Is there any way to purchase upgrade when PC is NOT eligible for free upgrade

Hi...
I bought my pavilion dv5 1 month to soon to get the free upgrade... Now i'm wondering if HP gives the same upgrade option to people who want to upgrade and will pay for it... I know I can buy Windows 7 on a DVD, but there's no drivers on it, and I was told by HP support that the drivers from the HP download site might not work properly on a standalone Windows 7
So is there any way to get upgrade by paying for it... Maybe HP has some buyable upgrade kit?
Sincerely 
DCNR

When HP has Windows 7 drivers available, they will certainly work with a conventional Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade version.

  • Is there any way I can upgrade my existing iphone 5 to iphone 5s

    Is there any way I can upgrade my existing iphone 5 to iphone 5s

    Sell the 5 privately and use the funds received toward the purchase of a 5s.
    Apple does not do trade-ins like car dealers if that is what you are asking.
    In some locations, Apple will give you a small amount for recycling your
    current iPhone but you will always get more $ by selling it privately.
    Some wireless providers offer periodic reduced price upgrades - check yours
    to see if they have such a plan.

  • I have a 3GS phone that can no longer be upgraded on my Powerbook because it is ancient and can only run 10.4.11, consequently itunes will only upgrade to 9.2.1(4). Is there any way i can upgrade the phone so hereafter i will not need a computer to do it.

    I have a 3GS phone that can no longer be upgraded on my Powerbook because it is ancient and the os will only run 10.4.11, consequently iTunes will only upgrade to 9.2.1(4). Please don't answer that i need to upgrade the computer os because that has been a past nightmare i have been through too many times.
    Is there any way i can upgrade the phone w/o going to an apple store so hereafter w/ the upgrade to the new os (whenever that gets squared away), i will not need a computer to do it?
    Thanks in advance,
    don

    Solved my issue by setting up a new account on my daughter's computer. Not 100% solved, but i was able to get the update on my 3GS.

    No. Your computer can’t be upgraded past Lion 10.7.5.

  • Is there any way I can upgrade to version 6 rather than IOS7?

    Is there any way I can upgrade to version 6 rather than IOS7?

    No.  iTunes and over the air updates work by detecting your hardware, and then only offer the latest available version of iOS compatible with that hardware.  Older releases will simply not be available for hardware.

    If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

    If you don't know your lost/stolen iPad's serial number, use the instructions below. The S/N is also on the iPad's box.

    Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.
    Stolen iPad Database
    http://www.stolenlostfound.org/online-stolen-ipad-database
    Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

    Hi nikevans04,
    I am sorry to hear that you lost your iPad Air 2. You will only see the last location if it has been off for less than 24 hours. Anything longer than that, it will not show up using the Find My feature. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Hi my names mark.I have the ipad 2 it's on ios 7.1 I had iOS 7.4 but it downgraded to iOS 7.1 is there any way I can upgrade to iOS 7.4 and the 3D effect is gone off my ipad

    Hi my names mark.I have the ipad 2 it's on ios 7.1 I had iOS 7.4 but it downgraded to iOS 7.1 is there any way I can upgrade to iOS 7.4 and the 3D effect is gone off my ipad

    There isn't an iOS 7.4 - there was a 7.0.4 (and 7.0.6), 7.1 is the current version.
    For the parallax effect, do you currently have Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion set 'on' ?

  • I got an 11 inch macbook air for christmas and now i am regretting not getting the 13 inch is there any way i can upgrade to the 13 inch still ?

    i got an 11 inch macbook air for christmas and now i am regretting not getting the 13 inch is there any way i can upgrade to the 13 inch still ?

    okay well another question the track pad on my 11 inch mac got stuck and wouldnt work and i took it to the apple store and had a tech look at it and he said it was working and i got home and it still wouldnt work so i took it back again to another tech and he said the guy before didnt fix it right and he said it was broken and that i needed a new track pad and he said he would replace it but they didnt have any trackpads in the store at the time but he fixed it enough that it barely works but he said i needed to come back to get a new trackpad because he fixed it enough that it would only work for a short period of time, so i went back the other day to another tech and told him and he said that since it still works they wouldnt do anything about it. but it barely works and barely clicks down should they fix it since the one tech told me it will only work for a short time and that if i came back they would replace my trackpad ? i have apple care and i am still under the 1 year warranty.

  • Will itunes uk ever get US tv programmes if not is there any way to purchase from itunes US

    was looking through itunes US is there any way to purchase tv programmes from there

    1. Only if whoever holds the copyright to them in the UK allows Apple to make those programs available.
    2. Not without travelling to the US and supplying a payment method valid there.

  • Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for identification rather than randomly?  Would provide better context for identification especially if a huge number of images is involved.

    Before I commit the time and energy required to load and tag faces in 25,000 images within iPhoto, I need some questions answered;
    Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for tagging rather than randomly?  When so many images need tagging, over many years, the context of a folder helps with the identification. The work around is to load the images into iPhoto one folder at a time and do the tagging then.
    How do I get iPhoto to present the tagged faces by last name rather than first name? When so many faces will be identified, it is much easier to find people by surname, particularly when I share the library within the family. The work around is to enter names as last name and first name.  Being able to toggle the sort is much more desireable.
    Is there a way to export a portion of the library including faces?  I want to pass on portions of this huge 125 GB library to my family members.
    Since my family members will need an Apple computer to view the images and faces, they will likely have their own photo library.  So is there any way to combine two libraries and merge the faces?
    About 2/3 of my images have been scanned, so the date of creation is the scanned date rather than the date the photo was taken.  Will this mess up any sequencing or the retrieval of faces?

    If I want to carve off part of a library, I presume the way to do this is to make a copy of the library using PLM then go into iPhoto and delete what I don't want.  The result is the carved off portion.
    You don't need Library Manager to delete the portion you don't want.
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    If I want to merge two libraries, PLM implies that it will do this but will the Faces be merged too?
    I believe so.

  • TS1702 Re: Notes App. I opened Notes, then opened a particular note. It opened briefly, and then suddenly several notes, from the past two weeks, just disappeared. Is this a known glitch, and is there any way to retrieve or restore these lost notes?

    Re: Notes App. I opened Notes, then opened a particular note. It opened briefly, and then suddenly several notes, from the past two weeks, just disappeared. Is this a known glitch, and is there any way to retrieve or restore these lost notes?

    The other day i deleted my email accounts off of my ipod and only reloaded a few of them. today i looked at my notes to look at a project i had typed on my notes because i didnt have paper and pen around to write it and i didnt want to froget. I reloaded the rest of my emails in hope that everything would reappear but sadly only some of them from 2010 loaded. Recently i had update some of the files and they were like they were when i first created them there were alos ones that i had deleted long ago. There are other notes i had made that were really important to me to andi wouldn't be able to remember every single one. Help Please!

  • Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos on iweb?

    Re: protecting photos when using iweb as your web designer...
    Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos using iweb?  I have seen tutorials about creating a text box around each image - but is there a better way? 

    However, there is no way you can prevent someone from making a screenshot of the image as it is displayed on the screen no matter what application you use to create the web page.
    You can add a watermark to dissuade the casual "thief" but those who are serious about stealing the photo for their own use can remove the watermark with some effort.
