Hello
· Which type of installation do you have?
· Was this a new installation or a custom installation?
· Did you install it with Vista Home Basic or home premium?
Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for Windows Vista.

Need to reinstall win 8.1 after a disk crash
After an accident, I need tot reinstall win 8.1. There is no disc supplied with my XPS 8500.
If I want to download the software preinstalled on Dell support website, it seems that there is nothing happening.
On my Dell there is also a kind of key OEM product so I can not use any other disk install...
What can I do? Thanks for a response.
You must use the generic key if the system came with Windows 8.0 and install with Windows 8.1 due to the poor design of Microsoft. For a system that came with Windows 8.1 your BIOS SLP key is automatically entered with 8.1 Windows media.
The brackets must be bootable.

Manually copy on an external support everything you find important:
- Documents
- Photos
- Music
- Worksheets
- Databases
- Contacts
- PDF file
- Text documents
- Executables of installation you want to re - install
- Saved games of one kind or another
- Scripts, you wrote & use
- Internet favorites/bookmarks
- List of hardware devices so you can get the appropriate device drivers to install
- List of installed software to let you know that you will have to re - install
- List serial numbers and product keys, so you can keep things registered
- etc.
Can print a copy of a Belarc Advisor free report to help with a lot of this.

How to reinstall Windows 8.1 with Bing on my Tablet? I have the OEM key I need to reinstall with, but when I try to reinstall Windows 8.1 (standard) he says that the key is not to this version of Windows. I need to find Windows 8.1 with the Bing installation media?

Unfortunately your key will not work for 8.1 with Bing and is only available through oem (HP) - you will need to order recovery media from the link on your Product Page.

EliteBook 2570p: EliteBook 2570p reinstall Win 7 Pro OEM
Hi all.
I replaced the HARD drive on my Elitebook2570p for SSD and I need to reinstall Win 7 Pro OEM to enable using my travel sticker located under the battery.
I saw in aid of MS that we should reach to the local HP service center to do this, can cause seller issued series of Win does not allow with MS Genuine audit.
However, the service representative Local HP told me that they cannot ask for Win 7 Installer CD to professional laptops and I must ask HP support directly.
Could someone in HP give me a hint what to do in this case?
If I understand correctly, OEM Win key is locked down for my motherboard, and unless I replace, I can't reinstall and activate the OS without any problem.
Thank you.
I brought your question to the attention of a team within HP. They are likely to ask for information from you to get your information or product serial number. Please search for a private message from a contact HP identified. Also, remember not to publicly display personal information (serial numbers and information). -

I need to reinstall Windows Vista, but it's come with a disk when I bought my computer. How can I get a copy of it?
1. call the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The entire cost is low and the money is well spent.
The game allows you to restore your computer. Ask a manul on how to use the recovery discs.2. While the site of the computer manufacturer, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your computer, Partition Recovery and utilization of the partition to restore your computer to factory State.
3. see if you can find a friend who has a Microsoft Vista Installation DVD. Borrow it and reinstall Vista using your product key from the computer.
If you are lucky enough to a friend, here's the tutorial for pure install using the Installation of MS DVD:
