• EliteBook 8440p: elitebook 8440p upgrade of windows 10 mess with boot

  Hello!

  I bought a refurbished elitebook 8440p with pre-installed windows 7, 8 GB of RAM, 2.40 GHz processor.  I continued to refuse the upgrade of windows 10 when he constantly jumped upward and then one day I turned on the computer and it updated in any cases without permission.

  Since the upgrade, if I shut down my computer, or try to put in standby or Hibernate mode, when I go to wake up or put on, I always get a white screen. In general, I have to turn power several times on and off until any startup screen. Then half of the time, when I get a splash screen, my cursor is stuck at the top of the page, moving only left or right whenever I try to move it. So I have to turn and turn until a new screen is displayed.

  I studied how to remove 10 windows and reinstall windows 7. I passed the period of 10 days or 30 days. Media creation tool asks for the product key which I type in the sticker on the bottom of the laptop, but do not pass the verification process saying to contact the manufacturer for help.  Apparently there may be specific drivers or something you took when it improved and the media tool does not allow me to create anything for me to do a clean reinstall of windows 7.

  I tried to find an option after pressing esc at the f11 reset start screen. There was no option to do so. The best I could do was to 'reset' of the computer, but he took back to the original Windows that it is firstly set at level 10 to. All my files are deleted from the computer. I just want to return to Windows 7, but could not find an effective way to do it.

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

• EliteBook 8760W: upgrade of Windows 10 works not

  I am trying to upgrade Windows 7 Pro for Windows Pro 10, with little success.

  I spoke to Microsoft and they advised that my computer (bought in August 2012) cannot have been tested by HP to be compatible with Windows 10. As the computer is out of warranty, I find it difficult to communicate with anyone at HP to verify its ability to upgrade.

  Can you advise me on what my next steps should be?

  • Model: HP EliteBook 8760W

  • Operating system: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, SP1

  • 24 GB RAM
  • 1 Tb SSD
  • Purchased: August 12, 2012

  Thanks in advance

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I've updated several PC Win7 Win10 - and they had all these problems in one way or another... so I wrote this to provide advice to people considering such update...

  You think about the amount of work that you want to post just to run Win10.  Seriously.  Old machine Win7 tend to come in two flavors when it comes to upgrading Win10 - really easy and really difficult.

  The really hard to upgrade computers fall into two categories: (1) those who are expandable to Win10 and works OK, (2) those who are not.

  Computers laptops HP, especially old Win7 machines, often came with two different graphics - and Intel chips and then either a processor AMD or Nvidia.  This was known as switchable graphics card or hybrid.  You have run using the Intel chip most of the time, but when you need additional graphics power, as in the game, the PC automatically switched over to the use of the AMD or Nvidia graphics chip.

  Problem is, this requires special graphics drivers to work, and while that those that are preinstalled on laptops Win7, these drivers simply do not exist for Win10.  These drivers are not available from Intel, AMD or Nvidia.  One way to tell if your PC has two different graphics chips is to look in under Graphics Device Manager.  If there are two different cards in the list, an Intel and AMD/Nividia, then you have this problem - and if you force an upgrade to Win10, you will have serious graphic problems and your machine will not work.

  However, if you do not have this problem, to CAN pass to Win10, but you must be willing to do four things:
  (1) do a full image backup of disk external drive or USB stick, capacity
  (2) changes to the reserved system partitioning hard disk recommandΘes mΘthodes,
  (3) use a different approach and maybe more than one, as Windows Update to do the upgrade,
  (4) prepare for a clean install.

  ---------------------------------
  1: backup of images:
  This is VITAL, because the machine is doomed to failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.

  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
  ---------------------------------
  2: System reserved for resizing:
  There is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own.  IF this happens, you must manually use a partitioning tool to resize it yourself.
  ---------------------------------
  3: use a different approach to upgrade:
  Windows Update is the simpler, but less reliable, way to do the upgrade from Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.

  After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
  ---------------------------------
  4: be prepared to clean-install:
  If you do all this, and after the upgrade, your PC works partially, this means that the upgrade is not well and stuff is still there the previous OS corrupt the functionality of Win10.

  You MIGHT be able to solve the problem in fact a clean install of Win10. Problem is that, often, a clean-install does not recognize prior activation, even if it should. So, before doing the upgrade, follow these instructions on the community forums Win10 on creating a genuineticket.xml file: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/23354-clean-install-windows-10-directly-without-having-upgrade-first.html

  You need more later to activate your pc Win10 after the installation of clean.

  Good luck

• HP Pavilion g7-1375sa Notebook: upgrade of Windows 10 is compatible my laptop wil?

  10 Windows to launch July 29

  I wanted to know, is it safe to upgrade my laptop Windows 10 of Microsoft and what is the best way to do it.

  My system:

  Processor: Intel (R) Pentium (r) CPU 2.20 GHz 2.20 GHz B960

  Installed (live RAM) memory GB 6.00

  System type: 64-bit, x 64 processor operating system

  Also, I have not received the small Windows icon at the right end of the taskbar, to book a free upgrade?

  These small icons come slowly out, so be patient.

  I intend to make an image to the top of my HDD using Macrium reflect free before installing Win 10 just in case something goes wrong.

  There is another link to the Microsoft site to book the upgrade, but the "book now" link isn't properly working, please try this last.

• memory of HP elitebook 8440p upgrade question

  Hi all

  I have a quick question today, in fact I have a Hp Elitebook 8440p with core i5 and 2 GB of ram (samsung 2rx8 pc3-10600).

  and I am running windows 7 x 64 bit.

  so I decided to upgrade memory up to 8 GB and I install 2 x 4 GB (matched pair) (hynix 1rx8 pc3-10600). but it does not work. won't start and loop. and if I put original samsung 2GB new then its job well...

