Bought a used pc with windows stickers...
I bought a computer from a company's bankruptcy and he had completely erased the hard drive. Product key stickers are still stuck on the side of the computer.
It was running Windows 7 Pro. No disk came with it.
How can I reinstall windows legally with the existing product key that came with the pc?
This version will qualify for the free upgrade to Windows 10?
Others that you are ordering of recovery from the manufacturing of PC media (assuming that the drive has been completely erased) your faster and easier option maybe to Chester a friend with a 'Retail' of Windows 7 Pro version ('Full' or 'Upgrade' DVD will both work). Use the product key on the sticker to activate.
==============================================================
Yes, if you manage to get Windows 7 Professional re-installed you qualify for a free upgrade to version 10 of Windows Pro.

I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another office.
I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another desktop computer. My son has paid and downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium on this computer (Asus), not knowing that I had the free update. ASUS sent me free upgrade disks. Can I use these on another desktop computer? Or I can download Windows on another desktop computer and transfer my registration to it, and then use the Asus drives on this computer?
Your question has nothing to do with the functionality of Windows Update (vs Windows upgrade), Jan.
That being said, Asus only can answer your specific question. Good luck!

I have a computer with windows 7 to run on it. I have 2 files of images on my current computer and bought a new computer with windows installed 10. Can I copy these files to a dvd and transfer them to the new computer with windows 10 installed. If so, how can I do it and ask what I should do?
Hello Kenneth
See my response to a similar q in the thread above...
You can use DVD or CD, but an external drive or a USB is so much faster and easier.
Best regards, Ric.

When you check the list of Windows features it is not inside?
To get there, press the windows key and type in "features " without the quotes and then click on "turn on or off windows features ". "" In the window that appears, you should games and next to it a button "+". Go ahead and click the button "+". You should see Chess titans here. If it is unchecked then go ahead and check it and click OK when you are finished. It should appear in the Games folder in the start menu and Explorer games now. You can or you have to may not restart. It should tell you if it is necessary, however.

Recently bought studio 15 laptop with windows 7 and I try to run need for speed pc underground game on her, but she does not appear and the message "speed.exe has stopped working" appears on the screen. can someone help us?
Hi Andy,.
I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible. Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7? I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently. If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem. Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.

I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 installed. Whenever I restart it, it has installed updates which can take up to an hour or freezes. You can ignore the automatic updates of Windows 7?
You can turn off the automatic updates, Yes, but doing so would leave your computer at risk. Simply put with him: after another reboot or two, you will be fully patched AND fix!

I have a psc 2210 all-in-one printer that I love. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and I can't make it work. The HP site said that I don't have to download the drivers because windows 7 has already installed, but the main thing is that I can't make it work. Anyone, please help. My printer works perfectly and I can't afford to buy another. (I have a 64 bit)
HP should contribute to this situation. I'm a loyal customer of Hp, but it's ridiculous that they do not create a driver to work with their printers. All computers are coming with Windows 7. HP please find a solution!
I could get my HP PSC 2210 all-in-one to print! I don't know exactly, because I've tried everything I could think of. My son is a computer on which it has upgraded to windows 7 (64-bit) several months ago - he was able to successfully print on my printer immediately. I just did an install complete (I bought the full version, not upgrade) to windows 7 (64 bit) - a couple of days and I'm finally to the point where I'm trying to connect printers. Here is what I tried... again, I tried several things, although I've been in that general area...
connect the printer to the computer
go to the CONTROL PANEL--> Device Manager
Click the arrow to the left of the IMAGING DEVICES (to be developed)
RT click on printer PSC 2200 (should be listed under imaging devices)
Select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall
Select / tick "remove the driver for the device.
the printer will disappear from the Device Manager (and peripheral Imaging also if it was the only selection)
Unplug the printer to computer
re - connect the printer to the computer
Device Manager automatically updated (takes a few minutes, the screen refresh let until the yolk! disappears).
Go to the control panel--> devices and printers
Select printer PSC 2200, select Customize your printer, then the printed test page
I hope that you will get a valid test page. If this is not the case, another option I tried was:
Through the above scenario. When you get to the step "select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall" Select UNINSTALL directly from this menu (be sure to select/check "remove software pilot")
Continue with the remaining steps above.
I also tried 'Update Driver' of one of the previous screens above... I would like to know if you have a bit of luck! I'm sorry that's not accurate. Yet once, I tried everything I could think of, and something finally worked! (I don't think I tried to 'Turn off the pilot') Good luck! .........
