Hp 255 gs eco drivers windows 7 ( Product number: J4R73EA#ABU )

Had this laptop two week now,
managed to install windows 7 with help off this forum
but, the orriginal problem still exists.
namely
the HP web site software / drivers still says this HP laptop has an intel chip set,
where as it has a AMD set
ot what I used to with the HP ange,
Is this a fake HP product ?
Kind of worrying to the point that I'm seriosuly considering this machine going back.
who do we talk to to get this HP machine supported ?

Hi, Alex:
You need this driver for the wired network: That is the Integrated 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet LAN.

I don't know what model wireless card your notebook uses, so please do the following steps so I can figure that out and post the link to the driver you need.
Go to the Device Manager, find the Other Devices category and click on the Network Controller listed under that category.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that and select the second or third item (depending on operating system) on the list (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

Possible to obtain Windows 7 product key from Lenovo for downgrade from Windows 8.1?

Hi all. I have searched all over these forums and haven't found the answer to my question, so I figured I'd just ask it.
I purchased an Ideapad Y580 with Windows 8 pre-installed. Hated it from the get go. Upgraded to Windows 8.1, and still don't like. But, now, I am having a ton of bug-y issues. Although I've managed to fix most, they have become increasingly annoying. The latest is that upon upgrading to Windows 8.1, my USB ports stopped working...except they sometimes work, some of the time, but never all of the time. Drivers are up to date, and every diagnostic test I have run passes. Surfing the net, it sounds like this is a common issue with windows 8.1.
I was speaking with my firm's IT company and was told that they have had the exact same issues with numerous clients. (As an aside, they universally place lenovo products in their client's hands). It has gotten so bad that they do not provide windows 8/8.1 on any of the machines they prepare for their clients.
Last week, I was speaking to the IT company's local rep who was performing some server maintenance for us, and he indicated that if you purchased a laptop pre-installed with windows 8 and didn't like it, you could obtain a windows 7 product key from the manufacturer and downgrade to windows 7. Is that accurate? if so, how do I make that happen?

Too be honest I suggest you do not downgrade unless you have to use software in your company that does not work on Windows 7.
Get started reading Windows 8 guides, and you will notice Windows 8 is a lot better after you have read all the guides:

HP DV6 Laptop - How do I find my Windows 7 Product Key

Model: DV6-1149WM
Product: LW264UAR#ABA
I purchased a new hard drive for my laptop. I want to install a clean version of Windows 7 on this hard drive. The Windows product key sticker is badly worn on the bottom of my laptop and I can only make out a little more than half the characters on it. Where can I find the Windows 7 product key? I tried to use an app to find it but it only finds a generic key since it was an OEM install. Can you please tell me how I can find my product key? I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 on my new hard drive so I don't want to install it from any kind of recovery disk. Thanks in advance for your help.

How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store. It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.

Bootcamp drivers Windows 7 (64 bit)

I had my mac replaced because of a screen defect... for some reason after installing windows 7 back on it I cant seem to get the boocamp drivers to work properly. The closest I got was having my keyboard lit all the time but no buttons were working... or trackpad. I DID have this working before and I just remember installing drivers... maybe I have tried the wrong ones? I have went through several and no success so far. So I reformatted with a fresh Windows 7 and now I wanna wait until I get feedback on EXACTLY what to install... thanks

I totally missed that you put this under "Input Devices" rather than "Install" category....

Windows 7 Product key Not working, Cannot download iso

First sorry if this post to to simar to the other windows 7 product key one but the soultion dosnt work anymore.
My hdd in my y580 started to give me the tick of death so i brought a new ssd to replace it and backed up my files to my external. i was going to make a bootable copy of windows 7 on my usb so i could install it on the ssd and this is were i ran into issue.
All offical download links now lead to a dead page that redirects you to a new windows download form where you are required to put in your product key before you can download. i put in my product key from the sticker on the back but it just returns with this "http://prntscr.com/62eyxp"
So even if i am able to get a copy of windows 7 will my cdkey work at all? and how can i get a copy when it keep giving me the message.
Anyhelp would be welcome.

First I am not a Microsoft employee, but I am a Microsoft MVP. As such I have to stick with the position Microsoft takes on downloading ISO files. They have given some users a way to redownload the ISO file. The other ways that are posted on the web Microsoft says that the official resellers (Digital River) downloads are for those who purchase the Windows OS thru the reseller's website. Anyone else that wants to download from there is not authorized to have such a downloaded file. All other sources of those file (other than the Microsoft site or the resellers site) are not legitimate sources of the file and can be infected.
This leaves users who purchased a computer from an OEM with no viable download source. While my personal opinions may differ from the official Microsoft position, I cannot really express them. But you may want to check out the DMCA Title III. Of course this only matters if you are in the US. If you are not, I have no idea what laws would apply.
While the downloaded ISO will not work with the key that you have from an OEM, if it is a real ISO from Microsoft and has not been altered in anyway and is a complete download, you can use it for repairs. Which is what almost everyone I deal with needs it for, repairs not reinstall. To be honest I hate telling someone to wipe their harddrive and reinstall windows.
I do believe that ALL OEM's are now charging for a copy of the factory image that is originally on the harddrive. But they cannot be used for repair in the manner that the Windows install disc can be.
What you do with all this information is entirely up to you. I hope it helps.

