  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your message want to upgrade your HP Win7 desktop PC to Win10 and wanted to help.

  You think about the amount of work that you want to post just to run Win10.  Seriously.  Old machine Win7 tend to come in two flavors when it comes to upgrading Win10 - really easy and really difficult.  I have an older HP DV6 that falls into the second category - as your machine.
  
  To upgrade the really tough machines, you must be willing to do three things:
  (1) make a full image backup on external drive or high-capacity USB key
  (2) modify the system reserved hard disk partitioning scheme
  (3) uses a very different approach and maybe more than one, that the use of Windows Update to do the upgrade.
  
  1: the backup image.  This is VITAL, because the machine is most likely failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and leaving you with a machine corrupted which will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.
  
  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which 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.
  
  2. reserved resizing system: there is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own.  IF this happens, you must manually use a partitioning tool to resize it yourself.
  
  3. using a different approach: Windows Update is easier, but less reliable, how to make the upgrade to Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.

  After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
  
  Good luck

• HP Pavilion a6745f stop error message

  Hello again!

  I'm new to the forum.  I've known a stop error message regarding hpqgpc01.exe.  He says that the program is unable to put end to, click to complete.  I recently bought an HP F4440 AIO.  I tried a solution of a post here. but it did not work.  Anyone has had or has this problem that can point me in the right direction to eliminate this problem?  Anyone know what this file is, exactlly?  AIO has to work properly?  I read a lot of articles and messages about problems with the work of the AIO with Vista.  I really like the IOA and it meets my needs very well, but I can't bear this message popping up every time I shut down my machine!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Media Center with Vista Service Pack 1 (64-bit), Athlon X 2 (B) 5050e 2.6 GHz (45W).

  Nice day!  Sorry for not responding sooner, but I just wanted to make sure that your solution worked for me.  And he did.  And I really, really appreciate you taking the time to answer.  Although, I think I found a solution, which, allows all functions to be used without the message annoying "shutdown" appearing.  In a previous post by J. Rhoades(posted 3/28/08) and it reads as follows:

  I got this info from a technician of the HP technical support:

  Go to start > run > services.msc

  Find 'HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service', change the startup type to disabled, and then stop the service

  I must tell you, it worked like a charm... So far!  But, if he comes back, I'll be sure to post if/when this happens!  Thanks again loads!

  For the record, my questions to HP about this case was void avenue.  I made the mistake in using the Chat, in which you ask someone, I suppose, is in another country and it takes for always answering your questions and they seem to be not very well paid on questions about HP products.  So, I am very grateful, there are people who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences with others.  Looks like we have to depend on 'other '!  Thank you all!

• Power failure

  My computer is a HP Pavilion A6745f (FQ5770AA). About a year ago I installed 3 improvements, a video card, power supplyand CPU. It worked great all this time, until today. He worked the morning before leaving for work. When I tried to get on the PC after work, it not light.

  Here are some of my findings:

  1 when I press the power button on the case, the button doesn't light up.

  2 when I press the power button on the case, I can see and hear the fans running. This includes the CPU, GPU, PSU and case fans. However, they only work for as long as you press the power button. So if I just press the power button for one second (as would normally turn it on), the fans spin for a second or two and then stop. If I press and hold the power button on, the fans turned on as long as the button is pressed. Nevertheless, the le PC PC still don't turn.

  3. the power supply makes a high-pitched sound when he can.

  Judging by the symptoms, my diet would cause?

  Thank you

  Depending on the available parts, the next would be the power, the CPU or the motherboard.

• Multimedia keyboard keys

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion a6745f and I wonder what is the process to disable the special keys. Specifically, the sleep button.

  Thank you

  Insofar as most of the "special keys" go, I think they are controlled by the HP multimedia keyboard driver that should be accessible from the Control Panel keyboard... or maybe in a keyboard HP program. As for the "Sleep" button, try Control Panel, Power Options, Advanced... should be a line like "what to do?" when you press the sleep button and change the selection to "nothing".

• PC Pavilion laptop: no sound on Pavilion g6 after installing the new battery CMOS

  I have a Pavilion g6z - 1 d 00 CTO Notebook PC, model A2F43AV number.  It came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I upgraded the operating system to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit).

  The problem is that I did not sound, either through headphones or the speakers even if the Volume is set at 55. I first noticed the audio problem after replacing the CMOS battery, as the laptop is 4 years old and he gave me intermittent wireless connectivity problems.  After installing the new battery CMOS, I noticed the wireless driver was missing and downloaded/installed.  Everything was fine except the audio.  Then I reset the BIOS but nothing there as the BIOS version is v.49, and it is the most recent.

  I have also downloaded/installed the driver audio and rebooted the PC.  Still, there is no noise.

  Finally, I have checked the audio drivers and the reporting system they work without any problem.

  What should I do next?

  Thanks, Terry

• Pavilion p6 - 2307: upgraded GPU in Pavilion p6 - 2307a

  Hi, I am interested in the upgrade of the NVIDIA GeForce 620 of GT, which comes with the Pavilion p6 - 2307. I have run Windows 64-bit 10. The specifications of my desktop (to support people no HP) can be found here:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03604360

  I would get an EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1060 / 3GB, however I heard that others were unable to update their graphics in the pavilions maps, because they "locked," such as HP will not allow you to change the graphics card by default. Is this true for my office? If so, would be fixed by getting a new motherboard?

