• Satellite S50-B-13D - Downgrade from Win7

  Hi, 2 of my friends and myself have bought this laptop. We will add 8 GB of RAM and an SSD to speed it up.

  It comes with win 8.1 x 64, but we all prefer Win 7. Can we get the license codes to an official Win 7 downgrade?

  I've seen the installation hints concerning the deactivation of the UEFI BIOS (carrier MSC mode) mode then that should be OK.

  So, is a license for Windows 7 available for this purpose?

  When you buy the new laptop with OS preinstalled, you will get this operating system with the valid license code that belongs to this preinstalled only version. Price for your laptop includes a single license for pre-installed OS.

  If you want to install the version of the OS, you must buy license code valid for this version of the OS.
  Laptop computer manufacturer generally has nothing to do with your OS downgrade.

  Before you do anything, create a recovery as backup media. It is very important. One day, if you want to have the original version of the new OS, you can use this recovery media (USB or DVD) for recovery image installation.

  Also check if Win7 is supported for this model of laptop. Visit the Toshiba download page and check if you can download all necessary drivers, tools and utilities for your machine.

• Questions to downgrade from Win7 to XP Pro on Presario CQ60-615DX

  Cheryl,

  I have deleted all partitions with a linux boot disk and try to put on a new copy of XP.

  I use a floppy drive external in order to install the SATA drivers during installation, however using the instructions in the sticky thread I always get the BSOD.

  I followed these instructions:

  "The new Presario and HP models (CQ20, CQ50 CQ60 CQ70, G50, G60, G70) with processor installed Intel ICH9 sata driver to be integrated in the setup of XP, while the AMD CPU needs no additional drivers to install.

  You can use the external floppy and F6 during windows XP Setup, best option use Nlite. Guide to wake driver sata (shows only the ICH8 sata driver guide)

  Download nLite

  1. ICH8 driver sata

  2 ICH9 sata driver

  "The pilot is located in iaAHCI.inf and is called ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller '

  I read this as indicating that I can use the optional floppy drive... but I'm starting to wonder if I should integrate the driver (I really want to avoid this process at this point)...

  I checked the ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller driver is listed in the file DOWNLOAD ICH9 above iaahci.inf. However, the options listed on the installation of Windows F6 screen are as follows:

  1.) Intel(r) ICH7R/DH SATA RAID Controller

  2.) Intel(r) ICHC7MDH SATA RAID Controller

  3.) Intel(r) ICH8/ICH9R/ICH10R / / PCH SATA RAID Controller

  4.) Intel(r) ICH8M - E / ICH9M - E / PCHM SATA RAID Controller

  When you try to load the two option 3 and 4 above, I always get a BSOD.

  Needless to say, after two days of work on this, I am extremely frustrated. What I am doing wrong?

  BTW, I like the doc of the full support, it has been a great help...

  Thank you

  Joe

  Butcher, a show don't remember having seen this one. My suggestion is to try the method of wake... don't kick n cry, is not as hard as you think. And once you have a cd made success you will probably never go back to the F6 method very proud_and. A plus is that you already have files on the diskette, you can use them with nLite.

   

  Guide to Daniel as below is probably the best to follow in your state of agitation. Only thing change you in the Guide of nLite is for slipstream SP2 if you do not have it. Where the Guide says (6) in the "task Selection", choose "Drivers" and "Bootable ISO" of high-lighting them_you will also select Service Pack.

  "You need a to integrate the drivers Sata   ( ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controlleronly) with nLite."

  Here is the guide showing how to do it and here are Sata drivers . Just extract this driver with 7-zip (freeware)

  Remember that you use at least Windows XP with Service Pack 2. If you have XP without any Service Pack (SP) or with only the Service Pack 1 (SP1) then you can download ( Service Pack 2 (SP2) here. Instructions how to integrate this file with a copy of your XP you will find in this guide. 

  nLite will give you the ability to burn your new XP disc with any changes you make here. "

• downgrade from Notebook G7 - 2217cl to Win7 lack of USB drivers

  Hello! I have a portable g7 - 2217cl I bought refurbished BB online. I hated the Win8 system, so I "had" to win7. I know that the pros here are immediately go on to say this downgrade from Win8 of Win7 is not recommended because of this problem. However, the ONLY question I need fixed is that the three USB ports are inadmissible due to missing drivers. I can't find these drivers, of course. The computer itself works a lot better on the Win7 system. Start is smooth and it it less glitch.

  Y at - the drivers of compatible USB controller that I could download? I do not have my recovery disc for Win8 (I know, stupid of me to lose those). It is not a full drawback, as I can still operate the machine and use the keyboard to move the pointer. Œuvres Ethernet, sound (loudspeaker internal and made external) and charge cord work. I have not yet tested VGA or HDMI, but I did not need to. I do a lot with it. I just need USB ports to work so that I can use my mouse and printer.

  Thank you for any response!

  I clicked on the link, and I did what he said. I clicked on install express and follow the guests. and now, my USB ports work (3).

• Portege Z930 - Downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.

  I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.
  But later, I deleted all partitions on my HARD drive in order to have a primary partition where to install my old Win7.

  However I can't do!

  Now I have 1 GB 119.1 unallocated space and there is no way to create a new partition from it.
  Also when I try to install Win7 it says the disc's style GPT.

  I also tried to convert it from the command prompt, but it does not work.

  You guys have any ideas what to do?

• Want to 360 x (15-u011dx): try to downgrade to Win7 Pro

  Has anyone got this laptop particular smoothly after downgrading from Win 7?  After you change all the BIOS settings recommended and created a bootable Win7 USB Installer, I * finally * got the software based there.  I finally had to destroy any single partition on the hard drive, including recoveries of the factory to do but I don't care too much as I had no intention of returning to Win8.

  Now, I'll have a whale of a time finding the proper drivers.  Priority 1 is network / wireless network & I swapped a specific message to this Council.  All I can find on the site of HP essentially says "this laptop is optimized for Win8 you watered if you want to do something different."

  Please put my mind at ease, I have an achievable goal in front of me without TOO much trouble.  Thank you!

• Downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows Vista

  Hello

  I want to ask something about the downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows Vista Edition Home Premium!

  My laptop is Satellite L510. When I bought it, it came with Windows Vista Home Premium as its OS so I already created a recovery disk.
  Now, if I update to Windows 7 and if I want to downgrade to window Vista... often I just use this recovery disc to format to Windows Vista everything as before?

  Because they do not have the Windows Vista installation disk when I bought this laptop.
  And I want to ask now the window Vista already got a healthy recovery partition in my right HDdrive? If I update to Windows 7 then did the Window Vista healthy recovery partition is still there, or only the restore disc that I create before you reformat Windows Vista Home Premium box?

  Thanks to all who try to answer my question!

  All new laptops are shipped without DVD upgraders and everyone must create one. This is why Toshiba has designed small Creator called Toshiba Recovery tool. With this tool you can create recovery DVDs and use them for the installation of the OS more far.

  Whenever when you use, you'll have to factory settings and it will be like on the first day when launch you for the first time.

  When you have this recovery media, you can do whatever you want and, of course, install Win7 with HARD drive. One day, when you want to have Vista again just use created recovery DVD and you will have factory again.

  When you bought your laptop recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDRecovery. This image can be used to install Vista with the factory only settings. When you install Win7 these files can no longer be used and Vista must be installed from recovery created DVDs.

  All questions answered?
  If you have any other questions please let us know.

  I just branch a refurbished HP 15-AB044SA comes with preinstalled Windows 8.1. I'm not a fan of the operating system and want to downgrade to windows 7. Could you please guide me to the decommissioning?

  And I have the same funcitionality in the laptop running Windows 7 as Windows 8.1? Is it possible to keep the same license OS currently on the laptop?

  Thanks in advance,

  If the reason why you don't like Win8x is the lack of a desktop and start menu, consider downloading and installing ClassicShell.  This will give the look-and-feel of Win7 back - and it's FREE!

  As for Win7, there are drivers HP to Win7 for your PC: http://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771366/model/8255011

  If this page does not display Win7 when you open it, then click on edit and select Windows 7 from the menu drop down.

  As for the feature, Yes, you will have the same functionality in Win7 you have in Win8x - just a different user interface.

  There is no 'path of decommissioning' to Win7. Instead, you'd have to do is to boot from Win7 installation media and install it on top of Win8.  This means that you will lose all existing applications, the parameters and the data of the user in the process.

  NO, we do not keep or use the same license.  Your PC came with HP OEM Win8 preinstalled, and that's what the license is for.  To install Win7, you will need to buy it and then activate it by using the product key that you receive with the purchase.  You can't buy this at HP, because he's not selling copies of Win7.

