HP Pavilion g7-2224nr Notebook: trying to Win Win 7 8, now need to return back

Sorry if this has been raised many times before. I looked around, but couldn't find something that helped.

Stupidly, I installed Win 7 on top of win 8. Everything works, except some drivers not settled. I've been looking around for Win 7 drivers, but only sites I've found look scammy to me, and they seem to everyone wanting money and data personal.

I don't know what the best course of action is here. Should I keep trying to find drivers for Win 7, or should I give up and reinstall Win 8? I do not have the OEM drive, so I don't know even how to do this.

Pride, pride, arrogance. It became me that HP does not have such a dirty trick. Looks like they are trying to force the consumer to switch to Windows 8, which is something I never had the intention to do so. But then I never had intention to switch to Windows 95, Windows XP (I liked, as it happened) or Windows 7 (with which I can now live).

Could someone help me please get out of this mess?

Any help gratefully received. TIA.

  • No key for don't win 7 and the need to return to original vista which i have a key.

    Original title: product key and vista installation.

    Hi I am not the wisest to my problem that I have read and tried many answers to my problem. I have 22 days to activate my windows 7. However, I don't have the key but I have the key for the original installation that has vista. I don't have vista reinstall disk therefore aimed to download Vista from a microsoft official, but the link does not work. I cannot afford to buy a new copy of vista and I was told that Microsoft can help you with this. I need a solution and an easy breakdown on how or what I should do to get installed it again. I'm at risk of losing my laptop because of this activation problem. So to sum up, I have no key for win 7 and need to return to original vista which i have a key. Now having need for instructions and vista software how to install etc... Thanks if you can help.

    Hello

    Your problem is you installed Windows 7, but do not have the product key to activate, if you want to go back to the original OS that came with your machine, namely Vista.

    _____________________________________________

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs):

    http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

    The download links and information on how to make the ISO file, and then create the Setup DVD above are at this link:

    "How to download a Vista ISO and create a Setup DVD or USB"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/301852-Vista-ISO-download-create-installation-DVD-USB.html

    "How to create a USB of Vista Installation key '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/181538-USB-bootable-Vista-installation-Flash-thumb-drive.html

    And here are instructions on how to burn ISO disk images:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/isorecorder.html

    ___________________________________

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    ___________________________________

    Installation of Windows 7 was able to destroy this method:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

    ___________________________________

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • G4-11125dx: USB Driver issues HP Pavilion g4-1125dx Notebook PC model #: LW342UA

    Hello.  I have a:

    HP Pavilion g4-1125dx Notebook PC

    Model #: LW342UA

    When it has been upgraded to windows 10 I lost all USB functionality.  The Device Manager uses a driver, but it does not work properly.  "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" and "Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller" have the yellow exclaimation points with the USB symbol next to them.  Under properties, it reads:

    Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    {Unable to load device driver}
    HS device driver could not be loaded.
    Error status is 0 x %x

    When I try to roll back the driver nothing is available.  When I try to update, it says I already have the best driver.  I tried the windows update and Easy Driver software but no luck there.

    I confirmed that I do infact has power to make ports (USB fan :/) so I don't think that it is a hardware problem, especially since it worked before upgrade.)

    I know that its a laptop older, but I upgraded the CPU to a quad core Phenom II N970 and this 'thing' is running if good, I do not give up on it.  Ethernet and wireless are working properly and there is no other troubled hardware issue.

    Thanks in advance,

    Cory

    I tried to go back to windows 7, but I've been spending the period from 30.  The laptop is not the recovery disks, or a partition to do.  For the heck of it I advanced and reinstalled windows 10.  Now the USB ports work correctly so I guess it was something that happened during the initial upgrade?  Anyway thanks for your help!

  • Pavilion 15 p152-nu: Drivers for Win 7

    Hello.
    I have a Pavilion 15 p152-nu. After I bought it, I had some problems finding drivers for my LAN and wifi for windows 7. After that, I installed win 8.1 and fixed these issues. Now I use windows 10. And honestly win 10 and 8.1 are make me sick. I want to revisit the use of win 7 but in the list of drivers for my laptop, there is no drivers for 7 (in the drop-down operating system there are only 10 and 8.1). My question is:
    Drivers for 8.1 works on win 7. And if not, is it still possible to find suitable drivers?

  • HP Pavilion g6-1313sh Notebook: dual Radeon graphics card - cannot enter bios mode fixed

    Hello!

    I recently bought this laptop apart from my friend and is struggling with this for a few weeks now.

    I was on the forum every day for a few hours without result.

    so, my laptop is HP Pavilion 1313sh g6 with Win7. I have the latest version of the bios, so I could put my gpu bios mode set instead of dynamic.

    Here's the problem... When my setting was dynamic, I got the "switchable graphics" option and I could put the preset by application. as many people pointed out, it really does not work, so I went back to fix.

    This option is now missing. so I tried in CCC, following this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03048374 in the fixed bit.

    It is, I have no change option... I only get the graphics card AMD Radeon Dual 'activate' or disable... but not the button to switch permanently to the highest performance card... checked in CCC, it recognize my 2 cards under hardware (1st HD6520G 2nd is Hd7400M).

    I start to tear up the rest of my hair. Please can someone tell me what I miss? as said, the most recent drivers from the site is all settled.

    Thank you!

    Hi @SmokeyJohnny ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion g6-1313sh Notebook and issues with graphics switchable. 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.

    If this does not resolve the problem would be to uninstall the graphics drivers listed in your device manager. Reboot the laptop and it must be reinstalled the proper drivers. Yours is the AMD Radeon HD 6520 + 7450 Mr. here are your drivers if you need.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • HP Pavilion g6-2240ea Notebook: plugged in, not charging to help!

    Hello!

    I bought my HP Pavilion 2240ea g5 in April 2013. Everything worked smoothly, until I started noticing, he had stopped charging. It works very well with the adapter plugged in, but it will not load. Initially, he read (95% charged, plugged in, does not support), but now it has 0% fee and does not charge. I ran several diagnostics on HP Support Assistant, who said that my battery is fine and is in need of calibration. When testing of charger of HP running, it shows that my charger is charging once more, only for it to end a minute later. I also tried to uninstall the battery software Microsoft in the section battery Device Manager/Programs, but it does not work. I also tried the method of closure, withdrawal of adapter, press and hold the power button / stop, turn on again with the battery, turn on with just battery etc. But it does not work.

    He has not charged for about a year now, so even if my battery is almost his second year, he stopped the charge after only one year. I thought must be replaced, but the HP support assistant help desk suggests my battery is very well and is seems not fresh, but only when the diagnostic runs.

    I would be grateful for a little of help and advice on if I should just buy a new battery.

    Thank you

    Hi @MegantheRose,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion g6-2240ea Notebook and questions with the load. Here is a link to test and calibrate the battery. Here is a link to test the ac adapter.

    I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You can restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload of the default settings of the BIOS that could help and only updates that go through the HP Support Assistant.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some troubleshooting problems.

    Plug the power supply directly to a wall outlet works. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.
