How to Win 7 Pro license on a laptop HP 4540 s that came with Win 8 Pro 64 bit (no COA)?

Ok

So, I bought a nice new HP laptop... 4540 s I5 - very nice - but it comes with 8 Pro 64 bit Windows which unfortunately will not run the basic things I need this laptop due to driver problems. So no problem. I have right to demotion on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit for Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I have Windows 7 the retail media and an existing permit, that I can use during the installation (although this license is also used on my other machine).

So, I install windows 7. No problem.

Add all the drivers for your laptop. No problem.

Now comes the part where I'm supposed to install the license to activate.

I use the license key, I had already activated on my other laptop (although that is running windows 7 32 bit).

It allows! Shock. It should have my other machine is the use of this license.

In any case. I want to be able to use the "downgrade" on the Windows 8 Pro 64 bit license rights and apply it to the installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit I am now running. Althougth it is allowed there is no any procedure for anyone without a physical COST windows 8 for the upgrade to Windows 7.

If someone please advise how I can solve this problem. I have called Microsoft a few times and seem to end up on hold because no one can answer my question.

How register you an installation of Windows 7 when you do not have a certificate of authenticity windows 8?

Surely someone must have hit this already.

Please notify.

Well,.

subsequently talked to someone in the Microsoft technical support who told me that I should talk to HP in order to obtain a product key valid windows 7 pro 64. However as I expected maintain for nearly an hour he was good enough to go through the process on behalf of HP and was able to give me a new key.

But if you need to do this, then I guess the official course is to contact HP and ask for a key. And apparently they should also be able to provide you with support of Windows 7 If you ask.

hope that helps.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv3, I was wondering if I can still use the free update that accompanies it in 2009? IAM in need of an upgrade to Windows 7 or downgrade to Xp for my work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you will have to pay for the upgrade to Windows 7. The free upgrade to W7 end around March-April 2010.

    The XP downgrade should come at the same time with the machine (IE an installation CD). May be a bit late now, but you can always contact HP to check.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

    HI ATR

    Just update you 13 windows 7 items... I sat until midnight and found the program data and ended up finding the catalog. I deleted the catalog now. and uninstalled items 13. I hope that when I reinstall it will be like new, and I can go back again. I had messed up I saw when viewing the photos in the media, it was media files and thought they shouldn't be there so I deleted them. Maybe thinking about now I get an error. Before, I made a slideshow with the media from the drive. I just started using elements 13 I used windows live previously for videos. Can you let me know also what photoshop elements or first, you use the most.  Also if I import video files in why do I see them I think of thumbnails. That's where I went wrong and thinking, they shouldn't be here. I brought a few books and trying to go through the learning process. What camera do you use?  Many questions sorry. Thanks for any help.  Russell
