A clean install of Windows 7 - do not accept keys of the laptop

I had an older laptop and the hard drive had a mechanical failure.

I bought and installed a new hard drive and clean installed Windows 7 as downloaded from the Microsoft Web site. The computer is old enough that the manufacturer offers more support for recovery. I installed Windows and I used the key from the sticker on the laptop, and it seemed to accept it.

However after that I'm getting now pop up windows saying the key is not valid, and I (now) 19 days left to resolve the situation.

I can't afford to buy a new Windows key - what am I supposed to do?

The only available ISO images * for the general public * to Windows 7 directly from Microsoft would need to enter your product key to make sure that you download the correct edition.

I would try to change your product key via the given method, just to be sure and have someone else read the product key for you when you enter.

  • HP MIni 210-2145 DX: clean install of Windows 7, now I can't find the wireless drivers that work.

    I have a HP mini 210-2145 DX.  I recently had to do a clean install of Windows Ultimate edition.  Now, I can get a wireless connection because I can't find the right drivers on the HP site.  I tried 12 + drivers that I downloaded.  They all seem to be for 32 bits, and it's 64-bit.

    Can someone please help me find the right wireless drivers to install?  Thank you.

    Try this different file and see if it works automatically and installs the driver.

    File name: sp57965.exe

    There was also support for the hardware ID you have posted.

    I have no problem downloading the file, or by using 7 - zip to extract the exe file downloaded to a folder that you can browse from the network controller to install the drivers.

    Unfortunately, I can't help you with the problem if the new file does not work.

  • How to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional of a DVD on the ProBook s 4530?

    So I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed on my laptop and I want to get rid of it completely and to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit from a DVD.
    I don't want to use windows anytime upgrade somehow! Because I have a few serious bugs with my current installation and a clean install, I can be sure to get rid of them

    I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how exactly to do this and if all my data will be deleted. If so, will it download all drivers HP and the software again by myself? :/

    Bugs are not serious but they affect several programs and it is impossible to use my laptop, I was doing.
    And no, I have no recovery option, I don't have any dvd with my laptop, or something like that and personally I didn't do all the backups. Which was a mistake that I won't repeat.
    In addition, because of my college, I get a free copy of win 7 professional so why not use it?
    I have already burned on a DVD, now I just need to detail how a facility own n_n
    So after I installed win 7 Professional I just copy and replace Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE instead of download the drivers?
    BTW, I'll accept your next answer as the snap

    You will use the copied Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE for is the source of the drivers when you then. Do not replace the folder in the new installation of Windows with the folder that you copied from the initial installation of Windows. It would not be a good idea.

    Once you have done the copy of the file and have it practice you can simply put the installation DVD into the DVD drive and boot from it. There will be a point where asks you if you want to save your previous installation. Say no to it.

    At this stage you can always do a defined recovery disk. I recommend that you do this. This is the copy of the operating system and drivers you purcased your PC with. If you do not want is not a problem like UO can always buy it at HP over the next years.

  • Do a clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1; advice on the new partition formats.

    Hi, I'm going to do my clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1 today.

    Need advice on the size for my new partition (s).

    Currently defined as the partitions:

    Total: free:

    OS (c                          99.7G          11.9G

    Data (D G 111, 14.5 G)

    HP_Recovery (E 12.0 G 1.97 G)

    I am running:

    Laptop HP Pavilion DV9700 Entertainment

    32 Vista Home Premium, SP1

    Basically I want a suitable partition for the new Windows OS 8.1 (more room for restore points).

    And the rest of the data area, I guess, as if I had originally.

    Does anyone have any other ideas, because I start from scratch.

    Hi davisj-oaktree.

    To remove the Vista partition, I included the following two links http://bit.ly/1dWZLLn, and http://cnet.co/1dWZQii. Please check the information on each of these websites.

    Good luck!

  • After a clean install of Windows 7, I can't connect to the wireless network and more problems...

    I recently did a clean install of genuine copy of Windows 7 Home Premium to clear unwanted programs all on my computer. Because the product key are disabled unexpectedly.

    The installation works fine, but after the installation. I can't connect to a wireless network, because there is no network adapter installed on the computer.

    Also, I can't set my screen resolution of 1366 x 768. Before any new install, the screen resolution sets to 1366 x 768 as native and recommended screen resolution. Now, I'm stuck at the screen resolution 1024 x 768. I need to change the graphics card so my laptop screen can support 1366 x 768? If necessary, please give me instructions on how to do this.

    Thank you.

    Before I did the reinstall - I had this option when I right click on the task bar to activate the battery icon desktop mode.

    If someone please tell me what a piece of software that I should download to re - activate?

    Thank you!

    There is no Quickset software for this particular laptop - so I went through every download on http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/alienware-15/drivers and I finally installed "Alienware on Application of on-screen display" - after the restart it was back.

    However, it is not really intuitive.

    Try this instead and explain your situation to a live person.

    1 / click on the Start button.

    2 / in the Search box type: slui.exe 4 and press enter.

    3 / in the find window available for activation phone number, select the nearest location where you lie in the location box. You can click the arrow to the right of the location box to expand your choice of venues.

    4 / once you have selected your location, click Next.

    5 / If the user account control box, click continue or, if you are not the administrator, type in the username and password for permission to continue.

    6 / the window Activate Windows now will appear indicating the phone number you are dealing with a series of installation identification numbers.

    7 / now compose the activation number is displayed on the screen. The phone number is free of charge (telephone), unless otherwise stated.

    8 / you understand that, initially, the line of Activation is Automatic, so you will be asked to enter the numbers displayed on your screen using your telephone keypad.

    9 / once the numbers entered via the keypad of your phone, the automated service will issue you with another set of numbers that you Type in the dialog box that is displayed on your computer screen.

    10 / now you must follow the instructions issued by the automated service to activate your copy.

    11 / if, after going through this process, the activation service informs you that the product cannot be activated and then DO NOT slam the phone down in rage. Rather STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an Activation of the device, in other words, someone real who will help you to activate your copy of Windows Vista.

    12 / I am aware that these steps can be a pain, but nine times out of ten, Activation is automatic and can be accomplished quite easily on the internet. This is the reason why the service is automated. It is true that sometimes the automatism cannot stop, and when this happens, you are put through to someone who can help you.

    Relax and breathe.

    FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

    You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.
