• Problem reinstalling Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

  I've recently updated to Win 7 Ultimate to win 10 Pro. I don't like like Win 10 and want to return to Win 7 Ultimate. However, the rollback feature Win 10 says that the files for Win7 is not found. I have inserted my official Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS dvd to reinstall manually, selected my C drive and started the reappattage. It stops and a message that "the/a driver required is not found." The installation cannot continue. »

  I tried to install it on a secondary drive but got the same message.

  I've never had this message when I have already installed and reinstalled Win 7 from this disk.

  Help, please! Thank you!

  I'm going to wipe my drive and try again. What is the url for Digital River, in case I need to download a copy? I have my MSoft product identification number for the disk.

  I have also several external drives connected to my PC via the USB port. Would possibly be the cause of the problem?

  Disconnect non-essential devices can improve the success of the installation program.

  Use of Digital River to be an option available for download of real reinstall media. It no longer exists, you must use the Microsoft software download page.

• Envy h8: after Windows 10 reset impossible to reinstall win tv software

  I upgraded to windows 10 8.1 all on time and everything seemed fine. Then last week I found that several functions do not work on the PC. As Start button, Windows Store, some of the apps etc etc. Is not too worried but thought I'd reset after having read about it on the Microsoft Web site. Followed the instructions and kept my files but when the PC has finiished I found that all who have been with the PC or software I had installed had disappeared.

  I've always had the installation disks for the software I have installed, but couldn't know how resinstall the software preinstalled, when I bought the PC. Most of it I don't mind, but I would really like to reinstall Win Tv7.

  I remember vaguely seeing awhile back on the resettlement of the recovery partition software but can't seem to do it now and the HP website has only an update for Win TV for windows 8.

  Anyone got any ideas please?

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about the problems with Win TV and wanted to help - but we need more information.

  We need the details of your PC product number.  There should be a sticker with this information on the case.

  There is more than one model of your laptop, and we need the specific model number to search for information on this subject.

  I personally found the updates of Win10 to be a mixed bag - a work very well, plus have problems, some fail miserably!

  The only way to reinstall the HP software that is preinstalled on the PC is to use something known as HP recovery media.  It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

  If you are interested in this approach, then let me know - and I'll see if the recovery media is available by using the product number of details of your PC.

  As for versions of the software, unless the PC is delivered with Win10 preinstalled HP, even if there is a version Win10 of the HP software, he has no way to download and install it.  So, you would have the same problem.

  We can proceed once you provide the information.
  
  Thank you

• DM4-2165dx: good day. I want to reinstall win 7, the slower after 5 years.

  I would like to reinstall win 7 64 bit on my pavilion laptop, without losing my license key.

  [Personal information deleted] is the serial number of my laptop.

  I bought the laptop in us, 14/01/2012, Charleston and I still have the original receipt on me. I live in Hungary.

  I want to get the right to reinstall the way for my win 7 Home premium oa.

  I contacted directly to microsoft technical support and they sent me this House Home premium English sp1 x 64 iso and me says to contact HP, because I have to make sure that Hp supports the reinstall, I need to know, how many times can I reinstall my OS, because it may be limited by HP.

  I also have a plan to replace my hard drive soon, to avoid the old hdd to cause problems of its natural damping.

  More information: I couldn't save the laptop, I bought a year before the years chooseable available on the page of the commercial register,

  so

  I could not contact with chat support,

  That is why I take the issue here.

  I could not redeem the media Support HP - order software support and pilot here, that address different purchase and delivery can be a problem, I think.

  That I bought the laptop in the United States, but live in Hungary, I do not want to have problems with product registration home address, address of purchase and etc...

  It would be great to download the iso right from a link, if I was able to reinstall the operating system, without waiting for the drive.

  Or if the iso of windows provided by windows 7 is good, and I will not lose my windows license, it is also a good option.

  Or anything else that can do the reinstall on the right track.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome aboard!

  I just checked and it works - you can purchase media recovery using the following URL from here > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dm4-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5145680/model/5171100

  Price is 25 USD - 3 DVDs but the questions is that the system provides only U.S. addresses shipping. Since you're outside the States, this could be a problem.

  I also checked that it is available on a 3rd party site that might be able to ship outside of the U.S.. > > http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-22105-windows-7-64b-recovery-kit-669481-001-for-hp-pavilion-entertainment-notebook-pc-model-number-dm4-2165dx.aspx

  If you have HP recovery media, I suggest you contact HP support, explain the situation and see if they can ship the recovery media in the Hungary. You can check with the support of the Hungary > > http://www8.hp.com/hu/hu/contact-hp/phone-assist.html

  Another option that will probably work now on the existing HARD drive:

  Each HP computer that has Windows preinstalled comes with recovery partitions that can be used to reinstall Windows to factory default condition. It's called HP recovery process. If the partitions are still there and intact, they will do the trick for you and you will be able to recover now. Here's how to perform a recovery > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418

  > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418#AbT3

  Essentially - restart the computer and as soon as it starts booting keep hitting the Esc key (such as tap-tap-tap) to access the HP boot menu. Choose F11 - recovery and follow the on-screen instructions.  Backup your data before restoring.

