• Windows 7 product key, but no disc

  had to refomat laptop computer after a virus, have lost everything. Reinstalled windows xp recovery disc. There is a 7 product key of windows on the underside of the laptop.

  Is it possible to reinstall without buying another copy of Windows 7?

  Hi idlavelle,

  The product key on the underside belongs to the preinstalled version of Windows 7 and can not be used with a normal installation disc for Windows 7.

  In addition if your laptop comes with Windows 7 preinstalled you must create a recovery disc yourself with pre-installed recovery disc creator. All this is mentioned in the user manual, but it seems you didn t he read why? :(

  Now it s too late and if you want the original off back of settings box you will need to order a recovery disc here:

  I have an old computer thatran windows vista but my dad installed windows xp edition Home premium and now the media card does not work do I have to buy a new drive, even if I have a product key?

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  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.

  [Moved from Community Participation]

  If the product key provided with your computer (on a sticker, for example), then you will need to contact the company who made the computer to ask for a replacement.

  If you have purchased the product in a store key (for example www.microsoftstore.com or Wal-Mart, etc) then you will need to contact the store.

  Sorry, but I can't understand your question.

  You have a Windows XP installation CD?

  You have your product key? If so, what type of Windows installation has been this - OEM (for example, if it is preinstalled on the computer) or retail?

  There is nothing on the CD that binds to a particular product key, but the CD that you use must match the CD in regard to OEM edition compared to the retail and upgrade vs. full,.

  If you buy a CD without a product key, it is not authentic; It is hacked, and you would look in trouble.

  And in regards to the used CDs, note that a copy retail may be moved from one computer to another, but an OEM one cannot.
