  You will need to purchase a full commercial copy of Windows 7 and do a clean install. You cannot use a Windows XP hacked as an operating system that you are eligible for an upgrade. Make sure that there are Windows 7 drivers for the hardware of the laptop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• HP pavilion g6: should I upgrade to windows 10

  Hello

  I wanted to know if I should upgrade to windows 10 or not.

  I checked my pc with the windows 10 application and he said that your computer meets all the requirements. But I wanted to know whether or not windows 10 is a stable operating system.

  When I bought my pc it ran Windows 8 and I have upgraded to windows 8.1. My pc has a few small problems since then.

  Most of them slipped, but there is a little. I have not found windows 8.1 as a stable OS, it has flaws and is not fluid.

  And if windows 10 is good, then tell me how should I update. I saw there are two types of upgrade. One is to you

  move all your files and software for windows a 10 and the other is that you start over completely. So what I should how and

  should I upgrade?

  @AA7,

  Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  At this point I would like to wait a few months for all the bugs to settle with the operating system and compatibility with the software and drivers.

  It normally takes a few months for an operating system to take the ist wake when dealing with hardware and software.

  Keep an eye on the support page for your laptop.  Then pass the drivers and software for windows 10 becomes listed.

  Thanks for the post and have a great day.

  You know it's a real shame that HP didn't advise people to do it before we upgraded. Now you admit that your drivers do not work with Windows 10. Bunch of idiots.

  You can't pass a test of Windows 7 (RC) version to the retail version.

  You can buy a FULL Windows 7 Ultimate version to do what you want to do.

  What version of Windows 7, you buy, you will need to do a clean install of it with a full version of Windows 7.

  I have a desktop HP with Windows 7 Pro and since last week, it will fail to start.   It seems that it is approaching, but everything does not end.    I would just buy a new SSD and upgrade to Windows 10.      I don't have Windows 7 installation floppies, but the license key is on the case of the office.      What are my options?   Hopefully I won't need to buy Windows because my hard drive has failed.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience and appreciate your interest for Windows 10.

  The license key of the operating system is integrated into the motherboard. To enable Windows 10 without facing any errors, you must activate the previous version of Windows with a valid license key, and then proceed to the upgrade.

  If you replace the SSD HARD drive, you must activate the previous Windows, i.e. Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 version, if it is a true copy as well as the activation key and then upgrade to Windows 10.

  Since you do not have an installation disc, I suggest to create one by downloading the ISO image of Windows 7 on a CD or USB key and check if you are able to download the operating system.
