• Pavilion dv7-4180: upgrade Windows 7 to 8

  Hi all

  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?

  Thanks for your comments.

  Very practical advice.  Device Manager to see 'pilot' listed, or should I navigate on the control panel?

  Thank you.

  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.

• Please find Driver for BCM20702A0 for hp pavilion dv7-4285dx for windows 7

  Hello

  Please help me find the driver for BCM20702A0 for hp pavilion dv7-4285dx for windows 7.

  I'm going to each site, trying to find a driver for BCM20702A0 because I tried to install a 4 (badge) bluetooth dongle on my laptop but it says 'impossible to update software' when I try to run the installer from the manufacturer's website. Then, I go to devices and printers and try to solve the problem with the bluetooth dongle and it says "BCM20702A0 is not a driver" I tried to download broadcom and updated centrino HP network driver for my laptop page up-to-date, but that does not solve the problem. All these other drivers that I find are for other computers laptops and even still, I can't navigate to links posted on this site, it brings me right back to the search page.

  Thank you

• Pavilion dv7 3162nr: upgrade of updates to driver for laptop after Windows 10

  Hello

  I'm looking the latest driver updates for my particular model, and is not on your website.  I have upgraded to Windows 10 and keep the problems with my computer not to wake from standby or hibernation. The only way for me to 'fix' it is to stop completely from the computer, open the applications and all.

  I also wonder if I need a BIOS update.

  I have a Pavilion dv7 3162nr

  Serial No. [personal information]

  Product #WA801UA #ABA

  BIOS date version: F03, 22/08/2009

  Processor: AMD Turion (tm) II Ultra Dual - Core Mobile M600, 2400 Mhz 2 core 2 logical processors.

  Here's all the info I have my specific model.

  Can someone help, please?

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  There is also no update the BIOS of your PC.

  This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!  To restore all the features, you will need to do a reset to factory using HP recovery media to its original operating system pre-installed.

  However, if you are determined to stay with Win10, pilot alternatives, you can continue below are...

  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

  You can also try following the instructions in this thread: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04763435/

  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

• Problem on HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with Windows 8 Pro x 64 on video card

  Good evening

  I just finished installing Windows 8 x 64 Win7 Pro, I could find all the drivers for my laptop, but I have problems with the video card settings.

  My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with two graphics cards, one managed by the processor, because it seems to do, and the other is normally installed on the PC.

  The cards are read by Windows as:

  Unit 1: Intel HD Graphics 3000
  Unit 2: AMD Radeon HD 6700 m Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20)

  the problem lies in the fact that the device must be a supported per second, or disabled, as it will not be. AMD video card must be set to 1 and the intel 2. If I go to the "Device Manager" to disable the card intel Windows, it works as if he was absent any video card, also installed driver is not correct because the card is an AMD Radeon HD7690M XT, the problem is that even if I uninstall this driver then always comes back. I also tried to download AMD Catalyst in the latest version, but can't find the card. It's as if the windows are imposed only use the unit 1, which, however, I can not disable the BIOS, because there is no voice. I note that Windows 7 had no problem.

  I ask you to help me because I need the video card for my work performance.

  Hello

  10 Windows Update crashes after 87%, so I have to turn off the laptop and the system becomes always restored to Windows 7.

  Is there someone who has improved the Pavilion DV7-4150 to 10 Windows? How?

  I installed all the updates with the HP Support Assistant HP and all Windows 7 updates I can get. I have the most recent BIOS F.29, but also the BIOS F.12 F.13 and F.23 do not work with Windows 10.

  In my view, the problem is the old BIOS HP. Is it a BIOS compatible for HP Pavilion DV7-4150 get worked with Windows 10?

  Please HP, is a big job for you, please deliver us a new BIOS for Windows 10 job!

  Thank you, always HP - Fan.

  Allways_HP_Fan

  Sorry, but HP has shown no sign that it grows some BIOS updates for older machines.  I have a HP DV6 and the update in 2011.

  I came across similar problems with my HP DV6 - it would always block partially through the update, and then I do a factory reset to get it working again.

  What DOES not work for me has been an own-made from a USB key, created installation using the latest version of Win10 obtained by using the tool of creation of MS Media: 10 Windows Installer by using the tool of creation of media - Windows help

  However, BEFORE that, be sure to read this thread on greating the genuineticket file, because you will need to activate Win10 after installation: Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

• HP Pavilion dv7-4150er upgrade complete. Issue of processor and HARD drive

  Hello. Sorry for my English. I'm from the Ukraine.

  I want to improve my HP Pavilion dv7-4150er and I need advice from experienced people.

  Now, I have:

  -8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB),

  -1 TB of HDD (5400 RPM)

  -stock video (Mobility Radeon hd 5650 graphics card) card overclocked to 700 MHz GPU and 950 MHz Vram.

