I just downgraded back to windows 7... Took me alot of effort but it was worth it. Unless you have a touchscreen tablet windows 8 is a disaster for anyone trying to be productive. I had various issues with running auto cad efficiently. And my workload effectiveness and efficiency at home...

Thank you!!!

Hi everyone, I made a post yesterday about downgrading from windows 8 to 7 and got some fantastic feedback. Last night I downgraded and obviously did a clean install. Now I have a issue with microsoft Office 2010 or 2013. I need to dowbload the software, I have my cd keys for either but I...

Thank you everyone for your support, I did the recovery install and it worked without any issues. I'm back on windows 7! Thanks again. Great support community.

Ok thanks again!!

I think I remember that, it should be set to boot from dvd but if it isn't I'll check the settings. Also thanks for the burning software, I did not have any specific one I think I was using windows media player... Or whatever is the default pop up when you enter a blank dvd (kind of a newb)...

Ok thank you for your feedback, if I remember I got a new key with my windows 8 purchase. I'm not sure if it will work if I reboot the laptop and press f11 according to the Hp website. I'm not sure what to do here.... You have been great help thank you.

Hi I just signed up for a different issue but had to add that my windows 8 also has issues with my galaxy s3 in respect to connecting to it via Bluetooth.

Hi theog thanks for your reply, I never made a recovery disk because there is a recovery partition on the laptop it's about 14gb. My question more or less is will I be able to downgrade to windows 7? I read several articles that indicated that this is not possible without having downgrading...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and signed up in hopes that someone experienced could answer my question. I have a Hp Dv6-2164ca laptop that had a windows 7 pre installed when it was purchased. I upgraded it to windows 8 for 39.99 but after using it for several months I really can't stand it and...
