HP Pavilion G6 - 2004TX - Windows 8 upgrade help
In the HP Upgrade Instructions ( http://www8.hp.com/in/en/pdf/CNB003EN_tcm_188_1315624.pdf ), my laptop is mentioned as compatible with the Secure Boot (my laptop has Windows 8 UEFI BIOS).
But the upgrade of Windows 8 Assistant software that tells my laptop BIOS is not compatible with Secure Boot.
I am in a dilemma whether 'Upgrade on the spot' or 'Clean Install' for this reason.
If I install clean, then only I will be able to use the secure boot and other related functions. Help, please.
No need to worry.
Even if the upgrade wizard say you that your pc can not allow secure startup, you can.
Follow the steps below:
(1) back up all your important data.
(2) download all windows drivers for your model 8
(3) make sure that you have Windows 8 in a DVD or Usb drive
(4) when the laptop is turned off, insert the USB/DVD disc
(5) go to the menu option to start by pressing the correct key of F (function key)
(6) you should see an option to start (CD/DVD drive or USB key), ending with
(7) install windows as usual, while scores first delete all existing partitions, and THEN only to make new partitions 8) once that windows 8 is installed and up and running, restart your laptop and enter the BIOS setup 9) go to boot options (10) disable legacy support. (11) load the HP Factory default keys (12) select the secure boot. (13) FINISHED it!
you HAVE to install windows 8 in UEFI mode, otherwise you cannot activate the secure boot.
# The UEFI of DVD installation option does not appear. > Windows 8 boot USB stick

HP Pavilion t775.uk Windows 7 upgrade
Hello world
I upgraded my PC to Windows 7, but I don't know if all the drivers for the motherboard, especially the audio drivers are included in the installation of Windows 7. With Windows XP, there is an audio program that identified the plugs at the front and the back of the PC and there is a facility to test the speakers and the microphone. Although everything seems to work OK, I would be grateful for any advice.

Operating system Windows 7 (all updates downloaded and installed)
Card mother Asus PTGD1 - audio and integrated graphics card
I hope someone can help
Hello:
The specifications of the product indicate that your PC has a Realtek HD audio chip.
Windows has installed a generic driver that works, but you can install the latest audio driver directly from Realtek which should provide the features and additional audio settings.
Accept the agreement, download and install either the first or the second pilot on the list depending on whether your installation of W7 is 32 or 64 bit.
Looking at the rest of the hardware of your PC came with, probably, everything else is fine.

HP Pavilion p7-1030 graphic card upgrade help
OK, so I have a desktop HP Pavilion p7-1030, and the graphics card is crap, I need to update something much better.
I know that I'll probably need a new power supply too, if anyone knows a good combo?Also, where can I find the old graphics card and POWER supply in order to remove and replace?
I'm playing BF3, so it must be good.
Any help is appreciated.Zxcvbnm0, welcome to the forum.
According to the specifications of the computer, there is only the embedded video. It is integrated in the motherboard, so you cannot remove it. It will be automatically disabled when a discreet card is installed. Integrated video is never good for video intensive games or other programs.
I like Corsair and OCZ PSU. I recommend at least 500W. This will give you more choices of video cards. You must measure the current PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose. Normally, I buy my parts from Newegg.
Here is an example of a good food:
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139028
I like the graphics cards XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order. I recommend you to stay at 9 "long or less. This ensures that it will not go in the space provided.
Here is an example of a video card that should work:
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814150561
The PSU is where the power cord is connected. If you do upgrades, it will help mark the wires of the PSU to make sure that you connect them correctly. The connectors of the motherboard must be labelled, and more, the wires on the new power supply.

HP Pavilion G6-1116so, Window XP drivers help
Hi all!
My name is Damien, I was born in Iceland, but I lived in Sweden since I was 3 years old.
I am currently 19 years old and student I hope to become an Automation engineer.
I bought a HP Pavilion G6-1116so to use at the school, which was a very good computer about the price.
I need the computer to run software (most of them only works on Win XP), PLC programming
and I will also need to connect to a domain in our schools network.I am / was running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (there's only a PLC programming software that can be run on the 64 bit OS, and I'm not allowed to use areas either...)
I managed to install Windows XP Professional SP3 on a second partition of my drive.
(With the help of his invaluable guides in this forum, all this respect for the people who wrote them.) (Quand bien même ils sont vieux abit ))Now I can't enter my Win 7 (I'm looking for an atm solution, but good! If anyone here knows a good and easy way to fix the bootloader, tell me )
And I don't have either all pilots working with Win XP. (I tried, but I can't find them anywhere)
Could someone please be good enough to help out me?
Best regards Damien
(PS. My English is not very big, so if there is anything you don't understand just tell me and I'll try to explain what I mean.)

