Clean install Windows 7 with UEFI in dv6-7215nr

Hi, I would like to do a clean install of my HP dv6-7215nr Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x 64 envy laptop.

To this end, I have 3 questions to solve some installation issues.

1. What are the steps to clean install Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise intact in UEFI mode?

I tried to install Win 7 after the pre-requisites following:

(a) not partitioned 200 GB free space on the disk (only 1 physical disk)

(b) already installed Windows 8 files with UEFI

(c) UEFI enabled

(d) heritage disabled startup

(e) secure boot disabled

When I Boot in UEFI of CD/DVD, I can't switch to the Windows startup screen, it just hangs. What I am doing wrong? Is there any other prerequisites that I don't know?

I tried to install UEFI with Legacy enabled Boot, and I installed win7 but I can't disable Legacy new Boot because Win7 boot and I want only the UEFI Boot and need for inheritance disabled.

2. where can I download drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop?

I found this topic:

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/HP-envy-DV6-7210ei-downgrade-fr...

They point to these drivers

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us & dlc = in & lc = in & product = 5273735 & task = &

I think I could use these drivers, but I need just in case where. I guess they should work as the product names are roughly similar (with mine).

3. is it possible to Secure Boot with Windows 7 SP1?

I have no research on this so far.

Thanks for the help that someone in the community can give to me, it is not important all the problems that I have set in I can still do research on questions 2 and 3 and help others with my research if I can do it before a response. Any info you can give me will be too great.

(1) ' secure Boot' must be DISABLED and 'Legacy Support' must be ENABLED to install Windows 7 and many other older operating systems. The bootable media must support UEFI boot to install on a GPT-partitioned drive.

You let people with DISABILITIES 'Secure Boot' (and 'Legacy Support' ENABLED) once you have installed Windows 7. Changing these options causes Windows 7 to start is no longer.

(2) the Windows 7 drivers on the CTO Entertainment Notebook PC drivers HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 page you referenced, will work on your computer.

(3) it is not possible to install or use Windows 7 with "Secure Boot" ACTIVE.

WARNING *.

HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' on the page parameters below, until you try to install Windows 7.

In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post to the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (just the text string will do) to these devices as shown in the example below.

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

  • Re-install (clean install) Windows Vista Home Premium with no installation disc

    I have a laptop that is running Windows Vista. I would like to wipe the drive and reinstall Vista. The computer came preloaded with Vista and did not include the operating system installation diskettes. How would I be able to get the Vista installation diskettes? My computer is an Acer Aspire 5100. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (SP2).

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a fee if they are still available.

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    With an Acer, it's "left Alt + F10 at startup".

    "How do I restore my computer using the eRecovery Management program outside of Windows?

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    See programs > Acer > then their eRecovery software stars for them.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  • HP Envy 17: Clean install Windows 10 without upgrade.

    Hello

    First of all, I am very happy with my new HP laptop first, it's amazing!

    Now my problem. The laptop came with 8.1 Windows preinstalled with a free upgrade to Windows 10, however, I want to do a clean install Windows 10 without going through the process of upgrading (or would defy a 'clean' install), without additional software (I have already downloaded all the drivers and software from HP Web site) and I wanted to make the installation of the driver/software myself.

    Now, I had the key OEM with software, however...

    I read several threads related to this problem, the recommended steps were required to use the creator of media, but that won't install it Windows 8.1? I know that I coud after upgrade, but I wanted to avoid this step

    In any case to create support for Windows 10? If I clean install 10 Windows with a retail key, I'll lose the built in recovery?

    Thank you very much for your kind attention,

    Best regards

    Francisco

    To answer your questions:

    (1) MS media creation tool: Activation in Windows 10 - Windows help offers several options: to upgrade this PC now, create installation media (download the ISO file), create an installation (DVD or USB) media.  Choose the option that suits you - understand that upgrading PC, this option does NOT create an ISO file or installation media.

    (2) lose the built-in recovery.  IF you ask on the resumption of Win8x HP - then Yes.  That no longer works after upgrade Win10.

    (3) retail vs upgrade and recovery: Version does not matter, you will lose HP Win8x recovery without worrying.

    (4) retail key - you get ONLY a touch of detail if you buy a copy at Win10 retail.  The version proposed for the free update does not product keys for activation.  You MUST install a version upgrade on top of an existing installation of Win7/8/8.1 so that it will activate.  If you install directly from media Win10 Upgrade, starting from the media and did an install clean, not only will win 10 then NOT activate, right now, it will NEVER activate.  MS talking about providing an option IN THE FUTURE, to allow people to enter a Win7/8/8.1 existing product key - but this feature is not present today.

  • How to clean install Windows 7 on Windows 10

    My old laptop packed recently so I had to buy a new one and it came with Windows preinstalled 10.  I'm not a fan of this os, so I want to get rid of 10 windows and install Windows 7.  With work, I found a new drive to install windows 7 to a computer store and now I want to change but I don't want to mess up so I thought I could post it here and see if there's something I should do first, or be aware of.  I have already moved all the files I want to keep it out of the computer to an external hard drive.  The unit is an Asus x552wa.

    I've never done anything like this before so the tips (or step-by-step procedure) would be greatly appreciated!

    Follow these same steps to do a clean reinstall Windows 7 which was used by 2 million consumers without a single complaint.

    Remember to follow the steps on the drivers that are important, they are printed in red.  Windows is quickly updated via Windows Update and driver-complete in Setup.  One or two still missing after installation are easy on the PC or a specific Web downloads of the device Support page.  No modern device would not have pilots who work for Windows 7, which is the operating system that is more prevalent in the world today.

    At any time you can reuse your Windows 10 license and get a facility much better that the bloated factory install make a clean install Windows 10   No one had any complaints from thousands of people who have so far one.

    If you want to give another chance to the installation, you have now, try optimizations available in the Wiki - in particular establishing a clean boot to turn off the bloatware factory starting with Windows that strangles the BONES and is never necessary to all.  Also uninstall all antivirus inflated by default for integrated defender who offers better performance.  If you try these and other steps you decide you like Windows 10 better just like I did even if I was (literally) it is more supporter who helped tens of thousands of consumers seven Forums before install Windows 10 and find faster and more modern even while retaining what I liked the most in Windows 7.

    Do not hesitate to ask questions in return and let us know how it goes.

  • I want to install the version of the windows license, so can I have a windows license, I have install windows 7 with this key?

    I have the windows product key 7 with my computer dell laptop. in recent years my brother using the pirated version. now, I want to install the version of the windows license, so can I have a windows license, I have install windows 7 with this key?

    Original title: windows 7

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • How to clean install windows 7 on T400, am I right?

    My T400 pre-installed with Windows Vista Business, so I would get a clean installation of Windows 7 on my laptop.

    My method: clean install Windows 7 on the laptop with a single partition (infact there are two of them, including the 100 MB partition, created by the system Windows 7 itself.). After installation, I will set up my internet and just download the ThinkVantage System update, then install it. Then I'm going to update and install all the drivers and by the ThinkVantage System Update ThinkVantage tools. So I think that the work has got an end. Am I wrong?

    Another question: If there is a single partition, when I want to use Rescue and Recovery for my system backup or files then keep the backups to the partition, how Rescue and Recovery restores my system clean install without destroying the backups? In my opinion, if when the restore process is complete, the clean install GETS back but the backups always not to locate their position?

    Thank you and enjoy for all the answers!

    first of all, I hope you did just product recovery disc in case you want to load the original image, once you do a clean installation, the option has disappeared. 2 update does not offer CSS or RnR so you will have to do it manually. 3. Once you have everything installed, you will need to make a backup of that this backup will be used to retrieve at your own facility. If you do not create this backup, there is no way to recover your newly installed win.7

  • recovery of lost bitlocker keys and unable to clean install windows 7

    Hi friends,

    Two days back, I used bitlocker in my windows 7. At this point, I forgot to save the Bitlocker recovery key in an external drive and saved in the internal hard drive. The next day, when I started the laptop does not start and the key demand of bitlocker recovery which I don't own. For this reason, I am unable to boot my system. Then I tried clean install the OS with my recovery of windows 7 dvd. But at that time also he asks me to disable the Bitlocker for which I'm not having the recovery key. So I'm not able to clean install the OS also. So how could I solve this problem and make my laptop works properly.

    If someone knows how to fix this please tell me.

    I don't use BitLocker, so I can't confirm your request. If it is correct that I would use a third party tool to repartition the disk. Here are some candidates:

    • Acronis Disk Director (cost money)
    • Boot of Ubuntu CD (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/) (free)
    • Connect the drive as a slave drive to some other PC.
