HP OS/Software :: Downgrading Pavilion G6 2300st From Windows 8 To Windows 7 / No Drivers?
Jul 25, 2013
We have purchased an HP Pavilion G6 2300st to our parents with Windows 8 installed. Unfortunately, they are having diffuculties to use Windows 8. So I thought that we need to downgrade to the windows 7.
I tried to install Windows 7 last night and I wasn't be able to do so because of Legacy Support and UEFI etc.
After that, little search on the web and I think I will be able to install windows 7 now. However, when I was searching on the web I realized there are many people have the same problem includign drivers problems. Then I find out that G6 2300st does not have W7 drivers.
I found someone here downgrade the G6-2306el to W7 in link. [URL] ......
Now here is the question; Can I use the same drivers that stated in those posts?
locate working drivers for G6 2300st for the Win7 OS?

I want to downgrade to Windows 7. I have Windows 8.1 and I hate it. I have an HP Pavilion g7 2297nr. I purchased it refurbished from Ebay and it came to me with Windows 7. I upgraded it to Windows 8 and I'd like to know how could I downgrade to Windows 7 and also get the correct drivers.

I have just configured 4 HP 250 G2 notebooks. They came with windows 7 Pro installed and I've used the Recovery Discs that came with the machines to upgrade them to 8.1.The Manager I've been getting them ready for now tells me that the specialised software they want to run does not support 8.1 - the machines need to be windows 7....
Can I do this downgrade with just the PC and the recovery discs (these are 8.1 only)? Would it need Windows 7 Pro installation media (I have this)?

I am loading up Windows 7 on my new HP Envy 17 laptop. Naturally, we are missing all kinds of drivers.
However, I still need to find
-Ethernet Controller (tried a few here but didn't work)
-Network Controller (same here haven't found the right one yet)
-PCI Simple Simple Communications Controller
-Universal Serial Bus Controller (USB) Controller ( tried a few here too)
Then I have two unknown devices still ; probably the camera and the fingerprint scanner.
I understand that HP directly is not supporting this downgrade. I am not liking windows 8.1 so I want to go back to Windows 7. I have the base system installed and as I said I did find a few drivers but not all.

I read a subject about downgrading vista to XP here which is quite helpful and the bewlow link is the subject, but I think this sort of downgrade does not have a straightforward process to do it and get rid of all the frustration you will face, therefore; you always get a problem which is different from some one else.
DV2799ea - How to install XP and all drivers (Yes it is possible)
I have followed the above link and managed to almost install winXP but not completely yet, I have managed to to install the SATA drive from a USB floppy disk just to enable me to go ahead installing the XP, but during the xp installation process it also asks for the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver which I have it and have all the necessary drivers, and this is where I have been stacked because I don't know how to instal this driver, because obviously it's not possible to use flopy disk to load this driver as it's more than a few MBs, I put it on a USB flash drive and it did not detect it, I even copied it into a blank disk and inserted it into the CD ROM, but still does not pull it and detects nothing, so I don't really know how to load this drive and the rest of the drives, because it does not give me any other options apart from F3=QUITE ENTER=CONTINUE.

I just bought a U330 Touch that comes with Windows 8.1 preinstalled. I have several programs that are not compatible with Windows 8.1 so I want to downgrade to Windows 7. I spoke to a Microsoft representative who told be to check with the manufacturer before I downgrade to make sure that the computer is compatible.

I recently downgraded my HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e015dx Notebook from Windows 8 to Windows 7. Only Windows 8 drivers are listed under the support page, but they all seemed to install and work just fine. The only problem is that my right two USB 2.0 ports don't work after Windows loads up. There aren't any drivers under the support page and Windows Update can't find them, nor can several driver update programs - It's just listed as an unknown Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller under the Device Manager.

Recently purchased a HP Pavilion 15-n248sa. It came with windows8, which I've done a fresh install to windows 7 (formatting HDD etc).
Managed to get some of the drivers for this from the HP or intel site. But there seems to be no source of two other drivers that are still to be installed. The USB 2.0 drivers (no usb ports will work). And also the ethernet drivers.
I'm VERY disappointed with the support HP has provided towards this laptop for windows 7, even though it's clearly stated it is ready to run it. Genuinely shocked that all the driver support on the page for this laptop includes only 1/3 of the required drivers for this system!
I've seen the solution of looking up the motherboard within the laptop, and then looking up drivers for laptops using that model, but I'm not quite to sure of where to look that up.

I have recently downgraded the OS on my laptop to Windows 7 from 8, and I am having difficulty finding drivers for the following items:
PCI Device
SM Bus Controller
USB COntroller
USB Controller
I have searched the HP support section, but all that is offered are Windows 8 drivers. I have updated the BIOS to the most recent version, but still no work. I am sure there are drivers out there that work.

A friend / client of mine was unhappy with The Win 8 pre istalled and requested that Win 7 be loaded. I am battling to get drivers for the:
Bluetooth controller;
Network controller;
PCI Simple communications controller;
USB Controller;
and lastly it says unknown controller - (I know this one is a bit "dumb"..)
Or is there a complete package of drivers that I can download somewhere? (Win 7 64bit.)
