Can I activate a clean Windows 7 install when I had originally a HP of Windows 7 installation?

I have a HP Pavilion Elite comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed.  I recently bought a 120 GB SSD and wanted to install the programs on the SSD and Windows 7 and use the old 1 TB of HARD drive for storage.  Rather than clone my old HARD drive I decided to try a clean install of Windows 7 on the SSD.  When I tried to do it via the recovery DVD I had done, I received an error message indicating that I could not do a Windows 7 recovery facility because the disc was smaller that the Windows drive has been installed originally on.  To work around this problem, I downloaded an ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit official and he has engraved on a DVD.  Then I used Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to find my original Windows 7 key and proceeded to do a clean install of Windows 7 on my SSD.  When it came time to enter my product key, my key is not accepted.  I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed on my SSD but I can't activate it and I am short on time.  I would be able to activate Windows 7 with key of my install original HP or I'm done here?  Is it possible that I can use the recovery of my original Windows 7 installation DVD to install it on my SSD and avoid this problem?  Thanks for any advice.

Have you tried to activate using the key on your COA sticker?

  • How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

    How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

    You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
    first push.

    How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
    motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
    BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
    the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
    for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
    There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
    your system documentation or check with your provider.

  • Can I use Dell original product key to activate a clean Windows installation after I have replace/upgrade motherboard, processor and other key components?

    I have a Dell computer, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed in the factory. There is a product code for windows on the sticker on the box. My problem is that the motherboard and CPU are released. I intend to replace and update the motherboard failed and cpu, ram, power supply, optical drive and eventually put in a larger hard drive. From what I read, I can not simply start the machine with the original hard drive, with windows already installed and activated. So if I wipe the hard drive (or put it in a new), can I clean install Windows 7 and then just use the product key on the sticker on the box to activate the new installation? Or what I need to buy a new copy of Windows 7?

    I've also read on other threads, that you can "transfer" a license of Windows 7 on a different machine only if it is a "commercial" version, not OEM. If the version of Windows that is preinstalled on a Dell computer would be "retail" or "OEM"? And to reactivate the software on a rebuilt/updated machine up-to-date with the new motherboard, etc. would constitute a 'transfer to a new machine' or reactivation just on a computer upgraded?

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • Can not activate wireless after Windows vista install driver problem?

    Hi all

    Don't know if this is the right place for the post, if not I apologize in advance.

    I have a Compaq Presario C700 (C730EM) on which the hard drive died on me, I have brought a new and installed Windows Vista disc premium edition (not a backup / recovery disc).

    Everything seems fine but I can't turn on the wireless, the C700 has a button at the top wireless rough (which has a red LED when not away) to the left side. Normally impose you it, and it lights up (turns blue LED) but nothing!

    I have commented on Wi-wired and update windows etc and have tired to find wireless driver I guess that I'm missing? You are not sure if it's wireless missing driver or a keyboard driver?

    After installing a few drivers I found where time no joy!

    Can anyone help?

    See you soon

    You are the very welcome.

    Is it possible to remove Windows 7 and reinstall Windows XP again? (I formatted the C drive before installing Windows 7) Now, I don't know how to remove Windows 7 and reinstall Windows xp.

    I thank very you much for your help in advance.

    I think that if you formatted the entire score, you need to call tech support to a recovery DVD, to the United States, we are charged $ 24.95... If you don't remove the hidden partition, you can start recovery at startup option.

  • How can I activate telnet in Windows XP Professional?

    I've seen several references to XP Professional with a built-in telnet server and the 'help and support' section seems to indicate that as well, but I darn if I can find detailed instructions on how the hell activate you it after 20 minutes of Googling to pages with forums and ask the same question, people usually being will have a link to the technet database. I tried to look for it, but kept getting instructions for Server 2003 who say to test with telnet in XP command line control.

    I want just a less cumbersome way to stop my main computer of the notebook on the cable network (in my room, the computer and I have a fake ethernet cable so I can access it from the bed I have wireless at home). I want to try telnet as it is less involved than remote desktop, and I can't do 'shutdown m \\slickswintel' at work (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking/how-do-i-use-the-shutdown-command-to-shut-down/645a45ee-d964-4f87-8c7e-98f446332c0e).

    I thought I'd try to telnet. If I can limit the 192.168.1.X subnet traffic security concerns shouldn't be a problem. Yes, I am well aware of the limitations and why Telnet has been replaced by SSH. It would be a problem if I was trying to participate via the internet, rather than an inTRAnet of small LAN home network with a router/switch device that manages the internet gateway.

    Could someone, give me a link to instructions for XP Professional? I don't even remember if I ever tried to set up telnet on Windows what it (server or workstation, even if it's a piece of cake to put in place under Linux (and SSH is simple too).

    My goal is to turn off the computer from across the room without getting up from the bed, so I can stick this laptop on the bedside table and to sleep with as little hassle as possible.
    Before suggesting the m \\slickswintel stop, read this:

They were on the same switch as well. The firewall on the router/switch stateless only works on inbound connections from external (internet) interface, and I'm sure that it is rather a feature of the NAT because it does seem that the vs TCP UDP and port number...

  • Can not activate the restore Windows Pro CD to reinstall

    I'm trying to fix a friends computer. It's an Enpower AMD Athlon 64 3200 + 2.01 GHZ, 1 GB RAM, Windows OEM Pro. The hard drive crashed, and they lost all their data. I replaced the HARD drive and am now in the process of re - install the restore CD of Win Pro comes with the computer. Unfortunately, the key ProductID (OCA) outside of the case has partially torn. How can I return this product key?

    I searched through these forums and found a key in the UNATTEND file. File TXT on the CD, but it won't accept it. I also tried suggestion of forums in order to preserve the OEM key and failed also, are there other options to get this key without having to purchase another license?

    I'm afraid you're out of luck.  If the torn label had been noticed before the HD crashed, the existing product key could have been found using a program like Belarc Advisor or the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder.  However, with the death of HD, it is too late for that now.
