• XP on T400 delivered Windows 7 Professional Downgrade rights - Possible to Dual Boot?

  I just got the laptop and started Windows XP, all configured and such. Then, I created recovery discs using the utility of Lenovo. If I boot from these discs, they give you the option to install Windows 7 in a separate partition and dual boot?

  If no option is given to dual boot, then drives will allow the installation of Windows 7, pure install on the XP partition?

  In addition, I apologize in advance if I missed a thread that responds directly to this issue. Please direct me to it.

  Thank you!

  No, the recovery disks will restore Windows XP on the system. Lenovo does not support the DualBoot configs.

  A clean installation deducted a format of the hard drive.

  I wrote a clean install of Windows 7 doc which should be published in the next day or so.

• Windows 7 Professional to XP Home downgrade rights?

  Our product works well with Windows XP Home edition. I want to use Windows 7 Professional with the right to downgrade to Windows XP, but I've heard that these Windows 7 Professional has the right to downgrade to Windows XP pro only. Why is this? Why I can't downgrade Windows 7 Professional to Windows XP Home Edition?

  To Windows XP Professional downgrade rights apply only to the preinstalled OEM versions of Windows 7 Professional installed on a new computer.  There is no option to downgrade to Windows XP Home Premium edition.

• License OEM Windows 7 Professional 32-bit come with downgrade rights to XP Professional?

  If I buy a copy of (System Integrator) OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit, does include downgrade rights to Windows XP Pro?

  I build essentially the individual PCs for personal use and small businesses; However, I have a client who seeks PCs 35 at point of sale that will have access to a central server.  Although I recommended the use of XP mode in Windows 7, my customer has been informed by its supplier of software that XP Pro is the best option for the current version of the software.

  Although I could purchase copies of XP Pro OEM, my concern is that - during the life cycle of these PCs - my client will have to migrate to Windows 7, as new versions of its software point of sale are available.  If possible, I would like the opportunity to buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, installation of XP Pro with downgrade rights and later have the ability to change to Windows 7 without having to purchase new licenses.  Is it an option if I buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses?

  Also, I need 35 licenses for a single customer, volume licenses would be more cost-effective?  My current Windows 7 Pro OEM or Windows XP Pro OEM price is about $ 150 per license.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Yes, a version of Windows 7 Professional OEM rights to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.  Volume license is not a scheme of licensing "for resale.

  Have you changed the Boot order at the start of the Windows 2000 disk to then install it?

  Which will remove all your data but also XP installation.

• How to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional of a DVD on the ProBook s 4530?

  So I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed on my laptop and I want to get rid of it completely and to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit from a DVD.
  I don't want to use windows anytime upgrade somehow! Because I have a few serious bugs with my current installation and a clean install, I can be sure to get rid of them

  I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how exactly to do this and if all my data will be deleted. If so, will it download all drivers HP and the software again by myself? :/

  Bugs are not serious but they affect several programs and it is impossible to use my laptop, I was doing.
  And no, I have no recovery option, I don't have any dvd with my laptop, or something like that and personally I didn't do all the backups. Which was a mistake that I won't repeat.
  In addition, because of my college, I get a free copy of win 7 professional so why not use it?
  I have already burned on a DVD, now I just need to detail how a facility own n_n
  So after I installed win 7 Professional I just copy and replace Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE instead of download the drivers?
  BTW, I'll accept your next answer as the snap

  You will use the copied Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE for is the source of the drivers when you then. Do not replace the folder in the new installation of Windows with the folder that you copied from the initial installation of Windows. It would not be a good idea.

  Once you have done the copy of the file and have it practice you can simply put the installation DVD into the DVD drive and boot from it. There will be a point where asks you if you want to save your previous installation. Say no to it.

  At this stage you can always do a defined recovery disk. I recommend that you do this. This is the copy of the operating system and drivers you purcased your PC with. If you do not want is not a problem like UO can always buy it at HP over the next years.

• Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 repair downgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit without uninstalling SP1

  Hello

  I have a huge problem with the update of Windows-7. Installing and uninstalling any update of Windows-7-related (including SP1) fails. She always ends up in a loop configuration and restart + roll back. The error code in the Windows journal file is 0x80070BC9 for all updates. In addition, even when not install or uninstall anything, the system will enter into this every second reboot loop however and trying to set up the most recent update (failure).

  I tried different ways to solve these problems, but all do not work, including the Fix It, KB947821 tools, and the procedure described here:

  https://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/Windows/en-us/b2727a81-BADC-4AD3-a9e2-336dc1bcaab1/Windows-Update-error-0x80070bc9-with-Windows-7

  The solution described in the above link does not work because I can't delete the files in the System32\confix\TxR folder that I am supposed to do, even using unlocking of third-party tools (Unlocker 1.9.1), which is actually very weired.

  So my last hope is to do a repair of upgrade (see the title). Unfortunately, Microsoft only allows me to do until SP1 is installed. Given that the uninstallation of SP1 will not work, I wonder if there is a way by fooling Windows suggests that SP1 is not installed by editing the registry. Can someone tell me if and how this is possible? I tried to change the registry in the files Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion and Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion and Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion and Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion to Windows 7 family Basique/Premium SP1 (which probably should allow to upgrade me to Windows 7 Professional), but still the Windows recognize that my system is Windows 7 Professional.

  Well, I really hope you can help me.

  Best regards

  Your best bet is to clean just install and start over.

• Download and install Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

  I ve bought a 4730 HP's Probook s with a Windows 7 Professional 64 pieces preinstalled.

  I want to downgrade to a Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. How can I do?

  Hello

  This is an option that you can use.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  First, click on the Start Menu, open computer and double-click Local C drive - you should see a folder called swsetup.  This will contain all the driver installers and almost every program to install the software for your laptop - support this until an external support/device.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the OS exactly the same as originally supplied with your laptop, but the 32-bit version ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
