  Hello

  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

  Windows 7 64 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.

  Bootrec.exe

  bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  c:

  Boot CD

  BCD attrib s h - r

  Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  Bootrec /fixmbr

  Bootrec /fixboot

  Remove the rescue CD and try to restart the laptop.

• HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC: Windows Media Player replacement

  I currently use Windows Media Player to play CDs, DVDs, BlueRay discs and for monitoring emissions of air with my unencrypted, i.e. without a cable box, to view TV shows, because I have a TV card installed by HP, and a digital antenna I bought at HP at the time wherever I bought my 5 year old laptop, which came with Windows 7.  This laptop also contains the HP MediaSmart software where I can also do similar things.

  I understand that if I switch to Windows 10, Windows Media Player will be uninstalled and I can no longer use Windows Media Player.  My HP MediaSmart software will still work in Windows 10?  I spent more than $3,000 for this laptop to be completely loaded.  I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 if I use is more CD, DVD, Blue Ray disc, Aboriginal, TV etc...  I also bought this laptop so that I can also burn discs, this function will always be available.  If this is the case, what other players and burners are here for Windows 10?

  If there is no players free alternatives and burners or Windows 10 will not do what I paid to my original purchase with Windows 7, so there's no reason to switch to Windows 10.  This has been one of my main reasons for not upgrading to Windows 10.

  Please be aware that Windows Media Center will work no. LONGER on Windows 10.  Microsoft no longer supports Windows Media Center on Windows 10 then you won't be able to run it and record live shows and others.  Currently, Microsoft has not any replacement software to Windows Media Center so please keep this in mind when you are considering upgrading to Windows 10.

  If you like using Windows Media Center, the idea here is to not upgrade to Windows 10.

• HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC: windows 10 could ' t update the system reserved partition

  Installation Windows 10 leads following on the Windows Update screen:

  Windows 10 could not be installed

  We could not update the system reserved partition.

  What now?

  It worked despite me:

  Don't enter the right amount of space between "/" s, skipped the part attrib by accident, and when I couldn't find the file Explorer options moved the command chkdsk.  As it was for Windows 7 to 8 figurative later may not be necessary.

  Installation failed with code C1900101 (if the memory.)  Seen people on other boards with driver issues, I have disconnected my external monitor and was able to install.

  All right, so thanks.

• HP pavilion dv7 notebook pc windows 7 64 bit home hp mediasmart dvd player will not play any dvd

  format not supported, says please insert a movie

  Hello

  OK, try the following.

  As you use HP MediaSmart DVD to play discs, follow these steps.

  HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

  Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

  When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once done, see if your discs now plays OK.

  Kind regards

• Keyboard problems - the circumflex accent keeps jumping around while I type! HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

  Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

  Product number: B1W89EA #ABU

  Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

  I have made no recent changes.

  Problem:

  Everything by typing the caret keeps jumping to the top of the screen so that the text I'm in the mid typing eventually disappear to a random position longer than the top of the page, I already typed in the middle of the text.

  For a few weeks, I assumed that it was just me slipping, as I only started using the shortcut ctrl + arrow keys to scroll the text easier. However, I am becoming very sure that this is not the case because it happens to average flow by typing quite normal (i.e. not involving not the arrow keys at all!).

  I didn't have this laptop last summer, but I'm a finalist uni and REALLY rely on my laptop. I type a lot, and it's really annoying and inconvenient

  Hello NerdWhale.  I understand that you are having problems with your keyboard.

  You should try to remove the keyboard and reset the laptop hard driver.  This will force the material in order to be reset.  Try the following.

  1. Click Start, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
  2. Expand the section of keyboards.
  3. Right-click on each device and select uninstall.
  4. Shut down the laptop.
  5. Remove the battery and AC power.
  6. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, three times.
  7. Replace the battery and AC power.
  8. Start Notepad and allow Windows to reinstall the drivers.
  9. Check whether the problem is resolved and post the result.

