• Pavillion M4-1006tx: 10 Windows reset on a laptop pre-installed Windows 8

  Hello

  M4-1006tx Pavilion my laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8. I have upgraded to Windows 10 last July and now I would like to reset this installation of WIndows 10. I discovered that there are 2 methods to do a reset:

  1. in the "settings" inside Windows 10 frame and choose the reset option

  2. thanks to the recovery of the system (F11).

  If I choose to reset through F11, it will install Windows back 8 or 10 Windows instead? As it happens with Windows pre-installed 8.

  And if I choose to reset settings of Windows 10, will it suffer no problem at reset?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  To answer your questions in order:

  1. the option reset under will reinstall Windows 10 - it is impossible to say if you would run in any problems using this method, but it still does not work for everyone.

  2. the option to access the Recovery Manager via F11 at startup would normally be to reinstall the original operating system (Windows 8), but it will not work now as a upgrade to Windows 10 breaks this feature - if you want to reinstall Windows 8, you must use the recovery media (disk or flash drive) that you created when you bought first Notepad - a guide on the reinstallation of Windows 8 of the recovery media can be found on the following link.

  Performing a HP System Recovery - Windows 8

  3. Fortunately, there is also an option at your disposal 3.  As long as the current installation of Windows 10 has activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation of Windows 10 as stated in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

• HP OEM Vista restore disks work after installing Windows 7 RC?

  The title of the post pretty much everything says. I would like to try the Windows 7 RC, but I also wish I could go back to Vista, at some point. It seemed that the restore disks did not have a complete reinstall the last time (it resets windows pretty quickly). If I load Windows 7 RC, I'll be able to use my restore disks from HP to postpone Vista on my system?

  Thank you

  Pete

  If your specific working set of restore disks really depends on if they were created successfully; However, a set of disks of restoration work should certainly work. At least with my CL Pavillion DV-4-1287, Recovery Manager also continued to work after an upgrade to Windows 7, then a reinstallation via clean install without shaped.  Initially, he works with none of the additional steps, in the second, I just need to copy the application on of c:windows.old\program files (x 86) \sminst.  Unless you have reason to do so, while a clean install is the best route, I wouldn't do a format with a clean install, since all your drivers are stored in the Windows.old folder and (dependent on model) the swsetup folder.  Windows 7 can not find the drivers for all devices (five in my case) but on my machine all drivers Vista has of worked - just needed to point the manual driver update function to the appropriate folded equal windows.old or swsetup. BTW, while drivers Vista came with my laptop running Windows 7, the same is not true for some recent updates on the website.

  Oh, one last thing would be to update the BIOS before installing Windows 7 from the Flash of the bios Setup program is not yet certified for Windows 7 (no surprise since it's always a BONE development)...

• Pavilion: Cannot install Windows 10

  My laptop Pavillion not start windows after I made a few changes in the startup configuration. I'm sorry, because I know I just change the boot option enable legacy, but can be some else I did. Ok. somehow I can't start and I post here and never get any help yet.

  Yesterday, I brought new Windows 10 CD and try to install, which also fail. My laptop does not boot from CD, I try to change legacy boot also order. So, I had a friend linux CD and install. Yes, this time, it is linux and install succusfully.

  Someone help me install windows on the laptop? because if means Linux can able to install, windows also able to install right? I think UEFI is the unknown thing blocking me here. Can someone give what exact startup configuration need to install on my notbook. It is new 2 old butterflies .

  In my linux I can see 'WINRE' drive, but cannot open that. It's say the type of error message fixed.

  Help, please.

  Hi @maaply.

  Thank you for your response.

  If you are upgrading from Windows 7 or 8 the Windows key will automatically be picked up and installed. When you activate your Windows 10 it will record the product key.  If you have purchased a Windows 10 disk should have the product key. Did you create recovery media when you first set up your laptop?

  Before using the Windows disc, please try to restore the defaults in the bios and make a recovery. I hope than that you will get to the top and running and the retail disc will be not necessary. (Maybe you can return)

  Here are links to help you in this process.

  HP Notebook PC - restore BIOS

  Computers HP - perform a recovery of the system (Windows 10) HP.

  Once you have restored your laptop back to factory settings, if you have not created a recovery before media, now would be a good time. The recovery media will allow you to reinstall the operating system and the original software if you have a problem with the Recovery Manager.  If you still have a problem, please contact HP support for assistance in the recovery process. You must be under warranty as you said that you bought this a couple of months. Please contact HP to Contact HP Supportassistance.

  Please let me know the results.

• Installed Windows & 32 Bit drivers and USB ports don't DO NOT WORK.

  I bugh a laptop HP Pavillion 14 TS who came to preinstall Windows 8.1 64-bit I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem.  None of my network drivers work and 2 uSB ports where I plug in my mouse and other devices of SB to do more work.

  I did a back up of the established SW leader who has all the HP dvers for my laptop but will not install the network and video of divers. And when I try to install the drives, I get the error message saying that they are not compatible with this version of Windows.

