HP Envy m6-015dx: downgraded to window 7 Pro

• Microsoft Windows 8 PRO Downgrade to Windows 7 PRO

  Greetings,

  This post is more than a complaint about Microsoft INABILITY to support its biggest business customers, in the hope that someone at Microsoft will really help me, instead of giving me the evasive that was given to me for the last 3 days...

  I bought 100 Dell Vostro MT270 i3 Machines. All came with pre-installed Windows 8 PRO...

  We have problems with Internet Explorer 9 and above with our Cloud National environment in which Microsoft Axapta 2012 runs.

  Over the 3 days I tried to get in on the good service in Microsoft ranks to eventually get the product key of Windows 7 PRO for these OEM installed machines. I even offered to provide supporting documents (invoices and delivery as proof of my purchase slips)

  Every department I got through where was forwarded to, listened to my story and informed me that I needed to talk to another Department.

  Finally, this afternoon I decided to call Microsoft States in the hope of some kind of miracle... Instead, I lost 40 minutes of international calls from South Africa to be told that I had to talk to the Department of volume licensing for OEM pre-installed Machines?

  Finally, after that be go asked me for our partner number or software assurance.

  Unfortunately for me, our group Enterprise Architect was not available to give me this info. Furthermore, I was not ready to waste any more time or money on call international USA.

  I read on the Net that to downgrade from Windows 8 PRO to Windows 7 PRO I need my own media (check), and a Windows 7 product key to complete install (check).

  The problem here is I can't use a product key Windows 7 PRO currently in use on a work machine, and I have certainly not 100 old Windows 7 PRO Machines...

  All I need is that Microsoft provide me 100 license keys for this downgrade or a unique product key I can activate 100 times.

  It's really not that complicated a situation, however everyone I talked to has made it seem like they must move heaven and Earth to assist me.

  This isn't how you support your customers Microsoft!

  If there is someone who can help me with my problem please reply...

  The best person to contact about this would be great reseller account which installer of your Microsoft volume license agreement.

• HP ENVY 15-J104SL - DOWNGRADE TO WINDOWS 7

  I am a system integrator and therefore a very expert user.

  I bought a notebook HP Envy 15-104SL. This NB have 8 pre-installed Windows.

  I have a lot of planning application that will work with Windows 8 so I have to downgrade to Windows 7

  I've read thousands of messages, but I can't solve my problem:

  I put the BIOS with Secure Boot disabled AND Legacy Support active

  I tried to install Windows 7 with a DVD 64 bit OEM licenze, but the installer doesn't recognize any hard disk intalled.

  Also, I downloaded driver from intel smart technology and I have customized a DVD with this driver, but the answer is the same. No disc found

  How can I make the downgrade? Can I install an other bios more advanced?

  I have to prepare the DVD with another technique?

  Thanks for the replies

  You are the very welcome.

  Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

  The laptop can not read the flash drive is because there is no USB 2 port and until it is installed in the USB3 ports are pretty useless.

  Is there a BIOS setting to allow the USB3 ports act as ports "legacy"?

• Downgrade to Windows XP Pro Sp2, x 86 Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  I tried, but I have not simply can't work with Windows Vista. I have to downgrade to Windows XP.

  I have a new laptop HP HDX X18t with a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz processor (with the last correspondent chipset Intel?)
  4 GB ram ddr3
  Hewlett-Packard Bios F.20, 05/01/2008
  SM Bios version 2.4
  Hardware Abstraction Layer version = "6.0.6002.18005".

  It has the configuration of the hard drive dual option factory. I have removed the C: plant and it will save way later. I then moved
  the 2nd hard drive to the place where the used to be C:. Set startup to boot from the dvd drive for a cool XP with sp2 install.
  This laptop keeps me to install Windows XP, XP sp2, XP with sp3, XP even with Vista Theme.
  I have the factory supplied Vista Home Premium 64-bit dvd disc, and Yes, this will install flawlessly from start to finish
  without ANY problem at all. Hard drives are sata2. I tried to install XP with versions with special sata drivers
  included in the installation cd. No go. Even made several versions of XP sp2 with "simplified" in sata drivers
  the installation cd. Same thing. No go. (no go = blue screen of death)

  Here is the error message (blue screen of death) which continues to appear on all attempts of my XP installs.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to avoid damage
  on your computer.

