HP Elitebook 8560w: upgrade

Good afternoon

After the purchase of my laptop, I realized that a fake windows 7 Ultimate has been installed on it. Later, I found the key for Windows 7 Pro inside the battery of the laptop. Could I get the original window and the upgrade to windows 10 without losing all my installations?

Thank you

I can't support you in any way to go ahead with the fake Windows 7. Yes, you need to reinstall Windows 7 Pro using the correct key Code in order to be legally compliant. The problem is you have today and tomorrow to go to Windows 10 for free and I do nto think that there is anyway you can get a disc of Windows 7 Pro in this time if you already have one available. HP has perhaps some restore disks available for this model, but I don't think that you can get that quickly.

  • HP Elitebook 8560w: upgrade my ram and the correct use of slots

    Hello - my first post!

    I just bought HP 8560w refurbished seller.  It has a quad core processor and four ram slots.  I can post the SN and product number if it helps with my request.

    I want to max out my ram without disturbing the keyboard.  I currently have 4 x 4 ram installed so that four locations are used.  My machine will support a maximum of 32 of ram.

    Here is the query - I can remove the 2 ram sticks of the slots I can easily see when I remove the back (I guess these are slots 3 & 4) and replace them with 2 sticks 8 ram each?

    It would give me a total of 24 ram - 2 x 4 under the keyboard (slots 1 & 2) and 2 x 8 in two other passers-by.

    This upgrade would be OK and be recognized by the system?

    Thank you, Russ.

    Hi, Russ:

    It seems that you can according to the maintenance manual.

    http://h20628.www2.HP.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c03424153-1.PDF

    He says that one of the compartment of the expansion memory slot should be filled with a chip to add a slot 2.

    It also says the same thing about the locations of primary memory under the KB.

    Hello!
    Thanks for posting in the HP support forum!

    8.1 Microsoft Windows (although very good and big update ) is still in BETA (testing) phase and is not officially supported.

    Windows has features upgrade analysis and that it has detected that HP ProtectTools are not (yet) compatible with the new operating system (new update) - still in test.

    Note that this OS is still in beta and may contain bugs. In addition, he brings a few changes that any other 3rd party suppliers must take into account and it will take a while until the program is compatible.

    I recommend - if you want to test the new operating system, install fresh on another computer to test (processing Edition), not a production machine. Otherwise, for your laptops of business - use only the final versions of the software (such as Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8).

    Let me know if I can help you further!

    Please, take into consideration my location (Europe) and time zones. I'll try to give the answer as soon as possible.

  • Where can I find a set of RAM for my Elitebook 8560w 2x16GB?

    The Elitebook 8560w is said to have 32 GB memory maximum capacity in two slots of RAM SO-DIMM 204 pins.  Unfortunately, I did not have chance to find a set of RAM 2x16GB with the correct specifications (1333 MHz or 1600 MHz). Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Hi all

    I wonder if you might be able to shed some light on a problem I encounter.

    I'm building an Elitebook 8560w with Windows XP x 86. But I can't find the drivers for the following items:

    Base system device

    USB device

    This is how they appear in Device Manager. Strangely, I have installed the USB driver from the HP site, and they work very well. But I still have the yellow exclamation next to the USB device in the DM window?  I don't know what is peripheral Base system!

    Any help would be appreciated!

    See you soon,.

  • EliteBook 8560w: 8560w w / external projector does not not under Linux or Windows 8.1

    I recently bought an Elitebook 8560w opportunity and installed 8.1 for WIndows and Linux in a dual-boot configuration.  Using the laptop for weeks caused no problems at all.

    I used the display port on the screen on a TV 720 p to Samsung to mirror, so the kids can play games and it works perfectly, but when I try to connect to a home theater receiver as a passage to a projector 1080 p, the projected screen turn black for a few seconds, and then correctly show the desktop. This trend will continue indefinitely.

    I hooked it goes back to the 720 p TV and it works perfectly.  The problem exists in Linux and Windows.  I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled a different version in each operating system.

    Ideas?

    The Elitebook works and no hardware or software problem.

    You may need to have an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter since signal must pass the home theater receiver.

  • BSOD Atikmpag.sys Elitebook 8560w ati m5950

    Hi all

    I have problems with my Elitebook 8560w. I get the BSOD on startup all the time, when the login screen appears in windows 7. (atikmpag.sys)

    I have tried several things but I can't solve it, the laptop cannot start up if I use the standard vga driver.

