Recover Pavilion g7 with downgrade rights

I would like to recover notebook that shipped with Win8 to new clean install Win7 sp1. Model g7-2247, HP driver page doesn't list any Win7 drivers. If someone could point me to another simmilar model that shipped with win7. Intel i3 chipset

@HarleyW ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. What you have here is a system that only has supported drivers for windows 8.
If you want to downgrade to windows 7 you are on your own to find drivers that may work.
Most drivers are standard however when dealing with notebooks allot are proprietary and you will end up with issue.
Unfortunately there are no supported drivers for windows 7 for your notebook so you will have to use the OS that is supported or venture out into the unknown here.
Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

Downgrade Rights 8.1 Pro to 7

Hello All,
I have been searching for a bit but haven't found exactly what I am after, so I thought I'd ask around and see if anybody can help me out.
We recently brought 10 machines (E550) into our environment (20 more on the way) with 8.1 Pro installed. We have a custom image of Windows 7 Pro we would like to use. The image is generated from a retail copy of Win 7 Pro that has been fully patched and customized with some common line-of-business applications we regularly use. This allows us to generate new machines very quickly without having to deal with heavy amounts of patching and customization and is a real time saver for us.
We are a relatively small organization and don't have a VL account with Microsoft and as such, we've been relying on the OEM keys provided with the machine to activate our copies of Win 7.
Now, with the new machines, we are able to view the embedded SLP key for 8.1 Pro but we cannot activate it against our retail copy of Win 7 Pro like we could with previous OEM keys ('Invalid key' or 'key entered incorrectly' messages). We meet all the requirements set out by MS for downgrade rights but I cannot find any way to make it work, outside of purchasing VL upgrade keys and using those- a huge additional expense for software we already purchased when we bought the equipment.
Has anybody found a workaround to using the embedded key? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll respond back right away.

Have you looked at this, http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/Pages/downgrade_rights.aspx
I have not actually tried a downgrade but the only thing I can think of is there is a difference between reimage and install. Not sure if that is your problem.

How to upgrade to Win 8 from "Win 7 Pro 64 preload through downgrade rights in Win 8 Pro 64"?

If I buy a new W530 that according to the tabook has "Windows® 7 Professional 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 8 Pro 64-bit" how could I in the future upgrade to Windows 8 with minimum hassle?
Am not really interested in spending the time on clean installs so am wondering if there is a hidden Windows 8 preload behind the visible Windows 7 preload, for instance available through Lenovo support sending me Windows 8 recovery disks for the W530.
T500: Vista 32, 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 15.4" 1680x1050, 500GB 7200rpm, ATI Radeon HD3650 + Intel 4500MHD. T42: XP, 1.7GHz, 2GB RAM, 14.1" 1024x768, 250GB PATA, ATI Radeon 7500.

Downgrade rights

i asked if i should get xp or vista. i think everyone recomends xp. someone told me about downgrade rights and heres a website about it http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/f/4/5f4c83d3-833e-4f11-8cbd-699b0c16418 2/royaltyoemreferencesheet.pdf im want to know if anyone can explain it to me a little more. i have a copy of xp mce for my windows computer and i want to get xp for my macbook pro. i understand that if i buy vista i can use the xp i already have and put it on my macbook and keep it on my other computer. can someone help me a little cause im not sure if thats right and if it is how would i do that. wouldnt i need another serial for xp?
thanks.

No, that's not correct. Downgrade rights mean only that if you buy a computer that has Vista on it but you still need to run XP (it being difficult now to buy a new computer with XP), you can (in some circumstances, spelled out in the document you refer to) legally install XP on that computer. Your OEM copy of Windows XP is licensed only for use on the computer with which it came, regardless of whether or not you buy a copy of Vista.
If you want to run Windows on your Mac, you must buy a new, retail copy of XP Professional or Vista Business or Ultimate (Home edition licenses do not allow running on virtualization systems).

How do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?

Yes, how do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?
The blue function keys currently do not work.
There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
Let me repeat that so that nobody posts a stupid link to how to turn on the function keys in the BIOS. THIS IS AN OLDER LAPTOP.
There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.

Somehow the function keys got turned off. So I suspect there's a way to turn them on again.

