How to upgrade my toshiba satellite to windows 7 from vista?

Q. I have a toshiba satellite 205-4557 (year 2007) that I'm going to upgrade to windows 7. I believe I need the 64 bit windows 7? Anyway, I was wondering, do I install windows 7 first and then go on toshiba's website and install drivers I may need, Or the other way around? If so, which drivers will i need. Please help because I'm not very computer savvy.

A. you would need win 7 32 bit the processor that came with that machine from the specs i have saw is only 32 bit. 64 bit won't work. Win 7 should have most of the drivers you need but it wouldn't hurt to go to the toshiba support site and down load all the available drivers they have for it to a thumb drive or external drive before you install the new OS just in case there is an issue

How Many Hours Can A Battery Last For An Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 Laptop?

Q. I have a Toshiba satellite pro A60 laptop and the battery is basically done and I want to buy a new one but I can't find any information about how long the A60's battery lasts after full charge. Can someone please tell me how long they do last for?

When I bought the laptop (second hand) the battery only lasts about 10 minutes because the previous owners must have ruined it.

Thanks.

How can I fix a toshiba satellite touch pad?

Q. I have a Toshiba Satellite P205-S6287 laptop and some times the
bottom and right-hand sides of the touch pad stop working which means I can't scroll up & down the page.
I don't know much about computers but I think that happened because I plugged a new mouse in?

A. I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite Pro P100-465 it has a synaptics touch pad and your laptop has either this same touch pad or one from alps electric

it is most likely that it is the same as my laptop as i have this issue, i find it is most common after exiting full screen playing from youtube etc... but otherwise it works

if yours is a different situation try updating the driver from toshibas website, email me if you need help doing this

I open it today and notice its out of battery, so I hook it up to the charger and it turns on as usual, the fan is running, but the toshiba logo does not come up, nothing comes up. Dont really know what to do from here, am trying to avoid having to bring it and pay for it to get fixed elsewhere. Someone please help, thanks.

Boot in "safe mode". As it starts up press F8, the computer ask you if you'd like to start in safe mode. Highlight "safe mode" and press enter. See if your toshiba satellite a505-s6025 works normal.
