• HP ENVY 17 t-j000 Quad Edition: back to Windows 8 for a clean install of Windows 7

  Hello

  My machine came with windows 8. I created the recovery using HP Recovery Manager and then CLEAN Media installed windows 7. Now, I want to take the ferry for windows 8. USB recovery I created got no .exe file. And on Windows 7 there is no HP Recovery Manager.  What should I do?

  Thank you!

  Hey @Omar92,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!
  
  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in on your HP ENVY 17 t-j000 Notebook and your issues with HP Recovery Manager. If she has deleted this partition completely, you will need to use your recovery CD or USB key you created when you bought your laptop. Here is a link to use the HP Recovery Manager.

  Here is a link that shows you other ways to restore the laptop back to 8.1 for Windows. The selection shows how to use a USB device.

  Hope this helps you.

  Thank you.

• Jet 7 - back to 8.1 for Windows

  I have improved my Stream 7 to 10 Windows Tablet.  For a number of reasons, I want to go back to Windows 8. 1. Unfortunately, I ran a system cleanup to free disk space and cannot roll back to 8.1.

  I have a USB cable and OTG of recovery.  I talked a lot here to use a motor hub USB, keyboard and mouse for the restoration.  If I reload my tablet, I'll be able to run the HP recovery without all of this?  The touch screen responds?  I did not have a powered USB hub and am not really interested in buying one just for this purpose.

  Sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have been reading the forums of discussion, but did not see my issue addressed.  Thank you.

  Edit: A USB powered hub, is possible to transfer the contents of the recovery card USB MicroSD for the tablet can recover from a MicroSD card?

  Hi, Yes, fortunately Windows 8.1 for the Stream 7 recovery media charge touch screen drivers as well as a card OTG and USB recovery are required to restore the factory settings.  Fix the OTG and USB and turn on holding down the low volume button and press F9 to start options and to boot from USB.  A GUI menu appears and the touch screen works.

  About the micro SD location, the tablet will not start him so there would be a problem trying to use it.

• Back to Windows 7 Home premium to Windows 8? Product key for OEM (Toshiba) is available

  My new PC has Windows 7 Home premium pre-installed, and I've upgraded to Windows 8. I want to go back to Windows 7 - I have the product key on a sticker on my PC but not the drive - how can I do? Thanks in advance!

  Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, restart and until that screen "Advanced Boot Options" appears, press "F8".

  You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

  After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

• Satellite L750 - Windows 10 - can I roll back to Windows 7?

  I upgraded to 10 Windows in Windows 7, but I lost the wireless driver and cannot download it from anywhere (unless you know better). Also, I lost Internet Explorer. When I tried to download the system I have an updated copy even though God knows where he is.

  My question is - can I roll back to Windows 7, which I was pretty happy?

  As much as I know L750 is not supported for Win10 so I think that the best option for you is to go back to Win7.
  After several problems with Win10, I did the same thing and I am happy now using original Win7.

• Pavilion dv6-4024tx: display random crashing after upgrade to Windows 10 (back to Windows 7)

  Hey all,.

  I used to own a computer laptop dv6-4024tx Pavilion which I gave to my father to use after you have bought a new laptop for my part. It was in pretty good condition when I gave it to him, with the only problem being that she would get very hot unless a cooling pad was used (which I it comes with). At the time, it was running Windows 7 Home Premium with no problems and everything was fine. However, it might be interesting to note that while I had it I had problems with random blue screens while I was with the latest graphics drivers, so I drove back to the drivers supplied on the support page for this laptop. After I "upgraded" to Windows 10 (do not perform a clean install) for my dad, the laptop would randomly crash and display something like the photo that I have attached, before going empty and show again several times. Believing that it would be a problem with the GPU, I went and Display Driver Uninstaller to remove completely all AMD drivers and software, downloaded the latest driver on the AMD website and installed. It seemed to temporarily solve the problem, but as it's always within 30 days of installation, I offered to go back to Windows 7, but my father wanted to leave it and see how it happened. Oddly enough, for the next month, it never reported the laptop crashing again and the time period for return finally expired. The problem of course back then I tried the same solution from before but the noise continued. I tried to disable the GPU completely from the Device Manager, so that the laptop was running with Microsoft Basic display adapter. He seems to have stopped the fracas, but less than a week my father told me that he had crashed again.  I tried to restore the laptop to a system image I had done years ago, but I learned that you cannot restore an image to a different version of Windows System. Finally, as a last resort I backed everything up and made a real clean install of Windows 10, and the problem has not yet disappear.

  My goal now is to return the Windows 7 laptop somehow. I can mount a virtual image of the system hard drive and access all the recovery files provided by HP, specifically the Recovery Manager. From there, I can do a recovery USB or DVD (s) we hope to restore the laptop to all conditions of factory (so theoretically return to Windows 7). I will try this, but I need a flash player more than 20 GB or several blank DVDs I don't currently. In addition, Recovery Manager says that this medium can never be created once, so it save me time and money (not to mention my last lifeline) if someone could please share their views on the question of whether this method would be successful or not. I know in case it doesn't work, there is always the question of registration of the OS by Microsoft, but I can cross that bridge when I get to it.

  Sorry for the essay I just wrote, but this has been a problem for too long, and I am at a loss to know what to do now (apart from the purchase of another computer). If there are any questions I'll be happy to answer, and I hope we can get this issue is resolved. See you soon.

  

  If you follow this step 3.

  You will need to select "format and repartition disks" as windows 10 will have changed partitions.

  Hello giant,

  It is not possible to use 16-bit on a 64-bit computer applications/games.

• I am running vista and you want to go back to Windows XP. How to switch back?

  I bought a new hard drive. I installed vista. Which turns out to be is not very compatible with the rest of my equipment. I would like to go back to windows XP and get rid of vista completely. How do I do that?

  If you do not have your XP disc:

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send an XP Recovery disk.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  You are doing a new installation of XP, wiping the Vista operating system Partition from the hard disk containing Vista in the process.

  Follow the steps below in the link, to do a clean install; read the part where you remove the existing Vista Partition, create a new Partition, format, etc...

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• I want to go back to windows 7

  My laptop came with Windows 7 above. I put Windows 8 on it and don't like it.

  I don't have a recovery disk... don't think I'd need it :-(

  I want to go back to Windows 7!

  Do I need to buy this product or is it possibly hiding on my computer somewhere?

  Help, please... PS I tried the thing of recovery where you press F11 at startup upward and it did nothing.

  You can buy a recovery disk (HP dvd). This would be a specific model. Contact HP or

  Go to HP.com support and drivers for your system model. You should have a link to a page to buy a DVD of restoration. This would bring your laptop to factory fresh (out of box condition). The recovery partition has been "broken" by your upgrade.

  Last time I bought a DVD of recovery, it was less $20 dollars (US).

  Kind regards

• I can't find my menu to change sounds like stop, critical judgment, and so on, how do I get it back? Windows Vista.

  critical stop as stop, and so on, how do I get it back? Windows Vista.

  Hello

  1. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

  Method 1: try to scanner SFC [SFC system] on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 2:

  Also try to scan your computer for the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
