Is it possible to add the Win7 Home Premium 'Administrator' user account so that it can be selected during normal connection? I want to be able to log-in as Administrator without going the route of the F8, as in XP.

• Windows 7 Home Premium - all user accounts have disappeared after the update of Windows...

  My Windows 7 Desktop is really watered.  After a Windows automatic update, none of the user accounts appear in the login window.  Only a generic connection where you will need to enter the user and the password are displayed.  And when I enter the user name and password, I get a message that they are not valid.

  Here are a few additional pieces of information:

  1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

  2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.  I don't know what happened to them that they do not appear on the screen of restore points.

  3. I can't log on to the computer at all, none of the accounts work.  I can get to a command prompt by using the repair disk, and I can see all the folders for the users.  So everything is intact.   Something must have happened to some system files and thus connect is not possible.

  4. users appear in the list of profiles in the registry.

  5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

  6. I tried sfc/scannow, but I get an error "already waiting.

  7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

  I tried searching online and I'm still not able to connect to the computer.  It has been 2 days of downtime.  What happened to my old restore points?  And why doesn't my restore points created by the work of windows update?

  I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

  -> Which files are missing? Can you give an example?

  2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.

  -> This happens after the automatic updates.

  5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

  -> How to tell you, because you were unable to connect?

  7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

  ->, I guess you have done this so that in the WRE (repair Windows environment). It is a ghost environment that disappears that you restart the system. Drive X: is a virtual, not a real disc.

  I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

  -> Many people are unaware of the need for regular backups (for example, weekly) until they are suffering from a major disaster.

  Suggestions

  Going by your description, I suspect that your existing accounts are irreparable. They need to be rebuilt. User data appear to be safe.

  Option 1. Use the console commands then in WRE to save all the files of the user on an external hard drive. A disk 2.5 "500 GB in a USB enclosure costs less than $60,00. After having tested the files on another machine, perform a destructive factory restore.

  Option 2. Start the computer with a boot of Ubuntu CD, then its GUI allows to save files to the user. It takes time to burn such a CD, but the copy process is easier. When you're done, do a factory restore.

  Option 3. A somewhat complex process allows you to create a new admin account, and then use this account to create new user accounts. You must then manually configure each of them (for example Outlook) and move their records of the old data to the new profile folders.

  There is also a method to restore old files registry of a set of backup files are a few days old. In your case I wouldn't consider as it would create a disjoint system: the registry files refers to a set of files that have been largely modified by the update.

  Post again if you need more detailed instructions for the option that you favor.

• Pavilion dv7t-4000 laptop: AMD HDMI port on the computer laptop dv7 is lost after free trial Win10 returns to Win7 Home Premium edition

  My laptop was purchased in sept 2010 and runs Win7 Home Premium Edition (64-bit).

  It worked perfectly until June 2016, when the trial version free odious Win10 forced itself on my laptop.  I had no choice, I used Win10 for a day or 2 and then discovered that:

  (1) I lost the audio capability, HDMI port, I use to connect to my TV, and

  (2) the Win10 trial enabled me to return on Win7, I did without delay.

  In my Win 7 restored, everything was fine, except when I have her go in Control Panel to configure / reconfigure HDMI as the default, I couldn't - the element used to appear as "AMD HDMI Audio" is no longer displayed.  I remember a message during the free trial period Win10 that says it has disabled any material incompatible.  Without a doubt, Win10 free trial 'killed' this HDMI/device port, at least audio-wise.

  Today, I always run the same Win7, but I can't have audio HDMI on this port.  When I connect to my TV, the video works.  Win7 Device Manager it shows with an exclamation in yellow, and when I right click to get more details, there is a message saying Microsoft:

  Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52).

  Is there a way to 'get it '?  'this' is AMD HDMI audio.  (and wthout spoil the graphics - that is, video)

  I tried to install the drivers provided by AMD [graphics] and that did not work. The Internet from AMD website says that the audio drivers are included in the package for graphics drivers.  There is also a huge confusion in the way these low level items are named/described: ATI and AMD, because they have merged, were used somewhat interchangeably.  I also tried the graphics drivers AMD HP Support Web site specific to my laptop and it has only gotten worse.

  Thank you for your kind attention.

  Hi @ RTX,

  Awesome response. I read the details and depth of your post. I understand that the bios is updated. So you could end up with this update.

  Happens to the other updates. This will be the order.

  1. Uninstalling the driver Chipset and resettlement.

  2 reinstalling and uninstalling graphics drivers

  3. uninstall the sound drivers and reinstall.

  Before uninstalling, you can try to update the drivers supplied by device also Manager and if that market that will be great. Please, do it only if you don't have already done.

  Before uninstalling please make sure that you capture an image of the complete Device Manager window. Take some pictures of your cell phone. Please note the exact device for audio and video chipset drivers. Then, you will need to uninstall it from the Device Manager and install from the support site in the above order so that there is no confusion.

  If nothing works as a last resort, you may need to restore complete system to factory settings. Please backup your files before doing so. This is possible since the recovery of your computer's hard drive partition.

• I just bought a Win7 Home Premium Box to the Brazil need to know if and how I can install it in English or Spanish.

  I'll upgrade a Win7 Home Basic Spanish to a Win 7 Home Premium. I just bought a Win7 Home Premium Box to Brazil (Brazilian DVD), in Puerto Rico and wanted to know if and how I can install it in English or Spanish, I said that I can choose any language during installation

  The person using the machine knows not Portuguese, so Windows must be either in English or in Spanish. I said by two vendors that it was possible, but I'm not 100% sure. Wanted to confirm before you open the box.

  Thank you very much in advance

  Only the version of Windows 7 Ultimate supports multilingual functionality.  You can upgrade using the Windows Anytime Upgrade feature for $139.95, or you can buy the English version of Windows Home Premium and install it.

  Good luck.
