Decommissioning of 8.1 of Windows to Windows 7 on hp envy 17-g0721av

Hello

Well, I see a lot of people going through this exercise.

I'm loading Windows 7 on my laptop new HP Envy 17.

Of course, Miss us all types of pilots.

I found a little by following this forum.

However, I still need to find

Ethernet controller (tried a little here, but did not work)

Network controller (even here have not found the right one yet)

PCI Simple Simple Communications controller

Universal Controller controller of Bus series (USB) (tried a few here too)

Then, I got two unknow devices; no doubt the camera and the fingerprint reader.

Any help is appreciated.

I understand that HP is not directly help this downgrade. I'm not taste 8.1 windows if I want to go back to Windows 7.

I have the base system installed, and as I said I found some drivers, but not all.

Thanks in advance,

Ralph m. Hornung

Hi, Ralph:

I can't find any info on this model # you posted.

What CPU did?  Intel core in 3rd or 4th generation processor?

There are different usb 3 controller drivers if you have a 3rd or 4th generation core.

Follow these steps, and I'll post links to the wireless driver you need...

Go to Device Manager, find the other devices category, click the network controller needing drivers.

Then click on the Details tab in the upper part of the window network controller.

Now, you see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

Drop down on it and select the second item in the list (Hardware ID).

After the first string of characters that start with PCI\VEN.

Ethernet driver that you are interested in is probably the 3rd on the list at the link below.

  • Decommissioning of 8.1 for Windows Windows 7

    Hello

    I just configured 4 HP 250 notebooks G2. They came with windows 7 Pro is installed and I used the recovery disks provided with the machines to be upgraded to 8.1.

    The Manager I get their loan for now tells me that the software they want to run does not support 8.1 - the machine must be windows 7...

    Can I do this downgrade with just the PC and the recovery discs (these are only 8.1)? Should a Windows 7 Pro installation media (I have it)?

    Thank you

    Robin

    @Robinaccio

    The word from inside HP is that you can contact HP to order recovery media for 64-bit Windows 7 for the G2 of 250 HP.  Win7 SLP 2.1 is present in the BIOS for the activation of the operating system.

    I recommend that you ask the usb recovery media. The cost should be about $25.00 USD.

  • I need 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 for HP ENVY 17-jo27cl

    I searched the forum for a solution to this problem and didn't see anything for my particular model.

    I gave to Windows 8 a relatively long test - about 2 weeks.  Hatred is not strong enough a Word.  I "upgraded" to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I have problems to find drivers.

    I have no drivers for the cable or the wireless network connection, so I'll have to ask that question of my aging Dell.

  • 8.1 Windows Pro update the problem (from Windows 8 Pro) on Envy 23 TouchSmart all-in-One...

    Hello

    I have a HP Envy 23 Touchsmart all-in-one that I bought a year ago (12/2012). It comes preinstalled with Windows 8.

    System information:

    (a) Intel (r) Core i7 - 3770 S CPU @ 3.10 GHz

    (b) 8192 MB of RAM

    A few weeks after that I had bought the system, I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center that I bought through Microsoft upgrade program.

    Last week (19/10/2013), I saw the option upgrade to Windows 8. 1 in the store and decided to upgrade.

    After a few minutes, I got a prompt asking me to restart the computer, and I did.

    However, I noticed that the screen has turned white, but it restarts not really - I have seen that the hard drive light was still flashing and I waited for about 15 minutes. I know it does not restart because if that were the case I would have seen the HP logo on the screen of the BIOS. A little later, the system entered into mode 'sleep' (at least the light blinked slowly as if it was the sleep). As it was late at night, I decided to leave the system alone and decided to check on it the next morning. The next morning, he was still in mode 'sleep' (as I feared) - when I tried to wake up from her sleep by moving the mouse/hit the return key, he did the exact sounds as if he were to wake up from its sleep (as it always does), but the screen is still blank. The light power button lit up constantly indicating he's awake now.

    At this point, I decided to turn off the system by holding the button for a few seconds. To restart, I saw the HP logo on the BIOS boot screen and the screen went white and nothing came.

    So I decided do a system recovery using my Windows 8 recovery CD and turn off the system with the CD in its niche. This time, the system came and began immediately to restore my OS to a previous version.

    After connecting to the system recovered, I received the following message:

    "Could not update for Windows 8.1.

    Sorry, we could not complete the update Windows 8.1. We have restored the previous version of Windows on this computer.

    0xC1900101 - 0 x 40019.

    I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 a couple of times after that. Once to disable all non-Microsoft services and disabling all startup programs. Always the same result.

    I have no antivirus software on my other system protection of Microsoft default system software.

    Any help, greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I have disabled active secure boot existing starter and the update worked.  Now we get the error of watermark "secure boot not configured correctly.  But I have re-enabled secure boot and the error disappeared.

  • Downgrade to windows 7 Windows 8 pro Hp Envy dv6-1090ee

    I recently bought a new Hp dv6-1090ee envy which has windows 7 preinstalled. I used the offer to upgrade to windows 8 pro for $ 14.99, but I did not like the new interface of windows 8 and I would go down to my original windows 7 with the factory settings.

