HP Pavillion DV6: Recovery of Windows 7

Hello

I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV6 comes with windows 7 home Premium a few months ago, I upgraded to windows 10. I would go back on windows 7. Is this possible?

I tried the HP Recovery Manager, but I get a message saying that rebecca.exe is not approved. Tried to use the tool windows 7 installation support, but since the product key for windows 7 came with the laptop, I get an error before you download media.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

It depends on if the Recovery partition is still on the hard drive.  When you look on the screen 'This PC' does show another named D: Recovery drive?  If it is still in place, you can start recovery - which will reinstall Windows 7 as to how it was when new - and every thing will be back.  Normally, you can start Recovery Manager by pressing F11 immediately by pressing the Start button.  It would be better if you have saved important data to separate media before doing so.

Another way would be to use the set of diskettes of recovery that you should have when the PC was new.

  • HP Pavillion DV6 - 8.1 Windows upgrade fails on devices to prepare

    I made several attempts to upgrade my HP Pavillion DV6 of Windows 8 6b90eo for windows 8.1, all have failed. A few times I got the 0xC1900101 - 0 x 40017 but also the end not even. The installation fails during the step "Getting Ready devices" and 73%, the screen goes black, but turned on, and nothing happens for a very long time (I let it sit for several hours). I ve read a lot about the problem and I realize that I'm certainly not alone with this problem. I tried several ideas that I found all over the internet, including:

    • Disconnect any external devices
    • Install all updates via Windows Update
    • Install the latest video drivers for my AMD Radeon HD 6770 m
    • I m does not work any program anti-virus except Microsofts own Windows Defender, which I tried to turn it off, with no difference in the result.

    Initially, the machine ran Windows 7, installed by HP. This has been upgraded to Windows 8 by me without any problems. So, I'm not under a version of Windows 8 own but an upgrade. I thought to install a clean version but if I understand the licensing for my requests of version upgrade that I have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and activating a clean Windows 8 install fails with my license key. Is this true?

    The WindowsUpdate.log file is empty for the period between the computer restarts during the installation up to the crash to get the loan of devices. There is therefore no clues.

    After a manual stop, after that the installation failed, it restores the previous version of Windows.

    The computer has switchable graphics with Intel HD Graphics 3000 card, which many will report it as a problem. Don't know what to do about that though. Some have commented that I should try to uninstall all videodrivers for AMD and Intel without reboot the machine and then install Windows 8.1, what I tried haven´t. Microsoft recommend it as an alternative? I tried to update the driver but the Intel driver update utility indicates that the installed driver for the HD Graphics 3000 is a personalized by the manufacturer driver and that the driver may not be updated.

    I ve checked with HP and they have not tested to improve the DV6 6b90eo to Windows 8.1 and accordingly recommend to continue running Windows 8. I have a hard time accepting.

    Maybe someone at Microsoft for assistance? Y at - it files of newspapers that I can see and get an understanding of why the update fails? Y at - there anyone out there who have actually managed to upgrade the HP Pavillion DV6 6b90eo to Windows 8.1? If Yes, have you had difficulties, how do you have that solve you, or does the job of upgrading without flaw for you?

    Thank you for your help and comments.

  • HP Pavillion DV6: Updaing for Windows 10 knocks out audio Beats

    Upgrade to Windows 10 and said goodbye to my audio. (souds like mutilated)  Had to reinstall widows 7 and all is well again.  How can I upgrade to Windows 10 and work around this audio problem?

    Hello:

    Because HP does not support your laptop for W10, the only suggestion I can offer is to try this IDT HD audio driver after upgrading.

    This package contains the driver that allows to the Audio IDTHigh-definition (HD) in models of laptops that arerunning an operating system supported.

    File name: sp63555.exe

    He worked for laptops for some people, 6xxx/7xxx-dv6 and dv7-6xxx/7xxx.

    If yours is older than the document (dv6-2xxx/3xxx/4xxx/5xxx), I don't know if this driver has a chance of working.

  • Pavillion dv6: how to get rid of the sound on hp Pavilion dv6 bar 2010

    I have hp pavillion dv6 with a bar of his touch above the keyboard of 2010. When I turn to the top or down the volume a soundbar appears on the middle of the screen. It's a little bit boring when I'm in a game, because it closes the game when I have it in full screen. How can I get rid of the sound bar

    Hello

    For your model, the sound bar osd is provided by HP MediaSmart SmartMenu.

    You can just uninstall it since entering programs and features or simply to prevent it from running at startup - you can make the later steps.

    Hold down the Windows key and press R. For the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER. In the next window, click on the Startup tab, uncheck the box next to HP MediaSmart SmartMenu and then click apply and then click OK to make the change. Restart the notebookfor this change to take effect.

  • Pavillion DV6 1330 CE: Pavilion DV6 1330 ec CPU upgrade

    Hello.

    I want to upgrade the CPU in my EC of Pavillion DV6 1330. Is it possible to change my Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 with Intel Core 2 Duo T9900, Intel Core 2 Extreme X 9100 or perhaps Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 (quad core)? What I need to change the cooling system or the stock is enough?

