Compaq SR5710F: installation of Win XP pro on Compaq SR5710F

I have a disabled friend who asked me to help her with a computer, it got from goodwill.  It came with Windows Vista (ugh!) and with a nasty virus called Artemis.   It is used to using Windows XP in the computer room community here, so he wants to put XP on this computer.  I tried to find drivers for the computer and have found that HP (Compaq) does not support XP, even though it is listed as part of the minimum requirements.

Anyone know where I can find drivers for XP for Compaq SR5710F?  I also understand that I have to change the BIOS SATA to IDE?  Who will work with him always connected to a SATA drive provided in there?  I read a post in the forum that someone named Paul Tikkanen seemed to be very useful.  Mr. Tikkanen, if so, please help me as well. : )

Hi, Randall:

This PC must be able to run XP fine.

You should not need to change the BIOS settings to install it.

After you get XP to install, here are the drivers you need...

First install the chipset driver and reboot.

Then, install the graphics driver and restart.

See if the modem Vista driver works...

That should do it.

    Windows Update problem (new)

    The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

    I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

    NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

    1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
    2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
    3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.
    4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
    5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
    6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
    7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

  • Installation of Win 7 pro on win 7 ultimate

    OK, the first facts:

    My friend has a computer that came with Vista installed.

    Some time before, she had a problem with the computer and brought it to a repairman.

    When she got the computer back everything was in order, but the repairman installed a copy of Win 7 Ultimate instead of Vista.

    Everything went well for a while, but yesterday after an update, Windows 7 has been declared as not authentic.

    She immediately called the guy who told him that it is not surprising that it had installed a pirated copy.

    She now wants to buy a legitimate release of Win 7.

    Now for the questions:

    She does not have the ultimate version of Win 7, Win 7 Pro would be better suited for her. Is it possible to downgrade Win 7 Ultimate to Windows 7 Pro without losing all data on the hard drive?

    In addition, she still the Vista COA at hand. Then it would be possible to just switch to Win 7 Pro without having to reinstall Vista first?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to downgrade directly from Windows 7 Ultimate Windows 7 Professional, without modifying the files. You can not downgrade any Windows like the upgrade. THUS, back up all personal files and other files, and then perform a new installation (will erase the partition and install Windows 7 professional fees). You can then restore the files. Note that installed applications/programs should not be backed up because they can be installed after the installation of Windows.
    This process requires no installation of Windows Vista. But if you plan to upgrade, rather than clean install of Windows 7 Professional, you must install Windows Vista (new installation) first and then proceed to the upgrade.
    Note this upgrade can be made between architectures, i.e., x 86 (32 bit) x 64 (64-bit) or vice versa, even if it's Windows Vista to Windows 7.
  • Installation of Win 7 Pro 64-bit on Mac Pro (Intel) with Boot Camp

    Trying to install OEM Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a Mac Pro (Intel based computer) using Boot Camp (with Apple OS X 10.6). The installation went well until the system reboots to the CD with the OEM Windows 7 drive in the Bay. At that time there a MS-DOS appears on the screen that looks like this:

    1.

    2.
    Select the Startup Type of the CD-ROM:

    There is a blinking cursor (line underscore) after the semicolon, but everything I type on the keyboard appears on the screen when the cursor blinks. I use a USB keyboard connected to the computer for the installation, so I know it works. This blocked me.

    Is it possible that the OEM version is causing this problem? Can I use a regular full version of Windows 7? Do not spend money to buy, then discover it displays the same screen.

    I'll check with both Apple Support, but it seems strange that everything went very well with the installation until the Windows 7 loaded into the Bay. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Are you sure you are using the right drive?

    The OEM versions include a disc OPK and the Windows 7 installation disc, make sure you use the right one.

    Also, insert the disc, press C on your keyboard and select the Windows 7 disc to boot from it.

    Hello

    As far as I know your device comes with Windows XP Home Edition, but you can install professional at any time. All the drivers, tools and utilities that you have on the CD-ROM of the tools can also be used with professional.

    As Tom says check the installations instructions and install all of the components in the order. It is very important.

  • Recent installation of win 7 pro refurb

    Installed on a refurbed pc. After that, I found that the motherboard only support usb 1.1. Expansion slots only 2 are both in use or I would simply use a usb 2.0 expansion card. My question is, if I remove the card and install a more recent Council refurbed, can I use the key again? The former Council is worthless for me.

    An edition of Windows 7 for use on a refurbished computer is an "OEM" version, and as such, is related to the first motherboard on which it is installed. You can call Microsoft and explain your problem and they can allow you to re - install on another / replacement card (it can't hurt to try).

  • Decrypt encrypted files and records who have done in Win XP Pro, but now we want to decrypt in Win 7 Pro.

    Hi, please advise me that how can I decrypt my encrypted files and folders now since I got them when I was with Win XP Pro and after all of a sudden my Win XP Pro crash and the installation of Win 7 Pro? I mean, now I use now Win 7 Pro in the lap top, it had Win XP Pro and I did an encryption my files and folders at this time.

    Please notify.

    Thanks & regards in advance

    It will never ask for the encryption keys. Whenever an encrypted file/folder is created, the keys are also created and stored safely in the system. At any time, you can take a backup of the keys (you need, as you cannot decrypt it without the keys).

  • Update to Win 8 Pro on Dell - used the extra features Add - key function but now is rejected

    Hello

    I bought a Dell XPS with Win 8 pre installed computer and key in the BIOS.

    I needed features of Windows 8 Pro, so I bought a retail dvd.

    When I pop the disk in the Dell to do a fresh install... it fails. I think it's because the activation key which is located in the BIOS is set to the version 8 to win and will not let me install the Windows 8 Pro.

    So what I was thinking was I could go to add Windows 8 features. It asks for a product key. I get the product key provided with the pro Win 8 of retail disc.  It worked and it comes and goes.  For some reason, the computer crashed. Ok. Rebooted the machine. When I go back to the features add Windows 8 and add the product key, it is now rejected.

    I have a few questions that I hope that you can answer:

    1. is my activation key pro 8 victory at retail now invalid? Shouldn't be able to reuse the key for new installations? He is always on the same machine.

    2. someone with experience with the installation of win 8 pro on a Dell computer with the ordinary 8 Win on the Bios?

    I installed clean installs of Windows many times, but never on a Dell computer. so I am frustrated he gave me these questions.

    Thank you!

    8 win was preinstalled with the Dell XPS.

    I have a full retail version of DVD to win 8 pro.

    It was very weird. If I stop the machine because I dropped. Came back to her and did a few more things. Then I got frustrated by the 'led' search somehow got installed and removed.

    This required a reset. While she has been reset, it said that it was the application of updates.  Ok. It was weird.

    After the reboot, I checked the version of windows, and it is indeed the Windows 8 Pro version.

    So what's happened? I do not know. I can't explain it.

    This is not a update product key. It is a full commercial product key.

    I don't know why it took days and several reboots before something kicks and managed to install from Microsoft.

    I wish I can explain it. I can't.

    But thanks for the quick response and offer help.

    Could someone, please, tell me, why there is no driver SATA AHCI controller for Compaq 610 for Win 7 PRO SP1 RUS x 64 in the download section of HP support for Compaq 610?

    (01) where can I get the latest version of the SATA AHCI controller driver for Compaq 610 for Win 7 PRO SP1 RUS x 64?
