How do I downgrade my envy h8 1520t from windows 8 to 7

How do I downgrade my HP h8 1520t desktop from Windows 8 to Windows 7..  Thanks to all in advance..

*****Disclaimer*****
HP doesn't recommend the installation of Windows 7 on a computer shipped with Windows 8, nor will it support the installation of Windows 7. HP will not provide Windows 7 drivers and suitable drivers may not be available for the hardware in the computer. Also, Windows 7 may not support some of the hardware or software features designed for the computer.
Make sure you create your HP Recovery Discs or USB Flash Recovery media before modifying or changing ANYTHING.
You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and maybe ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "BIOS Secure Boot cofiguration" on the settings page shown below before you can attempt to install Windows 7;
Additionally, as the hard drive is partitioned as GPT, you must boot the computer using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" in the "F9" boot menu. If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or something to that effect doesn't exist in the boot menu, please post a screen shot and/or descibe the listed boot options.
I suggest using a Windows 7 SP1 disc for the best intallation experience. If you need a Windows SP1, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download and create your own. If the DVD refuses to boot as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (may require DISABLING "Fast Boot" in the BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive.
Most of the Windows 7 drivers avalable on the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1360t CTO Desktop PC Drivers & Downloads page should work on the HP h8-1520t computer.
Please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids", as shown below, if you have issues installing the proper drivers;

  • How can I downgrade to 7.1.2 from IOS 8 (iPad air and iPhone 5S)?

    Since my update to IOS 8 i have Strong Akku Problems.
    I will back to IOS 7.1.2 with my iPhone 5 S and my Ipad air.

    Many Thanks for the quick answer. But this isn’t helpful for me. I've got no option for downgrade. Only for IOS 8 factory reset!!

    Can you restore from backup?  That would be best to keep all your stuff.  You can find usually several versions under restore option in iTunes.  I really hope you have one of those iOS7 versions backed up to iTunes.
    If you really want to start over, and I mean no contacts, photos, music, apps, anything but factory settings that aren't in the cloud or in one of the restore options. You can search ios 7.1.2 firmware and download it and install by shift click restore and choose the file you downloaded.  But that is a really desperate act.  But this also requires iTunes and if you've been using iTunes you probably have a backup.

    var username:String = ExternalInterface.call ("findUserName");

    It seems like your phone might be done for then.. I had a White 3G do this to me.. Although I DONT suggest it, smacking it around seemed to get it connected every now and then, but if it was dropped again it would stop working..
    Also, make sure your SIM card is clean & properly inserted into the phone!

  • How can I move files or complete websites from Windows 7 to Nexus 7 for Firefox, without using sync?

    I'm writing documentation telling end users how to move large websites (up to 4GB, including PDFs but not sound or video) from Windows 7 to Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.2) to be used offline there -- preferably moving the site by a wired connection, instead of using Firefox sync. I have the latest Adobe plug-in, and the latest Java from Oracle, on the Nexus 7 (it would be nice if it were not necessary to download these after downloading the latest Firefox for the Nexus, but I suspect that's not Mozilla's fault).
    So I saved a small test PDF file on the Nexus 7 (to see what download folder it got put into -- it showed up in sdcard/Download/). However, when I move a small PDF (that was NOT created on Nexus 7) from Windows to Nexus 7 (through the USB wire) to the same folder, the file does show up there as expected (as seen by ES File Explorer), but is invisible to Firefox.
    Also there are several files left over in that folder from a previous installation of Firefox on the Nexus 7 (I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, for a blank-slate test). I would also like to make these files visible in the new installation of Firefox, in order to delete them.
    How can I instruct the end user to change permissions or whatever on the Nexus 7, or otherwise cause certain PDF or HTML files in the sdcard/Download/ folder to also be visible to Firefox?

    The best way to do things is to use sync. If you wish do use other methods it would become complicated.
