C70-B-11 satellite - re - INSTALL Win7 OS (no product key/CD provided)

Hello

I recently bought a Toshiba C70-B-111 that came with the system of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit pre-installed. For some reason (for example, there is that one big C: drive, the demo software I have really not the type to use etc.) I want to reinstall the operating system by myself.

Now I'm in the dilemma that I only got the Win8 upgrade DVD, and there is only a Windows 8 Pro sticker on the back of the unit. I can go get a Win7 Pro CD somewhere, but what product key required to install Windows and successfully complete activation (if necessary).

Thanks for any help

In case you want to install the new OS system (without the use of the Toshiba Recovery disk) you must use a Microsoft (or image file) installation disc and the license key belonging to this system.

The Toshiba key that you will find at the bottom of the device is useless, since it is an OEM key that belongs to the system of recovery and this key does not work in the context of other systems.

  • Satellite L300 - need to Win Vista product key

    I have a Satellite L300. OS recently broke down and recovery CD does not work.
    I got another CD of instalation windows vista but windows at the back of the laptop dispelled the label, and I can't read the code.

    I can provide the invoice product or information of the laptop required for security reasons.

    How can I return the product key?

    Thank you

    Product key placed in the lower corner of your laptop is useless for you. Why?
    This product key is for the original version of recovery that you have with your machine and cannot be used for activation if you install Windows by using the original Microsoft facilities.

  • Satellite C660-1R1 - recover Windows 7 product key

    Dear Toshiba support,

    My Toshiba Satellite C660-1R1 bought in 2011. By the end of 2013, the original HARD drive died and I replaced it with an SSD. That said, I can't start the recovery with the original Windows 7 installation partition, or I can retrieve the product key from the registry. In addition, the sticker of the product key on the back of the laptop is almost unreadable. I read only a few letters.

    Is it possible for the support of Toshiba recover my Windows 7 Home product key based on the serial number and other details? I can send the whole of the back of my laptop with two stickers to the evidence.

    Thanks for any help.

    You are lucky to have a product key sticker (COA).
    Some people have had success with the digitization of the AOC and using software to improve the image.

    Hello Sheroola,

    If your laptop did not come with recovery disks, then the PC manufacturer will install the image on a partition of your hard drive. Check the Web sites of manufacturers of PC help section to "restore PC back to factory conditions." This should show you how to restore your PC to the back. Make sure that you backup all the necessary files on a DVD before restoring as you will lose all these files and other applications that you have installed since you bought your laptop. You will also need to reinstall all the software that you have personally installed on your laptop, so I hope that you have the installation for those files.

    Alternatively, the PC manufacturer can provide you with some time with the recovery discs, but they charge for those.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Replacement drive hard need to re - install Win 8 no product key, no recovery disk

    Hard drive of my niece Envy HP dv7 is on it is the last step. I will soon replace it. Problem is that I can't find product key to win 8. I've read up and find that the key is embedded in the BIOS. My quest is: when I have reinstall Win 8 it automatically inserts the key from the BIOS? I also need to find a copy of win 8 64-bit to use, because it does not have the recovery disks. In the past, I found img copy of Win 7, 64 bit online and it worked fine. Is there an img to Win 8 64 bit? I think that the main problem is the product key. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    First, create a backup of your installation of Windows 8 on an external hard drive:

    Then, create a repair disk:

    -Shutdown your computer.

    -Uninstall the existing hard drive.

    -Install the new hard drive,

    Boot from the recovery media that you create.

    Make sure that your external hard drive is plugged, plugged in and turned on.

  • Satellite A350-110 + Win7 64 bit - problem keys FN

    Reinstalled Win 7 new Professor, installed all necessary drivers for graphics, sound, touchpad, etc., plus the last package of added value for my model and shortcuts (FN perform on keyboard + F1 - F12) does not work. But when I point the mouse to the top of my screen and I click the mouse buttons - they work.

    But it is irritating to minimize the game or movie to change the brightness of the screen, or when the batteries in my mouse bluetooth went - I can not turn on the touchpad with FN + F9 shortcut.
    I tried also (before the format) with the help of Flash cards and some other stuff that worked on Vista 64, but they do not work on Win 7 64.

    Any solution yet for this? Given the subjects of couple on this subject, but now they are gone, or I'm blind?
    I will be very happy if I could use those finally.

    I think your statement based only on the issue of FN key and that's why you're disappointed
    I can tell you that I have a two different laptops Toshiba and the FN keys work even after the new installation of Windows 7.
    The FN keys are controlled by the Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility and this tool is not the model of laptop. I have an old Satellite A series and I used the Flash published for Satellite L500 series card utility. I installed VAP (value added package) also series L500, then Flash card.
    Buttons work and there is no prob.

  • Satellite L650 - where to find the product key for Microsoft Office?

    Hello
    I just bought the Toshiba Satellite L650.

    I started using Word (Microsoft Office) but its tells me that I need a 25 character key, otherwise I can only use another 22 times.
    Where can I get this key since I have nothing in the box your laptop came or have I been fooled into thinking it is bundled with the computer when it is not in fact and they only gave me a trial version?

    See you soon

    Hey,.

    You're right partner, only a trial version of Microsoft Office is preinstalled. If you want the full version of Microsoft Office, you will need to buy it in a store of the computer.

    An alternative, you can use the free OpenOffice. It s also very good software with a lot of function but it s for free. ;)

  • Motherboard has failed on the computer running Windows XP Professional. Can I replace the motherboard and re - install Windows with my product key?

    My computer was assembled by myself has worked for many years, the operating system is win xp pro OEM.  The motherboard has failed and I'm replacing it with a newer version, that is no longer available. I can re - install win xp pro using any win xp pro not oem and using original key to activate? I understand the oem rules as it relates to a registered oem (Dell, Acer, etc) but my oem copy was bought at retail and as far as I know is not related to a named oem. In fact, I'd say I'm oem as I made the original equipment.

    There is disagreement on that. I've seen people claim that if you change the motherboard, you essentially create a new PC (which would mean you would need another license as an OEM license can be used on a PC and never transferred to another).

    And then there are people who say that it is the OEM who decides what constitutes a new PC. I tend to support this point of view, personally. But there is disagreement.
    BTW, if you bought the OEM CD has no impact on the license.
    After installation, you may need the Microsoft phone to activate (in other words, if the activation over the Internet does not work).
