HP Pavilion Slimline s5 - 1140d: need help with relocation to Windows 7 from Windows 10 Technical Preview

Hello. I am currently using a Windows 10 Technical Preview in my office and want to install the official version of Windows 10. However, Microsoft has answered me, in order to install the FREE Windows Home 10 fresh new official retail version, I have to go back to the previous version which is Windows 7 then updated via windows update. I tried to check with HP Recovery Manager, but there is no option to return to windows 7. Only it has option to reset the tech 10 preview windows. So I went to the Microsoft website to download the ISO of Windows 7 files to install in flash player, it asks for the product key. And then I entered the key correctly which is stuck on my Windows product key sticker desktop. But he didn't and the message that this is a key of the OS preinstalled, contact your manufacturer. Now, I'm stuck with how to return to Windows 7! I need help ASAP! Thank you. I did backup and everything so much already.

Yes, M$ makes it seem as if the OEM product key will work, but it does not work. There are choices and it depends on how you wish to just to proceed.

As the model number is not included in the post, it is only a general Council, here.  You can make one of these to restore Windows 7 to useful step.

(1) reinstall Windows from the recovery disks set - if you do not, order of HP for a low price ~ $ 25 - $30 US

(2) check if the recovery Partition (usually D :) there is and run recovery from that)

3) reinstall using Winows 7 retail disc and allows to activate the COA key

(4) buy 10 Windows and install

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s3760in D: need help in Clean install Windows 10 pro 64-bit?

    Hello

    For the past few months I am running windows 10 pro where I had to upgrade windows 8.1 pro 32 - bit windows 10 pro 32-bit. If my system is activated in windows 10 pro and it is authentic.

    When I checked in the type of system, it says operating system 32-bit, x 64 processor.  4 GB RAM only 3.12 GB of RAM is usable.

    This means that my processor supports 64-bit operating system. That's why I intend to clean windows install 10 pro and install the 64-bit version so that I can use all 4 GB of RAM.

    That's why went into a tool for creating media and downloaded Mediacreation Toolx64 but when I try to launch the app it shows error "this app cant run on your pc. But Mediacreation tool for 32 bit gently. According to me, given that my current OS is 32-bit so mediacreation toolx64 is not running.

    So I was wondering if I run 32-bit tool mediacreation and choose 'create multimedia installation for another pc' and chosen architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) times, then the clean installation of windows pro 10 OS will I have the option to choose between the version 64-bit and 32-bit version?

    [2] already my windows 10 pro is active in 32-bit version, I get a product key error when I clean install 10 pro for the 64 bit version of windows?

    [3] will be my windows 10 64-bit pro is activated? Since my windows 10 pro turned in a 32-bit version.

    Microsoft memo said "Your PC will activate online automatically as long as the same edition of Windows 10 has been activated successfully on this PC using the free Windows 10 upgrade offer."

    HI Varadar,

    You're right, you choose the installation program of the media creation tool that corresponds to your current system, but create a support for another PC and select 64-bit or both.  I would choose 64-bit.

    Yes, what you plan should work.  Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 32 - bit and Windows checked 10 32 - bit is set, you can use Media Setup to switch to Windows 10 64 - bit.  But... I could ask you to wait a month.  It was reported on the sites a Updatefor Windows 10 is expected in November.  This update will include some changes and corrections that we have already published to our group of insiders test.  The recent blog post is hereand scroll to the bottom of reading on the Activation stuff.  We also wrote about the changes, including the news of your task in our own forum.

    What do you think should work now today, if there is no problem or bug there is no backup.  But if you wait a bit, then the backup as explained will use your Windows 8.1 Pro key into your HP motherboard.

    I hope this helps,

  • Need help with my Mail window. I can't export my message to the PST format. I keep getting the message error "an error occurred during initialization of MAPI".

    Hello

    Need help with my Mail window. I can't export my message to the PST format. I keep getting the message error "an error occurred during initialization of MAPI". Y at - it solution or another method?

    Hi ErikLee,

    Do you have MS Outlook installed on your computer?

    Windows mail import and export opportunities are limited to an Outlook .pst file or an Exchange Server mailbox. They are available only if MS Outlook is installed.
    If MS Outlook is not installed and you start an import or export action, the necessary support files are not present for Windows mail complete the operation. Then I suggest you to install Outlook temporarily and see if the problem is resolved.

    Follow the instructions below and check if the problem is resolved.

    1. reboot your computer, and then start Windows Mail.
    2. on the Tools menu, click Options.
    3. in the connection tab, click on edit to open the Internet Properties dialog box.
    4. in the tab programs, click on an application other than Windows mail e-mail in the e-mail list. Click on apply and then click OK.
    5. click OK again to close the Options dialog box.
    6. exit Windows mail and restart Windows mail.

