• Downgrade the license key to install Windows XP Pro image

  Hello

  I bought 4 desktops additional whitebox from my provider. He said they can't get licenses of Windows 7 and I have them for us. We have a Windows SBS domain with about 60 workstations XP Pro. The new jobs all have the same Mo as some previous purchases and we 'pictures' for these machines on our network. I often have to change on a workstation with the other due to software or other issues, so for now, I don't want Windows 7 on a machine that I have to train someone on if I have to spend on their machine.

  How I can or I can 'image' machines with XP Pro and use Windows 7 key to activate the operating system?

  I don't want to go through the process of installing Windows 7 on all these machines and I then have to do the downgrade to XP on each. And if I have to 'image' of this box of I need now another "image" of Windows 7?

  And finally, if I'm having to go through these hoops, do I need a XP Pro license key for the downgrade after inserting the XP Pro CD on the Windows 7 machine?

  Thanks for your help.

• just formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded

  I formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded. .

  Probably, you need to boot in the BIOS of the computer and changed on the hard drive in IDE mode, SATA, so it can be recognized by Windows XP.

  Before that you plan to replace Windows 7 with Windows XP. Have you tried to familiarize yourself with the operating system first?

  If you want to run Windows XP, you can consider to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP. You first need to know if your computer is compatible with Windows XP. Much more modern computers are gradually support for Windows XP.

• Cannot install Windows 8 due to ASUS AI Charger Plus - Incompatible with Windows 8

  Hello

  It has been two days now trying to get rid of the virus this is the ASUS AI Charger that prevents my upgrade of Windows 8 to continue.

  I used to own an Asus M/B, until he was struck by lightning and moved to a card mother Gigabyte and use it for months. I purchased Windows 8 and do an upgrade and now hit the following problem:

  ASUS HAVE load more - uninstall this application now because it is not compatible with Windows 8.

  For the life of me I can not uninstall this application completely. I tried literally everything I know and the results are always the same, the application is removed, but installing Windows 8 keeps pick it up.

  That's what I've done so far:
  Standard uninstall via Add/Remove programs
  Symantec PC Performance Toolkit uninstall and clean registry
  Revo Uninstaller
  Manual removal of the keys of all with the words "ASUS" and "AI Charger.
  MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall
  Windows Install Cleanup

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  There are some newspapers that you can watch here:

  C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebSetup\Panther

  In the Panther folder, you could look at newspapers such as the setupact.log and setuperr.log.

  The AppData folder is 'hidden' so make sure that you are set up to see the hidden files and folders.

  I suspect that an older version of ASUS AI Charger is marked as the new version not marked.

  Find any ASUS directory in the Program Files directory and the Program Files (x 86) directory.

  Look for a folder of Asus under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node registry key

• Clean install Windows 7 with UEFI in dv6-7215nr

  Hi, I would like to do a clean install of my HP dv6-7215nr Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x 64 envy laptop.

  To this end, I have 3 questions to solve some installation issues.

  1. What are the steps to clean install Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise intact in UEFI mode?

  I tried to install Win 7 after the pre-requisites following:

  (a) not partitioned 200 GB free space on the disk (only 1 physical disk)

  (b) already installed Windows 8 files with UEFI

  (c) UEFI enabled

  (d) heritage disabled startup

  (e) secure boot disabled

  When I Boot in UEFI of CD/DVD, I can't switch to the Windows startup screen, it just hangs. What I am doing wrong? Is there any other prerequisites that I don't know?

  I tried to install UEFI with Legacy enabled Boot, and I installed win7 but I can't disable Legacy new Boot because Win7 boot and I want only the UEFI Boot and need for inheritance disabled.

  2. where can I download drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop?

  I found this topic:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/HP-envy-DV6-7210ei-downgrade-fr...

  They point to these drivers

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us & dlc = in & lc = in & product = 5273735 & task = &

  I think I could use these drivers, but I need just in case where. I guess they should work as the product names are roughly similar (with mine).

  3. is it possible to Secure Boot with Windows 7 SP1?

  I have no research on this so far.

  Thanks for the help that someone in the community can give to me, it is not important all the problems that I have set in I can still do research on questions 2 and 3 and help others with my research if I can do it before a response. Any info you can give me will be too great.

  (1) ' secure Boot' must be DISABLED and 'Legacy Support' must be ENABLED to install Windows 7 and many other older operating systems. The bootable media must support UEFI boot to install on a GPT-partitioned drive.

  You let people with DISABILITIES 'Secure Boot' (and 'Legacy Support' ENABLED) once you have installed Windows 7. Changing these options causes Windows 7 to start is no longer.

  (2) the Windows 7 drivers on the CTO Entertainment Notebook PC drivers HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 page you referenced, will work on your computer.

  (3) it is not possible to install or use Windows 7 with "Secure Boot" ACTIVE.

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' on the page parameters below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post to the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (just the text string will do) to these devices as shown in the example below.

• No sound after installing windows 10 MBP 2012

  Hello world

  Here's what I did.

  I have MBP 2012 with El Capitan on it.

  I installed windows on this 10. Here are the steps I followed.

  1. Plist file modified to allow the creation of iso windows 10 on USB for my MBP (PreUSBBoot USBBoot and 2 other usual changes)
  2. ISO file 10 Windows installed
  3. Make a key USB bootable but Bootcamp with drivers
  4. Use disk utility to partition the drive for windows (reason - because it gives error while installing windows, windows MBR EFI only on device TPG error)
  5. Restarted my MBP used and selected EFI boot option key (as when installing windows in Bootcamp, it gave an error saying no device found startup)
  6. Installed Windows and driver loaded by installing bootcamp
  7. Everything works fine but the sound

  Tried, but failed

  1. Clean install of windows if partition bootcamp (error - no found boot device)
  2. Boot EFI (error - error EFI GPT MBR, windows can be installed only on TPG error)
  3. Tried the update of drivers for the sound. However, did not

  Please help me with the steps to solve this problem. In addition, windows is not activated is there any way through which I can still get windows 10 free.

  Change the Info.plist file is incorrect. Your MBP 2012 takes in charge the two, USB and DVD facilities. Please use BCA and remove the current installation. Installation of Windows using boot EFI on a preUEFI machine will cause more problems.

• I can't install windows on MacBook 15 inch 512 GB 2015

  Hello

  I just brought my new laptop I want to install windows on this 10 by bootcamp. I saw a lot of videos on youtube about installing windows on a mac.

  And I have the iso of windows and proceed to installing windows subsequently after that download the file of taking in charge of windows there was an error popup "WINDOWS FILE cannot NOT BE COPYED". Later when I retried but I need to download a media file, so I download the separate media file instead. But how do I add this file to boot camp instead download it again.

  Please help me with it on this error and the Windows Media file. IM using Bootcamp 6.0.1 so I think it's not see option select task during installation windows 10.

  Can I install Windows on mac without having to install the media file. While I can install it later when windows is installed on BOOTCAMP 6.0 NOT the PREVIOUS VERSION.

• Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?

  Greetings!

  The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.

  I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?

  What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?

  I do not understand your question about "interface."

  The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.

  See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab

  Your computer was preinstalled with:

  Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)

  and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.

  My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.

  Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows.  That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».

• Problems of Jet 7 HP recovery after installing Windows 10 TP

  Hi all

  A month ago I bought the HP Jet 7. Soon after receiving it, I installed Windows 10 TP, without first create and save an Image of the system to an external drive recovery. While playing with Windows 10 TP, suddenly the touch screen doesn't work anymore, as well as WLAN. The SD card is not recognized eiter (and I can't boot from it). I now can with Windows only when you attach an external USB keyboard. I can't get into the BIOS (power-Volume-down).

  I tried to go back to Windows 8.1, so far without success. I tried the regular Windows recovery mechanisms - all fail. When booting from a USB 2.0 with 8.1 32-bit of Windows Installer source attached to a USB hub powered by bus, at least, I'm able to boot, and I see that your partition 4 is a recovery partition. Yet, when you mount the partition (via DISKPART) to check for recovering images in the 'Images of Windows' folder I only get "access denied".

  Does anyone have tips on how to do to get my stream of HP 7?

  Thanks for reading!

  / Maurice

  Hi all

  After you remove all of the partitions and create the recommended UEFI/GPT partition , I was finally able to install Windows USB 8.1. I guess the reason for all the facilities prior to failure were remnants of W10 Technical Preview (for example, recovery or similar tools). So in short: I had to wipe the hard drive to a successful downgrade.

• Elite 8300, re - install windows 7 problem on new drive

  Hi all

  I juist bought a number of the PC Elite 8300. I want to install an SSD of replacement instead of the player that comes with the unit.

  I can happily re - install windows, but it won't catch the key of windows since the bios and not asking the license key during the installation is complete.

  I use a windows 7 Professional dvd. I even tried restoring factory DVD but they complain that the disk is smaller than the original.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  The key in the BIOS is only good for W8.

  You need a product key of Windows 7 to install W7.

  If your PC came with the W8 Pro (which no doubt), you do not have the rights to downgrade, but you'll have to contact HP support for sorting.

  I don't know what to tell you.

  Basically, they have to provide you with a W7 product key in order to install W7 Pro.

  Recovery disks only works on the same hard disk of size (or more) like the one provided with your PC.

• Satellite P200 - Microphone has stopped working after installing Windows 7

  My Satellite P200 came with Vista Ultimate, the mic has worked for a few months, all of a sudden it stopped. I decided to install Windows 7, but the microphone still does not work.
  Any ideas anyone?

  I use this laptop for skpe my people a lot. I can use an external mic very well, but really want my only integrated works again.

  Hey Buddy,

  Sounds like there of something wrong with your installation of Windows 7 so the microphone doesn t work anymore...

  I recommend updating the driver of the webcam, because the microphone is a part of it. You can find updates driver here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  I put t know what Satellite P200 you have exactly, but if you can t find a driver Windows 7 for webcam, choose another model which is fully Windows 7 taken in charge, e.g. by Satellite P300.

• Cannot install windows XP on the Satellite Pro A200-1N2

  Jin

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. I downgraded the bios to V5.30 but still cannot install windows xp and there is still no optin for SATA in the bios.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Did you install the SATA drivers first?
  You need this driver to recognize the HARD drive!

  You must download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it on the page of the Toshiba driver or the Intel Web site.

  You must perform the installation of an external USB FDD drive using the F6 key during the installation of Win XP.
