HP Pavilion dv7-6c02em: should I upgrade from Win7 to Win10? Better driver support?

Hi all
I have a HP Pavilion DV7 with 7690 m XT graphics card.

Model of the laptop is dv7-6c02em.

Is this smart upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10?
(I have heard and read about a lot of problems with the drivers are missing.) When I check my driver models his almost empty page.

Does anyone have any experience with the upgrade to windows 10? (both good or bad)

PS - I don't trust more HP and their assumption of the pilot, also its my work laptop. (associated with very important Bank of programs on this subject).

Thank you

1. the older system with Win7 should not go Win10 that HP provides no support any drivers for it unless it was made in 2013.

2. your specific HP PS comment is false with no facts to backup. We should refrain from making these comments - does nothing to help other users.

    I think the upgrade of one of my hard drives (ea 320) in my HP Pavilion laptop dv7-4069wm for more storage.  I like to keep the drive that contains the operating system to avoid the hassle to make a copy, but I'm not sure which one that is. I have not replaced a hard drive before, and still less a double disc. Recently, I added more RAM and noticed that both hard drives looked the same. Can someone tell me how to know the difference?

  • Pavilion dv7-6157 can be upgraded for the games?

    I bought my son the Pavilion dv7-6157nr two years ago and he has problems with graphics on the high-end gaming, he plays. They freeze or crash. It has 8 G DDR3 SDRam, 2 generation Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz - 3.10 turbo and a radeon HD 6770Ms graphics card. Video memory it says "itchable graphics"... What does that mean?  This computer can evolve in a way that would help the graphics? Y at - it a graphics card or driver upgrade? More graphics memory can be affected?

    I'm tired of hearing that suck laptops.

    Laptops are not really designed or constructed for the high end games. I doubt that adding memory will make much difference. Given that the two most important points (CPU and GPU) cannot be updated easily, it is a losing battle.

    The only other options I can suggest are...

    (1) a HP System Recovery to return the computer to a factory like State

    (2) do a clean install of WIndows 7 and try to use latest drivers for chipset manufacturers

    (3) buy a new computer that exceeds the requirements of game

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

    Anyone know if it is possible to improve the RAM memory of 8 GB to 16 GB on my HP Pavilion DV7 6b15ED?

    I found conflicting information on the internet, saying that it is possible, else by saying that it is not.

    Not the maximum for your model is 8 GB. For most people the upgrade from 8 GB to 16 is disappointing even for almost anything that most people do with their laptops requires less than 8 GB of RAM. The exceptions are video production or photo, virtual machines and heavy coding activities.

  • HP Pavilion DV7 4121er Wi - Fi upgrade possible?

    I have HP Pavilion DV7 4121er with Ralink RT3090 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter onboard. This works only with 2.5 Ghz and 150Mbps 802.11n networks limited. So, is it possible to replace this Wi - Fi card lame 5\5Ghz 2, support and 300 Mbps speed wireless to another?

    Hello:

    It could be one, but I can't say 100% for sure.

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02666747.PDF

    I see the module 4322 Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN, which is a dual-band card, but note that it states that it is only for the dv7 -40portable xx.

    I wonder if they meant dv7-4xxx, or are the only good card for dv-4000 series, but not the series 4100-4900?

    If no, there is no other.

    You must only get a card support with HP number thereon, or it won't work. Your laptop does not even start until you remove the unsupported card.

    If you want to take a chance on the map above, make sure you get the card with the part number that will work for the country or region of the world in which you live.

    If you live in the USA/Canada, you can order the map on the link below. HP can take a return to this topic, if this does not work, but I can't guarantee it.  You will need to talk to them.

  • Pavilion dv7. Windows can't verify the Publisher of this driver. system restore

    Pavilion dv7.  Windows Vista Home Edition

    The error message that desplays after the system recovery process, it is "Windows cannot verify the Publisher of this driver software".

    I tried clicking on the button 'Install anyway', at this point, more than 5 times.  The process does not move forward and I feel frustrated and turned off my computer.

    I started but that you have not completed the process of system restore, so there is nothing usable on my computer in terms of operating system.

    What should I do?

    Thank you.  By showing the work you've done to a representative at the Geek Squad, I was able to buy and install a new hard drive for my laptop.

    I then used the recovery disks that were created shortly after that the laptop was purchased in 2009.  Windows Vista is now on my computer.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Windows 7 x 4 Can not find Hard Drive

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx. I put in a new hard drive. I can't get Windows 7 x 64 to recognize during the installation. I tried the Intel Chipset drivers on the HP download site for my laptop. I also tried the x 64 drivers from the Intel website: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24293/a08/f6flpy-x64.zip.

