Got a new laptop, has win8.1. I am able to go down to win7?
Hey thanks for the research. I just got a HP Envy 17-j184nr. It comes with Windows 8.1. Nice series. But I perfer Windows 7 plus 8/8.1. I am able to go down? I know on another hp computer in my house (among the less expensive, under $400) you can not. I also had a new ssd to go with it. Maybe I could clone my hard drive of Windows 7 instead of 8.1 hdd?
Thank you
Shane
If you still want to install Windows 7 64-bit on your laptop of HP ENVY 17-j184nr, please read the following:
WARNING *.
HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.
Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.
Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.
The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.
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 will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.
If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.
In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".
I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.
From the top...
Download f6flpy-x 64.zip, extract the files/folders and place it on a USB Flash drive.
(1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".
(2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".
3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.
4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"
5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".
(6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".
(7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.
(8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".
(9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.
(10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".
11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".
(12) you may need to provide Intel SATA/RAID drivers at the moment... Insert the USB Flash drive with drivers Intel SATA\RAID previously extracted.
(13) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.
Most of the 64 - bit drivers Windows 7 from the HP ENVY 17-j184nr laptop drivers page should work on your computer. Please message the Windows Device Manager (text only) "Hardware ID" of all remaining missing or unknown devices, as shown in the example below.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I could be wrong, but I do not think that you used to use Adobe Reader. I think you used to use Adobe Digital Editions software instead - a separate app.

new laptop has no function of cd, how do I install acrobat 7.0
My new laptop has no function of cd to insert me installation disk, how to install acrobat 7 with just a serial number?
The "activation server" Adobe, which allow you to install and use, was turned off years. You cannot use your CD in all cases. (Although it is external plugin CDs are cheap, easy to use and almost essential).
There is a special Acrobat 7 download for users dismissed (with the new series)... but it won't work on existing systems. Unless you have Windows Vista, 32-bit, and the more you will probably need to purchase Acrobat again. (No upgrade more, sad to say).

Laptop HP 17-x025na: my new laptop has memory locations two or one?
Hello
I recently received my new laptop that comes with a single stick of 8 GB of SK Hynix 2133 MHz memory.
Although I don't have an immediate need, in the past, I always looked to see what an update would cost by downloading and running, say, the Crucial scanner. However, it is not displayed if there is an upgrade. It is not clear if the laptop comes with memory slots two or one.
If someone can advise, it would be great, and if someone has updated to add another 8Gb, it was easy? I want to especially take my new machine apart as much as it seems I have to take several bits for the memory unlike my laptops more alumni who were the subject of a single panel.
Thank you very much
You are the very welcome.
Yes, I'm also surprised that the Crucial Scanner does not recount this info.
I compressed upward and set free material utility Info below.
Unzip and run the file and it will let know you all the info on your PC.
On the right side of the main window of the page, there is a section of memory Modules.
Drop down on it and it should show you the slots populated.
Then then closing this window, on the left side of the window, there is a section of memory which should also show the machines and the memory slot.
You should be able to go to the Crucial site and manually find the memory you need by filling out the PC info.

Ethernet doesn't work is not on the new laptop of Win8.
Just bought a new laptop to run a FullSpectrum LAser cutting machine. I was running the laser with my 4gig RAM Dell Latitude E5400. It worked perfectly. Connected to the internet with my rounter wireless home and connected to the laser with short Ethernet cable. I needed one more big computer RAM won the Dell Inspiron 15 of WIn8. Redownloaded the pilot controller/Laser but the computer cannot connect to the laser. When I ping IP laser, the laptop can not see. In the section networking and sharing/change the adapter settings, ther is a big red X next to the Ethernet icon. Help, please!
Hi Ruth. Thanks for the help. I had the problem solved. In this case, if I disable the Wifi connection to the Internet, my computer connects to my laser properly cutting machine via the Ethernet port perfectly. I can then turn on wifi and the laser and the internet connection are functioning properly. Thanks again for the help online

Got a new iPhone, has new things with it, like my old stuff.
I got a new iPhone (old) because my last was lost in an unfortunate event. I have photos taken and sent texts with her and want to keep them, but I also want the old stuff from the iPhone I used on it from my backup. Is this possible?
You can import the photos to the computer to save, but if you restore the new phone to backup old phone, you will lose your messages. Backup restore deletes all phone and it brings back to the date and time of the backup. After the restoration, you can synchronize the photos you took on the phone with iTunes.