    Things I've tried:

    Fresh install Windows 7 x 64, Windows 7 x 86, Windows XP x 64, Windows XP x 86

    Tried all versions of BIOS

    Tried all versions of drivers for video card, both HP and Ati with fres installs Windows.

    It's getting boring, please help me.

    Where can I get the latest version of the video Bios for my m5950? Who can solve my problem.

    Hello hlaca20. I understand that you have a problem with the blue screens that often occur during startup. Is this correct?

    You've tried quite a few steps to solve the problem. I think that the combination of the BIOS update, fresh install multiple operating systems and fresh drivers excluded the majority of software problems. Have you tried to test your equipment?

    If you have not deleted the partition of HP_Tools you can use the built-in tools that provides HP. You should test your memory and the hard disk to determine whether there are problems.

    This document describes how to run the hard drive test. Simply repeat the steps in selection of memory the second time to test the RAM.

    I'm waiting for your answer; have a great day!

  • On the hardware upgrades on EliteBook 8560w

    Hello. Can I use the HP 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM hard drive(L3M56AA) or only the HP 256 GB SSD M.2 2260 PCIe drive(L3M57AA) to upgrade my laptop. Thank you!

    Hello

    According to the specifications, you can use both.

    In two specifications, mobile HP workstations ZBook 14/15/17 is showed, in your 8460w only in L3M57AA.

    The official info suggests parts are:

    750 GB, 7200 RPM 633252-001
    500 GB, 7200 RPM 634926-001
    320 GB, 7200 rpm, Self white 626978-001
    320 GB, 7200 RPM 641672-001

    Disc SSD of 256 GB 653435-001
    Disc SSD of 128 GB 653434-001

    Your laptop will lose the battery with 1 TB of HDD.

    I propose to use the low capacity of HDD/SSD and buy a due external HARD disc is better to keep out portable (personal) data for security proposal, HDD can fail, notebook might be stollen...

    Summary: The best solution isn't HP 256 GB SSD M.2 2260 PCIe drive(L3M57AA) and external HARD drive (SSD)

  • memory of HP elitebook 8440p upgrade question

    Hi all

    I have a quick question today, in fact I have a Hp Elitebook 8440p with core i5 and 2 GB of ram (samsung 2rx8 pc3-10600).

    and I am running windows 7 x 64 bit.

    so I decided to upgrade memory up to 8 GB and I install 2 x 4 GB (matched pair) (hynix 1rx8 pc3-10600). but it does not work. won't start and loop. and if I put original samsung 2GB new then its job well...

    I tried several times with all possible combinations, but it does not work. and if I go to the bios Setup, it shows 8 GB memory installed in it but can't get thorugh inside.

    I wonder what the problem of 2rx8 and 1rx8? because my old 2rx8 obtained original and new obtained 1rx8 on that...

    I'm really worried about it... Please help me soon... Thanks in advance

    I can't say 100% for sure, but yes, I think that the number of chips of memory to the Board of Directors may indicate density.

    The symptoms you describe indicate a problem of density to a "t".

    Memory shows in the BIOS, but the PC refuses to work with her.

    I suggested this to several others and cause when they bought the memory of lower density with 16 chips to the Board of Directors, their problem has been resolved.

  • EliteBook 8440p: elitebook 8440p upgrade of windows 10 mess with boot

    Hello!

    I bought a refurbished elitebook 8440p with pre-installed windows 7, 8 GB of RAM, 2.40 GHz processor.  I continued to refuse the upgrade of windows 10 when he constantly jumped upward and then one day I turned on the computer and it updated in any cases without permission.

    Since the upgrade, if I shut down my computer, or try to put in standby or Hibernate mode, when I go to wake up or put on, I always get a white screen. In general, I have to turn power several times on and off until any startup screen. Then half of the time, when I get a splash screen, my cursor is stuck at the top of the page, moving only left or right whenever I try to move it. So I have to turn and turn until a new screen is displayed.

    I studied how to remove 10 windows and reinstall windows 7. I passed the period of 10 days or 30 days. Media creation tool asks for the product key which I type in the sticker on the bottom of the laptop, but do not pass the verification process saying to contact the manufacturer for help.  Apparently there may be specific drivers or something you took when it improved and the media tool does not allow me to create anything for me to do a clean reinstall of windows 7.

    I tried to find an option after pressing esc at the f11 reset start screen. There was no option to do so. The best I could do was to 'reset' of the computer, but he took back to the original Windows that it is firstly set at level 10 to. All my files are deleted from the computer. I just want to return to Windows 7, but could not find an effective way to do it.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.
