Install windows 7 on a new laptop comes with windows 8 and keep 8
So I just bought a HP Pavilion g7 that's installed with windows 8. I want to install windows 7 and keep 8 so I don't lose the ability to use 8. short of wiping the HARD drive, how can I install windows 7 next to windows 8 and dual boot?
Hi mikerob1976,
I found this post on the forums of Windows which gives details on how to do it. http://goo.GL/zYJTc

New laptop comes with Windows 10, want to install Windows 7 in place but freezes everything in
Just got an Acer Aspire ES 15, which came with Windows already installed 10.
I do not like the windows 10, would be nice instead of Windows 7.
I tried to boot from my CD with Windows 7, but once I did the "loading files" bar and I'm on the 'starting Windows' screen, four circles colors that generally revolve around all loading, just freeze and the installation does not go further?
Any help would be appreciated. I tried to boot from a USB, but when I hit F12 I not give me the option to boot from it!
Thanks guys, but I think I have actually solved!
For someone who has similar problems, do pass the boot sequence in the BIOS of UEF1 inheritance. Freeze DVD ROM? When you come to format, we'll tell you that Windows is unable to format one of your readers because they are GPT partition style.
To convert the GPT on the MBR, simply delete all partitions and create a new one. My Windows 7 is currently 17% in installation.
For a long time I didn't do anything this techy on a computer, impressed!

Your brand new laptop comes with a "certified HDD repair?
The hard drive of my laptop HP G72-B63NR just crashed. I bought new in January 2011, but has not bought any expansion of the warranty, so I'm totally ready to get a new hard drive and restore the system myself. However, to my surprise, when I remove the hard drive, I discovered that it is a "certified repair HDD" Seagate!
I googled and found a post of someone saying that their HP computers at work are like that too. Does anyone else have the same experience?
I bought the laptop brand new, so I don't know that the hard disk provided with the laptop because I have not changed my hard drive. As I said, I'm ready to get a new drive myself, but it really leaves a sour taste.
Thank you very much for the information. According to our database, your system's hard drive is replaced in July 2011 in an HP service center.

I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new laptop, but it doesn't recognize my RAW files. In addition, repeated attempts to make available updates failed. The laptop has 8.1 Windows 64-bit.
You can manually download and install updates:
Adobe - Photoshop: For Windows: Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 updated for Adobe Photoshop CS5
Adobe - Photoshop: for Windows: Camera Raw 6.7 update
There is something to do with the help of CS5 > update function, but as far as I know it does work as expected more.

Installation code doenst work, code that is written in my acount adobe will not activate my product. Is een reinstal on a new laptop computer with windows 10. the same code that is delivered on paper when I bought adobe
Creative cloud does not use a serial number and creative cloud subscribers for not having any serial number associated with their programs. Creative cloud subscribers use their adobe ID to activate their programs.
Download and install the desktop creative cloud application (after signing with your adobe - the same as that used to pay for your creative cloud subscription ID), https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Open the office application (a shortcut will be on your desktop) > click applications, and then select the programs you want to install.
the desktop application gives you access to the cs6, cc, cc 2014 and cc 2015 apps. and probably more in the future.
If you already have the cc desktop application and you need to update your adobe id, log out and then back to your client application using the adobe id to pay for your subscription in cc: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. How do I creat more than I can duel boot
New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. They are system, OS (C drive), recovery and HP tools > how do I create a new partition so that I can duel boot withour causing the entire disk pass the dynamic that would get me no where?
If you change something, it may invalidate your warranty. If you need to return your laptop to HP, they will just wipe the drive and start over, no questions asked.
You must remove the HP tools or the recovery partition. I think that removing the partition on an HP tools automatically goes to sleep you out of the recovery partition.
If you delete the recovery partition, you must make sure that you have done the set HP recovery disk and it is on quality discs and safely set aside.
If you are planning on dual booting with different versions of Windows, make sure that Windows utility block each other. For example, don't let Windows defrag loose on the other OS partition.

I have the right product and serial numbers, which allowed me to install several other components of the software.

Logon as ADMINISTRATOR for all of them.
You can try Compatibility Mode but this rarely works on the device drivers.
Right click on the driver executable (.exe) file - select Compatibility Mode
In the drop-down menu choose XP or Vista and Service Pack (if it is the version
"you try the drivers).Click OK, and then let the race to see if it will install.

It also rarely works on the device drivers but it is worth trying:
