• Windows 8 and Windows 7 64-bit drive Possible? laptop

  Well, unfortunately, I downloaded windows 8 and not knowing that I completely itself installed on my previous operating system. (Win7 Home Premium) I lost the disk I got with my laptop so I can not re - install windows 7 and see how I thought it was unfair for me to spend another 100 euros or so on it I was wondering if I could get possibly another windows 7 disc sent to me. I think it would be better if a member of the staff of hp itself could answer my question.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  Nobody works for HP will answer your request on this forum in an official capacity.

  You can buy a recovery for your PC disk by reading the info on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334

  Otherwise, I have a solution that is better than nothing if you don't want to order recovery disks.

  Download the ISO file of the version of Windows 7 that is located on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC. There are also the version in the language of your original operating system to PC provided with.

  For example, if your tile is windows 7 Home premium and that the language was Danish, select Download 32 or 64-bit windows 7 Home premium - Danish file.

  Burn the file to a DVD using a program that can burn ISO files so that you can boot from the DVD.

  Install Windows 7. Then use the product key 25 character on the sticker COST microsoft on the bottom of your PC to activate the installation.

  Then pass it the HP support and the driver page for your laptop and install all the drivers you need.

• Satellite T230 - Downgrade Windows 7 64 bit to 32 bit

  Hello

  Can you please help. Just a week before I bought the Toshiba Satellite T230-10j. The laptop comes with Windows 7 64-bit edition. It has the recovery partition and no other support provided with the same. Is it possible to downgrade from 64-bit to 32-bit OS. If so can someone please provide the *.wim image. There are a many applications doesnot support 64 - bit os and the only way for me would be the Windows 7 32 bit.

  Can someone guide me how to proceed further with this.

  Kind regards

  Hi mate

  As much as I know the laptop won't was delivered with any disk recovery because you could create a clean recovery disc image using the Toshiba Recovery creator software that was preinstalled on your laptop.

  In addition if you want to downgrade the Win 7 64 bit to 32 bit then you will need to purchase the 32 bit version.

• How can I downgrade from Windows 8 64-bit for Win8 32 bit on my HP Envy?

  Bought the HP Envy for my children, but their favorite a few months ago game requires a Java Update, which is not available for 64-bit Windows 8. We waited for an update is available, but it looks like it will take another few months...

  So we decided to restore the system and wanted to change to 32 bit. Unfortunately, during the restoration there was no option to select 32-bit instead of 64-bit.

  What can we do to downgrade successfully to 32-bit on Windows 8?

  afgorkids,

  Welcome to the HP Forum.

  I admit that I might be missing your point, so bear with me...

  Why only I get the 32-bit JRE when I go to Java.com?

  Java.com offers a version of Java based on your browser and operating system (OS). If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows 8, you have access to 32-bit versions and 64-bit Internet Explorer 10 on your system. The desktop version of Windows 8 operating system does not run in 64-bit mode (unless you have improved in Internet Explorer 10 on Protected Mode), Java 32-bit is the default value.

• Pro, All in One 3520 - Downgrade Windows 7 64 bit to 32 bit

  Hi all

  I have a Pro all in one desktop PC 3520 with Windows 7 64 bit pre-installed, for some reason, I think to downgrade the os to the 32-bit version.

  Is it supported? Need a new Windows license (32-bit version) to reinstall the OS?

  Thank you for you in advance for your support.

  Stefano

  To answer your questions

  (1) is it supported? -from this page , it appears that 32-bit is not

  (2) it is necessary a new Windows license (32-bit version) to reinstall the OS? -No, the license key will work with both versions.

  I'm really curious why it's coming.  A Windows operating system, pre-installed, work goes to the function.  What is proposed may not work, so why mess with it?

• Windows 7 64 bit - need 32-bit Downgrade

• Windows 7 64 bit OEM downgrade to 32 bit - Dell send me disks!

