  HP dear supporters,

  I have a HP ENVY x 360 laptop with Win 8.1 operating system. He writes that plugged in, not charging. This laptop has a non-removable battery. I read the forums and advice but neither solved my problem.

  I tried to close, plug off, wait, plug in, turn on, without result.

  I also tried to uninstal in Device Manager the baterries, then restart the laptop, without result.

  I also tried the fix for the problem with HP Support Assistant, digitization of the battery and he writes that my battery is ok, but then "unknown".

  I tried to download updates, no results due to "unknown".

  I'm not able to solve the problem of my laptop and I wouldl ike to ask for your help.

  I await your response.

  Kind regards

  I bought a refurb unit. He came "upgraded to win 10 64.  But there is no win 7 files to restore.  I have a new win 7 64 pro license. On the CD.   How can I install and lose 10 WIN.  I want to have anything to with win 10 in the computer.

  I have the same computer with win 7 pro 64 installed. I have raid 1 disks.  If I removed the drive in the new computer and installed one of my raid drives which would solve the problem?

  I'll have one connected to the internet and the other will have my critical files and will not have internet capability.

• Envy 14 CTO will not shut, forces hard stop, after the upgrade to win 10 anniversary

  After a long wait in Win 10 the Envy 14 finally began to sleep and shut down properly. As soon as the update of the anniversary has been installed, we went back to the questions of the soul. System not completely stops and freezes to force a hard reboot, after that the restart that he stop or sleep is selected manually. If the system can accommodate on its own, then it is more closed or sleep without rebooting.

  Course on all drivers and troubleshooting power back shortly to all default values.

  Hello

  Try the following.

  Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

  In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close the open windows and restart the laptop.

  When windows has reloaded, download the driver directly from Intel IMEI on the following link, unzip the and run the installer.

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/26127/Intel-management-engine-consumer-driver-for-Intel-nu...

  Once the installation is complete, restart the laptop.

  When the machine rebooted, re - activate the quick start and restart the computer once more - let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking.

• HP Envy M6: My HARD drive is not bad on my computer? I have reloaded Win 8 and upgraded to Win 8.1 but he keeps crashing

  Hi need help and answers from an expert!

  My HP Envy M6 Recenly has stopped working correctly, so I decided to recover as soon as possible.  She still had the same problems, so I decided to restore factory with recovery USB flash drive I did.  Always had the same problem happens after I rebooted 8 Win and improved to 8.1.  It would work for a few minutes and stop working I used chkdsk and it says it fixed a few problems with the drive.

  I went through the same steps another 3 times!  After each time that once I had that he would be running again after a clean reinstall.  I would like to run chkdsk and it looks like he fixed some error, but last time, it wouldn't or couldn't find some files to run and crashed.  I tried loading Acronis and tried to reinstall the backup from there but that also failed to correct the problem.  I came to the conclusion that my HD is physically wrong?

  I guess the recovery process would reformat the partitions before you reinstall so it's not a logic error (software)?  From the recovery partition, the recovery Flash disk media and recovery software acronis can fix this, I can only assume, there is a problem with the drive itself?

  Is there a way to check this?  I don't mind replacing the drive to a SSD, so this isn't a problem, but I can't seem to find a product key.  Nothing printed on the bottom.  I read somewhere that it is now integrated with the motherboard bios so can I just use the recovery media that I did on a flash drive?

  Also, I have my backup file but I could never find the location of the image my wife loaded as the photo of "lock" screen which I do not have a copy of.  I have the backup files for windows 8.1 by Acronis and according to me, a Windows backup file on a backup drive, but I was wondering if these "locked screen hidden image" would be held somewhere in these data?  It is not under the images and I have never been able to find or understand where windows keeps this image.  I used the search without success.

  Of course, this is not critical, but I hate losing this particular image.  I hope it's keep somewhere in my back upward and when restoring with a new drive hard I can reload the backup and restore.

  So I really ned knowledge step by step: my HD is bad?  How can I check without having to spend hours to reload only to fail?

  Why chkdisk does not?  Or should I simply replace HD and if so what can I use the new disk recovery media and product ID will be accessible through the motherboard?

  I intend to upgrade to win 10, but I need Win 8 loading first, then move to 8.1 then move to Win 10?  Also in the future if it crashes how can I recover to win 10? Since it is free now but will not be later.  The upgrade will allow me to make a copy (a copy) to win 10?

  A lot of questions, but please provide the fastest solution to my problems and concerns.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello fmhawaii ;
  
  I read your post on your PC crashing and wanted to help.

  It certainly seems that your hard drive has failed.  Some PC allows the drive to check in the BIOS: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

  If that confirms that the disc is bad, then you will need to replace it.

  As for activation, you are right in that, with Win8x machines, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware, however, the instructions in this link, show you how to recover: find product - key for Windows 8

  When you restore from recovery media, which is supposed to automatically read product key, so you will not have to enter something to activate reinstall it.  My guess is that the drive problems that prevented from happening.

