Windows 7 Professional downgrade

Last year, I enquired about downgrading Windows 7 professional to Windows 7 Home premium, and the answer was
that clean install was needed on the Probook 4730s
After much delay, I'm ready to do it, though I have more queatiions.
I also have an HP 2000 Notebook, running Windows 7 Home Premium. For that laptop. , I purchased
the System Recovery DVD's #1 & #2. Also the appli cation and Driver REcovery DVD.(64 bit for both)
Can I use these to reinstall Win 7 Home premium on the other machine.
If not, where do I buy the correct operating system

Not sure why you want to go backward on Windows 7 since Professional has more features and will be more apt to do what you want to do more with. And no that will not work on other machine unless it is exact model and hardware and even then you will not be able to use the Product Key as well since it was registered to one computer already.

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.

XP on shipped T400 under Windows 7 Professional Downgrade Rights- Possible to Dual Boot?

I just received the laptop, and booted Windows XP, all configured and such. I then created recovery discs using the Lenovo utility. If I boot from these discs, will they give the option of installing Windows 7 in a separate partition and dual booting?
If no option is given to dual boot, then will discs allow installation of Windows 7, clean install, over the XP partition?
Also, I apologize in advance if I have missed a thread that directly addresses this question. Please direct me to it.
Thanks!

No, the recovery disks will restore Windows XP on the system. Lenovo doesn't support DualBoot configs.
>If no option is given to dual boot, then will discs allow installation of Windows 7, clean install, over the XP partition?
A clean install infers a format of the hard drive.
I have written a clean install doc for Windows 7 that should be posted in the next day or so.

Downgrade pre installed Windows 8 pro (pre-injected key) to Window 7 professional

Hallo,
we just bought a few Dell Vostro with preinstalled Windows 8 pro and the keys are pre-injected within the BIOS of the computer. There is no Windows 8 key on a sticker outside of the computer.
What is the right way to downgrade this Windows 8 pro to Windows 7 Professional ?
Thank you.
Wolfgang

Thank you for your answer.
I followed you link and came out on this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832566/en
>For a PC that has Windows 8 preinstalled by an OEM
>Obtain genuine Windows 7 Professional or Windows Vista Business installation media and the >corresponding >product key. You may have to buy a full-package product copy of the Windows downgrade >from a retailer.
OK - I have a Windows 7 Professional installation medium with key.
>Insert the media for the downgrade version of Windows into the PC, and then follow the installation >instructions.
I did it with success.
>Type the product key when you are asked to do this. If the software was previously activated, you can't >activate it online. In this case, the local Activation Support telephone number will be displayed. Call the >number, and explain the circumstances.
When it is determined that you have an eligible Windows license, >the customer service representative will provide a single-use activation code to activate the software. >Please be aware that Microsoft does not provide a full product key in this scenario.
I typed in the product key. The software *was* previously activated (still using it) - but I could activate it.
There was no need to call the support by phone and explain anything.
Abstract:
It *is* possible and legal to downgrade a Windows 8 pro OEM license with pre injected key in BIOS to Windows 7 Professional by using a different Windows 7 Professional key by using the windows 7 key a second time.
Can you please confirm this ? Thank you.

Lenovo G550 Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

This Notice refers to 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U models of the Lenovo G550 notebook PC’s only.
The 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U G550 systems ship preloaded with Windows XP Professional, and include a Windows 7 Professional upgrade disk.
Issue: When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, some users have been unable to successfully complete the upgrade.  The most commonly reported failure point is when the customer is asked to insert a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key. The Microsoft Upgrade process for Win XP to Win7 requires the upgrade to be executed from a ‘cold boot’. If the Windows 7 DVD is inserted while the system is running, the installation process will auto run. However, at the end of the installation process, the system will ask for a 25-key Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The Win7 upgrade process will not successfully finish the installation using this method. The installation DVD must be inserted while the machine is powered off and not running.
When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, Microsoft advises that this process be done via a custom ‘clean’ installation.  Per Microsoft.com; "A custom (clean) installation erases the contents of your PC's hard drive. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7".  The clean install will remove any pre-loaded software applications, including VeriFace, One Key Recovery, and other applications that were installed by Lenovo or the user.
Customers should review the following information prior to performing the Windows 7 Professional upgrade.
The Windows 7 installation procedure provides a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional edition. During this process, all contents of the C: drive including all applications, files, programs and user data will be archived in the Windows.old folder.  The data should be available for access, but the applications and programs will not run, and Windows 7 appropriate versions will need to be installed. Lenovo STRONGLY recommends that external backups or all user data are made prior to initiating the upgrade in order to prevent permanent data loss.
Correct Windows 7 Upgrade Procedure:
1) Power off system
2) Insert Windows 7 disk in the DVD drive
3) Power on system and press F12 to access the boot order menu
4) Select the option to start from the DVD / Optical drive
5) Follow the on screen directions as Windows 7 installs
6) Remove the DVD at the end of the process and reboot to Windows 7
Windows 7 has native drivers that will fully support most of the hardware on Lenovo G550 systems.  In order to maximize the functionality of the Trackpad and the Power Management system, the appropriate Lenovo drivers must be installed. The most current Lenovo Windows 7 drivers and applications are available for download here. Please check this site periodically for updates.
Recovering to Windows XP by using One Key Recovery:
The One Key Recovery feature can restore the factory XP downgrade preload at any time, but will erase all other data.
Important: All user data should be saved prior to implementing the following procedure
      1) Power off the system
2) Press the recovery button (small round button next to the power button)
3) System will start and OKR (one key recovery) application will load
4) Select System Recovery from the menu
5) Select option to Restore to factory default
6) Click “Start” button to recover your system partition

