will my laptop accept windows8

[NoDak]

i want to install windows8 in my HP dv7-3065dx laptop and use it wirelessly along with my HP photosmart all in one printer model C309g.  any issues I should be aware of or is it going to be a simple straight forward install?

Yes it would be compatible and work good. You may want to look out here to check compatibility of your devices:

Windows 8 will install on your PC but it has not been tested by HP.  HP is not releasing drivers for your PC and this may cause some limitations, especially regarding switchable graphics.

i was told I would have wireless problems with my printer & network?  is that true?

[wes_hpnotebook]

I haven't heard of any problems with wireless.  Microsoft drivers seem to work well enough.  Printer of course depends on whether your printer has drivers that are compatible.

As suggested here, it should work fine.

Hi,

There will be no problems.

The driver for your printer you may download from here.

Check also the Wireless/BT/WWAN & Radio controls guide which was published by ArtAppreciator here.

Before you will do anything please create a recovery discs set or save a recovery image on a USB flash drive:

Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive (Windows 7)

When the Windows 8 will be installed, then install as first the Intel chipser driver from here and reboot.

Next install the AMD graphic driver from here.
