Pavilion dv6-1125el: upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7

I have a laptop (pavilion dv6-1125el) with a license of Windows Vista OEM. Can I upgrade my pc to Windows 7 using the same license?

Thank you

Hello

Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

I'm afraid, NO, you cannot upgrade to Win 7 using the license of Vista.

Why do you want to upgrade to Windows 7, all the problems with Vista?

  • Dv6-1308EL: Pavilion DV6-1308EL - upgrade Windows 10

    Hello all, as I wrote in the topic I like upgrade to Windows 10.

    I got the notification about the free upgrade, but I'm corcerned on drivers and compatibility in general.

    Some time ago I tried to install it and try it for 30 days Windows 8.1. I installed the drivers from windows update in regards to the trackpad driver that the operating system will freeze and restart continuously making it impossible to use.

    My laptop is a Pavilion DV6-1308EL with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).

    I also tried to call the customer service, but the one thing they tell me, is to wait a while to see if will be released drivers.

    I hope that someone has tried to upgrade and can share his experience or if someone from HP can I update level or no advice and tell me if the drivers will never be released.

    Hi, Lorenza:

    It is a peer to peer forum.

    The volunteers here at HP person is allowed to respond to all positions on behalf of the company.

    I can assure you that HP will not release the drivers W10 for this series of models.

    I can make that statement because they do not have all the drivers to W8 or 8.1, so that they free to W10, logical.

    If you have tested W8.1 on your laptop and it did not work properly, it will be the same or worse with W10.

    You can uninstall the driver for the touchpad that installs windows 8.1 and use taking in charge of your laptop and driver page.

    Ignore the touchpad Windows 8.1 update by unchecking it and hide.

  • Pavilion DV6 - 1247CL upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 8. 1

    I want to improve my Pavilion DV6 - 1247 CL Windows Vista at Windows 8. 1. I read on the site of Microsoft support that the only way to upgrade Vista to Windows 8.1 must do a clean install of DVD. Will I have problems with the HP drivers, etc... ? If so, what should I do to avoid these problems?

    Yes there is no direct upgrade path from Vista to Windows 8. 1. I provide a counterpoint here. Your laptop is powerful enough to run Windows 8/8.1 and I bet all the drivers work just very rare possible exceptions that will be easy to fix. I would say what you can do to give up Vista is a good thing. You might want to consider Windows 7 as an alternative, but all that will take place in 7 runs generally 8/8.1.

  • Pavilion dv6: cannot get Windows 10 to work for more than a few days before video fails

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 with two graphics cards (Mobile Intel (r) Graphics and Raedon (TM) HD 6490 M). I installed the new Windows 10 twice and had a lot of success for about three or four days, then the display did not work. I was able both to restore Windows 7 but I want to take advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10. Does anyone know of an incompatibility with my HP Pavilion dv6 and 10 Windows?

    It could be windows update tries to give you updates of adapter bad display every time. You have updated automatically whenever you install windows 10? If so, update the manual and ignore all updates that show the AMD, ATI and INTEL. I had the same problem but not with windows 10, I had it on windows 7 and 8.1 with the same computer, I didn't go to http://support.amd.com/en-us/download . Then select the automatically detect and install download and run it. If the screen turns off right after finished installing your drivers, then it must be the war video card causing problems.

    Maybe it's your video drivers are fighting eachother for domination, when the screen messes up, try to hook up an external monitor, if your computer has an additional port. Let us know.

    After updating my Pavilion dv6 Windows 7 64 - bit of Windows 10 64 - bits, the connection to the computer to update resulted in a machine stuck with white (gray) screen. The upgrade seems complete without any problems. It is only after a reboot with the machine being upgraded and after entering the password that the lock status was encountered.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6b56er and Windows 7 x 64 Professional

    Hello.

    I bought Pavilion dv6-6b56er with pre installed Win7 x 64 Basic, which is not convenient for me, because of its lack of features. So I made a full backup of the hard disks in the Pavilion and removed all software it. Then I installed Win 7 x 64 Pro and facing difficulties regarding the drivers of USB 3.0. Everything else works fine. I know that HP is not responsible for all of the experiences with the software that is not pre-installed, but I have a few questions.

    First of all, should what driver I install to ports USB 3.0 flag? To the download page, I found three different options:

    1 Renesas.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-99763-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&...

    2 NEC.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100224-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en...

    3 fresco.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-102204-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en...

    and

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100237-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en...

    The first two were installed (I mean they CAN be installed), the third - not at all settled. So what is the reason to put it on the download page?

    We're crazy. When you try to install the package with driver NEC, installation master tells you, that it is pilot of Renesas. There therefore no NEC drivers on the download page at all. Why I paid so much attention to it? I installed Everest, so I know what driver is needed. He tells me that I "NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller". Thus, there is no driver available on the download page for NEC chipset and we have NEC chipset inside.

    During this time, Windows Support Center offered some NEC USB 3.0 driver (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp47501-48000/sp47677.exe ).

    So, who's right?

    The second question. If attempts to connect to the USB 3.0 a compound device (e.g. usb hub), then in "devices and printers" appear strange devices with the label "no data". If Renesas driver has been installed then ' USB 2.0 hub "appeared, and so Windows proposed NEC - then «NEC Electronics USB Hub» The County of strange devices depend on the number of devices connected to this unit composed. It's my main problem - these strange devices.

    So I came to a dead end. Any ideas to fix this?

    Any response will be appreciated.

    PS. Sorry for my bad English.

    The Recovery Manager is indeed on the hard drive. The version that is on the dvd discs doesn't have as many options as the original get the version of the partition.

    If you use recovery factory reset it will install all the original drivers and also recreate the recovery partitions. After finishing of the recover and have restarted the PC, you should be able to use the F11 key to access the hard disk again.

    You will need to reinstall the UEFI utility using the download from the section web software support and drivers under utility-tools. Given the usefulness of UEFI hard disk is a good thing.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4180 using Windows 7.  I bought a Windows 8 of Microsoft and the Bill says:

    "Earn 8 32-bit/64-bit English VUP DVD."

    4. If a dialog box appears, click Run to start the installation
    5 follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation of Windows 8.1 "

    Before thiis upgrade, is there advice that I should follow to avoid an honest mistake?  For example, losing a feature because of the upgrade?

    Very practical advice.  Device Manager to see 'pilot' listed, or should I navigate on the control panel?

    Thank you.

    You can do this and see if there are drivers that manufacturing has to W8 for that specific material. But you should check the site driver from HP for your P/N and see whether they have or W8 drivers list. Don't forget the older laptop after 2012, the chances of HP with W8 drivers will be slim to none since they do not include support for older hardware.