Error message displayed: the product key will not work with this version of windows 7 and I need to reinstall or get a serial for windows 7 professional .
The recovery disk set is supposed to have an SLP key embedded, so that you do not need to activate it, as long as the disk set matches the OS version that is nominated on the COA attached to the laptop.
If it really does say "windows 7 ultimate", then there is something odd going on. Can you please double check that it says "ulitimate"?
With Windows 7 licening issues and keys, the terminology needs to be quite exact to get to the best answer for you!

Updated to Windows xp Professional - No Audi

Hello Friends
Help!! I upgraded my system too Windows XP Professional from Windows ME - Now I have no audio. I had also a problem with a printing. Lexmark was no help. Anyway, I purchase new printer problem solved except still no sound (Sound blaster Li've Card - 24bit). Successfully loaded software and hardware. But I still don't have sound. My wife bought computer from HSN homeshopping Network about 3yrs ago. I can DVD'S and CD's except for the audio. Checked volume control ok. Anyone have any ideas!!!!!

Hi Robert,
We recommend use XP mode in Windows 7 if you have the request to use Windows XP and it doesn't require you manually enter a product key. It has the same function of normal Windows XP you used previously.
Regarding to the downgrade rights to Windows XP, it is manufacture specific, for example, you can see the following link, it describes the details about Lenove Downgrade right from Windows 7 to Windows XP
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/vsta-dwngrd
So if you want the detailed information about this, please check in the manufacture website.

Question about the Windows XP Pro downgrade

I have been at an endless debate with myself when shopping for a new notebook. I will either purchase a Macbook, or a Thinkpad T400. First of all, I would like anyone's input on the Thinkpads in general, or on this model of anyone owns one. My primary motivation to get a PC is the fact that Macbooks (I don't have enough $$$ for a Pro) do not have a standalone graphics card. The major dissapointment I find with the Thinkpads is that I cannot simply select "Windows Xp Professional" as my OS. I see the option to buy Vista Ultimate with a downgrade CD for XP Pro, but I am skeptical. My real question is, does the "downgrade" CD give me an authentic version of XP professional, or does it still carry the characteristics of Vista (resource hog) and is just simply rearranged to appear like Windows XP? Thanks for the input.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

thetoolhead, welcome to the forum,
with the downgrade cds you get a full blown version of XP complete with all necessary drivers and Lenovo TVTs. As the XP is created with a Volume Licence there is no need for activation.

RE: X1 Carbon windows 7 Professional 64bit error message

Hi, Good Morning Everybody, I wish somebody here would advise me of my problem, Thanks.
Problem of Laptop
=================
[Message 01]
Hi, I bought X1 Carbon and found an error message when right click on the
1st page after startup. The error message reads
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: C:\Windows\System32\igfxsrvc.exe
File: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\ATLMFC\INCLUDE\

Expression: 0&& "Release called on a pointer that has already been

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see
the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
(Press Retry to debug the application)
By right, right click should show the menu of View, Sort by, Refresh,
......Screen resolution, Gadgets, Personalize, but just cannot access
into the right click menu immediately. I have to wait more 3 minutes and
get out of the error message, then the right click menu appear. Why is
this so?
Please advise how to eliminate the message and have the right click menu
immediately. Should I bring the laptop to your service center for repair
or you can email me the steps to solve this problem.

hi, head of customer service,
below is a chat log i had online for your review. My concern is that
everybody work for a living - if u r the specialist in this field, i
respect that u can foresee what is going to happen if u tell somebody who
is not a specialist to do a specialist's job. U should be able to provide
advice n the possible outcome if things do not work out right, because it
is the end user who needs to face it n live with it. Take for example, if
the office building was on fire n the human instinct is to fight fire
first. But the workers do not have the proper knowledge of fire n also
not equipped with good PPE. This worker probably called the fire
department to report a fire, n at the same time the fire department
specialist at the other end of the line told that worker to
"troubleshoot" the fire without giving him the possible outcome if the
fire blown out of scale, what price this worker will have to pay.
My questions are:
a) what is the goal of having on-line chat service? Is it to resolve
simple technical issues, that's why an average IT worker can do the job?
b) if the end user already knew the problem he is facing and he is
expecting the best advice/solution from an expert rather than from an
average IT worker, would it be better for the end user to go straight to
email? Or straight to the service center?
c) Is there a team work spirit between your chat section and service
center? Is it going to take a long time to communicate among themselves
when they face the same problem real time - meaning they can't talk to
each other over the phone to resolve the same problem which the end user
is facing? If they can discuss over the phone, and possibly the service
center also share the same steps to resolve the problem but could not be
sure if something goes wrong, the os of the laptop need to be
re-installed. Then, the end user would not have to do a double job - to
chat online and go down to the service center only find out that it is
the same answer. Would it be better for the chat person to do the double
job internally for the end user?