Upgrade to Windows 10 is a matter of choice. From what we have seen so far, it's safer and faster. As long as there's no compatibility problems, go ahead. Check the GWX icon at the bottom right of the screen to see if upgrade problems.
Look at this FAQ on Windows 10:

HP Pavilion p6206uk Desktop PC: HP Pavilion p6206uk desktop PC ram upgrade help?
Hello
I want to know how I can improve my ram to, it says on the specifications with a 32 bit OS 4 GB but it does not say how I can get with a 64 bit so if anyone could tell me that would be great.
Hello:
The specs say also that the maximum amount of memory you can install in each location of your PC is 2 GB, and since there are only two slots of memory, which is the maximum amount of memory, you can install your PC is 2 x 2 GB regardless of 32 or 64-bit.
HP tends to put this notation to OS 4 GB 32-bit on the set of their specifications.

HP Pavilion p6210y: Office flashing after upgrade Windows 10
I have a flashing desktop (goes black and office) after upgrade to Windows 10. Once connected, it is fine for about 10-15 seconds, then it starts flashing. I couldn't do anything - click on anything except CTRL-ALT-DEL to go to the Task Manager.
I did the upgrade 2 x already. Before my first attempt, I do nothing with my PC - I did not update the driver. When I arrived the office flashing after improvement, I panicked and immediately brought back to Windows 7. I was able to get to the window of recovery during the period of 10-15 seconds just after the connection. Fortunately, he returned to Windows 7.
After the first test, I read a little about the similar problem and so I tried some of the proposed solutions - update the drivers on my PC, to disable reporting services Windows (all on 10 to win), to try to go to Safe Mode.
So I tried again. I updated all the things I can to update (for most drivers) before the upgrade. Do you have PC Clean up. I had the office flashes again. It's the same thing. So while they are flashing, I tried to disable the windows reporting services that is very difficult to do with the Office of flashing. He did nothing clearly. So I went in Mode without failure. After starting in safe mode, I got the normal screen for about 5 seconds, but a blue window quickly flashed and then the desktop on Mode without failure just turned black, only the visible cursor.
So, I rolled back to Windows 7 new.
I don't have a lot of things/programs on my PC that I uninstall programs right away if I know that I will not use. I do scan of cleaning/Virus from PC on a regular basis.
Information about my machine:
HP Pavilion p6210y
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
Video card: NVIDIA GEForce 9100
All the suggestions/help will be very appreciated.
The only thing that solved the issue is reset my machine while keeping my personal files.
I've never understood what really caused it.
Thus, after the upgrade when the screen is flashing, I have reset the PC.

If the computer hangs at the HP logo screen, try to clean the vents from the computer to the air and then restarting the laptop.
Please note , remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.
Have you tried a hard reset?
Have you tried to Test for hardware failures?
Are - that you receive error messages or error codes?

HP Pavilion 17 Laptop: I've upgraded to Windows 8.1and get a dll error
I have a HP Pavilion laptop. Windows 8, 64 bit I've finally upgraded to 8.1 Windows because my son said I should. It seems fine except for this error I get once I connect to the pc and I could be in Facebook or just browsing. Error message reads as follows:
Startup problem
C:\Progra~1\COMMON~1\System\SysMenu.dll
Specified module could not be found.
I looked online for this error message. I see many say a word about malaware. I don't know what it is. As much I know it started right after the upgrade to 8.1 today.
Any help or suggestion? Much appreciated!
Hey @vmamw23,.
Try watching this blog we give you a step by step solution. This link comes from a third party site. Please read everything before you start.
You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop.
When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.
It shows me it seems to be interference with the task of software, usually your virus protection.
You may need to disable this software, and then run Windows Update.
I hope this fixes things for you.
Thank you.

HP Pavilion DV3 - 4031TX Windows 7 32-bit upgrade to 64-bit with the OEM installation?
Hi all
I have a HP Pavilion dv3-4031TX that came with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit OEM preloaded.
I want to move to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
I have run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and confirmed that my hardware is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit.
I don't mind doing a clean install.
I have my product key OEM with me, but no disc (BONE came preloaded).
Is it possible to switch to 64-bit by doing a system recovery? If Yes, where can I change the installation options? (as clicking 'Custom' instead of 'Upgrade' in the retail version Installer)
I'm not sure if the OEM installer comes with this option. Can someone tell me? (screenshots will be appreciated)
Another question, if the OEM Setup program does not come with 64 bit and I have to clean install the retail version, my OEM product key will work?
Thanks in advance.

HP Pavilion &; "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor came across a problem.
Windows 7 would work on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6132eu)?
So I used "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" of the Microsofts. Which caused the error "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor stumbled into a problem that your scanning devices. Upgrade Advisor needs to be able to scan your devices to determine whether your computer is capable of running Windows 7 ".
The laptop is probably not good enough for Windows 7, why?
I assumed, the Upgrade Advisor would tell me, what pieces of hardware is / are not specific to Windows 7.
In a forum Technet, say, the Adviser is blocked by some HP hardware. Which?
Best regards, Willem
My problem has been resolved.
Previously, the problem with "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor BETA.
I waited two months - now, I executed the Adviser again, resulting in "an important upgrade".
And guess: update Advisor works like a rocket, finishing with a nice report with minor problems.
So I think that the problem was a "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" - problem - not a HP computer laptop-problem.