  Even if I can use this GPU, there is a very close capacitor of the PCI express x 16 slot, just above it, which I think could get in the way. Maybe I could use a PCI express x 16 extender, however I do not know how the GPU would be actually physically supported, so I don't think this is a long-term solution. If I replace my motherboard, I then need to reinstall Windows? And I have to buy a new copy? My existing copy of Windows or how some would be transferred to my new motherboard?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thanks, Lachlan.

  The BIOS of your desktop PC is not locked.

  The EVGA graphics card is too large. It is 10.5 inches long and your motherboard is 9.6 "wide.  It is unlikely to hold in the case of the PC.

• Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t: problem with the new HP DH16D5S DVD ROM drive

  My office is a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t.  I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I have two HP optical dirives, one is a writer, and the other is just a DVD ROM  Both have always worked perfectly with Windows 7.  After you have installed Windows 10 continuous burner work very well works correctly with autoplay.  However, the DVD - ROM, HP DH16D5S, immediately began using autoplay.  Actually the drive was not yet recognized as a drive when you view the drives in the file Explorer.  Finally, it would seem, sometimes taking also longer than 5 minutes or more before doing so and then would work very well.  I tried different types of media, including music CD, DVD video and DVD software with the same results.  I assumed that it was a problem with the drive, maybe a bad capacitor, etc., which was originally not start correctly.  So I ordered a new DH160D5S, but which seems to have been a waste of time and money, because it does exactly the same thing as the original.  I even changed the cables autour between it and the burner, but it made no difference.  The burner still works fine but not DVD ROM.  I tried to find a more recent driver for it, but had no chance.  I found on a Dell website for this drive which was an update of the firmware for Windows Vista and Windows 7, but not for Windows 10.  I advanced and downloaded, but when I tried to run, I got the message: "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update.  Update has been canceled. »

  I want to try a different brand of DVD ROM, but would have to buy one without knowing if it would help.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Since I posted this message I discovered that there is a driver problem with this DVD ROM.  There's no driver available yet to make the drive compatible with Windows 10.  Since then, I returned the drive and replaced by another brand that is compatible with Windows 10.

• HP Pavilion dv7 - 4157cl

  my hp Pavilion dv7 - 4157cl turns on but does not display. the monitor is completely black.

  I connected an external monitor and still no display.

  Mahemac,

  Thanks for your reply and input. The device belonged to a friend.

  I opened the unit to check the fan cooling and the video card. It turns out that the cooling fan has been discolored by overheating and corroded. I thought that the video card was also damaged and consecuently the motherboard. So instead of investing in a complete motherboard repair, we opted to just buy a new laptop.

  My experience with HP is not very positive. HP has a history with very bad monitor, video and cooling problems.

  You really need to move to more reliable components.

  with respect and honesty.

• HP Pavilion takes now several trials start for Windows XP

  I have a Pavilion model "a1530n," that is running Windows XP.

  From a few weeks ago, he stopped at XP startup on the first try. He hit the start menu, and then goes to a black screen. So, I have to turn it off and then on again manually. He then asks me to choose whether or not I want to go to safemode (etc.), then usually goes to XP. Sometimes it takes a third test.

  I spent weeks researching this. I tried to correct the various files in the registry, updated the BIOS, cleaning the dust inside, disconnect the battery and disconnect the card reader reconnect it (a ' hard reset'). Nothing has made any difference.

  The only weird thing I've noticed, is that this problem only occurs when the computer is turned off for more than three hours.

  It will not occur if I do a reboot or shut down/turn less than an hour. Makes me think it might be a hardware problem. For what it's worth, the fan was caked with dust when I opened it upward and before all this started, the fan was a high pitched whirring noise, which she continued to do.

  There are no other problems with this computer - no gel, crashes, viruses, loss of memory, etc.. Any help would be appreciated! I searched this forum and the Web and can not find someone else with this problem.

  I've heard of this and actually had a computer do exactly what you described.  It is attributed to the old age of the components.  It could be that several components suspects but especially probably the motherboard.  Google has no capacitors on motherboards to computer and you'll see the symptoms described, very similar to this post.  If you are the DO-IT-YOURSELF type of person, look for bulging capacitors or corrosion on the capacitors.  It can be fixed, but it is usually easier to replace the motherboard.

  BTW: the symptom 'not starting for the first two times' finally will get worse and it can be cured with the software.

• Beep short + Long - HP Pavilion Media Center PC

  Can someone tell me what is the error, because the PC won't even be the bios screen? Spontaneously, he stopped working and only gives these beep codes as your comments, which are totally different from the documented standard beep codes... No contoumement not spotted on the card either... I am considering buying a new motherboard, but would like to know what happened. :/

  I think it's a HP Pavilion Media Center m8530f desktop PC, but could have confused the model number... it is certainly the same as this one. It has a BIOS of HP, so I looked at the HP Bios Beep Codes, but these beeps are certainly not one of those documented...

  I filmed and uploaded the beeps on youtube, please take a look:

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=yFl0McDRtmQ

  I first thought the old popped capacitors on the mobo was the problem... I've replaced but still no go...

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  EthemD, welcome to the forum.

  You did a great job recording audio signals.  I read them as a short and a long.  That tells me that you probably have a memory problem.  Here is a guide that you can see what I mean.