  I loked on the HP site under my model of laptop that s as above, but HP don't do my notebook drivers for Windows 7 32. And I looked on both the Realteck site for network wireless Realteck and Ethernet Realteck drivers but none of them work or install on my OS. Intel video drivers do not work either. So I'm really stuck one I can not return to 8.1 Windows as if that 32-bit Windows 7 works on my laptop but most of my drivers is not compatible with the operating system and I don't want not to install 64-bit Windows, I like 32-bit.

  Drivers that do not work on Windows 7 32-bit are:

  Realteck RTL8188EE 802 - 11 b/gn witeless lan

  Die Ethernet Realteck and

  Intel High definition graphics driver

  That don't work at all under Windows 7 32 bit because they are the only 64-bit drivers.

  So can you please post me a link network bth and drvers of graphics from Intel that works with my laptop. I tried many different drivers Realteck and raphics for Windows 7, but none of them DOES not work on my system. And none of my USB ports are no longer works. So, how can I fix this?

  Hello:

  Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on this model.

  Just use all the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model, except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.

  Your model uses only the Intel HD graphics driver.

  The first pilot, you need to install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot.

• Problem installing Windows 7 64 bit

  Bought a Windows 7 home premium 64-bit, the laptop does not allow installation needs, 32-bit, how can I fix this with out having to go buy another package with 32-bit?

  Laptop is a HP Pavillion DV6 notebook currently loaded with vista.

  I have an another complete windows 7 64-bit office cd that is loaded on my other laptop I install using this cd and just put in the new serial number for the package first home?

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Cannot install windows via bootcamp (Imac Mid 2011)

  Hi, I struggled for the last 2 days and can't seem to find how to create a windows partition and installed it.

  Note: I have a 27 inch mid 2011 Imac and run MacOS Sierra 10.12.

  I have problems with bootcamp especially at the stage of the process USB drive.

  1. I do not understand why Bootcamp assistant 2 display only tasks being #1 download the windows software and #2 install windows 10 when all apple support pages show 3 different tasks available as here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205016http ://

  

  2. I prefer to install windows 7 on my partition, bootcamp, however 'install windows 10', which means that I can't install an older version on my partition? I tried to install windows 7 via a win7 .iso file AND a win10 .iso but none of them works.

  3. whenever I try to install windows, the system do not recognize my USB (it would be with .iso win10 associated drivers or Win7 .iso. + drivers associated) and constantly asking for a disc to be inserted.

  

  My USB has been formatted through disk as MS-DOS (FAT32) volume and all utility used .iso comes from Microsoft. I don't understand why I can't have my. ISO recognized by the system.

  Help please :)

  This is normal and expected behavior. Your 2011 Mac does not support the USB Windows installation. You must use a physical DVD burned ISO. Your Mac does not officially support Windows 10. The ISO files are available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home .

  Documentation on Apple's site shows not all models. Please visit https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/ for an older version (FC5).

• The time machine shaped my result of ssd unable to check my key when installing windows?

  Brief summary:

  My machine: Macbook pro mid 2012
  What I have: Samsung Evo SSD, optical Bay caddy, 8.1 windows bootable dvd with serial
  I wanted to do: install windows in my second internal SSD (optical Bay)
  What went wrong: Enter key I get: "we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media. »

  I suspect that the problem is: I have formatted by mistake the SSD mac front.

  Question: Has been put in shape my SSD the cause of the problem? and if yes how can I do to reset?

  Detailed long version

  I have a macbook mid 2012 retina not pro that I wanted to have the option to be able to boot from a windows and a mac. As a result, I bought a samsung EVO solid state drive for this purpose. I decided to try the drive and put it in instead of the optical drive caddy the day I got it. I was invited with the message that the mac was unable to acknowledge it and follow a few steps online to format. I would find it later when we look at a forum that I should have left the unformatted SSD. However, I tried to install windows on the EVO by placing the optical drive in the computer, put the EVO in the main Bay. I put the windows cd in and followed the installation. Everything was good until I had to put in the windows key. I put in and received the message "we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media. "I double checked to see if it was right by voluntarily entering a wrong key he gave me a message that the key was invalid. Snooping around, I tried to reset the drive by using the offer of advanced tools and I was told that windows did not have access to the partition or something of the sort.

  A format the drive of the source of the error and if so is it possible to return to the factory settings?

  All the advice/help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

  The formatting SSD is not related to the issue with the product key. Windows Setup reformats the SSD in the main Bay NTFS still. If the SSD is less than 2 TB, you can format the MBR with attempts as well as FAT32 format.

  Your model is compatible with the installation from DVD and USB, both. You can also download the ISO of Microsoft W8.1 to the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO to ensure that your DVD is not a several bits (32-bit and 64-bit DVD).

• Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

  I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

  I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
  Here are my system specs:

  
  Presentation of the material:

  Model name: MacBook Pro

  Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

  Processor name: Intel Core i7

  Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 8 GB

  Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

  Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

  Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

  What I tried (from what I remember):

  I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

  If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

  I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

  So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

  If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you

  If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.
