• New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. How do I creat more than I can duel boot

  New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. They are system, OS (C drive), recovery and HP tools > how do I create a new partition so that I can duel boot withour causing the entire disk pass the dynamic that would get me no where?

  If you change something, it may invalidate your warranty. If you need to return your laptop to HP, they will just wipe the drive and start over, no questions asked.

  You must remove the HP tools or the recovery partition. I think that removing the partition on an HP tools automatically goes to sleep you out of the recovery partition.

  If you delete the recovery partition, you must make sure that you have done the set HP recovery disk and it is on quality discs and safely set aside.

  If you are planning on dual booting with different versions of Windows, make sure that Windows utility block each other. For example, don't let Windows defrag loose on the other OS partition.

  original title: moving from Linux to 7

  Hello

  Unfortunately, you cannot switch from Linux to windows operating system 7, but you can upgrade from Windows vista to Windows 7.

  Because you are unable to upgrade Linux, I suggest you perform a custom installation of Windows 7.

• How to clone disk HARD of backup/restore for ideapad with pre-installed win8 and recovery button work?

  Hi all

  I recently bought a y510p ideapad. It came with pre-installed win8, and I have no recovery CD. I intend to play with linux on this laptop, but do not want to lose win8. So before I have potentially immediately reformat, I think to make a copy of clone of my HDD on an external USB drive. The general plan is like that,

  1. make a copy of mobile on external USB HARD drive

  2 mud with linux - and foolishly autour reformat the entire process

  3. have fed up with linux and want to return to windows

  4 copy of retrospective data from usb driver external HDD latop

  5 return to the comfort of win8

  With the help of this tool (clonezilla) will work in the above scenario?

  http://www.MakeUseOf.com/tag/free-advanced-hard-drive-cloning-solution-from-Clonezilla/

  If not, are there any other alternatives (free if all goes well) I could use?

  My intention with the backup, is that after that I have 'restore' things, "a key recovery" button should continue to work as before.

  Make the plan will cause OKR is not functioning properly. To prove this to get a hard drive of exact size and make a clone of hard disk of the device. Remove the hard drive from the unit and place the disc clone hard inside. You can now play with the disk hard clone to your hearts desire but OKR first test if it still works. Even if OKR no longer work, you can proceed with the installation of linux. Once you're disgusted with Linux everything you have to do is replace the hard disk clone with the original hard drive and you're back to win with OKR 8 still works.

• Laptop comes with Windows 7 installed - but no software disc to use later

  I just bought a HP laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed on it.  He came with a disc of Windows 7 - just installed on the computer.

  I'm not an expert in the terminology of this now, so bear with me!   In the past when I went to computer technology.  Sometimes, they cleaned my hard drive and reinstalled windows from scratch software.  I think it was to clean etc.

  I contacted HP and that they sent me a few disks system recovery, but that's all.  No disk Windows 7 program.

  I know that I have the license under the mobile number, but from what I've seen online there are no Windows software, you can simply download and then use your own license number with her.

  So, how can I get the full program to use (from scratch rather than "recovery")?

  I hope you know what I mean...

  Thank you

  Hello

  The recovery discs you sent by HP include the installation of your Windows 7 operating system and all the software original that came with your laptop.  So, for example if you were to replace the hard drive at some point in the future, these discs will reinstall the OS + all of your software on the new drive.

• Reinstalling windows 7 starter on a netbook with pre-installed windows edition

  I have a Samsung N145 10 '' netbook that I would like to clean it with a cloth. It came with a product key for windows starter 7, but no disc. I tried to download windows 7 from the windows site to reinstall. But entering my product key, I got this message: "The product key you have entered seems to be for software pre-installed by the manufacturer of the device.

  You must use the recovery partition of manufacturers to reinstall Windows 7.

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. 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.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  If the recovery partition does not work, try the following:

• Computer with pre installed windows 7 no longer work after Windows installation 10

  Hello

  A few months ago, my son ordered a computer with Windows 7 pre-installed. He installed Windows 10 such as recommended with the message 'free upgrade'. Unfortunately, now the computer does not work at all and the computer doesn't seem to have a possibility of recovery (at least we cannot find it).

  In addition, the computer manufacturer does not meet one of e-mails and calls from some time. What can we do to recover his computer with Windows 7 or Windows 10 (I don't like which version of Windows)? Windows setup does not work 10 from scratch, the product key has not been accepted, probably because there is only a product key for a pre installed windows 7.

  Help, please!

  Kind regards

  John
