Hi @vehbi,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I understand from your posts that you are having an issue with your HP Pavilion g6-1220sd Notebook and recovering to Windows 7. You will need to use the Recovery Disks you created when the Notebook was new.

HP Recovery Manager can be accessed from the Start Menu, or by tapping F11 key as soon as you power on the laptop.
Recovery Manager is used to reinstall back to factory. This link shows you how.

Let me know how it goes.

Click the Thumbs up below is a great way to say thanks!  

Thanks.

Hi @vehbi,

You could try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting toolto fix any updates that have not come through for Windows.  

This is a download that will run a check on your system and usually repair it.

Let me know how it goes.

Don't forget the Thumbs up just to say thanks !

Thanks.

Regarding Windows Update appearing to NOT work in Windows 7 ...

I continue to support a bunch of Win7 PCs, some of which were rolled back from Win10 because the owners disliked Win10 so much.

But, I have noticed that recently, Windows Update has been performing really slowly on ALL these machines.

The symptoms are that it searches for HOURS -- and does not appear to make any progress!

OR .. it finds stuff, but then goes into downloading for HOURS ... and does not appear to make any progress!

It's as if MS is forcing Windows Update on older PCs to behave badly to pressure us ALL into upgrading to Win10.  Now, they wouldn't do that, would they!!

Anyway,  check for a Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads\ folder.  This is where Windows Updates stores the updates it downloads and its working files.  IF it exists, Windows Update is working -- even though you see no progress.  Over time, the folder will grow until all the Updates have been downloaded.  Then, it will shrink as the Updates get applied.  When done, Windows should remove it. If it does not, you can remove the contents of that folder, but do not remove the folder itself.

And yes ... updates are taking hours (or days!) when they used to take only a few minutes.

So basically, there is nothing wrong with your PC.  This is MS making our lives miserable because they are trying to force all of us into upgrading to Win10 -- even if we don't want it!
