I have a HP desktop computer and a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop windows7 and I just bought a laptop HP Stream 13.3 windows 8. I would like to remove window 8.1 and install window7 my wife like windows 7. Thanks to Ruth and Tom

Windows 10 is more familiar, you may have a smoother time upgrading this version rather than Windows 7, which is probably incompatible with your HP workflow.

You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

Return the laptop if it came preloaded with Windows 8 and purchase one already preloaded with Windows 7, they are always available:

    You don't give enough information.

    You can buy Windows 7 from Amazon.com, etc..

    Ensure that the manufacturer of your computer/laptop provides drivers for Windows 7 for your model or Windows 7 will not properly work on this subject.

  • How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Hello!

    I got help.

    How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Intel based computers, like yours, are usually set to "RAID", which is a superset of "AHCI". Basically, if the BIOS won't let you choose between "IDE mode", "AHCI" and "RAID", leaving in the RAID led to you everything done "AHCI". In this case there is no need to activate the AHCI, as RAID will support an SSD anyway.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    No, you can't. No matter how many records he has, the computer was delivered
    with a license for Windows 7, for a computer.

    I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
    you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
    one or both.
    This traditional desktop Interface is almost identical to Windows 7
    interface; the biggest difference is that there is no Orb start
    Click to bring up the start menu. But note that you can get the beginning
    Orb back using one of the many third-party programs, either for free or
    very inexpensive (Classic Shell to)
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
    the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.
    Just install one of these two and using the traditional desktop computer
    interface may be a better choice for you than going to Windows 7.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
    the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you would have a hard time realizing that it is not
    Windows 7.
    And another new program third party that I love and you can
    the ModernMix $ 4.99 at http://www.stardock.com/products/modernmix/
    I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.

    If there is anything physically wrong with your computer, you can use Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN aka) to make a scrub of the security of your HARD drive. Glance to download here.

    This will leave Nothing on the HARD drive. You can take the time to reinstall an operating system, but at the very least, the new operating system should be Win 98SE or higher.

  • I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true?

    I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?

    original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

    If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

    1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

    2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

    3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.
