  1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58? YES, it is probably possible to install Windows 7 on your computer.

  2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject? NO.

  3 and if so, how?

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer 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.

  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 or AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...

  (13) ' where do you want to install Windows 7? Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated space", you created earlier, and then click "next".

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

  (15) download and install the drivers from the support page for your computer.

  After installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (text only) for all other devices missing or unknown as illustrated in the example below.

• Replace Windows XP with Linux Mint in a Win 7 Multiboot system.

  My current setup is a system to multiboot with three partitions on my drive system 0). D/Windows XP, Partition partition E / Data Partition and Partition C/Windows 7. My secondary drive, which is not really from this dialog box has 4 partitions for backups, system, system, and application paging areas and free space. This system works perfectly, with Windows 7 the initial boot process management.

  My main goal and the basis of this announcement is to find the best way to replace my Windows XP with Linux Mint partition. Which of the following statements is the most logical, or is it yet another less dangerous path?

  1 install Linux over XP?
  Should I clean just format the current XP partition and install Linux Mint top, leaving the windows 7 partition in tact? Will be the start menu still works even if it is Windows 7 really think it offers a startup XP option which in reality would be Linux.

  2. approach Ground Zero?
  Should I reformat the drive and set up the three partitions Virgin followed of a clean intall (ouch) of Windows 7, followed a new Linux installation, and then, I'm guessing that installation of Grub to manage the startup process. ? I don't think I can use an image backup file of windows 7 (image for dos) since it will wait for a XP startup option. Windows 7 does not save/restore Win 7 without Win XP.

• Windows 7, sensitivity of the touchpad, Sony VAIO

  I had Windows Vista Home Premium installed on my Sony VAIO PCG-5KSP laptop.

  It's never happened before, but after I installed Windows 7 the sensitivity of the touchpad went through the roof. Constantly, the cursor will be "clicked" by my finger or a wrist and move to where the mouse is located while I type.

  It's already happened twice while typing this! I've already tried looking for TouchPad and looked under control panel > mouse >

  There is no properties/settings tab with sensitivity. Under properties is only shows general, driver details, and if I click on change settings there again only once the general tabs, pilot and detail.

  Where can I change the sensitivity of the stupid touchpad?

  It's the answer - I installed Synaptics for Vista, even though I have Windows 7 - they work well together.  You can then disable your touchpad and we a bluetooth mouse and the problem is solved!  It's great.

• Windows 7 Edition home premium download sony vaio

  I have laptop sony vaio VPCSB16FG series. Without knowing it, I formatted the C drive and I lost all my backups. I wanted to download the windows 7 Home premium for sony vaio since I was the real key. How can I download operating system. Its 64-bit

  As far as I know, you can't. You must contact Sony for a recovery disc, for which there will be a tax...

  That said, if it was ONLY C drive you formatted, there should be a hidden partition, you can restore the machine to factory specifications.

  Read the documentation that came with the computer to see how it's done...

• Replace Windows 8 with Windows 7

  Original title: Windows 8

  I bought a computer last week which of course has Windows 8.  I had nothing that trouble and would like to to replace it with Windows 7, however, I don't think not that I would have to pay to replace.  Can you send me Windows 7 or I can download it without having to buy it.  Windows 8 is horrible!  Just get a reply or sending an email to the Microsoft Community appears as an act of Congress.

  Seems like you should dial the computer number of supporting manufacturers.   To talk to them.   They are responsible for solving problems with windows 8 software on the computer, they sold to you.  OEM take responsibility for support in order to get great prices good.

  I have a few images of a person doing yoga inside and the windows are completely blown. I thought I could fix this by replacing the windows with a bottom. However, I have some difficulty making it realistic!

  Does anyone have any suggestions: -.

  

  

  

  Insulate windows with opacity masks

  And drop the background in V1.

  But if the Lady moves on the window, you'll have to animate the mask.

• Sony VAIO drivers and utilities are not compatible with Windows 8.1.

  OT: Sony laptop Vaio question.

  Hello.

