• Can Windows 7 Pro install on Windows 8?

  Recently bought a new Dell computer.  To Windows 7 Pro installed but I was told that they cannot sell new units with Windows 8 is installed.  I understand that Windows 8 has no XP compatibility feature which has Windows 7 Pro.  If I install Windows 7 Pro on Windows 8?

  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

• New computer with Windows 7 Pro installed - also came with disks to Windows 8 Pro - what I lose everything?

  I recently bought a new computer. It was announced to come with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. Since the announcement, I assumed that it would be implemented for a dual-boot (something that I have never made or used it before).

  In another section of this community, I have posted a question, "what happens first – the chicken or the Egg," asking if I would like to transfer my data and applications before that upgrade to Windows 8 or after. I received responses almost half a dozen all recommend that I transferred my files prior to upgrade. With the new software of practice by hand and using a cable standard CAT5, I transferred all my files, including data and most of my applications, my old computer to the new computer. The transfer takes about six hours and I had about an hour of work later to install my pst, BOINC, Malwarebytes, etc..

  I decided that today would be the day and I would upgrade to Windows 8. There are three disks to:

  1. the claims & recovery of pilots

  2. system recovery disk for operating

  3 supplemental Recovery Disc

  However, when reading the attached brochure, there is a warning very clear that if I use these discs, I lose all my apps and data and will have to start from scratch. In many previous editions of Windows, I remember using upgrade disks. Recovery disks were what I did when I first installed the new computer.

  So, I ask, this is the only way I can achieve this? Am I condemned to throw seven hours of work? Y there is a place, less painful alternatives?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Unfortunately, this is how the work of recovery discs, they do not operate like retail disk that will give you the ability to dual boot.

  Your options are limited.

• Network connection between Windows 7 Pro and Windows XP Pro wireless

  Nice day.

  I am trying to connect to a Windows XP pro to a home wireless network, hosted by a pc Windows 7 Pro. I can see all the other PCs on the XP pc but cannot get them to connect. When I click the icon for the Windows 7 pc and try to log in (open) he asks a user name and password but I don't know what is the user name. I guess the password is generated by the computer windows 7, when I set up the homegroup. Would you please advise me on what to do to make this work. Thank you.

  Hi ArnBas,

  Looks like you are facing a problem with network computers. I came to find this documentation for you who speaks the networking of the various versions of the computers.

  Just through the same thing and check if everything is fine with the settings. Also, take a look at this very useful information.

  I hope this helps!

• have a pc with windows xp pro installed. can I reinstall the same cd?

  I've given nine pc with Genuine Windows XP Pro pre-installed.  I need to reinstall it. I have same as installed cd. Can I reinstall this cd?

  Sure. As long as you have the key to refurbished product for PC and the CD is the same if it is OEM version by the manufacturer.

  If it's a retail CD, probably will not work with the OEM key.

• Clean Windows 7 Pro install Pavilion M8517c

  It's time for a change of hard disk.

  Running Win Premium which has been installed as a Vista upgrade by the previous owner.

  There are bugs and problems with this configuration and I would like to start with a clean copy of Win 7 Pro on a new 120 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD for the OS and programs using a new WD Black 1 TB as the data disk.

  ACPI x 64 PC Driver V 6.1.7600.16385

  BIOS 6.1.7601.17514

  Are Intel Core 2 Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz processors.

  Storage controller is Intel ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R / / PCH SATA Raid Driver V 8.9.0.1023

  NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT video card

  Currently has 5 GB of memory which I'm upgrading to 8 MB.

  I am computer literate, not a computer scientist and have done a good amount of home working on logistics for the 2 drive configuration, but I hate surprises.

  Will it get the required specific drivers of HP before installation or the installation of Win 7 disk will take care of this for me?

  I have the system recovery discs, which are for Win Vista OS but I think that they only work for the original Vista installation.

  Thanks in advance

  Here's the original specifications for your desktop HP Pavilion Media Center m8517c. The HP recovery disks only returns the computer to a factory State... including Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit, drivers and HP provided software (BTW, recovery disks cannot install an SSD). If you want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro, skip using the HP recovery discs.

  Some drivers may be installed by Windows 7, and you will need to download the remaining drivers from the manufacturers of different devices. Intel for chipset drivers Realtek for network and HD audio, NVIDIA for graphics drivers, pilots etc. If you have any questions, find the right drivers please post (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below.

  

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  Your PC is preinstalled with Windows 10. If you delete or overwrite the original Win10 on your PC with Win 7, you will encounter serious problems as there are no HP Win7 drivers for new hardware that comes with new machines.
  
  MS provides drivers that provide only the basic features.  This means that the functionality of the material is likely to NOT work if you force a downgrade.  Which includes functions such as the touch pad, graphics swtichable, WiFi, USB ports - to name the functions commonly reported here.
  
  If you want all the features of the machine, you must keep the original version of OS preinstalled.

  Sorry, but if what you need is a PC Win7, you should have bought a Win7 PC.
  
  Good luck

• Reinstalling operating system on the HP laptop which has Vista, Win 7 family Premium and Windows 7 Pro installed.

  I have a HP Pavilion 6500 CTO (?) vintage 2008 model.  It came with Vista Premium. It is the only time that I forgot to make a recovery disk, but there is a sort of drive partitioned D that could be disaster recovery.  Anyway. .. . . .

  I made one of the first Windows 7 Premium Upgrade downloads (I still have the right to download a backup).  I also bought 6 months later any when upgrading to Windows 7 Pro.

  I would like to donate this laptop to a member of the family, so I would like to start with a clean slate of the operating system and drivers of origin if the wireless hardware and other works.  Two Questions

  1. If I create a recovery disc in the current state of the computer to have Win 7 Pro loaded, format the hard drive and then try to reinstall the OS from the recovery disk, which will load OS - Vista or Win 7 Pro?

  2. see question 1 - it is the best way to offer a new beginning for the system with a reformat and reinstall OS, or is there a better solution?  As I said, I don't have a recovery for the Vista operating system disk.

  Thanks in advance,

  W!

  Cheryl: thank you.  I had to google "active partition" and found how how to change active partitions, but I did not know after you change the active partition this restart start RecovManager...  Uh, excuse the "duh" question, but I guess you can't have a SINGLE partition active at a time, correct?

  The question is a little more complicated.  When he restores the computer to the original state, it also roll back updates to the BIOS, or are those left intact? Why ask?  At the beginning, on this model of AMD, I had a fan / overheating issue that has been resolved by updating the bios to set when the fan on.  I might have to reinstall this update of the bios of HP!

  «mark the recovery partition as "active" and reboot, it will then start this partition and start the Recovery Manager»

  The bios will not be affected.
