HP Envy Dv7-7230us OS/Software :: Can't Download And Install FREE Windows 8.1 Upgrade

Jun 24, 2014

I attempted to upgrade my Win 8.1 ENVY DV7-7230US laptop to Win 8.1 via the App store. It said I had to clear all the updates first. So I went the System Updates Screen. When I clicked on it to see what updates were needed. The circling wait symbol appeared and never went away. I can not do any system updates, thus I can not download and install the FREE Win8.1 upgrade.

Dell :: Free Upgrade (Clean Vs Upgrade Install)

Nov 3, 2009

I should be getting my upgrade (Pro 64) within the next week and was wondering which method is better. I obviously know that it will run a bit faster for the first month or so with clean install, however, my concern is with the activation of the dell free upgrade version. Will it simply be boot the free upgrade disk and install and it will be activated fine? Or, is there more to it? Also, say a year from now I wanted reformat/reinstall win 7... How would I go about doing that with the dell free upgrade DVD?

HP/Compaq :: Clean Install With The Free Win 7 Upgrade Disks

Nov 18, 2009

I was just wondering about a couple of things since people started getting the free upgrade disks for Windows 7.

1. Can you use the media to perform clean install?

2. If not can you use the Key with another Media? Retail or OEM?

3. How will the activation process fall into place?

I know some tweaking will have to be involved to get it to work.

I got my upgrade kit for one of the laptops I have already but I haven't had time at all to play with them.

Dell :: Is The Windows 7 Upgrade Really Free

Sep 26, 2009

I am considering the Dell Vostro 1520 as a laptop but I am confused about the windows upgrade option (I would get Vista Home Premium to be able to get it as a start). Here's a link to the page:

http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/n...20&s=bsd&cs=04

I was under the initial impression that any dell laptop sold in the few months before Win 7 released would be eligible for the free upgrade.

But when I look in the lineup there's one that says "Windows 7 ready" for an extra $140?? Is that the only one that gets the free upgrade? It's not really free then and why not just buy it separately?

Acer :: Free Windows 7 Upgrade

Nov 18, 2009

I just made my weekly call to Mentor Media and this is the first time someone spent enough time to tell me something potentially encouraging about my Windows 7 upgrade. She indicated that this week they finally (her word) have given them some information when things would ship. She said my order would ship within 3-5 business days – maybe before – and encouraged me to call back Friday for an update. She said that e-mails typically go out 24-48 hours after it has actually shipped, and to not necessarily expect the web site status to change. Somehow I sensed she maybe knew something concrete this time instead of just having to say that they didn’t know.

I’m cautiously optimistic.

I already bought a new upgrade license for Windows 7 and was about ready to install it on my Acer, but hearing this am going to hold off a bit longer in hopes that I can save it to use on my older Vista desktop. Hope I’m not hung out to dry again being suckered into waiting just a bit longer …

Has anyone that has received their upgrade kit found that it does a BIOS upgrade? The BIOS on my Acer M1202 is SLIC 2.0 compliant and presumably won’t allow any OEM activation key to work on it until it’s 2.1 compliant. Just curious how they are doing this.

Sony :: Windows 7 Free Upgrade

Sep 29, 2009

I bought the FW460J/T with $50 mail in rebate, and I also get a free upgrade to Windows 7 from Sony. I have a few questions regarding the Windows 7 upgrade:

1. Do I have to mail in the UPC bar code? If yes, it might be impossible because I have to send the UPC bar code along with the $50 mail in rebate.

2. Should I buy the full version of Windows 7 for a fresh clean install even though I get a free copy of the upgrade version of Windows 7?

Dell :: Registering For Free Windows 7 Upgrade From

Aug 18, 2009

Does anyone else have a problem registering for the free upgrade to windows 7. Whenever I try to validate my service tag it says I should wait 10 days because my order might not be in the system. I order my E6400 early mid July. And it also says my system isn't eligible when it is.

I've chatted with a Dell person online and he was no help. He just gave me a number to call. I called that number and I had to talk to a lady with an Indian accent that didn't understand what I was saying. And I got transfer a couple times until some guy gave me a number to call, but I couldn't because they were closed or something. Now I call that number and they give me another number to call. Everyone keeps saying "I am not trained to handle this issue."

