The upgrade of my HP Pavilion dv7t - 6 c 00 to Windows 8

Hello

This weekend, I upgraded my HP Pavilion dv7t - 6 c 00 (that I bought in July) to Windows 8 with the sad result that the drivers for my laptop do not work in Win8. I just had to do a Recovery boot back to Windows 7 (and lost a lot of time and information) because I really need the work of the graphics card.

When the drivers will work properly? When will it be the right time to move again to Windows 8?

Thanks in advance,

Felipe

@morafen24,.

I may have some good news.

I just checked your laptop for Windows 8 drivers driver & support page and it seems there is now a switchable graphics driver available that was not available previously when I checked.

Here is the link if you want to try it.

    Response PLZ! It's my first time handling HP products and I don't want it to end like this...

    Thank you!!

    Yes, this was not a choice good processor if you want to do demanding tasks. You have the N3700 processor which is a low power (both in terms of calculation and electricity) designed for long battery life, without not demanding calculation.

    http://cpuboss.com/CPUs/Intel-Pentium-N3700-vs-Intel-Core-i3-5010U

    It is as powerful as an i3, about 85-90%, which isn't really too bad considering how little juice it uses.

    See p. 16 of the manual here, with 2 messages. The CPU is soldered to the Commission is not able to be upgraded separately, and the only processors available on this model are low power. And a motherboard would cost about as much as the laptop.

    Repair manuals

    Believe it or not, the top of the page processor is the M3 Skylake which runs at 900 mhz, but is even more powerful than the N3700, but not a lot.

    Purchase of a computer is not the brand. It's the material inside. If you decide to replace this one, please ask here or on a similar technology that is out there and its capabilities on-line forum. It was easier, but is now a bit complex.

  • the upgrade card mother DM3-Pavilion

    Hello

    My 4 year Pavilion dm3, recently died on me. It's a little elegant machine, I wanted to wear around and who was always OK for occasional daily tasks. For these reasons and others, I would at least try to replace the defective motherboard and revive.

    The model I bought is a dm3-1003tx exotic model (bought in Thailand, especially with a keyboard QWERTY/thai), with Intel SU7300 and discrete nVidia GeForce G 105 M graphics chip.

    Given that the original motherboard is not easy to find (PN 584079-001, only a couple of bids on ebay of the Japan), can someone tell me:

    -If it's OK to replace it with an another based SU7300 of motherboard (can be with or without the nvidia chip - I really don't need it).

    -or even better upgrade to a motherboard of SP9300 based to get a performance gain? If so, should I expect any change (it looks that the consumption of energy and the frequency of the buses are higher with the SP9300 then maybe RAM...?)

    Is there any tool available around compatible HP part numbers?

    Thank you

    No, there is not a matrix of cross, useful reference because it would be. I think that HP is simply too many different models and parts for someone to keep track of it all. HP Service is inspired by replacement with the same part number so their internal service people wouldn't even have much use for such a thing, just us end users.

    Motherboards have the processor soldered to the and there is only a single part number for the fan/radiator Intel stated so I would say that if you replace your motherboard with it:

    580663 001

    with the SP9300, you'll be able to reuse your fan/radiator. In the case where you don't have it here is the repair:

    Manual

    All models use the DDR2-800 memory and accept up to 8 GB. Different motherboards all seem to have the same ports and such and will have the same anchor points. You could even theoretically install a card mother AMD-based, but this would require to reinstall an operating system, and I wouldn't trade an Intel processor for an AMD processor in any case unless AMD have been much cheaper. A Committee from AMD would also require a different radiator, however.

    You can buy the SP9300 motherboard for $45 shipped on eBay:

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/580663-001-HP-Compaq-motherboard-Pavilion-dm3-Intel-laptop-W-SP9300-CPU-581467-0-/400445142883?PT=motherboards&hash=item5d3c63f763

    The same seller also has the SU7300 for a few dollars less:

    I bought a little of this seller and it looks like they have a lot of them on the spot so must have dismantled a certain dm3s. Maybe if you call them they can steer you in a way or another based on real practical experience. I confess that I have the opportunity to work on this exact model.

  • The upgrade of my HP pavilion graphics card computer laptop - please help

    Hi I recently bought a HP Pavilion DV6-7029TX, with a third generation i7 quad core and an integrated NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 M 2 GB card graph. I was looking to put the graphic card to something more powerful, however I do not know if it is possible as it says its "integrated". I was wondering if someone could help explain what this means and if I can add a better graphics card for games. Also if its not to much trouble, what would be a good card graphic for games (for things like wow) can improve it if it turns out that I have. Thank you!

  • The upgrade to windows 7 without the HP Windows 7 program

    Hello

    I think the upgrade of my HP pavilion with windows vista laptop Windows 7 but missed on the upgrade program. I would like to know if the programs that came pre-installed on my laptop as Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe, microsoft Works Manager and recovery would still be there after a clean install or can I download these programs at HP and if so could you give me a link. I would also like to know if I can make the disc bootable recovery for windows 7. I would also like to know how to get the software/programs and drivers for windows 7 for my laptop and the best way to install windows 7 without programs to upgrade windows 7 HP.

