You might need to upgrade a few hardware items first also you might upgrade to vista then windows 8 Creating a new partition on your hard drive gives your future version of Windows 8 a place to live on your drive. Knowing exactly how much space the OS requires helps you determine how large to make your partition. Size requirements don't tell the entire story on their own, though. Other factors like drive type and additional storage help ensure you get the best Windows 8 experience where your hard drive is concerned. Size Requirements Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 have the same system requirement regarding hard drive space, so if your hard drive can handle Windows 7, Windows 8 shouldn't be a problem. For 32-bit versions of the operating system, you'll need at least 16 GB of available disk space. The 64-bit version requires 20 GB. Your partition will have to be at least one of these sizes, depending on your OS version. The PC Advisor website warns that these are literally the bare minimum requirements, and using these figures leaves you hardly any space to save files and install apps or programs. Size Recommendations You'll get more out of Windows 8 if the operating system has enough free space for you to install your favorite programs and apps. PC World calls this extra space "breathing room," suggesting you give your Windows 8 partition at least 30 to 40 GB. If you're dual-booting with another operating system or you're accustomed to keeping excess data on a separate partition, 30 to 40 gigabytes should be fine. If you'd rather have all your songs, videos and PC games on the same partition as the operating system, consider giving it substantially more space. Solid State Drive Windows 8 works on traditional hard drives with spinning disks, but it's optimized to run on a solid state drive. If you've got an SSD, consider putting your Windows 8 partition on that drive. While any operating system benefits from the speed increase an SSD brings, ARS Technica specifically recommends this drive type for Windows 8, saying the operating system's "tablet-esque feel and search-heavy usage model will be much better served by solid-state storage." Other Requirements Hard drive space is a crucial system requirement, but others are just as important. Ensuring your computer meets the other requirements before partitioning your drive for Windows 8 saves trouble in case your computer can't handle the OS. You'll need at least a 1 GHz processor that support PAE, SSE2 and NX. Your computer has to have at least 1 GB of RAM for 32-bit Windows 8, or 2 GB for 64-bit. Your graphics card must be at least a DirectX 9-capable card with a WDDM driver. Also, while you're formatting your drive, format the Windows 8 partition in the NTFS format. Storage Spaces Storage Spaces is a useful Windows 8 feature when you're working with multiple drives and partitions. The tool enables you to group drives into one larger storage space so you don't have to constantly switch partitions and explore different drives. For example, if you create a storage space between two 32 GB flash drives, you'd be able to access it as if it were one larger 64 GB drive. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/system-requirements Microsoft windows 8 system requirements http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/features/windows/3358892/windows-8-system-requirements/ PC World windows 8 system requirements http://www.pcworld.com/article/2012847/how-to-master-storage-spaces-in-windows-8.html PC World how to master storage space windows 8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/download-shop

Unfortunately, Microsoft locks OEM copies of the Windows OS to a specific motherboard and CPU. Replacing the motherboard will cause this problem. If you had only added more memory, this wouldn't be an issue. If you put in the new motherboard because the old one failed, you might be able to get Microsoft to reauthorize the license or give you a new one. As far as I know, you will have to call MS support and see what happens. (If you had the Full install version of Windows, you could move it to another machine/motherboard without the issue when the other computer isn't available.) If MS doesn't authorize the code, you will probably need to buy a new license of your version of Windows. (Windows 7 Home Premium OEM is $99; the full version would be $189. Other versions of Windows will be more expensive.) One option is to find a member of a Windows User's Group or Technet subscriber who has licenses and install discs for various versions of the Windows OS. They may be willing to give you one of their extra licenses. This is very useful if your computer has an older version of Windows OS and you do not want to change OS versions. (Not all older computers can support a newer OS due to driver issues.) I wish that I had better news for you. Cindy Wells

If you received a CD/DVD with your computer that says "Operating System Disc" or something similar, you can put that in the drive and run the reinstall sequence.If you did not get a disc like that with your computer or you lost it, you can probably call the manufacturer. Otherwise you can get a new version of Windows from wherever you would like and install it. The installation process typically clears everything out.

Try the following solutions:

1. Connect the laptop to an external monitor,and if it works,there is a problem with your LCD.The problem could be that the back light isn't functioning or your LCD has broken.Go to the service center and get it replaced.
2. If in the above case,your external monitor too shows no response,that means that your graphics have been spoilt.You need to replace the motherboard in this case.
3. Try resetting the BIOS manually and then re-starting,if this works,you need not take he laptop to the service center

Exactly what is the problem? Why would you want to to a recovery back to factory settings and lose all your documents, music, pictures, videos and programs you've loaded since you purchased the computer? You could try using a system disc and try booting from it to fix your problem. Better yet you could try doing a system restore which preserves all your documents, music, pictures, videos and programs. If you can boot into safe mode try system restore. Again I would need to know what kind of error you're getting or why you want to do a recovery.

Yes there is a button to turn on and off wireless. Usually it is located near the Power button. It may be a touch button or press button. It contains the sign of a tower giving signals.

Welcome rto Fixya

Wireless switch are usually located on the side or at the front for the laptop. You may try to disable and enable the wireless card by using hotkeys. Look for the F keys (F1,F2 and so on) there on your keyboard that has a picture of a signal or a tower that has a signal. Pres function key (Fn key) then press the F key that corresponds to the wireless. In my case, may laptop has wireles signal at F2. When i want to activate/deactivate my wireless card, i press Fn + F2 key.

Please let me know the result.

Hello, Dave.

Go to your Control Panel, then Device Manager. Select (double-click) on Network Adapters, which should list your adapters. Look for your wireless adapter/card. Right-click on that item and select Update Driver Software. Follow the prompts.

Hope this helps.

if the repair console cannot find the c:\ drive then yes the hard drive is done. Before you trash it though I suggest using an Ubuntu Linux Live CD to see if you can rescue your files.

Hi

www.ebay.com go to catagories type in laptops and maybe even type in evesham laptop spares and see what it comes up with

good luck

Hold the power switch down until the computer shuts down all the way. It should not reboot again unless you have a bad power switch.

Try using Fn + F2 Combination