    I tried with the original hard drive in and Windows 7 does not recognize either.

    Any ideas on how to get Windows 7 to recognize the drive?

    Brian

    I understood why Windows 7 does not recognize the hard drive. I tried to install Windows 7 from a USB key. I burned the BONES on a dvd and booted on the dvd and he found the hard drive. It is trying to install Windows 7.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 not recognizing their 'new' capacity of 750 GB HARD drive.

    I have a model of HP Pavilion dv7 - 2173cl with:

    1. Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 CPU processor.
    2. Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit (factory installed Vista update) OS.
    3. 2048 MB is memory.

    'SMART' HARD drive imminent failure message received:

    1. Original disc installed HARD is a 500 GB Western Digital model WD5000DBEVT.
    2. SMART two weeks' ago error messages indicating imminent failure of HDD appeared.
    3. A check of the HP Web site checked the error number corresponds to "imminent HARD drive failure.
    4. The message prompted me to 'save' the HARD drive.
    5. I completed a backup of files and an image via the "Backup and Restore" feature backup of Windows 7.
    6. The backup has been to an external Seagate 1 TB USB connected external HARD disk
    7. In addition, I created a 'Windows 7 64 bit system repair disc' using the backup and restore of Windows 7 feature.

    Replacement HARD drive:

    1. I bought a 750 GB (7200 RPM) Western Digital model WD75000BPKX.
    2. When formatting the HARD disk (via the CD of 'Windows 7 64 bit system repair disc') replacement I observed the formatting of the process that the size of the disc HARD has been reported that 500 GB (compared to the actual size of 750 GB).
    3. With the help of the rollback on the CD "repair" feature I restored it (backup on external USB connected HDD image) image.
    4. Later, I check the 'properties' from the 'device' (the new HDD of 750 GB and observed that Windows 7 also pointed out this new HARD drive as a 500 GB drive (compared to a 750 GB drive).

    Site HP Web search:

    1. A search in the Web of HP SP5575, referred to as software download site and 'run' to identify a 'Advanced Format hard drive.
    2. A downloaded execution of and run this software has given rise to the audit that the 'new' Western Digital model WD75000BPKX is an 'Advanced Format Hard Drive.
    3. The site also shows to support a 'Advanced Format hard drive' the "device driver" must be at least version 9.6.01014 Rev: has (the current version is 6.1.7600.16385).
    4. The SP50624 Web site, referred to as software to download and 'run' to update the disk device driver (found in Control Panel/Device Manager/disk drives/Driver/updated updated driver for Windows 7).
    5. I have downloaded and run SP50624 and as a guest 'Update Driver' selected in the Control Panel/Device Manager/disk/disk driver and also "indicated the location where the new driver after 'running' SP50624.
    6. Windows has responded with "the driver is up to date" and selected version 6.1.7600.16385 driver (i.e., would not version 9.6.01014 Rev: A).
    7. The software (e.g., Windows) running on the 'new' unacceptable short slow disk. It is a symptom commonly identified when a disk with 'Advanced Format' works without the drivers appropriate and formatting.

    Issues and options:

    1. Is there a solution that will allow the model of HP Pavilion dv7 - 2173cl to use this 'new HARD drive (a compatible disc HARD driver update that will install or another available solution that will accommodate a HARD drive to Format advanced such as the 750 GB (7200 RPM) Western Digital model WD75000BPKX)?
    2. Or is my only solution regarding the HP Pavilion model dv7 - 2173 cl to buy a 500 GB HDD without 'Advanced Format '?
    3. And finally buy a vintage/new laptop today.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Problem solved.

    I solved the problem as follows:

    1. I chose to reload Windows 7 from "scratch" after your positive validation of this approach.
    2. This required me to reload all applications (for example, Microsoft Office).
    3. Note: A reload of the OS and Applications from "scratch" requires access to the "Product Key".
    4. During the initial charging of Windows 7 and the formatting of the 'new' drive Windows 7 provided the possibility to remove the partitions (remove/reorder) that had been affected by the recovery process 'attempt' described above. With the help of this function I eliminated the partitions and 'Add' the "unallocated" space to the overall capacity of 750 GB HARD drive.
    5. After reloading the OS, I checked via 'Properties' that all of the 750Go were present and available - success.

    Thank you for your support.
