Clean install of Windows 8 and Windows 7
How do a clean install of windows 8 on a 7 hp windows computer. and how can you do a system recovery
without having to install all other unwanted. Just the Windows 8 or Windows 7 works.
It seems like HP won't install us just the OS.
answer please.
I'm glad you found it useful.
Pre-ignition works for Windows 8, but it is slightly different. In Vista and 7, all of the computers Dell with Windows 7 Edition home premium for example turned on and had the same product key. They also come with Windows 7 modes of action that had a unique product key (the key of SLP). I also think that a Dell DVD could not be used on a HP and vice versa. Modes of action were of poor quality and prone to fading. In Windows 8, there is a unique product key into the system BIOS that supports the DVD (or MSDN/Technet .iso) starts from the BIOS. I suppose a Dell DVD could be used on a HP and vice versa, but I don't have a system with Windows 8 to run some tests on.
P.S. Can you please not directly to the pdf file because I'm updating regularly the complete pdf - it will probably be an old revision when I update in a few days:

Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista
I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.
I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.
I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.
I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.
In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.
Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

Hello friendly folk,
I got a used HP Pavilion G6 - 1C40CA.
There was a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
After searching around online, got a hint of what to do.
For Device Manager are missing or not that there is not (small yellow exclamation triangle):
Ethernet controller (Hardware ID: PCI/VEN_10EC & DEV_8136)
Network controller (Hareware ID: PCI/VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727)
PCI device (Hareware ID: PCI/VEN_10EC & DEV_5209)
SM Bus controller (Hardware ID: PCI/VEN_1022 & DEV_780B)
As well as to find good downloads, I know not to order that I should be their installation (if there is a specific order at all), and if I have to restart every time that I have install something again.
If someone could be kind enough to drive me very precisely by the process? Pretty please? ^_^

Original title: problem with Windows 7 Media center
Is there anyway that I can replace the whole C:\Windows\ehome? There is a permissions issue, and I can't find a way to change the permissions...
The only reason I want to do is I did a clean install of windows 7 and the plugin TV Pluzz.fr and the internet do not work on this computer and it seems to be no work around. But I have a PC where WMC works fine and I can replace the entire record of WMC and it should work like the other PC (I think).
I could do if I ran linux or something, but I'm looking for something simple or a fix to this problem with WMC.

HP laptop 15 15-f305dx: where is the certificate of authenticity and clean install of Windows 10
I bought a new laptop from HP model: 15-f305dx pre installed with Windows 10 (64-bit), but I can't find the certificate of authenticity. I want to do a clean install of Windows 10 via usb/dvd in the future, but since I don't have a product key that I don't know if Windows ask me the product key or the bios will activate windows when it is preinstalled. I have to go the activation process as those who free upgrade to 10 windows and had it active via wifi or internet?
This link is where I bought my cell phone for more information and support
Thank you
Your product key is in the UEFI bios not as a sticker on the previous Windows 7 and older models. If you perform a clean installation of Windows 10 o/s must match to your using the factory installed o/s you need to use the new Windows 10 product key to install with.

Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.
Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.
Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.
As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)
Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.
I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.
In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.
After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)
After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.
Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.
Details:
System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4
- Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
- Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported. Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
- At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
- Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.
A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.
In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

Summary:
Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?
Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?
Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?
Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?
Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?
Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?
Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?
Details:
Day 5. Attempt at 6.
Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.
4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.
Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.
In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.
Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.
Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...
He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.
I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.
Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.
I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.
Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.
I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.
For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.

What exactly do you want: clean windows installation or by using the disk Toshiba recover?
I mean own installation only the Windows operating system using the Microsoft Win 7 disc.
This installation requires a valid serial key.But using the Toshiba recovery disc requires no any key since the BONES of the window is already enabled on this drive.

Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after a clean install of Windows 7
Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I loaded the value Toshiba driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or press FN to work.
Any ideas?
Hi taxwiz,.
I think that the forum already contains hundreds of discussions about this so why you n t use the forum search?
Anyway, you need the latest version of Toshiba Value added Package and utility Support Flash Cards.
Try to also restart Toshiba Flash Cards (start > all programs > Toshiba) and repeatedly press the FN keys. -

Laptop HP 15-R204NE: clean install of Windows 10
Hello
I'm ready to do a clean install of Windows 10 but the only thing that worried me are the drivers provided factory installed with my laptop, it was initially delivered with Windows 64 - bit of 8.1. I don't want to lose one that I have no idea how or where I'm going to do if I lose everything. If someone has a way to understand this help is very much appreciated.
Kind regards.
Hello Zarakkhan ;
I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation. After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine. IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.
That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1. But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.
As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup. After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key. This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.
Good luck
I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.
