It is recommended for the upgrade a computer to Windows 8 with a preinstalled Windows OEM copy.

The following document gives the best practice to accomplish this task with greater success.

Follow the steps to ensure you have a better experience with Windows 8.

    My Pavilion dv6 upgraded to windows 10 what happened to my external screen does not

    Hi @Jake08,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and questions with external screen works not properly. You can try this without the connected external monitor.

    In Device Manager, click the arrow next to display adapters to expand this category
    Right-click on the graph, and then select Update driver software if more than 1 graphic adapter do 1 at a time.
    Select search automatically for updated driver software.

    The laptop must find and automatically install the updated driver
    Once the installation is complete, restart your laptop.

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  • Windows Vista - what should I do after system restored?

    My home edition vista recently will not start. After I turned it on, it loads for a while and stops automatically. I tried pressing some buttons for example F2, F8, F10 function for repair and recovery, and it is able to load the previously saved startup page. After that I turned it off, it cannot start again. I tried twice on the recovery of reparation and restored successfully, but now the repair and recovery seems no longer works.

    (1) what should I do if I managed to open the start page?

    (2) what could be the cause of it? In any case to restore so that it will work like new?

    If it doesn't, try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

    Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

    Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

    If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

    If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

    Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

    Reinstall options.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    ___________________________________

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

    ___________________________________

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • HP Pavilion M6 - 1068ca: upgrade to windows 10 - what happened to my package of free RESUME software

    After the upgrade of the Windsows 7-10 of Windows, I lost all the HP and utility programs and free software provided with my laptop such as Cyberlink, Adobe Photoshop, etc, how do I recover them?

    @grolou,

    My "simplistic" solution was not so much a solution, but to verify that you had done the upgrade properly. The software you describe has been a part of your installed operating system of origin image. The process of upgrading Windows 10 according to the description will retain most of the applications, unless they are incompatible or would impede the actual upgrade process. Applications that do not give or have been removed from the process, or will no longer function will need to be reinstalled, probably with a compatible version, if it is available.

  • Hello, I have Lightroom and Photoshop CC on a mac and a PC laptop. I bought another mac now and no longer want to use the laptop PC (windows). What should I do to load them on the new mac? First remove the applications from the laptop?

    I have Lightroom and Photoshop CC on an imac and windows laptop PC. I've now bought another mac and want to use the laptop to windows. I need to remove the applications from the laptop first, then download new mac?

    Hello

    Lol you should not remove it. You can turn it off with the signing of the application Adobe CC.

    Reference: connect and disconnect activate Cloud Creative applications

    And then you can install it on your other machine.

    Kind regards

  • I bought 13 elements, but I need the MAC version, not windows. What should do?

    Hi, I just bought Photoshop elements 13, but I got the version of windows, instead of the MAC version. I need the MAC version. What can I do to reverse the acquisition and order the right version?

    I did the same thing, but have been unable to find a way to get them exchanged.  Almost all links on the site that may be useful gives me a screen "header 403 is too great" or something of that nature.  I managed to send them a message via the site, but they sent me by saying that they cannot ship to a P.O. box.  I bought the electronic download version, I have no need of whatever it is shipped.  The portal that the email sends me to see my case file, and if all goes well to answer gives me 403 header is too big screen.  I have never been so frustrated in my life from a company.  I want to be able to use the product without having to pay for it.

    When I click to open the file .exe creative cloud, the window that I'm (folders, browser, etc.) will Flash several times, but the application does not open.  Looks like there is a crash, but no information as to why, or what I can do differently!

  • We can not get firefox installed on our new laptop with windows 8, what should we do?

    I have a 8.1 of Windows on a new computer platform. When we try to download firefox button returns to push in execution. After that, Norton scan and says that it is safe, but a new program with very few people to use. I click on the spot by saying that it is safe and it goes, but the program does not work. I also tried to download and then run. It will download but when I try to run Norton rises and happens the same thing as above.
    I also tried to disable Norton for an hour and tried 2 same things as above with the same results.

    In the case where Norton opposes the "stub" Installer (the download has the word "stub" in the name) try using the full installer. You can download from the following page, just scroll your preferred language:
