Answer 1 :
yes, $laptops have chargers with transformers, so it should work. you just need the ending that would fit in.
Answer 2 :
NO, at least not from the European power grid. You'll need to buy a converter transformer & plug. This changes their 250VAC to 110VAC.
Answer 3 :
Yeit should work. Check the back of your transformer - that black box which is part of the laptop cable. It will probably show that input voltage can be 110-240V. All you need then is an adapter set. Go to a travel or luggage store - or find it online. You will need a different connector for the UK and a different one for the EU countries.
Answer 4 :
No, Europe uses 220Volts. Plugging a 110V appliance, pc, or any other equipment into a 220 volt outlet will destroy the equipment. There are power transformers available at Radioshack that will allow you to use your equipment overseas, most come with multiple adapters for many different countries. The plugs in Europe aren't the same shape as the ones in the US either so you can't just accidently plug something from the US into one of those outlets.
Answer 5 :
you will need to get a UK transformer pack. You can get one from your manufacturer's website or their resellers. The plugs are not the same so you can not just plug it in and if you did, you would instantly fry your system. UK is 220V/50Hz

Will I be able to install it on my computer or will the there be compatibility issues due to the operating system discs being from Europe and my computer being from the US?

Answer 1 :
The install disc contains all languages. In fact, the very first screen that appears asks what language you wish to use. You won't have any problem using a disc purchased in Europe with your American computer.

Laptop working in Europe?

Laptop working in Europe?
I am headed to London & Edinburgh and would like to bring my laptop. Not to play games...but to charge my ipod, move pics from camera to laptop and keep in touch with family home in US. I think I am right - US is 110 and Euro is 220. How do I know if my laptop will work in Europe? What do I need to purchase?

Answer 1 :
a 3 pin uk plug attached to a power adapter for your model 220 volt down to 19 volt
Answer 2 :
Hello there !!! The first thing you should look-at is your laptop's adapter, you'll find some numbers on the bottom look for something like "100-240 v" or "50/60Hz". Any of the above will mean that it work in Europe & USA. Then you'll need an adapter that changes the US plug to the three UK plug, which you'll find in any electronic shops over their. Good luck, and wish you a nice trip.
