  Microsoft cannot help you recover the passwords of the files and Microsoft who are lost or forgotten product features.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Reinstall Vista:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• No product key for Windows 7 Ultimate on laptop second hand. Windows 8 not compatible. What are the options?

  A friend of mine bought a computer with Windows 7 Ultimate laptop second hand on it and it has not been activated, and it is not a product key (even the old one is worn and unreadable). It was originally a XP system and it cannot be upgraded to Windows 8 because it is not compatible. Is it possible that he could buy a product key so that it is activated and genuine? I don't want him to enter in some affliction, and I feel partly responsible because I was the one who told him to do and was not with him to look over the first! I feel really bad, because it doesn't have a lot of money and I should have been there when it was sold. I have a Windows 7 professional full version box, but I really need for my own system. Are there any alternatives? Please give me some GOOD news because I feel really rotten over this. ) :

  Thank you

  BAT

  The only alternative would be to buy a license Windows 7 Ultimate full version or a version complete edition cheaper such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and make a custom installation:

  Full version-

  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

  Full version-

  Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

  Apart from that, the only other option would be to contact the computer manufacturer for a Windows XP Recovery disk. Which I doubt they still provide.

• How to copy CDs of recovery of Windows XP (legally) on SD card?

  I used to have a Windows XP since mid-February. And now I see why Dell sends customers an OEM (copy to recover from a BONE). I was on the web and an anitvirus program called Anitvirus.NET said that my computer was full of viruses. I thought that the antivirus itself was a virus (Yes, I had installed Microsoft Security Essentials and an active firewall). But it blocks everything opened and is pressuring me to buy the product. But I thought it was just as well crazy me in phishing. I currently using Ubuntu Netbook and want to return to XP. But the problem is, see, Dell, for me, expects you to buy a CD player, but there is means I'll buy a CD drive just for recovery. So what I did was exemplary right from the CD on an SD card (I have a SD card slot) and a folder or files rpet he is corrupt and I may soon be copy each file that it self and there is NOWAY I do THIS. i386 folder must be almost at least 75% of the entire CD. Please I do NOT do this for purposes of piracy. (I have used to have 7 Adobe products that run ONLY on the WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS. IT took me at least 7 days to download this)

  PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!

However, I want to buy a laptop computer in the future, and I have a question: How can I sell my copy of Real Win XP Professional, second hand? After selling it, I want to buy Windows 7 for a new laptop. How can I legally sale Win XP ?

  You have installed?  Which means that you went down and bought Windows XP all by himself in a retail establishment and it is a retail license, not a cheaper OEM license?

  I asked a tech savvy friends to help me buy. He brought me a real CD, a product with COA and a manual Win XP key (they came sealed) and reception. It cost me about $160 (actually 7800 Indian rupees). I still have the COA product key, hologrammed CD sticker.

  The CoA sticker wasn't on the hard plastic case?  Sounds like an OEM version - which once installed is "linked" to this computer/motherboard.

• Second hand windows 10 gave the error 0x0000c14. Formatted with win 7, now nothing works.

  Hello!

  So, I recently bought a second hand with 10 installed windows laptop.

  After a few days, he stopped working and got 00x0000c14 error at startup.

  I fully formatted using a disc of windows 7, and now I cant get it up and working properly.

  It starts well on the desktop, but I can't get the installed network driver and so unable to connect to the internet.

  In the windows.old folder, there are several drivers of all kinds. I can't install of these places. I tried and it doesn't seem to change anything.

  I tried to download the configuration files and transfer them via my phone, but it has the same result as the drivers already installed in the old file win.

  How can I get this laptop operational? Any direction is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to treat this as an opportunity to learn and not look at it as a negative circumstance, but if I can't get this to work laptop I'm in a bit of trouble, since I live in a country quite poor and cannot afford another PC.

  Thank you! :)

• Second hand windows from amazon/eBay.

  Original title: the SECOND HAND OF AMAZON/e-BAY WINDOWS.

  I'm buying a copy used Windows Vista DVD on Amazon or eBay. Can I install and activate as new copies of Windows that I myself bought, without any problem?

  Isn't that mean a form of license transfer?

  Only a licensed version of Windows Vista retail could be "transferred" to another owner.  Some of the eBay sales are not legitimate sales - people just out to make money for those who know less, these things, what they don't.  The software and the license they sell may even work for several years - until the "system".  At this point, you have a basis weight of the paper for a computer.

  Then... You just want to get Windows Vista media or do you need a license and media?

