Pavilion 500 - c60: product key

If I chose to load Windows 7 Home OS on the 8.1 that sits on the newly purchased Pavilion 500 - c60 will be I had problems? AND if I choose to RELOAD 8.1 on the computer in the future how do I get the product key if as you say his anchored in the bios?

Thanks for your replies. My reason for decommissioning is a requirement with my Autocad Architecture 2012 which does not work on windows 8.1. Stupid me! I should have looked into this before buying the computer. But I like the computer because it is a 64 bit with 8 GB of memory and I love the W8.1 too. Very compatible with my ph sound cell phone android. So until I can afford to upgrade my Autocad I'm stuck with Win7.

  • Pavilion 500 - C60: new office reads, "ERROR: no boot disk was detected or the disc has failed" at startup.

    Just bought Pavilion 500 - C60, running Windows 8.1 64-bit and am doing everything on old HP running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2. Has not gone smoothly from one thing to another, but I think everything comes together. A couple of days, began to receive the error message at startup or, if I COULD do so that it starts would go for awhile and then would get an ERROR message, requiring restart. Usually after obtaining the error message several times, the computer would then initialize. Tonight, I couldn't override the error message for anything! When you press power button / stop, I hear (HD) running for a few seconds, everything is silent, and then the error message appears on the gray screen dark in white letters, BACK very and sinister looking! Any suggestions? Had the computer about two months and it has not been easy.

    Not good!  Check all the connectors and the hard drive to make sure that they are correctly wired in place. Make sure that your cable is not reversed.

    Contact the seller if still under warranty for repair.  This could be the hard drive or motherboard and the problem lies the only diagnosis from a repair facility.

  • CARD READER USB FOR DESKTOP HP PAVILION 500 - C60?

    I have a new 500 - C60 HP Pavilion desktop computer, but the front card reader does not accept the largest flash Compact Flash (CF) card.  I have an old USB multi-card with four different card slots, which accepts the card see  Would this setting work satisfactorly?

    Thank you

    Hello @shamrock838,

    I understand that your desktop HP Pavilion 500 - c60 PC does not support the biggest Compact Flash Memory Card and you are curious as to whether or not you can install an USB multicard Reader which accepts the memory card see First of all, you have reason 7 - in1 media card reader did it installed does not supported CF memory card, but it supports the following cards:

    • Digital safe™ (SD)
    • Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)
    • SDXC
    • Memory Stick
    • Memory Stick Select
    • Memory Stick PRO
    • Memory Stick MagicGate

    I don't see why you can't connect the 4 - in1 USB multicard reader you have. Until the operating system detects and installs, you should be fine.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Pavilion 500 C60: Free disk space D

    I have a new Pavilion 500 C60, and I am concerned about the D drive, which has a picture of "recovery."  The space used is 13.6 GB and free space is 1.94 GB. My 'hard drive' C has 8 GB.  Obviously, I'm not a computer prodigy, but I think that the D drive can fill up... and then what?  Please reassure me or tell me what I need to do.  Thank you!!

    The recovery Partition is to house recovery files to restore the PC to "new factory" - the same as it was when he arrived.  The reader is "almost complete" because it's the plan.  D: drive should not be used for anything else.   It is not an error and does not affect the use of the c: drive.

  • HP pavilion dv4 lost product key

    I have hp pavilion dv4-2118tx inslalled with windows 7 Home premium original...
    one day... I got in big trouble...
    until I decided to install a retail windows 7... Unfortunately the product key from the back side was broken... I can't read it over, I call hp customer care asking for this problem of licency back on my windows, but they have no idea about my problem...
    now... my laptop had a windows 7 ultimate installed, but not the original...

    is there a solution to get microsoft windows 7 licency?

    The only way I know to retrieve the product key is when the operating system is still working.  During the installation of a retail Windows 7, you must have the license key ready fpr where the BONE is the application.

    If you do a USB thumbdrive media recovery or recovery disks, now would be a good time to use it.

    Normally, when you use a recovery disk on the laptop, it was created, the Recovery Manager installs the product key for the operating system on its own.

    If you do not have a recovery media then you choice will have to buy a HP recovery disk or a HP Partner or buy a DVD of Windows 7 installation with license key.

    Best regards

  • Pavilion Notebook: Lost product key

    I lost my product key for Windows 8.  I wanted to upgrade to 10 windows, but the internet does not work on it.  So I went to ubuntu 14.10.  I do not have ubuntu as much as Windows 8/7, because I think that Windows 8/7 is faster and easier to use.  The steam is really slow, if I want the game garry's mod, it will crash if I do certain things. :/

    There are all kinds of bugs when I run things with ubuntu.  I want to save windows 8, and I want it to be quick like the old days.  Because garry mod is REALLY fun, and now it goes down for some reason any. :/

    Help someone. : c

    You don't mention if your computer comes with Win 8 is installed.  If it was the case the product key is integrated into the BIOS.  There is no way to recover it without third party software.

  • Pavilion 13-a010dx: product key

    I just bought a HP laptop with 8.1 Windows preinstalled. I have however no disc or product key. Could you please tell me if I need to activate Windows or how I would manage if I ever needed again to install windows 8.1 in the future without disc or the key.

    Hello

    You should find an application on your laptop called Recovery Media Creator - this will allow you to create your own installation media 1 set (on disk or a usb flash drive).  See link below for more details on how to do this.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-envy-X2-11/5296226/model/5336701/document/c03481733

    The product key used to activate Windows 8 is stored encrypted in the bios chip and will automatically be read if you use your recovery media to reinstall Windows.

    Kind regards

  • Pavilion P6-2133: Product key does not work?

    I tried to update my system Windows 10 the past two days, and the downloads completely update but fails to install.

    I tried to download the Microsoft Media creation tool and created a USB bootable for upgrad go, but this requires a product key. When I enter the product key on the side of my Tower, that he told me that this key does not work.

    No idea why my product key appears to be invalid and what I can do about it? I plug this new system and I am the sole owner, and its the same running a copy of Windows 7 that is come preinstalled the day I bought it.

    I finally solved the problem by using the iso instead of the USB. I downloaded the iso on my D drive and mounted with Daemon tools and launched the installer from there, he had my key loan but he never asked a.

    I had to use the same method on my tablet, but it was 8.1 that has the ability to mount an iso natively, so I put the iso on my SD card and it mounted from there. However, 8 + pcs generally have the key integrated on the motherboard.

    I was using the latest version of the multimedia tool, but no matter what he asked for a key.

  • HP Pavilion 500 - C60: HP Pavilion 500 - C60 does not recognize the container pictures xD

    My PC has a slot with an image suggesting an SD card (showing the cut upper right corner). However, the number of internal contacts seems to be two times more than necessary by an SD card. Result: no SD card fits into the slot, but a XD card seems to have the exact number of the required connectors by an XD card. And indeed the xD fits perfectly into the slot.

    So far so good.

    Problem is that the Windows 8.1 does not recognize the card. I searched using Google but couldn't find a solution.

    Can anyone help?

    I ended up buying a Vivitar 5 in 1 card reader that plugs into a USB 2.0 and works fine all bypassing the hp pavilion integrated card reader. This allows me to read my old card xD, but there is a work-around, not a real solution. I rest my case.