  If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
  Restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
  the following steps:

  Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed
  hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive
  to make sure that it is correctly configured and completed.
  Run CHKDSK /F to check the alteration of the hard drive, then
  Restart your computer.

  Technical information:
  Stop: 0x0000007b (0xf78d2524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  Well, at least I know the hard drive is properly configured and completed, cause the Vista
  OS settle easily and quickly with no problems. 64 and 32-bit
  any Vista os will install very easily and quickly on this laptop.
  I really don't want or intend to play with the bios, cause I could finish with a fried motherboard.
  I will listen to any solution/suggestion of someone who can help me with installing XP.
  Thank you in advance.

  YES.  He does eventually.

  I managed to install Windows XP Professional with SP2

  and pilots simplified sata attached on the installation disc.

  I used nLite correctly before, reson for repeated failures

  with the installation of XP.  Now working on pilots.

  Thank you VERY, VERY MUCH for the help.  You the man.

• Windows 7 Pro non-authentique after downgrade from Windows 10 Pro full.

  So I've upgraded to Windows Pro 10 for a full version of Windows 7 Pro. I've stuck with 10 windows for a few days and decided to downgrade. After he was done, Windows came with a message saying that I could be a victim of "Windows 7 Pro not being authentic" or something like that. He says I have 'Build' 7601. The computer I bought came with a key, but it's a full version when I got although it came with a recovery disk. Is there a way to fix this?

• Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of Windows XP pro 32 bit

  Hello

  I have a desktop running windows 7 pro 64-bit, but need to switch to windows XP pro 32-bit as I has an electronic Development Council which is not easily compatible with this version.  I understand from licensing that as I Pro I would be entitled to downgrade, this applies to the downgrading to 32-bit as well.  If it's ok where can I download some ISO Windows XP pro 32 course and it's just a case of putting my windows 7 inside product key?

  Hello

  Until you, ensure that you will have drivers for your hardware + devices on x 86 XP. If this isn't the case, I wouldn't do the downgrade you will have many problems.

  Did you first try to run the program in compatibility?

  Kind regards

  Anyone know if you can downgrade the HP ENVY DV6 7210ei to Windows 7.

  Hello:

  It should be pretty easy to do.

  Just use the W7 64 bit drivers since the dv7t-7000.

  DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=5273735&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&task=

  Make your first W8 recovery media set before installing W7, in case something goes wrong or you want to reinstall W8.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

  You will also need to change a setting in the BIOS to be able to install and run W7 64-bit on your laptop.

• Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro - need my Lic Key

  Help

  I bought an Omni27 about a year ago and its been ok except for the Windows8 OS. It is not practical on a desktop for me.

  My problem is the following:

  I need my license key Professional Windows8 for current installation to Microsoft which has a program to give you a key Win7 Pro in Exchange if you HATE Windows8. WHERE IS THE KEY!

  Here's what I did:

  (1) MS said to call for the cause of the seller, they have a record of the unit being the OEM installation

  (2) I called HP support and they said that they do not support the downgrades. I explained everything and with an Indian accent, I was told tursely that they do not support the downgrades. I explained once again, I ask you to help me downgrade, I want just the key to lic or know where it is anywhere on the PC. They are like drones idot... Nothing

  So I decided to start in win8 one last time, MS to enter the system remotely, and the fish on my lic key then send me the new KEY. I hope this works.

  If anyone has a better way to address the issue made me know. I put in a new HD and install Win7 clean and keep my old drive to migrate data to.

  The computer was delivered without much documentation. Unlike my Dell PC that come with stickers for the OS and other DVD media with docs, HP was skinny to almost zero!

  Hello

  The key is in the BIOS. The following tool will help:

• Downgrade to Windows XP Pro

  I was given my current my former employer's computer when it goes bankrupt and it has Windows Vista Business. I can't put updated (Microsoft support team to try to understand why) and therefore cannot install some programs I want.

  I prefer XP Pro on Vista anyway and would like to put XP Pro on this machine. I have several copies of a XP Pro, but when I put the discs in the installation, the button is dimmed and it won't let me install it.

  I'm ready to re - format if necessary, after saving all my important files, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

  Question 1: Can I install XP Pro on this machine without having to reformat?

  Question 2: If question 1 is not possible, can I repartition my hard disk, keep everything I have now on one partition and then install XP Pro on the other partition?
