Pavilion 15 t: change of OS

Hi all

I bought the computer laptop 15-p214na Pavilion, which comes with the Windows 8.1 pre-installed. However, I would like to install Windows 7 on it for now. And the question is: will I be able to install Windows 8.1 again after that? I mean because it is preinstalled (OEM), I don't have a picture, and did I not a license key for Win8.1. Should I pick up this registry key before installing Windows 7? Or should I make a partition recovery from Windows 8, before installing Windows 7?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello

There should be a 'Recovery Media Creator' application on your laptop that allows you to create 1 set of recovery media (whether on disc or flash drive)-this media will be able to reinstall the original OS (Windows 8.1) whenever you want, if you have installed another OS or even if you have to replace the HARD drive.

A guide on creating recovery media can be found on the following link.

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s3505f - change of graphics card?

    Hi, I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3505f, FJ465AA product number.

    I would like to know if it is possible to change the video card in this computer?  I wanted to install a HDMI graphics card so I would be able to plug my computer directly on my HD TV.  Does anyone know if this is possible in this model of computer?  I looked here and there on the net and just could not find an answer for this model.

    Thank you

    The s3505f has only a power of 160 watts.  I don't know of any video card that will run with a 160 Watt power supply.  Slimlines PCs were not designed to be upgraded.

    The most recent model slimlines have slightly greater power and low-power, low-profile video cards are available.

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s5380sc: change of UEFI BIOS

    Hello

    I have a s5380sc HP Pavilion 4 years that I consider the upgrade with an SSD.

    I wonder if the hardware (motherboard and chipset!) will support UEFI to faster startup.

    I don't know what are the HW requirements it to actually support UEFI and win 8.x or win 10. ?

    Hello

    Hybrid boot or hibernation modes might be interesting to try.  You should see an improvement. SSD can make a big difference in the performance of the PC.

    Do a google search on the boot to BIOS UEFI Boot verses.

  • HP Pavilion G6 (1207sg): change the CPU will also apply its iGPU in the system?

    Hello

    I have a laptop HP G6 and want to upgrade his CPU (i3 - 2330 m with HD 3000 iGPU) in an i3 - 3110 m with HD 4000. I did check the socket (rPGA988B) and it doesn't seem to be compatible.

    This change will also properly implant the new iGPU, or are there other factors that I might have to keep in mind?

    Thanks in advance!

    The factor that you should keep in mind is the motherboard chipset and repair of HP:

    List of cpu to the chipset HM65

    Your repair manuals

    No source supported the idea that you can install a processor i3 - 3110M. It won't work if you try it. The video is part of the limiting factors that prevent your upgrade to generation processors 3rd with HD4000 video. The video material is in the processor and also on the motherboard and they have to work together.

    You don't have the choice of some top processors, but they are all 2d gen not 3rd gen and will have video HD3000 I can understand why you want to update, but just, it is not going to happen. If you think that you cannot run Windows 10 on this machine is not necessarily the case. Many sites say HD3000 unsupported, but if you look around on google a bit you will find workarounds.

  • HP pavilion sleekbook 14 change of keyboard.

    Hi guys

    I bought this laptop and I love it, but I don't like not this is the keyboard, it's a very good feeling cheap. I would change it. fact this model corresponds to jealousy or other model? It is available to have backlight on it?

    If I change keyboard, I've lost my warranty?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey there,

    I'm not 100% positive, but from the looks of the two keyboards, this is neither going to be possible. They seem to be different style keyboards. I have a craving for 14 with a backlight keyboard, and the keyboard is actually the entire top piece. The keys are not separated.

    I hope this helps!