  I was using Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium in my Sony VAIO laptop. Recently, I bought PRO 8.1 Windows and installed.

  Now, most of my drivers and utilities VAIO is not compatible! Support for Sony is saying, direct installation Windows 8.1 will be loss the drivers and utilities and we cannot install drivers and utilities more!

  The solution is that I have to install Windows 8 PRO and install and upgrade the sony vaio drivers and utilities. After that, I can do an upgrade to Windows 8.1 PRO.

  So, the question is, I download the installer of Windows 8 PRO but, PRO 8.1 Windows key does not accept!

  What should do? Now, I am running Windows 7. I need to upgrade to windows 8 and 8.1. Please help me solve this problem. All I need is to make my work with Windows 8 key.

  Hi Akhil,

  Thank you for writing to us, we are happy to help Microsoft Community.

  What is the model number of the Sony Vaio laptop?

  I wish to inform you that the product key that is used for Windows 8.1 cannot be used for Windows 8.

  If you upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8, you will need the key to upgrade of Windows 8. The retail version of Windows 8.1 product key cannot be used to activate Windows 8.

  However, the majority of drivers and utilities that are compatible with Windows 8 works correctly with Windows 8.1.

  Please let us know the model number of the laptop, so that we can get the proper drivers and utilities from the laptop.

  Forward to your response.

• Sony Vaio VGN-FZ38M drivers for Windows 7

  Hello

  I had Windows Vista premium edition on my sony vaio. He has been replaced by windows 7 after vista wouldn't start on a number of occasions.

  But that left me without any driver for my sony vaio, so I can't use the camera, the scroll of the touchpad, dvd blue ray player. Do you know where I could get these drivers that are compatible with windows 7?

  I've seen a windows 7 restore disk for download at a price of 17 euros on the web address http://restore-disk.com/restoredisks/Sony/SonyVGN/Sony-VGN-FZ38M-Windows-7-Restore-Disk-322846.html

  Anyone who has previously successfully used?

  Thank you

  Sinead.

  Go to the Sony Web site and download/install the appropriate Windows 7 drivers. If there is no available using the recovery process initially supplied with your laptop and re - install Vista.

  Without the support of Windows 7 from Sony, the devices will never work...

• Computer laptop Sony VAIO on Windows 8 may not change the brightness

  I have a Sony VAIO VPCS11X9E and my screen brightness is at the lowest setting for some reason any. In addition, my FN keys for brightness setting do not work. All the means to change the brightness do not work, this does not include the brightness bar when you go into the settings.

  I tried both installation driver, checked for any drivers missing or out-of-date drivers, but the only one who seems to be obsolete is my Intel HD graphics that I'VE updated, but the Intel driver update checker says otherwise.
  I deactivated AND activated (just in case) the Adaptive brightness, but it doesn't work.
  I got Windows 7 Ultimate running before but decided to upgrade to Windows 8. Windows 7 has never had any problems with the brightness. Also when I load upward, even thought I have replaced Windows 7 with Windows 8, it still load the dual boot screen, asking me what OS I want to start with. Starting with Windows 7 goes down several times, then it will take me to repair VAIO system. Windows 8 of course takes me to Windows 8.
  When the laptop starts up, the large letters or "VAIO" is bright and normal and sometimes, but not always, when it comes to dual boot screen, the brightness is normal. However, when this happens, as soon as I move the mouse or click on a button, the brightness goes immediately back down to very dim.
  When loading upward in another system or startup program, the brightness is fine. For example when I go to Sony VAIO Recovery Center, the brightness is ok. Also, if I boot in something like miniXP or a separate operating system on a bootable floppy or USB, the brightness is fine as well.
  I tried many patches of driver, but NONE of them work! I tried to boot in safe mode and try to install some drivers manually because that apparently works, but it makes no difference at all.
  If you could help me, even if this does not work, I would be very happy!
  Thank you very much.

  I found how to adjust the brightness on my Vaio that uses Windows 8, I went to

  VAIO Control Center
  Image quality
  Off the brightness of the display
  I hope this helps everyone with this problem.
