HP ELITEBOOK 8440p: operating system

Hi guys

I need an OS to my twowarcash computer hand laptop hp elitebook 8440p and is there a free download of this out there? THX

Jjay00507

The answer to your question is - MAYBE!

That the PC is preinstalled with Win7 or Vista, and go do an install of OS would be buying HP recovery media to restore to the factory settings.  It's not FREE, but it is much less than the US $100 or you would have to pay to buy a copy of Win7.

Two problems with this good (that's what makes this a maybe):

(1) version of the OS

(2) availability of the recovery media

(1) that the PC came with Enterprise, Pro and Home Basic to Win7 - and given that activation is version-specific, you need to restore using the same version.  This info should be on the COA sticker on the laptop.

(2) HP is no longer a recovery media stocks for the Win7 PC, so a couple of other sites that you can visit are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

Yet once again, that the media is not free, but the cost is far less than buying a copy retail.

As for free - technically, Win10 is not free; Instead, it can be activated from an existing version of Win7, 8, 8.1 - if you need runtime access to a PC with one of these versions of OS to work in order to use Win10.

Good luck

    Hi, I have a problem with the hp Web site. When I choose my Elitebook 8440p product and search for drivers, I can't find the windows operating system 8 or 8.1 if 32 or 64 bits. I only find xp, 7 and vista. And one more thing, I can't change my laptop screen brightness as the brughtness icon is not available and the keyboard keys that have adjust the BRIGHTNESS do nothing no more. I searched a lot for a solution to this problem on Youtube and did all the steps but him has failed. So, go download the graphics card driver a solution or what I need to do. I can't take it anymore, the brightness is very high when plugged in and very low when you use the battary. And finally in my adapters to display my graphics card appears in the form (Microsoft Basic adpter display) then what kind of dirver should I download for it and not the window 7 work home based or professional if I couldn't find 8.1? Sorry for this long post, but I wanted to find out all my problems all together. Please someone answer quickly.

    Use the W7 32-bit more professional, and you would use the Intel HD graphics driver or Nvidia HD graphic driver according to which graphics adapter to your PC.

    There is no default for the BIOS administrator password. It is not intended to be forgotten if defined.

  • EliteBook 8440p: problems of Expansion RAM HP 8440p

    I recently decided to upgrade the memory on my EliteBook 8440p. After reading the form of RAM required, I bought one of these: http://www.ebuyer.com/737970-kingston-4gb-1333mhz-204-pin-cl9-ddr3-sodimm-non-ecc-unbuffered-1-5v-me...

    Once the new RAM is installed in the expansion slot, Windows will not start and crashes just on screen "starting Windows." Then I tried a test of memory using the system BIOS diagnostic tool, but the laptop either hangs around 35% (I left it there for about two hours), restarts, or stops altogether. I thought that I would give to the system try, repair tool but which caused also just the laptop restart. Curiously, when I check the "System information" tab the system diagnostics, the two RAM sticks are detected with current and accurate information.

    I contacted eBuyer, they sent a replacement out there, but I'm having the same problem again. So, I thought I would try to install new RAM in the internal slot instead (under the keyboard), but now I have a BSOD during the 'Starting Windows' screen, give me code error, "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

    I read on some forums tech upward. One of them suggested runs what is called 'Memtest' at startup via the CD, I tried, but the laptop restarts only during the first passage of the test of memory (and of course some loops over and over again until I remove the CD).

    I'm starting to lose hope! Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • EliteBook 8440p: reset Bios Admin password

    I bought an opportunity elitebook 8440p on ebay, which seems to work very well. The free update of winows 7 Windows 10 has been super cool, until a Bios update has been made available and it was obvious that the previous owner had put an ADMIN of the BIOS password.

  • HP EliteBook 8440p: memory modules RAM that actually work for HP EliteBook 8440p?

    Hi everyone again. I scoured these forums and others and can't find a definitive answer to the upgrade of my RAM memory.

    My system:

    HP EliteBook 8440p

    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 M640

    Professional Win7 64 bit

    133 MHz bus clock

    BIOS: HP 68ccu, worm. F.11 (2010)

    Dual core, hyper-threaded (4)

    (?) Mobile Intel QM57 chipset

    According to Belarc Advisor, I currently have a 4MB of RAM Samsung under the keyboard module. The second location is empty.  First of all, more memory RAM is not sold in the UK? I know that the computer is capable of 8 GB and the Kingston modules, I just tried to install were 4GB each.  Sticks of Kingston are 8 GB (2 x 4), PC3-10600, CL9, 1.5V, 204 pins SODIMM modules and they do NOT work on this laptop even if they should.

    Has anyone found the secret of exactly which modules memory will work with this specific model of laptop? It is issues of density? Problems of tension? Am I missing a driver. I have to sing the thing while I install memory?

    Seriously, any help at all will be appreciated.

    Hello:

    Please read this thread, and I posted the memory you need to NewEgg if you live in the USA/Canada.

    The 8440p uses the same memory as the 6550 b.

  • EliteBook 8440p: increase the dedicated vram

    Hello

    I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to increase my vram dedicated on my laptop.

    I have a 8440p with windows installed 10 EliteBook.  He and card Intel(r) HD Graphics (Core i5). I know it's a memory shared, and I can't change, however when I open the BIOS I can not find where I can change it. Currently, there are only 64 MB dedicated vram.

    So if anyone could tell me where and how I could increase in the BIOS it I would really appreciate it.

    EliteBook 8440p

    Intel(r) HD Graphics (Corei5)

    Hello @GameGeneral,

    This has been asked several times before. Unfortunately, you cannot change the vram dedicated on this configuration. You won't find anything in the bios settings HP to do. The system should increase the allocated memory dynamically if she need the RAM in the system, even if it is not as good a vram dedicated to games.

    I'm sorry.