    If this does not work, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail to import or export messages that may help you resolve the issue.

    To download Windows Live Mail, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
    http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

    For more information about Windows Live Mail, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  • HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p199: need help with the installation and activation of 10 Windows after completely uninstalling Windows

    Hello HP assistants.

    I need help for a specific problem. My laptop came with an installation of Windows 8.1. Then I upgraded to 10 Windows when it became available. After a while, I decided to uninstall Windows completely (to wipe the hard drive) and install a Linux operating system.

    Now, I decided that I want to use some software that is not available on Linux and if I want to reinstall Windows 10. My problem is that Windows has completely disappeared in a form any. So now, I need to download Windows 10 from an official source (which I think can be done fairly easily from the official source of Microsoft, although if there is a better, HP official medium to do this then please recommend it) and then I need to activate Windows some how.

    As has been made clear, I have the right to use Windows 8.1 and 10 but I would need to download Windows 10 and turn it on. Is there a way to do this? I'm literally stuck without solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    As long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  • Need help with the Advisor Windows 7

    I have a Dell Dimension 9100 runnings XP sp3. The Advisor gives me the following warnings:

    Version of Messenger 4.7.03001 has known problems

    Should I update? The link only takes me to the Microsoft Web site.

    CyberLink PowerDVD 5.0 - paid made available

    The link takes me to the Cyberlink Web site.  Is a required upgrade?

    GTK + runtime environment 2.1.14 - made available

    Is a required update? The link takes me to the Web site of GTK, but we don't know what to download.

    Thank you very much. Any help will be greatly appreciated

    AS83

    You don't have to worry about Messenger. This is just a warning. Messenger is no longer part of Windows 7.

    Regarding PowerDVD, if you do not want to pay for the upgrade, you don't need to. You can download VLC, a free multimedia player that can read DVDs and works on Windows 7.

    And finally, for the environment GTK + runtime, some program requires it will reinstall it when you install your applications under Windows 7. I wouldn't worry.

  • Need help with relocation of 11 items.

    ???  The hard drive on my new computer with Windows 8.1 is replaced because it is defective.  How can I reinstall Photoshop elements 11?  I have a disc, but I was told it will download only once--what I did in January.

    you are allowed two simultaneous installation/activation with your standalone license.  you have / had on your old hd which would ideally have been deactivated before removal to preserve your installs two/active.

    You can install/enable all the unlimited number of adobe, as mentioned products many times but, two only at a given time (and both to be used by you).

  • Need help with this problem without downgrading from Vista to XP pro.

    OK so I have a problem, but it is in a common category, it is a rare problem as given that everywhere I look I can't seem to find someone who has the same problem.

    Question #1: Heres Alright so my question downgrade from vista 64 bit of the month last to XP pro SP2... Well, I'm going through the process of installation very well, wipe the hard drive, make new partion (or how ever spell you it) etc. It starts the formatting, and it installs everything seems to be fine. Now when it comes to the reboot screen it counts down it restarts correctly now, this is where the problem occurs. During the restart of the process rather than continue through the installation process which should be, where it says "Press any key to boot from the CD" soon after that instead of going into the installation process it says "disc read error" or something of the sort just underneath. Help, please!

    Question #2 also now that I re installed vista I did all good also, erased the hard disk (even I tried to install XP on) just to make sure they had no data on this. Well now, during startup it asks if I want "a previous version of windows" or "Windows XP" as if I double started somehow. Vista loads still very well when I choose it however. If I managed to do an install own success of XP it should fix right?

    Thanks again.

    Hi Kevin112,

    Thanks for posting. Follow these steps on your XP disk.

    1. place your Windows XP installation CD and start to her...
    2. Press any button to start the Windows installation (don't worry... we do not actually use the installer at this point)
    3. wait a few moments for the installation program starts, when you see repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, and then press the R key
    4. wait until you see this screen, enter the number of your master installation. (Typically 1 to C:\Windows)
    5. press ENTER.
    6. If you are prompted to do so, enter your administrator password. If you don't have one, leave the field blank and press to enter.
    7. from the command prompt, type: chkdsk/r (note the space between chkdsk and / r)
    Allow it to complete undisturbed.
    8. remove the disc, then restart.

    After completing this, then format it and try to reinstall XP again. As for your other question if completely format you your drive using XP you should not see the previous version of XP. The only reason you would see that it's the Vista BCD is located on a second hard drive in your computer. If this is the case and you want to do an install own format two readers please.

    I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST
