  Installed Windows 7 Pro on my desktop HP - 110 - a04.   Windows 7 drivers help?

  Hello

  I couldn't take it any longer using Windows 8.   I installed 7 Pro 64 on this machine, only to find HP doesn't provide drivers for 7 for this particular model.

  The useful link below got my work to adapt (LAN) network.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-operating-systems-software-recovery/HP-110-017C-downgrade-to-Wi...

  Currently, I am missing the drivers below.

  Network controller (possibly the wifi adapter)

  SM Bus controller

  (USB) Universal Serial Bus controllers

  Any help on this problem is highly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  Please see if these drivers work:

  SMBus:

  USB3:

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-driver-Intel-USB-3-0-Extensible-host-controller-driver-for-Intel-8-9-series-and-C220-C610-chipset-family

  I need to make a simple set of clicks in order for me identify the model of wireless card which needs the driver.

  Since there is no driver installed wireless, need a labeled device network controller in Device Manager under the other devices category.  The network controller device will be somewhat ! brand next to him.

  Thus, to find the network controller device, click on that and then click on the Details tab.

  Now, you see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

  On this list and select the second element (Hardware ID).

  After the first string of characters you see in the window.

• Microsoft Windows 8 PRO Downgrade to Windows 7 PRO

  Greetings,

  This post is more than a complaint about Microsoft INABILITY to support its biggest business customers, in the hope that someone at Microsoft will really help me, instead of giving me the evasive that was given to me for the last 3 days...

  I bought 100 Dell Vostro MT270 i3 Machines. All came with pre-installed Windows 8 PRO...

  We have problems with Internet Explorer 9 and above with our Cloud National environment in which Microsoft Axapta 2012 runs.

  Over the 3 days I tried to get in on the good service in Microsoft ranks to eventually get the product key of Windows 7 PRO for these OEM installed machines. I even offered to provide supporting documents (invoices and delivery as proof of my purchase slips)

  Every department I got through where was forwarded to, listened to my story and informed me that I needed to talk to another Department.

  Finally, this afternoon I decided to call Microsoft States in the hope of some kind of miracle... Instead, I lost 40 minutes of international calls from South Africa to be told that I had to talk to the Department of volume licensing for OEM pre-installed Machines?

  Finally, after that be go asked me for our partner number or software assurance.

  Unfortunately for me, our group Enterprise Architect was not available to give me this info. Furthermore, I was not ready to waste any more time or money on call international USA.

  I read on the Net that to downgrade from Windows 8 PRO to Windows 7 PRO I need my own media (check), and a Windows 7 product key to complete install (check).

  The problem here is I can't use a product key Windows 7 PRO currently in use on a work machine, and I have certainly not 100 old Windows 7 PRO Machines...

  All I need is that Microsoft provide me 100 license keys for this downgrade or a unique product key I can activate 100 times.

  It's really not that complicated a situation, however everyone I talked to has made it seem like they must move heaven and Earth to assist me.

  This isn't how you support your customers Microsoft!

  If there is someone who can help me with my problem please reply...

  The best person to contact about this would be great reseller account which installer of your Microsoft volume license agreement.

• Pavilion model 11-n001sa: installing Windows HP pro on the HP Pavilion model No. 11 - n001sa

  I replaced the original hard disk, it was windows 10 installed.

  This small laptop is idea for my Renault Clip software, so we need to install Windows XP pro.

  I tried different setting in the bios, XP is listed, theres so no reason for it not install it!

  Using windows XP pro sp 2 & 3 installation disc, but keep the blue screen dreaded towards the end of the installation.

  Come on HP, I need your advice please.

  Hello:

  There is a very good reason that XP does not install.

  Intel did not provide any sata ahci drivers for the chipset that has your laptop.

  That's why you got the BSOD.  XP cannot find the hard drive.

  The latest processors from Intel-based notebook chipsets which had support for XP have laptops with the 7 Series chipsets.

  Not to mention the fact that you wouldn't find any graphic or wireless drivers for XP even if you can get it (that you can't) install.

• Installation of drive Media Express before you install Windows XP - Pro?

  Hi all

  I want to install Windows XP Professional on my Satellite A100-153.
  I have already done all the backups, created a tool and driver CD and I'm ready to start... BUT:
  What the Express Media Player? I have a recovery for the Express Media Player CD. What do I need to run the Express Media Player Recovery before you install Windows XP Pro?
  I'm not reinstall my Windows XP HOME Edition. As I am used to work with the XP pro edition I have a Windows XP pro. So no recovery.

  Can someone help me?
  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Installation of the drive, I found a FAQ document very useful on the Express media:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB58014O0008R01.htm

  In addition, on the HARD drive should at least 150-200 MB of free space available.
  This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
  To get this free space of HDD the 3 products part must be used namely Partitions magic 8

  good luck buddy

• Cannot install Windows 10 Pro bootcamp support software

  I have recently installed Windows 10 Pro on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015, retina), OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21). After Windows restarted, bootcamp has started to install drivers from support and hung on the Realtek driver. Let him all night but he still has not made progress, so I closed the installation program. Now I can't find how to restart, or to download the drivers and install them manually. I had to hold the option key when you restart back into OS X. According to the oldest documents, I tried rerunning the bootcamp assistant to download USB drivers, but this version gives me the option to restore my drive to its original state. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Thank you.

  I couldn't find a place to download the drivers for bootcamp support and discovered in training camp 6, the drivers are downloaded on a separate partition on the SSD (instead of USB drive). So I wiped the installation of windows and repartee with the intention to copy the downloaded software (which I did). Yet once bootcamp hooked when installing the Realtek driver and did some googling. I found this post that solved my problem. https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6567790?TSTART=0

• 17 - e049wm will not install Windows 8 Pro

  So I got this machine of killer, upgraded to a new SSD and tried to install windows 8 PRO. Windows loaded fine, but it only installed Windows 8 regularly.

  Now here's the base line. Ive tried to install 5 different times, all with the same result.

  1: install boot disk

  2nd: post installation upgrade

  3rd: enabled Legacy support in the BIOS and I tried the new facility

  4th:upgrade post install with active legacy

  5th: disabled Legacy and set up fees.

  Another weird, that I should mention is the fact that he never ask me in setting up my license key. As soon as I check my activation it says that windows is activated, the product ID that ends in AAOEM.

  If this machine, wise, the bios is processing my drive of retail as an OEM disc and pre activating Windows 8 PRO, yet do not allow me to install the professional edition. I tried 2 Windows 8 PRO 64 bit retail of different disks without success.

  Even so much as ive tried the link "Get more features with a new edition of windows" and provided BOTH of my keys not activated without success, since it is reg 8 Win which installs

  IM advanced technology so feel free to talk tech to me. If it is not able to do I wouild like HP to provide me with the Windows 8 PRO for my model, just the OS disk without indigestion.

  Hello

  My suggestion: use Windows 8 Pro upgrade DVD otherwise you must call HP to erase the firmware as shown in the following link:

• Windows Update crashed my newly installed Windows 7 Pro on Lenovo T60p.

  The machine is a Lenovo T60p with the latest version of the BIOS. Recently I installed Windows 7 Pro. Works well until I have install all updates from Windows Update. System suddenly stops. When it turns on. It blue screens. When I try to turn it on again, he would recommend a repair, then it blue screens. I boot from the original installation CD, blue computer screens. W?

  I replaced XP with Windows 7 Pro.

  I got it somehow to run again by turning off the number of items (e.g., Bluetooth, card NETWORK, etc) in the BIOS Setup. After I completed the update of Windows, I'll re - activate the items one by one.

  I appreciate the prompt response.

• After installing windows XP Pro my computer does not start correctly

  After you have installed Windows XP Pro on my HP Pavilion (updated to XP home), my computer will not end the restart process.  I have repeatedly in a loop once the blue screen with the HP logo.  When this has happened before after installing a pack of updates for XP Home, we just started in safe mode and then had it will restart at an earlier time, thus eliminating the updates.  However, now when I try to start in safe mode, I get an error message that says: "Windows Setup cannot start in safe mode" and I leave safe mode.  We hoped that by installing Windows XP Pro, this problem should go away.  Can anyone help?  I have read several other entries in the forum for similar problems, but they all have to do with updates.  This is the first time I was not able to use safe mode, so now I'm stuck.  I hope that I can avoid having to perform a full system recovery, since it is a long involved process and having once before, I always felt the same restart problems after installing updates.

  PA bear,

  Thank you for help... After reading several posts in the forum, one of them reminded people to check with the manufacturer of the computer so that possible solutions... and this is the solution here, I wish I thought of him earlier... I did a system recovery to remove the Windows HP Pro and return to the original version of the default value.  Then I went to the HP site and downloaded the patch according to their directions.  Problems fixed! :-)

  Any PERSON HAVING HARD REBOOT YOUR HP PAVILION (with an AMD processor) after you install Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 updates:

  HP has a patch that solved all my problems.  Clearly, service packs contain information for Intel processors that is in conflict with AMD processors in many HP Pavilion desktop computers.  You can go to their customer service solutions website and download the patch.  Since I did it, I had no other problems. I wish just that I had discovered the solution until I had to do a full system recovery.

  If your computer hangs on reboot 'loop', see if this info. HP will help you:

  The computer restarts after a Stop error message display 0x0000007E (after update with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP)

  If you have had problems with XP updates, including service pack 2 or 3, try this page:

  Before you install Windows XP service pack 3

  When I try to install windows 7 pro 64 bit on my HP 2000 - 2d70dx is says something about an invalid? source.  If I try windows 7 pro 32 bit told me that I must install an operating system - never to read the installation CD.  CD 32-bit & 64-bit are the Microsoft installation CD

  I tried several auto start of the CD and the system always says that I must install an operating system and will not be able to boot from the CD (although boot from CD is enabled in BIOS).

• Re-install windows xp - pro

  My computer was giving me a blue screen with white despicting letters a problem with windows.  I re - install windows xp pro and now when I start my computer, I get two lines "Windows XP pro" to choose.  If windows is installed on 2 discs?  D drive and drive C?

  You probably reinstalled incorrectly. You do it from Windows? It's the wrong way to do it.

  To do this properly, do not start Windows, but boot from the XP CD and follow the prompts for a clean reinstall. It will begin by formatting the drive, it is not possible to have two facilities here.

  And of course, save on external data that you want to keep before you do.