Hello;
I read your post and here's the thoughts that came to mind : ( my largest concern is you might restore something that damages your current system )
1. So you want to restore the whole DB back to 12/06/2012 to get some tablespaces from then right?
2. Are you restoring to a different system?
3. How did you start the database ( NOMOUNT, MOUNT )
4. If you are restoring the whole DB back to 12/06/2012 how did you restore the control file?
5. Your command shows :
restore tablespace SYSTEM,UNDO_GEN01,UNDO_GEN02,TAB_80K_GENCON,TAB_25M_GENCON;
COMMENT : Generally I use recover tablespace for point in time recovery and use an auxilary destination.
Meaning I don't use restore at all, in fact using restore may cause an issue.
SUMMARY : I don't see how this will work as is.
It seems you want data from five tablespaces from about six months ago including the SYSTEM tablespace.
This is an Incomplete Recovery. I believe I would rethink this completely.
Give the time that has past I would consider restoring the whole database to a different server where cannot damage anything.
Once this is done I would decide how to get the data I need.
Or I would check for a daily export file and recover the tablespace data that way.
So you have some good details on your question but it seems the plan is either missing something or you need to add a few more details.
Example
I'm recovering old tablespaces into a test system.
Here's how I'm not damaging my current production system.
I don't have an export from that date.
So take a step back and either rethink or give a few more details on how this is safe.
Best Regards

Does CC14 offer downgrade rights

I am a licensing specialist and I am trying to find out if CC14 offers downgrade rights meaning if you buy a CC14 subscription but use an older version of creative suite under this license. I can see that the users dashboard offers the possiblity to download version CS6 but when I read the manual how to install it says the following:
From your Adobe Creative Cloud application, you can install an earlier version of Adobe’s applications (assuming you have a license that is registered using the same Adobe ID), in addition to the CC versions. To do it, make sure you have the latest version of the Creative Cloud app itself. At the top of the window showing the applications you can install you’ll see a dropdown labeled Filters. Simply choose “Previous Version” (pictured below) and — if your previous version is registered to the same Adobe account as you are using for the Creative Cloud — you’ll see the option to install the earlier version of the application.
This suggests that if you want to download CS 6 from the Creative Cloud download portal, you actually need a license for CS 6 that is registered to the same user ID as your subscription. The question is can I use CS6 instead off CC 14 under a CC14 subscription that is registered in my name? And a second question I have is, is it possible to use even older versions with a CC14 license? e.g. CS5 or CS5.5.
I really cannot find any decent information on downgrade rights.
Thanks a lot!

This may help: Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud / Common Questions
"Do Creative Cloud members have access to previous versions of Creative Cloud apps?
Yes, you can install previous archived versions of the apps from Creative Cloud on your desktop, as well as from the Creative Cloud Desktop Apps page. Archived versions are provided “as is” and are not updated to work with the latest hardware and software platforms.
Currently, the CS6 and CC releases are archived and available. In some cases, more than one CC version of an app is archived and available."

Getting my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 back to normal after a system recovery.

I did a system recovery for my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 and have all of my files on a SanDisk thumb drive. How do I get my laptop's files, folders, shortcuts, applications, etc. all back to the way they were?

Hello marinegf. I understand you've lost your sound after performing a System Restore.
What is the product number for your notebook? There are many versions of the HP 2000 and this will make it easier for me to locate any appropriate software. This document can show you how to identify the notebook by the product number.
Also, it may be helpful to know what issue you encountered which led you to perform a System Restore.
The first suggestion I can offer you is to run Microsoft's Audio Troubleshooter. Here is a link to the utility.
If the troubleshooter is unable to resolve the issue I suggest you next try removing the driver and allowing Windows to perform the reinstall. I assume you're using Windows 7, so these instructions will be for Vista/7.
Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
Reboot your computer and allow Windows to perform the reinstallation of the driver.
Verify whether or not you have sound and post the result!
I'll keep an eye out for your reply. I hope you have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Windows 7 Pro installed through downgrade rights

If a pre-configured machine comes with Win 7 Pro "through downgrade rights," does that mean the key would also work with Win 8 Pro?

Hi John_B,
please take a look at this thread in the W seies board, hopefully it will help answer your question.
The W7 key is embedded in the Lenovo factory image so you will need to create recovery discs.