    My current setup:

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2, 53GHz

    RAM: 2x2gb DDR3

    GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4650 1 GB

    HARD drive: Samsung EVO 850 SSD

    10 64-bit Windows

    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9900 3.06 GHz with 6 MB of cache L2 and FSB 1066 MHz (FSB)

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9800 2.93 GHz with 6 MB of cache L2 and FSB 1066 MHz (FSB)

    Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz with 6 MB of cache L2 and FSB 1066 MHz

    Those are your upgrade and options of the foregoing would be a major improvement. The T9800 and T9900 in particular are extremely strong. Equal to 2d plus gen processors Core i5 in my opinion. The market knows that, however, and these processors tend to be difficult to find and expensive. The T9600 is only slightly less powerful and more widely available and cheaper. The "X" model processors are a no-go.

  • Pavillion dv6: I can't find hp simplepass for my pc. Help, please.

    Hello. I use a hp pavillion dv6 p / n: lw218us #aba the problem is that I had to reset for some reasons. during the process of resetting my simplepass got deleted. No, I can't. Please help me. I'm already suicidal...

    and btw, is there a way that I can return the version that came with it when I bought it in 2013?

    @Xain_Basit

    Depending on the exact model of your laptop, you should be able to use this driver of validity:

    sp58900 validity sensor V4.4.234.0 W8 - W8.1

    It is impossible to know which version of SimplePass you use - depending on what you were using before, one of them will work for you:

    Series 6 (AuthenTec)

    sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8

    Series 8 (Softex)

    sp71729 HP SimplePass V8.01.46A 32/64 bit W7 - W10

    Understand that the 8-series is NOT a newer version of the series 6 - here are two completely separate programs and they are not compatible.  Choose one or the other.  If you choose wrong (according to you), you can remove the 'bad' program > reboot > install the other series.

    You must not have installed other HP drivers for Windows 10 - you want to have your drivers HP installed, and THEN you try to process logon Windows native 10 fingerprints, THEN you try to treat SimplePass.

    GENERAL instructions:

    • Create a Restore Point
    • Update your drivers HP for Windows 10 versions of the HP drivers
    • Ensure the Windows Update are up-to-date (unless you have 'deferred' updates to update, updates are automatic)
    • Configure Windows 10 fingerprints fingerprint logon (including the PIN)
    • Restart and sign
    • Install the driver of validity
    • Restart and sign
    • Install your choice of SimplePass
    • Restart and sign

  • HP Recovery Partition Windows 7

    I have Hp Dv6 2177ca. It is installed with Windows 7, and recently he has been infected with a nonremoveable virus so I had to format the entire hard drive, including the recovery partition drive.

    Term, I typed 'recovery manager' and open the Recovery Manager.

    There is option 'System recovery' where he asked me if I wanted to create a "recovery Partition" and asked that I have inserted "Recovery Disk #1".» When I proceed on this issue, restart the computer and windows is loaded but no recovery partition is created.

    Please help me create a recovery partition.

  • Pavilion dv6 i3 with Window 7 64-bit. To start the HP logo appears, then I get a black screen

    I have a Pavilion dv6 i3 with Window 7 64-bit. To start the HP logo appears, then I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I ran all the tests start and everything this past. I tried all F8, F9, F10, F11, recovery options with no luck. I tried to start with the ERD Window 7 64 bit I created when I install the laptop. Nothing... I did it with all the disconnected device. No luck. I'm looking for all the options until I re - install windows. I started with the Windows 7 recovery DVD and it reads, but I cancelled the process because it will reformat the hard drive and I expect to work around all the hassels of having settings to reinstall the software, etc.. Any ideas would be welcome.

    Thanks for the reply. I already tried these steps. I created a bootable floppy that I can get the data on the hard drive and am trying to restore windows to the recpvery of the DVD system that I ordered with the computer. Thank you

  • Pavillion DV6 Wireless does not

    The wireless on my HP Pavillion DV6-6135DX no longer works, but apparently only for certain networks (perhaps only networks encrypted, I'm not completely sure of any common point).

    I recently installed a bunch of updates of Windows 7 that I thought could have been part of the problem. I went back to before the updates, wireless still did not work on some networks, then reinstalled and wireless updates did not work again.

    I lived all the troubleshooting of Windows but did not help.

    What could be the problem / what I should try next?

    Thank you.

    EDIT: I also tried to reinstall the latest version of the driver for the network card. This did not help either.

    It seems that I need to first uninstall the network card driver rather than just installing the latest driver.

    I first went to the Device Manager and uninstalled the Realtek driver under network devices and then restarted my computer, allowing Windows to reinstall the driver. Now my wireless seems to work on all networks again.

  • Model number:-n010TX: recovery of windows media 8

    Mr President.

    I had my HP laptop pavilion in November 2013. It came with 8 pre-installed windows. I upgraded Windows 8.1 by March, 2014 and it worked fine for a few weeks, after which, the laptop has detected a hardware failure. I had a HP technician install a pirated windows 8 on my pc and it also gave me a series of DVDs of recovery for windows 8 to be used on a HP or compaq PC.

    It is a set of 3 DVDs 'system recovery' and 1 DVD "valorization of the pilot. The problem starts when I insert the first DVD of system recovery. He didn't autolay not. I checked with control panel and made sure that the "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices" option is checked. But autopsies shows two options: -.

    1 open the folder to view the files, and

    2. don't do anything.

    Now, on the DVD it says: "insert the disk and follow the instructions on the screen. But there is no on-screen instructions.

    I opened the folder and it contains a lot of files with names that I don't understand. Please let me know how I can get the DVD to play automatically.
