How to put Vista m8000n Windows 8.1

I want to upgrade Windows on our HP's Vista Home Premium from Windows 8.1 m8000n. I noticed that there is \posts on the problems of updating the BIOS firmware on a m8000n before upgrading to Windows 7 (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/HP-Pavillion-Media-Center-M8000...), but it doesn't seem to be something like this for Windows 8.1.

Are there instructions for upgrading to 8.1?

Is this kind of upgrade recommended or not?

Should I consider upgrading to Windows 7 instead?

The problem of BIOS, which requires of the workaround in the link above has solved for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1?

Thank you

Jerry

This product has not been tested by the compatibility of HP Center, but what I see on your card, I recommend to go to Windows 7 64-bit.  Try with BIOS that you already have, and if you need to update the BIOS, use the solution as shown in the link you provided.

Use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from this site, it will tell you what needs to be addressed

    Hello

    Hmm in my opinion you can only seek to create a second partition on your HARD drive and then install the Win98 on that partition.
    Windows vista supports the clean boot manager and you should be able to choose between the two BONES-> Vista or Win98

    Legacy applications, you can run it on the Win98 and if you want to use Vista you can choose the option in the Boot Manager and Vista will start.

    You mean change from Windows 7 to Vista?

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

    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

    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.

I am at a loss to know what to do.  Help, please.  If I'm missing any information that might help you to help me, please let me know.  How to put on my Windows XP Home?   My recovery thing is missing, too. Thank you very much.  Penny.
