• HP Pavilion 15-au063nr: Downgrade rights with HP Pavilion 15-au063nr

  I buy this model pré-livré with Windows 10.  I want to downgrade to Windows 7 Pro.  Is this possible via the Microsoft downgrade rights?  If so, how can I get a windows product key 7.

  Thank you

  Hello

  First: No, you don't go to Windows 7 Pro because your machine has Windows 10 64 Home pre-installed:

  http://support.HP.com/za-en/product/HP-Pavilion-15-au000-notebook-PC-series/10862158/document/c05226670

  Then: You must follow the process from the following link:

  Microsoft: Your case is not available.

• HP PAVILION 15-ab115la: Pavilion 15-ab115la: Downgrade Windows 10

  Hello

  Last week, I bought a new HP Pavilion, it included 10 windows.

  I used to work with Windows 7 and I'would like to downgrade 10 Windows to Windows 7, is it possible? y at - it a disvantages?

  Is useful to mention that I have a legal key for Windows 7.

  Additional, I know that the Windows 10 key is "embedded" in the BIOS, so if I downgrade to Windows 7, then return to Windows 10, the value of the key will not be required because it's inside the BIOS?

  Or should I get the value with a tool?

  Thank you

  I used to work with Windows 7 and I'would like to downgrade 10 Windows to Windows 7, is it possible? y at - it a disvantages?

  You're not really downgrading, because Microsoft "Downgrade rights" apply only to Windows Pro/Business. You simply install another version of Windows on your computer. Yes, it's possible! Yes, there are drawbacks... like the lack of support of the HP drivers

  Is useful to mention that I have a legal key for Windows 7.

  You will need to use a key of unused valid PID and COA legally install Windows 7 on your new PC.

  Additional, I know that the Windows 10 key is "embedded" in the BIOS, so if I downgrade to Windows 7, then return to Windows 10, the value of the key will not be required because it's inside the BIOS? Or should I get the value with a tool?

  Using the HP recovery media you create before changing anything on the computer... you should have no problem to return the computer to a factory State, if you wish.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Pavilion 23-b239: downgrade to Windows 7

  Hi all, I bought my mother a 23-b239 Pavilion all in one office.
  She can not just get used to Windows 8.

  I would really know if it is possible to downgrade to Windows 7, and if someone could
  kindly tell me:

  • A profile of my hardware information
  • Where can I get the drivers I need.

  Thank you very much in advance!

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  This computer is a model of consumption with no Pro Windows 8 version, there is no right to demotion. First, you will need to purchase a valid copy of Windows 7 with a product key and COA. You also need to ENABLE 'Secure Boot' and maybe 'Legacy Support' in the 'BIOS Setup boot secured' on the settings page below, before you try to install Windows 7;

  

  or

  

  Also, as the hard disk can be partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  Please report to the Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all devices missing or unknown, as shown in the example below.

  

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Pavilion 15-AB044SA: Downgrade from Windows 8.1 to windows 7 on HP Pavilion 15-AB044SA

  I just branch a refurbished HP 15-AB044SA comes with preinstalled Windows 8.1. I'm not a fan of the operating system and want to downgrade to windows 7. Could you please guide me to the decommissioning?

  And I have the same funcitionality in the laptop running Windows 7 as Windows 8.1? Is it possible to keep the same license OS currently on the laptop?

  Thanks in advance,

  If the reason why you don't like Win8x is the lack of a desktop and start menu, consider downloading and installing ClassicShell.  This will give the look-and-feel of Win7 back - and it's FREE!

  As for Win7, there are drivers HP to Win7 for your PC: http://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771366/model/8255011

  If this page does not display Win7 when you open it, then click on edit and select Windows 7 from the menu drop down.

  As for the feature, Yes, you will have the same functionality in Win7 you have in Win8x - just a different user interface.

  There is no 'path of decommissioning' to Win7. Instead, you'd have to do is to boot from Win7 installation media and install it on top of Win8.  This means that you will lose all existing applications, the parameters and the data of the user in the process.

  NO, we do not keep or use the same license.  Your PC came with HP OEM Win8 preinstalled, and that's what the license is for.  To install Win7, you will need to buy it and then activate it by using the product key that you receive with the purchase.  You can't buy this at HP, because he's not selling copies of Win7.

  But what you CAN do is to check with the HP customer service and see if they will sell you HP to Win7 for your PC recovery media.  It would cost much less go out and buy a copy of Win7 retail.

  If it installs automatically, great.

  If this isn't the case, close any windows error.

  Go to Device Manager and click the controller of encryption/decryption PCI needing drivers.

  Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.  Select her browse my computer for driver software method and find the folder of the driver that was created when you ran the file.

  This file will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp66899.

  Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and I hope that the driver will be installed.

  This driver contains the hardware ID for the device you are looking for.  I don't know if it will work with W7 or not...

• 17 - f260nb of Pavilion: Pavilion 17-f260nb downgrade win 8-7

  Hello

  I got a new laptop of 17-f260nb pavilion by leaving my old company.

  I went to the hardware store with her to have an installed SSD.

  I asked them not to install any OS, as I intend to install my own windows 7 dvd

  but of course, they went a little further and they install windows 8.1.

  I intend to give it to my father, who detects windows 8-way too difficult,

  and like all its other computers windows 7 is now the logical choice.

  I've managed to install windows 7, but need the right drivers.

  Can I use windows 8 drivers on the hp site? or anyone can report the correct drivers for me?

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  Peter.

  You are the very welcome.

  For the first unit, you need this driver...

  This package provides the HP 3D DriveGuard software (HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection) for the laptop models running a supported operating system. HP 3D DriveGuard software protects the drive hard by parking the heads if cell phone accidentally falls, or is suddenly struck by another object.

• HP pavilion 2777TU g6: downgrading Windows 10 to 8.1 showed a 0xc0000225 error. How to recover without data loss?

  I had upgraded to windows 10 8.1 about 20 days back, but now I don't like the outlook and my system also became slow so I thought to go back to windows 8.1. My laptop gives error 0xc0000225. Please help urgently.

  Kkss

  While Microsoft says there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when she fails, she can let machines in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!
  
  If this is not enough, the Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt partition recovery stored by the OEM that built the original machine. It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work.

  You should probably use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state, and you will have to order from HP.

  I'm under CPUID HWMonitor after having just bought a cooling pad but I don't know if the "temperature max" values are playing to my machine or are simply arbitrary.

  Also, am I correct that you do not know the speed of the fan on this model with any application of diagnostic or monitoring?
