loading windows 7 on hp pavilion a810n feasibility

I have a hp pavilion a810n with 2 GB of ram, 160 GB HDD, 3300 + AMD athlon 64 processor, processor 2.4 ghz, 760 SIS mirage 2 speed graphics.   I would like to install windows 7 64-bit on this machine.   I ran the windows Upgrade Advisor 7 and he pointed out 2 things that I should be concerned: 1) support Windows Aero.  It is said that my current graphics card will not support the Windows Aero user interface and if I want to enjoy the benefits of Windows Aero, I must contact my manufacturer to check if an upgrade is available.  (Does that mean I need a new graphics card?)  If so than that?)    (2) siS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet adapt.  It is said that before installing Windows 7, I have to go to the device manufacturer's Web site to download the latest driver for this device. After I installed Windows 7, I have to install the registered driver.  (I guess that the HP site would have the necessary driver.)

If I do things the Advisor indicates, will I have a good experience with windows 7?

Thanks in advance

HP will not have the drivers for your model and Windows 7. You should still be fine with some adjustments like adding a real Ethernet card. Regarding the graphics-Windows 7 works very well even without downforce.

Your motherboard specifications shows a video card AGP slot and 3 PCI slots which means that you could add a real video card if you wish, although the AGP cards are becomes hard to find and required PCI network card:

  • Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl: Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl replacement HD not recognized when loading windows

    I bought a replacement HD for my Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl and loading windows, I need to load the driver (I guess that a driver IDE or SATA).  It throws an error saying no compatible device not found driver (I can get exact error if necessary).  I went on HP website, downloaded 2 bios drivers, Bios tools, and storage driver.  What is an exe, I ran and then copied the directory created on a CD.

    I point to the CD and still unable to find the device driver.

    Any ideas?

    If another HD is required, no problem.  If it is a driver problem, a pointer in the right direction would be helpful.

    If you are prompted for a driver to support the hard drive during the installation of Windows? It's because the Manager of storage on this laptop isn't RAID, AHCI and Windows 7 isn't this RAID driver available on the installation disc. But fear not only intel makes the driver available here:

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/24779/Intel-rapid-storage-technology-Intel-RST-RAID-driver

    You need the F6 driver for 32 or 64 bit one correct installation that you do.  If 64-bit, you must f6flpy-x 64.zip. These are compressed files (.zip). Download the .zip to a different computer and extract the .zip to a USB key and when you reach him point the Windows installation when it is asked for a driver, navigate to the location where the files were extracted from the thumb drive. This should allow you to proceed with the Windows installation.

  • New Pavilion g7-2220 will not load Windows to start-up

    Hello

    I just bought a new Pavilion g7-2220 and am just finishing the initial commissioning.  All registration modules and guests of live recording of MS are fine, but then the computer will not load Windows.  He explains in brief it is impossible to load Windows from the hard drive in a small dialogue window, then restarts and brings back me guests for the first time again.  It is supposed to be preloaded with Windows 8.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Again, this computer is brand new.

    Thank you.

    Hey Shannon3363,

    I'm very sorry to hear that you are having problems of this kind out of the box. The first option, I'd watch is an Exchange. If this is not a viable option, you can reset the operating system. This is a very simple process.

    1. prior to turn on/off the laptop, press in and hold the escape key

    2. press the power button as usual to start and hold down ESC until you see the Menu Start Up

    3. on the Start Menu, press F11 to go in Recovery Manager

    4. choose your keyboard

    5. click on troubleshoot

    6. click on reset your PC

    7. select just delete my files

    Leave about 30-45 minutes for the reset is complete. If you're still having problems with this load Windows normally, please let me know. Once again I aplogize for the inconvenience. Depending on where you have, there could be several reasons so that he can behave in this way. If you've got it to a brick and mortar store, technicians will provide implementation services and anything can happen during this period. I'll keep an eye out for your answer!

  • Pavilion a810n drivers for Windows 7

    I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7, but after the installation of the OS, I am unable to find drivers for Audio, video and NIC.

    HP support site lists only Windows XP drivers and even then no video driver and NIC is present.

    Please let me know where I can find drivers for Windows 7 for Pavilion a810n desktop PC.

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    I do not think that the graphics card in this model can run windows 7, so you won't find any graphics driver that works.

    Once you're connected to the internet, try the automatic update of the video controller driver and see if Windows Update can't find something.

    Here are links to the audio and network drivers you need.

  • E9 error loading windows 7 new hard drive

    Am having a problem of loading Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion p6241f. I tried using recovery software that was created by the local store here and when it doesn't work, I borrowed a copy of Windows 7 Home premium from a friend. During the first boot of windows, the software times out with an error E9.

    The original software recovery disk only arrives at 8%, then stays there. In an effort to solve the problems, I downloaded the cyberlink "fix" (from this website) and created the CD, this update was for arising problems while performing a system restore, but that did not fix my problem and so... I decided to borrow the copy of windows 7 Home premium.

    If I'm stuck with a boat anchor? I don't really want to bring it to HP for repair! Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hello

    Your PC model number was first delivered in 2009.  The COA PC is Win 7 64 bit or are you referring to the COA for the Win 7 install disc?

    HP recovery disks are generally reluctant to HARD drive smaller than what has been delivered with the PC. It is from your PC, comes with a 1 TB HARD drive. Thus the recovery disks created by the repair shop should work on a 1 TB HARD drive, unless they are defective.

    Is the advanced format HDD 1 TB HARD drive? I think that previous versions of HP Win 7 recovery disks will not work on an advanced format HDD.

