How to replace Windows 8 with Windows 7 on a Compaq CQ58

Hello!

Yesterday, I bought a Compaq CQ58 with Windows 8 on it. I would buy Windows 7 to replace Windows 8 with. But:

1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58?

2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject?

3 and if so, how?

When you request support, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. Please see How can I find my model number or product number? for help more to find this information. DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58? YES, it is probably possible to install Windows 7 on your computer.

2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject? NO.

3 and if so, how?

WARNING *.

HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

From the top...

(1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

(2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

(6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

(7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

(8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

(9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

(10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

(12) you may need to provide Intel or AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...

(13) ' where do you want to install Windows 7? Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated space", you created earlier, and then click "next".

(14) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

(15) download and install the drivers from the support page for your computer.

After installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (text only) for all other devices missing or unknown as illustrated in the example below.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Hi brephosa8701,

    Unfortunately the nc6220 doesn't have Windows 7 drivers on the HP.com website, I suggest that you try to use Windows Vista drivers and see if that can solve some problems for you.

  • How to replace the arrow with a graph on a TitledPane?

    The TitledPane has an arrow that changes state (turns) to indicate whether the component is reduced or developed. Is there a way to replace this arrow with a chart customized for each State?

    Most certainly. Everything in the controls is style-able in the CSS. The area you are trying to style can be addressed through:

    .titled-pane > .title > .arrow-button
    

    So you can specify images here, for example, or you can simply change the trajectory of the arrow by adding another > .arrow on the end below, I posted the all CSS style that is built for TitledPane so you can see how everything is style. You can create your own style sheet, copy and paste this in there and then begin to tweak things and see how it affects the appearance of the TitledPane.

    See you soon

  • How to replace one table with another?

    I need to replace one table with another. Both tables have the same structure, primary keys, indexes, constraints, but different data (about 50 million records).
    I would like to make this replacement in line, with no passage of database in offline mode.
    There is no clause CREATE or REPLACE TABLE in Oracle unfortunely.
    I could use just DROP and ALTER TABLE RENAME instructions, but it is necessary that a user receive message error "table or view does not exist. It may be possible to block incoming requests at the moment, while old and new droppping table rename are performed?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi again!

    You can detect normal users with session sessions $ v. A session of a normal user has a username (username of the column). Systemsessions PMON and SMON have no user name. So, you can use the following query to detect sessions, you need to kill:

    SELECT sid, serial#, username
    FROM   v$session
    WHERE type NOT LIKE 'BACKGROUND';

    By default in formsweb.cfg you have a section called \[jpi\].
    If you run the form with config = YPI added to URL Sun JRE will be used instead of Jinitiator. Note that you must specify correct jpi_classid in formsweb.cfg match the version of JRE to your client computers.

    To configure forms server to use any version of JRE installed on the client computer, you can create a section in formsweb.cfg

    \[jpidynamic\]
    baseHTMLJInitiator = basejpi.htm
    jpi_download_page = http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_09/index.html

  • How to replace the iPhone with iCloud contacts contacts

    I see a lot on the other hand... but I need help.  I spent hours on my reductive duplicates of MAC (2-3 each) and out Hung old addresses, etc..  I've narrowed my list of contacts from 1200 to 458.  Once I did, I have archived my new list of contacts "just in case."  When I go in iCloud on my computer, I see 458 contacts.  Large.  However, my iPad and iPhone are always a mess.  I thought that this was happening in iCloud would replace the junk on my devices.  I have read articles that said disable contacts in iCloud and it will ask you what you want to do with contacts - delete.  Yes, I did.  It has eliminated about 90 contacts and that's it.  Also, I went to all my e-mail and accounts disabled using contacts from gmail, yahoo, outlook etc.  Who does nothing either.

    Summary: What's in my account iCloud, 458 contacts, is correct.  Now, how the hell do I clean my iphone and ipad and load these 458 contacting them and get rid of the 1200-1500 in each device now?  Waaaah.   Very frustrating that there is not a global deletion that I can find.

    Please help a rookie.  MM

    Turn on the iCloud contacts for all devices

  • How to replace one color with each other?

    Hello

    I use Photoshop Version: 2015.1.1 to change a single image.  (I use the color Mode indexed with a color table custom that I created with only 8 basic colors.)

    My bitmap has a black background and a border of a pixel wide red around its perimeter.  I want to erase that border (replacing the Red pixels with black).  I can do this with the Eraser tool, but I have to drag them all around.

    I was wondering if there is a faster way to do it.  If there is a tool that would allow me to click on the red border, they are automatically the Red pixels that form this border change to black, it would be great.  If someone can tell me that if such a tool exists, I would really appreciate it.

    I should mention that the inner part of my bitmap has red pixels I don't want to change, so I don't have to replace all the Red pixels across in your drawing.  I just replace the consecutive red pixels that form the border.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul
