  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows XP.

• Want to 360 x (15-u011dx): try to downgrade to Win7 Pro

  Has anyone got this laptop particular smoothly after downgrading from Win 7?  After you change all the BIOS settings recommended and created a bootable Win7 USB Installer, I * finally * got the software based there.  I finally had to destroy any single partition on the hard drive, including recoveries of the factory to do but I don't care too much as I had no intention of returning to Win8.

  Now, I'll have a whale of a time finding the proper drivers.  Priority 1 is network / wireless network & I swapped a specific message to this Council.  All I can find on the site of HP essentially says "this laptop is optimized for Win8 you watered if you want to do something different."

  Please put my mind at ease, I have an achievable goal in front of me without TOO much trouble.  Thank you!

  I see no reason why you can't run W7 x 64 on this platform.

  I ordered, from hp store-still in production, a HP Pavilion - 27qe touchscreen all-in-one.  There are 10 Windows.  I would come down to Win7 Pro 64-bit (I can buy a legal copy of win7 and do a clean install).  I understand that I would lose some features like the touch screen, but I really prefer Win7.  I'm looking for info on how to do this?  For example, where to find the proper drivers (determine which and where to download to), BIOS etc.  Drivers listed on hp for this computer are for Win10 only, there is no Win7 drivers listed.  Of course I'd first recovery disks Win10, where I always want to go to the Win10 or if Win7 is not working properly.

  Any info/help appreciated.  My wife and I share one our computer at home with Win7 on it.  Me, my wife and probably would be better to use Win7 we are used and as.

• Devices Satellite Pro L300D-110 - downgrading to XP Pro - HARD drive missing?

  Hello to everyone in the Toshibe Satellite Pro - my first post forum.

  I was one proud owner of other portable Tosh without any problem, but this time, I'm miserable: (o)

  For professional use a few days ago, we bought a laptop Satellite Pro L300D 110 (AMD Athlon Dual Core). We bought it with the understanding that it could be brought back to XP Pro - mainly because some of the software that we use on a daily basis does not work reliably on Vista, but also because all other laptops to desktop computers in our network (including a WLAN) all running XP Pro, adding another machine that it should have been easy.

  The need to do so has been confirmed by the fact, nevertheless, I tried, we could just not get the new Toshiba L300D connection through our routers so that under Vista. At the same time, we also bought a new Dell with no o/s. I installed a new copy of XP Pro SP2 OEM - and it runs under the sweet as a nut! Sorry, I digress:

  I reduced the L300D to XP Pro very well using the XP Pro provided - Toshiba Recovery disk no problem at all. I had the computer connected to the network too, but then I realized that the DVD (Pioneer DVD - RW DVRTD08A ATA) is not found by Windows.

  Logged in the BIOS setup - Yes, he was listed there OK, but tried some tongs and tricks I have learned over the years, I still couldn't XP Pro to the discovery of the device.

  I have now reinstalled Vista on the machine and he found the DVD burner.

  If it's a PC, I shut down the computer, open the case, disconnect the writer, start, stop, reconnect the device, close case and bingo. But not with perhaps a laptop...

  Someone has ideas how (reliable!) downgrade to XP Pro without devices being endangered? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I have two copies again more XP Pro SP2 at my disposal, if that's any use.

  Kind regards

  David

  (> I'm happy again now: o)
  Great to hear that!

  Just for info:
  The most recent series of portable supports the newer SATA HDD controllers and so the operating system can be installed if the SATA drivers are not included and preinstalled.

  So if you want to use the SATA features you must first install the SATA driver.
  But you can also activate SATA mode to compatibility mode (in BIOS) and this would install the Win XP without the necessary SATA drivers.

• Satellite L550 PSLW8A can only get OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to 64-bit?

  Hi all

  I am writing from Australia.

  Two weeks ago, I bought a new laptop Toshiba ([http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq]) with the following characteristics:

  Model: Satellite L550
  Reference number: PSLW8A-01101F
  BIOS: V1.60
  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
  RAM: 4 GB
  HARD DRIVE: 500 GB
  OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (OEM preinstalled)

  My question:
  How can I switch to Win7 Pro * 32 - bit * for Win7 Pro * 64 - bit *?

  If I use the recovery disk (the hidden recovery partition) utility to do a clean reinstallation of Win7 Pro, I will give the choice during the process of resettlement of the installation either the 32-bit version or 64-bit?