HP TS 15-j040us OS/Software :: Can't Download Driver Needed To Upgrade To Windows 8.1

Jul 20, 2012

I have a Touchsmart 15-j040us notebook that is now a little over a year old (now out of warranty). My laptop has been asking to upgrade to Windows 8.1 since the first week or two after I purchased the system brand new.
 
The update downloads just fine and begins the install but fails every time when it is trying to install the different devices. At that point the screen goes black, the laptop reboots and I get an error message saying that update did not work and that the system has been restored to its previous condition.
 
After working through HP tech support, including sending the laptop to them to reimage, I am still unable to perform the update, which means my laptop is incapable of running the apps and programs that HP says my laptop is ready to run.
 
I am fairly confident that the issue is the Nvidia video driver. The currently supported version (version 9.xxx) of the driver is not compatible with 8.1. HP has a driver listed that is compatible with 8.1 (version 10.xxx), but I can't download it until my laptop is running 8.1. Nvidia has posted on the site a driver that is compatible with both operating systems, but I can't seem to download and install it so that I can perform the update. How to download the driver from Nvidia so that I can perform this update?

HP/Compaq :: Windows 7 Install ErrorHP Envy 15

May 4, 2010

I downloaded and burned an ISO Win7 install file (legal, I am using a purchased key to register it), and wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 without all the HP Bloatware crap like the sticky at the top of this forum suggests.... and when the install is done its first restart, and is on the Completing installation... phase the second time, it gives me a:

"Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computers hardware".

Are you serious?

Does anyone have a fix for this please. I now have an inoperable, and un-installable brand new laptop. Sweet.

I am installing it via the USB DVD Drive, through a DVD (Not even a USB flash drive problem!). I have tried it twice now and it failed both times. I even tried reseting the BIOS settings to default.

It's obviously a glitch in something, because I was running Win7 on the laptop this afternoon.

Dell :: Free Upgrade For Shipping Delay?

Jan 3, 2010

Has anyone had any luck getting dell to upgrade anything because of shipping delay? Or offer discounts?

Specifically, I am thinking about trying to convince them to upgrade my warranty. I ordered a studio 17. the basic warranty is 1 year limited warranty with 1 year return to depot service. This is included in the base price. When I placed my order i upgraded (for $198 CND) to the 2 year limited warranty, with 2 year return to depot service, lojack+ accidental damage service.

I have been given the usual order delayed bullcrap like most of you. But is it possible to use this to get them to upgrade it to the 2 year NBD onsite service, lojack, and accidental? ($80 value over my original 2 year return to depot)

I am going to give it a shot this week when I can manage to find the time to sit on hold for a few hours. I will let you know what comes of it.

Anyone try anything similar? share your results

Apple :: Free Upgrade To ILife 09 For Recent MBP

Jan 6, 2009

I ordered a Macbook Pro (and no, I don't really care that the 17" came out now, it'd have been too hulking for me to carry around anyway) the day after Christmas and received it last Wednesday, the 31st of December 2008.

I see that Apple just released iLife '09. To be honest, I'd feel kinda ripped of if I had to pay for a new version so soon... do you think there would be any way for me to get an upgrade to iLife '09 for free?

HP Envy TS M6 OS/Software :: Can't Install Windows 8.1 Update On SleekBook

I have all current drivers and software.  It came with Windows 8 and I am trying to install 8.1.  It does well until the restart.  I do the restart and it gets part way through and the screen goes dark and hours later the screen is still dark.  I press the power button and it says something like :Trying to recover install" and from there on nothing happens.  I finally end up having to go back to windows 8.

HP/Compaq :: Bluray Upgrade Is Free Two Days After Purchasing

Mar 9, 2009

I bought an HDX16t on Saturday and got the default DVD drive w/out blu-ray support because the blu-ray was $50 more and I don't think I'd use it that much. With that said, I'd definitely like to have a blu-ray drive if it was free. So this morning I looked and the upgrade is now free.

It's probably unlikely, but would HP allow me to add the blu-ray drive to my order? Has anyone had success getting HP to do something like this? I placed the order on the 7th and it's estimated to be built by the 16th.

