HP Pavilion 15-p264na: upgrade of Windows 10 - recovery disk

I just bought this laptop with win 8.1 on. I want to upgrade to windows 10 and produce a recovery disk using the installation of HP, which cannot be done at once. The question is what to do first. I'm afraid that if I do first the disc, then I assume will only recover Windows 8.1, which means another upgrade to win 10, which then can no longer be available as a free update. If I do the first update, should I still the ability to produce a recovery disk? and if he will he recover to win 10?

Hello:

You must make the recovery W8.1 media now before moving on to W10.

It will only take up to W8.1, and no matter what you do, it will only retrieve W8.1 by using the HP tool to make the drive.

Upgrading to W10 has no effect on the change of the W8.1 recovery partition.  Only, it installs W10 on the C:\ drive and makes no other changes.

Here's how I see the second part of your concern (what concerns me too).

Like you said after next July, W10 is not free, what happens if you need to restore W10 or you get a new hard drive and you have to install everything.

First of all, after you upgrade to W10, in the tool settings > activation, you can check that W10 is enabled.

I'd say you need to reinstall W8.1 and then upgrade to W10 and when you go to turn it on going because he already know that W10 has been installed on the PC before.  Microsoft maintains a database of activation which should allow the PC to have W10 still for free.

You can make a W10 installation/repair ISO disk usb flash drive, or from the link below.

Another thing I did was to create a system image of the installation of the W10 and recorded on a portable hard drive.

I did use the tool to create system image (windows 7) in the W10 system control panel option.

My plan would be to try first before anything else.  You can use the installation/repair W10 disc that you create to access the system image that you create, and I hope that will save a lot of time and effort.

You can update the image of the system as many times as you want, and it will overwrite the existing image on the laptop hard drive.

But until next July comes and goes, we can only speculate what will be the result of having to reinstall the W10.

  • Windows password recovery disk

    I just created my windows password recovery disk in a usb flash drive. A file was generated "userkey.psw". What happens if I save the file somewhere safe and remove the file in the flash player. Later, it will work if I have forgotten my windows password?

    Help, please...

    Yes, you can do what you want.  The important thing to remember is that you must place the userkey.psw back in the folder root of any external hard drive in order to to use.  You can move back in position using another computer if necessary.  Where keep you so far is entirely to you.

    Consider writing the password in a safe place instead.  A disc of rest password does not reach anything other than writing that can get the password down.

  • Pavilion Slimline s3407c upgrade to Windows 7?

    I got this computer since 2007 and it works. Periodically, internal processes overwhelm the system and I can't work. I had to do the factory reset twice in seven years and was about to go to #3 this week, when the system itself fixed just with no help from my friends.

    -Is a common problem with Vista?

    -Would be upgraded to Windows 7 help or I open myself in a world of new problems?

    -J' followed support advise to disable "Load Startup items" on the config. Is it a long-term solution or that serve only as a troubleshooting tool?

    Thanks in advance!

    Your computer came with Windows Vista 32 - bit, it is actually able to run a 32-bit OS or 64-bit. As your computer comes with 2 GB of RAM, I recommend you stay with a 32-bit operating system. If you need to upgrade to 4 GB of RAM, I suggest using Windows 7 64 bit instead.

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

  • Pavilion DM1: Problems upgrading to Windows 10 on HP Pavilion DM1 Notebook

    The portable computer is currently running Windows 7 Professional, and I ran the upgrade of Windows 10.  It goes through the first installation and re - start and then on the second phase, when it is installing the drivers, it gets to 71% and restarts with a blue screen, I think that showing as TENT RUN OF No. EXECUTE MEMORY, but it is not very long, so I do not know and rolls to Windows 7.  I tried to disconnect external devices, try a clean boot, tried to update all the drivers, disable wifi and leaving on a single connection to the local network without success.  I managed to last updated desktop for Windows 10 with only a little difficulty even if Windows has decided the display driver is not compatible, so it is a real headache.

