Windows 8 possible to install on HP Pavilion h8-1030nl

Hi, I would like to know whether it is possible to install windows 8(.1) on my desktop computer HP Pavilion h8-1030nl ?
thanks for answers

There is a program that will test your entire system. Be sure to have every device connected, and powered. It will analyze everything connected, and all your installed sofware. Neat huh?? So here goes, and enjoy. The program.
Now the question to you. WHY? Windows 8/8.1 is under so much turmoil. WIN9 has been scrapped. I suggest you google "WIN 10" and read all about it. It's a better scenerio. More on it later, for sure. See here.

Windows 8.1 install and HP Pavilion 23bw not working now as second monitor‏

Prior to the 8.1 upgrade everything was working fine.
I installed the latest driver from HP for this monitor which looks like it's from February of 2013 so probably not current for the Windows 8.1 update.
I should add that I'm running the HP monitor through a ThinkPad USD 3.0 Dock and using a Lenovo Yoga 11S

Hi
This looks like a issue with the graphics card drivers on the notebook.. have you tried updating the drivers of the graphic card after windows 8.1 update? if not try to do that.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to install Windows 7/8 from a partition on a separate drive?

Hi everyone,
Early 2008 Mac Pro with 10.8.2.
I have two sata drives mounted in my tower--the OS drive and a media drive.
I'm wondering if it's possible to partition 10 or so GB off of that secondary media drive (OS Extended Journaled, GUID), load the win 7 (or 8) ISO and install Windows through bootcamp via that new partition.
Alternately, I have an external USB drive (sata), and could possibly try that same method of formatting off 10 gigs and loading the ISO in a similar manner if bootcamp only checks between DVD media and USB for where it wants to read the installer file.
This method would circumvent the need for a blank DVD or a USB flash drive--both of which I don't currently have.
Does anybody have any experience with this?

I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent edition onto system that has an ASUS M3A78 Pro motherboard with 8GB of memory & an AMD Phenom II x3 2.6GHz Socket AM3 Processor
(X3 710).
I realize that this system doesn't support UEFI but I have an Adaptec 3805 RAID controller in this system that does support the advanced format hard drives, so I would think I should
be OK there.
Attached to the RAID controller are 3 - 1.5TB SATA Hard Drives in a RAID 5 yeilding 2.72TB's of usable space.
I followed the following process to convert the array to GPT.
I booted to the Server 2008 R2 Ent installation DVD.
I select next at the language \ time & currency format \ Keyboard selection screen.
Then I select the 'repair your computer' option at the following screen.
I do not select the 'repair' (default) option, but instead select the radio button above it (I forget what that's labeled) working from memory here - which gives me the option to
launch a command prompt.
I launch diskaprt from that command prompt.
First I selected the disk
list disk (this displays the installed disks)
select disk 0
The I converted the disk to gpt
convert gpt
Then I created 200 MB EFI partition:
create partition
efi size=200
Then I created MSR
partition:
create partition
msr size=128
Then I created primary
partition:
create partition
primary
...and it took remaining
available space to itself.
I assigned drive
letter C to this new first "primary" partition
Assign letter=c
I confirmed the order is:
I confirmed the partition order is:
ESP > MSR > DATA Partition
After all of that I restart into the Windows installation and attempt to install by selecting the newly created primary partition and am presented with an error that states:
“Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. (Show details)”
and the details show:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style."
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is it possible to install SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition on a Windows Server 2012 Standard Which is installed on a Virtual Machine that is created by Hyper-V?

Hi
I have recently bought a Virtual Machine from a data center and installed a Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition on it. As I tried to install the SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition, the data center administrator denied me to do this telling me it is not possible
to install any licensed Microsoft software on a Windows installed on virtual machine created by Hyper-V. It was really strange for me! I wanna know if this is true.
Thanks Everybody

Hi Farid,
For SQL server running on virtual server please refer to following article :

Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on macbook pro late 2013?

hi ,
Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on late 2013 macbook pro?
I have tried installing it twice but both of the time i got an error
Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.

