HP Compaq 6200 Pro SFF: Opgrade Windows 10 - HP Compaq 6200 Pro Small Form Factor PC
Hello
I want opgrade Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) to Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) with a clean install.
I am aware that I have to choose the UEFI mode in the start menu, but do I
enable/disable in the BIOS before I boot the installation DVD?
Concerning
Knud Erik
Hello sfinksen ;
Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
I read your post about upgrading your PC to Win10 and wanted to help.
First of all, you do not ask UEFI install Win10 Pro 64-bit. I installed on a desktop computer using BIOS and MBR and it works very well. You're not even sure that a Mini-PC offers the possibility of UEFI?
Then, personally, I recommend the update. The problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver. HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.
To further complicate things, the GoBack to Win10 function has been proven to be unreliable, so when people are trying to return to an earlier OS when it does not work, cannot leave the machine in a damaged condition, such as only a full factory reset HP recovery support it will get back to a working condition , and not only you have to buy only media, you end up losing all your data, settings, and applications in the process.
However, you can protect yourself from this kind of problems if, BEFORE you do that, you consider using a third-party application Imaging/restoration as Macrium Reflect to image your machine off, so you can easily restore it if something does not work. And don't count on the Win10 GoBack function back on Win7, it is not reliable and can leave your computer in a damaged state.
Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
What I recommend is the following:
(1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
(2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
(3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore. In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry. This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!
NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
In addition, a clean install of Win10 lights only in the following circumstances:
1) using build 10240 (RTM), an upgrade in previous place was done and confirmed have activated.
(2) using the updated 10586 (November), a valid before the OS product key has been entered.
So, if you have decided to do a clean install, you'd better using the MS Media (MCT) tool: Windows Installer by using the tool of creation of media - 10 Windows help
With this tool, you have the option of (1) creation of installation of Win10 (USB or DVD) media, (2) download an ISO file, (3) update the PC directly. If all you want to do is updated on this PC, then choose the option: upgrade this PC now. This tool automatically selects the generation 10586 - giving you the opportunity to enter a product key to activate it.
Good luck

I am looking for the part number for the Windows 7 Professional SP1 reinstall the operating system on the desktop LTS Pro 4000. I'm working on the reinstallation of the operating system on a computer group for a company that installs and got mixed albums and I can't match what disks go with what models. Now, my problem is the Pro 4000. I have a disk with the part number 650432-DN3, which says "for Distribution only with a new HP or Compaq PC. 32-bit software. Is it possible to determine whether this is the right drive for this machine?
TIA for any assistance.
Hello:
This disc is not specifically for this model.
It's for a business laptop, but you should be able to use this disk on a desktop HP business or a laptop that came (or could have been) with windows 7 Pro.
You must then install all the drivers you need for HP 4000 Pro support page.
There is no need to enter a product key.
The recovery disc for a Pro 4000 would be in a set of at least 3 and numbered accordingly.
Also, it would be labeled HP Restore Plus.

Compaq DC5800 sff: compaq dc5800 small form factor 4 monitors
My machine is a Compaq dc 5800 small form factor. Running windows 7.
Wondered what would be the best way to get four monitors to work on this machine. Different programs of 4 separate monitors 4 on each of them, what graphics card should I buyto achieve?
I have a usb to vga thing that might work for a monitor, so this means that I need a chart of small form factor card that can work 2 or do I need one that will run 3. I read that once you install a graphics card, you can't activate the onboard graphics in the bios. I don't want to have this problem. Please help me.
Thank you
Here is the Manual:
You'll need a card video low - profile pci-e x 16. Even if you buy one with 3 outputs as a vga, one dvi and one HDMI usually you can only use 2.
And Yes, when you install an add-in pci-e video card, you will lose the integrated graphics card.
In order to drive the moire than 2 monitors you need a second video card, or a multiple display adapter cable. You have a pci-e available x 1 slot and there is such a thing as a video card pci-e x 1 like this:
http://www.Matrox.com/graphics/en/products/graphics_cards/m_series/m9120pluslpx1/
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA4UB1J73800
Some of these x 1 cards actually have a quad cable optionally, you can add the display.
These are not for gaming but can run extra for things monitors as having walked fellow RSS site or desktop computers more available to work.

I have a HP Compaq 6300 Small Form Factor in which I just replaced the motherboad. It works very well. I can start on a USB bootable and (1) start a Windows 8 or a clean installation of Windows 10. I can (2). boot from a USB drive capable of Linux Mint 17.3 Startup and load that OS fine. When I try the installation of any of the aforementioned OSs (Windows 8/10-Linux Mint 17) they all will get an error of memory or hard drive and the installation at the beginning of the installation to fail. I tried this on two SSD drives and two HDs standard. I am at a loss on what to try next. Any help would be great. Thank you. -Matt
I have it. It was a bad memory stick.

Affordable graphics for dc 5800 sff small form factor?
My PC is dc 5800 sff small footprint with Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz, 4 GB of RAM. Now it runs with Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 256 MB. I find it difficult to play games (like Pro Evolution Soccer 2015) in full resolution. I'm doing research on many types of video cards, but it seems impossible because of their diversity. Affordable graphics for dc 5800 sff small form factor?
I've seen a few posts on the forum that says HD 6450 1 GB HP is correct; However, I would like to make 'extra' room 1 GB for the future. And I had Msi Hd 6450 2 GB and Asus Gt 630 2 Gb(GT630-SL-2GD3-L) on the spirit, but do not know if it will market voluntarily on my PC.
Can you help me and suggestions are appreciated?
Thank you.
Hello:
Food's owner, which means that you can use only one.
This means that you need to customize a graphics card to work with the existing configuration.
The GT 610 or HD 6450 should work within the limits of the 240W power that has your PC.
Each card must be much better than the card integrated Intel.

Hello:
For a video card, I recommend the AMD Radeon HD 6450 half-height card, which works perfectly with the 240W power supply in your PC.
Make sure that you get one that includes low profile brackets in the area.
Memory... you can install a maximum of 4 x 2 GB memory PC2-6400 for your model if you are running a 64-bit operating system.
I have used this brand in my dc7800 CMT. I bought 2 games and maxed out.
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820231207
Processors... Mine came with the E8300, so I didn't change that.

Hello
I'm not too familiar with the hardware upgrades, so I wonder if a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB would be compatible with my HP Compaq DC7800 Small Form Factor?
Thanks for any help!
Hello:
Here is the link to the plug for the GeForce 8800GT...
http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-8800-GT/specifications
Certainly, this card will not work in your machine for two reasons.
1. he needs a power outlet extra that doesn't have food dc7800.
2. the draw of the power of the card (105W), is too much for the PCIe x 16 slot 25W prorated and 240W power your PC.
These PCs is designed for light desktop for administration.
If you want to add a video card, it must be a down a profile that comes with low profile brackets in the area.
I recommend the AMD HD 6450 or Nvidia GT-610 low profile cards that will work within the limits of the power supply of your PC has.
