• Sales to RETAIL Windows 7 with key OEM activate after replacing the motherboard in a laptop?

  Hello

  The motherboard of my HP laptop is dead and I replaced it.

  I want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium on it, and I deleted the recovery partition (I know, I shouldn't, but it's done and there's no going back)

  Can I borrow a friend (RETAIL) Windows 7 Home Premium disc and activate Windows 7 with my OEM key that is printed on the COA label in the battery bay? I've never used the key again, Windows has already been activated when I bought the laptop, and it's the first time I reinstall. I downloaded all the drivers on the HP support site and saved on a USB key with a view of the reinstall.

  However, I don't see an option to download Windows 7 OEM.

  The motherboard has been replaced by official website HP tech support, I guess it is the same model that came with the laptop?

  Yes, you can use this DVD Windows 7 Home Premium retail because it was Home Premium you had before.  If you have 64-bit Windows 7 before, then you want the 64 bit DVD.  If you have 32 bit Windows 7 before, then you want the 32 bit DVD.  If you have 64-bit Windows 7 before, then you can use the 32-bit DVD if you have no choice and you may never notice the difference.

  When you get to step installation product key, it can be easier to choose the activate later option.

  When it's over, then activate via the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, as applicable], page system.  Falling down and it should then give you instructions to contact for activation of the phone.  If there is no problem with that, you can also get to the activation of the phone by typing slui 4 [not only slui but slui 4] in your Start menu search and then following that area through to get the phone number for your region.

  When you call, you will get an automatic response with the choice to make.  You can hang without make any choices at all and you will possibly connected to a human operator.

  When you talk to them, don't forget to explain that the motherboard has failed and has been replaced by the same type of motherboard as something akin to a motherboard upgrade would be ineligible for activation.

• Hall 20: I can't do a system restore to overcome the refusal of the system to accept the password.

  I did a restore to factory on the Pavilion 20. Pressing me F11 has troubleshooting screen and I chose the system restore. All right

  I set up the UserName Admin and the password carefully (but don't think to do a password recovery disk).  I installed a different AntiVirus Norton application, a default value.  So I uninstalled Norton.  It required a reboot to complete uninstallation.

  This is where my problems started.

  Upon restart, the computer will not accept the password!  There is no mistake here.  It was carefully designed and entered in the creation of duing twice.  I even considered perhaps that I soon take my finger on the SHIFT key (twice) then tried many variations of SHIFT or no change for the capitals and even the next character in the password.  I restarted 50 times trying to get just one time and then I would like to choose a new password for connection.
  
  For the next, I thought I could just do a restore of the system from zero and re - configure again.  But now there is no option for me to use the system recovery.  This option is missing!  I spent many hours on searches of google for similar problems.  It's just not there.  I tried to use F10 and F11 to enter the system recovery.  I get to the menu troubleshooting and it has 3 options: Refresh uoir PC, reset your PC options and advanced.
  Clicking on advanced options gives me the system restore (a restore point (doesn't) usung) System Image recovery, startup repair, command prompt and UEFI firmware settings.
  
  I'm positn gthis in the hope that I can do a system recovery to the command prompt.  Is this possible?  If this is not the case, how can I do a system restore when the OPtion is not avaiiable?

  My question is: a complete system recovery was done, why it is no longer possible to

  Hello Newton51

  It will display the number of full model of the computer.

  I don't know what happened on your system but when you do the reset of the system, don't go not advanced.

  You should be able to click on reset your PC. That will erase the C: partition and reinstall Windows.

  

  When its finished, and you get to the part where it asks you to create a password for the user, LEAVE BLANK.

  Restart to make sure you can connect without using a password.

  IF you succeed at this stage, create your HP Recovery Media via the HP Support Assistant.

  If you enter an impasse once again, recovery media will wipe the drive and reinstall everything, including the recovery partition.

  NOTE: HP will allow you to record only one copy of the recovery media, so not to interrupt the process when you start.

  Now remove Norton and restart.

  Install this that never new you want security.

  When you're done, go to your user profile and carefully create your word password but do not close yet.

  Create the key to reset password on a USB key.

  Now restart and test your password.

  You have a USB reset if it doesn't.

  ----------------------------------------------------------

  If you are not able, or do not succeed to reset the PC, you have two options. Use the MS media creation tool to create recovery media (from another computer).

  Then, reinstall Windows 8.1 and download your HP drivers and install them.

  Or

  Order directly the appropriate recovery of the HP Support media.

  Contact HP worldwide | HP® official site

  Choose the country you are. Choose Help, then to the House.
  Enter the full product number and follow the prompts to contact Support.

  Chat with an agent will ensure that you get the appropriate recovery media.

  Hope that helps.

• Key board does not work correctly when you type. Can not get the system restore to work properly, either

  Tried to run the system restore, but it will not restore.

