Problems faced after changing operating system

The HP ProBook 5310m comes with a preloaded Home Basic version of Windows® 7. The hardware equipped in the ProBook 5310m is the latest one. So the problem you may face after uninstalling Windows® 7 is that you need to install the latest set of drivers along with your new operating system as the in-built drivers of any previous operating system might not work with the hardware of ProBook 5310m. The problem doesn’t ends here. Even if you install latest drivers compatible with your ProBook 5310m hardware, it is not necessary that they will be compatible with your operating system. In such a case, driver conflicts may arise.

Things to do before making changes to ProBook 5310m

Before you uninstall Windows® 7, there are few things to do. Take a back up of your data in some external hard drive or CD/DVD. Create recovery disks of your Windows® 7 operating system in advance just in case your new operating system is unable to support all the ProBook 5310m hardware. By doing this you can always revert to Windows® 7.

How to uninstall Windows® 7?

Uninstalling an operating system is quite different from uninstalling any other program. You don’t have any uninstall tab to click on it. The only way is to install another operating system while Windows® 7 are already loaded. When you do so, the installation program of your new operating system will ask you for two options:

• Remove Windows® 7 and continue installation of your new operating system
• Install new operating system in another drive

By choosing option 1, you get rid of your previous operating system.
