How to get rid of Windows 8 and replace it with Windows 7

I bought my HP Pavilion laptop G6 in December 2012, when all the they had was Windows 8 machines.  So I thought I would give it a try.  Well, I have 8 months now and I still hate Windows 8 .  I want to replace it with Windows 7, the latest stable known operating system launched by Microsoft.  But I heard that recent material doesn't have even a device to support Win7 drivers.

Is there something I can do?

Thank you

Hi Ken,

There is no reason that you should not be able to install and run Windows 7 on your laptop.

While it is true that HP provide no Windows 7 drivers for machines shipped with Windows 8, you should always be able to find all the relevant Win 7 drivers, you will need.

What is the complete model number and your notebook series g6 Nr? -See here for a guide to the location of such information.

Kind regards

  • Anyone know how to get rid of this most recent Search tab with the last update, I hate it and want now missing

    It seems that it is an add-on you have installed. I would try disabling your add-ons until you find the troublemaker. Disable or remove modules To uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please proceed as follows:

    1. In the Firefox Firefox window click on the top left and select Add-onsor, if the Firefox button is not displayed, click the Tools menu, and then click Add-ons.
    2. Once the add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the Extensions button on the left side of the window.
    3. You should now see a list of your extensions installed on the right side and buttons on the right side of each extension.
    4. To remove an extension of Firefox, simply click on the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the deletion of the add-on.
    5. Note that some modules require a restart of Firefox to make it disappear completely. To perform a restart of Firefox after removal of add-on, click restart now in the message.

    'Status' Bar? There is nothing to do with this name. Do you mean the task
    Bar?
     
    Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
    It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
    side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
    where you want it. Don't forget to click on * in * it, not on the edge.
    by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.
     
    If it does not move, it can be locked. In this case, right click on it
    and uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then try again.
     
    Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
    on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
    use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.

  • Cannot access Internet and all programs on the start menu. How to get rid of a virus on windows xp

    I was recently given a hand computer (compaq I tthink) so I'm not clear about all the fancy stuff to the extent of the ect CPU... but I know it has windows xp pro. in any case, a friend used my computer and for some reason any felt the need to download a program called 7-zip. Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it. Oh and I can't get online in normal or safe boot mod either, what can I do?

    Original title: how to get rid of a virus on windows xp proremove a virus from windows xp pro

    Hello

    1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

    4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

    www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

    Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

    Method 2: Safe mode with networking

     

    Step 1: Check if you can browse the Internet with success in Mode safe mode with networking.

    Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

    Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    Step 1: Follow the steps in the link below to do the same thing:

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as shown here:

    Step 2: To configure Windows to use a Normal startup state

    After you have used the boot is a way to solve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    1. Click Start and then click Run.
    2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Method 3:

    Create a new user account and verify if you are able to access the program in the start menu.

    Try to connect with a different user has administrator rights account and then create a new user account.

  • How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?

    How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?  I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to.  I just want my computer works like windows xp.

    So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.

    OR

    do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?

    In this case (start base fast and simple):

    • try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
    • Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
    • Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
    • Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.

    But its still W7 in disguise.

    Is that the sort of thing you mean?

    If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

  • Hello I am downloading from my site and my characters are messy. I type an e (taken glyphs-window), but what appears is an and the copyright sign? can someone tell me how I get rid off this

    Hello I am downloading from my site and my characters are messy. I type an e (taken glyphs-window), but what appears is an and the copyright sign? can someone tell me how I get rid off this?

    I tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to make a difference.

    In my view, they have already done for you...

    The site seems OK now. Hooray !

    But let's dig down to the serious things of this.

    If the browser needs a statement of character. Probably ' UTF-8 ', but another or an older one would be as well, as long as it's cheap, and it respects the method of characterization of the Web page.

    This statement can be provided by (1) the web server itself (its default value), (2) the htaccess file in your web root directory server, or (3) on each web page. Where there are several and contradictory statements perhaps, the older in the command above rules. But in the case where the Server and the htaccess do not provide a statement of character and your web page later on, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Your provider said that they do not have a such context in their web server, and it wasn't a htaccess file in your root folder (Muse is not create it for you). Once again: do not worry, it should always be no problem, because all your web pages provides the declaration as well (thanks to Muse). We have checked that, no doubt.

    That is where their claim is not accurate. BTW: many tips are on the Internet on the common practice in this area and they all advice that the htaccess is not the place more obvious to the declaration. The page is the best place to put it.

    W3C (the 'boss' of http and html)

    some general information:

    Choosing & applying a character encoding

    putting in a .htaccess file:

    Definition of charset in .htaccess information

    and finally, put on the page:

    Declaring character encodings in HTML

    But what is even more strange: I checked the web server of your provider to access this service online, and it seems that their server is to provide a framework (and it is UTF-8, fortunately). It's the opposite of what they have been say...

    Now I have the idea of some personal provider noticed this morning that their server wasn't working properly (maybe after a failure of server or another incident or failure), serving the pages with a wrong setting. Then maybe they quickly corrected, and not to let you know that, they tell you to put in place this htaccess file (which makes no difference, just as the declaration of your page also could not prevail in the setting of the server).

    So now, you are done with all the three statements: a parameter, a htaccess in your Web site folder and that of your server page. As long as they all say and expect the same (UTF-8) you don't have to worry about this.

    Problem solved, three times!

    PS: many accommodation providers (and I'm afraid that yours as well) tend to declaring that whatever they do is 'standard' and 'obvious'. While in many situations, it's always a little different and certainly not the standard, not to mention obvious...

Maybe you are looking for