  Acronis allows you to mount an image file by using a drive letter, and once you do this, you should then be able to browse through the content to find the file you want.  However, depending on what part of the logon icon changed, it might be embedded image in a Windows system file, and unless there is a separate copy of this image, it will be very difficult to recover.  IF you Google it, you might be able to find downloadable tools for disassembly of this file and subseuent extraction of this file.

  I wouldn't hurry to Win10, but if you choose to follow this path, don't forget to make a new advance Acronis backup, then you can return to a system of Win8x of work if something is wrong - as the Win10 GoBack function is known to be unreliable.
  
  Good luck

• HP ENVY at Quad Win 7 bluetooth adapter

  Hello

  I have problems to activate BlueTooth on my new HP ENVY 15 t Quad with Win 7 Pro 64 installed OS.

  The laptop is equipped with a card 802.11b/g/n WLAN [1 x 1], Device Manager indicates this device as a 8188EE Realtek RTL 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter. Apparently (Internet sources) this map is compatible Bluetooth.

  However - Device Manager tilts not Bluetooth and I can't find how to activate Bluetooth on this laptop, Wi - Fi, very good - but not Bluetooth functions.

  So:

  8188EE Realtek RTL supports BlueTooth?

  If so, how can I activate it?

  Thanks, if I wouldn't contact the support to do this.

  Yep, that is...

• HP dv6 Envy: how to stop the automatic installation of 8.1 to win on HP Envy laptop?

  My laptop HP Envy has automatic update downloaded to Win 8.1. He saysit will install on the next reboot. How to stop this instsall?

  I didn't upgrade because I read several reviews that said if you didn't have a touch screen that you would have difficulties to navigation in some applications. What apps not said.

  What you say makes no sense and I question the validity of these comments.  Update to Windows 8.1 will do more good than harm.  Very few people who have updated have experienced problems, so comments to keep your receipt no logic.

  Here's something you can do.  Download Macrium reflect free and create a hard disk image on an external hard drive, don't forget to create the rescue disk.  Once done, update your system to 8.1.  If you have any problems, then you will be OK.  If it doesn't work or you have problems you can restore the backup of the image on your system that will put the computer to Windows 8 with no ill effects.  An image backup of your system from time to time is the best thing you can do.  You will have no problems with the help of recovery disks, reinstalling programs and data.  Many people use this method and have no regrets.

  Your laptop of HP ENVY 17-j150ca is basically the same as my computer laptop HP ENVY 15 t-j100 CTO, only bigger. You will need to provide the Intel AHCI / RAID drivers during the first part of the installation. Please download "f6flpy-x 64.zip" of Intel Download Center. Expand this and place the file/folder on a USB key. Then;

  (1) DISABLE "Secure starting" and ACTIVATE the standby mode 'legacy' in the BIOS. Save and EXIT

  (2) enter code as it is necessary to recognise the change

  (3) reboot and press 'ESC' and then 'F9' when prompted. Select "UEFI - CD/DVD" or "UEFI - USB key... and boot from the DVD of Windows 7 SP1 or a USB key.
  4) click install now
  (5) to accept the license agreement
  (6) when the option to select an installation type, click (custom)

  (7) there will be a link called it loads drivers, insert the USB stick with the Intel AHCI / RAID drivers, select the USB and it should load the appropriate driver.

  (8) continue the installation by following all the guests... BE SURE TO SELECT THE PARTITION NOT USED FOR INSTALLATION

  Good luck

  Most of the Windows 7 drivers for the TouchSmart from HP ENVY 17 t-j100 CTO Notebook PC drivers of Quad Edition page should work on your computer.

  I would use minitool partition manager to clone the disk partition & 100 MB windows C if your installation.

  Works well in general & used for this task a lot. Use the partiton options rather than SSD clone will enable driving a complete copy of all of the source to the target SSD. Don't delete anything since! TB until what you tested SSD clone A1.

• ENVY of HP dv7 w / Win 8.1 freezes after the closing and re-opening of lid

  Computer: HP dv7 ENVY

  Processor: Intel Core i7-3820 QM 2.7 GHz

  OS: Windows 8.1

  Graphics Card & Driver: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M (worm 331.82)

  Since the passage of Win 8.0 to 8.1, my laptop does not respond to the new entry after the closing and reopening of the cover.  As an attempt to circumvent the problem, in Control Panel (Control Panel > hardware and sound > Power Options > System Settings) I selected 'doing nothing' for preferences "when I close the lid.  After having opened the lid, tab browser fail to loa, windows cannot be enabled/disabled and CTRL-ALT-DEL gives no answer (preventing access to even the Task Manager).  The computer must be restarted to continue in force.

  This solution seems to have worked, even if I do not know why the four actions that were "resolved" by the resolution of the problems of power would cause the issue.