  -CPU (mobile Quad Core Intel Core i7-720QM, 1716 MHz) in stock

  -BIOS F.29

  2 problems:

  -Slow CPU

  -Slow HARD drive

  I want to buy a few HARD drives SSD for Windows and secondary soft and left for the data.

  Get an increase in the performance of the system?

  On the 'Intel' site, I read that my

  Intel® HM55 Express Chipset Mobile

  is compatible with the more powerful processors. LINK

  And I have a great opportunity to buy Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13 GHz)

  But the laptop manual says:

  720QM and 940xm - identical processors. The difference in 'MAX TDP' 45w/55w, 'Cache' 6 mb / 8 mb and clock speed 1.6 GHz/2.13 GHz

  The Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13) will work properly in my laptop?

  or not?

  I have read many articles on this topic, but the answer is not...

  And I can't find information on HP F.29 BIOS specification.

  How can I increase a CPU nested way (with another compatible processor) perfomance if 940xm is not compatible?

  Help me please.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hello nickiblackmore.  I understand that you are curious about the upgrade of your laptop.

  Here is a link to Guide of Service and Maintenance of your laptop.  It covers the disassembly of the laptop and can also show you how to replace parts if you upgrade the.

  If you switch to a Solid State Drive of a standard 5400 or 7200 RPM hard drive, you should see a significant performance increase.  This is because a normal hard drive spinning platters and it takes time to locate data on the trays as they are moving.  A Solid State Drive has no moving parts and therefor can locate data much more quickly.

  A CPU upgrade is a much more difficult question.  HP does not recommend that you perform this type of upgrade.  Laptops are generally designed with specific thermal and electrical needs.  If you change the CPU, it will probably create more heat and use a higher power that will cause you problems.  However, if you stick to a processor that is listed in the service (for example in your picture) Guide, you should be fine.  For example, you can choose one of the microprocessors found in the image to upgrade your laptop.  Also, keep in mind that the integral part upgrade as a CPU can affect your warranty (check your warranty here).

  If you think that answers your question be sure to mark the post as solved.  This makes it easier for others to find answers to their questions.

  Have a great day!

  Hi for dog,

  Windows 7 has been available for download on the Microsoft Store until the latter part of 2012 - however, now, you will need to buy an installation disc from a store.

  Windows 7 drivers are available for your laptop - see the link below.

• HP Pavilion dv7-4269wm, no hard drive problem...

  HP Pavilion dv7-4269 with Toshiba MK7559GSXP 750 GB hard drive

  Windows 7 64 bit

  The SMART reports a hard drive failed when starting upwards.

  Failure ID: PQ817W-5LT65W-XD0141-60FP03

  Product ID: XZ028UA (#ABA)

  I get a failed drive, warning of the CHIP during the start up.

  I have little knowledge of the inner workings of my laptop. Comments on what type of hard drive I can use and/or any other suggestions for my problem would be greatly appreciated. O and please excessively it for me if possible... Thank you

  Hello

  The SMART error would certainly indicate the hard drive is faulty and should be replaced.  The first thing you can do is to back up all your personal files etc as soon as you can.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive for laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 53 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVDs to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - see the document here.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

  Windows 7 32 bit

  You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, typing away at the esc key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

  When loading, select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

• Pavilion dv7-4269wm 8.1 update problem

  Try to update windows 8 to 8.1 and Pavilion dv7-4269wm does not start in windows. failed to retrieve

  Hello MechPilot,

  Thank you for your kind cooperation.

  After the other pure full install win 8 and diligently do all the updates and patches. And verification of the latest drivers for Windows 8.  Everything works great.  Then came victory 8.1 installation update of the windows store.  No luck. Same problem as before. Windows 8.1 will not work. He went into "Recovery screen. It seems that windows has not loaded correctly"once AGAIN.

  Chatted with the technology from Microsoft that has managed to take control of my laptop. He ran a scan to find corrupted system files. 100% OK.   My activation key has been authorized.  He has tried several things but was unable to start correctly in windows. The second Microsoft technology repeated the same tests, but it also seemed perplexed.  Why it run ok with 8 victory, but not with the victory. 8.1 (only in safe mode)

  I asked if it was possible that when windows 8.1 updates, he would check for the latest drivers and load a new video driver that is not compatible with this laptop. Possible.

  Then I disabled the graphics card in the device (in safe mode) Manager.  Restarted the computer and windows 8.1 came to life, with no error message. But in lower resolution.  Windows find no driver loads a generic driver of the weak reference that worked. Then I went to the web site of the graphics card and downloaded the "Windows 8" driver!   Windows 8.1 NOT THE MOST CURRENT driver. Of course, the latest video driver will not work with this laptop. The next earlier version seems to work very well.

  Thanks to the support of fine hand-holding technology at Microsoft and your fine concern and assistance, I don't give up, and something finally worked. Wooooopee!

  Keep your good work and thank you so much.
