Upgrade to Windows 7 on HP 2000-2d49WM bought at Walmart

I am considering buying the 2000-2d49WM currently on sale at Walmart for my wife.  But it comes with Windows 8, which she really hates.  I have an unused Windows 7 Home license.  I could downgrade the laptop for Win 7 after purchase, but I see no Win 7 driver available on the HP site.  That's where I need help - are there drivers Win 7 available anywhere for the hardware inside this laptop?  Thank you!

Hello:

In case you want to install W8 on again your laptop or your downgrade to W7 64 bit does not work as expected, as there is no W7 first make your set of recovery media W8 x 64 driver for your HP laptop support.

Check out this guide on how to do this.

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

Then, you must change a setting in the BIOS of your laptop to be able to install and run W7x64:

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03736054

After you get W7 x 64 installed, the first pilot, you need to install is the chipset driver that is only available from AMD.

You want to download and install only the first folder listed on the Web page.  Then restart.

Then, you can use all the drivers and the software of this HP 2000 model on the link below.

    Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

    In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

  • What are my options for upgrading to Windows 2000.

    It of finally time to update my existing operating system, but do not have the time for a clean installation at the present time.  Can I switch to XP?

    Hi russman9785,

    There are five methods for installing Windows XP. Consider the following methods, and then select the appropriate method for your installation.

    • Method 1: Perform a clean installation of Windows XP
      Use this method for a clean installation of Windows XP. A new installation deletes all data from your hard disk by repartitioning and reformatting your hard disk and reinstall the operating system and programs empty (clean) hard disk.
    • Method 2: upgrade to Windows XP
      Use this method if you upgrade to Windows XP from Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition or Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional.
    • Method 3: Install Windows XP on a new hard drive
      Use this method to install Windows XP on a new hard drive. This is usually done when a new hard drive is installed on your computer.
    • Method 4: Install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation)
      Use this method to install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation) to run two operating systems, or to access, repair, or retrieve data from a damaged disc.
    • Method 5: Perform a multiple boot operation
      Use this method to install Windows XP as a separate operating system on your computer. This allows you to install several operating systems on your computer, then select the operating system you want to use every time that you start your computer.

    Hi all

    I recently installed a mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R SoC V1.004. The game won't start not even, instead, it gives me the following message:

    This application is not compatible with the operating system installed.
    Please upgrade to Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or more.

    I'm under Win 8 64 bit. I have uninstalled and rebooted twice (both game and mod) does not.

    I have to downgrade to XP to be able to play this awesome mod, he ran on this platform with the same configuration before, why he now rejects it know not only the people at Ms.

    Please help if possible

    Thank you very much

    Pierre Viljoen

    Probably, all in all probably is a 16-bit program, and as such does not work on Windows 8.0/8.1 64 bit. In addition, the game seems to have 20 years or more. You can try running in compatibility mode, but I think that the game is dead. Hope this helps and if you need help please post and we will be happy to help you.

  • Satellite Pro 4320 - upgrade to Windows XP Home edition

    I have a 'standard' of Satellite Pro 4320 and plans the upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP - either domestic or professional. Y at - it advice on the problems or things to watch I'm likely to encounter?

    Hi Graham,

    Only problem you may have is that the Toshiba utilities were all designed for Windows 2000 and may not work properly with XP. Downloads available for your laptop have only an update of the BIOS for XP.

    Obviously XP contains device and utility drivers much more generic, so you may find that your system will work very well with the latter. Similarly, you can see that install the original Toshiba utility will work also. I have no definitive evidence either way.

    You can also find you would benefit to increase the RAM since XP uses rather than previous operating systems.

  • Satellite L300D BSOD after upgrade to Windows 7

    I got this laptop (Satellite L300D) for a little more than a year with windows vista (32-bit) running and there were no problems. However, I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 (x 64) and became the problems since the first reboot.

    On the first reboot after installing windows 7, the computer off just after the "Starting Windows" screen Turn on again took me to the repair of the system where he performed a system restore and I was able to start successfully even once. I thought that the problem had something to do with the automatic updates, so I disabled the and tried to restart to see if the problem has been corrected. This time, after the "Starting Windows" screen I got a BSOD of unrecoverable system error. After several attempts to reboot and multiple attempts to repair system (which usually says she didn't) it started correctly again.

