How to install Windows 7 Home Premium on my HP Pavilion g6-2331 tx laptop

I have a HP Pavilion g6-2331 tx laptop. When I bought Windows 8 OEM was preinstalled.  I need to have Windows 7 Home Premium as the operating system (but do not want to remove Windows 8). I bought Windows 7 Home Premium and have a product key.  I tried installing from the DVD but have had no luck.  Can you help me, please? If so, please keep in mind that I'm over 50 and not an IT guru.

I have my fingers crossed!

  • How to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit?

    Hello! Can someone tell me how can I make Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to 64-bit?

    Here's my question: -.

    1. I bought a version of Windows Vista Edition retail family Premium, the package has only the 32-bit support (DVD). I found a few website say that the product key for the retail version of Windows is for 32-bit and 64-bit, as long as we use 32 - bit or 64 - bit on a single computer at a time. If I'm wrong, anyone could answer my question?

    2. now, I plan to move from 32 bit to 64 bit, my problem is that the version sold at retail of Windows that I purchased only contain 32-bit media:-

    (a) is there a way I could install the 64-bit Windows?

    (b) is it possible I could get 64-bit support?

    (c) could I use media in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit retail a friend to install on my computer? And after installation, I can activate Windows with my product key?

    Looking forward to the responses, thank you.

    Do you a clean install from 32 bit to 64 bit.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsvista/1033/ordermedia/default.mspx

    Link above is how you get 64 bit DVD, if you have a retail license.

    You can use any Microsoft Vista 64-bit DVD and use your 32 bit key as you say it's Vista Retail

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How can I re install windows 7 Home premium

    I downloaded widows 8 two weeks ago and, even if I like it, I found that it is not compatible with my Sony VAIO 3 year one-piece desktop computer because it windows * does not download some drivers like the built-in webcam and microphone.

    I need to re install Windows 7 Home Premium for which I bought through for download on the Microsoft Store in the United Kingdom. I have a product key and the purchase of reception ect. How I can do what I've searched and searched and cannot find any where on the internet that shows me how to do this. I would appreciate your advice and help, and more important again some instructions.

    When double boot with older versions of Windows, you must install the older version of Windows first (in this case Windows 7) on the boot drive. Create a partition, and then install Windows 8.

    Another thing, you would need a full version of Windows 8, Windows Pro 8 is an upgrade and you used to update the license of Windows 7 Home Premium eligible you want because you would be in non-compliance.

    Buy a full version of Windows 8

    If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information.

  • How long an installion take to install Windows 7 Home Premium on a new hard drive in minutes, hours. ?

    Its seems its time consuming to install Windows 7 Home Premium

    It varies depending on factors such as the speed of the processor, memory, and even the speed of the hard drive. I've seen facilities vary from 14 minutes, 20 minutes to an hour to several hours, but is upgrade scenarios. Because you perform a custom installation, would be no more than 20 to 30 minutes. If you experience problems during installation, try unplugging all non-essential devices (printers, disk external drive, thumb drive, scanner), the installer of Windows 7 could try to detect them.

  • How to install Windows XP Home on my Satellite L500-1ZP?

    I formatted my Satellite L500-1ZP (PSLS9E) and thought DLI install win xp instead of win7 (do not have the disk/partition backup)
    now, when I start it with the cd of windows XP blue screen 'windows setup' inside start but when its finished loading, it gives me an error code:
    ' * STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF78DA63C, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000).

    I read somewhere that I need to download SATA drivers for my laptop and do a disc to install windows xp with the SATA drivers on it?

    I tried to get these drivers, but I don't know that I have need and how to do the installation disc
    I copy my original windows XP Home cd and put the drivers in a folder somewhere on the disk?

    I hope someone can resolve my problem because the laptop is just over a year, and I don't really want to buy a new...

    I just hope that you created the recovery DVDs until you started to install own OS. After clean operating system installation you not longer have access to data recovery.

    You are right. For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. How to install Windows XP Home edition on the new laptop models that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

    In the end, I must say that your last sentence is pretty confusing to me. You bought the laptop designed for Win7 and you want to use the old WXP on this. Do you really think you need to buy the new laptop if you want to install Windows XP Home edition?

  • If I install Windows Vista Home Premium to my Windows XP is it go faster?

    Hi, I want to know if I install Windows Vista Home Premium on my Windows XP Home Edition it will go faster? Now, Windows XP is very slow and my son wants to play online games and he can't because the computer will have to slow down. So I was wondering if I install the Windows Vista disc I had, this will make faster? and the computer I have an adapter to receive Web, couldn't that make it slow to? Please answer.

    It depends on the specifications of the system... XP might be infected with something, if its slow. You have it scanned with an AV program or something? Vista needs a bit more ram than XP. So, if there is not enough ram in the system, Vista can be just as slow (or slower) than XP. If the conversation of youre cable is an ethenet cable, you need it. Or you will not get on the internet

    Huh?

    Try to understand, taking the repeated mention, I guess you're saying that you have Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) and you do not have any audio.

    Have you spent at the web page of the manufacturer of your computer support and their section downloads & drivers and got the last audio/HiFi drivers for your specific hardware?  They are those who produced and load of the equipment.
