    Windows 7 Pro Download and Install


    Good afternoon everyone,
    I have a Probook 6470b that has Win10 Pro. I want to download Win7 Pro from Softane.com. Has anyone ever heard of them? They are selling the OS for $39.99. Also, How can i download the OS and delete 10 Pro? Thank you in advance for any help I receive.

    From HP ProBook 6470b Notebook PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support the laptop came with win7 Pro.
    It may be possible that the recovery partition to do a Factory Restore is still on the HDD.
    Open Disk Management, expand the columns so we can read them and with the snipping toll take a snapshot of the whole window.
    Even if you don't have the recovery partition, you don't need to by a license if the laptop still has the COA sticker with the license. Look under the laptop and / or under the battery.

    There is a sticker on the bottom but it has Dell on it. I bought the computer as a refurb unit. It had 7 Pro on it but for some reason, It wouldn't start up. So i installed a Win 10Pro recover CD. Now i want Win 7 Pro because some of my software aren't running well with 10. Can I still do what you said? If so, Can you walk me through it?

    You need to download the Iso file and create an installer, then use the key on the sticker to activate W7.
