HP Pavilion 17-e106ed - key Windows 8.1 for Win7?

Hello

I just bought this laptop as a portable computer backup. 8.1 Windows comes pre-installed with all laptops for bloatware usually comes. Unfortunately, I have some software I need and is not compatible with 8.1. Can I use the key to this downgrade in Widnows 7? Thanks for the help in advance.

Hello:

There is no right of demotion for your model of W7.

You can buy a full OEM or W7 license retail for your laptop computer in order to install W7.

Product W8.1 key that is encrypted in the BIOS will not work with W7.

  • Pavilion 1301tx g6: 10 windows upgrade compatibility

    First of all, I really want to try the new windows 10. I use windows 7 Professional for hp pavilion 1301tx g6 and it's grahics driver amd hd 7450 m. My question is if I upgrade my laptop for windows 10, will be this driver it is necessary for the new operating system? Let me rephrase the question, can I get the graphics driver to my laptop for windows 10? Ireally wantto besure as to its compatibility. With my other laptop sony vaio, I tried to install the new os and I get BSD. They (CC) said the graphics driver is not compatible, but when I click on the logo of small windows on the bar he spots says your pc is compatible. This time I really want to be sure as to its compatibility. Please help me in this matter.

    @SBKH: Unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 driver for your device. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

    If that does not do anything, you should read this another link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-6000-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5048664/model/5077076/document/c04758308/

    If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293

    If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

    Also... If you want to test the upgrade, then before doing this, consider using a third-party application Imaging/restoration as Macrium Reflect to image your machine off so that you can easily restore it if something does not work.  And don't count on the Win10 GoBack function back on Win7, it is not reliable and can leave your computer in a damaged state.

    Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    Good luck

  • 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

    Jose Herrera

    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 dv7-4180: upgrade Windows 7 to 8

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4180 using Windows 7.  I bought a Windows 8 of Microsoft and the Bill says:

    "Earn 8 32-bit/64-bit English VUP DVD."

    Online Microsoft provides this statement (quoted):

    «Download and install Windows 8.1 to Windows 7»
    1. sign in to your Microsoft account
    2. in the menu of left, click downloads, subscriptions and product key
    3. find your purchase Windows 8.1, and then click Download
    4. If a dialog box appears, click Run to start the installation
    5 follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation of Windows 8.1 "

    Before thiis upgrade, is there advice that I should follow to avoid an honest mistake?  For example, losing a feature because of the upgrade?

    You can do this and see if there are drivers that manufacturing has to W8 for that specific material. But you should check the site driver from HP for your P/N and see whether they have or W8 drivers list. Don't forget the older laptop after 2012, the chances of HP with W8 drivers will be slim to none since they do not include support for older hardware.

    My request is: how to install Windows 7?

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
