• Should I order initial recovery disks or upgrade to windows 7 discs?

  I have a HP Pavilion p6116f Desktop 64 bit Vista operating system updated and original upgraded to Windows 7, my drive crashed so I'm looking for the recovery disc.  Should I order initial recovery disks or upgrade to windows 7 discs?

  Harddrivealert, welcome to the forum.

  If you use original recovery disks it will restore the computer to its orignal configuration, including Vista.  You can't get recovery for the computer disks that include Win 7.  You will need to purchase a full copy of Windows.  You need to make sure that you can find all the drivers for Win 7.

  Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

  In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

• HP Touchsmart 23-d055: do I need a new recovery disk after upgrade to Windows 10?

  I upgraded my 2 years, HP Touchsmart in Windows 8 for Windows 8.1 for Windows 10. It took me 6 hours to run all of these updates.

  Now, HP Support Assistant keeps reminding me to create an image of system recovery. But when I run the recovery media creation utility, it warns me that he goes back to the original operating system (Win8). Is it possible to create a recovery image system for my machine on Windows 10?

  I know that Windows 10 now has an automatic recovery partition. But I am concerned by the failure of the disk, which would make this unnecessary partition. Last year, when I've upgraded to win 8.1, I had an alteration of the disc that has occurred without known reason. I lost everything on the PC and to restore Win 8, and I've never touched the PC up to 10 Windows free update is out.

  I created a USB Win8 recovery disk when I got the machine. This is my only alternative? I suppose that if I ran the recovery media creation utility, it would recreate just the same.

  BTW, I know that HP has here a document, but it does on computers provided with Windows installed 10.

  • HP computers - create and use a Microsoft recovery USB drive (Windows 10)
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04641788

  Thank you for your help and experience.

  Since no one has replied with an answer to my question, I've finally worked it on my own. I learned that you cannot make a new recovery disk system after the upgrade to Windows 10, if you had already created one when you got your machine under Windows 8.x

  Context: after upgrade to Windows 10, the HP Support Assistant kept prompting me to create a system recovery disk.  I did one when I got the machine 2 years with Win8.  I didn't replace my original recovery disk, so I went out and got a new 16GB USB flash drive. When I inserted this new drive and attempted to create a recovery disk, the PC told me I couldn't do one, because you are allowed to make a recovery disc by PC.

  So it was kind of stupid that after completing the upgrade of Windows 10, HP Support Assistant tells people to do. It should just check itself and see if a disc has already been done. All this anguish for nothing!

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

In the Task Manager, the use of the disc on my C:\ drive 100%, and in resource manager, C:\pagefile.sys was at the head of the disk (e/s).

• Can I use Windows 7 Professional (upgrade disc, not anytime upgrade) to Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade?

  I'm currently under Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I have the opportunity to get a copy of Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade Version) at a significant discount. My question is simple. Can I switch from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional through the Professional upgrade version?

  Please note that I don't want to use Windows Anytime Upgrade to Home Premium to professional. On the contrary, I want to use the disk to upgrade to Windows 7 professional real upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium. Thank you.

  Well, I tried it and the answer is no.  The only way to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional is by using Windows Anytime Upgrade.

• Satellite U500-10F - creating recovery disk after upgrade Windows 7

  I bought a Satellite U500-10th with Vista OS and I decided to upgrade to Windows 7, so I ordered at Toshiba upgrade disk and installed it.

  * My question is *: * it is possible to create with Windows 7 recovery discs? * in order to avoid the downside to install vista first then do the upgrade to windows 7

  Whenever I need to do a clean install and also to avoid the disadvantage that it is not too recommended to validate windows whenever you perform a clean installation, because the problems of authenticity can emerge with microsoft!

  Thank you

  Hi m.tarek,

  I doubt that this would be possible. First of all, you have ordered only an upgrade, which means that this version can be installed on a pre-installed version of Vista. It is not a full version that you can install without BONES.

  Besides recovering the files on the second partition (btw, that's a picture) contains the Vista operating system and not Windows 7. It does not update.

  Sorry mate, but this is why there will always be this update of s. Alternative, you can create your own image using Acronis True Image or other imaging software.

