TouchSmart 300-1360: restoration of windows 7 Windows 10
My question relates to the possibility of recovering the touchsmart drivers removed when I upgraded to 10 Windows and Windows 7. The opportunity to recover Windows 7 via the given windows 10 reset option is now gone. But I have a set of recovery discs, so I just noticed that the upgrade to window 10 didn't delete the recovery partition which was rebuilt by the recovery disks. I was surprised (shocked actually) to see that he was still there.
I am courious if I have the possibility to reset the orginal via the recovery partition/recovery discs this touchsmart or Windows 10 there a way to stop this process. I'm not unhappy with the new OS, however if I end up selling this computer, I wish I had this information, if required.
I guess I have everything that I need to restore the settings to factory, but Windows 10 has I treated a few surprises in the past. A Word from HP Experts will confirm or refute this hypothesis.
Thank you for your advice,
Ambico
I've seen it go either way. Some report of members that they have managed to return to Windows 7 and others had a lot of problems. If the recovery partition is not working properly, you should be able to do the recovery. I would like to know the result if you try.

HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14-n013: restoration of Windows
Since I upgaded to 10 Windows, the functionality of my laptop has negatively affected - sleep and restart no longer work, touch screen has now ceased in funcitoning, etc..
I want to reinstall Windows 8, which my laptop came installed with, but do not have a product key. Micfrosoft say that they can't help without the product key, and John Lewis who I bought it in January 2014 say they cannot provide a key and suggested to contact HP.
I hesitate to do a reset factory, duty to save and reload then all my data and software.
Where can I find the product key for the Windows 8 operating system originally installed on my PC? WIndows 8 is more recoverable so I'll have to download it from the Microsoft site, but are in need of a product key.
Using this utility, you can retrieve your product key in the UEFI firmware on the motherboard: download Windows OEM product key 1.0.0.1 tool
Good luck

TouchSmart 300: need for the windows operating system disk 7
I have a desktop model 300-1020 all-in-one (purchase of 2009). The hard drive has bad sectors and I get warnings to save and change hard drives. I'll have an SSD installed but do not have a way to transfer the OS to the new drive. Goasting drive is not possible. Can HP send me a copy of the floppy disk to the operating system installed?

HP 300-1360: reset HP 300-1360 with windows 10
Hi all
I recently bought a HP 300-1360. I intend to do a factory reset, but the HP Recovery partition content has been removed. D: is still there but shows 14.6 GB of free space left 14.7 GB. I downloaded windows 10 who intend to use this recovery as reset tool, but now I don't know if it's the best way to go. Looks like I might lose much or all of the features of HP using this recovery. There is no files on this computer and yet so not concerned on this issue. A few features. The question and the questions are therefore:
(1) a windows 10 restore will remove actually all HP applications. (I feel that the answer is Yes but if necessary, to ask in all cases)
I wonder if I should have bought a recovery CD set and done the factory reset before I take on windows 10.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Ambico
Personally, I would buy the HP's HP recovery media. Here's a guide to help you. This will give you a protection for the future and make the upgrade to win 10 much easier. Once you install Win 10, you must run HP and Windows updates to make sure that all software and drivers are up to date.

The Touchsmart 300 clear for resale (don't have no Windows discs)
I have a TouchSmart 300 and you want to sell and if you need to restore it to factory settings and do a thorough cleaning of the memory of the passwords, data personal, etc. The problem is I do not remember how I've implemented the pc originally, i.e. If I just turned on it and it is good to go or if I had install disks and can not find.
How could I go to achieve this goal, so I can sell it with confidence that all my data has been erased?

TouchSmart 300: Windows 10 no sound
Hello
I have upgraded to windows 7 to 10 and have now no sound. I tried to update the audio driver which is updated but still no sound. ideas please
Without your specific model number, I can't check for your PC, but I checked several Touchsmart 300 models and the problem is that your driver is NOT updated - and cannot be updated. Why? Because HP does not provide the Win10 for the Touchsmart 300 pilots.
If you follow the instructions in the thread and post your detailed model number, I can check for your model: find your model of HP product number. HP® customer support
But fundamentally, the problem that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 driver for your laptop. HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.
Here are a few alternatives to pilot, you can continue...
You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139
You can also try following the instructions in this thread: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04763435/
If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293
If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

TouchSmart 300 Windows 7, re - install on hard drive replacement problem. Help!
I have official restore for my Touchsmart 300 disks and try to get it back on a hard drive, which I took from another machine. Drive hard said have left include Win 7 and Win XP. When I try to boot from the recovery CD, I am taken to the old hard drive Artemision boot menu, not the installation of the recovery disc. If I continue on this path there, I get an error message and a suggestion from my hard drive is damaged. Repair disk option can fix anything. Recovery Console doesn't help either. Why the CD read and overwrite all the old stuff on the hard drive?
It is a good idea.
They can have tools or diagnostic we individuals have no which can isolate the cause.

HP Touchsmart 300-1020 system restore
Hello, I have a PC HP Touchsmart 300. I recently sent in for repair and it works very well for a few months. They replaced the motherboard and the hard disk. My brother somehow got some malware on the PC so I decided to do a system restore on it. Whenever I do a restoration of one of the discs of recovery or the recovery partition, it gives me an error saying: Recovery Manager cannot restore your computer by using the image with. Please contact HP support. Error code: 0xe0ef0003. What can I do to solve this problem and to restore?
Hello
I don't think your recovery partition can be damaged and the only option for you is to order the Kit of the RRS from HP in order to restore your windows to original state.
You are still able to get into windows? If so, try to create the RRS Kit, if you can't, try to order the Kit by using the information that I posted below.
Read this before ordering your recovery discs! (United States and Canada only) -
I am in yahoo mail and there is a window that has the windows displayed and I can click on one of the images of a window and it will restore the window how to access this window (size full one who possesses a collection of previous windows in a complete graph/no format)?
The window that I write the topic is a collection of previous windows images in a smaller size.Firefox has a feature to view all your open tabs in one or more groups of tabs. You can show and hide this screen by pressing Ctrl + Shift + e. Is this the one you see, or something different?
If you ended up with more than a group of tabs and you want to consolidate them, you can drag the thumbnail images all in one group.
More information: use tab groups to organize a large number of tabs.

I went to one of my FCPX library and deleted some files. Also, I took all my FCPX libraries and place them in a folder. Something tells me that it is a 'no-no' because after my FCPX started acting weird. Then when you restart my FCPX he stuck to "restore the window layout" and a gray screen. I found the support page for this particular problem, but I can't find 'library' in my menu 'go '. Can someone help me?
I was opening a backup library - usually located in the folder of Final Cut backups in movies.

I did a restore of windows xp home 64-bit but not recover my registry key. How can I get the key?
There is no such thing as Windows XP 64-bit Edition. OEM machines are supposed to have a sticker with the product key on the computer somewhere. You never did a full backup or an image of the disc on another drive? If so, the key can be retrieved from the backup or image.
