• Pavilion office 550-154na: Windows 10 & Lock screen customization

  Hello

  I have a brand new out of the box PC 64-bit HP Pavilion Windows Desktop 10. I learn the tricks of the trade for Windows 10 and, above all, everything goes smoothly.
  
  However, I am struck a problem when customizing the Windows lock screen where Cortana, help and research-online help don't prove useful.
  
  My problem: I can't get the lock screen shows that I'm here. (Perhaps my expectation does not?)
  
  I know that to go to start - settings - customization - lock screen.
  
  In this screen, I chose:
  
  . "Windows features" as my lock screen image.
  . "Mail" to "choose application display detailed status.
  . "Weather" 'calendar' 'Bank' and 'Messages' to 'Apps to choose to display Quick status ".
  
  'Display the background image Windows on the login screen' is to 'Off' (I don't think this is related to my question).

  I restarted.
  
  When the lock screen comes into play, I see a Spot image as well as the date and the current time. The Spotlight image never changes. I don't see anything more. There no indication in the corner bottom right of my screen for mail, weather, calendar, store or messaging applications although each application is permanently enabled and working.
  
  My expectation: when the inside lock screen shots should show current spot image, time / date, some details of the Inbox, local weather conditions (location is enabled), calendar, some info about the Store and info some info e-mail.
  
  I'm still at the experimental stage in an attempt to solve this problem. In the meantime...
  
  1. is my correct expectation? Am I missing something?
  
  2. do I need to already have the Email applications, weather, store and open mail?
  
  3. is there a link between the lock screen and the screen time-out settings? Or are these two elements absolutely nothing to do with?
  
  4. lock screen coup in like a screen saver? How long should it take to kick lock screen? What is available to customize or fixed?
  
  I could on the road to a dead end. I do not know!

  I thank you for reading my post and for any assistance you can give.
  
  Kind regards

  Hello @johndoc,

  Thanks for the quick response!

  If you are having problems with the HP Support Assistant, try to review the following document:

  HP PC - troubleshooting HP Support Assistant (Windows, 10, 8)

  If you still have problems, then you can use the link I provided in my original post, to download the BIOS driver, directly from the HP site.

  I hope this helps.

• EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

  My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

  Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

  OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

  But don't be surprised if it does not work with the version of Win10 that you have installed.

  HP Elitebook 840 G3.

  Try to Bilocker the laptop with the key on a USB key. When you select the option to audit fails.

  Crypt unselecting them the option of checking and the laptop, the key file is written on the memory stick and the AD file is updated with the details of the encryption and a recovery key.

  When the computer is restarted it is not the USB memory with file encryption key. The only way is to capture the 48-digit recovery key.

  I tried several different memory sticks without success.

  I tried two USB slots without success.

  I've upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS without success.

  I upgarded Firmware and Chipset Drivers successfully.

  Help, please.

  Hi all

  My colleague (thank you Michael G) and I found the solution.

  There are two options:

  1. in the BIOS - Advanced settings / Boot options uncheck the quick start option.

  OR

  2. in the BIOS - Advanced settings / Boot options set a delay of 5 seconds.

  We believe that the fastboot option does not give the USB subsystem enough time to initialize.

  Perhaps this could be fed to the people who created this system?

• EliteBook 840 G2: Elitebook after Windows 10 Upgrade keys does not

  Hi on board,

  I'm a 840 Elitebook brand new last week with Win7 and directly upgraded to Win10 64-bit yesterday. It works although until now unless there is a big thing, some keys (FN + F9 for example) are not executed. You know, those little keys most of us use a lot to adjust the brightness or volume.

  In my case, there is the problem with FN + F8, F9 and F10 (off mic, down screen brightness and the brightness of the screen to the top). Other keys work fine (for example, volume).

  Someone at - it a specific link to a Win10 driver for this problem. I was looking on the half-hour but can't find anything (especially not the solution for Win8 proposed with the hot key driver). It might be my problem due to the fact that I'm not used to the new page from HP.

  Any help is appreciated a lot,

• HP Elitebook 840 G1: HP Elitebook 840 G1

  I'm almost done with this thing.

  I bought this HP EliteBook 840 G1 offshore from a friend who really takes care of his business. The laptop is dust free and looks just out the box. It is originally with Windows 7, but I decided to upgrade to Windows 10 because he was free and promised many new features. Everything was ok with the occasional bug (audio does not, fingerprint reader not to read), but a simple reboot usually covered the problem. Yesterday, I got set up a complicated Movie Maker project and type 2 separate school trials when the indicator wifi on the Elitebook turned orange and wouldn't connect to the wifi. I have saved my work and restarted my computer to find "error 3F0 - please install an operating system on your hard drive. So I had to wipe the drive, install Linux Ubuntu, and here I am with several weeks of work lost and an unpredictable old 2 year for laptop. Extensive BIOS tests show the hard drive and memory have "PAST".

  I'll assume it of Windows 10 because the cell phone was fully functional on Windows 7 and works great on Linux Ubuntu 16.06. The reason why I write this is because I don't have Windows 7 to install on the device. I have the product key original on the bottom of the computer, but on the official Windows 7 download page software, he told me to contact HP support.

  Any help with a .iso Windows 7 Professional x 64 link would be amazing. Again, I have my own product key and I can use Rufus to make it bootable from my USB. Thank you.

  Hello:

  Microsoft has pulled all the links legal download of files Vista and W7 ISO unless you have a valid product key commercial complete to enter this Web site.

  The product key on the bottom of your laptop is an OEM key, not a retail one.

  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number to order a set of W7 Pro x 64 recovery disc.

  Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

  1-800-334-5144

  A set is expected to cost about $10 shipped by first class mail.

• HP Elitebook 840: Can how SSD I use to replace my current HARD drive?

  My HARD drive is starting to become a little slow and I want to move to an SSD. I borrowed an empty SSD with a friend to test the speed, but it does not appear in the BIOS. It is a standard Samsung SSD that should work. Is there a problem with my computer or it's compatibility with the SSDbrand or the type problems?

  I am also looking in the upgrade from 8 GB to 16 GB of ram, can someone connect 1 stick of 8 GB of RAM that is compatible with my computer without having to replace the current 8 GB key.

  SSD, I used: Samsung SSD 840 PRO 128 GB (model number: Z-7PD128)

  Hey there!

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  Try a few steps recommended below.

  A. Click Start in the search box type CMD.

  Right click on command prompt and select run as administrator

  Run diskpart utility by typing diskpart in the command prompt window and press "Enter."

  Find your USB drive disk number by typing disk list. We assume that the USB drive is 1.

  Run the following commands:

  Select disk 1

  clean

  create the primary partition

  Select partition 1

  assets

  format fs = NTFS

  Assign

  output

  Now, we have prepared a USB drive. Let's make it bootable:

  Insert the 32/64-bit installation disk in the Windows 7 DVD drive. Assume that it is D

  Go to D:\boot (cd d:\boot)

  If your USB drive letter is "e" Please run bootsect/nt60 e:

  Copy Windows 7 DVD multimedia content in root USB (etc. do not put in any folder) folder

  You are now ready to install Windows 7 from a USB key!

  B. you said that you are unable to boot from a flash drive on 840 G2.

  Turn on your computer, keep tapping key F10.

  You will start in the BIOS change the inheritance of secure boot startup option.

  Save the changes and exit the BIOS.

  You should be able to boot from the flash player now.

  Let me know how it goes!

  Have a great day!

• EliteBook 840: unable to boot from usb flash

  Hello:

  I'm tempted to boot from USB drive to install a new version of Windows 7. When I press F9, I have only two startup options:

  -Computer portable hard drive

  -Computer laptop Ethernet

  The USB boot option do not appear.

  My BIOS Version is: 01.04 worm. M71 (24/02/2015)

  Note: I tested my USB key installation in the other laptop and it works very well.

  Thank you for your support.

  Yes, I know Rufus. How I said, I tried my USB in another laptop (a HP ENVY m4 laptop) and work very well. The difference is that the HP ENVY gave me the option to boot from USB and the EliteBook does not.

  I realized that, since the post, you did.

  I suggested RUFUS and EFI create setup of windows due to the startup problem, that you have with the Elitebook 840.

  It may be just what you need for this particular laptop.

  If you want this to work, then you must be flexible and willing to solve the problems.

• HP Elite Book 840 g1: change the RAID on AHCI on Elitebook 840 g 1

  I have an Elite book 840 g1. I'm changing to AHCI RAID and cannot get it done. I tried everything on the web regarding the registry settings and changes to the bios. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

  Solution to change RAID AHCI on an HP EliteBook 840g 1

  My EliteBook 840 g 1 does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I put my software available on a USB stick and this worked great.

  1. back up your PC or important documents.

  2 put the software available on CD/DVD or USB depending on one you plan to use.

  3. close all programs and restart your PC.

  -C' is where it gets difficult.

  4. enter in the Bios by pressing the ESC key

  5. make sure you change your boot order / put USB or CD/DVD first in order - depending on what you are going to use

  6. once in the BIOS go to the 'Advanced tab' and then 'Device Configurations '.

  7. go to RAID/AHCI and switch to AHCI

  8 save the settings and exit.

  -C' is where it gets trickier.

  9. THIS CRITICISM IS - after save and exit the BIOS of the PC will start start - don't let it throw - back in the BIOS before it starts

  10. once in the BIOS, go to the boot options and select the option that you put your software available.

  11. now booting from USB or CD/DVD, you have your software available on

  12. your PC will now go through the re-imaging process and when it's done, you'll be in AHCI.

  13. you can check by going to "Device Manager" > double-click on ' controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI "and below you see"Intel 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller '.

  14. He verifies that you are in AHCI

  15 take advantage of the improved performance

  The extent of the change RAID on AHCI by using registry settings I couldn't get it work. I changed the starting value of several channels (msahci, istorA, istorV, etc.) and couldn't make the change happen. From my experience, I had to reimage my PC for that change to AHCI RAID. If someone has a proven solution, changing to AHCI RAID in registry settings without having to do a reimage would be what they please report them.  Thank you and I hope that all this information is useful.

• EliteBook 840 D1F44AV: Legal re-installation of Windows / COA

  Hello

  Having a sticker of COA that reads HP Windows 7 Pro OA to the back of the laptop means that the laptop comes with legal pre-installed Windows, if so can I use any windows media to reinstall as long as it's the same version, or should I use a HP recovery DVDs? that is important if the Windows I'm trying to install is 32-bit or 64-bit? I ask because I have an Elitebook 840 that has what I think a windows no legitimate Pro 7 32bits and there is no recovery partition.

  Thank you

  b_read

  The presence of a Win7 COA sticker means that the PC has been preinstalled at the factory with a version of Win7 OEM HP.

  You cannot use any version of Win7 to replace that, because only an OEM version will activate using the product key that came with your PC.

  IF you are using an OEM HP's version, it will activate, but HP is more for older PC Win7 recovery media.  Instead, you must check this site to see if they still carry the media for your PC: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  From the point of view of activation, it doesn't matter if it's 32-bit or 64-bit, because they use the same product key, but if you are installing a different version, you may not be able to find the HP drivers for it, as HP mainly provides 64-bit computers.

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 - message "your computer is locked.

  First of all, I am a novice.

  Secondly, I have a message on my main screen after opening which reads "Your computer is locked" and I can't do anything with it. I have stopped with the help of the key, closed the lid, control Alt Delete, did all the usual things, but this screen remains! I am running Vista Home Premium. Any advice would be magical.
  Thanks in advance,
  JayneM

  Go into Windows and check the power settings in the Control Panel, it can be programmed to lock the screen or enter mode sleep when you close the lid.

  If there is a bad driver or software installed, it may cause problems with sleep mode.
