Hi Everyone!

I have an HP Notebook with following specs.

 

Model: 17-x062sa (Energy Star)

Microprocessor: Intel Core i5-6200U (2.3GHz, 3 MB Cache)

Memory: 8 GB DDR4

Video Graphics: AMD Radeon R7 M440

HDD: 1 TB (SSHD)

Display: 17.3"

Current Windows: Windows 10 (32-Bit)

 

Actually, I want to replace Windows 10 (32-bit), which is working perfectly, to Windows 7 (32-Bit) for a few solid reasons. I am in engineering work domain, and many softwares that I work on are years old. They are highly compamtible with Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 (32-bit). I already use them on an old laptop but that is getting very slow and out-dated. I want to run those old engineering softwares on this Notebook which is faster and easier to use.

 

The problem is that I cannot find drivers for Windows 7 (32-Bit) for this machine anywhere on the internet. Only compatible drivers I could find on HP website for this machine were for Windows 10. I am confused that if I install Windows 7 on this machine and, suppose, my Wireless antenna (WiFi) doesn't work then this downgrade is useless entirely. Similarly with other drivers if they are not automatically installed by Windows 7 (32-Bit). I will be stuck in the middle.

 

Could anyone please suggest why HP has never given the drivers for Windows 7 (or even Windows 8) on its website for this machine. Neither have I found the drivers for Windows 7 anywhere on any other website. What is the best solution for it?

After install my Wifi driver, the computer recognizes the device. But, the device doesnt work

 

When I open the devices administrator and check device status, appears below message:

 

Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52

 

Anybody know how to solve it?

I installed a Toshiba portable drive software and restarted my laptop, then it cannot run windows and cannot repair itself. I tried F11, but I cannot find recovery manager....I am pretty sure there is a Win 8 backup file on a hidden partition when I bought this Laptop, even I upgraded to win 10 later

 

when I run the laptop

It shows as : cannot repair your computer. "C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt"

When I tried to reset my computer it told me "there is no enough space on your system partition"

after I tried copy all register file from RegBack, I reset again, but it showed as"initial problem. nothing has been modified."

Help PLEASE! The past month been receiving random (one or maybe two per day) message "Thermal shutdown occurred". Your notebook has been put into hibernation shutdown to avoid overheating. The system is now operating normally.

Overheating may occur if the cooling vents are blocked etc.

System Temperature (900)

ENTER - Continue Startup

 

I've done some research. I am NOT a power user, nor play games on my notebook. Simple emails, fb, and Google searches. There is plenty of fresh cool air circulating with the fan blowing smoothly and no obstructions. It may occur when first powered up or in the middle of drafting an email. I don't get it, no dust around or strange noises from the laptop. Heard something about heat sinks possibly failing. Make sense to anyone? I know it's old, but I'm disabled and can't afford a new one. Do any harm just running it the way it is. Thank you so kindly. Ron

My HP Envy 15 touchscreen laptop won’t turn on or charge. The light won’t come on when it is charged. I’ve tried to hard reset my laptop by removing the battery and holding down on the power button for 30 seconds several times and even bought a new charger thinking it was the charger and it still won’t charge or turn on.

Rebuild the boot options and Recovery partition

Greetings to all in the community! We have an older Envy (~3 yrs old) that we rebuilt a few months ago by refreshing the Windows 10 OS from the ground up. Unfortunately, we mistakenly removed the "D:\" partition that seemed to be a recovery partition. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is re-installed and working just fine. However, now, every time we reboot the PC, the laptop pauses on restart and will not proceed unless we press the ENTER key. After pressing ENTER, all is well with Win10.

 

Does anyone have guidance for rebuilding the recovery partition (we've already created a recovery USB drive) and/or ensure that the boot sequence does not require any manual intervention?

 

Thank you in advance! :)

After using my laptop for a minimal amount of time just doing mindless browsing on the internet, the fan turns on and it is rather loud and annoying. I can almost hear it over any video or audio I play. The laptop is not hot but the fan is still so loud. This laptop is brand new and I purchased it less than a month ago. Would like to know if there is any way I can decrease the loud fan noise?
