Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?
I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan. It started giving problems after few weeks of use. Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk. Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues. Any idea about this issue and how to fix it? My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)? Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
Many thanks for your valueable advice.
Regards,
KK
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.

How do I re install windows home premium OA?
I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive. I have the product key that is on my computer. I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top.
When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 . Can you give help me with the proper link? thank youPlease provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc. -

Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium
I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?
Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part. -
S205 w/ Windows Home Premium not recognizing Integrated WebCam - Windows 7 Drivers?
I just got an awesome deal on an S205 netbook. Everything is great except that I cannot get the WebCam to work. This is a deal breaker. If I can't figure it out I'll be returning it.
So far I have tried various things. When I first started this I couldn't figure things out. There was no camera in the Device Manager and nothing obvious on the system (hardware, software) about a camera, except that I can see it, physically on the netbook and know it came with a WebCam. How to use it? Nada. So I went to the Lenovo site & installed a driver and then Skype. The microphone works in Skype, but no picture. Totally black. However, it automatically brings up Lenovo YouCam when you test the video in Skype. So that helped as this software was not recognizing a camera either, so I knew it wasn't just Skype.
Then I figured out that I needed to hit Fn+Esc to enable the webcam. I thought that was the ticket. However, as soon as I did that I got a message that the USB device was not recognized. I uninstalled the driver and went back to reinstall it to see if that might help, however at this time I realized that the driver's on Lenovo's site for the s205 are for XP not Windows 7. Seriously? Turns out there are two different sites. http://support.lenovo.com and http://consumersupport.lenovo.com The later has the Windows 7 version, the first site lists Xp drivers ... Installed the W7 Driver again, but still not working or recognizing the camera ... Anyway, I am not a techie, but I am pretty decent at figuring stuff out or Googling and researching this stuff online. Or following your directions/suggestions. From my searching so far no one seems to have this exact issue. Most it is either not having software to use the camera or not having it enabled and neither of these are my issue. Any ideas for what my next step should be? Details on my system below. Thanks!
Lenonvo ideaPad - 11.6" 1366x768 LED; AMD Dual-Core E-350 1.6GHz; 4GB RAM; 500GB HDD; 802.11n; Windows 7 Home Premium; ATI Radeon HD6310M graphics; webcam; 6-cell battery
Solved!
Go to Solution.I've had some webcam issues, too.
Sadly, the webcam device ID is not listed in the driver available for download at the support page.
Thus, installing this driver is pointless.
Nevertheless, you can force the driver installation and it will work as it should.
Please have a look at the device manager.
Double-click the unknown device, go to Details and select the Hardware ID property.
It should be USB\VID_5986&PID_0292&REV_1403&MI_00
(In case you got a different VendorID/ProductID, google them. You should quickly find something. Be sure this device is the webcam and not some other device. Otherwise don't continue.)
Now unpack the driver setup file with 7-zip or WinRaR.
Back to the Device Manager -> Double-click the device, select the Driver tab, click Update Driver and browse for the extracted folder. You will need the Bison subfolder.
Good luck. -
HP Printer Control App installed on my pc windows 8 but wont update in windows store
Ii have downloaded the hp printer control app on my desktop pc which is windows 8, it shows my printer which is the HP Photosmart B110a its product number is CN245B.

lollykaye2005A bit of a shot in the dark, but this appears to be an issue with pulling down the update from the Windows Store. I have not run into this issue directly, but this thread has a lot of information.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_store/windows-8-apps-are-pending-...
The one tidbit that might help here from that thread is:
"finally I found a solution. go to troubleshooting (press win+w >then type troubleshooting). now a window opens in desktop. click "fix problems with windows updates". now click next. windows will search for solutions, but it wont find anything. then windows will ask if u want to try in administrator mode. click yes. windows will find and solve the problem. that's it."

Laserjet 4240n driver does not work with windows home premium 64 bit
I recently was given a HP laserjet 4240n by my employer to use in a remote office. I am using a Windows version 7 home premium 64 bit laptop. I have tried the HP install wizard - no support for this printer. I have tried downloading the "correct" driver - but that doesn't work either.
I assume that there is something wrong but I have spent hours and still haven't been able to figutre out what is wrong and how to fix it!
HELP!

Repeatedly asked to install Flash 11 on IE 9 Windows Home Premium 64 bit
From my admin account - I successfully install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11. Everything works fine (in that same admin account) until a system reboot. Then I receive messages from websites stating that they want me to install Adobe Flash. I do so and all is well until the reboot.
I have followed all the instructions on the Adobe main troubleshooting pages from uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting through the deletion of folders at run %appdat%\Adobe - Flash Folder and %\Macromedia and then uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling etc.
Again, I receive a successful installation message and everything works properly until the reboot. Looks like a lot of users have had this problem, but I haven't found a clean answer. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I followed one suggestion and downloaded and ran Secunia PSI and found no older version of Flash Player installed. I do also have Adobe CS 5 Suite installed. I also started receiving messages from HP Solution Software that it would not operate until the latest version of Adobe Flash is installed. I uninstalled the HP software pending resolution. Uninstalls and reinstalls of Flash were not successful after removing the HP software either.Hello, I too have experienced the repeating of installing Flash Player after performing a successful install. The PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, and Flash Player 11.4.402.265. The installation of the latest FP indicates a successfull install. Then when going to any site that uses FP, for example, weather.com, yahoo news, youtube, a message window indicates the latest FP needs to be installed.
I've went through the steps in thread 4613512 (FP uninstaller), 928315 (clean install), 987370 (permissions errors), the steps in this thread including deleting the %Appdata%\Macromedia folders prior to the install, removed references to Adobe 7 in the Windows registry (running Adobe 10.1.4). Also checked that Windows Media Player was not installed. It is not. All of the functions in the steps within these threads seemed to complete successfully. No errors or other problems were indicated. Would you have any suggestions on something else to try? Thank you. -

my new laptop is windows 8. iPod is formatted for windows xp. new laptop knows iPod is there but wont update. how do I fix this?
hey there oddball35,
It sounds like you are trying to update your iPod with your new computer. Without knowing the specific symptoms, I recommend you start with choosing the iPod model you have from the following website:
iPod Troubleshooting Assistants
https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If that does not resolve the issue, are you getting any error messages, or what specifically is preventing the restore from happening?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I changed windows 7 ultimate changed to windows home premium
Ok, I want to thank the two people who tried to help me last time. I found out I had to install a new windows. So I went and found my friend could do it but me having windows ultimate he only hand windows 7 home premium... And well now that it works I have
a new problem... Along with the ultimate status gotten rid of, I now don't have the windows office. So like word, PowerPoint and excell.
My question is is there away for me to get it back without a fee or will I just have to go and buy the office pack stuff to replace it?To begin with, you need to purchase Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office, then install them. Microsoft doesn't allow free installation of Windows/Office. If your PC was shipped with Windows, contact the manufacturer and request for a Windows installation
disk. They may charge based on the warranty status and the company policy.

Do you mean that you cannot install updates and print anything in Windows 8.1?
And I assume that you use dism to install the update package, right?
If so, could you tell us the specific update name? so that we can do more research on it. Also, the windowsupdate.log in C:\Windows folder.
In the meantime, you can reset the Windows update components:
Automatically reset Windows Update components
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/971058
For the printing issue, error message or any related information in event viewer would be helpful to find the root cause.
But restart the print spooler service would be a good start.