    Thank you. No, Kaspersky has not been installed, and I never installed it. Is used by McAfee, as sometimes it comes with Acrobat Reader? I installed once in an update and it removed immediately. Anyway, I found this file registered twice in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and in a subfolder, it was not related to any existing process so I removed it, tried the upgrade again and he completed this time. If for any other person having this problem find the name of the file after ATTEMPTED RUN OF No. EXECUTE the MEMORY when the blue screen appears, which is very short and then delete this file. In my case it was kl1.sys. It was not however reflected in the report which appeared after system restored to Windows 7. Problem solved.

  • Pavilion dm4 - 1201us: upgrade to Windows 10 with a computer that refuses to install Windows 7 SP1

    I would like to be able to update my old laptop W7 with W10, however, I am unable to do so, due to the fact that after replacing the hard drive, then allowing a 'grumpy' friend to manage the installation of the OS, I'm unable to install SP1 that is required for the free update.

    Any help?

    Other information: the laptop came originally with "Windows 7 Home Prem OA" but is now underway "Windows 7 Unlimate" and I have no recovery disk for the original W7 supplied with the machine.

    EDIT: Also, when I run Windows Update, SP1 or in a separate file, I get the same error. Here is a picture of the error of the SP1 folder.

    Unfortunately, it seems that your hacker friend installed an improved version of Windows 7 and now it is not authentic so it will not be updated.

    You can try the suggestions in this post from TechNet and see if you can correct it. I used your error message to find this info.

    If you are not successful this, then you should contact HP to get reinstall disks so that you can install the version of Windows 7 OEM. You will have to do all the updates, but it should be able to do.

    Unless you have an email or a packaging of retail with an improved version of Windows and a key, you will encounter this kind of problem. The version of your operating system must match the key you have.

    I want to know if it is possible to upgrade my Tecra M9 about RAM - memory? I think that I now have 2 GB.
    I also need to know if Toshiba sells a recovery disk to my computer with Windows 7, or do I have to buy a Windows 7 disc and serch for drivers on my own if I want to have the new operating system?

    Hello!

    I also put t know how much RAM have been mounted, but I checked the Tecra M9 user manual and it can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This means that you need two modules with specification of SO-DIMM DDR2 200pin for upgrade. In the user manual, you can find some information about it.

    On the issue of Windows 7, I think that Toshiba will not release a Windows 7 recovery disc because this model isn't Windows 7 supported:

    You can install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc but you will have to collect the drivers on different websites or other, you use the Vista drivers.

  • Upgrade to Windows 10 new disk when the Windows 7 hard drive does not

    I have a desktop HP with Windows 7 Pro and since last week, it will fail to start.   It seems that it is approaching, but everything does not end.    I would just buy a new SSD and upgrade to Windows 10.      I don't have Windows 7 installation floppies, but the license key is on the case of the office.      What are my options?   Hopefully I won't need to buy Windows because my hard drive has failed.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience and appreciate your interest for Windows 10.

    The license key of the operating system is integrated into the motherboard. To enable Windows 10 without facing any errors, you must activate the previous version of Windows with a valid license key, and then proceed to the upgrade.

    If you replace the SSD HARD drive, you must activate the previous Windows, i.e. Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 version, if it is a true copy as well as the activation key and then upgrade to Windows 10.

    Since you do not have an installation disc, I suggest to create one by downloading the ISO image of Windows 7 on a CD or USB key and check if you are able to download the operating system.

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home

    After downloading and installing Windows 7, upgrade to Windows media authoring tool10.

    Note: See the section on the use of the media creation tool from the link above for more information.

  • Satellite L300 - cannot enter Windows and recovery disk will not stand

    I tried to put my DVD of Vista I have for my other PC, but I have another error black screen...

    Can someone tell me what I can do now?

    Is it because I have a recovery CD for Windows Vista and not 7?
