  What double downgrade you mean exactly? I never heard of something like that

• 14 - d056tu laptop HP: Downgrade to Windows 7

  I bought HP 14-d056tu Notebook PC a few months back, I'm not comfortable with windows 8.1, so I want it downgrade to Windows 7. The more sad about this is, I bought this laptop based Thailand on a site online in India and now moved to Australia. can anyone help me please with the decommissioning process.

  Hi Vishal,

  I would like to start by saying Downgrade to Windows 7 would not be a good option, because once you switch to Windows 7, find the drivers for Windows 7 will be a huge and difficult task as this laptop goes with 8.1 Windows only.

  And Windows 8.1 is a very good and secure OS. To remedy this I suggest you to install software that will host the feel of Windows 7.

  See the link below to install classic Shell software:

  the classic interface software

  Note: It is a third-party site so if your not comfortable using or by downloading the software from this site, then please do not continue.

• Satellite C850D - Downgrade from Windows 8

  I have a Satellite C850D, which was shipped with Windows 8. I want this downgrade to Windows 7. I have a Windows 7 DVD, but when I try and install it I get is an error message indicating that there is an error with one of the startup files.

  Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a computer that came with Windows 8, and how to remove the OEM of Windows 8 version and replace it with Windows 7.

  Any help/advice would be appreciated.

  Sean

  Hi Sean

  Yes, it is possible to install Windows 7 and other systems. But this requires some changes in the BIOS.
  You must disable secure boot and go the CSM UEFI.
  As far as I know after changing two options, you should be able to boot from the Windows disc.

• Downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows Vista

  Hello

  I want to ask something about the downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows Vista Edition Home Premium!

  My laptop is Satellite L510. When I bought it, it came with Windows Vista Home Premium as its OS so I already created a recovery disk.
  Now, if I update to Windows 7 and if I want to downgrade to window Vista... often I just use this recovery disc to format to Windows Vista everything as before?

  Because they do not have the Windows Vista installation disk when I bought this laptop.
  And I want to ask now the window Vista already got a healthy recovery partition in my right HDdrive? If I update to Windows 7 then did the Window Vista healthy recovery partition is still there, or only the restore disc that I create before you reformat Windows Vista Home Premium box?

  Thanks to all who try to answer my question!

  All new laptops are shipped without DVD upgraders and everyone must create one. This is why Toshiba has designed small Creator called Toshiba Recovery tool. With this tool you can create recovery DVDs and use them for the installation of the OS more far.

  Whenever when you use, you'll have to factory settings and it will be like on the first day when launch you for the first time.

  When you have this recovery media, you can do whatever you want and, of course, install Win7 with HARD drive. One day, when you want to have Vista again just use created recovery DVD and you will have factory again.

  When you bought your laptop recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDRecovery. This image can be used to install Vista with the factory only settings. When you install Win7 these files can no longer be used and Vista must be installed from recovery created DVDs.

  All questions answered?

• Satellite C875-153 - downgrade from Windows 7

  I have a toshiba c875-153 and I can't downgrade to windows 7
  my computer has been using windows 8, but after updating winodws it crashed, so I installed windows 8 again, but it always crash with windows update, so I decided to downgrade in windows 7

  I went into the BIOS and I disable starting secure but cannot install windows 7 so I used the bios MSC instead of UEFI but the display closed. If I turn again in the UEFI again the screen turn on! I use the last BIOS 6.8

  can someone help me?
  Thank you

  I checked the - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp - Toshiba download page first to see if your machine is supported for Win7. Yes. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded.

  Generally installation Win7 should not be so problematic. Are you using the original installation disk Microsoft Win7?
  To be honest I don't understand what is happening with your machine and the BIOS.

  You find useful instructions on changing mode BIOS - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

  What happen exactly when you change the boot mode? Can start Windows installation?

• Downgrade from Windows 10 in order ot activate the product key

  I tried to update to Windows 10 on my new T450s. However, I made this from a USB key, I used on my other computers. So I wiped the passage of Windows 7 to the reader directly, without the activation key for product to be upgraded. My problem now is either setting so I can activate Windows 10 or demote. I tried both without success. I can't get the part of Lenovo Recovery from my hard drive I downgrade to Windows 7 or 8.1. I can not press F11, I can't go up to him and I can't run any software from Lenovo or to access in Windows 10. I would really appreciate some help and suggestions! Thank you

• HP 15-f009ca: can not find the drivers for my PC after downgrading to Windows 7

  Hello world!
  A few weeks ago, I bought a Hp laptop of type 15-f009ca. Because I didn't like windows 8, I downgraded to Windows 7. The installation was successful, but I could not find the driver for my PC wireless LAN.
  Anyone know where I can download it?
  Or is it still possible to find the driver windows 7 for this guy?

  Hello:

  You should be able to use most of the W7 x 64 drivers and software from the HP 255 G2 on your model except the BIOS and firmware files.

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/readIndex?sp4ts.Oid=6431940&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4063

  Your laptop is the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bg / n 1 x 1 WiFi adapter, this is how the wireless driver you need.

  In addition, you need these drivers usb3.  Install both and restart.

• Updated T430s to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro wanting to downgrade to Windows 7 (without Windows.old)

  Lenovo T430s 2355A 16

  Here's my problem.

  Preinstall Windows 7-> Recovery media creadted-> upgraded to Windows 8-> Windows.old folder have been deleted-> trying to downgrade to Windows 7 using Recovery-> failed to retrieve media!

  Are there other ways that I could go back to Windows 7? All I have is the engraved on DVD recovery media.

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  As you mention that you created the recovery media and it fails to restore your system with Win7 preload delivered, I would recommend that you contact the Service, let them know that your created set failed to work and ask that they provide you with a set of factory recovery DVDs. The details are below.

  Hope that helps you get things sorted.

• Pavilion laptop laptop 15-ab158nb: downgrade from windows 10 for windows 7

  Hello, I bought a laptop for computer laptop 15-ab158nb with 10 windows installed

  I like windows7 more (I'm used to) and you want to downgrade to windows 7

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

  -that someone tried this with success

  Thank you

  Rudi

  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.
