8.1 Windows restore laptop comes with windows 8

I have the TouchSmart from HP Envy 15-J003cl provided with windows 8.  I have installed all updates including windows 8.1.  Process has been without incident, but slow.  Many updates of HP and Ms.  I created a flash back/restore, also a lengthy drive.

Anyway, my question.  Is it possible to create a recovery media that includes my updates?  It would be a problem if I have to go through the same process of update again.  The probability that I needed to do a complete restore is perhaps small but I still want to know what is possible.

Any help is appreciated.  Thank you

Hello:

I can only answer to your first question.

Use only the 512 MB drive boot the PC to access the system image you created on a portable hard drive or DVDs.

Should not exceed 32 GB flash drive would be to create a recovery disk with partition recovery on it (but the recovery partition will be copied will be for W8, not 8.1).

  • New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. How do I creat more than I can duel boot

    New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. They are system, OS (C drive), recovery and HP tools > how do I create a new partition so that I can duel boot withour causing the entire disk pass the dynamic that would get me no where?

    If you change something, it may invalidate your warranty. If you need to return your laptop to HP, they will just wipe the drive and start over, no questions asked.

    You must remove the HP tools or the recovery partition. I think that removing the partition on an HP tools automatically goes to sleep you out of the recovery partition.

    If you delete the recovery partition, you must make sure that you have done the set HP recovery disk and it is on quality discs and safely set aside.

    If you are planning on dual booting with different versions of Windows, make sure that Windows utility block each other. For example, don't let Windows defrag loose on the other OS partition.

  • Reinstalling windows 7 on a laptop comes with pre-installed windows

    I bought my Dell XPS two or three years, and it came with a preinstalled version of Windows 7 64-bit. I would now like to format and perform a new installation of the same version of Windows.

    I already have a 64-bit Windows 7 installation disc (tested on an old machine server and that market), I wrote down the product ID (found in the computer-> properties-> Windows activation), which looks like xxxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxx, and also, using a few different 3rd party programs Magic Jelly Bean, ProduKey, Belarc), I found my product key, which looks like xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.

    These two will be enough to activate my Windows after I have format my computer? Can I first of all turn off somewhere before formatting to release the license?

    I received my DVD of a link provided by a moderator on this forum (there was a link to msft.digitalrivercontent.net).

    I already have a backup system full (using the backup and restore of windows tool) on an external drive in case something goes wrong and am currently backing up my personal data as well as the basic driver.

    I find the COA sticker on the underside of my laptop, so I hope that I now have the correct product key.

    Thank you very much for the help!

  • Laptop comes with Windows 7 installed - but no software disc to use later

    I just bought a HP laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed on it.  He came with a disc of Windows 7 - just installed on the computer.

    I'm not an expert in the terminology of this now, so bear with me!   In the past when I went to computer technology.  Sometimes, they cleaned my hard drive and reinstalled windows from scratch software.  I think it was to clean etc.

    I contacted HP and that they sent me a few disks system recovery, but that's all.  No disk Windows 7 program.

    I know that I have the license under the mobile number, but from what I've seen online there are no Windows software, you can simply download and then use your own license number with her.

    So, how can I get the full program to use (from scratch rather than "recovery")?

    I hope you know what I mean...

    Thank you

    Hello

    The recovery discs you sent by HP include the installation of your Windows 7 operating system and all the software original that came with your laptop.  So, for example if you were to replace the hard drive at some point in the future, these discs will reinstall the OS + all of your software on the new drive.

  • Acer laptop comes with Vista and upgraded to Windows 7 now does not

    My daughter has an Acer laptop and her boyfriend spoke to him in switching to Windows 7, but we are not sure if it was legitimate. He worked for a year or so, but now she cannot access the start menu, you cannot start in safe mode and may have a virus. She has no backup discs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Well, if she worked for a year, then it is probably quite legitimate. Whatever this is not activated within 30 days is usually made in an unusable state, or limited. The most likely problem is a virus. She is able to run programs? Some useful malware removal tools are:

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
    Malwarebytes
    SUPERAntiSpyware
    Spybot Search and Destroy
    Microsoft safety scanner

    And it's not the Windows 7 installation disc that used her boyfriend? If you cannot use these tools or the computer is too slow and does not respond then you can use a Live CD. What you do is start you on a CD or a flash drive in a separate operating system in order to perform analyses of virus on the hard drive. You will need to use another computer with a blank CD burner and imgburn program. Write these two files .iso with imgburn.

    BitDefender Rescue CD
    Kaspersky Rescue Disk

    Turn on the computer. Insert the CD of bitdefender inside her computer. Turn off and turn on and watch directly downstairs or upstairs for command to enter the Boot Manager (usually F12) or BIOS Setup (usually F2). Is there is a Boot Manager button and then you must press the key once in a relationship at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select this option to boot from CD/DVD.

    Is there is only one button for BIOS, then you will need to manually rearrange the order of boot devices so that the CD/DVD drive is at the top which makes the first boot device.

    When the operating system loads up, make sure that you connected to the internet and update the latest virus definitions. You can then run the scan on the hard drive. After that all viruses are removed, then do you the same thing with the Kaspersky CD. It's just to make sure that all viruses are removed.

    I hope that my explanation was not too difficult to follow.

  • New laptop comes with Windows 10, want to install Windows 7 in place but freezes everything in

    Just got an Acer Aspire ES 15, which came with Windows already installed 10.

    I do not like the windows 10, would be nice instead of Windows 7.

    I tried to boot from my CD with Windows 7, but once I did the "loading files" bar and I'm on the 'starting Windows' screen, four circles colors that generally revolve around all loading, just freeze and the installation does not go further?

    Any help would be appreciated. I tried to boot from a USB, but when I hit F12 I not give me the option to boot from it!

    Thanks guys, but I think I have actually solved!

    For someone who has similar problems, do pass the boot sequence in the BIOS of UEF1 inheritance. Freeze DVD ROM? When you come to format, we'll tell you that Windows is unable to format one of your readers because they are GPT partition style.

    To convert the GPT on the MBR, simply delete all partitions and create a new one. My Windows 7 is currently 17% in installation.

    For a long time I didn't do anything this techy on a computer, impressed!

  • Your brand new laptop comes with a "certified HDD repair?

    The hard drive of my laptop HP G72-B63NR just crashed. I bought new in January 2011, but has not bought any expansion of the warranty, so I'm totally ready to get a new hard drive and restore the system myself. However, to my surprise, when I remove the hard drive, I discovered that it is a "certified repair HDD" Seagate!

    I googled and found a post of someone saying that their HP computers at work are like that too. Does anyone else have the same experience?

    I bought the laptop brand new, so I don't know that the hard disk provided with the laptop because I have not changed my hard drive. As I said, I'm ready to get a new drive myself, but it really leaves a sour taste.

    Thank you very much for the information. According to our database, your system's hard drive is replaced in July 2011 in an HP service center.

  • Satellite L505 - it come with disc of Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit?

    I had a computer Satellite L505 with * preinstalled * version Windows 7 64-bit and a 32-bit product recovery disc. I didn't create a backup of a 64-bit version and reinstalled the system since the provided 32-bit recovery disc erase my HD. However, I would like to reinstall the verision of 64-bit Windows 7. I know I can order a backup media on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/ but it says not version (64-bit or 32-bit) wich are mailed directly to me.

    If I check the description of the model on the Toshiba page, it says that it comes with the 64-bit version and includes the 32-bit recovery disc. This description still leaves me a question what backup media I'd get Toshiba. I have to be sure that I get the 64-bit WIndows 7 until I have order a.

    I'd appreciate a confimation. Thank you!

    Hey Buddy,

    I think everything is ok and there is no open question. The description on the Toshiba site says it all: the laptop comes with the 64-bit Windows 7 version, which means that this version is preinstalled on your computer. Additional, you get a version 32-bit on a recovery disc and that s all!

