Computer laptop 15-305dx: I hate windows 10

My laptop is new and has been preloaded with win 10. I want to downgrade to 7. Does anyone do this? All the problems?

Kat31

Must ask ourselves, if you do not Win10 much, then why did you buy a new laptop with Win10 preinstalled?

Laptops contain especially of specialized equipment for which, for these features, drivers are needed - and these are ONLY from the OEM, in this case, HP. Your PC is preinstalled with Windows 10. If you delete or overwrite the original Win10 on your PC with Win 7, you will encounter serious problems as there are no HP Win7 drivers for new hardware that comes with new machines.

MS provides drivers that provide only the basic features.  This means that the functionality of the material is likely to NOT work if you force a downgrade.  Which includes functions such as the touch pad, graphics swtichable, WiFi, USB ports - to name the functions commonly reported here.

If you want all the features of the machine, you must keep the original version of OS preinstalled.

Good luck

  • Computer laptop Gateway does not load windows Vista, reads configuration data read error: System.

    OK a friend knows me to fix his laptop. Apparently what she was experiencing major problems, so he erased the disc and tried to reinstall Win Vista from disk. Will not work. I can get to where you can choose a partition to install the operating system to, and it says: Windows cannot find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation. My friend says he has just tried, form disassemble the computer an audit of all the parties to try ALL the different options during installation, as well as the options for the BIOS. Any ideas people? Here are the approximate specifications, because the owner has not been able to get the computer working for awhile:
    4 GHz, 4 GB RAM computer Gateway laptop, 2006, Phoenix TrustedCore, and a string of other interesting info that appears on the first screen of the error:

    9D.03 BIOS version

    632K RAM passed system
    3966M extended RAM passed
    1024 KB of L2 Cache

    System Configuration data read error.

    I'm not very tech savy and I'm not the owner of the PC, so I don't know all about it so go easy on me :).

    If your friend tried to reinstall Windows by using the defined gateway recovery disc (and this is the best way) and this recovery fails, the laptop has hardware problems. Disassemble laptops is a fickle business at best and while it sounds like the hardware problems started before your friend did this, it may have put the nails in the coffin of the laptop to take apart.

    At this point, you can try troubleshooting hardware or your friend can take the laptop to a competent professional (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place). However, if the laptop has had hard use, your friend must remember that a cell of 4 years with major hardware problems probably won't be cost effective to repair.

    Hello

    This process will allow you to do a Vista repair disc. This isn't an installation disc, but will allow you to use the Vista Recovery Console that is available on commercial versions of Vista.

    Download the file from the link below.

    Vista 64-bit

    It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip, when installed, right-click on the zipped folder, select extract files and then click Ok.  You should now see another folder containing the ISO file.

    You will need software to burn the ISO to a CD.  If you don't have that guy on the software installed, download and install ImgBurn and use it to burn the ISO to a CD.

    Once you have created the Vista repair disk, follow the guide on the link below to see if it undertakes to repair your installation - you may need to run this several times.

    Hi all

    I'm working on laptop HP Pavillion G7-1070us of my father, and I'm having a problem starting after the installation of 8 GB of RAM.  I upurchased 2 sticks of 4 GB of DDR3 PC10600 UN buffered, NON ECC RAM of Frys and everytime I go to start the laptop it throws an error that can not load Windows and offers to run the repair or start normally... little matter that you select, it goes back in the loop of what prompts to repair or load... The BIOS recognizes all the 8 gb... have you tried 2 different sets of different manufacturers (Patriot and Crucial). As soon as I pop 2 2 GB sticks in it boots fine... I even tried to start the the Windows 7 DVD to repair windows, but he always comes back in the loop... I tried the two current and previous BIOS without success... Help, please

  • Sound schemes system works is not on Windows 8 computer laptop after fully updated from Windows 7

    As the title says, I have improved my laptop Win 7 with Windows 8 Pro of Dreamspark (MSDNAA). I also did a clean install of Windows 8 Pro on my PC. Everything goes well on my PC. But on my laptop, the sound system system is cut off, even if the volume of the sound system to 100%. Metro applications notification sounds are silent, too. When I open the sound control panel, al sounds preview worked fine (also good default & custom programs to Windows 7). Also, I check the Windows startup sound 'play' & he play every time I start Windows. All the other audio music, videos, game apps, Internet, YouTube, Flash worked fine, the system of sound patterns are dumb. The audio files are all good, not corrupt, the volume of system sounds even on when I found these files on the array of sounds. But when I actually did things like navigate in File Explorer, connect devices USB, emptying recycled bin, there was simply no sound. I don't know if the problem is with my local Windows 7 account now be upgraded & linked with my Microsoft account, since I've heard of people having the same problem & had to create a new account for. Maybe there's something wrong with the admin permissions that prevent the audio to trigger when the events occur. There is nothing wrong with the audio driver since I've upgraded to the latest Realtek HD 2.70 (support Win 8) on both my laptop & PC, has worked on PC & except for this problem, worked fine with any other audio source on my laptop. Help, please. Thank you!

    PS: My laptop is a screen touch 2 - pt 2010, but still usable with the new startup screen. Just info, no doubt, that it has nothing to do with this problem. Although I found it less intuitive than Win 7 desktop. In Windows 7, you can actually swipe to go back & set out in Explorer, touch 2 fingers to right click (rather than just hold), the touchpad had same suggestion of words like WP7. None of them work in the Office of Windows 8. Improve the Office to be more touch optimized, since now the Metro user interface is fully developed. Just say "." Instead, I'm in love, especially on my PC because it run so fast without a hitch!

    I think I found the solution. There is a DWORD key "Mute" in my HKCU root key. Delete it & it's back to normal. I don't understand why there is this key exists.

  • Pavilion laptop laptop 15-ab158nb: downgrade from windows 10 for windows 7

    Hello, I bought a laptop for computer laptop 15-ab158nb with 10 windows installed

    I like windows7 more (I'm used to) and you want to downgrade to windows 7

    I am looking for the hp support site and they only drivers for windows 10

    -that someone tried this with success

    Thank you

    Rudi

    Before you change or change anything, please create your personal HP recovery media.

    You'll need a new copy of Windows 7 64-bit with a Microsoft COA and a figure of 25 unused/valid key PID from Microsoft. Windows 7 DVD may not work properly on UEFI-based systems, this is why you may need to create a FAT32 UEFI USB Windows 7 for Windows 7 installation key to install correctly.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer may ask that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    After installing Windows 7, you will need to install any drivers necessary before being fully functional. Most of the Windows 7 drivers on the page of software and the driver HP Pavilion Notebook-15z ab000 CTO - should work on your computer. Please do not use any BIOS or Firmware from this page.

    Thanks for posting (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all the remaining of the missing and/or unknown devices, as shown in the example below, and we can direct you to the correct drivers.

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

    I discovered that apart Intel chipset USB 2.0 support Skylake chipset.

    Sense that normal USB install windows will not work.

    ISO Windows Microsoft not drivers USB 3.0 natives.

    Therefore, add USB 3.0 drivers in Windows ISO.

    Intel has on it.  They have a utility that does all the work for you.

  • computer laptop VAIO keeps restarting

    I bought my computer laptop sony vaio (model SVF15318SNB windows 8TM) April 2014 but on the month of August I have encounter a problem even now the laptop itself keep restart displaying the vaio icon but after restart 5 times or less he launched little windows. Fortunately, windows doesn't crash at all, but after 10 or 30 min it stop and restart itself. So, I look at sony nursery they check the Ram system, control the fan unfortunately, they do not find the specific target, they said that maybe it's the operating system that is causing the problem. Thus, they recover the windows. After recovery, the laptop works fine without problem. But after a few days the problem occur.so I take a recovery action after that and that during the system recovery itself close and restart this worst case is that the windows driver is impossible lock to update the system everything is lock

    I also ran the RAM, hardware scan both he could not find any error. Furthur consultation for the vaio Center care havnt done yet.

    So if there are suggestions please post and I will appreciate it.

    Hello Vishwaschangamayum,

    Thank you for believing in us giving the opportunity to help you.

    I can understand the level of frustration through which you are going. As you mentioned in your post that the problem began in August. Thus, there could be a chance that the problem originated on the Windows Update, released by Microsoft in the same month, as many customers were faced with the same question.

    These types of errors usually occur with a blue on the computer screen, when a serious problem causes Windows 8 to stop or restart unexpectedly. There are several reasons why this type of error occurs on the computer. They occur generally when there is some driver problems in the computer. However, it can be also a few other software/hardware reasons.

    Please refer to the suggestion provided by rvuerinckx replied on August 15, 2014 in the following thread.

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.
