Windows 8 on HP Pavilion dv6
Hello, I was just wondering if HP have tested dv6 notebooks compatibility with Windows 8, my laptop was bought in September 2011, so is not old and runs Windows 7 Home Premium and I would like to upgrade, but I would like to know if it supports the new system, thanks a lot
A couple of things. HP has not posted specific drivers of Windows 8 for your device. Others with similar models are problems with specific hardware HP as the guard hard drive and keyboard shortcuts and other. Secondly, I followed Windows 8 since beta and am adviser to everyone who asks me not to upgrade to Windows 8 on a traditional to a computer keyboard and a mouse. I think that my opinion is shared by a large majority of the tech press. If you happen to have a Windows computer with a touch screen, however, dive in full and upgrade to Windows 8. The learning curve is very steep and a lot of cool stuff just does not interface apply mouse and keyboard. You'll find yourself to the desktop (interface inherited from Windows) anyway and it is a paralyzed version not easily operated with a mouse and a keyboard. Just my 2 cents.

Windows 7 installation problem Pavilion dv6-6c45eg
Since I have a free license for windows 7 Professional at home, I decided to install it on my new Pavilion dv6-6c45eg that came with Windows 7 Home Premium.
The problem is that the installation process stops at the beginning and said something like: "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing... ", then he gives me the choice to load a driver. I googled a lot since yesterday and there seems to be something related to the SATA driver, however even load the SATA driver installation is not moving forward, after loading the driver it say that no new units have been detected.
What I tried:
* Install Windows 7 x 32 and x 64
* Install from a USB flash drive* Install Windows 8 (same problem in Windows 7)
* Check the SATA in the BIOS (not possible to see or modify on the BIOS F.19)
* Search for the shortcomings of HD (even changed the HD)
I'm sure it's something related to a driver, because I also installed Linux (OpenSuse, Fedora and Ubuntu) operating systems and they work fine.
So, I would appreciate help to solve this problem.
Thank you very much.Marcio

Hello support,
Please, could you tell me is hp pavilion dv6 - 7013cl entertainment notebook 10 64-bit windows support, isn't even available all the drivers to download for windows 10 for hp pavilion dv6.
You have all your customer reviews, how fitting is hp pavilion dv6 7013 for windows 10?
Thank you and best regards,
Granite
I can only tell you my experience - when I tried to upgrade my hp DV6 and had Win10 fail and leave it in an unusable state. I'm waiting for the recovery discs arrive at HP, so that I can restore and get back to work.
There is no Win10 at HP for the DV6 drivers - I checked.
Before the upgrade, I would say that it does not support Win10 - as their tool to check upgrade reported no hardware or software problem, and that my machine was ready to be upgraded.
But... This is obviously not true, or he would not have missed the upgrade.
The first service pack to Win10 (only they do not call it a service pack, they call it a Service Release) will come out this week. So I would wait until the month next to the upgrade.

Anci SATA for HP Pavilion dv6-1230us controller driver.
I need driver Intel Sata Controller Anci (I want to install windows 7) for HP Pavilion dv6-1230us.
Hello
If you can still access Windows, please go to your device manager. Click on the pointer little next to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and display the name of your controller SATA ACHI.
I think that according to the manual, it takes the ICH 9 M.
Here is the link to the drivers: you must select the 32 or 64 bit version as appropriate.
Copy them to a USB FlashDrive as you see them. Do not put them in a folder. That plug into a USB port. Start the PC and press F6 to load the sata driver or if the installation asks you for this you will need to use your Up / Dn arrows on your keyboard and select the Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller.
Please note that it may not be initially visible in the list of drivers on your screen, this is why you must use the arrow keys to find. Once you, just select it and press on enter and hope that your installation will continue.

Pavilion DV6-3240Br: 4313 Broadcom driver for windows 10
Hello
I have an old Pavilion DV6 3240Br and just upgraded to windows 10. Unfortunately, I can't find a driver for my system. HP said that it will not develop specific drivers for my device. It uses a broadcom 4313gn 802.11b/g/n wireless card. There is a driver (maybe another portable model) that works with this broadcom card in 10 x 64 windows?
Best regards
