Decommissioning of 8.1 to 7
My computer is a Pavilion 23-p149. It came with W8.1 installed.
Because I'm a translator, I need to run Office 2000, 2007 and the latest version of Office at the same time as well as other specialized and expensive software.
8.1 does not support that and fact Windows 7 Pro. So I need to install Windows 7Pro quickly (like this week).
I disabled the Secure Boot, enabled Legacy support and tried to install windows from an old OEM copy. It goes up to the end of the installation, and then it restores... to 8.1
I tried with one copy of another and it does the same thing.
I'm willing to pay for a brand new W7. But will it work? and what I am doing wrong?
It seems that AIO is a special breed when trying to downgrade to Windows 7. This is why I said get the drivers first.
Look in the Device Manager. Click on the symbol arrow on one of the devices that use drivers open the category. IE: Network adapter. It will then show what is in this group. Right click on the IE input: controller Realtek, and then properties.
Then click on the Details tab. You will then get a box with an article that says "Description of the machine" with an arrow at the right end of this box. Click this arrow, and then choose "Hardware ID", the items listed in the box below shows the information of the element that will guide you to the necessary drivers (put this info in Google search) do this for each item and find the drivers for Windows 7 for each item in device manager. Save the drivers on a CD/DVD or flash cause by car, you will need after installed Windows 7.
I suspect that the installation is back to Windows 8 because it was not really installed. Windows 7 can install ona GPT formatted drive, but you must have the installation of the retail disc to make it work. This THREAD talking about install Windows 7 on the GPT disk.

Windows Pro 10. Update Firefox to v40.0. At the top, buttons full screen and the exit on the right, minimize it, didn't work and hovering on any of them could not highlight the button. I have re-downloaded the update and re-installed, but the problem still exists. As a test, I tried downgraded to v39.0.3, which fixed the problem. I realize that the downgrade may pose a security risk, but it works, and not v40.0! Prior to decommissioning, I tried the customization option, out, re - click on the menu bar, but neither helped. What to do next?

In addition to troubleshooting: I opened v40.0 Firefox in safe mode, and the problem occurred is no longer. Then restarted, open Firefox v40.0, using the option "Refresh", and the problem occurred is no longer. After add desired Plug-Ins and Extensions (eliminating some older or infrequently used items), I restarted Firefox, and the problem no longer occurs. Obviously, the problem was caused by one of the extensions eliminated or plug-ins. No other assistance needed.

Decommissioning of Pavilion 15-n287cl for Win7
Wife got a new Pavilion TouchSmart 15-n287cl and she hated Windows 8. I told him that I him downgrade to 7 after she has spent some time with her and hated 8... disabled Smart Boot, got Win7 installed just fine. Starts in 7 for the first time and I tried to install the drivers from the disk and a bootable USB key and got said that none of the drivers would work. Curious, because I've never had problems in the past. I went to the HP site and saw the drivers for my product:
Nothing of value is listed in the Windows 7 options. Did someone had a similar experience in decommissioning/when trying to find the Win7 drivers on a computer that is preinstalled with Win8?
Hello:
Give these a try...
First, you must install the AMD chipset driver and restart.
You want the first file on the Web page.
http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download/chipset?OS=Windows 7-64
Graphic design is the fun part. You can first try running AMD beta driver to the latest version from the link below and maybe it will install the drivers if no, then let me know and I'll give you another method to install it using this driver.

Audio: Accept the agreement. Download and install the second on the list.
Ethernet: Install the second on the list.

HP Pavilion p245sa: HP Pavilion decommissioning win 8.1 for Win 7 32 bit 64 bit
Sorry for the long post essentially brought a HP PAVILION p245sa laptop to replace the desk at work but none of any of my medical equipment works with the laptop. The laptop is 64-bit but the software and hardware only works with 32-bit windows. I got intouch with the manufacturers and they have confirmed that they do ABOUT 64-bit support. Among the material I'm using is a canon camera, however they can't all the 32-bit drivers for it.
While the laptop came with 64-bit WINDOWS 8.1, I thought once win 10 lot, I may be able to change the fuse, but no. Win 10 did nothing.
I installed Windows Vista AND Windows 7 32 bits, but the USB port, ethernet, WiFi drivers do not work. I tried to install the 64-bit original to win 8.1 drivers but they do not install it. Later, I tried to find the equivalent drivers for 32 bit by just googling. IE, I downloaded a 32-bit driver for Broadcom ethernet Web Lenova site, but it does not work either. So basically when I installed win 7 32 bit, what worked was cd player that's all.
I have restored the laptop completely, return to the factory restore now so there win 8.1 again, but I read someone else without decommissioning. If anyone can direct me, that will be great. !!!
Just FYI, I got in touch with microsoft, who can help, cat of hp who say they can't stand not anything outside of victory 8.1 or higher and got in the currys touch which are just a pain!
Hello:
You should be able to use all the W7 32-bit drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G2 on your model.
Do not use the BIOS and firmware files well.
http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/readIndex?sp4ts.Oid=6943827&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4053
If for any reason any the Intel HD graphics driver does not work, use the one directly from Intel... the first file listed is the automatic installation file.

decommissioning of the hp pavilion 2215dx windows 8 for windows 7 prof
f
Decommissioning experience so far. The only problem I had seemed to come of my allowing the Windows 7 pro, install more than 150 updates, which took all day, and then the computer died on me! lol I took a breath, turned on the computer, press ESC and went straight to the IEF, where, after clicking on the 'Start' and 'EFI' (Nothing), I then clicked on "Microsoft", which took me to the beginning of the Windows 7Pro install again. I just did a newinstall, and everything was fine. USB, CD/DVD, Audio... everything works.
Here are the questions:
Cursor and browser guard move and jump now. What should do? the
I loaded the drivers to get me back online. But there are still some drivers that need to be loaded, but where and whence? If the 2215dx has been implemented for win8 and I am usin win7pro, how can I do for updates to date and such? This means that all Win7 auto updates are no longer relevant?
So far, these "appear to" the drivers I need? :
PCI, PCI SIMPLE COMMUNICATOR, UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS, SM BUS CONTROLLER.
Again, all in all transfer to Win7 Pro has been great!

