Hello @Thufail19,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

I read your post about installing Windows and he wanted to help!

As long as you have the product key for Windows, you can install via USB or the software disk.  Just follow the instructions on the screen.  You can check this site to see if your product is compatible with Windows 10: upgrade to Windows 10

If you are not sure about Windows 10, then I recommend installation 8.1 Windows and recovery media creation.  You can use this document to help you, if necessary: HP PC - create a recovery Image on disk or save a recovery Image on a Flash drive (Windows 8)

In this way, you can upgrade to Windows 10 If you choose, and if you are not happy with it, you can return to Windows 8. 1. once the operating system is ready to go, you can get the drivers you need for your product at the following site: drivers - HP for laptop - 15-af008ax

Here are a few documents about 10 additional Windows:

HP Notebook PC - upgrade to Windows 10

HP computers - understanding and using Windows 10

HP products - where to find Windows 10 drivers and software for my model?

Have a great weekend!

    Hello John

    It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
    In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

    What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

  • How to install Windows 7 from this file img or md5?

    What should I do with the IMG file?

    I downloaded Windows 7 Professional 64 bit in an online store so I could move to 64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium (discount student/teacher). I clicked on the launch button installation.

    Upgrade paths:
    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate
    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate
    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition
    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise
    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Hi all

    I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is a Computer Phobic and has the same brand and model of Toshiba laptop than me. He would like to go back instead of Windows Vista business to Windows XP Professional.

    Its hard drive is the hard disk from Western Digital WD 1200BEVS. He told me that when he went to install Windows XP, it came with no HARD drive. I don't know if I can quote the chipset here, but here it is anyway. The chipset is an Intel(r) ICH8M ultra ata storage controllers-2850. All the advice in a simple format would be gratefull. He downloaded the bios unsuccessfully and nlite to work on a computer with some help of a computer technician on a thumb (flash) drive)

    Hi @weiwei17,
     
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your computer laptop 14-ac014tx HP and questions with your upgrade to Windows 10. Try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix the problem.

    Here is a document that shows how update the drivers that do not work correctly with Windows 10.

    HP has worked closely with Microsoft on developing for Windows 10. Currently there is no driver available for your system. You can try and check at a later date, because I see new drivers all the time.

    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that may need updating.

    Thank you.

  • uninstalled Java, try t re-in-stall, cannot because of "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed Windows 7.

    Having Windows 7 Service Pack 1.  Had to uninstall Java/Pogo games but when you try to reinstall Java a window pops up saying, "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed.

    I used Revo UN-install, but when I checked the Panel he showed Java with a folder instead of the Java icon.  I tried to find what file or folder, it is the case, find nothing.  Please help if you can.

    Thank you.

    This sounds like your problem? - http://forums.whatthetech.com/index.php?showtopic=104537&hl=This+action+only+valid+products+that+currently+installed+Windows

    It lists the reg keys his looking, then you might check to see if you put them before doing anything.

    Back up your registry and set a restore point before taking any action - assuming that is your problem.

    Also, if you download and run the file, AV check it before running it - just in case.

    NOTE: the above was found by google, I have not tried that I have not had the error. I can't say if it works or not.


    PS - Also, FYI, while the research I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893048 , but it seems specific to XP - SP2. Don't know if there is an equivalent W7.

  • How to install windows 7 on a laptop after hard drive crash?

    I have a G60-235DX laptop where the hard drive is going bad.  It came with Windows Vista installed and then has been upgraded via the program from windows 7 to windows 7.  The hard drive is bad and now only works when it feels like it.  I have a replacement hard drive on the road and want to be able to reinstall windows 7 without having to pay anything.  Is it possible to do?  I don't like on the files on the computer, only the operating system.  Can I do something?  Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the disc is a disc 'upgrade', but you should not need to upgrade to Vista. According to "SUPERSITE of Thurrott", you should be able to install multimedia upgrade without a previous installation and activate it. The key seems to penetrate the Windows product key, that the installation is completed, instead of first application. Please try this and let us know how it goes.

  • Hard disk of laptop HP G7 gone bad, how to install Windows 8?

    HP Pavilion G7-2269wm

    Recovery disks were lost, not sure if it works even without the original hard drive.

    I heard that the product key is embedded in the BIOS.

    How can I go about installing of Windows 8 in a new hard drive?

    I've seen 8 posted here for download Windows OEM versions, is there any where I can get an OEM version for this particular model?

    UPDATE: OK, I ran a bad sector repair tool, I can now access the desktop if it's very slow and it seems that I can't do much, he won't let me do a search, I can't go to the recovery of the system to create recovery discs.  CAN I put the hard drive in an external enclosure, and I can access the drive from there.  I can also start up to advanced startup options.

    Is there anyway to create discs of recovery by the HD being mounted in an external enclosure, either the advanced boot menu?

    Your key works with this ISO standard. Google limits the number of times where it can be downloaded every day then you may need to make several attempts.
