• How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?

  How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?  I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to.  I just want my computer works like windows xp.

  So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.

  OR

  do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?

  In this case (start base fast and simple):

  • try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
  • Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
  • Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
  • Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.

  But its still W7 in disguise.

  Is that the sort of thing you mean?

  If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

• Remove Windows 8.1 & install Winows 7 Pro?

  I have a HP Envy 17 t-j100.  It came with Windows 8, then I upgraded to 8.1.  Now, I need to / delete Win 8.1 installation and convert the laptop in a pure Windows 7 Pro system.  I have an OEM Win 7 Pro w / a code valid.  Can I do this?  If so, how?

  The reason for the question is that I went in the menu configuration and active the option to support legacy, then changed to read first from the optical drive boot order.  Everything seemed to work fine, but when I choose a drive where I wanted to install Win 7, he told me that I can't do.  No, it wasn't the recovery disk or the boot drive, it's the Windows disc.

  I can remove "BOLD" and just that drive, and then re-create a new drive instead of keep Win 7 Pro, and she even let me do that?

  I really don't want to make this laptop a doorstop... I'm going to buy a new Win 7 system if necessary but I do not take the $$$ if I can do this in what I need.

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. 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 take in charge 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.

  The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

  

  In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

  

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  From the top...

  (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

  3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

  4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

  5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

  (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

  (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

  (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

  (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

  11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

  (12) you may need to provide Intel SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...  Download f6flpy-x 64.zip, extract and place it on a USB Flash drive if necessary.

  (13) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

  (14) Please reinstall Windows 64-bit drivers from the page of drivers of Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC HP ENVY 17 t-j100. Device Manager position "Hardware ID" (text only) for all remaining missing or unknown devices, as shown in the example below.

  You cannot delete vista

  2. an upgrade is performed from an operating system of windows in your vista case, unless microsoft advises otherwise; does not apply in your case

  solve your problem of malware or clean reinstall vista 1st - then upgrade

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

  If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  ____________________________________________________

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• If I downloaded photos on my iphone on my hard drive from the desktop computer, can I remove iphoto library without deleting them on the hard drive?

  I received the message that my iphone storage is almost full.  It is mainly from photos and videos.  I deleted the videos and have uploaded my photos on my hard drive of computer desk top of the page (which is a Dell non Apple products).  Can I now enter into the iphoto library and delete photos without losing those I downloaded on my desktop computer.  If so, how do I?  Thank you D

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.
