• Updated T430s to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro wanting to downgrade to Windows 7 (without Windows.old)

  Lenovo T430s 2355A 16

  Here's my problem.

  Preinstall Windows 7-> Recovery media creadted-> upgraded to Windows 8-> Windows.old folder have been deleted-> trying to downgrade to Windows 7 using Recovery-> failed to retrieve media!

  Are there other ways that I could go back to Windows 7? All I have is the engraved on DVD recovery media.

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  As you mention that you created the recovery media and it fails to restore your system with Win7 preload delivered, I would recommend that you contact the Service, let them know that your created set failed to work and ask that they provide you with a set of factory recovery DVDs. The details are below.

  Hope that helps you get things sorted.

  Kind regards.

• HP Envy 15-K204NA: upgrade to Windows 10 has failed with error 80070714. Help, please!

  Hello.

  I hope there, can someone help me!

  I tried several times to improve my HP Envy 15-K204NA for 64-bit Windows of 8.1 to 10 Windows Home, but she continues to fail with the error code 80070714.

  I use Protection Premium Bullguard and Acronis True Image installed.

  When I run the upgrade from a DVD burned ISO, it gets 37% and fails.

  Hope you can help. (fingers crossed!)

• Difficult problem upgrading Vista/Windows 7 for anyone who dares to try to help me to solve it. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS!

  My computer is a few years old, but has always been a good thing. I have a Gateway P6831FX laptop. It came with Vista pre-installed, but also many devices hardware upgrade card high quality graphics, monitor, sound system, etc. because it was built for the high-quality games.  Unfortunately, my OS system crashed and the computer did not come with recovery discs (gateway said that I should order the discs on their part and that I had to pay for them. Which shocked me because when I bought the computer I paid for a license to the BONE so you would think they would send the recovery discs I free).  However, I recently bought a disc to upgrade to windows 7 because I was planning on upgrading my system before it crashed.  So with a computer, I couldn't use, I thought that I had nothing to lose and I decided to try to load my system windows 7 on the computer.  I put the disc in the drive and load windows 7 with no problems at all.  I don't know if I've checked all the right boxes when he asked all sorts of questions, but my big computer worked when I was tired.  I had to go online and download the driver for the webcam to webcam would work once again and I lost all programs preloaded but other than that everything seems to work fine.  But then all of a sudden the sound no longer works.  I turned off the computer and turn it back on and the sound was back on.  But a few hours later, the noise stopped working again and it keeps going.  It is when I reboot it, but it is becoming a chore.  I decided that I would try to fix it and I went into the Device Manager and I discovered something to worry about. All original equipment upgraded in the computer is no longer registered.  All that was there was listed as generic devices Microsoft and number of manufacturer information and model said: not available. The monitor, for example, is listed as 'No generic PnP Monitor'.  Everything updated, so that I paid extra watch now simply known as generic peripheral windows (with a date of installation date that I loaded windows 7).

  Is there anyway to retrieve the updated materials and programs without having to order and pay for the vista recovery discs?  If I have to, I'll have to erase windows 7 then reload vista with recovery disks and then reload again the upgrade to windows 7?  However, one thing that baffles me is that when I pull my hard drive it shows that I have 2 here.  It shows 1 Partition (C) and (D) recovery so I think that my original vista system with the hardware upgraded and programs is still in my computer somewhere in the recovery disc (D) but I can not understand how to access and I tried.  And if for some reason any I can never access or recover, I would like at least to remove it because it takes up a ton of space on my hard drive.  If anyone can understand what I'm trying to say here, that's where somehow you can help me understand cela stuff?  Thank you for your time.

  Hello

  Gateway put a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from rather than providing records.

  It's the way it's done now and you are also supposed to make recovery disc from it, that you can not do until you reinstall Vista now.

  If the recovery Partition: D still works, we do not know as you have installation, etc. on this laptop.

  You need to try.

  Reinstall Vista > and then upgrade to Windows 7.

  .

  Here is the information on the bridge for learn you more about reinstalling Vista.

  Full factory for the gateway restore, which you will always be able to use...

  https://support.gateway.com/s/software/Microsof/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml

  And once you reinstall Vista you go to the site of the bridge or from the hardware manufacturer (that you upgraded material initially) Support Web site > download drivers and software Section > equip your laptop model number or the hardware and operating system > and download the latest drivers for the notebook hardware.

  http://support.gateway.com/product/?cmpid=supportnav

  And also when Windows 7 is installed then you will need to go to this same site gateway or the hardware manufacturer (that you upgraded material initially) and download the latest Windows 7 drivers for it also.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If the recovery partition is damaged ask gateway if they provide the disc of recovery for you.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  p.s. That's what you should have done before you start the upgrade to Windows 7.

• I am unable to get the computer manufacturer to send the disc to reinstall Vista. I tried to do this task almost 3 weeks. I need to reinstall Vista so that I can upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. Please help me. I have the product code.

  I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I try to install the 64-bit version.  Info on other forums says there is no way to do it without a disk... I do not have with the computer.

  To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do with a FULL 64-bit version, by performing a clean install. so I don't see what the problem on Vista reinstall is.

  Unless you have Vista 64 bit, it will not help you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• HELP Please, combatability problems who upgraded to windows 10

  I am running Windows 7pro.

  After my first attempt to upgrade to Windows 10 it seemed to take and I was happy with the results. After about 2 half days, he began to show my hard drives, software was not compatible with "Intel Rapid Storage Technology or HP 3d DriveGuard technology.

  I tried to reinstall the software, but it did not help.  After stopping for the night I started my system the next morning to see that it was not to find any OS and doing together pre tests, I realized one of my hard drives has been damaged.

  Not only was my OS went he destroyed one of my hard drives! I spent over 150.00 to return a little of my normal computer.

  I guess that Windows 10 never "will be" on my computer, but would like to know if others have similar problems.

  But my story can help others with similar systems or software and the upgrade can transmit until the problem with compatibility

  problems with the software is fixed.

  Thank you

  I put this under the hardware and drivers, but it's a software problem. I'm always looking for another software that is compatible with my hard drives and the HP 3D DriveGuard.
