch would be coming out with a 64 bit version (Windows 7 AND Outlook 2010) anytime soon?
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
    RIM is working on a new version of the BlackBerry Desktop Software and from the KB article linked to below, we should expect to see the new version of the Desktop Software with 64-bit Office support relatively soon (likely in the early near year).
     KB17149
    As a further heads up, Microsoft does not actually recommend installing the 64-bit version of Office 2010 unless you have a need for the advanced analyses that can be run using the 64-bit version.  For most users, the 32-bit version is all that is required.

  • Itunes 10.7.0.21 on windows 7 64 bit

    I installed the latest itunes version 10.7.0.21 on windows 7 64bit and now I cannot open itunes. Any suggestions?

    I seem to be having the same issue.  I'm on Win 7 x64, iOS6 for iPad and iPhone 4S and itunes 10.7 (downloaded yesterday/today).  I've tried unistalling and reinstalling all apple software on my PC and running iTunes in compatability mode (both Windows 7 mode and XP SP2 and SP3). 
    From what i can tell, it almost seems that even though the install if for 64 bit, its still only running as a 32 bit program but trying to call additonal memory (memory leak?).  I have 8 Gb ram in my PC but itunes seems to cause it to peg out at the 3 Gb limit (32 bit windows memory limit).  Unless i'm missing something or just didnt notice this before, task manager seems to confirm this as it lists the itunes process as itunes.exe *32. 
    It seems to start off the sync normally, but gets hung up when transfering purchases (apps that were updated on my iphone/ipad instead of through itunes).  It appears that the download of the apps works but gets hung up when it's validating the file.  The same thing happens when clicking "Update Apps".
    I'm glad to see that it's not just me having this problem.  Hope there's a patch coming soon.

  • Force 64 bit Elements 10 to install on Windows 8 64 bit

    I have found only one refernece to this issue...and all anybody responded to was "it should this...it should that...."
    I mean, hasn't anybody actually tried to install elements 10 on the final windows 8 64 bit yet??
    Really? I am the first one....?
    Well anyway...I have tried installing straight from the 64 bit folder....NO GO
    I tried compatiblity on autorun...NO GO...
    I keep getting to "install in X86...blah blah"
    I have Premiere/Elements 10 disk. trying to install off of DISC 2.
    COMPAQ desktop
    AMD 64 X2
    Thanks for any ideas!!!
    Wally
    I

    Thanks for fast reply!!
    ...I'd watch for the next version of Premiere Elements to be fully compatible with it. But it's hard to hold Adobe responsible for an operating system that didn't even exist when the program was developed!
    Yeah, I know, but it is just so frustrating to be looking at the 64bit install folder and adobe wont let me do it! It says I have to use the root install so it can make it's own decision of what OS I have.
    Instead of doing what most software makers do (If 64 bit OS install 64 bit software)
    It's doing:
       Is this windows 64 bit? YES.  is this windows 7 64 bit? NO. Is this Vista 64 bit? NO. Well then it must be XP 64 bit! No Install for you!
    We are just talking about a badly written init file.
    And yes I have never written a piece of software in my life and have no idea what I am talking about.
    It's just that we are not talking about a compatbility problem that is preventing an install....mislocations of necessary folders, program errors...I am sure of it. We are talking about a simple edit on install that I had hoped would be on the online verision...that I just tried to download and install to no avail.  I mean, doest anybody try to install these things like 10 months ago in Adobe and just fix the tiny thing on the "online install" and have it ready by RTM ?
    It is just frustrating, if they would at least let me try to install it instead of me waiting months and spending more money for a simple fix.
    anyway I understand what you are saying, I shouldn't fault them...
    But people will be buying this "64 bit" version of Elements well into windows 8 release and assume they are  installing 64 bit software because they chose the 64 bit disc not the 32 bit...
    Many people will miss the "X86" on install and that's not right.
    I havent had one problem with 64 bit programs defaulting to 32 bit on any of my other dual bit installs from other companies.
    Millions of windows 8 have been downloaded....I don't feel so cutting edge with it coming out in a few weeks. I just don't understand how there is no mention of this sneaky issue on this planet with 7 billion people on it, i am not that clever
    Oh it's so stupid to be this frustrated on a sunday morning. I'm just venting Steve, sorry!
    Still if anybody has any tricks up thier sleaves besides a virtual windows 7 enviroment....or if it is just me and they have installed it fine...let me know!

  • LWAPP upgrade tool and Windows 7 (64 bit)

    I know this tool does not have a version for windows 7 but the company foisted the OS off on me to "Test" It works fine with windows 7 32 bit but I have windows 7 64 bit.
    So, I was attempting to install and use the autonomous to LWAPP tool to upgrade an 1131 AP to LWAPP. I DL'ed version 3.4 which is the most current I could find. unfortunately, it gives me an error installing saying it could not read from the IPUT file and after installation it is convinced I already have a TFTP server running, which I do not. In addition to all that, when attempting to Uninstall the tool it says _SETUP.DLL is missing.
    With that information in hand I found the _SETUP.DLL on another machine I use and copied it over which resulted in no improvements of note. I did register the dll as well. Any ideas?

    I assume you are using the RTM (Release To Manufacturing) version. I would suggest, if possible, you might want to use the new XP Virtual PC feature (run XP on Windows 7), if the version of Windows 7 you are running supports it. I think the VM runs XP SP3 32-bit.

    You could also try changing the advance properties of the executable and indicate that it should be run in "compatability mode" of Windows XP 32-bit (I think that's an option, but my Windows 7 computer is at home)
    Whatever route you take, you will receive no support from Cisco in this configuration. If you can avoid it, it might be better to not do LWAPP upgrades with Windows 7 until something official comes out.
    petenugent - please be aware that Windows 7 was released to many people on August 6th. The general public release (of the exact same media) is due on October 22.
