HP pavilion model RT3290 uninsfalling Win 8 &; installimg Win 7
I would like to uninstall win 8 & install win 7, but said that you can't do that with certain models, the serial number on my Pavilion is [personal information deleted]
Is there a problem with this device?
Hello:
FYI, your model is a HP Pavilion g7-2240us laptop PC.
In order to install W7 64 bit, here are my recommendations.
First of all, do your W8 recovery media set before trying to install W7. Once you install W7, the Recovery Manager will probably no longer work, and you will be up the Creek without a paddle if you need or want to reinstall W8.
Here's a guide to how to do this.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733
Then, you must change some settings in the BIOS to install and continue to run W7 on your model. Please see the info on the link below on how to do it.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03736054
After W7 install, you can use all the drivers and software for this model, except the Bluetooth.
DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE OF THIS MODEL
When you install the drivers, you install these first 4 in the order that I posted the and restart after every single driver installation.
1 Intel Chipset Installation Utility
2 Intel HD graphics driver (do not install graphics driver amd.) Your model has only the Intel HD graphics chip)
3 IDT Audio driver
4 Realtek LAN driver
Your model has the Ralink WiFi card (as you know, so use this driver).
Install the Realtek card reader driver. (in storage)
Under the section of chipset, install the USB 3.0 driver and Intel management engine interface driver
Install the HP ProtectSmart hard drive protection driver (under options).
Install the software cyberlink youcam for the webcam (under media)
Install software quick launch for the Fn keys
Install the bluetooth driver and software for bluetooth.
I think that should take care of everything.

HP Pavilion model 14-d005TX: Downgrade from windows 8; back to 8
I have a HP Pavilion model 14-d005TX.
It came with windows 8. 64-bit.
I went down the OS for windows 7-32 bit.
Now, I want to go back to 8-64 bit windows.
Can I do? How can I have my windows license 8 original provided with the laptop when I bought it?
I did not go to a backup of the OS before decommissioning.
Help, please.
Hello @AnneDonato,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!
I stumbled upon your post on the recovery of Windows 8 and wanted to help you!
Your laptop came with the recovery of Windows 8 disc? If Yes, then you can use that upgrade to Windows 8. If the software is not included with the notebook, then the laptop comes with a recovery partition which has a picture of Windows 8. You can try to use the system recovery to bring the laptop to its factory settings. This is to reformat the entire hard disk and reinstall the original operating system:
HP computers - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)
Keep in mind that if you have formatted the hard drive to install Windows 7, it is possible that your hard drive has more the recovery with Windows 8 image partition. In this case, the only way to upgrade to Windows 8, would be with the Windows 8 install/restore disc.

HP Pavilion model 17-G192NR: downgrade HP Pavilion model 17-G192NR for Windows 7
Is it possible to downgrade HP Pavilion model 17-G192NR of 10 of Windows to Windows 7 and maintain the touchscreen?
Hi@ron_n_az,
Welcome HP forums . The best place for all kinds of solutions, tips and settings for your questions/problems.
For the best experience on HP forum, see our Guide to HP Forums to learn more.
Decommissioning of the OS. Is this fair?
I will definitely help you.
HP has never tested model you PC for Windows 7.
After that, it is very difficult to find drivers for all the internal hardware components on your PC from HP for Windows 7.
Without a driver, most of the internal components will not work. It causes a lot of inconvenience to help you.
But again, it is your choice of switching between the operating system that you have the PC.
Hope that helps.

HP Pavilion A6700y Desktop using Win Vista won't start up
I bought a HP Pavilion model a6700y desktop running Windows Vista in November 2008. I plugged it in for the first time June 2014, after the installation, I registered it with HP and since it has been recorded, it has not completed a full boot sequence. He won ' stay long enough to download and install any updates. She is exceeded for any type of technical support of HP, so I'm on my own. Anyone have any ideas why this computer does not start? FYI - the BIOS battery maintains the date and time.
Buy a used computer from a place like Craigs list is a roll of the dice, you really don't know what you have found.
It seems to me that option 2 would be the obvious choice, at least you know what as your having and it's a reasonable price to pay. Mark the message that better help as solved if you wish. The decision is yours.
When you retrieve the computer and it is healthy, I suggest that you make every week a backup image to restore your computer to an exact copy, you have now, including the OS, programs and data. In this way, you will avoid all the hassles that you had. I suggest to Macrium reflect free site, Yoda would be proud of you:

Hello
1. are you able to see data from your external hard drive from your old computer?
2. are you able to detect the external hard drive with another computer?
3. you receive an error code or message?
I suggest you to check if you can see the external hard drive in Windows Explorer.
Try to connect the external hard drive to another port and check the issue.
Check also if the external hard drive works fine in the other computer.

Can someone (1) confirm that this model of laptop computer has an internal microphone and (2) say how to operate?
Story:
I've had this laptop for several years with Win 7 64 bit, recently upgraded to win 10 64-bit edition. When you run Windows 7, I've certainly used an external microphone with the Jack, but I'm not sure I've ever used the internal mic. Yesterday I tried to use Skype and couldn't get the microphone to work (I don't have an external mike where I am now). Started trying to analyze and the only peripheral record listed in the recording of the sound control Panel tab is "Stereo Mix, IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" - don't know if this applies to the internal mic. Speaking to, or by tapping on the hole of the microphone above the display caused no response at all in the level to the right of the window bars.
Began to doubt that I have an internal mike, so looked up specifications. On http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02910495, I found "Webcam with integrated digital Microphone (VGA)", which led me to go on webcam integrated under imaging devices. Still no final confirmation that I have a mike internal, but I found a laptop computer with mike identified next to the webcam image, this corresponds to my laptop, so I really think that the material is there.
I used Device Manager to check the updates for the device webcam (HP Webcam-101), and he says that the drivers are up to date. I did the same thing for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC, also updated. I think that the drivers have been updated when I upgraded to win 10 in February.
That's it - information or suggestions are welcome.
Hi there @BruceBon,
Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! I read your message on the HP Support Forums and see that you are having problems with the microphone on your HP Pavilion g7t-1100 CTO Notebook PC.
The reason why you can't find loads or User Guides/Manuals books appropriate because the model you have is a laptop CTO, this means it is customized/configured to order. Where did you get to buy your laptop?
When I went to the Service Guide and HP Pavilion G7 maintenance (generic), it shows an internal microphone located at the top of the LCD, but again, your laptop is a CTO model this is why there is no specification of final product because each of them can be customized.
You can try to look over some of the screenshots in the microphone troubleshooting document. There are a few sections of this document that you can try.
- Using the troubleshooting tool
- Check the settings of the sound
- Rise in the level of the microphone volume
If you right click you see him show disabled devices and display devices disconnected in the recording of the Properties tab?
They have check marks next to them?

SMBus and usb drivers for Pavilion P6-2312ea running Win 7 x 64 3
Hello
My step daughter has finally threw his arms up in the air and agreed that win 8 is more pain on a desktop that is worthwhile and is not for her.
We have installed Windows 7 64 bit and are now just trying to find the compatible drivers for SM Bus controller and usb 3.0.
I'm assuming that the drivers for usb 3.0 as the keyboard and mouse are ok, just the 2 front usb 3.0 do not work (although that seemed to have given up after a week).
We executed the 'original' pilots when he was running Win 8 x 64, but they don't seem to have. Maybe a compatibility problem, can be me as it was very early this morning when I gave up for a while.
Any help/pointers gratefully received
TIA

Pavilion g7-1272: remove Win 10 and reinstall Win 7 Home premium
You will need to uninstall the terrible 10 Windows. Installed Dec 2015, past the little-known return period of 30 days. I did the recovery disks when the Pavilion was purchased with preload Win 7. Tried to create Windows 7 recovery discs, blocked by Win 10. The hp Recovery Mgr download software updates are blocked by Win 10. It is clear that Microsoft does not want to retrace all previous versions, 10 users.
Any help is appreciated, short of trashing this good laptop. Thank you.
PS Luckily I still have an old laptop with XP that allows me to use some software and hardware 10 prevents!

HP Pavilion dv-7-4180us: upgrade pavilion dv-7 from Win 7 to 10 to win?
Hello. I have a HP pavilion dv-7-4180us laptop. I think to be upgraded to win 10 when it comes out. The Best Buy Geek Squad says they can do and that my laptop is extensible. However, I need more details and guarantees. Where would I go to find out exactly how my laptop would be compromised if I'm updating so Windows 7 to Windows 10? Whatever it is will stop working, like my CD rom drive, for example? Thank you.
Hi @Syn83,
Welcome to the HP Forums!

You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.
I understand that the Best Buy Geek squad you advised that your would be able to upgrade to Windows 10. Want to know what are the other effects it can have.
As Windows 10 is still in the beta phase and not the final version it has no way of knowing the exact result.