  In case you decide to replace the HARD drive with an SSDor a new one, then you can the previous image player and to transfer the image to the new free software like Clonezilla > > www.clonezilla.org

  Please, let me know how it goes.

• Update problem with win 7 to 8 T510

  I have a T510 just reinstalled Win 7 using the Lenovo recovery and now I'm looking to move to Win 8 to give a try.

  I'm lazy, so I just uninstalled programs that are specifically highlighted by the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 in the process, not those listed incompatible in the compatibility table, but those that actually prevents the upgrade of the instance Wizard. And apparently just uninstall them is not enough.

  The problem is that I don't know exactly what software is causing problems. Great thinkpad utility software seem to becoming major obstacles to the upgrade. And these drivers. However I really want to uninstall all of them and potentially found out that does not always upgrade. If I have to delete all software from lenovo, I assume a new installation be less obtrusive.

  So I was wondering if someone who has successfully upgraded could give the software or drivers that he or she has uninstalled or share another experience. I appreciate really.

  BTW, I wish Microsoft or Lenovo will come out a better Wizard upgrade who will deal with the problem of uninstalling for users. I know that Lenovo has a list of software that must be uninstalled. Are there opportunities you can make an exe or bat file this unistall all of them at once? I think that most of the thinkpad users like me still have the standard package installed as the machine arrived and it really save a lot of trouble.

  Thank you

  I think the Windows 8 package you downloaded can be used to make a new installation but also upgrade to Windows 7.

  If you run the Windows 8 package you downloaded, it should give you the ability to create a multimedia installation. Then take a 4 GB USB key, run the Windows 8 package, then select the option to install from Media create, or something to that description.

  Select the USB and it will create a Bootable Windows 8 installation.

  You can use this with your key, to create a new installation.

  I'm in dual boot on the same drive, for now while I get used to WIndows 8.

• EliteBook 2570p: EliteBook 2570p reinstall Win 7 Pro OEM

  Hi all.

  I replaced the HARD drive on my Elitebook2570p for SSD and I need to reinstall Win 7 Pro OEM to enable using my travel sticker located under the battery.

  I saw in aid of MS that we should reach to the local HP service center to do this, can cause seller issued series of Win does not allow with MS Genuine audit.

  However, the service representative Local HP told me that they cannot ask for Win 7 Installer CD to professional laptops and I must ask HP support directly.

  Could someone in HP give me a hint what to do in this case?

  If I understand correctly, OEM Win key is locked down for my motherboard, and unless I replace, I can't reinstall and activate the OS without any problem.

  Thank you.

• Try to reinstall win 7 to finally upgrade to win 10

  I started the process of installing windows 10 on my other computer...

  However, I've met some difficulties on the way... Which has lead me to the purchase of a new ssd hd install and trying to install my Windows 7 pro 64 service Pack 1. I installed the basis of windows 7 from the dvd but I seem to be stuck with trying to get the list of updates to the way back when... I activated my windows 7 pro.

  My 1st attempt on my new ssd drive to a bunch of updates failed in win 7 (fails more than 170 passes + updates I needed) I have tried to enter safe mode but couldn't.  Out of one of the sites for internet explorer, I had managed to get what I thought, it was a real option to move to 10 so I chose this option and tired to do. (before I had all my patches downloaded and installed) I left this race for a good 12 hours last night, but he was not able to succeed to install patches or win 10.

  Today, I tired to reinstall win 7 thinking I must have missed something and I want has no longer if possible (hoping for a different result) I have my Windows.old directory and my Windows directory.

  I installed my drivers and he was going to start downloading my updates/patches, but I was not able to get past Agent 7.6.7600.32 windows update.  I was stuck on 'check updates' for a good 3 hours... I understand slow downloads as our internet speeds suck in the best of cases... and I've been able to avg ~2.12 Mbps on down and 0.30mpbs on the site, however, this has been satisfactory to do things until today...  Under change the settings of the pg I have check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them.  (I chose this option b/c many other updates didn't last time and I expected to go through them in pieces smaller than what was installed last night)

  On my drive C I seem to have a Windows10Upgrade file which seems to have some of the files it contains... would I be able to use it to access windows 10 somehow? If I managed to get to 10 is still have to get my windows 7 /updates installed the patches?
  Please help I was hoping to get Windows 10 before the 29 and have to pay for it...

• Need to reinstall win 7 but how?

  The OEM ID & key

  laptop has some problems with the updates and it seems a corruption.

  I would like to reinstall win 7, but as I got the used laptop it came with nothing.

  Last night, I continued to try to solve this problem and has managed to create a diskette using the ISO file downloaded from Digital River, who has installed and working now what appears to be a clean / new Win 7 using my activation code.

  So everything be fine it's fixed!

To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  Please note that Windows 7 Release Candidate is a preliminary version of Windows and should not have has been used as a release candidate.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Once more, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.

  In the lower graphic view of the partitions, right-click on the C partition and select "Extend Volume".

  In the next window, click Next.

  In the next window, use the "select the amount of space in MB" make sure it shows the same number as the number of 'Space available Maximum in MB' which is registered just above (adjust if necessary).

  Click Next, then click Finish.

  It may take a few minutes to complete.

  Kind regards
