Pre-installed backup Windows 8 OS

Hello world. First of all sorry for the long question, but it is very important for me.

I want Hp dv6 laptop 7352sr. I need to wipe everything on the internal HARD disk and install Ubuntu.  It came with 8 windows pre installed. So I need to save all partitions (UEFI, main "C", small partitions created automatically, partition partition EFI encyripted and etc.) of the operating system. I didn't wan't to the current operating system of risk, because it is under license of Windows 8 and when I bought my laptop is Windows 8 modified by HP. If after a while, I go back to Windows, then it will be a regular Windows, not changed. I'll have the Windows I have to first (all partitions).

I searched for this topic, but in some cases there are a lot of problems, because he has UEFI. I've tried Acronis backup, but it did not work (when I boot on DVD there graphic problem).

I have the DVD of backup. If I install Windows 8 after awhile and restore "DVD", is that it will be the same windows when I bought my laptop (with all partitions).

So how I can clear all and no shortage of current operating system?

PS: I didn't wan't to dual boot and I know that there may be some problems with Ubuntu driver.

farid775,

You go to the HP Recovery Manager and create recovery discs? If so, what are the disks that are going to reinstall Windows completely.

Watch this video to see if it's what you did.

IF you have not created the recovery still directed by the video disks, you can do it now

OR

create a recovery USB (as erico has pointed out).

If you have already created, the recovery manager not allows you to create another set.

    original title: Windows Vista to Windows XP?

    Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

    No, you can't downgrade. But you can probably * clean install * Windows XP.

    I say "probably" because there is a potential problem with drivers XP being available for all hardware. If the computer is a laptop, this risk is greater. So check with the manufacturer or on their web site to make sure that all the drivers you need do not exist for XP.

    @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

    You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

  • Is it possible to change Vista pre-installed to Windows XP?

    Hello

    I recently bought SATLTE TOSHIBA L30-105. It came with a preinstalled Vista. I don't like all Vista and I would like to install Windows XP. Is there a way I can get a CD of Windows XP for Toshiba to replace Vista?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It seems that you are a lucky man who has had the laptop with the Vista OEM operating system ;)

    Each laptop comes with an operating system.
    Some devices come with XP and Vista. It depands on the model of laptop.

    Unfortunately, you will not get any different operating system from Toshiba.
    If you want to install Windows XP or another operating system on your laptop, you will need to purchase an original Microsoft System.

    I think that sooner or later you will find the Toshiba XP drivers on the Toshiba driver page.

    How to recover my product key of windows 8, I installed the windows 10 techniques view without taking backup I need to go back to my windows 8 pls someone help

    Hi Carmen,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    I understand that you had not taken any prior backup upgrade to Windows 10 Technical Preview and need product key to retrieve Windows 8.

    So, first of all, I suggest you to check the product key in email messages when you purchased the license to the product for Windows 8. Once you get the product key, you can create a Windows 8 ISO and reinstall using this product key. See the following article:

    To create installation media Windows 8.1

    However, if you had bought the system pre-installed with Windows 8. Then, you may need to contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) system for Windows 8 discs to restore the older operating system.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know the results for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • Blue screen with the installation of new windows on that already pre-installed

    Hello everyone, I'm sorry if this has already been addressed, and I wonder about the same thing. I found a few messages about my problem, but it did not totally help, so...

    I bought an M70 in Germany, he has Win XP it already installed, but I wanted to install my Windows with a different language. When I start the computer from the disk, there are first this blue screen saying that it is responsible for many drivers, etc.. Then, it suddenly stops when he finished to load all the stuff. There is only a cursor in the top left corner (the one in DOS mode) and nothing happens. What could be a problem?

    Is there some kind of blockade on the hard drive that prevent me from formatting the partition and install another system? My windows doesn't include SP2 on cd, usually I install it later.

    I saw at least a similar post, someone suggested to download on the site section to find information of navigation, but I failed in doing that. Can someone help me? I would be extremely grateful for any information!

    Mike

    Hello Mike

    I put t really know if included SP2 has something to do with it, but the fact is that the unit is pre-installed with Windows XP Home edition which include SP2. I think that once I read that a guy has to try something similar and included SP2 installation successfully.

    If you can get a CD of Windows XP SP2 home edition installations (any language just to test) Please try to be sure if the problem is occurring because of this. Also, make sure that there is no external device is connected so that the facilities of the process runs.

    Bye and good luck!
