Help... downgrade to windows 7 on my HP Envy 23-c059 all-in-One is a disaster!

Help please!

After a major effort (and another $ 110 for the Windows 7 product key) I finally managed to downgrade from Windows 8 to 7 on my PC (HP Envy 23 - c059 all-in-one). I thought that I had finally made until I realized that nothing worked. Not only I need drivers for all components, but I now have no way to install on my machine. As well the free wireless and Ethernet seem to be inadmissible, so I tried to use a USB flash drive, but it seems to be out of use as well.

I know that it is not suggested to do the downgrade in the first place, but I bought this machine for my kids to do their homework on, and since buying it almost 8 months ago, children just do not use it in frustration. I decided to take drastic measures, as I felt the $1 100 I have devoted to this subject has been wasted completely with it being unused.

Please tell me that I have not created a weight heavy and very expensive.

I thank in advance for any tips or advice, you can provide.

Your best option might be to order recovery media to get the machine to factory. You can order it in your list of drivers down HERE

If you are to meet the challenge of installing the drivers Win 7, I'd start with Chipset AMD here. He should get usb ports work. Maybe you can download and burn to a cd to make it on the AIO.

  • 8.1 Windows Pro update the problem (from Windows 8 Pro) on Envy 23 TouchSmart all-in-One...

    Hello

    I have a HP Envy 23 Touchsmart all-in-one that I bought a year ago (12/2012). It comes preinstalled with Windows 8.

    System information:

    (a) Intel (r) Core i7 - 3770 S CPU @ 3.10 GHz

    (b) 8192 MB of RAM

    A few weeks after that I had bought the system, I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center that I bought through Microsoft upgrade program.

    Last week (19/10/2013), I saw the option upgrade to Windows 8. 1 in the store and decided to upgrade.

    After a few minutes, I got a prompt asking me to restart the computer, and I did.

    However, I noticed that the screen has turned white, but it restarts not really - I have seen that the hard drive light was still flashing and I waited for about 15 minutes. I know it does not restart because if that were the case I would have seen the HP logo on the screen of the BIOS. A little later, the system entered into mode 'sleep' (at least the light blinked slowly as if it was the sleep). As it was late at night, I decided to leave the system alone and decided to check on it the next morning. The next morning, he was still in mode 'sleep' (as I feared) - when I tried to wake up from her sleep by moving the mouse/hit the return key, he did the exact sounds as if he were to wake up from its sleep (as it always does), but the screen is still blank. The light power button lit up constantly indicating he's awake now.

    At this point, I decided to turn off the system by holding the button for a few seconds. To restart, I saw the HP logo on the BIOS boot screen and the screen went white and nothing came.

    So I decided do a system recovery using my Windows 8 recovery CD and turn off the system with the CD in its niche. This time, the system came and began immediately to restore my OS to a previous version.

    After connecting to the system recovered, I received the following message:

    "Could not update for Windows 8.1.

    Sorry, we could not complete the update Windows 8.1. We have restored the previous version of Windows on this computer.

    0xC1900101 - 0 x 40019.

    I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 a couple of times after that. Once to disable all non-Microsoft services and disabling all startup programs. Always the same result.

    I have no antivirus software on my other system protection of Microsoft default system software.

    Any help, greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I have disabled active secure boot existing starter and the update worked.  Now we get the error of watermark "secure boot not configured correctly.  But I have re-enabled secure boot and the error disappeared.

  • Windows 7 drivers for HP Pavilion 20-b314 All in One

    I need help to find drivers Windows 7 for HP b314 20 Pavilion all in one pc, need to downgrade for a user who is not familiar with Windows 8 and must get to work as soon as possible because has no time to train...

    . Any ideas.

    Hello

    Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media doing anything.

    You will need to boot into the bios and disable secure boot, clear the quick start and enable the legacy mode. HP Secure Boot Windows 8 themes

    This model 20-b200a has similar drivers. The Cyberlink software won't be available.

    A possible I gotcha is that the video card may not work in legacy mode and Windows 7 will not work using the UEFI.

    Check with HP Support on warranty due to demotion issues.

  • No Windows 7 driver for the hp officejet 5510 all in one printer?

    Hi I have an old HP OFFICEJECT 5500 SERIES ALL-IN-ONE (the model is 5510).  I bought it for my original DELL XP in 2004.  He worked especially well when I transferred to my next OS from VISTA DELL (less some functions) but the impression was very good.  Now my new DELL XPS 15z Windows 7 operating system is unable to locate a driver for it.

    What does that mean?  It's such a great printer - that is to say not one disposable.  It will not work in this environment?   I looked everywhere for a driver (on my system and on the internet).  Windows said to contact the manufacturer.

    Thank you

    Hello

    .. .or is not possible, and it is best to think about to buy a new printer!

    I was wasting far too much time trying to set up many "good drivers" for this device and will never work ok

    My question is simple: "there is a device that works well with HP psc 1315 all-in-one Windows seven?

    Thanks in advance ;-)

    IF this is your printer/scanner - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4062&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=374568#N223 then there are drivers W7 32 and 64 bit available for this purpose.

    Everything on the PC concerned with your HP printer uninstall, restart the PC, then download and use the appropriate driver (W7 - 32 or 64 bit depending upon need) and see what happens then.

    Whatever it is, as its apparently supported, you're probably better asking HP if you did not already.