  Hi all

  I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic 64-bit pre-installed, but I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Basic 32 bit as one of my critical applications does not work on Windows 7 64 bit.
  The laptop came with only the 64-bit installation disk.
  I read in other responses (for example, this one) that I should ask the 32-bit disk from Dell so I phoned Dell today, explained the situation and my request, but they said that they are unable to send me the 32 bit Disc.
  My question:
  Can I install Windows 7 Home Basic 32 bit on the laptop using media besides (retail, another disc of universal OEM installation or DIY) and use my current OEM license key? Is this legal?
  As far as I understand it, your media source is not relevant, what is important is to install the same version (for example. Home Basic) and use a valid key for this version and in the case of an OEM key for this computer?
  I searched these forums and the web for hours trying to find a definitive answer without a bit of luck.
  Thank you very much!

• Windows XP 32-bit on dv4-1117nr installation

  I am trying to install Windows XP 32-bit on dv4-1117nr, who initially installed Windows Vista 64-bit.

  However, whenever I start using the XP installation CD, it shows the Blue error screen and asks me to restart.

  Is there something wrong in the process?

  Thanks in advance.

  These instructions are from the user "answertome".

  The video is in Italian, but just pay attention to the screen, I was able to follow the instructions and make it work.

  Like the previous user said, you will need to format your hard drive, all first as well.

  first of all, you must have a regular o XP Professional licence. Vista Home is not inlcude the right to downgrade to XP.

  When you have your XP CD, if you try to install youi will have a screen of wheat with the code error: ERROR STOP 0xX0000007B. This because the Microsoft XP CD is missing from the AHCI driver for the SATA drive controller.

  You must add the AHCI driver on the XP cd using nlite software.

  the steps you need to do are:

  (1) download and install Nlite from site nliteos.com web

  (2) downlaod driver AHCI from HP ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp39501-40000/sp39786.exe

  (3) If you don't know how to use nlite, just look at the little clip that you can find here http://www.filecloud.com/files/category.php?user_category_id=283210

  You can see 2 clips:

  (1) add SATA driver by controller ICH9 (intel Montevina) .avi-> This shows how to add only the driver AHCI (a few words in Italian)

  2) integrareSP3_e_SATA_AHCI_finale_con_audio_e_logo2.avi--> This shows how to add the SP3 and the driver AHCI (audio in Italian, but you can understand it enough to see the video)

  When you have your new CD with SATA/AHCI driver, you will be able to install XP on your laptop

• Installation of Windows 7 64 bit on Envy M6-1205dx - I'm screwed for now...

  I just want to M6-1205dx... First thing I did was bust on my CD of Windows 7 64-bit... I enabled legacy mode so that it can boot from CD... I deleted all but the recovery partition (thinking it would allow me to go to Windows 8 I if desired)... I install W7, and then he got all the way to the end of the installation and gave error "" windows cannot configure at installed on this hardware "and won't be finished...»

  Then, I discovered that it is not a recovery (must have need of one of the other partitions I deleted) and given that manufacturers no longer include media (all the cents.35 it cost them) I'm totally screwed...

  I really wish I had loaded W7, but if that's impossible, I would put 8 on!

  Who may be of concern,

  I'm Felix of Indonesia.
  I bought a used laptop Toshiba L755 in Indonesia of Indonesian citizen who has never put this phone in Indonesia.

  Because of the availability of software that wasn't installed on my laptop, I downgrade my Windows 7 Home premium OEM 64 bit for Windows 7 32-bit operating system. I spoke with representatives of the Indonesia, they told me that I must ask the OS from Toshiba Software in UAE UNITED (origin of the laptop).

  I really need some advice because I can get (doenload) this Windows 7 HP 32 bit.

  Kind regards

  Can you please post exact phone model or part number. You can find information about Toshiba sticker placed on the bottom of your machine.

  Using this part number, we can check Toshiba UAE download page and make sure that Win7 32-bit drivers are available or not.

• Try to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit

  After upgrading to Vista Home 32 bit to Windows 7 Home 64 Bit for a test with my software:

  It will be possible to downgrade to Windows 7 32 Bit or to install with this updated DVD?

  Or will I have to get back to Vista 32 Bit and upgrade to Win 7 32 bit?

  Thanks for the tips

  Post edited by: toshregensburg

  Hello

  To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly.

  You can only change Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit. An upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit OS is not possible! Therefore, you must make a clean and new installation.

  If you want to go back to Vista, you must use the Toshiba Recovery disk or disk Microsoft Vista.
