Laptop 15.6 inch HP 15-g070nr: I install Windows 7 on Windows 8?

I'm looking at a 15-g070nr 15.6 "HP laptop that comes with Windows 8 is installed. However, the main use I want this laptop for uses WIndows 7 and is above all incompatible with Windows 8. Can I legally install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit OS on the operating system Windows 8 without voiding the warranty?

Tom

Installation of Windows 7 will not void the warranty.

The license for Windows 8.1 activation key does not work for Windows 7. You need a separate licence for this.

I advise you to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7. All the required drivers for Windows 7 (64-bit) are available on the following link. http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-notebook-PC-series/6545564/model/7241977/drivers

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    Recently, I tried to install Ubuntu on my PC, but accidentally ubuntu installation formatted the entire disk, including the recovery disc. Now that I am running Ubuntu and want to install window 8.1 again but didn't have the key to it. Is there anyway to recover the key.

    The key is embedded in the BIOS, so if you run the installation media for the right version (Home or Pro and not retail OEM) it will activate only. The other problem you'll have is to get the boot to Ubuntu grub loader works after installing Windows again the long side.

  • Cannot install Windows XP on Windows 7 on a HP Elite 2540p laptop

    Hello:

    On your mobile in particular, it is easy to install Windows XP, if you know what to do.

    Read the section of the installation guide for the repair on the link below, Chapter 5, page 100.

    http://bizsupport2.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c02664684/c02664684.PDF

    Change the device SATA from AHCI to IDE mode. Save the setting here (F10 key), and again when you go out.

    Start your XP disk and it should now install without problem.

    The tricky part is to install the SATA AHCI driver after installing XP, so you can change the setting back to AHCI.

    This will allow your drive HARD to use native command queuing, which is not available in IDE mode.

    Install XP, post back when you're done, and I will give you the instructions step by step to install the AHCI driver so you can change the storage back from IDE to AHCI setting.

    You cannot change the setting back until you load the AHCI driver, or the laptop does not start.

  • How to install Windows XP Professional on Toshiba laptop?

    Hi all

    I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is a Computer Phobic and has the same brand and model of Toshiba laptop than me. He would like to go back instead of Windows Vista business to Windows XP Professional.

    Its hard drive is the hard disk from Western Digital WD 1200BEVS. He told me that when he went to install Windows XP, it came with no HARD drive. I don't know if I can quote the chipset here, but here it is anyway. The chipset is an Intel(r) ICH8M ultra ata storage controllers-2850. All the advice in a simple format would be gratefull. He downloaded the bios unsuccessfully and nlite to work on a computer with some help of a computer technician on a thumb (flash) drive)

    I'm someone who can help thanking on behalf of my friend who is a Computer Phobic and does not have an interweb connection.

    Usually, if you write about these issues you inform us also what model of laptop you have, or that model As your friend.

    Please don t get me wrong, but on this forum, you can find hundreds of threads with the same theme and very good answers and solutions. You might be looking for this forum if you can find some similar thread?

    Hello John

    It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
    In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

    What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

  • Laptop using Windows key to install Windows on another CD of license

    Hi all.

    I'm from Portugal, if my laptop came with a recovery dvd that installs Windows XP Home Edition in Portuguese language.
    My question is: is it possible to install Windows XP Home English from a different CD (no not via the dvd recovery) and continue to use the license key of windows that comes with the laptop?

    for example, is the license key for laptop for Windows XP Home Edition (any language) or specifically for Windows XP Home Portuguese?

    Thankx in advance!

    Hello

    NO, it is not possible to s. The key that is located on the cover of the CD is not activation key for Windows OS. This key you use to activate the Microsoft OneNote, which is preinstalled on the image of Toshiba.

    More info. :
    Usually, the image of Toshiba is already activated and you n t need to activate the image of Toshiba.
