Slimline Office 260-a020: install Windows 7 Home Premium on a new machine Windows 10?

Just got a new HP 260 - A020, but I used Windows 10 library for 3 weeks in the meantime and have no use for the clumsy, stupid thing, overworked or otherwise for his reputation as a Big Brother. (also software security 3 deep at the top of the paranoia of pull-the-plug, had a hint of malware, so Win7 is a lot never secure enough for a few years).
... The old hard drive is always good, so I intend to drop that in an external case to recover files from 2-3, that have not been backed up, which first use as a boot drive, then for the time being that the backup with Windows7 on the machine itself.

... EXCEPT - warnings of Best Buy Sales & Geek Squad, as well as messages here on how a 'modern' machine may not recognize the old drivers - LaserJet not only but things such as video, network, disk HARD, USB etc.
... But in the months before July 29, I've seen a hundred proposals to put 7 or 10 on a disk/partition bootable by means of hedging against the transition and never a mention of this problem. If a native Win7 machine works very well with Win10 and new drivers but not the reverse?  or download Win10 preserve the old drivers?

Hello:

There are too many unknowns to give you an answer about your plans.

I looked at the specs for this PC and I do not see why he cannot run W7 if you have a W7 64-bit installation disc and product key.

You will need to enable legacy in BIOS mode and disable secure startup to launch W7.

Looks like you can get all the drivers you need directly from websites of the manufacturer of the item (AMD and Realtek) and the driver for the card from another PC of HP wireless.

The unknowns about what you want to do...

Most likely simply plopping the other PC in the new disc it will not work.  Startup files are different, etc..

Then there are potential legal problems...

If the hard disk that you plan to install in the new PC has an OEM operating system, it is forbidden to transfer the OEM of the computer operating system, it was originally installed in, to another PC.

An OEM operating system is the one that came with a PC when you bought it (like Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.).

Only, you would be able to transfer an operating system of detail from one PC to another.

In summary: this PC yourself running W7?  Probably, Yes.

Can you put the hard drive currently with W7 top in your new PC and expect it to work?  Probably not.

    About ready to take my new machine to & Geek Squad to pay $100 to the level of Win10 to Win7 (got new drive Home Premium & key, also downloaded 7 and make an ISO image in the hope of saving hours install all updates when I thought I was going to do it myself and try).  Two questions:

    This isn't a return to upgrade Win10, this is a native Windows 10 machine. Is this likely to void my warranty?

    Hello:

    It is a peer to peer forum, so we can only give you our unqualified opinion about warranty information.

    It used to be written information online on warranty information.  I can't find anything relevant to your question more.

    From what I read in the past, you will cancel the software warranty as you install an operating system not supported.

    This means that if you have a problem with Windows or the programs installed on the PC, HP will be asked to reinstall W10 before moving on to troubleshoot the PC under warranty.

    Install W7 should not void the warranty of equipment.

    I do not use the HPSA myself, but it does not scan your PC and recommends W10 drivers.

    The safe thing to do would be to have it notify you of updates but not automatically install the.

    Do not leave it on autopilot (automatically download and install updates).

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - what is - this OA in the license tag? Is it possible to install the OS [Home premium] 64-bit with the same key?

    1 What is OA in the license tag
    2. is it possible to install the OS [Home premium] 64-bit with the same key.

    Hi adil13,

    Adding to reply TrekDozer,

    1 original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Activation is also known under the name of OA. It's basically OEM activation of basic input/output system (BIOS) - which means that they have already activated and you don't need to enter the key and activate yourself.

    2. you will only be able to activate a copy of Windows 7 with the number of product key used for 64-bit or 32-bit version at the same time, not both. It will allow only a copy installed with him to be activated. If you try to do it on both versions 32/64-bit, you will probably get the message that your product key is already in use or The Windows 7 product key you typed is invalid for activation .

    I hope this helps!

    Kind regards

  • Problems after doing a clean install of Vista Home Premium and service pack 2

    I see that others have the same problem as me, but there is no way to comment (that I can see) on the thread I've read.  After a lot of problems, I did a clean install of VISTA Home Premium (came with my Dell PC) and when I installed service pk2, all of the same problems that led me to do a clean install appeared.  I can't the computer to recognize and install the keyboard and the mouse of the blue tooth. (Don't tell me to contact the manufacturer, because they came w / the computer and say "Dell" on them!)  He told me that the enumerator does not work.  Then I launched Quicken, and when I tried to save a registry check for print, he gave me the msg "Quicken launcher has stopped working".  He was a key reason I did a clean install.  The only improvement is that I can at least open Quicken, which he would not let me do before.  How to uninstall service pack 2?