• PC with Windows Vista Business OEMAct COA of second hand

  Hello

  I just bought a PC that has a Microsoft COA license sticker attached to it for "Windows Vista Business OEMAct" of second hand. It came without a HARD drive, so I installed my own and want to make sure that the key on the PC is still valid? If I can get my hands on a Vista disk, probably, I can install windows with this key and everything will be fine?
  The question I have, is that I can then upgrade to Windows 8 for the $39,99 deal? I don't see why not?

  Hello

  You must use the key to see if it is still valid. There is no public list kept.

  Hadou no reason why it would not be valid as long as you can not transfer OEM licenses which they were installed on the original machine.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• How to check a second hand T43p.

  Hello

  I bought a second hand T43p at a friend's House.

  And how do I check if it is refurbished or repaired? What quality problems I'll pay attention to?

  The computer is aesthetically very clean. Only some wear on the keyboard. So, I was curious enough, as this model is released in 2005 and on the market until 2007. Then why not so there to clean the machine. The COA lable is always there. And no sign of refurbished label.

  Photos attached here.

  Thank you

  If it has the factory preload OS on it you can pitch it up and either:

  (1) press the ThinkVantage button when you see the splash screen of IBM and run PC Doctor of the Rescue and Recovery application. OR

  (2) let Windows boot, Run PC Doctor for Windows. AND

  Run a full series of tests and if it passes you should be in good shape.

  Don't worry renovated or not (probably not by the appearance of warranty page).

• Clock does not second hand.

  When I see the clock in the choice of gadget, there a 2ndhand. However, when I move the clock in my sidebar, the second hand disappears. I right click options but there is nothing.

  Why the clock shows a flea market at first, but not when I chose to use it? How can I get second hand work?

  Since my display tray has a clock works perfectly except NO second hand, why would I want a sidebar clock, with the exception of second hand? What a waste of time.

  By default, Windows Vista does not display the seconds hand, which can be a little awkward in the clock gadget. If you want to see it, click on the boxdisplay the second hand . Vista will then display and move the needle of the seconds in red and in real time:

  Click this little icon...
  

  Click on "view 2nd hand.

  

  End result... with 2nd hand

• EMachine bought second-hand with BIOS locked store

  Separated from this thread.

  I just want to be honest and totally from the outset: I am disabled, poor therefor and with very limited income. for example, the death of my last pc I kept the hard drive that was an original version of XP 3. I was so lucky (I HOPE) because I found at a local second hand store they had a whole collection of different components for EMachines model W653a S/No. GCJ87 C00 07034

  SNIDS: 82800679890 with Celeron dual-core inside and Vista already installed. Well 1 problem was obviously it has not been saved for me and I have been able to use it as a "guest." UNSATISFACTORY! In addition, simply not true, I felt the guilt of an intruder. my previous PC was a (EMachine) model: W4685 w/a Pentium4 2.60 GHz cpu.

  The disk that came bundle w / that has some additional software that were not only temporary features. Of course, he had his share of temp-ware as well, but point is when I tried an installation clean w/a drive of SPX "home" that I had previously bought so I was ready when I got the machine I wanted.

  so, okay Oh great and merciful Microsoft, this is my confession.

  Now, what I have to do to crush the Vista installed on this machine still running sweet ' cept I can' no. do everything I want to since the previous owner has left the password of the bios! I'll be able to scrape Vista and claim ownership of this ' China since I paid for it loyally AND freshly install instead a Win7 OS?

  Thank you, altogether!                                                  M_EagletonMize

  We are not able to help to circumvent passwords that we do not know which PC it is.

  A BIOS password is also often used by business to protect the property against the better flight just a Windows password can make.

  But you will not be able to reinstall Vista or Clean install another OS to boot with a BIOS password, nor can you start the XP SP3 CD to do an XP Repair Installation that is how to adjust a registered old XP install to start on new hardware.

  I guess you are using the guest account because you have no administrator rights because the Admin account is protected too? If this is not you could create a new account and assign administrator rights in user accounts.

  Maybe better if you can't find it via Google how remove it eMachine BIOS password must follow these same steps to clean you have to make it work better: Clean Up Factory Bloatware

  Vista is possible to smoothly because the improvements developed for Windows 7 have been incorporated into SP2.

  If I misunderstood the facts of the case, please specify if I can see if there is more help that can be given.  Rules of the forum banning however help to circumvent passwords.  Am I correct that you have a BIOS and Windows password for the Admin account?  If not the last there is more, we can do to help you short of media to reinstall the boot.
