You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

I propose to you leave as is and put to upgrade to 8.1 Windows put in day 1 which significantly improves the user experience for mouse and keyboard users, more:

  • Can I install my W7 Pro on a W7 prem-oem version that is installed on my HP Pc?

    HelloW!
    Sorry for my bad English {it is not my native language} and I will try to be as clear as possible with my question.

    I bought HP Desktop in 2012 {with 2 hard drives, (c) & (E :) who already had an oem version of Windows 7 premium (x 64) installed.}

    The thing is now that my pc is slow & I want to do a clean install, but I don't want to install the version of Windows HP oem but my Windows 7 Professional (x 64).

    My question: can I install my W7 pro during the latest oem with a formatting HD {or what it's called in English}? I've never done before, so I'm kinda a noob. A site Dutch, there was also a suggestion to format the HD first, then I need to go to my BIOS and change the settings of my BR_rom in master etc. otherwise the installation cd does not work... etc.
    * UM *.

    without the BIOS thing, I was wondering if it is possible to simply * my W7 version on the version W7oem without having any problems.

    Thank you.

    Have you done your recovery disks according to the instructions from HP? If this is not the case, what to do now.

    You won't gain much by installing your version of win7 pro rather than the version provided by HP. If you install your version it will be via install a clean place, you start on the cd of win and early in the process when you have the possibility to the place where you install delete all partitions found on C: then continue installation to utalise all the space of the C: drive. After that you will need to install the drivers of HP support system

    Using this method any partition hidden HP recovery & tools will be destroyed and all on the PC

    (If you have used the HP recovery disk to return to factory settings, the drivers would be installed as part of the process)

  • Can I install my same copy of windows on my new computer build?

    So I just build a new custom computer. I have a new 64 GB drive hard solid state that I wish I had ONLY my operating system. I also have my old hard drive in my new build with all my old files and the operating system on it (I also cloned it on an another HARD drive so that if something was wrong, I have a backup of all my files). But anyway, my question is if there is a way to ONLY my my my old HDD SSD new operating system without wear on all programs (because with all the other programs, its not going to adapt). I realize that there is a small chance that it is possible to do that, so my other option would be to just do a fresh install on my SSD with my windows of my old computer disk. I called Microsoft technical support regarding my problem and they said, is that the only way to a successful installation is to buy a new product key, because otherwise it will not work. They said that the only way to get around the purchase of a new key is to uninstall windows on the old disk and then you will be able to use the key on the new SSD. The only problem with this is I have no way to boot the old disk, as this would require completely rebuild me my old computer which I just can't do (I already tried to start on the old drive in the new computer). Anyway, if you guys know anyway which would solve all my problems, that would be great, because I can't afford to buy a new windows product key.

    Thank you

    Support for Microsoft people are correct. The only option is to not use or attempt to start the drive on the new computer (of course you can use it as a data drive) this will allow you to use at least the license on the SSD.

  • Can I install Windows 8 Pro 64 bits with a 32-bit Windows 8 Pro license key?

    I searched through the forum, it seems that there is no difference between 64-bit and 32-bit licenses. However, as I know suggested for 64-bit and 32-bit retail price are different. I get confused! If they are the same, then eveyone would buy a 32-bit and then install 64-bit... is it true? Your response is truly appreciated.

    Yes, the product key works independently of the architecture (32- or 64-bit), so you can use the same product key used to activate 32-bit Windows 8 Pro with 64-bit Windows 8 Pro.

  • Can I use Windows 7 Upgrade media to upgrade a Vista computer that has not been upgraded to service pack 1? Can I use the option of custom Setup for Windows 7 Upgrade media? I would go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Premium.

    The computer on which I am trying to upgrade is vascular under Vista Premium, but it was never upgraded to Service Pack 1. He has a problem with PIECES that is caused by a defective ntdll.dll module and so the updates do not work. Windows Upgrade Advisor tells me I must update Vista SP1. I really don't want to spend the time to solve the problem of Vista. I would like to just do a clean install using the custom install option on the Win7 upgrade support.

    Wrong forum. This post here instead, questions please: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

    That being said, you can not use an upgrade to Win7 edition to make a clean installation on a computer running Vista without SP1 installed, but you can buy a complete edition of Win7 (detail) and install it after formatting your HARD drive. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

    How can I do?

    There is no option in the bios to support SATA or IDE

    Please help me

    Hey Buddy

    You won't find any IDE or SATA settings in the BIOS. The problem is that you have not installed the SATA driver that is needed to install the XP on this laptop.

    Intel Matrix Storage Manager is the key!
    The storage manager should be included in the Windows XP operating system during the installation process using the F6 key.
    On the other hand, you could include the Storage Manager using the free app called nLite.

  • Installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on original Vista CQ60 and now can't do the system recovery

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ60-320SA, which came with Vista Home Premium 32-bit and do a new install of 7 Pro 64-bit.  Now I want to go back but F11 does not work, and there is no recovery for a reason Manager any. The recovery partition is still there.

    I don't have useful recovery discs because when I tried to make them when I got the laptop, the process has failed for an unknown reason (I asked the TechGuys, who suggested to use a better quality than DVD, but I don't bother).

    What can I do?  Is my only option of order recovery disks?

    The main point of this exercise is to get the original settings before you install Windows XP 32-bit.  Which is the best thing to do, or should I just go directly from 7 to XP?   Will I have problems if I decide to go back to XP?

    Thank you

    No, just be sure that install you XP to the right partition, (a greater) and not to the recovery partition.