How is this ethernet driver does not work?

Decommissioning of my ENVY 15-j022el for Windows 7
Hello
I just bought the laptop above and I am going through the decommissioning process of the built-in Windows 8 to a whole new Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
The computer is just turned a couple of times, no hardware of software change either.
Shame on me, I have never imagined that the decommissioning process would have been so stressful when I bought the NB.
I searched a bit through the forums and it seems I'm not the only one, so here I am begging for gurus please, please provide me with a short tutorial or something.
NOTE: this phone does not come with a CD/DVD unit so I bought an external USB one - it is how I intended to install the new OS.
Apart from that, here's another detail: I had intended to have Ubuntu and Win7 on this machine working in separate disk partitions.
What should I do first? Downgrade to Win7 and then install Ubuntu or vice versa?
I apologize if these questions been asked a million times already, but I have not found an answer to my specific model of laptop and do not know if the ENVY 15-j033tx offers the same exact material that the 15-j022el, in order to better be safe than sorry in case where you answered the same question elsewhere give me please the link and that's all.
Thank you very much for your help,
Kind regards.
Stef
Hi, Stef:
First, you will need to change a setting in the BIOS to be able to install and run W7 on your model. See the information below.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03736054
You can use all the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model on the link below.
Install the Intel chipset first installation utility and restart.
Then, you need to install the Intel HD graphics driver before installing the graphics driver nVidia.
DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK
Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your other questions.
I never installed but operating systems simultaneously on one PC and of those, only Windows.
Best regards

questions about the decommissioning of win 8 for Win 7
I plan to install Win 7 Pro on my Win 8.1 on my desktop computer. My computer came preloaded with Win 8 and then I upgraded to win 8.1 by using Windows Update in Control Panel. So I have the computer manufacturers 64 bit Win 8 Support disc that came with the computer, but no Win 8.1 disk. I also have my old drive for Win 7 64-bit. My main concerns regard the problems potential decommissioning and also possible future problems if I decide to come back to Win 8 (regardless of the version then in force).
I have two questions:
(a) there will be problems if I decide in the future to upgrade Windows 7 Pro to whatever the current version to win 8 given that I only have my Win 8 of the manufacturer of the computer drive?
(b) in addition to needing all the drivers for Win 7, are there other problems by going win 8 for Win 7?
If you want to downgrade to Windows 7.
You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer.
If there are native drivers for Windows 7, there should be a problem.
Prior to decommissioning, I highly recommend facility backup the Windows 8.1 currently on the disk, so if you decide to go back to Windows 8, you can simply save your data in Windows 7 and restore the image of Windows 8.1. Learn how to:

Decommissioning of Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7 Pro on my PC HP Pavilion P6-2330
I need help without downgrading to use my ultimate Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1 on Windows 7, because VMware keeps having failures in operating systems and have a few options to download vhd files, even though I don't like VirtualBox for many reasons. But even VMware is not full full screen. When I go down even from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7 Pro, it disables my keyboard and mouse. I don't know why and it kills me.

Decommissioning of the Oracle 12.1.0 to 11R2 database
Hello world
I am very new to databases, and oracle products so lie my question may seem like a bit simple for someone, but I really owe an answer to it.
I use OTN Developer Day VM, that comes with the pre-installed Oracle DB 12cR1. I wonder if its possible to dowgrade it to 11R2? Perhaps in order to do the downgrade must have previously been improved from 11R2 to 12cR1?
Concerning
Hello
If it is one of the developer VMs / VDI images you will be giving yourself quite the headache. My advice would be rather just pull down one of the virtual machines, Oracle 11 g. That DB is very probably a new DB with the patterns of Dev.
I never tried without decommissioning a DB in addition to a lower version (if it is created in the latest version, so there is no rason). If it was built for schema components 12 c can rely on packages of 12 c and not to be backward compatible - thus depends on the product. Otherwise generally built schema will be joined by dependencies (for example several products have the builds of schema for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL) but will quote release dependencies.
Play with the dev builds seems kind of a waste of time (for yourself!) unless it's a task a developer day course!
It's pretty easy to separate the logic of the scheme via export / datapump.
Thank you

I use Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04 49.0.2. Until a few days ago, WebGL worked. A few days earlier, it has stopped working (one day after I installed the latest version of the Nvidia drivers). I tried the option "enable force", without success. WebGL context is created, but debugging, it looks that the shader is not compiled (so made is not possible). I already tried to change the options on the angle, without success. I tried to downgrade the graphics drivers and their modernization once again, without success.
My nvidia drivers are version 304.132 (latest version)
OK, solved. The problem is caused by a bug in the NVidia driver, as shown here:
