HP Pavilion A4310F: Remove Windows 10 and reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium

I did a full install of Windows 10 yesterday and I did not all records or documents as I saved them to my external hard drive.

The problem that I ran was that my NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 has no update to win 10 and that it does not appear correctly.

My computer came with Windows 7 Home premium installed and I have the product key.

As I installed the full version on Windows 10, I can't get the computer to win 7.

I don't have a Windows 7 disc, when I bought the computer, so I need to know if I can download a copy of the Windows 7 Home Premium somewhere and use my current product key?

When the computer is again I did a set of recovery discs and I still have those... I don't know if they can help.

Any help or advice would be very helpful.  A download link would be useful as well.

Thank you in advace for your help.  Jim.

Yes the disks you did will be reinstall W7, disc 1 is bootable, then put it in the drive and restart the PC, when you see the Dell logo ESC key several times, then select your boot (cd-dvd-rom) device, it should now boot from disc 1 and start the recovery process, it is a long process, so be patient and don't do anything unless otherwise , it will restart on its own several times, do not interrupt the process.

When it is done with the recovery, there will be a screen to start to set up your user name and so on.

  • I have problems keeping records and files of the administrator and the user separate in my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700) under Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I have problems separating records and files of the administrator and the user. My computer is a laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700), used as a home computer only by myself, I like to keep the two distinct roles, but am unable to as Vista seems to be considered as one and the same. This scenario has arisen as follows:

    Initially, when I bought the laptop - approx. 18 months back - Windows Vista Home Premium was preinstalled, with the name 'Administrator' as an administrator. To customize the operating system and to use safely, I installed a user 'Renault', as a Standard account user.

    After awhile, I changed the name of the Director of "Renault", for reasons I have can not remember now. This caused Vista to combine folders and files of the two "users" in one, I found difficult to deal with, that I could not operate my laptop as just a Standard user, but is still considered the "administrator." On the one hand, this greatly increased spam in my email accounts. So I tried to reset the name of the administrator as 'Administrator' itself and keep my user name as "Renault", as originally the case.  But Vista me has failed to create a new user under the name "Administrator". So I created a new user under the name "System administrator", with administrative privileges. This has been accepted by Vista.

    But I forgot to change the user account for 'Renault', on the Standard account, so there was BOTH administrator accounts at the same time on my laptop! I realized that now only. The net result was that all the files that I created under the system administrator user were still being displayed under the user account of Renault. A few days back, I realized this and tried to separate the files correctly, but it has not been possible. No matter what I copied the account of the user in the files under the system administrator account, the files have been copied on account of the user himself.

    I tried to fix this by changing the name of the user account in something very different, AND as a Standard user. but this also does not work, as all folders and files under the administrator account system shows it as being under the user account of "Renault" only!

    Then, I deleted the user 'Renault' from the list of the user, but he was not yet of any help. Whenever I tried to create a new file under the system administrator, Vista responds with the message, "C:\user\Rajaram folder is not present. Will I create a new? ", which defeat the same purpose of my tent to isolate the administrator account and the user account.

    SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE WITH A SOLUTION, - OTHER THAN REFORMATTING MY C:\ DISK AND REINSTALL VISTA AGAIN - TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS, IT SEEMS TO ME YOU HAVE CREATED AND HELP ME TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT AND OTHER UNIQUE STANDARD USER ACCOUNTS PROPERLY ISOLATED.

    I would be always grateful for a quick and helpful response.
    Thanks in advance.

    -RAJARAM77
     
    Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful / sorry your proposed solution has not solved my problem. Kind regards. -Rajaram77

    Better to delete the user account except the one that was built in the administrator account that you renamed. Before this backup all your data files of these user accounts.
    Then rename the buil into account administrator as 'administrator '. Then you create another administrator account and use it and never the user built in Administrator account and leave it alone.

  • Reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium on your friends computer and impossible to activate

    So a while a friend died and I got his laptop. It came as a Windows 7 Home premium, but he did not like Windows and it has switched to Linux. I switched it back to Windows, but I just use a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium, I already had, leading to a "non-genuine" version of Windows. It has been so for a while now and the message "Activate Windows now" slows down the initial start-up; I can't put a wallpaper I was just wondering if it is possible to get an another record since the original key is taken on a technical level. If it's useful, 'caught', original product key on the sticker of the laptop is {deleted}

    Original title: activation (?) Windows 7

    If you still have the sticker / product key that belongs to this laptop then try the following:

    (A) If you have used the Home Premium edition you drive "had", if it is a version of "Retail" (not a recovery from another PC disk) then:

    Open a prompt (run as administrator) and type the following at the command prompt:

    slmgr - upk (press the Enter key)

    slmgr - ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (where XXXXX is your product key and press the Enter key

    slmgr - ato (and press the Enter key)

    Leave command prompt it a check to see if Windows is activated.

    (B) If you used a Home Premium recovery disc that belongs to another PC, you should reinstall Windows and activate using the product key that belonged to your laptop from a friend.

    (1) download the Windows 7 proper. ISO file that includes Service Pack 1
    (Note: must match for your product key version)

    How do I know if I have a version of 32 or 64 Bit of Windows installed on my computer:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

    SHA1 hash: 6C9058389C1E2E5122B7C933275F963EDF1C07B9

    (2) after downloading the correct .iso file install HashCalc and validate the SHA1 hash value
    is correct.

    Hello

    Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista; See suits you the method...

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud

    Hello

    Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.

    However, try these options:

    Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.

    Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.
