• Problem on HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with Windows 8 Pro x 64 on video card

  Good evening

  I just finished installing Windows 8 x 64 Win7 Pro, I could find all the drivers for my laptop, but I have problems with the video card settings.

  My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with two graphics cards, one managed by the processor, because it seems to do, and the other is normally installed on the PC.

  The cards are read by Windows as:

  Unit 1: Intel HD Graphics 3000
  Unit 2: AMD Radeon HD 6700 m Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20)

  the problem lies in the fact that the device must be a supported per second, or disabled, as it will not be. AMD video card must be set to 1 and the intel 2. If I go to the "Device Manager" to disable the card intel Windows, it works as if he was absent any video card, also installed driver is not correct because the card is an AMD Radeon HD7690M XT, the problem is that even if I uninstall this driver then always comes back. I also tried to download AMD Catalyst in the latest version, but can't find the card. It's as if the windows are imposed only use the unit 1, which, however, I can not disable the BIOS, because there is no voice. I note that Windows 7 had no problem.

  I ask you to help me because I need the video card for my work performance.

• Install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 with win7 dual boot and windows 8

  I can install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 buth with dual boot: win7 and windows 8?

  Installing Windows 7 on your HP ENVY computer Notebook dv7-7234nr is not supported by HP. In addition, no Windows 7 driver is listed on HP Software and Driver Downloads page for your computer.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 and it will support the installation of Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not support 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.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the ' settings of BIOS ' settings below page;

  

  Then, start Windows 8 and run the console 'disk management '. Using "Shrink Volume", reducing the size of the "C:" partition about half of its original size. Name of the partition "C:" to something like "Windows 8". Now, start the computer from the Windows 7 DVD, making sure to select "UEFI - internal CD/DVD" or "UEFI - ATAPI CD/DVD ' and not ' Legacy - CD/DVD internal."  (I recommend using a disc of Windows 7 SP1latest drivers have been included in this topic. The use of the SP1 disc usually resolves most disk hard AF and other issues. )

  Install Windows 7 on the partition without label that was established earlier when you shrunk the partition "C:". Continue to install WIndows 7 by / responding to all the guests. Once you download Windows 7 on your computer, we have to track down the compatible drivers for it. Please list all the "hardware ID" for unknown or missing devices.

  Hello

  Please help me find the driver for BCM20702A0 for hp pavilion dv7-4285dx for windows 7.

  I'm going to each site, trying to find a driver for BCM20702A0 because I tried to install a 4 (badge) bluetooth dongle on my laptop but it says 'impossible to update software' when I try to run the installer from the manufacturer's website. Then, I go to devices and printers and try to solve the problem with the bluetooth dongle and it says "BCM20702A0 is not a driver" I tried to download broadcom and updated centrino HP network driver for my laptop page up-to-date, but that does not solve the problem. All these other drivers that I find are for other computers laptops and even still, I can't navigate to links posted on this site, it brings me right back to the search page.

  Thank you

  I do not know what your model wireless card model, has do this...

  Go to Device Manager.

  There should be a category showing other devices .

  Less than one catergory other devices should be a list of devices that need drivers.

  They will have little things! marks next to them.

  The wireless network card is the device below the category other devices like a network controller.

   

  Click the network controller device, and it will open a window with tabs at the top of the window.

  Click the Details tab.

  On the Details tab, you will see a drop-down list of property.  It will be a default Description of the appliance.

  On this list and select the second item which is the hardware ID

  Now you should see 4 lines or more characters and the top row begins with PCI\VEN.

  After this first string.

  That tells the user the manufacturer and the type of device that it is.

  So I can post the driver for the wireless card I think you need.

• Why many DELL notebooks still come with Windows 7?

  Hello

  I think to buy a DELL, probably the series Inspiron laptop.

  I see a lot of DELL notebooks still come with Windows 7 and it's even a filter criterion when you browse laptops at DELL.com

  There is 'Windows 7' and 'Windows 8 ' filters.

  DELL is not confident in Windows 8 or what is the reason?

  Also, if I buy a laptop today, would you advise me to choose Windows 7 Windows 8 and reasoning why?

  Thank you.

  Windows 8 has no XP mode and does not have a start menu and is not compatible with many other things. So no I don't see things at my disposal at any time.

• HP Pavilion dv7 3180SG - drivers Windows XP.

  Hi all

  I have some difficulty to install the drivers for this laptop.
  I have a mechanical arm via the USB port, who informed me the (British) constructor that works only on Windows XP.
  I just have this laptop here, really need to use and to install Windows XP, update the SATA via Nlite drivers found here in this forum.
  I find just the network driver, which for me was a relief, just that there are still many riders and not sure of compatibility with Windows XP 3180SG.
  Could you help me, as has been done in the same post? http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-e-g-Windows-8-and-software/HP-Pavilion-dv7-1...

• HP Pavilion DV7-4150: 10 Windows update fails on HP Pavilion DV7-4150

  Hello

  10 Windows Update crashes after 87%, so I have to turn off the laptop and the system becomes always restored to Windows 7.

  Is there someone who has improved the Pavilion DV7-4150 to 10 Windows? How?

  I installed all the updates with the HP Support Assistant HP and all Windows 7 updates I can get. I have the most recent BIOS F.29, but also the BIOS F.12 F.13 and F.23 do not work with Windows 10.

