Buy HP Pavilion for the first time.

I just ordered HP Pavilion p6350z.  My previous computers were Dells.

Didn't order any software or special guarantees or anything.  (I didn't when I bought my Dells either)

However, should I have?

I do most of the maintenance work on my computer.

I change OS from XP to Windows 7.

I find a lot of useful info in this forum, as the recovery etc. partition.

Linda, I know what you will say an employee of HP.  However, I do not work for HP.  I never buy any agreement.  It is because I can afford to take a chance.  If it is a burden to pay for repairs after the expiration of the warranty, a Service contract may be the way to go.  Most experts say that the only elements to cover with a based electronic agreement.

You will find that this forum will be a great asset for you.  In fact, many people prefer to come here for help before contacting the HP Customer Service.  If we cannot help you, we will direct you to the correct area.

Enjoy your new computer from HP.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-ab083T: laptop upgraded before even starting for the first time = problem?

    Hello!

    I recently bought this laptop with the intention to replace the hard drive (1 TB HDD 120 GB SSD), as well as upgrading the ram from 8 GB to 16 GB. The problem is that I have improved these things before you start for the first time. And now it complains that it cannot find a device boot, even when I insert a USB key with windows 10 iso on it. Or a cd with windows XP. He needs to have the HDD windows 8.1 original in it on first commissioning? It took a while to replace parts...

    Thanks in advance.

    That's very true, I used gparted before checking this again, and it was corrupted. Very well! I ended up installing windows 10 home using a free student license. It's perfect, since I have windows 8.1 before running on the 1 TB hard drive and it was filled with bloatware, thanks to HP (no offense). So, it is nice to have a clean install. Everything works fine now, I had to change some settings of 'Legacy Boot' in the bios to boot from the USB.

  • When you get a retailer to re - install Vista are you able to burn a copy of Vista as when he was the first new and turned on for the first time?

    Hello and Merry Christmas to all. Sorry its been a while that I had time to be on the forum, (family illness) Anywho my daughter had dropped her Lenovo and although we went through every conceiveable options to retrieve and detaches from the dreaded "black screen" we couldn't. We had the chance to recover his files before he died forever! That was the good part... I had to resume at Tiger Direct, where they installed a new concert 320 H/D and re-installed Vista. Because she graduated she had two of the residence and turned my basement into a hoarders paradise, lol point being that she has no idea where his original disk is so I contacted Lenovo who assured me that they would send me a copy of Vista (how naïve of me) they me sent recovery disc (two games not less and it took more than a month!) that I discovered after the fact that I could have burned my own through Neo-Smart...

    There is one thing that still bothers me and that's when we first pulled his new Lap Top for the first time and installed Vista I remembered that the very last paragraph said to make your own copy of the o/s before your done... what was not done! Is it still possible to make a copy of its operating system now? If Yes, how would go about this, if I wait for her to do it, it will not! She was lucky that I was able to use a slave to its hard disk of my XP Sata-IDE cable and get its files on the drive before it me locked. It has an external H/D as most of the people who do not know how to change their scores on the top of their Tower and get the full use out of them as desk top users do.

    As aways thanks for the fellow forumer for your time and trouble and any help is appreciated.

    Hey tiggerer

    NeoSmart is software startup repair not a recovery disk to reinstall vista

    and once you have replaced your hard disk you have lost the ability to do the recovery disk from the recovery partition that may have been defective hard disk

    and it depends on your version of vista as to whether you can now make a backup complete pc using microsoft software

    you need vista business or vista ultimate to backup full pc

    read information from microsoft about it at the link below microsoft

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-your-programs-system-settings-and-files

    If you have not these versions vista expect from lenovo recovery disks be delivered or buy a third party program to do a full backup pc

    one of these programs is the true picture in the link below

  • charge battery for the first time and the best practices for maintaining the life of the new PC laptop battery

    Received my first laptop as a gift today (Pavilion touchsmart 15-n287cl).  You need to know 1.  How long to charge it for the first time or first several times; 2 do you need to unload and reload between each use completely and how long should it take to charge an average before being used again.  3. Since no instructions is a good idea to leave it plugged when you use all the time or the battery should be removed to improve the conservation of life?

    Thank you in advance, it has taken a lot of time to migrate from the desktop.  Want it to be a positive experience.

    Hello

    Modern batteries and chargers are now smarter than you.

    1. you can plugin and immediately to use the machine, the machine will stop charge when the battery is fully charged.

    2. No, we don't need to unload completely between uses, then as above. The recommendation is sometimes we run machine on battery until that up to 10%.

    3. when using AC is a way to protect the unit during the failure of current, all of a sudden, leaving battery on laptop.

  • ICloud using photo library for the first time

    I am considering switching to iCloud photo library for the first time - mainly so I'll be able to use the new functionality of memories in iOS 10. However, I have quite a large library of Photos on my Mac and I'm worried about the mistakes of synchronization, bugs and any damage my irreplaceable photos. I have a Time Machine backup, but each backup on which generally only lasts a week or so, and with a large library of errors can take some time to appear. Should I be worried? Are there precautions I need to take?

    In view of all the people who use it, there are very few messages on issues. Since you have a backup, you can still recover. You can consider to get a 2nd external and make a copy of your photo library in order to have 2 backups. Depending on the size of your library, you may need to purchase additional iCloud storage as free storage space is 5 GB. With a large number of photos, it will take much time to complete the synchronization. Some people have posted their s took 2 to 4 weeks. Our respective synchronization went well and we had no problem.

Some say it is wise to drain the battery until the phone turns off and that completely... some people say that is nonsense so that you must charge your phone charge straigh away from the box and don't let not phone to turn off... some are mentioning the procedure 3 hours but I know it's nonsense...

  • Windows7 64 bit. Why the desktop icons all be empty when you run Firefox nightly for the first time?

    Every time after I get a Firefox Nightly update and run it, it will display the next page:
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/firstrun/?oldversion=30.0 which is fine.
    But when it opens this page, all my desktop icons go clear/white and one by one, they all return with their correct icons. And all this happens in a few seconds.
    Why is the operation of Firefox every night for the first time, my desktop icons?

    I suspect that you have both nightly and Firefox version installed?

    "The Firefox 'about' shows 30.0. and I've now checked for updates and are now running 33.1.1"
    

    It's different from what you have first published here with!
    Firefox 33.1.1 represents the latest version - a 32-bit version.

    Whereas, the version you first posted here with was a generation of 64-bit channel every night from July. Every night is for "Alpha-testers" and is updated every day, where the name of "night".

    Everything that happens in the background on the Windows desktop should not be of concern right now, every night Win 64 bit is several months out.
    If you really want to test the Win 64 Nightly builds, follow and participate in the very different evenings and son of 'channels' on MozillaZine forum is based.

  • Photo PhotoSmart 7520 tray is blocked when I try to print photo 4 x 6 for the first time.

    I just bought this 7520 and installed the software; then when I tried to print a picture for the first time, I kept getting the error message that the photo tray is locked (will not travel to bottom to pick up the blank photo paper) even if no clogging. The call centre could not solve the problem, and they ship me a replacement printer; but I suspect that this may be a common problem.

    I searched the post, and someone else had the same problem.  The solution is that the tab on the slide of paper size was outside the slide area.  I fixed it, and the printer now prints pictures.