    Thanks for the reply. I wandered just so I can get a download to a compatible HP Recovery Manager on Windows 7

    I don't believe that you can. The Recovery Manager which comes with a HP installed W7 is supposed to work with some serious W7 DVD's, not Vista. You can try it, but I don't think it will work. If so, that's fine.

    Here is a link of Cheryl to download some third-party programs that will create recovery discs. Then you won't need the Recovery Manager:

     

     http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/operating-systems-and-software/copying-a-recovery-disc/m-p/249208#M35802

      

    This is the last post from Cheryl.

    and also, I would like to know if the recovery partition is still there after cleaning installed

    If you choose not to delete the Vista recovery partition, it will always be there, but the once you have created your recovery DVD of Vista, you no longer have any in any way. Some people have kept and tried to make it active all in W7 and it did not work. This is because it is designed to work with Vista. I got rid of all the baggage of Vista when I did my installation on my HDX.  It provides a clean slate to work from. Vista recovery disk you did is bootable DVD and does not require the present recovery Vista Manager or partition.

    When you read the tutorial that said you that you will create "unallocated space" it erases the hard drive nice and clean so there is no more contradictory left applications for Vista. I deleted the entire disc and left nothing of Vista, including the Vista recovery partition.

    and if I use my vista recovery disks can I still go back to windows 7 using the installation disc or if I have to buy windows 7 again.

    You can use the Windows installation disc as many times as you want. as long as it's on this machine. If you go back to Vista just put the W7 disk in and try again. If you follow this tutorial of Cheryl and my instructions, you shouldn't have any problems. Here's a useful tip. During the installation of W7 you will be asked to enter your product number and activate it online.

    Choose not to: use it as a 30 day trial and when you are satisfied that everything is up and running then you can activate it on your own, as long as it is in this 30 day window.

    Just to point out, you can use the disk on any machine for a 30 day trial. If you have a friend who wants to try W7 you can lend him the disc. They will have no choice, but to use it as a trial because you have the only key to product. The product is on the box plastic and not anywhere on the installation disc. The drive is useless with a legitimate product key.

    After 30 days, Microsoft will lock them out of their computer if they do not enter a key.

    P.S. I don't have the HP Windows 7 Upgrade option. I'll buy Windows 7 in my computer store

    When you buy your drive of W7 make sure and get the upgrade because it is cheaper. It will allow you to perform a new installation you have a Vista OS works.

    The only time where you need to purchase a full version is if you install on a computer with no previous operating system on the hard drive.

    Tip: After loading of the W7 the first driver you want to install is for the video card (NVIDIA I think) you'll find out why.

  • The upgrade of an Inspiron 5348 Windows 10

    Hello, just over a year, we bought a 5348 Inspiron with Windows 8.1 down here in New Zealand. It was OK for a few months and one day I totally messed up because I decided to follow the instructions and update Windows - BIG MISTAKE. The computer was completely messed up. I got help from Dell (Asia-Pacific I guess) at the time, but ultimately confused with reinstalling Windows 8.1 using the Dell recovery program. Dell advice was to reinstall windows and update only once and never again (which seemed strange to me). Anyway, it has been fine since then (without updating).

    My question is about the update of Windows 10 - is this going to be a problem with the Inspiron 5348 which has not been updated in the month? I don't have the notice asking me to update Windows 10 that I've heard, maybe because I did not update since the big problem I've had months ago.

    So I don't forget to try to upgrade to Windows 10? Or would it really an improvement or 8.1 Windows which seems to be rather unstable?

    Cheers, Paul

    I have no problem at all. I'm delighted with my upgrade to win 10. You should be as lucky as me, however, to get a perfect, almost experience judging by messages others have fact. If it's not perfect right from the start, could be that you are in trouble. Therefore, to make these images.

    How not to not upgrade Windows 10

    I went to read messages about it while the upgrade sat in Windows Update (or anywhere where that put it). I told you to wait - call back me later - fully intending to try, after having two images & a clone of 8.1 to win. When I got home, I was a little sick at heart, on the complaints I had read. I do not know now if I clicked accidentally something to start or he started alone - but after about 4 automatic restarts for maybe two hours - everything was fine. I'm thrilled!

    I've lost any ability or the file I had to 8.1 win, I see. Some screens of settings are hard to find, but who has always been so. Things are as quick as ever. Maybe McAfee ceased to update its definitions because of the upgrade. I uninstalled & put my trust in Defender & firewall Windows, which are impressive, especially the firewall. Some very painful events left the observer of events, but news are that someday I'm going to study. But less/nothing is having me worry more material than in Win 8.1, although concern was probably wrong. Event Viewer errors are often false. I have no problem in Win 10 that I did not win 8.1, which was not much. The two 'SFC/scannow' & DISM still declare no error.

    Win 10, we can stop is no longer always the critical updates to enter through Windows Update. So, I hope that your problem is over. You can prevent updates to driver, but it is better, when he didn't need to. I did not personally a.

    I am delighted with Win 10, generation 10240. I hope that's what you will receive, because, finally, I read a news - threshold 2 or Version 1511 - has been withdrawn. It is problematic. I'm going to only when offered through Windows Update, when I trust that bugs are fixed. I have a new series of images & a clone by hand, however.
