  Your new PC must have provided with software to play. Otherwise, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if she did or why it didn't.

• Replace the new Windows8 laptop with Windows7 professional - no disks, but have recovery discs and product key

  I have recently fried my laptop 3 year old who has Windows 7 top (my husband he drowned in coffee!).  I bought a new Toshiba laptop and it came with Windows 8.  I already have a laptop with Windows 8.1 so would like to change the more recent Windows 7.  I have the laptop recovery disks drowned and the product key for Windows 7 Professional upgrade.  How can I change to Windows 7 Professional?  I think I need to totally erase Windows 8 first, but I don't know how to do it.

• Failure of Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade on the new computer laptop

  Hello

  We just bought a new Asus laptop that came with Windows 7 Starter as standard.

  A week later, we bought an Express Upgrade Home Premium 7.

  The upgrade has failed at first time around; following the advice of the community, I tried the following:

  Check all updates;

  Installed the CheckSUR tool fix;

  Disabled user account control;

  Disabled antivirus;

  The hard drive to find errors;

  Profiled selective startup in MSConfig.

  In the end, I got was a "invalid product key" - which it is not.

  Windows displays as entered, and I have SP1.

  As a last resort, I have reset the specifications of the factory and tried the Express upgrade as the first thing on the PC 'cost '. Upgrade failed after 25 minutes.

  In the very final resort, I reset all the solutions above workaround to the specifications of the factory again, re-directed (except by disabling the antivirus because I have not reinstalled which again - there is only Windows Firewall between me and the world wide). Update failed.

  I just tried to disable the Windows Firewall and tried the upgrade - my product key verified program, was asked to accept the terms, told me it would be as little as 10 minutes - but now it's to say the upgrade button that I entered is a version of Windows that does not work with the Express upgrade... but it IS an Express upgrade.

  It took nine days so far - please you have the magic answer? Thank you waiting...!

• Buy a new laptop or wait until what Windows 7 release?

  I bought a new HP laptop. I just wanted to know if I have to wait until 22 October (when Windows 7 comes out).

  When HP will begin selling HP laptop with Windows 7?

  Thank you

  I suggest that you wait after October 22, which is the date when HP starts selling laptops with Windows 7 pre-installed. If you buy now, you will still get Windows 7 as an upgrade, but it have come preinstalled on your laptop is better than upgrade from Vista IMO.

• HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop: seeking the machine with windows 8.1 - and the upgrade to 10.

  Hi all

  I am looking at buying a machine to re-furb.

  HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop

  The machine has windows 8.1 and I wanted to know if there was problems with upgrade to windows 10.

  edillard

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about upgrading your PC to Win10 and wanted to help.

  While HP has not tested your PC with Win10 and has not certified it will work, the good news is that HP does not provide drivers for your PC Win10: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-17-n000-notebook-pc-touch/7777355/model/8429748#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2

  If this page does not display the windows 10 when you open it, then click Edit and select Windows 10 in the menu drop-down.

  Unfortunately, the Win10 GoBack function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.
  
  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck

• Windows 8 on my new computer laptop vaio, what a waste!

  I have a new laptop, a vaio SVS1511L3ES

  After a few problems with my installation of windows 7, I decided to switch to windows 8.

  I did a clean install and hoped that the Vaio Upgrade Tool for Windows 8 lite will install the drivers, but it didn't.

  First of all, it downloads the files, for literally hours. Half the files it downloads are files that I didn't need. (AMD drivers, even if there is not an AMD chip in my laptop)

  Then, after downloading for hours, the upgrade wizard crashes with an error of installation:

  Error

  On the Post Install, line 151: Argument 1 must be of type string.

  Stack traceback:

  1: [Post Install] line 151 in main piece

  Since this happened, I get this same error whenever I start windows, after logging in to my account.

  So I decided to manually install the drivers.

  So far so good, most works except:

  1. key doesn't work don't no, except the volume keys and mute

  2 device manager displays "unknown device" (on Intel (r) Express Chipset LPC Controller HM76 - 1E59)

  3. I can't get rid of the error that I get to the start, caused by the failure of the system initiated by the upgrade wizard.

  I don't really you, how a NEW laptop that I JUST bought, with a FRESH windows installation 8 is unable to operate as normal.

  Why is it I don't need files download windows Upgrade Wizard 8, crashing and then send me errors whenever I start windows?

  Brightness controls do not work why?

  After sleeping with installation of different orders, package installation, uninstalling packages, regedit, msconfig and so now I'm a little frustrated here.

  Change the language for non-Unicode for English in the regional and language settings - administration tab, then restart.

  Mine has been on my tongue. The facility has resumed after I restarted.

• Printing a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file generates a file but it is empty. How can I fix it? I have Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop for Windows 10

  When I print a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file, it creates a new file, but file Explorer says it's 0 KB in size. These .pdf files will open, but they are white - the only thing that appears is the outline of a page, without anything in the outline. When I print an .xps file, File Explorer shows that it contains 0 KB. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that the XPS Viewer cannot open the file. These things just started for me a few days after I installed Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop of Toshiba Satellite with 10 Home Windows operating system. I have the latest version of Flash Player (in fact, I just tried redownloading and reinstalling the current version; that does not solve the problem). I tried to change the format by default to print to .pdf file, but that has not solved the problem. I contacted the chat Windows support site; They told me that it was not a Windows problem. Is this a Firefox problem? If so, you can tell me how to solve the problem, please?

  Thank you

  First of all, try to disable the extensions to see if that helps this, then try safe mode.

• HP 250 G5 laptop: Re-upgrade a Windows 7 Professional 64 laptop downgraded to Windows Pro 64 10

  I have a laptop HP 250 G5 with Windows 7 64 Professional installed and activated by the manufacturer (as it is possible through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights).

  Key export is available, however, are placed only in the firmware, I guess, for the derivation of Windows 10.

  So, the question is if it is theoretically possible to re - install Windows 10 64 Pro, with only the original rights and the key to virtual product and in which of these ways:

  Clean install of the operating system, pre-installed programs loss;

  Upgrade of the operating system;

  System to dual-boot, in the case.

  Thanks in advance!

  I have been informed by marshals on this forum that Downgrade on a PC Win10 rights are to be exercised at the factory--until the PC is delivered - and is not something that a consumer may exercise after receiving the product.

  But I'm not an expert in this area, and you should probably check with customer service HP at this topic (the details are below).

  Win10 license information has been incorporated into the PC's UEFI firmware when it was built - if it's still there.  But, I was told that it works with the Win10 HP OEM version - which you can NOT download from Microsoft.

  So, if you wanted to go back to Win10, you need to get a HP recovery media to do so.

  What is NOT legal is using the same license for two different versions of the operating system - which is what happens when people move from Win7/8 to Win10 on a PC while retaining the older OS work.

  You said you had right to demotion, then of course, this is the same limitation that you cannot run a HP OEM Win7 OS and and HP OEM Win10 OS on the same PC, using the same license.

  If you purchase your license, you can use this OS in combination with any other OS, without any license issues.

  Customer service contact information...
