I have 2019 tax software that need win 10.

Good to see your Tutorial - Dual Boot Windows 10 with Windows 7

Will this work for me for win 7 & win 10 as dual mode to work with this software?

What are the options to have win 10 env along with win 7 on my HP DV6?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your guidance.

Thanks for weighing in.

Hello @MDRI,

It would depend if your HP DV6 model has Windows 10 drivers available for it or not.

If not, then I wouldn't recommend to install or upgrade to Windows 10 since it may not run or run properly without these drivers.

Then what is the workaround? Shall I use an external USB to boot for win 10?

How to I check whether my HP DV6 model has Windows 10 drivers available for it or not?

Your specs list a Windows 10 laptop. Could you use this software on it instead?

This computer is with my son. He took to college. Not able to use this one?

Thanks for your guidance.

The Sticker at the back shows

Are there any command to run for you to get more info?

Thanks again.

Thanks. Do you mean this laptop will not work for win 10 ?

What are the alternate ?

You weighed in here with Win 10 install experience on HP Pavilion DV6.

How did you get win 10 drivers for your install ?

Thanks for guidance