  In my view, the problem is the old BIOS HP. Is it a BIOS compatible for HP Pavilion DV7-4150 get worked with Windows 10?

  Please HP, is a big job for you, please deliver us a new BIOS for Windows 10 job!

  Thank you, always HP - Fan.

  Allways_HP_Fan

  Sorry, but HP has shown no sign that it grows some BIOS updates for older machines.  I have a HP DV6 and the update in 2011.

  I came across similar problems with my HP DV6 - it would always block partially through the update, and then I do a factory reset to get it working again.

  What DOES not work for me has been an own-made from a USB key, created installation using the latest version of Win10 obtained by using the tool of creation of MS Media: 10 Windows Installer by using the tool of creation of media - Windows help

  However, BEFORE that, be sure to read this thread on greating the genuineticket file, because you will need to activate Win10 after installation: Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

  Good luck

• Problems with HP laptop Pavilion dv7-5004tx with the sound and video is this laptop being recalled?

  Hello I desperately need help.

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv7-5004tx, which is about a month.

  It's a really highy specced machine, 8 GB mem 1 GB card video etc.

  The problem is that when it video or audio playe he stutter along. I sent to hp about this problem and they do not come back to me? It is currently running windows 7 64 bit home edition.

  The model number does not exist when I search the site of HP?

  I noticed on some laptop computer review sites that it was be recalled, but it was the only information I could get. No specefics.

  I would really appreciate help from anyone out there? It seems as if HP tries to hidden it? There is no information about this laptop on any one of these sites (that I could find) and model number doesent exist on their site either.

  I think I have found a solution to my stuttering audio and video playback. I disabled the HP 3d drivegaurd software and so far it seems fine. After a search in any of the HP forums support I discovered a number of people have had similar problems with various portable computers HP.

  The solution seems to be to disable the car care software? HP aware of this and they do nothing to solve the problems with the drivegaurd software?

• the upgrade of my hard drive on my pavilion dv7 4280us.with SSD

  Upgrade to ssd drive using my recovery disc to install windows 7 it to load any disc 5 restarts to the start SCREEN of the HP LOGO screen and it doesn't recognize the OCZ VERTEX 4 DRIVE I install.

  My PC IS Pavilion dv7 4280us.

  Hello:

  At less than your SSD is the same size or larger than the mechanical drive, that you have replaced, the recovery disks will more than likely working.

  An alternative to the installation of W7 (only if you can read the full product key 25 character), is to do this:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Can I replace my HP Pavilion dv7-6b11ev with blacklit a keyboard?

  Hello... I have hp pavilion dv7 6b11ev and I wonder if I can replace the keyboard of my laptop to a blacklit.
  If so, that one is you favorite?

  eBay?

  or another store...

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is a very delicate issue because on some models, their motherboards have places to plug in the power supply for the keyboards, but MANY models do not have. The only thing we can check: get the motherboard part number and find out

  b if it had taken light for keyboard, you can replace the keyboard

  b otherwise, you need to replace the keyboard and the whole motherboard.

  How to check: open the machine (risky) or use the following link to get the part #:

• Pavilion dv7: update BIOS windows 10

  Hello

  My computer is really noisy and breaks down a lot, I discovered online that this could be resolved by updating the BIOS. My version is F.02 03/10/2011. But the problem is that my computer is too old for the HP site to provide me with updates compatible with Windows 10 drivers. How can I update my BIOS?

  Thank you

  Thank you for your answer, I'll try to clean the fan in this way.
  With respect to the update of the BIOS, I chose a version for my computer and Windows 7 that I used before.

• HP PAVILION DV7-6199US and WINDOWS 8

  I have no errors, but to be honest, I have no software to install HP with Windows 8. I need my drivers for my switchable graphics as well as all my other components. HP, please, tell me that you will be kind enough to provide these things for my nice HP computer. Thank you.

  Hey guys,.
  
  At the moment Windows 8 pilots are not officially supported for these laptops.
  
  I'm sure they test the books right now, and if everything fades there should be no problem with them releasing the pilots.
  
  Please bare with them while they find a way to provide you with the drivers.

• Pavilion dv7-7205tx envy windows 8 wireless connectivity

  A first tried the sticky post and when trying to update the drivers available via this link, windows 8 still sees the current drivers as the most up-to-date.

  There is no info on this laptop on HP site so I can't update all the drivers myself right now, so if someone can tell me the right drivers who can fix a problem with the Atheros QCA9565 wireless I would appreciate it.

  Using Windows 8, fine internet connection via ethernet to Dlink Di526 (oldschool Yes..)

  2 other pc Windows 7 have thin connection to the wireless router

  Phone selects picks up wireless and connects very well

  Try wireless on HP and it detects the network but can connect only with limited connectivity, no internet.

  Driver for Atheros is 10.0.0.77 dated dated 15/08/2012, and I tried the 10.0.0.212 in date driver dated 28/09/2012 with the same result.

  I think that its a problem with the Atheros with Windows 8 compatibility.

  Anyone else has a similar problem?

  Have you tried the driver found here to your support portal for portable computers on the web page of drivers and applications?

  The driver is for Windows 8 (32 & 64-bit)
