Says Windows 8 on the box, but appears to be Windows 7 Pro inside

I purchased the Envy 20-d013w Touchsmart desktop. I started it up for the first time the other night, and after filling in a couple of numbers that were requested, was surprised to see Windows 7 Professional as the operating system. The box clearly states Windows 8 as the OS, however, so why is this not the case? In reading other reviews for this desktop, all the reviews that mention the OS state that they are running Windows 8, so something is amiss.
Let me know if there is something I need to do to enable Win 8. Thank you.

Here are the specs for your HP ENVY 20-d013w TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model was shipped with Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit). If the unit doesn't have Windows 8, contact the seller or HP Customer support for assistance.
Pease send KUDOs

  • Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different plug sockets, different plugs/cables, help

    Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...

    Grumpy Gator,
    Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
    And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
    If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
    Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
    Hope this helps.

  • WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

  • My iphone 3g is disabled,  its says connet to itunes,i tired in itunes but its says locked with the passcord .but there is no space to enter passcord

    my iphone 3g is disabled,  its says connet to itunes,i tired in itunes but its says locked with the passcord .but there is no space to enter passcord pls help

    You'll have to connect in recovery mode iOS: Unable to update or restore
    After that follow this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Call id on TV, feature is on the box but can't get it to work, at least a NY issue...

    I was told a bunch of things from a bunch of places..
    Story 1: source: some ad I read) Call-id on TV needs either digital voice or a regular fios pots phone + fios internet.  I have the latter & the feature does show up on the box but when I try to enable it, I get an error that I need the call id feature on my phone to make it work.
    Story 2, source: fios support 12/18/09) I hear that the feature is currently only available to customers with Digital Voice & it looks, to him, like its available in NY.  He advised me to contact support later this morning (when they start as it is currently about 4am) & see if I can change the service over to digital voice, he advised me he thinks it is the same if not cheaper.  He said it will require the replacement of the ONT.
    Questions:
    1)
    Do I need digital voice to make this feature work?
    Either way, is this service available in NY?
    Does it cost more then the fios standard phone, is there an additional fee for a service call or to have a replacement ONT installed?
    2)
    If I don't need it, when will it be available for regular pots phone customers in NY?
    Otherwise, it should be understood that the feature doesn't work at all in NY; I mean, it is in the list for the settop box but it is unable to be turned on.  I know this cause I have seen posts on another forum of people from at least NY, complaining they have the same problem I have.

    There is a long thread on this at another forum..
    http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23501543-IMG-Caller-ID-on-in-New-York
    It is normal for the box to start showing the option before it's actually live.
    You won't need any service call or change of equipment. it will just start working when it's live.
    From that thread some areas of NY have it. Verizon doesn't announce schedules on anything too much so you are highly unlikely to get an answer to "when".

    You can do it by manually managing music and videos. See:

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.

    Please help!  I try to connect to the Internet but appears inscription There is no expansion of kernel PPP. Yesterday I used internet through the same connection- Dsl pppoe. Wi fi cannot connect too. On ipad and iphone it is work.

    That's odd.
    Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
    Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
    If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
    The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL.

  • Why can you run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows

    I dont understant why you can run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows.  Any help.  I would purchase OS X Mountain Lion if you gave me a way.

    Microsoft builds software to run on other companies' hardware, pretty much exclusively if you don't count the long line of failed devices: Zune, Windows phone, and now the Surface.
    Apple builds hardware. They support that hardware with their own operating system. It is designed to run only on their very tightly integrated hardware. Trying to write software for the plethora of crap being sold would be a failing proposition and would divert resources away from the great software they provide for their hardware customers.
    The hardware and software are very well engineered to provide the best possible experience.
    If you want to experience a Mac, buy a Mac.