    You can order a set of recovery discs here. Or you could try to download the right version of Win 7 SP1 Refresh of ISO media here, burn it to disc and try to reinstall Win 7 64 bit with the disc. You should be able to activate Windows 7 using the certificate of Authenticity affixed to your PC.

    You may also have a problem with the SATA controller on the motherboard or it could be a problem with the SATA port you use. Try another SATA cable and connect it to another motherboard SATA port.

    Is- this utility from Cyberlink you tried to use it with the HP recovery discs?

    I'm out of ideas. Maybe another more knowledgeable forum member has some additional thoughts.

  • After loading Windows - crashes BSOD on Portege A200

    Portege A200 Windows XP;

    Before windows has finished loading a blue screen appears and the machine stops. Prior to that, the machine was intermittenlty off without apparent reason. The last thing I did before this happened has been updated to IE 7. Ran scandisk, but has not fixed anything.

    Can start in safe mode but impossible to uninstall IE7 in safe mode. The option selected to load windows last config that worked to option, but windows crashes before the end of loading. Restoration of the system to consider the return to January 08 but still the same problem.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    In this case, I would recommend do you a clean installation of OS. As you can see that nothing done. I don't really know what you can try, but I really don't think that you will be able to do anything.

    Save all your data important and make the clean OS installation. I know it's quite radical solution but, believe me, one that suits.

  • Satellite L300 laptop will not load Windows

    I have a model of Satellite L300 number PSLB0A - 00L 022 running windows Vista.

    The problem is that it does not load Windows. It starts ok and I can access the boot manager and the Setup utility and that's it. It stops just loading.
    After studying the problem, I ran a car aptitude test and the result was the error code 0 x 70. After looking at the code I m under the impression that I need to erase the disc. I have no problem with that.

    My question is - if I run the windows Recovery Wizard will be it solve my problem? I will have to re install vista at all? All advice is appreciated!

    Hello Jane and welcome in the Toshiba forum

    After reading your ad, I must say that the best solution and easier for you is to reinstall the operating system via original Toshiba recovery DVD. This DVD contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools. After recovery image installation you will get state out-of-box and clean the preinstalled operating system.

    Yes, this should solve your problem. Please note: when you do it all saved data will be deleted.

    You have some important data saved on your laptop?
    Do not use this disc reinstall Vista and everything should be ok again.

  • I need to display a corporate tutorial site which is only supported by Microsoft Windows.  Is it possible to load windows on an external hard drive and a MacBook to view the Web site?

    I need to post a tutorial for some training company corporate site only supports Microsoft Windows.  I'll buy a MacBook in the coming weeks when I go to training and I wonder if there is a way to load windows on an external drive and launch it on my MacBook?  I know you can use bootcamp, but I don't want to burn up that much of my Flash memory by placing it on the MacBook itself.  I have a 1 to Seagate that I use on my iMac at home for Time Machine.  Could just operate with Windows on it to visit the society tutorial with my MacBook?

    Boot Camp will not allow that.

    It is possible that one of the many emulators Windows for Mac can allow you to run with such a disk configuration.

  • Blue Screen of death - now cannot load Windows (even in safe mode)

    Laptop last night (Satellite L500-19Z;) Win 7 64 bit) crashed while playing CIV4. Had a blue screen of death. before I had the chance to read one of the error messages about the computer restarted.

    It loaded windows in SafeMode very well then and informed me that he had loaded OK the problem safe mode will be linked to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I had installed until it loads normally. As it was late last night I closed and thought I would sort the morning (with the benefit of hindsight it may have been a mistake...).

    Today, when the computer tries to start, it tries a startup repair; Unfortunately it does not work every time and it says "Startup Repair tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem"

    I looked at the paper it produces, but it passes all of the individual tests.

    I can't access also advanced recovery options system & support, that appears in the Startup Repair dialog box as it requires that I be connected, which apparently I am not (probably the machine never got to the windows screen connection before attempting repair system). The error message reads "you must be logged to access system recovery options. If you encounter problems to connect, please contact your computer administrator for help. Please click OK to restart the computer. »

    I had a go at the start in the advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command etc., but the result is the same).

    I also tried the repair of your computer to the screen option options advanced boot, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same error of connection mentioned above.

    Is it possible to repair or even run windows based hard drive recovery (do not have the DVD of recovery with me as I'm away from home for a few weeks) without connecting to windows? I expected here, but have not yet find a way to do it.

    (there is no disc in the disc drive, no other devices connected to the laptop - I tried with power outlet and the battery and have not noticed differences)

    Thank you

    Hello

    Pitty, you cannot retrieve the HEXADECIMAL code
    On this side, I think that your HD or registry is damaged and you have to reinstall the entire system

  • Satellite 1410 801 stops loading Windows - corrupt files

    For several months I have problems at the start of my laptop: it will restart several times, stop to perform the will of loading windows; Sometimes I get start of message (registry) files are corrupted etc. In most cases, it will start after several tests correctly. I already reinstalled (clean disk) made several memory and disc of the controls without any error message. What can be the reason for this problem?

    I intend to replace the memory card or HARD drive BUT if this should solve the problem. Can someone give some advice or tips?

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to give a correct diagnosis. If the problem persists after the installation of clean operating system, in my opinion, you should check HARD drive first (upgrades and hope that other hardware components are original without).

    Try to get another HARD drive, Exchange and install the OS by using recovery media. In my opinion, it should be the first step.
