• Microsoft Windows 8 PRO Downgrade to Windows 7 PRO

  Greetings,

  This post is more than a complaint about Microsoft INABILITY to support its biggest business customers, in the hope that someone at Microsoft will really help me, instead of giving me the evasive that was given to me for the last 3 days...

  I bought 100 Dell Vostro MT270 i3 Machines. All came with pre-installed Windows 8 PRO...

  We have problems with Internet Explorer 9 and above with our Cloud National environment in which Microsoft Axapta 2012 runs.

  Over the 3 days I tried to get in on the good service in Microsoft ranks to eventually get the product key of Windows 7 PRO for these OEM installed machines. I even offered to provide supporting documents (invoices and delivery as proof of my purchase slips)

  Every department I got through where was forwarded to, listened to my story and informed me that I needed to talk to another Department.

  Finally, this afternoon I decided to call Microsoft States in the hope of some kind of miracle... Instead, I lost 40 minutes of international calls from South Africa to be told that I had to talk to the Department of volume licensing for OEM pre-installed Machines?

  Finally, after that be go asked me for our partner number or software assurance.

  Unfortunately for me, our group Enterprise Architect was not available to give me this info. Furthermore, I was not ready to waste any more time or money on call international USA.

  I read on the Net that to downgrade from Windows 8 PRO to Windows 7 PRO I need my own media (check), and a Windows 7 product key to complete install (check).

  The problem here is I can't use a product key Windows 7 PRO currently in use on a work machine, and I have certainly not 100 old Windows 7 PRO Machines...

  All I need is that Microsoft provide me 100 license keys for this downgrade or a unique product key I can activate 100 times.

  It's really not that complicated a situation, however everyone I talked to has made it seem like they must move heaven and Earth to assist me.

  This isn't how you support your customers Microsoft!

  If there is someone who can help me with my problem please reply...

• Windows 7 Pro non-authentique after downgrade from Windows 10 Pro full.

  So I've upgraded to Windows Pro 10 for a full version of Windows 7 Pro. I've stuck with 10 windows for a few days and decided to downgrade. After he was done, Windows came with a message saying that I could be a victim of "Windows 7 Pro not being authentic" or something like that. He says I have 'Build' 7601. The computer I bought came with a key, but it's a full version when I got although it came with a recovery disk. Is there a way to fix this?

• Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of Windows XP pro 32 bit

  Hello

  I have a desktop running windows 7 pro 64-bit, but need to switch to windows XP pro 32-bit as I has an electronic Development Council which is not easily compatible with this version.  I understand from licensing that as I Pro I would be entitled to downgrade, this applies to the downgrading to 32-bit as well.  If it's ok where can I download some ISO Windows XP pro 32 course and it's just a case of putting my windows 7 inside product key?

  Hello

  Until you, ensure that you will have drivers for your hardware + devices on x 86 XP. If this isn't the case, I wouldn't do the downgrade you will have many problems.

  Did you first try to run the program in compatibility?

  Kind regards

• Downgrade to Windows XP Pro Sp2, x 86 Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  I tried, but I have not simply can't work with Windows Vista. I have to downgrade to Windows XP.

  I have a new laptop HP HDX X18t with a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz processor (with the last correspondent chipset Intel?)
  4 GB ram ddr3
  Hewlett-Packard Bios F.20, 05/01/2008
  SM Bios version 2.4
  Hardware Abstraction Layer version = "6.0.6002.18005".

  It has the configuration of the hard drive dual option factory. I have removed the C: plant and it will save way later. I then moved
  the 2nd hard drive to the place where the used to be C:. Set startup to boot from the dvd drive for a cool XP with sp2 install.
  This laptop keeps me to install Windows XP, XP sp2, XP with sp3, XP even with Vista Theme.
  I have the factory supplied Vista Home Premium 64-bit dvd disc, and Yes, this will install flawlessly from start to finish
  without ANY problem at all. Hard drives are sata2. I tried to install XP with versions with special sata drivers
  included in the installation cd. No go. Even made several versions of XP sp2 with "simplified" in sata drivers
  the installation cd. Same thing. No go. (no go = blue screen of death)

  Here is the error message (blue screen of death) which continues to appear on all attempts of my XP installs.