    I checked the multiple sources in the best way and more confused when I started has finished. I really hope I can get the best solution here or at least performed on the best site where I could follow the appropriate directions.

    Some useful information:

    I have upgraded to windows 8 pro and did not have a facility clean (I still have a windows.old folder).

    I don't have a recovery disc for my windows 7.

    I don't remember the version of windows 7, I had.

    I have an old windows 7 installation disc, but I don't know the product key provided for windows 7 with the laptop.

    I just wanted to say that I could solve my problem with a very simple method. I contacted HP support through my HP support assistant at home and the solution was much easier than I anticipated.

    Since I've only updated, I still had the windows.old folder. so, I followed the following procedure:

    1 restart my pc.

    2. press F11 before that windows 8 has begun.

    3. the Recovery Manager open.

    4. I chose to restore the computer to factory without backup (since I had already backed up all my data on a Portable hard drive previously).

    5. the Installer started and the computer was still brand new.

    Everything worked well. Thank you HP support.

    It is a solution to my personal problem and on my model, I don't know if it works on all new HP laptops. My best advice for anyone with a problem is to contact HP support through HP support assistant, it is a very useful tool.

  • Activate the AHCI in Windows 8 / BIOS - HP Envy Sleekbook 6 - 1153eo

    Greetings,

    My computer:

    HP Envy Sleekbook 6 - 1153eo

    Windows 8 Pro

    AHCI is currently disabled on my computer and I want to get the best performance out of it. It can be enabled easily through the windows registry, but to get this to work I need to be sure that the AHCI is currently enabled in the BIOS as well. When I enter the BIOS it's not just all advanced options available, only the time and date and other bases. How can I know weather or not that AHCI is enabled in the BIOS? How can I access the advanced options in the BIOS to turn on the AHCI (if it is not already turned on, that is)?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    th0d

    Hello:

    The BIOS of HP notebooks of consumption made in recent years is already set to AHCI, and it cannot be changed to any other setting.

    In some models that offer two hard drives, the default value of the BIOS can be on the RAID.

    Computers to only HP business notebooks have a BIOS setting to change the controller in AHCI or IDE mode.

    Go to Device Manager and expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section and you should see a speed control that is listed as a SATA AHCI controller.

    In the case of AMD laptops, it can just be tagged as a SATA controller.

  • HP Envy 14-2000: Windows 10 on HP envy 14-2000?

    Hello! I use a HP Envy 14-2000, and I want to upgrade the operating system to Windows 10. Windows 10 will be correct for this laptop? Or is I meet problems? I just need to make sure before I update since I've heard so many horror stories about upgrades of Windows 10. Thank you!

    voodooenvy

    First of all, don't be fooled what MS has written about the compatibility of the upgrade of ANY PC to Win10.  I did and he ransacked two of my PC so I had to restore it to the original factory condition to get them working again.

    If you upgrade your PC to Win10 and he trashes is and contact you MS, they you send HERE and disavow any responsibility to screw up your PC.  We see this same problem over and over again.

    Then, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    However, for the MS drivers that don't work well, you might consider using drivers HP Win8 - although there is no guarantee that these drivers will work.  Here is the link to the page of software and drivers HP product for Win8 to your PC: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-14-2000-Notebook-PC-series/5091481/model/5118491

    You may need to install the drivers using the compatibility mode: http://www.windows10forums.com/articles/compatibility-mode.7/

    However... Before any upgrade, I strongly suggest that make you an image backup of your system to an external hard drive or a large USB key. This is VITAL, because the machine may fail the upgrade, and if so, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.

    You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    Thirdly, Windows Update is easier, but less reliable, how to make the upgrade to Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.

    Good luck

  • Put Windows 7 on hp envy 17 Quad t - now USB no longer works!

    Hello

    I just got a HP Envy 17 Quad t, which came with Windows 8 on it.  I'm not a fan of him, so I installed Windows 7 instead.  After installation do not work many things, as expected, but I was able to install drivers windows 7 for them and got all the functions that have been lost so far, I have noticed to rework except my USB ports.  I tried two different drivers of these boards with no joy.  If someone has the right driver, so I can get USB up and running would be extremely appreciated!

    Thank you

    Max

    OK, was able to fix it myself after a few hours of really messing around.  (I'm not a computer guy, so this announcement to other experts).

    First of all, I went on the Intel site and updated the chipset driver, once again.  This fixed the problem of Bus SM.

    Second, I had to find the driver 5227 RTS for the card reader from RealTek PCIE, which I couldn't find on the site from RealTek but through multiple searches on Google using the portion of the id of material only up to '... in the end 5227."it's strange, because another driver RealTek PCIE card reader worked before Win7 updates, but that even the driver did NOT work thereafter.

    Then he got even more bizarre, to me at least.  The I need drivers were all there in Device Manager, no more yellow triangles, but I plugged my external hard drive on a USB port on the right side of my computer and nothing.  The way in which my office is set up I really only use this side.  Exasperated I tried the USB port on the left with another device.  Alto!  It took.  I had to plug my external hard drive in the left side first and could then unplug and install it on the right side and it worked.  No idea why it would need with one side first, then don't work both sides.  I waited a long time when I plugged it on the right side first before trying the left where he recognized immediately, then immediately recognized on the right after that.
