Operating System change from Windows 7 to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

I have HP Pavilion Dv6-6196ex with Windows 7 64 bit as original OS. I change my hard drive to 256 mb SSD and installed new OS windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. Is there any suitable software coming from HP that is compatible to my new OS and can i get a recovery manager from HP and installed it on my new OS? 

Sorry, but HP is only supporting and providing drivers for Windows 7 for this model on the HP Pavilion dv6-6196ex Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. The only purpose of the HP Recovery Manager is to return the computer to its original factory state. Becasue your computer shipped with Windows 7, the HP Recovery Manager would only restore Windows 7 and not the currently installed OS.
Please see HP Forun thread entitled "8.1 recovery discs" for more information on this subject. My suggestion is to use Windows "System Image Backup" utility to create an exact image of the Windows 8.1 partition as it currently is, on an external hard drive. If your computer developes issues or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is "restore" the image to the computer. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: Use System Image Backup for instructions on creating and restoring a "Windows - System Image Backup."
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Changing From Windows 8.1 PRO with Media Center To Just Windows 8.1 PRO

    Hi,
    I am trying to convert my windows to Windows  8.1 PRO from an unactivated version of Windows 8.1 PRO with Media Center (a free trial I got when I purchased my computer that expired). I am having an issue where it says to "Activate Windows."
    I purchased a Windows 8.1 PRO key and when I try to enter it into the "Activate Windows" under PC settings, it tells me that "This key can't be used to activate this version of windows." What do I do?

    Check with MS activation support : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950929

    Unfortunately, no there is no known native way of upgrading the Palm OS to a Windows OS on the Lifedrive device, unless there's a third party company/ or application that are available to change the functionality.

  • Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware

    Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

    That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
    To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
    If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

    Hi Blotontheland,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

  • Since I have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I have not been able to start up Photoshop Elements 9! or Premiere Elements 9! The menu starts up allright, but the programs don't start when I press any buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    Since I have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I have not been able to start up Photoshop Elements 9! or Premiere Elements 9! The menu starts up alright, but the programs don't start when I press any buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    If Layers is greyed out it possibly means that you are in Quick Mode. Select 'Expert' and all the options should become available.
    Try permanently associating psd files with C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and see if that fixes the issue. Instructions here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default.

  • How to check system status from Windows command line?

    Does anyone has an idea how to check system status from Windows command line? In UNIX we use startsap check, unfortunately I didn't find an appropriate command provided by SAP.
    The only idea we have is to use
    tasklist /FI "Username eq SAPService<SID>" | find "disp+work"
    which isn't as nice as startsap check.

    Hi,
    In windows you can use the command
    go to profile directory in command prompt and the give the following command to check the status of the instance.
    sapstart check pf=START_DVEBMGS<nr>_<hostname>
    that means you need to mention start profile or instance profile. So that it will say whether the instance is running or not.
    If you want any other information please reply back to me.
    Thanks,
    Chaitanya.

  • Operating System Calls from APEX with Java and PL/SQL

    Question about operating system calls from apex.
    I created a java file which is wrapped with pl/sql like
    create or replace java source named "ExternalCall" as
    import java.io.*;
    I do the steps from this web page http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/tipps/oscalls/index.html
    The page is in german, but for experienced users the code on this page says everything.
    In apex i have an application which calls this function with the "move" command in a sql-report region.
    Let's say move c:\work1\file.txt c:\work2\file.txt
    Everything works fine on one host(pc) but if i want to transfer the file from my host to another one then
    i get the messgage "no access" although i have read, write access on the other host.
    By the way, on both hosts i have admin rights.
    Why can't i transfer the file over a network ?
    Thanks in advance for any kind of help.
    Regards
    Stefan

    I guess you are working on a Windows host. In this case Oracle processes are running as Windows services with a build-in MS system account. This account has no access to network ressources. You have two ways to get out of your windows box:
    Assign Oracle services a network enabled account, e.g. domain user with local administrator privileges. (I never tried this and I don't like to recommend it.)
    Use a command script for copying files and use explicite authentication within this script:-
    net use \\myserver\ipc$ tiger /user:scott
    copy c:\temp\xxx1 \\myserver\share\temp
    copy c:\temp\xxx2 \\myserver\share\temp

  • Windows 7 Professional downgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro OEM

    Hi,
    I purchased new computers for a small business with Windows 8.1 Pro OEM licenses and disks. I was intending to install windows 7 Pro using downgrade rights but when I enter the product key that came with Windows 8.1 it gives me an error with "Invalid
    Character".
    How can I activate Windows 7 Pro using downgrade rights from Windows 8.1 Pro?
    Thank you.
    André Gomes

    You cannot use a Windows 8.1 product key with a Windows 7 installation.  You must "activate by phone" and hold on to speak with a Microsoft Activation
    Specialist and explain your desire to invoke your downgrade rights to Windows 7.  The Microsoft Activation Specialist will then review your request and if approved, will issue you an activation code for Windows 7.
