ds-7108ni-e1/v/w/1t

I have two Laview LV-N9308-W that's been sitting in its box for a few years and wanted to know if anyone had a simple way to convert it to Hikvision DS-7108NI-E1/V/W/1T? I reviewed the forum and saw one person stated they were able to, but could not understand what they did to accomplish it...
