I am looking to upgrade it because I dont feel it is obsolete as of yet. I thought it was the power, so I started charging it. I have been the happy owner of a Sony VAIO VPCEH1L8E for many years now however while the laptop is fine for microsoft office tasks and browsing most websites it is struggling with Adobe CC and Autodesk programs. I had to spend a long time with Sony on the phone getting this issue sorted.īut there have been 100s of other problems with the machine since. It was working fine the day before yesterday, but the next day I tried using it, it wouldnt turn on. anyone able to point me in the right direction. Ive seached Sony website and unable to locate it. BIOS is currently Phoenix Technologies LTD. I now have a new laptop and decided to try upgrading the Sony again so our son can have.
I have purchased 6 Sony laptoops for the business in the last 3 years and I have done so because I expected them to take greater care in products and customer service. Im looking for an updated BIOS to allow me to change my HD controller so I can install BackTrack. It was upgraded to Windows 10 when the free upgrade became available, but the Nvidia drivers werent available so I put W7 back on. IT WAS AWFUL and most unexpected of Sony. => 3) Back up recovery media cannot be made => 2) Sony installed Vaio software does not function properly Inturn this stopped backup media from being created. This was because Vaio software installed was not updated - and could not be since Sony did notrecongise the machine. Worst was that I could not make recovery media. If you have not already done so, go to our Windows 10 Upgrade page to check your model number. Make sure your Sony VAIO PC is supported for Windows 10. Step 1 - Prepare your PC before Installing Windows 10. Step 4 - Install drivers, applications and utilities on your PC after installing Windows 10. Hope this helps I had to troobleshoot this one myself for lack of information. This meant that a lot of instructions on setting up the machine could not be followed. Step 3 - Install the Windows 10 Operating System. The computer does not recognize the USB connection from Sony message fix. Not only would it not recognise the machine, but Sony told me that it was normal! Aapparently cause it was a new model. I had the same problem in mid August 2013 after I purchased a new Sony Duo 13 with 512G SSD drive, and 8g RAM, and Windows 8 Pro.
