  Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I read your post about the issue of upgrade and wanted to help you!  I understand that the office restarts every 20-45 minutes, and you are looking to downgrade back to the Windows 7 operating system.

  If you decide to stay with Windows 10, you can try to solve the problem of reset, by examining the following document:

  HP computers - the computer restarts unexpectedly (Windows 7)

  If you're still having problems, then you should be able to use back to a previous generation option, in your system settings: HP Notebook PC - upgrade to Windows 10

  As you say, this feature is only available for the first 28 days after the installation of Windows 10.  Once you return to your original operating system, check to see if you encounter the same problem.

• Bc000nx i5 HP Pavilion: how downgrade windows 06:50

  Because windows 10 or 8.1, I do not

  Please help me

  I have never run the program before, so unfortunately, I can't help you to operate.

  As far as I know is unless you can get the USB3 drivers to install, you will not be able to install W7 on this platform.

  Another Member of the forum copied the folder to the driver on a flash drive and used the menu advanced in installation, load a driver through the driver's record and loaded the necessary USB3 drivers.

• HP Pavilion desktop computer - 550-a209: have to downgrade HP Pavilion Desktop - 550-a209

  I have a desktop computer HP Pavilion - 550-a209 I need 10 windows downgrade to windows 7 because of some problems of software compatibility to our office.

  BUT I can only find win 10 drivers on the HP support site.
  Any ideas on what I could do here?

  Vik808, welcome to the forum.

  I did some research to see if I could find Win 7 drivers for your motherboard.  The APU/processor was released in 2015.  It has integrated video chipset.  The only drivers available are to win 10.  Therefore, I don't think that you will be able to upgrade to Windows 7.

• HP PAVILION 15-ab115la: Pavilion 15-ab115la: Downgrade Windows 10

  Hello

  Last week, I bought a new HP Pavilion, it included 10 windows.

  I used to work with Windows 7 and I'would like to downgrade 10 Windows to Windows 7, is it possible? y at - it a disvantages?

  Is useful to mention that I have a legal key for Windows 7.

  Additional, I know that the Windows 10 key is "embedded" in the BIOS, so if I downgrade to Windows 7, then return to Windows 10, the value of the key will not be required because it's inside the BIOS?

  Or should I get the value with a tool?

  Thank you

  I used to work with Windows 7 and I'would like to downgrade 10 Windows to Windows 7, is it possible? y at - it a disvantages?

  You're not really downgrading, because Microsoft "Downgrade rights" apply only to Windows Pro/Business. You simply install another version of Windows on your computer. Yes, it's possible! Yes, there are drawbacks... like the lack of support of the HP drivers

  Is useful to mention that I have a legal key for Windows 7.

  You will need to use a key of unused valid PID and COA legally install Windows 7 on your new PC.

  Additional, I know that the Windows 10 key is "embedded" in the BIOS, so if I downgrade to Windows 7, then return to Windows 10, the value of the key will not be required because it's inside the BIOS? Or should I get the value with a tool?

  Using the HP recovery media you create before changing anything on the computer... you should have no problem to return the computer to a factory State, if you wish.

  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.

  I can't control the brightness

  Go into the BIOS and check to see if the action keys is enabled.

  If the action keys is not enabled, you will need to hold down the Fn key to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen.

  To identify the drivers, you will need to enter in the Device Manager, right click on an unknown device and then click Properties. Which will open the properties of the device window. See the following image.

  

  Copy the string and use as keywords in a Google or Bing search. The result will tell you what its manufacturer and the model of the device. You can also post here in your thread and I or someone else can help you with it.

• p189sa: HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p189sa Downgrade from Windows 7

  Hello

  I bought this laptop HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p189sa with little window 8.1 64.

  I didn't know the poor performance and 8.1 window issues.

  Although I tried this OS, I want to downgrade to a reliable operating system and best quality.

  Why change?

  -L' network wifi icon is not working properly, when I change the network disables it in itsalf and it is impossible to solve it it then I have to restart the laptop.

  -L'interface is orrible

  -Sometimes the phone takes hours before turning off or I never turn off

  It is longer so the reasons why I want to change this OS not usable and hostile.

  The downgrade problem is drivers that are not available on the hp Web site.

  Can I use the drivers wind8 for wind7?

  Maybe a program can adapt to drivers for wind7?

  I am not able to develop pilots by myself so what do you suggest?

  Hi Paul,.

  I installed the Realtak you gave me and Bluetooth works properly now.

  Just to let you know that the Synaptics on the repo of hp drivers cause a crash on wind7. I used the drivers on their site here .

  The laptop looks good for today, I'll do some tests of regression during these days.

• Downgrade HP Pavilion G6 2300st of Windows 8 for Windows 7. No driver?

  Hello

  We bought a HP Pavilion G6 2300st to our parents with Windows 8 is installed. Unfortunately, they have some diffuculties with Windows 8. So I thought that we had to downgrade to windows 7.

  I tried to install Windows 7 on last night and I was not be able to do so because of the Legacy Support and UEFI etc.

  After that, little research on the web and I think I'll be able to install windows 7 now. However, when I was searching the Web, I realized there are a lot of people have the same problems of course problem drivers. Then I find that G6 2300 st has no W7 drivers.

  I wonder if anyone here downgraded G6 2300 st for W7 or not?

  I found someone here downgrade the G6-2306el to W7 linked below.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-e-g-Windows-8-and-software/HP-Pavilion-G6-23...

  That is the question; Can I use the same drivers who said in these posts?

  If not, could someone please help me find the drivers work for G6 2300 st for OS Win7?

  Kind regards

  Hello:

  You can use all the W7 x 64 drivers and this model on your software.

  DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK FILES

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=5278311

  Your model uses the graphics from Intel, AMD, not a driver.

  In addition, you should make your W8 recovery media set before installing W7, because the recovery partition will not work probably, just in case you want to or need to reinstall W8.
