  • Can Windows 7 Pro install on Windows 8?

    Recently bought a new Dell computer.  To Windows 7 Pro installed but I was told that they cannot sell new units with Windows 8 is installed.  I understand that Windows 8 has no XP compatibility feature which has Windows 7 Pro.  If I install Windows 7 Pro on Windows 8?

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

  • Cannot download or update without admin password

    Hello

    I'm having difficulties to be able to download my photoshop Creative Cloud app. I am already connected, but I can't download or update my adobe programs without providing an admin password that I do not have. It's a company computer and the person who works with that before I experienced the same issues. What should I do to download?

    Best regards, Justina Hull

    Hello

    Unfortunately without the admin password you will not be able to install all software.

    You must have the admin password to install applications.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Your PC is preinstalled with Windows 10. If you delete or overwrite the original Win10 on your PC with Win 7, you will encounter serious problems as there are no HP Win7 drivers for new hardware that comes with new machines.

    MS provides drivers that provide only the basic features.  This means that the functionality of the material is likely to NOT work if you force a downgrade.  Which includes functions such as the touch pad, graphics swtichable, WiFi, USB ports - to name the functions commonly reported here.

    If you want all the features of the machine, you must keep the original version of OS preinstalled.

    Sorry, but if what you need is a PC Win7, you should have bought a Win7 PC.

    Good luck

  • have a pc with windows xp pro installed. can I reinstall the same cd?

    I've given nine pc with Genuine Windows XP Pro pre-installed.  I need to reinstall it. I have same as installed cd. Can I reinstall this cd?

    Sure. As long as you have the key to refurbished product for PC and the CD is the same if it is OEM version by the manufacturer.

    If it's a retail CD, probably will not work with the OEM key.

  • Clean Windows 7 Pro install Pavilion M8517c

    It's time for a change of hard disk.

    Running Win Premium which has been installed as a Vista upgrade by the previous owner.

    There are bugs and problems with this configuration and I would like to start with a clean copy of Win 7 Pro on a new 120 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD for the OS and programs using a new WD Black 1 TB as the data disk.

    ACPI x 64 PC Driver V 6.1.7600.16385

    BIOS 6.1.7601.17514

    Are Intel Core 2 Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz processors.

    Storage controller is Intel ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R / / PCH SATA Raid Driver V 8.9.0.1023

    NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT video card

    Currently has 5 GB of memory which I'm upgrading to 8 MB.

    I am computer literate, not a computer scientist and have done a good amount of home working on logistics for the 2 drive configuration, but I hate surprises.

    Will it get the required specific drivers of HP before installation or the installation of Win 7 disk will take care of this for me?

    I have the system recovery discs, which are for Win Vista OS but I think that they only work for the original Vista installation.

    Thanks in advance

    Here's the original specifications for your desktop HP Pavilion Media Center m8517c. The HP recovery disks only returns the computer to a factory State... including Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit, drivers and HP provided software (BTW, recovery disks cannot install an SSD). If you want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro, skip using the HP recovery discs.

    Some drivers may be installed by Windows 7, and you will need to download the remaining drivers from the manufacturers of different devices. Intel for chipset drivers Realtek for network and HD audio, NVIDIA for graphics drivers, pilots etc. If you have any questions, find the right drivers please post (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • New computer with Windows 7 Pro installed - also came with disks to Windows 8 Pro - what I lose everything?

    I recently bought a new computer. It was announced to come with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. Since the announcement, I assumed that it would be implemented for a dual-boot (something that I have never made or used it before).

    In another section of this community, I have posted a question, "what happens first – the chicken or the Egg," asking if I would like to transfer my data and applications before that upgrade to Windows 8 or after. I received responses almost half a dozen all recommend that I transferred my files prior to upgrade. With the new software of practice by hand and using a cable standard CAT5, I transferred all my files, including data and most of my applications, my old computer to the new computer. The transfer takes about six hours and I had about an hour of work later to install my pst, BOINC, Malwarebytes, etc..

    I decided that today would be the day and I would upgrade to Windows 8. There are three disks to:

    1. the claims & recovery of pilots

    2. system recovery disk for operating

    3 supplemental Recovery Disc

    However, when reading the attached brochure, there is a warning very clear that if I use these discs, I lose all my apps and data and will have to start from scratch. In many previous editions of Windows, I remember using upgrade disks. Recovery disks were what I did when I first installed the new computer.

    So, I ask, this is the only way I can achieve this? Am I condemned to throw seven hours of work? Y there is a place, less painful alternatives?

    Thank you

    Steve

    Unfortunately, this is how the work of recovery discs, they do not operate like retail disk that will give you the ability to dual boot.

    Your options are limited.
