HP Envy 700-430qe: question to downgrade HP Envy 700-430qe operating system

This computer came with windwos 8.1 and to be honest, I hate it.  This model can downgrade to windows 7 if I have a few copies of this House, or can I get a HP disc with this system and drivers and what not... sent my bigest most question is are there drivers for this material available for windows 7 for this computer.

J6N60AAR is the spicific product number.

HP has no Windows 7 drivers for this unit.  Make them can be a challenge.

Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media before doing anything.

Update the BIOSon your PC and get your PC stable if need be.

You have a PC delivered W8.  Did you check with HP and see if you have downgrade rights?

Consult this publication of the article.

If you still wish to go forward with Windows 7, then you can get the drivers of thissimilar model.

No guarantee that they will work.

Be careful when using Windows 7 disks that you have around your House.  If the license key has been used on other computers, then you will not be able of their.  A key, a single computer.

Instead of going through what do not make look like Windows 7:

    My goal is to create two virtual servers from MS Windows 2008 Std 64 bit on the server of VMWare or ESXi installable. I bought Windows 2008 Std, 11 (a phyiscal and a virtual) licenses.

    Its one of these licenses MS issues, but it relates to virtualization because you intend to virtualize it so here's the guide, you can check http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/C/A/FCAB58A9-CCAD-4E0A-A673-88A5EE74E2CC/Windows_Server_2008_Virtual_Tech-VL_Brief-Jan_09.docx and the best way to check is to call MS support for free since MS tends to change they licenses positions often is the only way to ensure that its accuracy.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 GB: Questions on downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 GB and I want to downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

    + I install XP using nlite. +

    1. I have 2 partitions and I would like to know if my other partition (not the one with the operating system) will be also well formatted?

    2. I have Vista Bios. Should I change it to XP? And if so when do I need to do.

    Thank you!!!

    Hello

    The original CD of Microsoft Windows XP provides an option to modify, create or delete partitions on the HARD disk.
    If during the XP installation procedure, you should be able to install XP on a single partition. Other partitions will not be formatted!

    With regard to the BIOS:
    You could update the BIOS after installing XP.
    The laptop must run also without the update of the BIOS.

    But from my knowledge the FN keys would work using the operating system XP and Vista BIOS. So if you need to use all the features of the laptop, the BIOS update would be desirable.

    Hello

    If possible, try to update the BIOS first, and then reinstall the operating system.

    I think you also need download all drivers Toshiba XP before installing XP on this OS. Without the LAN or WLan you will not be able to connect to internet ;)

    Can be downgraded to Windows XP?
    And is there a CD/DVD which can be purchased or obtained from Toshiba, to automate the recovery process?

    Hey Buddy

    The laptop can be downgraded to Windows XP. This is possible and I recommend checking out some threads here in the forum about this procedure.
    In addition, I agree with the user above; the recovery disc can be ordered with the same Windows operating system that has been preinstalled on your laptop; in your case Vista.

  • Question about the operating system reinstall on Portege R500

    I bought the version of 64SSD R500, and for some reason any that it struck me to check if there was a DVD player to this topic.

    It was rather annoying.

    I know it's easy to buy an external drve to copy software etc on the Portege, so this isn't so bad.

    However, I'm considering a re - install, possibly to XP, but maybe just to reduce the amount of repulsive of bloatware I had on my computer when I turned on.

    Now to the crux of the matter: if I use an external USB drive, I need USB drivers. If I delete the operating system, which will remove the drivers.

    Finally, my question is: how in the name of hell is someone supposed to put a new installation in a R500?

    Thank you for your patience.

    I understand everything up to the point with the bloatware.

    But what I Don t understand is: what do you want with a USB hard drive? I hope that you don t average a USB - HDD (it s a bit confusing). ;)

    Usually, you can use all the drives without the need of some drivers because the machine offers you the ability to boot from a USB device after switching on of the machine and see the Toshiba logo...
    You need only press F12 and select the option to boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive. That's all.

  • Possible to downgrade the operating system?

    Hello experts,

    My Macbook is a 13 "early 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.0). I have 6 GB of RAM (recently installed the last 2 GB).  Currently, the operating system is OS X 10.11.3.  I think that since this OS has been installed (a few months ago) the machine has slowed down considerably.  "Outputs page" is almost always up.  I re - often starts to get "page outs" to reset, but they will soon get back to the top.  Almost any process bothers me a lot of activity "beachball".  My main use for this computer uses iPhoto to show slide shows to various groups (I have not found that the Photos should be for various reasons).

    I know that this is considered a 'old' machine, but since it is my secondary computer I would not spend the money on a complete replacement.  Is it possible to go back to an earlier version of Mac OS X? That could accelerate or put less strain on, this Macbook?  If I could go back to 10.10 or 10.9 How would I do it?

    Thank you

    Your computer will be not a faster were no you downgrade OS X. There's nothing wrong with El Capitan. Page Outs increase because you don't have enough RAM and try to run too many processes simultaneously.

    If you want to demote to an increase in performance, and then wipe the drive and install Snow Leopard.

    Hello

    Recovery media, I am referring to disks (or flash drive) that you create yourself using the Recovery Media Creator application on your laptop - you can create it once, so I would definitely recommend to do.  A guide on the creation of this support can be found on the following link.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-envy-X2-11/5296226/model/5336701/document/c03481733

    This support will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, all the original software (including applications on the start menu). They will also recreate all the original scores.  A guide on the main ways to perform a factory reset using a recovery or support of the partition recovery (including a video preview) can be found on the link below.

Help me, it will be dangerous for my system? I got to know after installing microsoft office 2010, this error is coming, so help me

    Hi Gaby,.

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand from the description of the problem that you receive an operating system not found error message on the Windows 7 computer.

    I understand this must be frustrating, but don't worry, we're here to help and guide you in the right direction.

    This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

    a. the basic input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard drive.

    b. the hard disk is damaged.

    c. sector 0 of the physical disk has an incorrect or malformed master boot (MBR) record.

    Note Some third-party programs or alteration of the disk can damage an MBR.

    d. an incompatible partition is marked as Active.

    e. a partition which contains the MBR is no longer active.

    Try these methods.

    Method 1

    I suggest that you update the basic input/output system (BIOS) to the last version by contacting the manufacturer of your motherboard or computer and check if it works.

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    BIOS: Frequently asked questions

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you perform repair system on the computer and check if it works.

  • ESXi Hypervisor - start of the guest on the question of booting operating system

    Hi all

    I am very new to the game of VMware and I intend to start playing with free products available and to acquire a good understanding of it.

    My question that I have currenty obtained is:

    I have my desktop PC, I intend to install 5.1 ESXi hypervisor on it and then install a version of windows as a guest operating system.

    I hope that I can set up so that when I turn on the computer, windows automatically boots - so if my wife wants to use the computer, it can still, and his experience is no different. However, I can then install several other OS and turn them as and when I need and have a good game.

    Reading through the documentation that it doesn't look like this is possible?

    I know that this is not strictly the destination of the product, but it would be convenient for me.

    Has anyone encountered this before? / You know a way to do this?

    Thank you very much

    Tom Whittle

    Welcome to the community - it is possible to have a virtual machine to run at startup of the ESXi Hypervisor but where your solution falls short is you are not able to access the virtual machines in the ESXi host console - you still need another machine to run the vSphere client so you can manage the ESXi host and access the virtual machine.