    This problem has been going for about 3 weeks now and it is quite irritating. The results of the system of compensation for claims that a "Boot critical file is corrupt", but it starts eventually after several attempts to start. He also has a habit of turning at random during the race (it happens about once or twice a day). So from now on, whenever I chaque fois que je tente tries to start my computer it shuts down after the start screen or give the BSOD and restarts and the only way to make it work seems to be to keep trying to start and hope for a successful boot of the system upward (this happens finally after a few failed attempts).

    I did some research on this and came to [this | 1251 http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?modelFilter=L300D-ST3501&rpn=PSLC8U&category=&selCategory=3&moid=222 & os = & ct = DL & selFamily = 1073768663] page. I think that's exactly what my problem is (need to update the BIOS), but if I understand correctly installing windows to do this only for 2000/xp/vista and I am unable to use the second option to boot from the disc as I get the BSOD before he gets to that point. I should try the windows install option although I am running windows 7 or is there another way to update the BIOS? Or I'm off completely and the problem is with something else?

    I wasn't sure what information I would like to add to this post so if need more information please let me know.

    Thanks in advance

    Edit: Oops, just realized the page I linked is not link to exactly what I had opened. I do not speak of 'critical BIOS updates for Windows 7 64-bit' under 'support form '.

    Hello

    First of all, it would be interesting to know what code BSOD, you get exactly. Can you post this information useful? Normally, on the Microsoft Knowledge Base, you can find additional information about most of the BSOD codes and so you can start to solve this problem.

    BSODS are often associated with drivers or RAM/HDD. The latter, you can check with special diagnostic tools, Memtest86 for RAM and Drive Fitness Test for the HARD drive. These two tools are free and you can find it using Google. You can download an iso image of them to create a bootable media where you can start the test.

    Regarding your update to the BIOS: I put t know what L300D you have exactly, but according to the Toshiba site it shows an update of the BIOS also for Windows 7 64-bit. You can try to install it.

  • Everyone has successfully installed Windows 8 on 369 2000 HP and HP Folio 13 1029WM

    Hi, my name is Ryan! After early June 2012, I bought a HP 2000 laptop computer 369WM and 1029WM Folio 13 HP notebook. Both came with Win 7. Is that what someone has successfully installed Win 8 on these models? If Yes, what is the best procedure to use?

    For example, backup everything, change the bios, disk partition?

    Would it not possible to activate Win 7 or 8 win according to certain applications? Also, I downloaded 8 Win from the Internet using the special $ 14.95.

    The following link will offer you if HP has tested your system for Windows 8:

    The following hyperlink will suggest if your system is compatible with Windows 8:

    If you do not want to use applications preinstalled etc., and that, to have a little patience, I would suggest a clean install.

    If this isn't the case, you can try the inplace upgrade maintaining all software applications, personal files and settings.

    You can have either an operating system or both using dual boot. But this isn't some applications.

  • HP 2000-2d49WM laptop PC: slow Internet connection

    I've dealt with problems with my internet connection for a while now. I first started noticing the issue once we moved and had to switch internet service providers. Before moved us, I was the only one using the wireless, so I never noticed a problem. Now, there are about 6 devices using wifi at some point. Seeing that there are more devices, I thought that the upgrade of the internet would allow a smoother internet experience. I upgraded from 15Mbps to 30Mbps (eventually to 50 Mbps). The connection got faster, but I noticed even a bit of lag from time to time on my laptop. Countless calls to the ISP and many visits by repair technicians at home later, the problem has been resolved. Everything worked fine except for my laptop. Phones and tablets and even the laptop Tech, were running at 54-56Mbps. My laptop? 26 - 32Mbps (using Speedtest.net to check the connection speed, btw). Even directly connected to the modem using an ethernet cord, it was running only about 34Mbps. The repair tech said that he had no idea why only my laptop has been affected by this issue. Now, my connection is anywhere between 20-30Mbps, even lower when others use the wifi.

    So far, I tried to reinstall the wireless network card driver and update drivers (the steps proposed by HP troubleshooting) wireless network. I don't really know what to do about this, at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @AJay_89 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. Thanks for the very detailed post on what you've done so far. Very useful.

    I looked into your problem on your laptop HP 2000-2d49WM and slow wireless connection signal. I would change the channel on the router. Routers are able to communicate to your laptop on several different channels, and sometimes it helps.

    You could disable IPv6 for the laptop. Some say this helps.

    Solve this problem Microsoft Fix it 50413.

    Here is a link to help as well.

    I hope that it helps anything here.
