Dear customer,
Welcome and thanks for posting your question on the Forum of Support HP
Looks like you have some confusion to choose between different operating systems
First you I want to say that all of these operating systems are based on the same platform. To be very honest, it's a delicate
situation to respond, because the choice depends from person to person
Windows 8 offers a complete experience of different compared to Windows 7 and you might little difficult to obtain adjusted if you are use to Windows 7. For beginners, I would say that Windows 7 is very user friendly. Please go through the hardware specifications of your laptop to choose between 32-bit and 64-Bit operating system.
Hope this helps, for other queries in response to the post and feel free to join us again

This file is not known to me and usually something like that should not appear if install you the software in the correct order.
Before you start to install the Toshiba software you need to install the Toshiba value added for Windows 7 package!Only if this PPV was installed and restarted laptop, you can follow with other tools.
> 2 - you have hwsetup software preinstalled on Win8, but I couldn't find this sw / even Win8 to the download pages where Toshiba can get this sw fly because it gives the possibility to configure the BIOS without waiting for the start?
Driver package system that is available to win 8 is NOT available for Win 7.
Instead of system driver you have installed to VAP!> 3 - I see that the battery is used while I left my camera on Hibernate.

Any comments? Option Charge & sleep, but also other options like the Wake Up LAN or keyboard may discharge the battery. So in case you n t want that, disable it in the BIOS
> 4 - if I buy Toshiba online recovery support, this will help me to install Win8 as first boot and create the partitions deleted as in "factory condition".

Intel HD Driver issues to the decommissioning of Win8 to Win7
Hi guys,.
I currently have a bunch of machines Pro3500MT HP that came preinstalled with Win8 on them, and after checking with HP, they stated that their compatibility to be downgraded to run on Win7.
The installation works fine up until the point where Intel HD drivers are installed and this causes the pc to BSOD with IRQ isn't equal error. (I'll add the dump shortly files)
Has anyone had this experience with these machines?
Hello:
I've seen situations on the other business office HP PC where this occurs when you install W7 (no SP1), and then try to install the drivers before the W7 SP1 update.
If that's what you were doing, the solution is to install W7, update SP1 before you install all the drivers, and it should work.
If this is not your situation, then I would try the video driver Intel HD directly from Intel.

I bought a laptop with Win8 installed 64. It is not a touch screen. I want to erase Win8 and go with Win7 64. What if any are the problems I have to face? The processor is AMD E2-1800, 8 GB of RAM, 500 MB HD
Erase the HD, then start the Win7 installation whatsoever?
Thanks for the reply,When I asked about getting the drivers I was talking about the Win7 installation disc.
Let me say it this way. I do not return back to Win8 should install Win7. That said, if I zap the HD, buy a copy of Win7 64 can I install and use this laptop?Microsoft does not manufacture nor supported (produce drivers/software for) your material. If you want drivers that allow equipment of your machine and attached to your computer to communicate properly with any operating system, you choose to run, you must go the manufacturer of the components and get these drivers.

Hi all,
I want to downgrade my Z930 Satellite of Windows 8 for Windows 7 pro.
Is this possible?
Y at - it all drivers for Win7?What should I do?
I did 3 (DVD) system recovery disk, I can now begin the Downgrade process?TIA
HolfitIt is possible, why not
To check this:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2B03F30002R01.htmYou need to make the necessary changes in the BIOS. Disable secure startup, and then assign him to UEFI MSC mode
> Are there any drivers for Win7?
Look here:
http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU> I did 3 (DVD) system recovery disk, I can now begin the Downgrade process?
If you have the recovery disk, you will be able to put the computer laptop back to factory settings.
This allows you to use 8 to win again. -
2000-2c29W HP: downgrade HP 2000-2c29W of Win8 for Win7
I know I need to reformat the hard drive before installing Win7. What else do I need to know for an installation without problem on this model?
Thank you.
It seems that the disc while it is formatted in NTFS is still in GPT and MBR format.
Have you also convert the disk to GPT on the MBR?
You can use this free bootable tool that is supposed to be able to convert GPT on the MBR disks then you can format the MBR disk with the NTFS file system.

Control keys works do not, Win8 to Win7 downgrade. HP envy j011dx
I have a HP Envy j011dx provided with Edition (64b9t) to the home page of Windows 8. I put in an SSD and improved RAM and installed Win 7 Pro(64bit). Everything is working great except control keys do not work. When I hit the left ctrl key, I get [9 - and CTRL right, I get, l;]
I have searched and tried a few different drivers looked at messages on the demotion to 7 and have not seen anything on this issue. I ran all the updates of windows and tried several different drivers. I put the old HD with W8, and it works if it is not a hardware problem. I looked at the origin of this post before doing the downgrade and it gave me the confidence to move forward with implementing Win7 on. I have until Friday to take this back to the store if I can't make it work. Any help would be appreciated. I also checked the region/language settings.I discovered what it was! Hallelujah! Good so I uninstalled and reinstalled Win7 Pro like 8 times. The driver IDT High - Definition (HD) is that he was causing.
Finally, I noticed that when I hit the left CTRL mute volume was turn. Then when I hit the button Mute ctrl will work correctly. Mute on this subject would not work. Mute off it would work. I unsintalld the driver and re-installed several times to ensure that it is definitley the origin of the problem. Keys mute and volume were workign regardless if the driver has been installed. I was making reference to article http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Downgrade-HP-ENVY-15-j011dx-to-windows-7-need-help-finding/td-p/3768928 to get the rest of the drivers. WEIRD question but it is the IDT Audio, 1.0.6491.0 Version 6.10.6491 Rev: A SoftPaqNumber: SP4958 that was originally there. It's SP4958.exe. Whooo! It was a guy. I'm so happy that I found it. I like really a few Windows 7. Not looking navigation on Windows 8 and 8.1 at all!

Can switch you from Win8 to Win7
First, Windows 7 is an upgrade of Windows 8...
I bought a Thinkpad T530 with Windows 8. Is it possible to wipe the Win8 OS and install Windows 7? And if so can I still get updates driver and stuff like that? What are the benefits and the thank you idiots
Matt
Welcome to the forum!
It is certainly possible to abandon W8 for W7 and T530 is fully supported when it comes to drivers and applications.
Personally, I don't see a cons - only cradle YMMV.

I recently bought a laptop powerful with win8.
Managed to do play demanding game F1 2010.

Toshiba Satellite Pro R-50 b Win8.1 - win7
Hi all
I need help.
My company sold a Satellite Pro R-50 b to a customer.
This laptop has windows pro 8.1.
The sale has been made with the option to downgrade from windows 8.1 pro to windows 7 pro.
The customer needs to windows 7 because the 8.1 does not work with other software in its business.
Now my question is:
-Where is the possibility to come back? How can I do?I tried the 'hidden partition recover', but it still gives me an option: windows 8.1.
The recovery cd = windows pro 8.1Any help?
Best regards to all
Luis MartinsHi Luis,.
If it's a new machine, chances are that the laptop has been configured with a license (OEM) from the beginning and Windows 8.1: the machine then knows nothing about Windows 7.
If the laptop is not was aligned for an upgrade of Windows 10 before July 29, this free option is is no longer available.If it absolutely must Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), I think you're looking at a new installation of W7. In this case, I would probably opt for a dual-boot configuration,
leaving 8.1 W tact for the future, when the software uses your customer becomes 8.1/10 compatible with windows and Microsoft can lead to another case of upgrade.
You would need in my opinion, a license key W7 Pro 'available' and a version commercial of the W7 Pro installation media, but who should not visa costs full price.All the best
