HP Pro: recovery of Windows 10 for Windows 7

I bought my computer with Windows 7 and the computer came with a recovery partition.  When I upgraded to Windows 10 I guess the recovery partition would bring back me to 7.  Now I read here that it won't.

I passed the time when Windows 10 will allow me to return to my previous OS and I need (NEED!) to install a program that will not install in Windows 10 but that will install in Windows 7.  (I had Photoshop 7 installed when I upgraded and it worked in 10 but when I tried to upgrade to CS6 it would not install.)  When I turned to a professional technician, he wanted to uninstall 7.  It was always impossible to install CS6 and can't reinstall 7.  I need Photoshop).

Is there a way that I can return to Windows 7?

Hello:

If you live in the USA/Canada and have a HP business desktop PC, please call to order a recovery disc for your PC.

Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

A set is about $10 mailed.

  • The new use of recovery of Windows XP with my q Satellite Pro P300-19?

    I just bought a Satellite Pro P300-19 q with Vista pre-installed. I want to use Windows XP Professional instead and understand that I must use the DVD titled "Product development - Microsoft Windows XP Professional" supplied with the machine. To do this, however, the provided information sheet is not very useful when he says only: «you will have to load this...» »

    My question is: How do I do it from running the disc in the DVD player, just reveals several files which none will get me nowhere?

    Any help would be welcome.

    The recovery of Windows XP product disc contains an image of a Windows XP installation ready with all the drivers and tools.

    Before installing Windows XP, you should burn the Vista recovery disk because if you want to restore Windows Vista you will need this disc. So, you can restore the computer back to wherever it was when you originally received.
    So far as the recovery image (Vista) is only stored on the HARD drive and so you can burn it to a DVD:
    Click on the Toshiba recovery disc creator and insert a blank DVD. Then follow the instructions on the screen. The recovery disk will be created.
    You are now able to boot from this DVD and install Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings).

    When you reinstall Windows with a recovery disk, the HARD disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost. This means that as other partitions so backup your data first.

    If you are using Vista it s also able to restore the factory since the HARD drive settings. Therefore, the files are stored in the folder HDDRecovery.
    So, if you want to put your mobile PC, press F8. Then you can see the menu and there advanced boot options, select repair your computer.
    Follow the instructions on the screen and the laptop will also reinstall.
    But don't forget, this (HARD disk recovery) feature is only available with Vista, not XP.

    So if you understand this and burned the Vista recovery disk, you can start to install Windows XP.
    Boot from the XP Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The installation of Windows XP does not have a lot of time and this procedure is similar to Vista. After installation you also have an installation with all drivers and Toshiba tools but with Windows XP of course.
    This is the content of the Windows XP Recovery disk.

  • Wanted M6 Sleekbook: Can I get my free 10 Windows upgrade after a recovery of the system for Windows 7?

    Hi guys,.

    I have a HP Envy M6 Sleekbook. It came with Windows 7, and its warranty expired 2 years ago. I took the offer to get a free upgrade of Windows 10 a few months ago. Now, I want to exchange the hard drive out. I have a ready to run on a USB system recovery but its for the original configuration of Windows 7...

    My question:

    Is there a way I can share disks and get 10 back Windows without paying? HPO only allows you to create a system USB once recovery disk, so I can't make a new record of recovery with windows 10. When I get the factory Windows 7 running on the new hard drive, I'll be able to upgrade to Windows 10 new since I already had it and I wanted to just swap drives?  Thank you!!

    This link should help you get started: upgrade Windows 10  

    You can install Windows 7 with your recovery discs and then upgrade to Windows 10 or you can create a Windows [USB/DVD/ISO] 10 installation media and use it to make a 'clean' on the new hard drive installation.

    Notes on activation:

     

    • If you have never installed and activated Windows 10 on this computer before, you will see the activation screen. Enter your key of Windows 10 here. If you do not, but you have a valid 7, 8 or 8.1 key, enter it here instead.
    • If you have already installed and activated Windows 10 on this computer before, click on "I don't have a product key. Windows will activate automatically after installation.

  • Can I use my Windows 7 Edition recovery disks Home Premium for a clean install on my old Windows XP computer?

    Hello world!  I hope someone can help.

    Can I use my Windows 7 Edition recovery disks Home Premium for a clean install on my old Windows XP computer?

    If this is a recovery from a different computer disk, you are unable to do so.

    In addition, if you were to format the computer, you will need to have a way to reinstall a copy of Windows with a genuine license.

    The best option if you need Windows 7 Home Premium is to buy a genuine license then you can make a custom (new installation).

    Where can I still get Windows 7?

    Hi hope someone can help? I have acrobat pro, 6 have worked well for the past two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still won't open, ronning windows 7. Help please!  Janice

    Hey janicem42177174,

    Adobe does most support the installation and use of Acrobat 6 because it is a very old version that is not compatible with Windows 7.

    I suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat 11.0.10 is perfectly compatible with your operating system with its functions and improved functions.

    You can download a free trial version of 30 days of Acrobat from here:

    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Professional XI

    Let me know how it goes

    About two weeks ago, I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Windows student & Teacher Edition 1 user of the digital production team Dell software partner. I still have to download the software because I have questions and they cannot (or refuses) to answer.

    In my initial email to Dell software partner digital production team. I asked the two questions and gave them some background.

    My background: I have two computers running. My old laptop using Microsoft Vista while my new HP desktop running Windows 10. Here are the details: link to the FAQ in the Center Dell download the following question appears under the Questions common header: "can I use the Dell Download Manager to create a backup CD/DVD?

    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.

    Thank you
