How can I remove windows 8 which was preinstalled on the new laptop.

Just bought Pavilion g6 with 8 widows pre-installed.

What I want to do is it erase and install Windows 7.

I tried several different approaches, but nothing works... Help!

OK thanks for the info.
I have a full license for W7. ... but if the drivers are the issue, I guess I'll have to grin and bear it for now.

    Thank you.

    If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

    Your product key for Windows 7 Professional should have been sent to your email address if you bought it on the Microsoft Store.

    Find your key product if your purchase of Microsoft Store:
    http://store.Microsoft.com/Help/FAQ?Err=T2#AT2

    If you have Windows 7 Professional installed, you can retrieve the key now:

    Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:
    Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
    (He did a good job of providing a wealth of information.)

    Also: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
    and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
    and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features.

    There is no Express of Home Basic Upgrade to the professional, so you have bought a license for sale at retail.

    Because it has been previously installed, you may need to reactivate by phone:

    Activate Windows 7 manually:
    1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

    2. press enter on your keyboard

    3. Select your country.
    4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

  • How can I put ONLY 9 tabs, NO 15, on the new tab Page?

    How can I put ONLY 9 tabs, NO 15, on the new tab Page?
    (First OFF... Please do not read this as being written by an angry person.) I'm just frustrated with the browser that I liked for years. I hope someone can help me)
    For a long time, I had my Firefox (version 33.0.2 - even if I don't remember getting mentions "update") defined so that every time I clicked on the tab new symbol '+' to create a new tab (which has the "new tab Page" on that), the NINE inch nails would be shown for my SELECTION and PIN sites. I LOVED!
    Yesterday, I opened Firefox and NOW when I click on the '+' to open the new tab Page... FIFTEEN thumbnails appear, 5wide x 3down, (and to be honest I probably would have the habit of 15! ha).
    Here's the PROBLEM: NONE of the thumbnails are "compressed". They ALL have "liberated" up yellow icon to the left and clicking on does nothing to remedy this of course. Other that THAT, everything else behaves normally. (that is to say moving the thumbnails, deleting, swap... I just can't pin THEM!)
    FINALLY, I prefer my 9-repositionable decals on the new tab Page.
    I went through ALL the options on the side, upside down and backwards, and I just get more frustrated.
    Can someone help me?

    2. Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
    3. Search for browser.newtabpage.columns and change it to 3, or however many columns you like
