Thank you

Hello @RianaL

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Forums Guide first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

I came across your post about the issue of upgrade and he wanted to help!

It is possible to install Windows 7 on the laptop.  To do this, you need a Windows 7 disc.  However, it is not advisable for this laptop, as there are no Windows 7 drivers available for this product on the HP site.  So if you choose to install Windows 7, you can have a driver or compatibility problems.

Based on the following guide, here are the notebook upgrade options:

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    ===========================================

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
    programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
    first.

  • Help get rid of the changes and unwanted software.

    Recently, someone in my house accessible a website called clipconverter.cc and recorded a few videos on our computer. I logged today to find a number of CRAZY to say "INSTALL ME" all over my desk, my changed Redirect 'Safe Finder' safari and 3 or 4 new applications which I didn't flash files.

    I began to remove them and fixing of safari, but I only have limited knowledge and I need assistance in ensuring that everything is banned from my computer. Applications and changes I found were:

    MegaBackup

    Advanced Mac cleanser

    A hidden application called "Mac file opener.

    Search Genius (extension of the internet)

    Safe Finder (I assume part of the genius of the research)

    and some changes, one for advanced cleaner Mac and the other I don't know.

    I left all the processes I could think, deleted apps, went into the library and got rid of the App help files related to them, took records of newspapers that have been linked with them. Remove the extension from the internet, erased settings and history and my connection activities value only those I knew, and I wanted to. I could use some help understanding, if there is everything I need to look at and to get rid of. any help would be appreciated.

    I have a report of EtreCheck, I'll have a bit of trouble understanding... in particular the sections "failures" or "not responsible"... my suspicion is it's the bits of third still floating out there. But I'm not sure. I also noticed a certain process I'm familiar with, but that doesn't say much (I'm not familiar with many of them).

    Hello

    Follow these steps and check if that helps.

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to reset the updated Windows components and check if that helps.

    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • How do I get rid of the search, I installed this program accidentally as he pretended to be an update of firefox?

    Search took over my home page and the search page.
    I understand that it is a malicious virus that is designed to send a lot of adds invade the PC and check out personal details.

    I accidentally installed this while working on wordpress.
    I have received several warnings that I need this update.
    When I clicked on the page, I received a certificate of Norton who verified that it was safe.

    I uninstalled in the list of programs to uninstall programs.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then this message is probably a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.

    • Don't update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.
    • Plugins should be updated only through the plugin itself, or by visiting the home page of the plugin.

    You can also do a check of malware with several digitization programs of malicious software on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.
