Upgrade Windows 7 to 8.1 Pro for HP Envy 810 - 145qe (J0X43AAR #ABA)

I just bought a HP Envy Phoenix 810-145qe which is preinstalled with Windows 7.  Specifically, I bought this system because it was faster than my old desktop processor and I could spend 24 GB memory to 32 gb that I did.

I went to the HP site and checked if this model has been tested by HP that came back had not been tested with Windows Pro 8.1.  Can someone tell me if I've stuck with Windows 7 on this new machine?  I really need to have Windows Pro 8.1 because I develop e-Learning programs that need to be tested in an environment Windows OS 8.1. Please notify.

Hello

I don't see a problem with the installation of Windows Pro 8.1 on the 810-145 envy.  HP has released drivers for Windows 8.1. There is little difference between Windows 8.1 and Windows Pro 8.1.

  1. Check with the manufacturers of your application to make sure that you don't have a problem with Windows 8.1
  2. Run Microsoft Windows 8 upgrade assistant
  3. Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media.
  4. Back up your data and also download drivers HP Windows 8.1 posted on external media.
  5. Buy licensed Windows 8.1 and download Microsoft support.  The Microsoft download process will allow you to create a bootable USB flash drive or an optical medium.  I would recommend that you download the ISO support and then create the desired boot media.
  6. Follow these instructions from Microsoftto install Windows 8.1.

I know for a fact that this isn't an option with Movie Maker and I just got Adobe Premiere and it doesn't seem allow you to do that. Are their options for Windows?

    Hello

    Is the path to upgrade Vista to 8.1 > upgrade to 7 > then upgrade to 8.1, which would be ridiculously expensive.

    There is no direct upgrade path from Vista to 8.1

    For you to move from Vista to 8.1, it is performed by a clean install, which means that you must save your data on an external support > pure install 8.1 > then copy your data back and reinstall your programs.

    Microsoft wrote the information on how to do it:

    Note: Tests of Windows 8.1 Preview (warning)

    It was clear that test the preview Windows 8.1 will not as simple and involve certain prerequisites.

    Do not install it on a machine or production start-up disk.

    Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager Michael Niehaus reiterated this message in the RT in the session of the company Tuesday. When the preview 8.1 is available, Windows 8 and Windows RT users will receive a notification from Windows Update. This update will trigger the new bits will appear in the Windows store, where potential testers will be able to read the description and choose to install or not.

    Once the final versions of Windows 8.1 are available, after their release to manufacturing, those who have downloaded the preview will get the same Windows Update and the Windows Store notification. While their data and their accounts will be kept if and when they choose to install version 8.1 free, final, all their applications must be reinstalled, said Niehaus.

    Even if the testers are opting instead to restore their Windows 8 devices after you install the bits of the preview, they will still have to reinstall their applications once they move to the RTM of Windows 8.1 version.

    Windows 8 users who do not install the preview build and opt instead to go directly from Windows 8/Windows RT for Windows 8.1 will not reinstall their applications. All parameters, data and applications will be postponed, a spokesman said when I asked. Users will be able to decide when and if they want to switch from Windows 8 and Windows RT to the 8.1 versions, officials stressed.

    See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of an installation of Windows XP here using Acronis True Image here

    Alternatively, you can use for backup of Windows XP is Easeus backup, JW Stuart also has an article about it here

    These same principles should work for the people who are running Windows Vista.

    If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be very handy in case of failure of your installation of Windows 8. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

  • Pavilion p6-2133w: upgrade Windows 10 Pro activation after replacing the processor and motherboard

    I upgraded a Pavilion P6 W10 Pro in September. Everything was going well until the motherboard and processor failed. When I replaced the hardware I am prompted to activate Windows - I have the product key for Windows 7 Home Prem OA office machine that does not work for W10 Pro. I don't know how W10 Pro ran six months and support MS insists I do decline to W10. Two questions.

    1 how W10 differ from the W10 Pro?
    2. How is this W10 Pro could have been improved in Windows 7 Home Prem OA? Looks like a decoy on the BONE.

    Greetings,

    The replacement of the mother/CPU card can be extra monkey wrench in this situation.

    You cannot use a key of Win 7 Home on Win 10 Pro.

    You will need to install Win 10 and then move on to Win 10 Pro. Win 10 going to Win 10 percent if you had an activated copy of win 10 Pro.

    1. other features such as BitLocker and domain join.

    2. I have no idea how you've gone from Win 7 Home win 10 Pro. Were you a BETA-Tester (Windows Insider program)? I upgraded from Win 7 to win 10 Pro, because I was a BETA-Tester,

    I just did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro but ignored the input of the product key. Windows activated, but not right away.