Saraswati (07:12:28):
Simaon , I would like to inform you that it is only the driver
reinstallation. It will hamper the system performance. It is the driver

Can I install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on Windows 2000 Professional

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have Windows 2000 professional edition loaded on my PC and I'm not sure what it allows. Can I load Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition of the database on this operating system, or do I need to load windows 2000 server software.
Thanks

Its a problem with oracle and pentium 4 processors actually. The solution involves renaming or deleting the symcjit.dll in the 8i installation package after you've copied the whole Cd onto your HDD!
I've tried this and it install OK, with a few errors along the way, now I can't get the apache server working, nor on the 9i AS that I've installed as well. Let me know if you get anything useful please?

O.S. Windows XP Professional Edition SP 2 (and installed .Net framework 2.0)
Antivirus: AVG 9.0 free edition
WEB Browser: Internet Explorer / Mozilla Firefox.
I tried to Install Oracle 11g R2 2 times, so I have formatted my computer 2 times because after the installation process, the Oracle Universal Installer don't respond.
Every time I installed the O.S., drivers, Antivirus, .Net Framework, Ms office, everything works properly.
I configured the network connection to use a fixed IP Address, I created the environment variables ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_UNQNAME (1st time its value was the same value of ORACLE_SID, 2nd time its value was the database global name) and then, I start the SETUP program, it run properly, but at the moment of finish the database creation this message appears: execute the commands: 1) define ORACLE_UNQNAME in database unique name 2) emctl.bat start dbconsole.
Through SQL Plus I can connect to the database, execute queries, the listener is working, but the database console service doesn't work. If I try to start it since command prompt (emctl start dbconsole) I get a message about the specific error 2.
What can I do??
Thanks in advance!

Good morning! I hope you are fine.
I appreciate your help.
Jean-Valentin: I opened a DOS box (logged as the Administrator User who installed Oracle), I changed the ORACLE_SID value and the result of the commands:
set ORACLE_SID=MGN
emctl stop dbconsole
emctl start dbconsole
emctl status dbconsole
was this one:
C:\Oracle_base\Home_ODB11gR2_Aug1st2010\BIN>emctl stop dbconsole
OC4J Configuration issue. C:\Oracle_base\Home_ODB11gR2_Aug1st2010/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_oraserver11_MGN not found.
Definitively, change the value of ORACLE_SID is not right. Then, I changed the ORACLE_SID again to its original value and the result was:
C:\Oracle_base\Home_ODB11gR2_Aug1st2010\BIN>emctl stop dbconsole
Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.1.0
Copyright (c) 1996, 2010 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
The OracleDBConsoleMGN service is not started.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.
C:\Oracle_base\Home_ODB11gR2_Aug1st2010\BIN>emctl start dbconsole

Starting Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control ...The OracleDBConsoleMGN service is starting...............
The OracleDBConsoleMGN service could not be started.
A service specific error occurred: 2.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547.
Using the ORACLE_SID original name, at least the emctl shows the OracleDBConsoleMGN as not started when I try to stop.
schavali: When I executed the Oracle Installation, the database configuration assistant showed this message:
The Enterprise Manager configuration was success with this warning: Error at start up database control, execute the commands: and you know, here start our history.
And the 3 steps of the database configuration assistant shows this:
Copying database files : Success (correct mark)
Creating and starting up database instance: Success (correct mark)
Finishing database creation: Success (correct mark)
I'll try to check the information of the link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/e10954/structure.htm#CACBBFGI
and then, I write again.
This cannot be... Oracle always works properly... is powerful... what is going on???
Thanks guys, have a great day!

Hi,
Sorry, this is an old entry aka a bug in the docu. Windows 2000 is not supported possible anymore by CE, (its not tested anymore). Most likely Windows XP without passowrd account also does not work anymore.

Exception_access_violation error on Windows 2000 Professional

Hello,
I am developing a stand-alone Java application that runs without any problem on Windows 98, XP, and most 2000 and NT machines. On some Windows 2000 Professional machines, however, attempting to run the program generates the following error. Is there something about the configuration of these machines that needs to be adjusted to make the program work? The JRE (1.4) and program installation are done in exactly the same way in each case. The only variation seems to be in the version of the operating system.
Any help much appreciated. Best reply gets 4 DD's!
Thanks much,
David

Yes, the user in question is logging on with full Administrator access. He suspects some kind of conflict with another application on the machine, but given that the two occurrences I've seen of this error have been on NT and 2K Pro machines, I'm inclined to think it's operating system related. Any more hunches?