    I suggest that you use the built in recovery tools manufacturers to create a recovery disc or create a system image. I noticed that the upgrade to a later version of Windows can make your inoperable recovery partition.

    It is not officially supported.
    One of my friends has tried to install the whole package to XP recently. He made a few components work but in the end he has created so many problems, it uninstalled completely. As for Vista, I don't think it's even just to try it. I am running Windows 2003 on my laptop (4 GB T61) and everything works fine.
    Some people here had some experience on the same topic but, I hope that they share their experiences.

  • How long an installion take to install Windows 7 Home Premium on a new hard drive in minutes, hours. ?

    Its seems its time consuming to install Windows 7 Home Premium

    It varies depending on factors such as the speed of the processor, memory, and even the speed of the hard drive. I've seen facilities vary from 14 minutes, 20 minutes to an hour to several hours, but is upgrade scenarios. Because you perform a custom installation, would be no more than 20 to 30 minutes. If you experience problems during installation, try unplugging all non-essential devices (printers, disk external drive, thumb drive, scanner), the installer of Windows 7 could try to detect them.

  • CREATIX card TV no longer works for Windows Media Center after you install Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

    I recently updated my computer Windows Vista Edition Medion Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. While my computer was running Vista, I could use the tuner TV SAA7131 Creatix card in my computer to watch digital TV British, that is to say Freeview. Before my upgrade to Windows 7, I checked all my drivers would be compatible, and the Advisory program told me that they would be sufficient. However, when I tried to setup of the library to receive a TV signal, the implementation will not progress beyond the screen "Considering television signals" Percentage of completion bar gets to about 90% and then does not move, or entirely 100%, but the screen does not change, and if I try to return to the main menu screen, Windows Media Center crashes with the 'circle of rotation of loading"and does not change.

    I reinstalled Cyberlink Home Cinema after realization of the Medion TV improve extra that comes with it, but that didn't seem to help. The same problem persists.

    I have still the disk with the drivers on, but I'm not sure how to reinstall the drivers using the disk, because the record for drivers TV Tuner does she not an executable file, just a series of system files, application extensions and the DAT files.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You must find the CTX driver version in the code of your tv card provider (poster Device Manager it under hardware ID in the Details tab) in the list of suppliers PDF in the FAQ section of the site Creatix. Then, you can download the right CTX driver from the support section. Is there a Windows 7 driver for my SAA7131 card.

  • Pavilion Slimline desktop computer: Reinstall W7 Home Premium on a new disc

    I need to replace the disk of har on that office that the original one failed.  I'll have to reinstall the operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit).  Windows was originally preinstalled on the disc when buying so I don't have the original installation disks, but I found a set of HP recovery disks which I am sure that the from this computer.  My other computer is an HP, but is W8.1.

    I have found a product key and tried to see if I could download a new copy of W7 but the product key is not used, I'd expect to see.  One of the groups of characters is "OEM" which I know is an indication that it has been installed by HP.  I got this key off the screen of the system until I took it off the service.  What steps should I take when I get a new drive for this computer to install Windows?

    If you have the recovery for the PC, it will reinstall everything that was out there when it came from the factory, until he's actually executed.  Don't go too big on the new drive. as I said earlier "If the PC comes with Windows 7 is already installed, the PC can be returned to"sweet facorty"with the set of recovery disks and will be activated and the key will be installed."

    How difficult is it to remove a Windows 8 OS preinstalled on a new computer from h9 WANT Phoenix and replace it with Windows 7 Home Premium OS? Does anyone do this? If so, what kind of problems face?  In addition, you have all of the recommendations regarding this?  Where did you buy the Windows 7 program.  I am interested to do a clean install of Windows 7 Edition family on a HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1355 computer.

    You must DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the BIOS, then save these changes. The next time you start, you enter the code provided to accept the previous changes. You must start the Windows7 as UEFI media to install Windows 7 on the GPT partitioned hard disk factory. You can buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid key to install it.

    The drivers below should do the trick, if you are bent on installing Windows 7.

    Intel Download Center (Use the Intel driver update utility to scan your system for drivers up to date automatically and install it quickly).
