  If you have the recovery disk, you will be able to put the computer laptop back to factory settings.
  This allows you to use 8 to win again.

• Control keys works do not, Win8 to Win7 downgrade. HP envy j011dx

  I have a HP Envy j011dx provided with Edition (64b9t) to the home page of Windows 8. I put in an SSD and improved RAM and installed Win 7 Pro(64bit). Everything is working great except control keys do not work.  When I hit the left ctrl key, I get [9 - and CTRL right, I get, l;]
  I have searched and tried a few different drivers looked at messages on the demotion to 7 and have not seen anything on this issue. I ran all the updates of windows and tried several different drivers. I put the old HD with W8, and it works if it is not a hardware problem. I looked at the origin of this post before doing the downgrade and it gave me the confidence to move forward with implementing Win7 on. I have until Friday to take this back to the store if I can't make it work. Any help would be appreciated. I also checked the region/language settings.

  I discovered what it was! Hallelujah! Good so I uninstalled and reinstalled Win7 Pro like 8 times. The driver IDT High - Definition (HD) is that he was causing.

  Finally, I noticed that when I hit the left CTRL mute volume was turn. Then when I hit the button Mute ctrl will work correctly. Mute on this subject would not work. Mute off it would work. I unsintalld the driver and re-installed several times to ensure that it is definitley the origin of the problem. Keys mute and volume were workign regardless if the driver has been installed. I was making reference to article http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Downgrade-HP-ENVY-15-j011dx-to-windows-7-need-help-finding/td-p/3768928 to get the rest of the drivers. WEIRD question but it is the IDT Audio, 1.0.6491.0 Version 6.10.6491 Rev: A SoftPaqNumber: SP4958 that was originally there. It's SP4958.exe. Whooo! It was a guy. I'm so happy that I found it. I like really a few Windows 7. Not looking navigation on Windows 8 and 8.1 at all!

• 2000-2c29W HP: downgrade HP 2000-2c29W of Win8 for Win7

  I know I need to reformat the hard drive before installing Win7.  What else do I need to know for an installation without problem on this model?

  Thank you.

  It seems that the disc while it is formatted in NTFS is still in GPT and MBR format.

  Have you also convert the disk to GPT on the MBR?

  You can use this free bootable tool that is supposed to be able to convert GPT on the MBR disks then you can format the MBR disk with the NTFS file system.

• Pavilion 17 e045sw: I need drivers for e045sw. Downgrade win8 > win7

  Hello.

  I got a HP Pavilion e045sw. I don't like windows 8, so I spent to Windows 7 (64-bit). I can't find the drivers for it. Can you help me?

  There is no information available online about what model of wireless card to your PC.

  Please do the following so I can understand that, and then I'll post the link to the wireless card driver you need.

  Go to Device Manager.  There should be a category of other devices containing a list of devices that need drivers under this category.

  The wireless card is labeled as a network controller.

  Click the network controller device, and then click the Details tab in the upper part of the window of network controller device.

  Now you should see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

  On this list and select the second element (Hardware ID).

• HP 15-g041AU: downgraded Win8.1 to Win7 and now need help to find the drivers

  I didn't like Windows 8.1 and demoted Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, all drives in the formatting process. Now, I don't have some drivers and I don't know which ones to download because there are like 2 identical types of drivers for everything on the page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-g000-notebook-pc-series/6545564/model/7234521

  I don't know if I'm supposed to provide the device ID or hardware ID so tell me please provide any ones.

  And also additional things that I think are related to drivers

  I compared these to my laptop which has fairly specific things written under these articles, so I'm assuming that they are to do with the right drivers? I just threw these here in the case where theres more underlying issues.

  Also how one I would go about installing these drivers because the USB ports do not work? The pilots put it on a CD?

  I'd appreciate any assistance because without them, my laptop is essentially unusable. Thank you very much.

