Hello, I recently purchased a HP Pavillion G6-2306sa and within a couple of days, I quickly downgraded to 7, the OS I know and love but I've been having driver problems and my 2 USB 3.0 ports aren't working. I've been onto HP's website to download drivers but some of them have errors. My USB ports aren't hardware related because they worked fine whilst I had 8.
Due to these issues, I want to upgrade to 8 again. Stupidly, before downgrading to 7, I didn't make a note of my product key (it's built into the motherboard, not on a sticker), nor did I create any form of recovery media.
I thought that the Windows 8 Upgrade Adviser might help but it wanted a key. So I went into the HP Recovery Center where the only operating system I could choose to refresh or reset was 7 (which just told me to insert a Windows 7 CD).
So, is there anyway of me upgrading back to 8?
Thanks in advance