Drivers for "older" products?

Hi,
I have a Creative mp3 player Nomad Zen and a Live! webcam. I was stunned to see on the Vista drivers page that there is "no development planned" for Vista drivers for these products. Why is this Is this the way Creative stand behind their products Dont you have a support duty to your customers Whats the message here Buy a new Creative gadget, it will last you at least two years! What kind of a joke is this Is this even legal Can we team up here and write to the major PC magazines and consumer associations Unacceptable!
All major software and hardware manufacturers already have Vista support.

its a common problem with many hardware manufacturers... thats why Im stucked with a dual boot xp-vista myself.... I would support the vendors that developped vista drivers for (not so) old devices... canon was a good example (for printers)... microsoft itself doesnt support hardware for so long when they publish a new OS! edit : I suspect we are both living in the same (little) country "All major software and hardware manufacturers already have Vista support" :
thats not true david, but you discover this when falling into an issue... many wifi devices dont work with vista, my L*****ch "old" (2 years 50 eur) (programmable) keyboards-mouses too, and so on....
on this forum, see how long X-Fi owners had to wait to get vista drivers and software (speaking here about year old 300eur soundcards)....
but I agree with you this is a shame : we should react together as customers to finally get laws that protect us (through "Test achats" in Belgium for example)

If you reinstall using the manufacturer's Recovery System, you will not need to enter the Key - it comes with its own Key built-in.

Need my Windows XP product key - moved hard drive to another machine

My Media Center motherboard died and I took the hard drive out of the system that had an AMD processor and put it into a system that has an Intel processor. Now Windows at start-up wants me to activate this copy of Windows XP as if it was the first time it was being used. My system serial number is {Personal Information Removed} and the product number is EK425AA-ABA and I originally purchased it on 3-3-2006. This computer did not come with original Microsoft Windows XP discs. The recovery program was located on the "D" drive. So I have no way of supplying the Product Key when prompted. HELP!!!!

Hi:
Unfortunately, we cannot provide any assistance, as what you have done is a violation of the Microsoft OEM operating system license agreement you accepted when you first used your original PC.
You can find more info at the link below about this.
http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fbid=vATwpDCXrDL
The section that is applicable to your situation is as follows:
Transfer of license
Q. Can my customers transfer or sell their OEM software licenses?
A. After an OEM software license has been installed on a PC, the license may not be installed on or transferred to another PC. However, the entire PC may be transferred to another end user along with the software license rights. When transferring the PC to the new end user, the software media, manuals (if applicable), and Certificate of Authenticity label must be included. It is also advisable to include the original purchase invoice or receipt. The original end user cannot keep any copies of the software.

Same Windows XP product key on two machines

Hello,
I have a question regarding the Windows XP product key.
I have two Thinkpad T23. The first one came with a product recovery CD (Windows XP Pro) and it works without problem. However, the second T23 I just bought didn't come with preinstalled operationg system. After checking on Lenovo website with the machine type number it shows me that my second T23 is a model that equipped with Windows XP Pro. So I used the productrecovery CD from my first T23 to restore the second T23 to factory setting.
Now that both T23 are running Windows XP Pro I check the WIndows XP product key and the product keys from both T23 are exactly the same! Is this normal? Would this harm the Windows Xp license on my first T23?
I did this because I thought that each Thinkpad with OEM license has the Windows product key embedded somewhere in the hardware and that the product recovery CD would take such information from the system. But now that both machines have the same product keys I'm confused.
Anyone knows about this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Wow, this is a very quick reply!!
So the same product keys shouldn't harm my machines then? For example, when I try to install some upgrades from Microsoft website and there is this little software (which I forgot its name) that will check if my Windows is a genuine copy or not and I was just thinking that having same product keys could somehow break this "genuine copy" thing...
I just want to make sure that this is not a problem or illigal to do. Nobody wants to have a problem with the Microsoft I guess

Windows Vista product Key

Does anyone know how I can find out what my windows vista product key is. The sticker on the bottom of my laptop has worn off and it keeps saying that I need to enter it.

Hello,
What is asking for the product key? Is it the operating system?
If it is the OS, what you need is the recovery disc, putting the product key will not work because the OS that was installed on the NB is already activated and it can't be activated anymore.
I think microsoft has a fix for this but they will charge you for the support.
It is better if you will just do the recovery so that you can reinstall the operating system..
Hope this help.

Acer announces that its full 2015 Windows-powered product lineup and currently-shipping Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 portfolio will support the free Windows 10 upgrade[1] when it becomes available on July 29, 2015.

What's funny about this is when I gave it a try with my Switch 12 and set it back to the highest rating and it worked there too. 24bit, 192000Hz (Studio Quality)
