Can I reinstall different OS on a hrdrv w/new Fund?

Hello world


(This forum has really been a blessing for people like me who know how to use a PC, but are seriously tech.challenged when the repair time daily bugs & trouble!)
In short, MS is intentionally we require to use their new W/8 by no longer support W/earlier versions. It's a low-ball real technique & since they have monopolized the entire market, there is not much I can do about it. (Except pick the brain of your members really warned!)
Enough flattery, I hope! It's my current situation, it is long enough & I'll shorten as much as possible.
I started playing w/PCs when W-95 was released at least two decades ago. I have updated every two years when a new OS is out & PC became faster & cheaper. I stuck w/HP all these years because they offered an immediate online technical support at the time where you had to pay a monthly fee tough to try to communicate w/a tech Middle East, which has been formed & paid to guide you in your own PC setting by following his advice. It was a terrible service, but he opened the door to technical support phone exponentially greater today.
2 weeks ago my HP desktop a610n/Vista family secondary premium 32-bit Office has stopped booting the system & the shop found my h ardrive has had a catastrophic failure and could not save something from him, including the drivers and the O.System.
HP gave me the run around, as I explained above to get a new copy of my OEM OS (Vista SP2, OS / since I have the authentication code sticker # & recorded this w/HP PC & MS as well as my provider ISP (Cox.net))
According to both HP & MS, Vista OS recovery disks are no longer available, and my only choice is to buy a new OS (W7 and W8) to install in my old HP a610n lower than my current HP P6320y AMD Phenom quad-core GHz/8 G ram/2 TB hrdrv. updated the main Board to a rank of military-he's MSI, ovr.clock options/W7 OS system that I prefer much more than their most recent OS W8, which seems to be a PC for children 12 yrs.old & under!
Here are my questions: (please do not hesitate to inform me of everything that I am not aware, which is considerable!)
1. I have a recovery CD 6 disc factory complete the value of HP I ordered when I first bought my HP laptop z6000 w / windows XP PRE-INSTALLED just about 8 years ago. She's worked flawlessly since day 1 to present. Could I download this set of recovery disks and use authentication sticker code windows again?
2. I have the crazy a shadow/complete the system image of my most recent HP p6320y w/W7 Home premium, 64-bit OS on extr. Str. devc. It contains all the usual full backup including my entire library of documents-photos-songs, can I use this backup to shadow of system to be installed in the old HP desktop using the same authentication sticker number?
3. any other ideas are welcome!

    I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost? If yes how can I do this? Some people reported issues license keys and it cannot be registered once in a PC.

    Thank you

    It is the major limitation of the OEM software that it can be installed on a PC. The COA label will confirm whether the license is OEM. A number of elements can be replaced in a PC in the way of repair, but only if exactly the same model of Council can this be exchanged.

    Even if you transfer the drive to the new PC would not authenticate because of the change of equipment, and it would be unlikely to to re-authenticate online.

    If the label is not OEM and you have a retail package, so it can be transferred.

  • Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

    Original title: HD crashed.

    I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

  • Can't reinstall XP service pack 3 on the new hard drive, will not cross of EULA

    Computer VOstro 220 (Dell) under the age of 18 months. Internal HD died and was replaced two weeks ago with a HD internal 320, the speed of 7200 Western Digital. (Micro Center, a computer store large installed the HD that I bought at the store)

    I used the OEM "reinstall Windows XP service Pack 3" DVD.  With F12 I put the computer to boot from the DVD.

    DVD boots, I chose the option to install the OS

    Fisrt I see the message that the program checks the material. No error message

    Then I see the screen with the words "Windows Setup". Five minutes later, Microsoft EULA (end-user contract) is displayed.  IT does not scroll, I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to get at the end of the EULA was waiting for some kind of "type option"I agree". But there is nothing.

    Nothing more happens. No additional configuration.

    What is the problem? What should I do to get the Windows XP installation to continue?

    Why not install the operating system?

    How can I reinstall vista on my laptop without a disc. I have an acer aspire 4520 and INF files are missing, umbrella I don't have a disk to reinstall. without these files, I can't update any driver...

    Hello

    You can reinstall vista without a drive on an Acer if you never received a disc when you bought

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  • How can I reinstall Vista (free) after the failure of my hard drive?

    My hard drive needs a total deletion.  After a reformat can I reinstalled my Vista Ultimate without having to buy a new copy?  (I have the same question about Office 2007, streets and trips 2009).

    Thank you.

    Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

    These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $25-50.

    If your office and streets & trips are preinstalled, you would contact the computer mftr. for the installation of replacement media. Otherwise reinstall them using a CD that you have.

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.