  I'll keep an eye out for your answer.  Have a great day!

  My first question:

  Third question:
  
  The ISO Windows 7 Home Edition will include all its drivers?

  Hi MarcoPolo777, for the key, you can use a software called produkey.

• Pavilion x 2: Windows product key Validation after hardware change (new SSD)

  I have a Pavilion laptop x 2 with a 64 GB SSD.  It came with Windows 8.1 but he now works Windows 10 - of course.  I decided to upgrade the 256 GB SSD.  I bought the appropriate module (a Sandisk).  I recently contacted Windows support to inquire about the procedure to validate the OS once I did the material exchange.  I wasn't sure how it would work since my x 2 Pavilion has incorporated into BIOS product key.  Microsoft told me that because I was going to do a hardware change I would need a new product key (in other words my laptop current product key would be 'blocked').  I was able to recover the product key of my Pavilion x 2 (OEM and installed keys - what is the difference?).

  Does anyone have experience in this field?  Once I have replace the SSD and perform a clean install Windows 10, will be the key to product embedded BIOS validate operating system or it will reject?  Since I'm NOT buying a HP SSD (with preloaded operating system) and that my x 2 Pavilion is now long out of warranty?  I really have to pay over a hundred dollars for a new Windows operating system license?

  Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

  Francis

  Parameters indicate that I have a digital right so with a bit of luck when I change the SSD and install Windows 10, the machine must validate without a qualm.  I tried to see if I could link my Validation of my Microsoft account but I did not have this option on my settings (although in the past when I re-install Windows 10, link validation of my Microsoft account operating system so I guess it works.)  Also, I guess I have the anniversary edition from my machine updated automatically.

  If all else fails, I'll see how it goes after the SSD upgrade and if I have to deal with Microsoft.  I also agree with you that change the SSD (essentially the ' drive') is NOT a significant change in equipment and shall not impose a new product key, but then, nothing surprises me more.

  Your tips were helpful and I thank you.

• No sound on HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

  I recently installed a scanner cared (about 2 weeks ago), but honestly don't remember if I had sound for a while before that.  Yesterday, I installed a new program from Nikon for a new camera, I got.  We have also reinstalled Trend Micro last Friday and have performed a thorough analysis.

  Help?

• 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.

  You will need get a new hard drive and install it, then you will need to reinstall the Windows operating system using the HP recovery media. If you are in warranty, HP will send you replacement parts by your warranty conditions.
  
  If you are out of warranty, you will need to buy a replacement hard drive, and then call HP to order the specific recovery HP for your portable media.

• Radeon AMD in Pavilion dv7 notebook driver problem

  I have a pavilion dv7 notebook and for a few months, I had problems with my graphics driver.

  It began with a notice that my license was expired, so I went on the AMD website and tried to install the update. I ran dxdiag to find tool that I use an AMD Radeon HD 6620 G graphics card. I could not find my product on the list to manually install the update, so I tried the Downloader tool from amd driver and he had a problem of recognition of my graphics card. I then tried to update with the help of Support HP and that seemed to work for a while.

  Yesterday my screen changed the lowest resolution and a notice came it was not recognizing my graphics driver. Yet once, I tried to update manually from the AMD Web site. When this does not work I downloaded the driver AMD Downloader and after installing everything he said is that "your computer does not contain a correct graphics card" and closed the program.

  I am lost at this point uterally, and any help would be greatly apreciated.

  WARNING *.

  This is NOT official HP customer service and I, like most other people on this forum do not work for HP. It is a forum for users of peer-to-peer supported for class for the HP consumer products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum and it is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity. Response of an employee of HP represents his own opinion and not that of HP.

  AMD does not support the graphics system from HP to address personalized and won't provide any drivers for it. As a general rule, HP does not provide "routine maintenance" updates and usually only releases updates to fix known problems. You could take the computer to a professional, however they will be able to do anything more than I suggested and maybe even not so much than that.

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