TCP works only with IP right?

TCP works only with IP right? Then if I want to communicate with a devise that does not have an IP (my television) I cannot use TCP right?
Regards,
Sim085

Why would I post without being 100% correct:
Just trying to point out at a high level that if you use something else to move the TCP then you'll eventually have to implement the functionality that IP gives you.
To those that insist that you HAVE to use IP to move TCP, the answer to that is NO! That's like saying that IP has to use Ethernet. You don't. All IP provides is addressing and routing.
An example of an IP alternative is TULIP: http://www.techiwarehouse.com/cms/engine.php?page_id=2b7e10ac
A network diagram that uses TCP and NO IP:
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cache/papers/cs/4058/ftp:zSzzSzpaul.rutgers.eduzSzpubzSzbadrizSzitcp-tr314.pdf/bakre95itcp.pdf#page=5
(ejb, please refer to your own post about misinformation.)
The port is in the TCP layer. Sorry, wasn't thinking there. Actually what I was thinking about is how more expensive NICs can decide if it should look past the IP header of a packet. By being able to ignore IP addresses it is not assigned it can save CPU time. Checking to see if it should listen to a port would be cool too, but that would take too much. A machine will only have a few IP addresses (at least one in the class A,B,C range, maybe a multicast address, at least one broadcast address) which wouldn't take much to store in the NIC. Listening to 1000s of ports is not unheard of.
For the author:
I'd design your chat program with two basic interfaces in mind. There will be guaranteed delivery and best effort. TCP gives you a grantee that either the packet gets to the receiving station or the sender gets an error. That's great until you want to talk Bluetooth.
Bluetooth, IR, and Serial comms are all basically the same in the WinTel world. You talk to them over a COMM port. Here you have no guarantee of delivery. Thus in the old days of downloading you had to use a protocol like ZModem to transmit files and make sure you got them all.
You'll need to implement you own guarantee of delivery for these. Basically look into what TCP provides and implement something similar with Java. Checksum, sequence number, and acks.
When you implement your chat, part of your own "network stack" would decide if it needed to transmit service guarantee information with the data at the application level or not. There is no point in incurring the overhead if TCP is being used.
UDP may work, but I don't trust it past a LAN. Some UDP packets will always be dropped by a router. One example is broadcast packets. I doubt any admins will let a broadcast come into their router. Also, because viruses propagate by broadcasting, a lot of admins may limit them to the subnet of the host. UPD is real good for streaming audio. Something when if you lose a packet you don�t want to recover it. If you�re listening to a game on the radio and there is a lightning strike. Would you rather hear the pop and still be in sync with the broadcast or do you want to fall a second or two behind �live� coverage? I think that UPD packets are more readily dropped by a congested router. That's working on the theory that "If the application doesn't care about the packet really getting there (it would have used TCP) then why should I when I'm too busy."

Hi,
Here's my understanding:
Windows 7 Professional 64: old school - Win 7 installed and CoA sticker with key in the battery compartment..
Windows 7 Professional 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 8.1 Pro 64: No Win7 CoA sticker. Win 8.1 key in BIOS. Win 7 installed. Usually Win 8 media included in the box. (I've seen reports that it sometimes wasn't included - verify that before purchasing).
The advantage of Win 7 old-school is that the CoA key can be used when doing a clean Win 7 install from Microsoft media. Advantage of the downgrade setup is that you also have Win 8.1 if you later decide to change OS. Disadvantage is that doing a clean Win 7 install requires some strange gyrations: Understanding downgrade rights
If you do go with the downgrade option, please make Win 7 recovery media when you receive your laptop. Otherwise if you switch to 8.1 at some point you won't have a way to go back to 7 easily.

Downgrade Rights Of Windows Server

Can I downgrade from Windows server 2012 to Windows 2008 , I got an update from the customer representative that I can do it, but they told me to check for the downgrade rights. I just want to know that how can I check that whether I have downgrade rights
or not and I also want to know how can I downgrade .