  I tried several times with all possible combinations, but it does not work. and if I go to the bios Setup, it shows 8 GB memory installed in it but can't get thorugh inside.

  I wonder what the problem of 2rx8 and 1rx8? because my old 2rx8 obtained original and new obtained 1rx8 on that...

  I'm really worried about it... Please help me soon... Thanks in advance

  I can't say 100% for sure, but yes, I think that the number of chips of memory to the Board of Directors may indicate density.

  The symptoms you describe indicate a problem of density to a "t".

  Memory shows in the BIOS, but the PC refuses to work with her.

  I suggested this to several others and cause when they bought the memory of lower density with 16 chips to the Board of Directors, their problem has been resolved.

• EliteBook 6930p: upgrade hard drive

  Hi all

  My friend who has the same laptop want me to upgrade the disk hard 1terra Byte. the number p/n is kk082av of current hard drive is 148 GB. I was wondering is it possible for my friend put a hard drive of 1 terra byte or elitebook laptops 6930p limited to a certain amount giga bytes? My friend is planning on installing windows 10 32 bits at a later stage.

  Yes, it will take a 1 to 2.5 inches width 9.5 mm SATA HDD thickness. No problem. Also, he would go to 64-bit Windows 10 and it would be the thing to install if you have more, or 4 GB of memory.

• HP Elitebook 8540p: upgrade of RAM HP 8540p

  Hello

  I have a very special, HP Elitebook 8540p, running Windows 10 pro 64 bit on a processor intel i7 640 M dual core, and I'm confused as to the amount of RAM I can upgrade to.  I read that it can vary from 8 GB to 16 GB and beyond. My laptop has only two memory card capacity. The type of RAM cards are 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM.

  Any help would be fantastic. I'm trying to update my RAM to support the software of CAD 3D, which requires a minimum of 8 GB of ram, but I would like a little more if I could.

  Hello

  A table on page #16, your machine has only 2 slots so its 8 GB strips of RAM DDR3 Physclally Max supports are the same (pins, length,...).

• HP Elitebook 8560w: upgrade

  Good afternoon

  After the purchase of my laptop, I realized that a fake windows 7 Ultimate has been installed on it. Later, I found the key for Windows 7 Pro inside the battery of the laptop. Could I get the original window and the upgrade to windows 10 without losing all my installations?

  Thank you

  I can't support you in any way to go ahead with the fake Windows 7. Yes, you need to reinstall Windows 7 Pro using the correct key Code in order to be legally compliant. The problem is you have today and tomorrow to go to Windows 10 for free and I do nto think that there is anyway you can get a disc of Windows 7 Pro in this time if you already have one available. HP has perhaps some restore disks available for this model, but I don't think that you can get that quickly.

• EliteBook 8540w: upgrade memory RAM EliteBook 8540w

  Hi, I want to upgrade the memory of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) in my laptop. I have 2 slots of memory in the laptop.

  No. my laptop is WD927EA #ARL

  Intel Core i5 processor.

  I bought 2 x 4 GB PC3 - 10600 CL9 204 Pin SODIMM, but it does not work.

  No idea what to buy?

  Here is the Manual:

  Manual 8540w

  It's the 4 listed compatible GB module:

  4 GB (PC3-12800 1600 MHz, DDR3) 641369-001

  The DDR3-1600 is apparently supposed to downclock at 1333 mhz.

  The modules have been listed compatible and had complete specifications, that latency was listed as CL-11, so perhaps the CL-9 latency is the problem with your modules.

• EliteBook 8570w: upgrade the workstation database model Mobile here 8570w

  So, I want to upgrade my EliteBook 8570w.  It was a school issued laptop that I have the opportunity to keep or "modernization" of the year next to the Zbook.  The Zbook we saw, and frankly it's a slope down what I have now.  That being said I'll opt to keep my laptop current, which means that it is in me to do what I want with.

  Because my laptop is a basic model, he has 4 GB of RAM, i5 3320 M Dual Core and AMD M4000 GPU.

  I would get the following items and install them myself:

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/NVIDIA-Quadro-K1000M-2GB-MXM-3-0-type-A-Dell-M4700-W530-HP-8570-N14P-Q1-A2-/...

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/Super-fast-3rd-Gen-Intel-quad-core-I7-3840QM-SR0UT-2-8-3-8GHZ-CPU-/281563022...

  I'll be able to add these parts from the Commission on the stock system?

  Thank you!

  Video card: Yes, CPU: No.

  Here is the Manual:

  Manual

  Page 102 for the replacement of the video card. Just after is the replacement of the processor.

  Your best CPU is an i7 - 3520M dual core. Models of CPU dual core and Quad use a different motherboard. See page 28-29.

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/Intel-Core-I7-3520M-2-9GHz-4MB-socket-G2-Mobile-CPU-processor-SR0MT-/321585741774?PT=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ae000ffce

  The dual core i7 you will save some money and will always be a strong enough upgrade.

  I assume that you already have a SSD but if not to invest your savings in that or the upgrade to 8 GB of RAM at least.

• Omen of HP: HP OMEN 15 Gaming Notebook upgrade

  Hello. I want to ask about the OMEN of HP 15 Playbook.
  I understand that the only upgradable in OMEN is the SSD storage. So the question is, can I put 1 TB SSD in HP OMEN? is it compitable or not?

  Yes, you can install a module of ISS 1 TB SATA M.2 in there, BUT the access panel is identified with a 'joint' rubber which needs to be removed and will most likely get destroyed in the process, and replacements are impossible to find on the market. I had the 256 GB version of the Omen and I have usually no Ben to open a laptop, but I did not touch the omen because I knew that I could not find the joint for sale anywhere.