HP Envy 17 3277nr OS/Software :: Unable To Boot And Install Windows 8.1 From DVD

May 14, 2014

I have an ENVY 17 (3277nr) with windows 8.1 in it but I'm unable to update it since several months ago so I decided to reinstall the OS so I went to the windows site that lets you download an ISO image of windows 8.1 to burn it into a disc (right now I dont have a 4gb usb at hand but is also possible).
 
I already burned the disc by right clicking the ISO and selecting 'burn disc image' and changed the boot options but every time I turn on my computer all I see is a single underscore and then the regular windows 8 boot screen.
 
I already visited wbesites in this regard and I've read things like the windows 8 UEFI thing (not on my laptop since I've upgraded from w7) and the security settings on the BIOS but none of them seem to fix the problem.
 
Additional details:
 
Oddly, when trying to open the burned dvd it only says 4.37gb out of 4.37gb, do you think my dvd drive might be damaged?

I managed to install Windows 7 on it, but it doesn't recognise some hardware.
 
Luckily audio and video works as well as the touchpad and DVD-rom, but I don't have any of network adapters installed, nor USB, and I still cannot find any drivers for them.
 
It shows a dozen of pieces of hardware needed to be installed.

Apple :: Can I Install The Windows 7 Upgrade Via Bootcamp

Nov 22, 2009

I need a copy of Windows on my Unibody MBP within the next few days. I'm eligible for a "student" copy which I've registered to download for..., but am not sure if the student copy will be of any help to me.

Here are my questions.

1. The "student" copy is termed an "upgrade" and comes by way of download. There isn't time for me to get the physical disc. Will I be able to install this "upgrade" on a clean Windows partition via Boot Camp?

2. Can the "upgrade" version be used as a clean install of Windows 7?

3. If I can install a clean version of Windows 7 this way, does it need to be via Snow Leopard?

4. Should I download the 32bit or 64bit version of Windows 7?

I think that's all. I'm basically just wondering WHAT the hell the download actually is (a burnable .iso file?), and whether I can use that download via bootcamp to install!

HP Envy 17r OS/Software :: 3D DriveGuard Not Working After Windows 8.1 Upgrade

Oct 29, 2013

I have an HP ENVY 17r laptop. So I installed WIndows 8.1 the other day and everytime I startup my laptop I get this error:
 
AccelerometerSt.Exe - System Error

The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
 
I then went and uninstalled the 3D Driveguard but then encountered another error:

I also tried to install the driver for the 3D DriveGuard but when I did so I ran into yet another error:

HP Envy M6 1104TX Networking :: No Bluetooth After Upgrade To Windows 8.1

Nov 19, 2013

My system is HP Envy m6 1104tx. It came with Windows 8 (64-bit) preinstalled and everything was fine until I chose to upgrade to Windows 8.1.
 
After checking with CompMgmt.msc I found that I had RaLink 3290 802.11 Wi-Fi adapter. Just below Network adapters I have 'Other Devices' and under it 'Bluetooth Controller' with a yellow exclamation mark on it. I tried updating the drivers, but it says "Windows was unable to install bluetooth controller'  (could not find driver software for your device).
 
I updated almost all the possible device drivers, but this 'Bluetooth Controller' still shows a yellow exclamation on it.
 
Also in CompMgmt.msc I dont find 'Bluetooth' or 'Bluetooth Module' but instead there is a 'Bluetooth Profiles Devices' and inside that 'Bluetooth Profile Interface Driver'. I tried updating it but the result was again as mentioned above.
 
So, how do I troubleshoot this? How do I get Bluetooth work on my Envy m6?
 
And yes I ran HP Support Assistance, but it says everything's fine. And in reality it isn't, Bluetooth not working.

HP Envy 17 2090eo Display :: Cannot Download Tridef 3D Software

Oct 20, 2011

I recently bought a HP envy 17 2090eo 3D. The pc came with pre-installed Tridef software on the harddrive. I choose to switch one of the HDD to a SSD drive for the OS to gain faster loading time.
 
Now I cant seem to find a download link for the Triforce software. I only found a trial which is now done. i also found some software on the Triforce site, which checked to see if I had a HP envy, but It told me that I did not have a HP envy system (probably because of the HDD change).
 
Is there anything I can do to get the Triforce software again?