• Qosmio G30 - upgrade to Windows 7 and better hard disks

  Hello world

  That's what we all want, right...

  I have a G30 - 182, Windows Vista 32-bit. An external HHD, DW 1 TB. Now 3 years and for some serious upgrade.

  I love the G30's big screen and very nice, as a photographer, I find the graphics excellent and accurate. One of the drawbacks is the primary HHD speed I can say. Performance index Windows says 4.2 which is totally unacceptable in 2010.

  So what to do?

  I just upgraded the RAM to 2 x 2 GB Kingston HyperX, which has given a huge boost. The specs are product code: KHX5300S2LLK2 / 4G DDR2 SDRAM, time 4-4-4-12, CL 4, 667 MHz, SO DIMM 200 pin, 1.8 V. The price is right, and I guess that's better than the RAM original Toshiba which is of older date. Of course, I encourage everyone to do the same.

  So what's next. I think that an upgrade to Windows 7. I think there are so many guidelines in this forum, I expect a lot of trouble here.

  But how about a couple of new HHDs? Can anyone advice me on this point, please.

  I would like a bigger and faster HHDs maybe. It will be a good choice: 2 X Toshiba MK5055GSX - hard drive - 500 GB - serial SATA 300 - tranferrate 300 Mbps - buffer 8 MB in size.

  -but then comes the installation, huh... I have no idea.

  Hey Buddy,

  > Performance index Windows says 4.2 which is totally unacceptable in 2010.
  Who said that this index is totally unacceptable in 2010?
  As far as I know the highest score you can get on Vista is 5.0 so I think that your result is good and is not a reason to do a hardware upgrade.
  In addition these benchmarks aren't important. If I m happy with my laptop and it s fast enough for me, everything is ok and I don't need no reference results.

  In any case, new 500 GB HDDs should be a bit faster because they have a higher density of the date. This means that everything can be loaded slightly faster.
  I put t know the exact details of these drives but if you really want some fast hard disks, you should buy one with 7200 RPM. They produce heat a little more and need more power, but access time is lower than on 5400 RPM.

  In the best cases, you buy an SSD for the OS, programs and a 500 GB model for your data/photos. That of the best performance gain.

  Finally, and especially if you can get all the drivers and tools for Windows 7, you can check here:

• HP Pavilion dv6-3150us Notebk: space low disk after upgrade to version 1607 Windows10

  In the month of August I have improved my laptop Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 10.  Everything worked fine for a month now until Windows 10 1607 version has been highly recommended by people of Windows 10.

  After having updated with all updates faithfully, but as soon as I tried (four times) to install Windows 10 1607 version, then the step of time again to return to the previous version of Windows.  Then I hit a brick wall.  I always get the error message: "low disk space".  And Windows is continuously remind upgrade me to 1607. As in the famous movie, it's a catch-22 situation.

  I read part of the help Forum and led to a link suggested by a member of the staff of HP as the only resolution available.  The link for this low disk space error problem is http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03736755.

  I translated the link Windows 7 instructions in organization style Windows of problem resolutions 10 and is in the section "Files and folders" and then followed the steps in Windows 7.  But I always hit a brick wall.  In the view of files hidden on my recovery disk (drive D I checked I didn't backup any personal files to occupy space unnecessarily.)  I also emptied the previous system restore and just did a new restoration of the system.  But still the same problem.  It seems I need to extend my recovery disk for Windows 10 version 1607.  But by following the steps in the evolution of my partitions, the option to extend the recovery disc has been shaded and so available.

  Is it possible to enlarge my recovery disk? This laptop is great and has a lot of life left.  I don't want to have to buy a new one just to work on this problem of low disk space error.

  Desperately need help because it is the only computer for our family.

  Sorry do not provide the follow-up to resolution as soon as possible.  Here's how my problem was resolved:

  I asked my son to help IT specialist.  He re-partitioned my computer using a free software tool (AOMEI Partition Wizard Standard Edition).    I choose to add 50 GB of my unit (recovery drive) which then totaled 68 GB for this drive. because I wanted to ensure this problem wouldn't come back and I had space to work with.

