Select Windows 7 instead of Windows 8

I'm not sure whether it'll work though.  tongue.gif

I've tried redlding & reinstalling it, but to no avail. sad.gif I thought of doing a clean Windows 8 install this weekend. Seems like a straight upgrade from Win 7 wasn't a good idea after all. Hopefully by then it's fixed. Just wondering, did you perform a clean install or an upgrade?

excited with new windows i upgrading both my old laptop , bought on 2008 n 2009
which use old vista n windows 7 home premium
unfortunately
both of them kaput
after clean install the one from 2008 so freaking slow, thought the hard drive is gone, but smehow it accessible just right.
the other one, when it on, the screen look blank, i heard the startup , thought it lcd problem
send it to repair not the distributor
thinking both have hardisk n lcd problem
turn out
after numerous try,
he said there's nothing wrong with hdd or lcd
, after that he gave up. weirdly enough
he calling the agent for sony
im there when he call it
the agent answer it straight.
both need to change cmos battery.
i think it hella pricey, since i had google it.

now. why the agent can answer it straight?
both vaio serve me well . but to have it kapun in same time after using new windows.
i start to think it windows problem that made my vaio kaput?
aware of this problem of mine. im giving a warning to all vaio user to hold the upgrading for current windows 8. or maybe it just my coincidence that both of my vaio going kaput after installing windows 8.

That's a pretty weird case. blink.gif Feel sorry for your VAIOs. Pretty hard to say that Windows 8 is the cause though. As for mine, it's only 6 months old. I've been using Windows 8 for about 2 months now. So far I've only encountered problems with the Fn keys & safely remove hardware icon on the tray. I've managed to solve the Fn keys issue by uninstalling the VAIO Control Center & reinstall it. Need to restart the PC twice, once after uninstallation, once more after reinstalling. So far those two are my only gripes bout migrating to Windows 8. Other than that it's a really nice experience.

hi bro,

no issues so far though sometimes having problems with USB (isolated cases)...i seldom use the USB so yeah...i can live with it  biggrin.gif

Oh that's good for you. My issue with USB 3.0 is a universal problem with Windows 8 entirely, just checked on an intel thread. The problem is mentioned here in another thread btw. Glad you love it. Best part bout Windows 8 is the startup & shutdown times. It's so much faster than Windows 7. biggrin.gif

Yerr lucky you. sad.gif For some unknown reasons some Windows 7 controllers auto reinstall itself even after I removed them after so many times. cry.gif Anyways I wonder what are your USB controllers.

Hi,

Just want to know whether anyone here know how to add a SSD into vaio S series (SVS13116) ? Any specific dimension or brand or spec that I need to take note?
*
I replaced mine with Kingston SSD Now V300 240GB sometime last year. Fits well. You can find something of a similar dimension with this model if you prefer another SSD. For the replacement guide, kindly refer to this video tutorial:

Hope this helps!
