I phoned Microsoft Support and was told that my wifi driver was out of date and that this needs to reinstalled. I have had a look at available downloads for network drivers but I am unsure how to establish which one I need.... there are 4 options.
Â
Under Device Manager > Network Adapters, there was only one driver which needed update according to this. The Realtek PCle  FE Family Controller. When I checked for updates here is said that it had updated successfully, but I am STILL unable to connect to the internet.
I have an HP Pavilion 15z p000 with Beats Audio running Windows 8.1. Â I want to upgrade the memory (RAM), but I don't see any access panels on the underside of the notebook that would make it easy to change the memory cards. Â I didn't find any diagrams or instructions in the user manual, and I haven't found any way videos on the internet. Â I'm pretty handy with computers and upgrading hardware, so I'm not afraid of taking things apart and putting them back together.

Â
I tried to install Windows 7 last night and I wasn't be able to do so because of Legacy Support and UEFI etc.
Â
After that, little search on the web and I think I will be able to install windows 7 now. However, when I was searching on the web I realized there are many people have the same problem includign drivers problems. Then I find out that G6 2300st does not have W7 drivers.

Well I ended up slapping another copy of win 7 on my laptop as I got sick of waiting.
My Dell Win 7 DVD came today. It also includes the COA to put at the bottom next to the Vista one.
Also a neat little bonus was a "Easy Upgrade DVD" which has all the Windows 7 drivers on it. It also updates the X-Fi MB to work with Win 7.
So I got my computer this past August and registered my system for the Windows 7 free upgrade in October.
On the 22nd, when windows 7 came out, i went back to Dell's website where i had previously registered my computer and saw that i could now enter shipping info.
After doing so, I placed my order and later got a confirmation email that my order had been received. I checked the status of this order and saw that it said "Processing
I'm thinking about pre-ordering Windows 7 Home Premium to upgrade from my Vista Home Premium (32 bit) on my Studio 15. I've ran Windows Upgrade Advisor and under "Devices" it listed about six items that said "Run Windows Update after installing Windows 7 to make this device compatible" while everything else said "This device is compatible with Windows."
I had four items DigitalPersona Personal 3.1.0, Dell Support Center (Support Software), Dell Dock, and Dell Video Chat (remove only) that said "You might experience minor issues using this program while running Windows 7. For more information, go online to the manufacturer's website."
1. So can I expect the above four items not to work after the upgrade and is there any other surprises I should be aware of?
2. With the Windows 7 Upgrade is there an option to do an upgrade install in addition to a full install?
3. I've never installed Windows before or did an Windows Upgrade how difficult is this going to be, will files in "My Documents" be transferred? Will I have to reinstall all my programs?
I had bought an Acer laptop with Vista Home Premium 32 bit in the period before the launch of Windows 7, and applied for the free Windows 7 upgrade kit.
Acer sends an upgrade disc that is of the same type as your Vista OS.
So I got an upgrade disc for Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, as well as a product key on the COA.
What I want to ask is whether it is possible for me to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit through a clean install by finding a friend with the normal retail Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade DVDs, using the 64 bit DVD and then entering the product key that came with my Acer 32 bit Windows 7 HP upgrade disc.
Has any one here received their windows upgrade 7 from Acer yet? Please can you tell me if the 64bit version is included or is it 32bit only?

I just registered on the win7.dell.com website for my brother and noticed that he was getting the 64bit version of windows 7, which is strange because he has a 32bit version of vista.
Just to throw this out there, I was wondering if everyone else was getting the 64bit version as well.
Currently running vista 32 and I want to upgrade to windows 7 64 but on the dell device driver's page there is no support for windows 7. Only XP and Vista drivers are listed.
Will the drivers automatically update through Windows 7 or do I try to find the drivers myself?
According to dell site here:

I am considering the Dell Vostro 1520 as a laptop but I am confused about the windows upgrade option (I would get Vista Home Premium to be able to get it as a start). Here's a link to the page:
http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/n...20&s=bsd&cs=04
I was under the initial impression that any dell laptop sold in the few months before Win 7 released would be eligible for the free upgrade.
But when I look in the lineup there's one that says "Windows 7 ready" for an extra $140?? Is that the only one that gets the free upgrade? It's not really free then and why not just buy it separately?
I recently purchased a VGN-SR490PBB which came with preinstalled XP Pro. According to all the literature, I am entitled to a Windows 7 Pro (32-bit) upgrade.
I proceeded to install the Recovery Media Kit that came with my laptop. The recovery media says basically, "Use this Recovery Kit to recover the preinstalled operating system and applications..."
It installed Vista Ultimate (64-Bit). I am being shipped the Windows 7 Pro (32-bit) upgrade from Mentor Media. So you can probably see the issue already, 64-Bit OS installed, 32-Bit upgrade disks in the mail. Not going to work.
So here's what happened so far (whole process below took 2-hours).
1. Chatted with a live person from Sony's Tech Support person, who directed me to Mentor Media .....
I just made my weekly call to Mentor Media and this is the first time someone spent enough time to tell me something potentially encouraging about my Windows 7 upgrade. She indicated that this week they finally (her word) have given them some information when things would ship. She said my order would ship within 3-5 business days – maybe before – and encouraged me to call back Friday for an update. She said that e-mails typically go out 24-48 hours after it has actually shipped, and to not necessarily expect the web site status to change. Somehow I sensed she maybe knew something concrete this time instead of just having to say that they didn’t know.
I’m cautiously optimistic.
I already bought a new upgrade license for Windows 7 and was about ready to install it on my Acer, but hearing this am going to hold off a bit longer in hopes that I can save it to use on my older Vista desktop. Hope I’m not hung out to dry again being suckered into waiting just a bit longer …
Has anyone that has received their upgrade kit found that it does a BIOS upgrade? The BIOS on my Acer M1202 is SLIC 2.0 compliant and presumably won’t allow any OEM activation key to work on it until it’s 2.1 compliant. Just curious how they are doing this.
I have a Sony VAIO VGN-FZ240E and found out on release day that Sony will not support me in upgrading my Windows Vista system to Windows 7. I had purchased a pre-release from Microsoft of the Home Premium version.
I have seen some replies in other treads that imply that some users have been partially successful and would like this tread to be the master for solutions. Do not use this tread to rant about Sony - even if you are mad as hell just like I am