  Or I have + not + get the choice at all and simply be limited to the OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit that came pre-installed version?

  All advice or information about how to pass OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to Win7 Pro 64-bit would be appreciated.

  Nick

  Hello

  AFAIK almost all new laptops are available with 32 and 64-bit OS and two recovery images are saved on the HARD drive.
  When you start installation HARD drive you should see the option to choose which version must be installed.

  Simply start the installation of HARD drive and you will see what menu you will see at the beginning. Not be afraid to do so. Nothing will happen.
  Real OS installation starts two steps later. If you can not damage preinstalled OS.

• HP Probook 440 G3: Problem installing Win7 Pro on Probook 440 G3 - drivers not found

  The product was delivered with Win 10 installed but I need to run Win7 Pro.

  I photographed the disk before working on it and can restore to Win 10 without problem.

  However, when you start the process with a USB or DVD, I am able to choose the country, then be able to click on 'Install now', but I am then asked the drivers for the USB or CD/DVD drive. I downloaded them from the HP site but installation will not find them when searched.

  I'm very frustrated and need to get Windows 7 installed... How to repair the unit to 'see' the drivers can be installed in order to continue the installation?

  Hello:

  Microsoft Windows 7 installation media is not the native USB 3.0 drivers.

  Therefore, add USB 3.0 drivers in Windows installation flash drive.

  Intel has on it.  They have a utility that does all the work for you.

  Follow the instructions in the Readme link to make a bootable USB flash drive to your windows installation DVD.

• Update Windows to Win7 Pro-wants to remove previously deleted program 10

  I'm trying to upgrade to Win10 of Win7 Pro.  Update required me to remove Symantec Endpoint Protection, I did.  But several attempts to update always ask for the removal of this program, even if it no longer exists.  How to clear the checkpoint so that the update will pronounce?  Thank you.

  Jim

  Jim,

  If using CleanWipe utility has not fixed this problem then I think you should contact Symantec support.

  I also suggest to have a look on their user forum to see if someone else has experienced the same problem.  To do this in parallel with contact technical support because their users are likely to be more competent.

  It is possible to run a clean install Windows 10 you are activating and using your Windows 7 product key.  These are the best explanations I've seen-

  Clean Windows install 10 - WiKi

  Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

  • Running a clean install would not suffer the current problem, but it would be more work that you would have to reinstall all your applications later.  The disc should be wiped its previous content.
  • Personally, I "fix" Windows 10 on my other computer by performing a clean installation.  This gives the best chance of an OS without problem in the future.

• Interoperability of OEM license? Win7 Pro vs built-in Win7

  Every year I buy instrumentation include a licensed OEM Windows operating system.   Regular maintenance lab at my installation implies historically harddrive cloning to create identical machines for identical seasons when new provider driver/tools are available.

  Until this year, our instruments of the seller have all come with the same OEM Win7 Pro, facilities so we have followed carefully what licenses went with what instruments, but were easily able to quickly deploy updates string tool by doing a manual installation & validation process 1 x and then 'cloning' around the laboratory to wear all the benches in accordance.

  The most recent instruments, we bought provider now include OEM Win7 built-in instead of "Win7 pro" our concern is that now our current model of 'cloning' will not work, because we have a pool of # win7 pro licenses and a pool of win7 # Embedded licenses.

  To all the instruments of the 'same' for the sake of cloning, us (very probably via OEM Embedded Win7, because the seller cannot provide Pro licenses) us fall under the aegis of the "downgrade rights"? Or do we need to negotiate with the seller to provide a reserve of specifically OEM Win7 Embedded licenses to assign to the laboratory & retired benches our set of OEM Win7 Pro files?

  Upgrade to a later version of Windows is not an option because we want to stay with provider supported OS (es).

  1 you will need to check the documentation of your purchase, including any contract enabling essential at the supplier.  They have obtained licenses for Windows embedded products they sold to you.

  2 they should also provide you with the image of the system that you use for cloning for the new equipment operations.

  3 your Win7 Pro existing licenses will continue to apply to the equipment they were first installed on.  As each piece of equipment is retired, his license dies because the OEM licenses are not transferable.

  4 upgrade is not really relevant for users of Embedded licenses because the equipment provider, as the Subscriber license & hardware developer, would have to deal with these issues.

  Your Windows 7 Embedded products will continue to receive updates until 2026.

  You can examine these questions using the link above.

  5 you will not be able to make all your instruments, the "same".  They are different.