Hi,
Customers who have licensed software through a Microsoft Volume Licensing program are eligible to use prior versions of the software edition that they have licensed. This is known as a downgrade right.
If you have legally obtained physical media (CD/DVD) of older licensed Microsoft products that your organization is currently licensed to use through downgrade rights, you can use these prior software versions at your discretion.
With the release of new product versions, previously available products are removed from the VLSC as they become N-2 versions. Support for physical media purchases of these N-2 products through Microsoft also ends at that time.
If your organization continues to require access to specific prior version products, we recommend that you first contact your Microsoft reseller to determine whether they still have media inventory. If you received past shipments of physical Volume Licensing
media (comprehensive or subscription kits) or purchased physical CD/DVD media, you can continue to use these discs to install prior versions of products that are no longer available from the VLSC.
for oem licenses, Downgrade rights are documented in the Microsoft Software License Terms that
customers accept upon first running Windows and Windows Server software. Thanks
to downgrade rights, end users who have acquired a later version of the software (such as Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard) can use an earlier version of the software (such as Windows Server 2008
R2 Standard) until they are ready to migrate to a later version Technology.
To downgrade Windows Server software customers must:
Purchase a Server system licensed with Windows Server software.
Accept the Microsoft Software License Terms.
Perform the downgrade or down-edition process to the eligible
downgrade/down-edition product using the media/key from a genuine, previously
licensed OEM, retail or Volume Licensing Server product.

Windows 7 preinstalled through downgrade rights

When I ordered my T440s in March of this year I had the option of ordering it with either Windows 7 Professional or Windows 8 Prof or Windows 8.1 Professional in addition to the regular version of Win8. Each of the Prof. versions cost $50 more.
I had read somewhere that if I ordered it with Win7 Prof. that I could at some time later install Windows 8 Prof. since I was getting Win7 through downgrade rights. I paid $50 extra to get Win7 Professional rather than the standard version of Win8.
I just ran a configuration for a T440s today and noticed that the choices of operating system shows two Windows 7 options. Both cost $50. One is listed as Win7 while the other is listed as Win7 through downgrade rights. There was no two choices in March and even back then I had read that ordering Win7 was through downgrade.
So my questions are:
1) can I switch to Win8 Professional without any additional cost as I had understood?
2) if so how do I change over to Win8 Professional? I created a set of recovery disc for win7 but I don't know if it contains Win8 Prof.
part of the reason I'm asking now (more immediately) is that I had ordered the 500GB HDD with OPAL capability on it with the intention of implementing hardware encryption. I'm having problems finding any documentation or instructions on how to implement the hardware encryption (thanks a lot Lenovo) AND in searching the Internet it "appears" that I would need a version of Windows 8 to accomplish this as there is feature called edrive that is in Windows 8 (but not in Win7) that is required. (the only option for win7 laptops would be to utilize some third party software like WinMagic... which means it will cost me more money).
If it is true (that I need Win8) then I need to migrate to Win8 now, even before I really use this laptop. Which is why I'm asking about my "right" to migrate to Win8 Prof and how I would go about doing so.
thanks.

Re-Imaging + Downgrade rights Win 8 Vol license to Win 7 Pro Refurbished?

HI, is the following possible according to Microsoft licensing terms in Europe?
- I buy 100 x refurbished PCs with Windows 7 Professional Refurbished licenses (from an official Microsoft refurbisher)
- Then, I buy 1 x Windows 8 Professional Upgrade license.
Does this allow me to Downgrade my Windows 8 Professional license to Windows 7 Professional and do Re-Imaging with this 1 license and install it on my 100 PCs?
As far as I understand Microsoft-Licensing, it should be ok, but I want to make sure it is ok.
I read here (http://blogs.technet.com/b/volume-licensing/archive/2014/02/13/licensing-how-to-reimaging-rights-top-5-questions.aspx ):
2 - May I use reimaging and downgrade rights together to deploy a
prior version of the edition licensed?
Yes. If the underlying OEM or Retail license you are reimaging offers downgrade or prior version rights, you are a Volume License (VL) customer, and have the appropriate VL media and keys available that match the edition and language for the underlying
license, you are permitted to reimage a prior version. For more information on your downgrade rights, see the license terms applicable to your product, or see the
Downgrade Rights Licensing Brief. For more information about access to prior product versions, please see the
fulfillment website.
Many thanks!

The short answer is, yes, that is what the paragraph you quoted says. If you haven’t read through the
Reimaging Rights Volume Licensing brief, I would recommend it.
