Everyone knows to always skip a product generation in the information age!

Same for any phone product too lol. Usually the upgrade simply isn't worth the money investment until the second time around. Windows 8 wasn't a tragedy like Vista though. It was just not worth the upgrade from 7.

Actually, Windows 9 is rumoured to be free.

8 is worth it from 7 just for the better Task Manager let alone anything else.

Pm me if you need assistance btw. I'll help when I get spare time to set you up. It could just be HP laptops that won't allow you to enter the bios through "normal" means. I know Dell computers/laptops enforce this, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Thanks for wanting to help me out though.

Can you tell me the full model/make of your laptop?

HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment is an example.

Some forum posts say to try 4.3.12 instead of the latest release.

Btw Prai you'll need a Windows XP disc / iso and a key to do this.