    So you didn't burn the 64-bit recovery disc, which means you must order a new one from Toshiba. I guess you will get versions then 32-bit and 64-bit.

  • HP laptop purchased with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7 - laptop damaged

    Hello

    I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.

    Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    PAL

    Hello

    You cannot transfer the license of Vista.

    If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.

    Read this information and you will understand what I mean:

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    See you soon.

  • Laptop HP 15-R119TU: version 8.1 of Windows which was this original system comes with?

    So I know that it was Windows 8.1 x 64... But exactly which variation my model comes with?

    House? Only one language? "N" ? .... Cannot be Pro.

    Is there any way to determine from the embedded in my BIOS product key?

    Many sites say it's 'Windows 8.1 with Bing. But there are also 'Windows 8.1 with Bing, one language'... etc.

    How can go do a new install of Win 8.1 who to him scoped from the OEM key in my BIOS. I have the model numbers, series and lot etc. on the back of my laptop. If those who can help.

    It's probably a question for the experts of HP.

    PS: I erased my entire hard drive. So there is nothing more. New installation.

    Hello:

    The page of product for your model below specifications indicate that it comes with Windows 8.1 with Bing (64-bit).

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-notebook-PC-series/7234951/model/7553315/document/c04489978/

    I don't think you can use the download ISO W8.1 from Microsoft, because it won't work with the product key OEM of W8.1 in the BIOS.

    You need to either use the recovery W8.1 media you did when you got the laptop, or an OEM of W8.1 installation disc.

    You laptop has no Pro of W8.1 verson.

  • How to make DVD for Windows 7 which should have come with my new laptop please

    This is my first post here so please bear with me. I just bought a new laptop Lenovo Essentials B570 that comes with Windows 7 pre-installed. Previously, I used to buy Dell laptops which tend to come with the OS reinstallation DVD that check to see if they are installed on the hardware, it was bought for, but would allow us to install the OS on a new drive hard if the original one crashed. Now, Lenovo seems very complicated to allow the buyer to re - use install operating system - they should keep the same drive hard - but what happens is the disk hard breaks down and you want to install the operating system and all the drivers? The Dell DVD allows me to do exactly the same thing. Can I create a similar drive to install the OS on a new HDD as and when I want / need it please? I created two sets of DVD using the OKR - one software together using the 'system currently on the disc' and another series for 'reset to factory settings' - but what I have read on these forums these OKR discs would not work if I put a completely new hard drive. So, at least, if I can get hold of the correct version of the Windows DVD - as I paid for the license, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

    as you notice, we have already discussed this issue and the answer is if you want to keep functional okr, don't new volumes.

    beside that, you can use 3rd software to create a new volume windows cause can only create 4 volumes (which you already have 4 volumes - mbr, c, d, hidden-)

    It is your responsibility if you prefer re - partition the drive.
    (Yes, okr will be useless)

    If your drive dies hard, and if you have warranty still valid, no worries. replacement will be free.

    I have not personally tested for use okr with new empty hard disk drives, but I know it won't work. one is to clone hard drives.

    However, if you still want windows dvd, you can download and burn legally. (you may need to call microsoft to activate the windows)

  • My computer did not come with a Windows XP restore disk

    My computer did not come with a restore Windows XP disc and I don't know how to get one, because my computer keeps restarting itself and that goes, "your computer must was closed incorrectly, or because of a power failure" and he gives me 3 options of safe mode and then gives me the opportunity to go to windows normally... but all the options I chose... It keeps just restarting on me... My computer did not come with a restore disc and Idk anyone who owns one... then where would I go to get one?

    Some computers have a built-in hard disk recovery partition.  Search for information on this subject on the BIOS screen that appears the first thing when the computer starts.  By pressing Ctrl + F11, accesses a recovery on some Dells partition.

    Otherwise, contact the computer manufacturer and ask if they can provide a restore disc.