  But what you CAN do is to check with the HP customer service and see if they will sell you HP to Win7 for your PC recovery media.  It would cost much less go out and buy a copy of Win7 retail.

• Can I downgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows XP Professional

  QUESTIONS: 1) can I demote a machine Win7 Starter purchased through package of retail full license, never installed, XP Pro OS?  Assume that both are 32-bit.  I was thinking of buying one of these netbooks cheap in Walmart stores that are Windows 7 upgrade option to Windows 8 (which I do not wish to use), and experiment.  If Win7 is proving to be as disastrous as I wait, I want to install a new copy of the new detail of full XP Pro including Service Pack 3 (which has never been installed on any computer), to downgrade from Windows 7. I've never used in triplicate.
  The machine is Acer Aspire One with Windows 7 Starter edition, on sale at Walmart for only $228.  They have other editions of Windows, I could buy instead, if the Starter Edition is not eligible for a downgrade.
  2) do you anticipate problems of license?  Do not talk about compatibility, as that varies depending on the machine.  It's just that the installation with MS products is always also annoying complicated and always associated with a licensing problem.  I can't guess at what these problems are, they are never what I expect.  Where the question.

  Backstory: I am wary of XP Professional updating to Windows 7, due to the many people experience incompatibilities.  I ran the Win7 Upgrade Advisor, and he has not yet detected what third-party software was running on my machine in his analysis, other than common programs of MS and stuff from the internet.  So I have ZERO faith it will be compatible with my XP software current and material, so 32-bit (which I use now), or 64-bit (which one of my machines can take in charge, but instead, 32-bit XP Prof OS is installed and running).

  It cost me about $100K of my time to switch to XP, in 2005; I just went through two own XP installed on two of my other machines.  Recovery was not possible.  Cost me three months of my life, these facilities.  Wouldn't do it again.  It is unnecessarily complex.

  So I have to check the effectiveness of Win7.  And if she is not enough justify using, as I hope - I have a lot of detail that new (well, once again) never used XP Professional OS bought in a store, that I can use to downgrade.  ("not OEM, not upgrade or academic, etc. so the full XP license is valid for each packet.)  I understand very well that support ends in April 2014 and don't care if it stops.  What I care about is running my business that threatens to Win7, because it changes the interface and eliminates a bunch of features that have been very productive in XP Pro.

  Of course, my impressions have not been tested on a live installation.  ERGO this post.  For me, it's a $100,000 decision, because it is the cost of my time if I deploy Win7.  Sorry for ranting, but I need to explain the reasons for downgrading in context.  Thank you for your time!

  I guess I do not understand you. If you have a version of Xp retail packaging, you can install it on any computer you want. Nothing MS or anyone else can say about it.

  As others have noted you might encounter a driver for some of your hardware problem is not not compatible wth Xp. The only way to know for sure, or I should say the best way, is to install Xp and discover.

  If it was me I would make sure that the computer has a restore disk or a partition to reinstall Win 7 if Xp didn't work. If none of those who were present I would clone the drive hard while Win 7 was still about this. Better safe than sorry.

  Finally, I would make sure that I got a usb Ethernet card so that you could make sure you have the ability to connect when the net card driver was not installed with Xp...

• How downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows XP Home Edition?

  How downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows XP Home Edition?  I understand that what is happening back, but my printer & a lot of programs that I can not afford to replace now is not compatible with Win7.  I tried to insert the WinXP disc, but he says the facility is "blocked due to compatibility issues".

  Hello

  To install windows XP on windows 7, you need to start your computer while the cd is in the drive. This will allow the system prompts you to "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.." and then follow the instructions accordingly.

  I hope this helps.

• Downgraded for Win7

  Hey guys

  I downgraded to Win7 and I am having some problems.

  My battery seems to flow in a way faster than when I was on Win8.1. I went into the bios and did a battery check. He said that everything was OK. However, I went to support assistant and did a battery check it and he told me that the battery was unknown. I tried to calibrate the battery, but it wouldn't let me.

  I wanted to also make sure I have all the right drivers installed my system.

  Hi Daniel,.

  I tested my HARD drive in the other laptop and it starts normally, I did format and then I put in my laptop. I tried to install XP and everything was successful. I could install XP. I am very happy and I did not buy a new HARD drive.