  I have worked with this resolution now for about a month and have a zero problem.  What I noticed, was that after a few weeks 10 Windows should have automatically cleared out my previous updates because Windows Explorer now shows that this drive has a file size a total space of 68 and 51 GB that is not used which brings my use of the reader to 17 GB.

  I am guessing that before Windows 10 empty automatically previous updates that he needed somewhere between 20-25 Go make the final version of 1607 upgrade and retain earlier versions (for me to return to the previous editions).   Then the end of the period of time to return 10 Windows must have automatically deleted my previous editions and just kept upgrading version of 1607.  In hindsight I would have added 50 GB on my drive - on another 10-12 GB would have been more than enough for this transition period to work.

  Finally I am EXTREMELY well pleased I did the update of Windows 10 and then added the update of the birthday Version (1607).   I like the added security features and a large number of features and benefits.

  Hope this helps others.

• Damaged HARD disk, need to reinstall windows... but I had installed the Vista upgrade 7!

  Hello

  A few months ago, my computer (HP Pavilion a6700f) decided that he no longer wanted to live. The hard drive is corrupted and I could never get anything from him. I tried many ways, sent him, put it in another computer... it is as if there is never nothing about it initially. (Sad because I stupidly did not save my content). I have come to terms with her being gone, and I'm now looking to reinstall and start over.

  I tried to run the install disc and it won't go to the point where she wants to give me drivers... my question is, because I had updated the computer to its original operating system Vista to Windows 7 when they offered the free update, I have to reinstall windows Vista, and then upgrade again? Or it will allow me to install drivers windows 7? Also, is there somewhere where I can download the installation for my specific computer disks? I used the upgrade disk to reinstall, but he wants than signed drivers.

  I know that sounds a little crazy, but I want to fix it than to buy a new HARD drive. I have my windows for Vista key... Although I don't know if there was another key for the upgrade to Windows 7, as on the package or something... like I did that more.

  I hope this makes sense to someone! Thanks in advance!

  As you have no recovery disk, you will have to order them from service to HP customers in your country if they are still available for a nominal charge:

  If you decide to replace the hard drive, to have one that is not less than 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM like the one you have now.

• HP Pavilion 15-p264na: upgrade of Windows 10 - recovery disk

  I just bought this laptop with win 8.1 on. I want to upgrade to windows 10 and produce a recovery disk using the installation of HP, which cannot be done at once. The question is what to do first. I'm afraid that if I do first the disc, then I assume will only recover Windows 8.1, which means another upgrade to win 10, which then can no longer be available as a free update. If I do the first update, should I still the ability to produce a recovery disk? and if he will he recover to win 10?

  Hello:

  You must make the recovery W8.1 media now before moving on to W10.

  It will only take up to W8.1, and no matter what you do, it will only retrieve W8.1 by using the HP tool to make the drive.

  Upgrading to W10 has no effect on the change of the W8.1 recovery partition.  Only, it installs W10 on the C:\ drive and makes no other changes.

  Here's how I see the second part of your concern (what concerns me too).

  Like you said after next July, W10 is not free, what happens if you need to restore W10 or you get a new hard drive and you have to install everything.

  First of all, after you upgrade to W10, in the tool settings > activation, you can check that W10 is enabled.

  I'd say you need to reinstall W8.1 and then upgrade to W10 and when you go to turn it on going because he already know that W10 has been installed on the PC before.  Microsoft maintains a database of activation which should allow the PC to have W10 still for free.

  You can make a W10 installation/repair ISO disk usb flash drive, or from the link below.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

  Another thing I did was to create a system image of the installation of the W10 and recorded on a portable hard drive.

  I did use the tool to create system image (windows 7) in the W10 system control panel option.

  My plan would be to try first before anything else.  You can use the installation/repair W10 disc that you create to access the system image that you create, and I hope that will save a lot of time and effort.

  You can update the image of the system as many times as you want, and it will overwrite the existing image on the laptop hard drive.

  But until next July comes and goes, we can only speculate what will be the result of having to reinstall the W10.
