• Can I downgrade to Windows 7 from Windows 8.1 on my desktop computer Pavilion 500-368na

  As I'm not impressed by Windows 8.1 on my brand new, aged 1 week, Desktop, I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade to Windows 7. My pc would be used mainly as office at home with absolutely no interest in the games. Advice and instructions would be appreciated, although I have been informed that it is a complicated procedure. Is this something that should be done by a pc engineer?

  You are right in your assumption that the guarantee may be cancelled.

  Overview of Windows 9 is expected at the end of the month and we are all eager to see more of what she's on about.  Leak screenshots and which are not pure speculation as Microsoft kept a tight lid on this version.  It's perhaps the last full blown, with what they come out.  It could very well become a subscription service similar to what they are currently doing with Office 365 updated.  Other software companies seem to go the same route.

  As I said in my post, you can save 8 looks like Win 7.  There is a free ebook of Dell, Windows 8 for Dummies, you can download from this site, if you are interested.

  You now have the tools to decide what is best for you, good luck.

• Pavilion laptop laptop 15-ab158nb: downgrade from windows 10 for windows 7

  Hello, I bought a laptop for computer laptop 15-ab158nb with 10 windows installed

  I like windows7 more (I'm used to) and you want to downgrade to windows 7

  I am looking for the hp support site and they only drivers for windows 10

  -that someone tried this with success

  Thank you

  Rudi

  Before you change or change anything, please create your personal HP recovery media.

  You'll need a new copy of Windows 7 64-bit with a Microsoft COA and a figure of 25 unused/valid key PID from Microsoft. Windows 7 DVD may not work properly on UEFI-based systems, this is why you may need to create a FAT32 UEFI USB Windows 7 for Windows 7 installation key to install correctly.

  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.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer may ask that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  After installing Windows 7, you will need to install any drivers necessary before being fully functional. Most of the Windows 7 drivers on the page of software and the driver HP Pavilion Notebook-15z ab000 CTO - should work on your computer. Please do not use any BIOS or Firmware from this page.

  Thanks for posting (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all the remaining of the missing and/or unknown devices, as shown in the example below, and we can direct you to the correct drivers.

• Pavilion 15-AB044SA: Downgrade from Windows 8.1 to windows 7 on HP Pavilion 15-AB044SA

  I just branch a refurbished HP 15-AB044SA comes with preinstalled Windows 8.1. I'm not a fan of the operating system and want to downgrade to windows 7. Could you please guide me to the decommissioning?

  And I have the same funcitionality in the laptop running Windows 7 as Windows 8.1? Is it possible to keep the same license OS currently on the laptop?

  Thanks in advance,

  If the reason why you don't like Win8x is the lack of a desktop and start menu, consider downloading and installing ClassicShell.  This will give the look-and-feel of Win7 back - and it's FREE!

  As for Win7, there are drivers HP to Win7 for your PC: http://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771366/model/8255011

  If this page does not display Win7 when you open it, then click on edit and select Windows 7 from the menu drop down.

  As for the feature, Yes, you will have the same functionality in Win7 you have in Win8x - just a different user interface.

  There is no 'path of decommissioning' to Win7. Instead, you'd have to do is to boot from Win7 installation media and install it on top of Win8.  This means that you will lose all existing applications, the parameters and the data of the user in the process.

  NO, we do not keep or use the same license.  Your PC came with HP OEM Win8 preinstalled, and that's what the license is for.  To install Win7, you will need to buy it and then activate it by using the product key that you receive with the purchase.  You can't buy this at HP, because he's not selling copies of Win7.

  But what you CAN do is to check with the HP customer service and see if they will sell you HP to Win7 for your PC recovery media.  It would cost much less go out and buy a copy of Win7 retail.

  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

• Downgrade from Windows 8.1 to windows 7 on a HP ENVY 15 laptop

  Hello

  I recently bought this laptop and it comes preinstalled with windows 8.1 and I wanted to know if I could downgrade to windows 7, if yes how. I'm totally foreign to the way I would go to do.

  I gave to windows 8 a chance and I can just get used to it, it seems it would be much better suited for a pc equipped with a touchscreen (which mine does not).

  If anyone knows, pleae let me know.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You can move applications on the desktop and you can lock all the apps freq in the taskbar. If you want to access other applications, Start (sorry no click, just as you must not click) and all programs (programs and features, now) come out on top. After 2 days, you will get the usefulness. I have two other icons for stopping and restarting.

  Kind regards.

• Downgrade to Windows 7 preinstalled Wimdows 8

  Due to a recent job that requires the use of a software that is not compatible with windows 8, I need to downgrade to windows 7 on my Desktop HP Pavilion 500 - 23w.

  I pretty much just the basics when it comes to be computer savvy so I need help on how to move to windows 7.

  Thanks in advance

  You are the very welcome.

  You have a choice of two.

  You can not legally install an operating system upgrade to windows 7 on your PC because to do this, your PC needs to come with Windows Vista or Windows XP.

  You leave with two options and you can decide what is best for you.

  First to be aware that the software, you need to perform can run on a 64-bit operating system no matter what version of Windows you have or want, like find 32-bit for your PC drivers will be very difficult to do.

  If you know that the software will run on W7 x 64 then here is your legal options:

  1. the cheapest is to install the OEM Version of Windows 7 Home Premium.

  The disadvantage of this option is that it will be the single PC you can still install the OEM version on.  The key works only once and is not transferable to another PC.

  2. the other option is to purchase the full retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium. This will allow you to transfer the license to PC unique (one at a time, of course) that you need.

  The disadvantage of this option is that this software is double the cost of OEM software.

  Link to the OEM software:

  Link to software to the retail (right now, it's on sale for $20 less than normal).

  Do the tour... maybe you can find a better offer, but make sure you get a genuine subject descriptions I was talking about earlier.

  Ok. You have not provided this information before. So my previous post was a waste of time. You will need to buy HP recovery media. If you are available and active recovery media recover image factory, it would be to delete and recreate the partitions on the boot only disc not the secondary hard drive.

  Looking for discs recovery or recovery usb media?

  2 what, reset or refresh the pc. This will help?

  N ° reset or update will only update to the current Windows 8.1 operating system

  3. is it going to be unilingual Windows 8 again.

  It will not work if there is no recovery partition, if you do not have to worry about that

  4. How can I stop the installation of windows 8.1 in the future.

  Change the settings for Windows Update. See the following image

• Downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP Professional?

  I have a question - is there anyone who knows if downgrande (double) is possible as the subject? I heard it's true, but is there anyone who has done it and is sure that it is legal and possible?

  Hi Anj,

  What double downgrade you mean exactly? I never heard of something like that

  Generally a downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP is not possible. That's why it of necessary to make a clean and new XP installation.
