So, even though I changed language to English, I still get Japanese Window Updates.

Anyway to change...

Ah, OK, I get it now....

Thanks for clarifying. Appreciate it!

Still gotta decide if I want to go through reinstalling everything though....

But good to know in case I decide to do it.

As noted, it came from Japan, so, has Japanese Win 10. Now added English language pack.

Not same as having English Win 10....but per my latest posts, it is almost same now...

So, not sure if...

In case anyone needs this, here's link to page that had instructions as to better map Japanese keyboard to English usage.

Now, when I type symbols, they match what is shown on the keys!

THANK YOU for your input and help, dalchina!

That link is what I needed.

Had a feeling there's no way to install new OS version without having to reinstall programs. But thought I would ask...

Hi,

Received a nice super light and quick Panasonic Japanese market laptop (CF-SV7) with Win 10 Pro on it the other day.

I am in USA, speak and write English, not Japanese.

Language settings...

Thanks as always, Andre, for your input!

Meanwhile, I came to office this morning, connected my little GPD WIN to ethernet cable and Voila! it connected to internet!

:D


Perhaps the fact...

Andre, ArezalE, Nigel,

THANK YOU ALL for all your helpful input and comments.

Understand your points....

Again, to be clear, I had been connecting my own laptops to the network up until...

Thank you for your latest input. Very much appreciate it!

Yes, connected to a very large network and it is very secure for variety of reasons. By large I mean many different locations across...

Thanks again for your help!

Left work for the day. But took my little GPD WIN home with me to try on my home network.

It connects OK to ethernet network here with no problem. Did not need to do...

I assume it is a local network of some kind. I have two separate LAN ports in my office. Use one for my work laptop and other for my own laptop occasionally. Was working OK before. All of a sudden it...

Thank you for your help and input!

Checked things as you suggested.

Hi,

Don't know what changed, but now when I try to connect to internet on my tiny GPD WIN laptop running Win 10, I get the yellow triangle on the network icon in taskbar and message...

Understand your points...

As I just did the Recovery yesterday, I don't have any data or apps installed other than those installed by the Recovery...

Thanks again for your help....

OK, understand what you're saying.....thank you for clarifying this....

So, given the constraints you've outlined, it seems my question is not that applicable like it would have been in the past...

Thanks for your input and info, Cbarnhorst......

Again, as noted in prior posts:



I've been trying to determine whether there is any real benefit on a 6 year old laptop of doing 'Upgrade OS...

Thanks for your help and the tip.....

Just checked Fujitsu support page....Win 7 drivers are available to download....

Will try to clarify things again....

Sorry, thought you were asking me about the Fujitsu Recovery Disk that I used to get Windows Vista onto the new SSD that I just installed in my U820. I used...

Sorry don't understand.....

I bought the Win 10 install disk today as noted in my posts #1 and #4....while I haven't opened the package yet....(I left it in my office...), I assume like all other...

No, it's one of those Recovery Disks that you use to recreate the factory like OS install and setup....

Understand that I can do upgrade from Vista to 7.....have done that before on other...