  Hey AnnEdelstein,

  Because you can't get the system restore to work, perform a clean boot on your Windows XP system. The guide to that is here. Which follow, and then try again to Outlook. If it works to the minimum, then boot in the boot, analyse the whole system with your Antivirus and other security you have.
  Also make sure you have the drivers for the keyboard. Search for the manufacturing of the keyboard, and they should have the drivers on their support site. I hope this has been helpful!

  Check your system restore settings:

  5. If system restore is enabled, the column status of a player will show surveillance.
  6. If not, you can delete ""disable the system restore on all drives ' and then click on OK to activate "

  Is both as soon as you try to restore to the most recent available? If so, unless you have specific reasons to keep the previous restore points, clean the rest, so that you have the most recent restore point on the left.

  To do this:

  1. run Disk Cleanup

  2. click on more Options

  3. under system restore, click cleaning of

• Windows will not start after replacing the motherboard

  To begin, I must say that I am pretty clueless when it comes to computer skills.

  To summarize, I sent my CPU to a repair shop when my computer has stopped working. I removed my hard drive before starting the repairs because it contains confidential data.  They have narrowed the cause to a faulty motherboard and replaced by a new dissimilar.
  At the store, the guy had a vista 64 bit recovery disc so I have it home and tried to fix it. He said it will be a breeze and relatively bug free. As part of the Startup Repair, I tried to drive the Startup Repair, and tests were all successful except one. An error of diagnosis readings

  "Unspecified system configuration changes may have caused the problem.

  Repair action: repair and checking the integrity of system files

  Result: failed. Error code 0 x 490

  time taken = 720023 ms

  Everything I've done has led to a brief blue screen to the Windows loading screen and then it restarts itself.

  I also tried to restore to the previous two points, but it has also led to the square - a brief blue screen after the loading screen and restarts on its own windows. I'm not ready to reinstall vista and I can't afford to do it too, because I don't have enough disk space to perform another installation. Nor am I willing to reformat one of my two disks.

  If you need additional information on the specifications of the material that must be provided, ask me.

  IM at my end intelligence now, and I really hope to solve this problem.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but you have to completely reinstall the operating system after replacing the motherboard with a different motherboard.

  "Startup Repair" is exactly that: a start NOT a repair system repairs

  What has happened, it is the operating system on your hard disk contains the drivers for the old motherboard and does not and you can't change drivers in doing what you do.

  The only way to solve this problem is to reinstall Vista.

  You wipe the hard drive and restart and make sure that the repair shop gave you the disc to install the new drivers of motherboard after you reinstall vista or download on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard.

  And here a question for you to consider, too.

  If you bought a copy of Vista retail yourself, you can use the method above to a new installation and then install the new disk motherboard drivers.

  But, if your computer is a trademark of purchased manufacturer, HP, Toshiba, etc., you can not change the motherboard that the license of Vista OEM is stuck at motherboard the origin of the manufacturer that it has been installed on and now you canceled your Vista license.

  See you soon.

• HP ENVY 17-3290NR: wrong information after replacing the motherboard

  Hello
  I have a problem after replacing my motherboard because the old stop working
  I had a new HP spare parts for my HP ENVY 17-3290NR after installation I realized that in hp say assistance:
  HP pavilion dm3 instead of hp envy, series and product number say 123456789
  so I can't use my drive recovery or the app by default because I've read that I must retatoo the motherboard, but hp do not provide me with dmifit or something similar, then what can do? I call the tech support of hp and they just told me to go back to that motherboard despite the part is correct, he's simply wrong information
  
  so, how can I change the information on the bios?
  
  

  I retattooed my motherboard using dmifit and now everything works fine

• Getting blue screen error after changing the registry system, how can I do a system restore

  Vista system was a repair to start and got stuck on 3/3

  I can't start windows or even in safe mode

  I do not have a backup of drive to back up either

  I tried to rename it in the registry, now I get the Blue error message on what ever I did in the registry

  When a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) the system failure occurs, for most users, there not enough time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

  If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Select Start, do a right-click on computer select Properties, advanced, system settings startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

  If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

• System restore after the recovery running disk

  Hello

  Is there a way to restore my system to previous state after you run recovery disk?

  I forgot to backup my files and apparently lost my data after the recovery running disc. All suggestions will be appreciated. I'm trying to restore my system, but it is not restoration, its shows me only today's date.

  Best regards

  Hello Jazz

  Please slow down. Your ad is quite confusing. You can the prior words includes on two completely different ways.

  (1) previous state as factory settings. If you use recovery media is removed from the entire HARD disk and all data will be lost. There is no way to recover them. To the review no data more.
  (2) previous state by using System Restore tool. It will roll back OS time earlier, but all data will be there. Sorry, but if you have ever used recovery media, it's too late for this option.
