Hi,
Microsoft has a tool which is similar to Windows 7 Advisor for Windows 8 called Windows 8 Upgrade Assisstant . Please download the Assisstant and run on your machine:
   http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8
Closely check the report to see CAN IT RUN or NOT.
Good luck.

  • No sound after installing windows 7 on HP Pavilion dv1710us Notebook PC

    I recently helped my uncle install windows 7 on his HP Pavilion dv1710us Notebook PC
    and there was no sound after installation.. i downloaded several drivers for the realtek high definition audio driver (R2.39, 38, 37, etc)
    then i tried the original driver from the HP drivers page and installed it.
    usually when there is no sound, there would be a red X on the volume icon, but when i installed the original driver from the HP drivers page, there was no more red X.. Thinking that the sound was fixed, I tried to go on youtube and watch a video... i see the green bar moving up and down on the volume slide, but then i can't hear anything.
    So is there any realtek high definition audio driver compatible for windows 7 on the HP pavilion dv1710us?
    Is there something I have to do, like right click on the application and then change compatibility settings?
    thanks in advance.

    I got it to work with windows 7 32 bit. I just went to hp website to support and downloads section. Type in your model number, then select windows xp as the operating system. Then download the audio driver and save it to your desktop. After the file is on your desktop you need to right click on it and click properties, then go to compatability tab and tell it to install as windows xp service pack 3. Hit apply then install. Hope it works for ya, worked for me.

  • Problems upgrading to Windows 10 on HP Pavilion DM1 Notebook

    The Notebook is curently running Windows 7 Professional and I have been running the Windows 10 upgrade.  It goes through the first install and re-boot and then on the second phase when it is installing drivers it gets to 71% and reboots with a blue screen, I think  displaying as ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NO EXECUTE MEMORY but it is not up very long so I am not sure and rolls back to Windows 7.  I have tried disconnecting external devices, tried a clean boot, tried updating all the drivers, turning off the wifi and leaving it on a LAN only connection to no avail.  I have managed to updated a desk top pc to Windows 10 with only a little difficulty even though Windows decided the display driver was not compatible, so this is a real puzzle.

    Thank you. No, Kaspersky was not installed, and I have never installed it. Is it used by McAfee, as it is sometimes bundled with Acrobat Reader? I installed it once in an update and removed it immediately. Anyway I found this file registered twice in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and in a sub folder, it was not related to any existing process so I deleted it, tried the upgrade again and it completed this time. So for anyone else with this problem look for the file name after ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NO EXECUTE MEMORY when the blue screen comes up, which is very brief, and then delete that file. In my case it was kl1.sys. This was not however recorded in the report that appeared after the system rolled back to Windows 7. Problem solved.

  • Missing driver ( ACPI\HPQ6007\3&11583659&0), windows 10, HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC

    Hi, After upgrading to windows 10, my HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC is missing this driver: ACPI\HPQ6007\3&11583659&0 If someone which on I can use because windows 10 and the HP auto detect can't find anything. Thank you.

    Hi: You need this driver for that device... This package provides HP 3D DriveGuard Software (HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection) for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

    I am having problems with my HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) Intially Windows 8 was installed but I got windows 7ultimate for it and now I'm missing the drivers for it.
    I don't know how to fix this problem, I have tried everything. I downloaded an program called DeviceDocter and it downloaded the thing but then an error saying. Your system does not meet the miniumum requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled. (9996). It says AMD USB Controller Driver. It should work on my computer since it's Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Please help me fix my ports. Just my 2 ports on my left side of the computer isn't working. The right side of the computer port is working.

    Thanks for the help, but I found the program to fix it. After searching for hours. I stumbled upon this link and it finally worked and the unknown device was only my headset and the other one I just updated by making it search online for the software. Here is the link for other people to use to fix their usb port problems. - http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?javax.portlet.begCac...

    When installing the audio driver, was it installed by following the prompts or in compatibility mode as outlined here?
    Based on the Software and Drivers page for this unit, the unit was not tested and certified for Windows 8.  This means that some functionality may not be the same since the unit was not designed for Windows 8.  See this site for information and to find out if it has been tested for Windows 8.
    If the sound driver has not been installed in compatibility mode, then I recommend using the Windows 7 64bit driver found here and using the linked steps above to install it in compatibility mode. 
    Let me know what happens.

  • HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC 17-e046us Windows 7 Drivers for LAN

    Hello, 
    I just bought a HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC 17-e046us
    I've already installed Windows 7 64bit Professional (Win8 was the default)
    Several of the components were registering with erors in Device Manager. 
    I was able to dig deeper into all the drivers that HP listed as 8 only, however the fine print said that most of them were compatable with Win7. 
    I'm still missing the following hardware IDs and would really like the help getting the Windows 7 64bit Professional drivers for the following :
    PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_1971103C&REV_07
    PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_1971103C

    Hello there,
    I've been searching in the forums but I couldn't find the answer I need before I format my computer.
    I own a HP Pavilion tx1325ep Notebook PC and I would like to know if I can install Windows 7 operating system.
    If so, shall I install the 32 or 64 bits version?
    Im sorry probably im repeating a question that was already answered but I couldn't find my answer and I dont want to take any risk before doing it.

    Hi:
    If you want to find out if your PC will run Windows 7, please download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It will let you know if your PC can run Windows 7 and if anything needs to be done to correct any issues the advisor finds:
    Link is below:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx
    According to the specs on your PC, it appears you can run Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit so you should be able to run Windows 7 32 or 64 bit.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01250469&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US...
    You need a minumum of 2 GB of memory for W7x64.  1 GB of memory for W7 32 Bit.
    As to what version you should install, I'll leave that up to you.
    Here is a little info on the differences.

  • BIOS for my HP Pavilion dm4 notebook i3-2310m Windows 7 (64 bit)

    Hello,
    I need some help in downloading a BIOS update to my HP Pavilion dm4 notebook i3-2310m Windows 7 (64 bit OS). I went to this web site after reading replies to other users' problems.  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5051... I downloaded the following BIOS update file and tried updating the BIOS (using InsydeFlash, which popped up when I run the sp56058.exe file). The InsydeFlash displays a message that this file sp56058.exe is not for my machine.
    Released: 2012-02-08
    File name: sp56058.exe [1/1, 4.25M]
    Version:     F.27
    Compatibility:

    Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

    Could some one please help me as to how I should go aboutupdating my BIOS, because my HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook battery does not charge, but is up and running when it is connected to the electric outlet.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @nsean 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having problems with your notebook batter and updating your BIOS.
    It is strange that it is saying it is not for your notebook when you got it from the support page, assuming of course it is the correct support page.
    Have you tried a previous version of the BIOS, from the same drivers page?
    Also have you tried to troubleshoot the battery and power itself?
    You may want to look through these pages related to the battery and power adapter to see if anything clicks.
    Using and Testing the AC Power Adapter
    Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
    AC Adapter Battery Charging Indicator LED Does Not Display Immediately When Plugged In