  If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,

• Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro - need my Lic Key

  Help

  I bought an Omni27 about a year ago and its been ok except for the Windows8 OS. It is not practical on a desktop for me.

  My problem is the following:

  I need my license key Professional Windows8 for current installation to Microsoft which has a program to give you a key Win7 Pro in Exchange if you HATE Windows8. WHERE IS THE KEY!

  Here's what I did:

  (1) MS said to call for the cause of the seller, they have a record of the unit being the OEM installation

  (2) I called HP support and they said that they do not support the downgrades. I explained everything and with an Indian accent, I was told tursely that they do not support the downgrades. I explained once again, I ask you to help me downgrade, I want just the key to lic or know where it is anywhere on the PC. They are like drones idot... Nothing

  So I decided to start in win8 one last time, MS to enter the system remotely, and the fish on my lic key then send me the new KEY. I hope this works.

  If anyone has a better way to address the issue made me know. I put in a new HD and install Win7 clean and keep my old drive to migrate data to.

  The computer was delivered without much documentation. Unlike my Dell PC that come with stickers for the OS and other DVD media with docs, HP was skinny to almost zero!

  Hello

  The key is in the BIOS. The following tool will help:

• DownGrade Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on 4540 s HP Probook Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  Hello

  can someone tell me the correct procedure to downgrade pre-installed 64-bit Windows 8 Pro that came on my laptop 4540 s newly purchased to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? Machine itsself comes not with any media. I also read the key is now also integrated into the BIOS. As I intend to replace the 500 GB HDD with a SSD 250 GB, I would like to re - install windows 7 at the same time. I know that you can download the vanilla windows versions 7 of m6mobile.fr and others and then install but I wanted to know if there was a formal process for HP machines. It would be also good to know that the process of extraction of the COA, so I can activate Windows 7 installation completed.

  I am based in the United Kingdom (and an employee of HP)

  (it seems I'm not the only one having this problem - I guess this method works http://www.pcworld.com/article/2015107/downgrading-from-windows-8-to-7-what-you-need-to-know.html?pa... )

  but before could someone confirm that part "call microsoft" will be ok for me if I have no physical cost... also what can I do if I have not a pro windows 7 product key to enter during the installation of windows 7 - because obviously I intend to use the rights to downgrade to windows 8 pro key!).

  advice appreciated.

  Ad.

  Ok...

  so having figured out that I can downgrade sounding MS I took the lead and mounted my new SSD drive and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Everything is good. What I need now is some of the correct drivers to get me going.

  If someone could point me to the right for the following, I'd be grateful so I don't waste time to download everything. My version is HP Probook 4540 s C4Y79EA (i5-3210/4 GB RAM/15.6 inches) model British.

  Some of the choices pilot have several versions of pointers to good enjoyed.

  It is mainly in the field of the network drivers for the Wifi and fixed ports.

  Thank you.

  I determined what hardware is in this model.

  WIFI/Bluetooth - download drivers Ralink

  Ethernet card integrated - download the Realtek drivers.

  The rest should be pretty straigtforward...

  Cheers.

• Windows 7 Pro downgrade to home edition

  I really wish can I downgrad my Windows 7 Pro to the edition of hospitality, every step of the way, it gives me headaches with Access Denied, so much time and so frustrating, is that this conversion is possible anyway? Considering the hours I need to clean the registry from a program that could not be uninstalled manually, except sometimes it won't let me even delete entries and you can understand my frustration with this Pro edition.

  Decommissioning will not solve the problem. You must resolve all that is initially denied access issues now.

  Reset the security permissions:

  One option is to reset your default security permissions by running the following command:

  secedit/configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf/db defltbase.sdb / verbose

  For more information, you can see KB 313222.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/313222

  Also be aware of the following:

  «.. . command line is no longer able to reset all default security settings and can even result in the operating system becomes unstable. »

  If this does not resolve the problem, your installation can be irreparably and the only other option is to reinstall them all. As you may know, there is a recovery disk. If it has not been provided, you will need to contact your employer who sold you the computer.

  If you want to downgrade the security permissions, please see the following:
