  I just branch a refurbished HP 15-AB044SA comes with preinstalled Windows 8.1. I'm not a fan of the operating system and want to downgrade to windows 7. Could you please guide me to the decommissioning?

  And I have the same funcitionality in the laptop running Windows 7 as Windows 8.1? Is it possible to keep the same license OS currently on the laptop?

  Thanks in advance,

  If the reason why you don't like Win8x is the lack of a desktop and start menu, consider downloading and installing ClassicShell.  This will give the look-and-feel of Win7 back - and it's FREE!

  As for Win7, there are drivers HP to Win7 for your PC: http://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771366/model/8255011

  If this page does not display Win7 when you open it, then click on edit and select Windows 7 from the menu drop down.

  As for the feature, Yes, you will have the same functionality in Win7 you have in Win8x - just a different user interface.

  There is no 'path of decommissioning' to Win7. Instead, you'd have to do is to boot from Win7 installation media and install it on top of Win8.  This means that you will lose all existing applications, the parameters and the data of the user in the process.

  NO, we do not keep or use the same license.  Your PC came with HP OEM Win8 preinstalled, and that's what the license is for.  To install Win7, you will need to buy it and then activate it by using the product key that you receive with the purchase.  You can't buy this at HP, because he's not selling copies of Win7.

  But what you CAN do is to check with the HP customer service and see if they will sell you HP to Win7 for your PC recovery media.  It would cost much less go out and buy a copy of Win7 retail.

  See if the W8.1 driver works...

  If it installs automatically, great.

  If this isn't the case, close any windows error.

  Go to Device Manager and click the controller of encryption/decryption PCI needing drivers.

  Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.  Select her browse my computer for driver software method and find the folder of the driver that was created when you ran the file.

  This file will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp66899.

  Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and I hope that the driver will be installed.

  This driver contains the hardware ID for the device you are looking for.  I don't know if it will work with W7 or not...

• HP PAVILION 15-ab115la: Pavilion 15-ab115la: Downgrade Windows 10

  Hello

  Last week, I bought a new HP Pavilion, it included 10 windows.

  I used to work with Windows 7 and I'would like to downgrade 10 Windows to Windows 7, is it possible? y at - it a disvantages?

  Is useful to mention that I have a legal key for Windows 7.

  Additional, I know that the Windows 10 key is "embedded" in the BIOS, so if I downgrade to Windows 7, then return to Windows 10, the value of the key will not be required because it's inside the BIOS?

  Or should I get the value with a tool?

  Thank you

  I used to work with Windows 7 and I'would like to downgrade 10 Windows to Windows 7, is it possible? y at - it a disvantages?

  You're not really downgrading, because Microsoft "Downgrade rights" apply only to Windows Pro/Business. You simply install another version of Windows on your computer. Yes, it's possible! Yes, there are drawbacks... like the lack of support of the HP drivers

  Is useful to mention that I have a legal key for Windows 7.

  You will need to use a key of unused valid PID and COA legally install Windows 7 on your new PC.

  Additional, I know that the Windows 10 key is "embedded" in the BIOS, so if I downgrade to Windows 7, then return to Windows 10, the value of the key will not be required because it's inside the BIOS? Or should I get the value with a tool?

  Using the HP recovery media you create before changing anything on the computer... you should have no problem to return the computer to a factory State, if you wish.

• Pavilion laptop laptop 15-ab158nb: downgrade from windows 10 for windows 7

  Hello, I bought a laptop for computer laptop 15-ab158nb with 10 windows installed

  I like windows7 more (I'm used to) and you want to downgrade to windows 7

  I am looking for the hp support site and they only drivers for windows 10

  -that someone tried this with success

  Thank you

  Rudi

  Before you change or change anything, please create your personal HP recovery media.

  You'll need a new copy of Windows 7 64-bit with a Microsoft COA and a figure of 25 unused/valid key PID from Microsoft. Windows 7 DVD may not work properly on UEFI-based systems, this is why you may need to create a FAT32 UEFI USB Windows 7 for Windows 7 installation key to install correctly.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer may ask that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  After installing Windows 7, you will need to install any drivers necessary before being fully functional. Most of the Windows 7 drivers on the page of software and the driver HP Pavilion Notebook-15z ab000 CTO - should work on your computer. Please do not use any BIOS or Firmware from this page.

  Thanks for posting (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all the remaining of the missing and/or unknown devices, as shown in the example below, and we can direct you to the correct drivers.

• Network of HP Pavilion G6-2244NR, usb, wireless problems after downgrade to Windows 7

  HP Pavilion G6-2244NR network problems.  Okay, so I have a G6-2244NR I had to downgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64 (SP1), due to software compatibility issues.  Install was initially conducted on UEFI, GPT, wiped 8 and started from scratch with Legacy support MBR.  Installation went perfectly well.  However, I start in 7 and I get the network icon showing a red X.  I then go into Manager and note that there is no network listed devices.  Instead, I have 8 devices listed under "Other devices" with yellow exclamations by each of them.  This includes the Bluetooth controller, the network, a PCI device controller, Ethernet controller, SM Bus controller, two USB controllers and an "unknown device".  Bluetooth ID is ven_1814 & dev 3298, Ethernet ID PCI\VEN_10EC & DEV_8136 and so on.  I downloaded the drivers on the wazoo.  I think that I have updated the chipset but know not so straight updates chipset (catalyst 12.6).  Still no luck.  Whenever I have try and install what I think are good drivers I get the error "device works not ' on the LAN card.  Can anyone help?

• I have a Pavilion 15 t b1000 with a intel 13chipset downgrade to windows 7

  I have a Pavillion b1000 15 t with a intel 13chipset and the need for this downgrade from Windows 8 to 7 is a set of guidelines for this computer to downgrade

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.

  The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto', if this option is available.

  

  In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

  

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  From the top...

  Download f6flpy-x 64.zip, extract the files/folders and place it on a USB Flash drive.

  (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

  3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

  4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

  5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

  (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

  (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

  (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

  (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

  11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

  (12) you may need to provide Intel SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...  Insert the USB Flash drive with drivers Intel SATA\RAID previously extracted.

  (13) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

  Many 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the HP ENVY 15 t-j100 CTO Notebook PC drivers of Quad Edition page should work on your computer (DO NOT use any BIOS or FIRMWARE downloads). Please post (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" all missing and/or unknown devices as shown in the example below, and we can direct you to the correct drivers.

• Can I downgrade to Windows 7 from Windows 8.1 on my desktop computer Pavilion 500-368na

  As I'm not impressed by Windows 8.1 on my brand new, aged 1 week, Desktop, I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade to Windows 7. My pc would be used mainly as office at home with absolutely no interest in the games. Advice and instructions would be appreciated, although I have been informed that it is a complicated procedure. Is this something that should be done by a pc engineer?

  You are right in your assumption that the guarantee may be cancelled.

  Overview of Windows 9 is expected at the end of the month and we are all eager to see more of what she's on about.  Leak screenshots and which are not pure speculation as Microsoft kept a tight lid on this version.  It's perhaps the last full blown, with what they come out.  It could very well become a subscription service similar to what they are currently doing with Office 365 updated.  Other software companies seem to go the same route.

  As I said in my post, you can save 8 looks like Win 7.  There is a free ebook of Dell, Windows 8 for Dummies, you can download from this site, if you are interested.

  https://marketing.Dell.com/eBook-Windows-8

  You now have the tools to decide what is best for you, good luck.
