Downgrade from HP Pavilion G7 2304ed of windows 8 for windows7
Hello
I've been looking to downgrade a 2304ed HP Pavilion G7 of windows 8 for windows 7.
Unfortunately there are no windows 7 drivers listed for this model on the site.
Are there drivers available that can be used for this model, so I can install windows 7 correctly?
I don't mind getting the drivers of different models or suppliers and put everything together. I want to just install windows 7 and get rid of that ugly windows 8!
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
John.
Hi, John:
You can use all the W7 x 64 drivers and this model on your software.
For the graphics, you install only the AMD graphics driver that will install the drivers for the two GPUS.

Downgrade HP Pavilion G6 2300st of Windows 8 for Windows 7. No driver?
Hello
We bought a HP Pavilion G6 2300st to our parents with Windows 8 is installed. Unfortunately, they have some diffuculties with Windows 8. So I thought that we had to downgrade to windows 7.
I tried to install Windows 7 on last night and I was not be able to do so because of the Legacy Support and UEFI etc.
After that, little research on the web and I think I'll be able to install windows 7 now. However, when I was searching the Web, I realized there are a lot of people have the same problems of course problem drivers. Then I find that G6 2300 st has no W7 drivers.
I wonder if anyone here downgraded G6 2300 st for W7 or not?
I found someone here downgrade the G6-2306el to W7 linked below.
That is the question; Can I use the same drivers who said in these posts?
If not, could someone please help me find the drivers work for G6 2300 st for OS Win7?
Kind regards

Your model uses the graphics from Intel, AMD, not a driver.
In addition, you should make your W8 recovery media set before installing W7, because the recovery partition will not work probably, just in case you want to or need to reinstall W8.

HP Pavilion g6 - 2248ca and Windows 7
I just Pavilion G6 - 2248CA, tried Windows 8 for awhile. I can't stand it, call me old school, but it all seems like much more of a pain in the ass to do anything on this operating system. So I put away.
I have not installed windows 7, no problem, but Im having a lot of difficulty getting things to work. mainly, the 2 slots usb on the left side. some of the function keys IE volume up volume down, play pause on the keyboard, and where the f-1 through f12 keys.
Device Manager can't find the drivers for the following items:
Ethernet controller
PCI device
SM Bus controller
(USB) Universal Serial Bus controller
(USB) Universal Serial Bus controller
Now I really don't like too much for f1 - f10 function keys work, but I would get the work off of usb. The HP's website to get the chipset drivers to take better advantage of these work, but I'm not sure that this chipset uses this laptop.
Someone at - it solutions to make this flawlessy of laptop computer work under windows 7 cause really, I can't install windows 8 wannabe this tablet.
Thank you.
Hello:
First install the chipset driver and restart. First download listed.

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

Thank you

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.

Pavilion 15-AB044SA: Downgrade from Windows 8.1 to windows 7 on HP Pavilion 15-AB044SA
I just branch a refurbished HP 15-AB044SA comes with preinstalled Windows 8.1. I'm not a fan of the operating system and want to downgrade to windows 7. Could you please guide me to the decommissioning?
And I have the same funcitionality in the laptop running Windows 7 as Windows 8.1? Is it possible to keep the same license OS currently on the laptop?
Thanks in advance,
Mario R
If the reason why you don't like Win8x is the lack of a desktop and start menu, consider downloading and installing ClassicShell. This will give the look-and-feel of Win7 back - and it's FREE!
As for Win7, there are drivers HP to Win7 for your PC: http://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771366/model/8255011
If this page does not display Win7 when you open it, then click on edit and select Windows 7 from the menu drop down.
As for the feature, Yes, you will have the same functionality in Win7 you have in Win8x - just a different user interface.
There is no 'path of decommissioning' to Win7. Instead, you'd have to do is to boot from Win7 installation media and install it on top of Win8. This means that you will lose all existing applications, the parameters and the data of the user in the process.
NO, we do not keep or use the same license. Your PC came with HP OEM Win8 preinstalled, and that's what the license is for. To install Win7, you will need to buy it and then activate it by using the product key that you receive with the purchase. You can't buy this at HP, because he's not selling copies of Win7.
But what you CAN do is to check with the HP customer service and see if they will sell you HP to Win7 for your PC recovery media. It would cost much less go out and buy a copy of Win7 retail.
If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

Hello
You can buy a license of Windows 7 64-bit. Buy external DVD media.
You can find the HP Windows 7 64 bit drivers posted here.
This document will instruct you on how to disable the UEFI mode and the mode of inheritance.
Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media before attempting to change the BIOS settings and installing Windows 7.

HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p100dx downgrade from windows 7
Hi, Im Colt and I recently bought a HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p100dx and it came with windows 8.1 I use windows 7 at work and at present cannot install my Flash drive because of the way the drive is partioned to 8.1 will need drivers for windows 7 for this motherboard and chipset. And need to know how to get to startup command propt before entering Windows I think. Can someone please. Thanks in advance!
Hello
I just bought this laptop and downgraded it to win7.
1st thing you need to do is boot to the BIOS (f10)
In the bios, you must turn on then save (f10)
Start (f9) to the Startup menu.
Select (usb or dvd) boot device
Custom, install and remove all partitions
Then install win7
Too far than go to drivers, it took me a lot of research to find each other.
I now have a backup of all drivers if you need.
I am currently going through the process of making all the windows updates.
I'll post a link later when I get home for drivers
Win7 works a lot on this laptop.

Pavilion 20-b010 downgrade from Windows 7 support-side USB
I downgraded the Pavilion 20-b010 Windows 8 for Windows 7 64 bit pro and can not find the drivers for the USB 3.0 side ports. It seems that these only have drivers for Windows 8. Is it possible to get them to work, even in a level of USB 2.0 on Windows 7? the ven = 1022 (AMD), dev = 7812 (FCH XHCI USB). All other drivers seem to be installed and functional. DriverScan couldn't help. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

Portege Z930 - Downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7
Hi all
I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.
I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.
But later, I deleted all partitions on my HARD drive in order to have a primary partition where to install my old Win7.However I can't do!
Now I have 1 GB 119.1 unallocated space and there is no way to create a new partition from it.
Also when I try to install Win7 it says the disc's style GPT.I also tried to convert it from the command prompt, but it does not work.
You guys have any ideas what to do?