• Portege Z930 - a few questions after decommissioning of Win8 for Win7

  Hello
  I recently bought Z930 PT234E with Win8 pre-installed. Due to the policy of the company, I needed this downgrade to Win7 Pro 32-Bit (deleted all partitions and creates a partition must usually be made). I downloaded all the drivers for the OS and installed. And it all started after that;

  Really thanks for reading and the comments / answers :)

  > 1 - I try to install TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager but returns with warning "before starting the implementation of TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager Client, copy an action for TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager Server header file to the folder of installation." and I only have the file and the installation will fail.

  This file is not known to me and usually something like that should not appear if install you the software in the correct order.
  Before you start to install the Toshiba software you need to install the Toshiba value added for Windows 7 package!

  Only if this PPV was installed and restarted laptop, you can follow with other tools.

  > 2 - you have hwsetup software preinstalled on Win8, but I couldn't find this sw / even Win8 to the download pages where Toshiba can get this sw fly because it gives the possibility to configure the BIOS without waiting for the start?

  Driver package system that is available to win 8 is NOT available for Win 7.
  Instead of system driver you have installed to VAP!

  Any comments? Option Charge & sleep, but also other options like the Wake Up LAN or keyboard may discharge the battery. So in case you n t want that, disable it in the BIOS

  > 4 - if I buy Toshiba online recovery support, this will help me to install Win8 as first boot and create the partitions deleted as in "factory condition".

• Intel HD Driver issues to the decommissioning of Win8 to Win7

  Hi guys,.

  I currently have a bunch of machines Pro3500MT HP that came preinstalled with Win8 on them, and after checking with HP, they stated that their compatibility to be downgraded to run on Win7.

  The installation works fine up until the point where Intel HD drivers are installed and this causes the pc to BSOD with IRQ isn't equal error. (I'll add the dump shortly files)

  Has anyone had this experience with these machines?

  Hello:

  I've seen situations on the other business office HP PC where this occurs when you install W7 (no SP1), and then try to install the drivers before the W7 SP1 update.

  If that's what you were doing, the solution is to install W7, update SP1 before you install all the drivers, and it should work.

  If this is not your situation, then I would try the video driver Intel HD directly from Intel.

• downgrade Win8 home for Win 7

  After a few months of sporadically trying to access a Microsoft Account or the store on my Dell Inspiron 660 without success (with some 1,000 others Win8 according to M.S. Articles), more its incompatibility with * all * of my external audio interfaces USB despite the driver updates, the time has come to downgrade to Win7 from Win8 preinstalled host.  I guess the software is the problem as long as the hardware works fine otherwise and everything will work in Win7.

  So, the issue will be any retail version of Windows 7, for example. at Amazon, being 100% compatible with this machine, or is there some stuff with the bios that would need fixing.  It's a Dell configured with Win7 version to buy.

  There is not a Dell of Windows 7 version to purchase.  Dell Windows 7 media differs from Microsoft media it activates automatically when it is installed on a Dell computer that is eligible, and it has some elements of customization (background/user images, logo support, etc.).

  A 'detail' key and the included media will be fine.

  You can find drivers Windows 7 x 64 for the 660 here:

• Satellite L875D: USB 3.0 ports do not work after decommissioning of Win8 for Win7

  Hello

  I got my OS of Win8 OEM for Win 7 Home Premium because Win8 is just not for me... Its a legal version of Win7 with a product key, storebought...

  The laptop is a Satellite L875D-10N, which I bought in September 13.

  Installation went well, except that 2 3 ports USB 3.0 no longer works.
  I can stil fresh my phone or other devices, but the laptop is not "see". Also, USB drives and other storage devices are not recognized.

  In the Device Manager the ar two ports under "other devices" and no driver is installed for them.
  I tried in different ways to find and install a driver, but it never works.

  Can someone help me with this? I would be very much greatfull!

  > In Device Manager, the two ports are listed in the "other devices" section and no driver is installed for them.

  Indeed the USB issue seems to be related to the missing drivers.

  You must install this driver USB 3.0:

  In addition, you will need to make sure that this chipset driver has been installed too.
  The laptop supports the graphics chip ATI and AMD chipset. The chipset driver is the driver of ATI graphics card and this is why you must make sure that this driver would be installed too.
