• Paid the Downgrade Option using Dell?

  I called Dell technical support earlier and asked about my current OS (2012 R2) Server 2008 R2 downgrade. I learned that I had not chosen a field of eligibility of decommissioning over my car and so I would be able to downgrade for free.

  I have just deleted and thanked the technician for his help and proceeded at the end of the call it. I do not understand that the free option is out of the question and whether he was interested or not Dell offers an option to buy a copy of their OEM Server 2008 R2 with a license that I would be able to use to downgrade my system.

  I had thought to buy just 2008 R2 from an online retailer, but fear that the compatibility problems as not having does not have access to the tools for Dell to load their servers.

  Any thoughts on this is welcomed and appreciated.

  Thank you.

  2012 R2 Standard may be downgraded to 2008 R2, no matter where and how you got it and regardless of whether or not Dell can / will do it for you.

  The ONLY thing that downgrade made for you when buying a Dell server is you entitles to installation of MEDIA for the downgrade.

  You have NO need to Dell support to perform the downgrade, but do not have certainly complicates the process. To exercise your right of demotion, you must have a valid license of 2008 R2 key to activate. Remember that this key is ONLY for the purpose of activation; 2008 R2 will remain properly allowed after activation by inherent to the 2012 R2 license downgrade rights. The key can be OEM, retail, MSDN, etc. AND can be used on another system (and will continue to be valid after activation on the other machine).

  There's a chance you have to contact Microsoft to activate by phone, and in some cases, I've heard, it will give you a key to activate the downgrade after checking the license, but that will probably be more difficult to do it yourself.

  If Dell offered an option to buy a copy of their OEM Server 2008 R2 with a license that I would be able to use to downgrade my system.

  They do not. You don't want anyway. If you buy the OS separately, buy retail so it can be transferred as needed.

  sirpardon

  I had thought to buy just 2008 R2 from an online retailer, but fear that the compatibility problems as not having does not have access to the tools for Dell to load their servers.

  There is no compatibility issues in doing so. Dell doesn't have its own version of Windows. The difference of ONLY between Dell installation media and credits/retail media is branding (activation, technical support information, backgrounds, etc.). However, as noted, there is no need to buy 2008R2, like 2012 R2 gives you the right to run 2008 R2, if Dell decided to help you or not.

  I personally contact your TAM or sales representative and tell him you want to go back and reorganize (if, in the back window). Working with a TAM, I guarantee you 'almost' he will send you the support you need, even if it must charge "filter replacement" you the customary law of $20 or something, but it will probably send it free of charge.

  NOTE: Do not install Windows XP 64 - bit Edition on your current 250GB Win7. If you did get the Compaq CD to restore.

  Download nLite from 2 a. nLiteOS.com to integrate SATA drivers (called: "Slipstream") inside your Windows CD otherwise: BSOD. (recommended method)

  -or-

  2B. After changing BIOS to recognize the floppy USB download drive drivers SATA on diskette and the XP CD, press F6 to manually load these drivers SATA AHCI floppy.

  3. use your Slipstreamed CD and let XP starts normally (no key of F)

  -Si Windows successfully installed continue-

  On our test unit CQ61 we currently have ALL but TWO missing drivers. the Audio driver and the video!

  After consultation with AMD, IDT and Insyde each has decided that this problem is with Compaq "Softpaqs Engineering Team", in the meantime a viable solution. Support for Compaq of level 2 has been unable to help in this case, however, agreed to intensify this concern to the "level 3" (genius).

  "Diversity is the key to break the monotony" Obviously, still a challenge for the Presario team in this area.

  Our testing shows that the problem exists in the firmware of the cards mothers; Perhaps the BIOS. Insyde (SSII BIOS) indicated that HP/Compaq has the "sp?.» solution "exe" and refused further assistance because of HP/Compaq contracts. "

  So why Compaq insist on locking/force their users in Windows 7, without other Windows based operating system options for this model and others who are currently in production? We're going to investigate.

  Currently, Windows XP 64-bit Edition is still being supported by Microsoft after January 10, 2010. So why not HP?

  Finally.

  Here we have the more stable driver, for most official, complete the value for the model CQ61 running XP64 (and possibly XP as well). It concerns all the drivers listed below:

  Driver SATA AHCI-

  Bus - SM

  -Realtek Ethernet Controller

  -ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 video driver

  Driver Modem Agere-

  -Atheros WiFi driver

  Use this forum as the timestamp.

  There were too many sources to the list for the updated driver, so a full driver package was created in place to keep things simple, without all the headaches of doing it yourself.

  This package should work on XP 64-bit operating systems based and is released as is. The instructions are inside each directory.

  NOTE: After downloading Please run the 1st prerequisites folder, then all other folders depending on numbers starting with 1 ( 0 record is for your slipstream). Here are the details of the file:

  As always with any software Please check against your trust of anti-virus software on a clean system.

  You will need 7zip, which can be downloaded from www. 7-zip.org in order to extract its contents.

  Last NOTE: If MD5 checksums do not match after downloading, remove it immediately. In this community, we are here to assist you in all possible ways to make your life a little easier with the PC. This is an ongoing process and the development of this package has been a joint effort from many sources. However, we remain optimistic for the official drivers of HP if they also, we support the cause as highlighted in their slogans and advertising. All in all societies can only works in their resources when it comes to projects like this however... "Diversity is the key to break the monotony", that's why we all think alike. We will stay hopeful. Thank you for your support. * UART *.

• F.43 parameters to perform the downgrade of MS Windows 7

  What settings are optimal to allow a downgrade for MS Windows 7 on a laptop HP Envy 17 TouchSmart J023CL where the BIOS is F.43?

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  Regardless of the version of the BIOS, you will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  or

  

  Also, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  Here are the specifications of your TouchSmart from HP ENVY 17 - j023cl Notebook computer. Most of the 64 bit drivers Windows 7 since TouchSmart from HP ENVY 17 t-j100 CTO Notebook PC drivers of Quad Edition page should work.

• macOS for the window icon Finder Sierra

  In virtually each another earlier version of mac OS in any Finder window, setting the display to show the elements as icons [cmd-1] using the "Show Options" [cmd - j] to sort the items by name and by setting the Label position button "Right" always sort icons vertically on the left side of the window, which is what I've been using the last 15 years. In the Sierra, which seems more possible. If I do this, the icons will remain always sorted horizontally. Someone knows how can I restore my Finder window preference for the display of vertical icon, without having to manually move each of my thousands of files, or spend in list view or column? Thanks in advance.
