Install Windows 8 on HP 19-2113w All-in-One Desktop PC..

  Greetings.  I am starting a new job with Sykes as a virtual assistant.  They require Windows 8, but I have 8.1 pre-installed.  I have tried building a Windows 7 VM, but my PC does not have the speed. Plus, my product key is invalid.  Is there a legitimate, legal way to install Windows 8 on my  HP 19-2113w All-in-One Desktop PC?  Thank you.  RCline7

I will try the link you sent, thank you....
3:56PM- No, the bios still won't let me make the change. It seems to let me disable the secure boot, but when I try to enable legacy boot, the option is locked out... what now?
12/1/2014: I installed AOMEI Backupper, works great despite the name, and it's free. Problem solved.
UPDATE: 12/22/2014 AOMEI actually does NOT work that well, and I discovered that to boot from cd/dvd, press 'esc' and then 'f9' to select the dvd drive, even if you do not change the settings in bios. If you do change the bios settings, you must first disable secure boot, the save changes and exit the bios, and enter a code given by the bios to finalize the change.
Also, windows 8.1 has an option to boot a UEFI-approved dvd/usb drive, in 'settings/change pc settings/backup & recovery', you can select an option to boot using a device.

  • HP 19-2113w All-in-One Desktop PC: Backup Hard Drive

    Greetings.
    I want to backup the drive on my HP 19-2113w All-in-One Desktop PC to an external usb drive, using a CloneZilla live dvd.
    The problem is this: I cannot get the pc to boot from the live dvd, because UEFI won't allow it.
    I can disable UEFI secure boot in bios, and enable legacy boot, but it doesn't actually change anything.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Thank you.
    This question was solved.

  • Can I update free to Windows 10 from my Aspire ZC-102 All in One desktop from Windows 8.1?

    Can I update free to Windows 10 from my Aspire ZC-102 All in One desktop from Windows 8.1?I bought my ACER with Windows 8 on it a year ago thru HSN. Then I upgraded to 8.1 using the Store thing on the computer. I've not been a fan of 8 or 8.1. I'm told that Windows 10 comes out on Friday and that upgrades are free somehow. Maybe that's thru doing the beta testing that I've read about. I don't know. But I'm not in very good shape financially and my computer's operating system is going nuts on me so an upgrade would probably fix things pretty well.
    I'd tried to do a Repair Install of 8.1 but was somehow told that since I'd upgraded from 8, a Repair Install couldn't be done thru the Control Panel. I'm clueless and I'm hurting. Can I have some help please?

    Thanks. I see that white icon down by the clock that hovered says GET WINDOWS 10. So even though I downloaded Windows 10 yesterday and burned it into being a bootable DVD, I went ahead and just Reserved My Upgrade since the DVD hasn't been cooperating.When I stuck it in and hit any key as the ACER started, it brought me to a screen that I couldn't figure out what to do on. I was clueless and I didn't want to cause myself any grief by just trying anything. I did just backup my28+ GB of Photos, Docs, Desktop, Downloads & Music.
    But I don't want to accidentally do a clean install, which I've done before on my XP Tablet pc and that sure isn't any fun for a novice like me.
    I only use Office 2013 and an old Paint Shop Pro 6.0 which is really old and isn't their newer v6 so it has to run in Compatibility Mode in 8.1. I'm not an APP guy either. I do use OmniPass software for passwords so I can Save and Restore them if needed, so I had to buy a 64 bit version of that to run on this ACER.
    So I guess my next step is to just wait for a Notification from Microsoft that I can now switch to 10 which I think it said will just download so my DVD won't even be needed for anything but as a repair tool.That icon you told me about brought up a screen and on it it said that it found my PC to be compatible with Windows 10. So does that mean that drivers and everything ACER will work as they should or will I need to get anything off the ACER site to make my PC work with Windows 10?

  • Dell XPS One 27 All In One Desktop PC Windows 10 Graphics Driver Issues

    I am posting to let Dell know about a problem with the current Dell XPS One 27 all in one desktop PC running the technical preview of Windows 10.  The XPS 27 uses a NVidia mobile graphics card that utilizes the 750M graphics chipset.  Dell publishes a compatible driver on its support pages (Driver 331.82).  This driver works on Windows 10 technical preview builds 9962 and 10041, however the Windows Update feature in Windows 10 technical preview forces driver updates.  The one being forced by Windows Update (Driver 349.90) is not 100% compatible with the hardware in the XPS 27.
    When the XPS 27 is running driver 331.82 (supplied by Dell) then Office 365 is both installable and will run normally, however when Windows Update forces the driver update to 349.90, Office 365 is no longer installable, and if it has already been installed, then it will crash whenever any of the apps within the office suite are launched.
    Currently in Windows 10 technical preview, there is no way of stopping Windows Update from installing the updated driver.  Even if you roll the driver back to the one supplied by Dell, Windows Update will then re-install 349.90 over the top of it.
    I have left detailed feedback for Microsoft using the Windows 10 feedback system.  I am posting this here to let Dell know about the problem as well.

    Greetings.  The problem associated with Office 365 has been resolved.  I am currently running Windows 10 Build 10074 and I am running Nvidia's GeForce 350.12 driver.
    Nvidia released some beta drivers for Windows 10 last week.  These are currently 352.??.  They have one for the 750M chipset, however the implementation of the 750M chipset used by Dell in the XPS One 27 doesn't appear to be standard.,  The driver won't install, citing "no compatible hardware found"
    Another problem with the current 350.12 drive in either Windows 10 build 10061 or 10074 is that it has broken all 3D gaming.  For example Skyrim on Steam no longer runs, and neither does Diablo III on Battle.net.  But at least Office 365 works, so I would rather be productive than entertained.

    Utter nonsense.
    trying to save money i got the oem version of windows 7. is there anything special that i need to do for installing windows 7 oem onto my imac using parallels?
    Just use the defaults. Windows 7 is very slow and really RAM-hungry. You will need 8 GB of RAM on your Mac because Windows 7 needs 2 GB all by itself. Even with that, it runs twice as slow as Windows XP.
    If you've already spent money, there isn't much you can do at this point. I suggest using Apple Pages and, when you are ready to submit something to your professor, export it as a Word document and then re-save that Word document as a Word XML doc. I don't know why Pages doesn't export in docx format. It is built into the operating system. I even have a little utility that will save your clipboard directly to docx. You can download a fully-functional demo from: http://www.etresoft.com/pastefiler
    There are many other utilities that can do the same, including Office 2011 itself. I prefer Pages because it supports modern OS X technologies and is much faster and easier to use than Word, but Pages only exports to DOC, not DOCX. Word is better if you are doing really sophisticated document, but it costs a fair amount money.

  • Windows 7 Driver fro HP All-in-One - 20-2210x

    Hi everyone, 
    is there any way to download driver for Windows 7 x64 on  HP All in one 20-2210x.
    As on their website its only supported by Windows 8:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=7308...
    I dont want to use windows 8 at this time.
    Many thanks

    Hello @Oszh,
    I understand that you are looking for Windows 7 64-bit drivers for your HP All-in-One - 20-2210x. Unfortunately, your computer at this time only has Windows 8.1 drivers. If you move down to Windows 7 you may lose some functionality as you will be stuck using the basic Windows 7 drivers if there are any for your computer.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    After resetting my HP 19-2114 All-in-One Desktop PC
    I still need a "direct X" driver to use the default 3D Windows "Time" Screensaver.
    This also means that I have other software applications that will not work, but I would assume either Windows or HP should have this driver by dafault.

  • HP Pavilion 23-b309 All-in-One Desktop Randomly Reboots

    I have an HP Pavilion 23-b309 All-in-One Desktop running Windows 8 and it randomly reboots. Seems to be when I'm watching YouTube videos but it may also happen at other times. Doesn't appear to make a difference if i'm using Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I've tried to run the Troubleshooting Program (http://h20614.www2.hp.com/ediags/gmd/Install.aspx?lc=en&cc=ca) but the software will not install. No warnings just doesn't do anything. It does get downloaded but will not open. Any resolution ideas ?

    Thanks Dunidar but no luck on the power supply troubleshooting. Everything seems to work fine in that department. The unit turns on and off fine, the fan is working and nothing seems hot. I just made it crash again watching a Youtube vdeo which has been the pattern of the past. Here's some more details not mentioned before. Unit is only 6 months old and has been doing this for at least 2 or 3 months. Running W8 64 bit and there are no errors when it re-boots. It will be working fine then wham it just goes off and restarts. There have been no recent hardware changes but probably software additions. I run Norton Internet Security and have run every possible scan they have available. I am hardwired into my cable connection and have also tried going wireless with the same results. I re-downloaded the graphics driver from HP and have almost all of the W8 updates (downloaded - there's a security patch that won't install). The common denominator that i'm seeing is the Youtube videos. I was playing in HD when it just crashed but did have it playing non HD Youtube for quite awhile prior to that. Look forward to any other suggestions you may have..
