jamie2009 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I down loaded it from a link from aThai Visa member ?

slipperylobster Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 windows 10 still buggy.. many are scrambling for drivers, etc. Also there are issues with VPN's and lord knows what else will pop up. I would suggest reading this link, as it is probably driver related. http://wind8apps.com/hdmi-output-problems-windows-10/ good luck....waiting for more bugs to show up and get resolved before I give up my "working perfectly" windows 7.

tso310 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 No problems for me but make sure you download the latest drivers for all your attached hardware has been the cause of a number of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 As mentioned, try taking a look at the HP Support Website and see if they have published Video Drivers specific to your Pavilion version and Windows 10. If not, try installing the 8.1 Video Drivers. One issue I've found is that Microsoft can only redistribute code they are provided under agreement. Sometimes Drivers require "bundled application suites" to fully function, and it's best if you get those direct from the PC manufacturer or company that produces the module. So far with 10 I've had issues with Audio, Bluetooth, Card Readers, Chipset, and the soft enable/disable for Bluetooth/WiFi. Audio required Dolby Drivers and bundled application code Bluetooth required a 'stack' to interact with my other toys Chipset and Cardreader I really don't know why Microsoft couldn't identity. I did a Google search. Why can't Microsoft to a google search? (rhetorical question) AC3 drivers I always need to independently find and load, but doesn't everybody? My ACER also has a keyboard monitor for the Fn function keys that do popup Enable/Disable, and let the MultiMedia keys work so I needed to make sure that was in. Since my ACER is four years old there are no Windows 10 specific drivers, so I had to use the Window 8.1 versions to make sure the 'bundled software' portions were installed, then let (as if I had a choice) Windows 10 Update replace the drivers with their preferred versions. So my laptop now has most of the functionality that it originally came with under Windows 7 (minus an Microsoft DVD Player or Media Center -- that I don't use as I'm a GOM and Kodi guy). Anyway, that's the way I did it ...your experience may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie2009 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Do HP say that your particular model supports Windows 10?I assume it would do as it was preloaded with Windows 8.1, the HDMI thing wasn't the only issue, a few other programmes wouldn't run/load, reinstalled 8.1 every thing back to normal.

DogNo1 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I have upgraded five machines and have had no problems with drivers. My only problems has been with Win 7 & 8.1 backups not being compatible. Win 10 is great! Win Key + X is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you upgrade to Win 10 or do a clean install? I had driver problems when I just installed it, they were solved by upgrading. I think it will pull in the existing drivers if it sees them.

slipperylobster Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Microsoft has contiuously strived to close numerous security issues with their products. We have seen thousands of "updates and fixes". Whenever they "upgrade" to a new version of windows...what you are actually getting is the same damn thing with a few bells and whistles...and a complilation of all their bloated security fixes, and services. These security fixes and "updates" actually make some software obsolete....and I am not referring to everyday "Office" or "browser" or "game" software..... I am referring to privacy...and "hacking" software. Software that some of us found useful, for our own purposes, but which now cannot be used because of security flaws in windows...and their damn security fixes. Like a bunch of Lemmings...we chase each other off the Bill Gates cliff, and lose more and more privacy to Microsoft. It would come to no surprise if they have been bought off by "Agencies" looking for ways to track the usage of the Internet. Two large choices (Apple..whom I despise for their lockdown of their hardware)...and Linux (a bit of a curve..but once you get the hang, it is like taking ten snooping monkeys off your back) In closing....windows 7 is the best, and most versatile windows still available. There is absolutely no gain in Windows 10....it is only a compilated, bloaded, lead tourist ship that has been patched for 20 years or more...and repackaged. The patches have made old drivers obsolete..so we are like rats trying to grab onto the side of the ship..and scramble back on....only for the captain and crew to put us in little cages. Windows 8 seems now to be a "gimmick" ..to shove windows 10 down our throats. Google reviews on windows 8 8....it was basically a failure....same as vista.

Loptr Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 All versions of Windoze have had more bugs than spring time in Vermont, going back 30 years... W10 is no exception... The most stable desktop flavor was XP... I should know, I've been a MCSE, MCSD and MCA since the certifications were created... You want stability, wipe your Windoze partitions and install any flavor of Unix or Linux... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm happy with Win 10.Four PCs running since the first tech preview and I have not seen a single BSOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
