Possible to get older versions?
Hi folks,
Bit of a weird ask, but hopefully I'm in the right place.
A friend of mine had their hard drive fail and brought the laptop to me for repair. It's some kind of special starwars-themed HP. The drive was completely gone, no possibility for recovery. I dropped in a new drive and re-loaded windows from media I had on hand(I do PC repair as a side business), confirmed all the drivers were there, then gave the laptop back. Simple job.
Apparently, this particular machine had come with a bunch of special themes, sounds, apps, etc from HP. The friend was able to re-download all that, but sometime between when they bought the laptop and when I fixed it, Microsoft went and broke compatibility with the star wars software.
Now my friend would be perfectly happy to run an older version of windows and have their cool themes than be on the latest and greatest, so I'm at least willing to look into it. From what we've been able to discern, we need somewhere around Windows 10 version 1511 for the specialized apps and themes to work.
Is it possible to find install media for this?
To be clear: I AM NOT asking for "warz" or any cracks or anything illegal. I have a fully legitimate windows product key ready and waiting for the install. I just need to find the right install version to make this thing sing again.
Any help would be appreciated.
The unit is a "Star Wars Special Edition Notebook - 15-an050nr" made by HP.
Thanks!
