Hello.

So i gathered some info regarding upgrading windows 7 to windows 8 on my 2 VAIOs VPCF22l1E. WIndows 8 and Windows 8.1 upgrade is supported, Windows 10 upgrade is not.

Before starting VAIO and Windows should be up to date. It should be checked that the VAIO recover partition is in place.

According Sony Europe uninstall:

VAIO care

VAIO update

Intel PROset/Wireless wifi

Arcsoft Magic

According Sony US uninstall:

Arcsoft Magic

VAIO care

VAIO controlcenter

VAIO smartnetwork

VAIO update

Also there is SOny general upgrade info that states that the following will be uninstalled automatic when upgrading from windows 7 to windows 8.

PMB VAIO edition

VAIO Media Plus

VAIO Messenger

VAIO touch Portal

VAIO Boot Manager

Quick web access no longer available after upgrade.

Once Windows 8 is installed i should run VAIO Update (for Software and Updates).

My questions are:

What should be uninstalled when upgrading from windows 7 to windows 8?

How do i get stuff like VAIO update, VAIO care and VAIO controlcenter back after the upgrade (since i need to uninstall those)?

greetings.