Maybe people have found a solution already but yesterday I managed to install Win 8.1 as a BootCamp on my new 15" retina MBP. I followed the steps John Guo described but with a couple of changes as his approach failed for me.
1. Make sure you are starting from a single partition.
2. Create the Windows install USB from the ISO and also allow BootCamp Assistant to create download the drivers - but untick the option to install windows.
3. Open Disk Utility and create a new partition and format as MS-DOS (FAT) rather than leave as free space.
4. Restart your Mac and use the option to boot into the Windows part of the USB not the EFI-boot.
5. Follow the install
6. When it comes to the drive selection select the FAT drive. Windows installer will say it cannot install here as it needs to be and NTFS partitiion (in previous atempts I always got the message to say the partitiion was using GUI partition table so could not install even though it was formatted to NTFS).
7. The format to NTFS should work fine and install proceed.
8. When the installer reboots the machine you will need to use the boot option to ensure you boot back into Windows.
9. Once installed the bootcamp driver install runs automatically and for me all drivers run fine even the NVIDIA, which I've seen some people mention having issues with.
I was inpressed with Windows automatically scaling the text to 200%, which meant it was using the full 2880x1800 resolution so everything was crisp but the windows and text was scaled nicely. I changed this 150% to give me some more real estate.
I'm guessing that by formatting the new partition as FAT it creates a MBP within the new drive that is writable by windows but I'm not a windows guru so this is a guess. But anyway, this work perfectly.
hope this helps some people.

I installed an SSD in my optical bay, is it possible to install Windows 8 in that drive?

[15" late 2011 MBP with preinstalled 8GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD]
To the goddesses of this community:
Here's the deal. Although I love OS X, but let's be realistic, there are some softwares out there only run on Windows
Therefore, I am planning to buy an OCZ Vector 256GB SSD, transfer the OS X and all other files from the preinstalled 125GB SSD to the new OCZ Vector SSD.
Then, install the new OCZ SSD in the hard drive bay.
After that, wipe my old 128GB SSD, swap out my optical drive and install my old 128GB SSD in its place.
Here's the critical part: I plan to install Windows 8 on my 128GB SSD which is currently empty and sitting in the optical bay.
I have read some past posts saying it is not possible since 1. Boot Camp only allows Windows to be installed in the same SSD OS X is installed in. 2. You can not install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant without an internal optical drive.
I wish to know it the above infomation is still true. If not, how to install Windows 8 in my new SSD?
Thank you very much!

A couple of things to note - first, you can't use Boot Camp to install Win8 on any drive except yoru start-up drive. Second, you'd want the SSD to be in the main HD bay, not the optical bay, if you plan to use it as a bootable OS X device.

Is it possible to install a complete Windows 7 System into a single partition?

The computer I have came with Windows 7 pre-installed. Instead of supplying a recovery disk the manufacturer provided a recovery partition, which of course will be useless should my hard drive fail which is the one event everyone wants to be prepared
to handle when it happens. This recovery partition doubles as a newly designed boot manager which is quite a different animal than what I was accustomed to with Windows XP and prior releases. The recovery partition is also the active partition
and from what I've read I have the idea that I will not get the desired result if I should try and make the main Windows 7 partition (i.e., C: drive) active. While I have used boot managers and think they have merit the idea that my main Windows partition
is incapable of being booted is something that I think is a very bad setup.

Hi Snook red,
In addition to what has already been suggested by everyone here. If you perform a clean install of Windows 7 using default settings on an unpartitioned disk, after setup you will find 2 partitions in Disk Management:
(No Letter):100 MB
Primary Partition, System, Active, this is the boot partition, which contains Bootmgr and the Boot folder.
C: Primary Partition, contains system file such like Page File, crash Dump file. This is the Windows partition.
This partition is being created for a few main reasons:
Bitlocker requires that the boot files and Windows files be separated. This is why Windows Vista needed the Bitlocker Drive Preparation tool. Also, this system partition may be used by utility software, such as backup problems, to support dual boot scenarios.
Protect against delection, such as in a dual boot scenario. It is easy to lose the boot files due to a format when reinstalling an OS which is on the system partition. In this new configuration, the Windows partitions can be formatted without impacting system
boot.
The drive received no drive letter as further protection against accidental deletion of the boot files.
For a single drive system, you can use these steps to create a single partition on the drive, to prevent the creation of the 100 MB system partition:
Use Shift + F10 to open a command prompt while at the “Where do you want to install Windows” step of setup.
Use the following commands to create the partition:
Diskpart
Select disk 0
Create part prim
Active
Exit
Close the command prompt and then click Refresh in the setup wizard to reflect the change.
Note: If you need to remove all existing partitions from the disk, you can use the “clean” command after “select disk 0” to remove all existing partitions.
If you have already installed your system on your computer, you could move your boot file with your system by using
BCD boot
Important: The use of a separate system partition is encouraged, to help reduce the occurrence of problems with startup. If possible, keep the default behavior whenever possible.

Is it possible to install Adobe Web Premium CS5.5 on a Windows 8?

I have purchased Adobe Web Premium CS5.5 as a Student version.
Currently I run it on a Windows 7 PC.
I want to buy a new notebook and wonder whether it is possible to install my Adobe Web Premium CS 5.5 on a Windows 8 PC?
Alternatively, is it possible to use my Adobe Web Premium CS 5.5 on a MAC?

Dear Eshant_Jindal,
thanks for your answer.
And is it possible that I use my current license for a MAC? I am not sure whether I have bought a WIN license or a general license?
I know that the system requirements of Adobe Web Premium CS 5.5 do not specify Windows 8.
This is why I have contacted you. So there is no better answer than “Try it”? Does it work on an average Windows 8 computer? Which system constraints need to be regarded?
As I have not bought the new computer, I could pay attention to any system constraints that could endanger the installation of Adobe Web Premium Cs 5.5.
Best regards

Is it possible to install a non HP Branded Windows 7 OS on a HPE h8-1360t.

Hi.
I would like a clean install of Windows 7 Professional.
I have a new OEM copy of it just waiting to be installed without any unnecessary HP branded software.
Will it work?
TIA

Yes it is possible to install a retail copy of windows 7, however there will be issues with drivers. The hp software build that came preinstalled on your product already has all the drivers for windows 7 for graphics, sound, LAN etc. that are compatible with Windows 7. You will most likely need to install the original drivers from the hp website if the native windows 7 drivers do not work. Before doing this make sure you have recovery disks for your product in case you need to revert back to the original configuration.

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on my Satellite M40X?

Hi,
I tried to update on Windows 7. Now I am looking for a driver for audio, network and massstorage. Is it generally possible to install win7?
Thanks

Hi
Win 7 is definitely possible. I could install Win 7 on my 6 years old notebook even if the drivers were not available.
I used this instruction to find out what device my notebook support and could search using google for Win 7 drivers:
[How to identify an unknown device?|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD0302U00000R01.htm]
But to be honest, its difficult to find all Win 7 drivers for such units the point is that even chip manufacturers dont provide Win 7 drivers for older chip/devices.
However in most cases Windows 7 uses own standard Microsoft drivers.

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 machine? I 'm currently using windows XP.
thanks.

Hi buddy,
Do you really think about Windows 7 installation on many years old Satellite Pro 6100???
In my opinion this will not work because its too old and not fast enough. Newest OS that is supported from Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for this oldie.
So just be satisfied with Windows XP, its a good choice for older computers! :)

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Retina MacBook with a shared CD drive?

My school provides Windows 7 Ultimate upgrades to students
My friend installed Windows 7 normally even though it's technically an upgrade (burned the .img file to a DVD using Disk Utility and installed it through the Boot Camp Assistant tool in Snow Leopard)
I own a 2008 MacBook which has an optical drive
I own 1, 2 GB thumb drive and 1, 4 GB thumb drive
Is it possible to install Windows 7 through my Retina MacBook Pro through a shared CD connection with my 2008 MacBook?
I tried using the Boot Camp Assitant tool.
I burned the Windows 7 upgrade .img file to a DVD with Disk Utility just like my friend
I copied that DVD as a .cdr file to my Retina MacBook using the shared CD connection and Disk Utility, and changed the file extension to .iso
With the Boot Camp Assistant, I set-up my 4 GB thumb drive
When I get to the "Create a Partition for Windows" screen and I press install, I get the message "The installer disc could not be found".
The DVD is in my 2008 MacBook and I mounted it on the Retina MacBook. The 4 GB Windows set-up thumb drive is connected to the Retina MacBook.
I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated.

Is It Possible to Install Windows 7 on a GUID Partition Table Disk?

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a GPT disk?
I created a RAID 0 array on my dual Xeon 5580 system and tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM. When I got to the "Where do you want to install Windows" part I used shift-F10 to open up a command window, then I used diskpart to create a GPT with the following partitions:
Disk 0 Part 1 - 102 MB EFI System
Disk 0 Part 2 - 128 MB MSR
Disk 0 Part 3 - 500 MB Primary
Disk 0 Part 4 - 7446 GB Primary
But there was a message "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3 (show details)" - clicking on "show details" gave me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
What gives? I thought Windows Vista and beyond supported GPT.
The problem with MBR is that you can't have a file system larger than 2 TB.
