You need to install updated drivers before the rest of the hardware works properly. Download the drivers from the Toshiba website.

Laptop CPU can not be easily updated. The model laptop is severly limited by the BIOS in each model. It is not recommended that you try to upgrade the CPU.

You can easily copy the OS and your files from the 14GB hard drive to any brand laptop 30GB hard drive that you buy. I use an external USB laptop drive enclosure to hold the old drive I want to copy then I use Norton Ghost to copy it to the new drive.

You may have an old version of BIOS or it may be disabled in the BIOS

You should be at version: 1.90
