If the motherboard is similar or identical to that which failed, then you should be able to simply fix the hard drive and use the existing installation of Windows. Worst case phone activation may be required.

How to activate Windows 8 by phone

Press the Windows key + x then click Run, then type: slui.exe 4
(Another method: press Windows + r and then type: slui.exe 4)

Then press the ENTER"" key.

Select your "country" in the list.

Choose the option "activate phone".

Stay on the phone * do not select/press any option * and wait for a person to help you.

  • Hard drive Windows 7 to transfer to the new motherboard without reinstalling

    Hey all -

    So, my goal is to transfer my old hard drive to a new motherboard without reinstalling my OS. I heard that it is possible, but difficult.

    If I find it's too intimidating, anyone know how I can do to reinstall my windows 7 if I don't have an installation disc? I got it through the .edu email and I don't know that I have the original installation file, is it possible for me to re - download without paying again?

    Install everything on the new motherboard, and then turn it on.  It should be like Windows Vista, it will take some time to sort itself, go online to get drivers etc (so ensure you have the new drivers for motherboard on hand like LAN, graphics etc. where it cannot find them online), but you shouldn't have to reinstall.  You will have to reactivate.

  • Old computer is dead, HARD drive still alive. Can I install windows 7 on your new computer without formatting the old HARD drive?

    My old desktop computer recently died of a motherboard failure.  As I understand it, I should be able to install windows 7 from my old computer to the new, but only if I delete the old installation.

    Does this mean that I have to format the old HARD drive?  Because the old computer HARD drive seems to be alive, I would retrieve the data on a new machine first, before I have to format and I need to install windows on the new computer to get the data from the old HARD drive.

    No, it is taken on trust that the old installation is no longer active, there is no mechanism to remove the old license in order to make a valid new. Remove the Windows directory (or rename) makes the old system inoperative.

    You find that the automatic authentication fails on new construction and need to call the licensing Center to check that you have only one installation. Apart from the OEM rules if a license has been activated too often, and recently, it fails in a 1 time.

  • This PC can't run windows 10

    This PC can't run windows 10
    There is no supported network devices

    I have the same problem, I can't believe only two of us have the same problem

    I want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7

    perhaps I misunderstood the message that I can get on the internet and the use of a wireless adapter belkin to connect to the internet is there a way around this problem

    could someone from microsoft or the microsoft community help

    Robert

    Please, take a breath and describe your problem in detail and in order.

    I see that you have a computer running Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit?  Which edition?) at the moment and you want TO upgrade to Windows 10.  For example, so that you can properly work your mind around it - a few questions...

    Are you ready to upgrade?

    How are your backups?  Made sure your consistent data (just the things important to you) backups are working correctly and can be restored from?

    What your support installation and key product / series number backups - all that sorted and easily accessible?

    Have you checked, while visiting with the manufacturer of your system and the manufacturers of the software, you use most on your computer, all what you have/use/want to use are supported by said manufacturer with 10 windows and discovered that, instead, you need to do to continue the use of a stringer of such things after the upgrade?

    Some device drivers upgraded, you need to download?

    A software patch?

    Uninstall the software before upgrading to Windows 10 and install it once the upgrade is complete?

    You have refined a method of execution to a COMPLETE PICTURE of the right SYSTEM backup before you start the upgrade? After all the upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7/8.1 could be likened to move coverage while stand you on it - so it is quite complex and has its risks.  Backup offline during the upgrade (and external) media image full system is a VERY good backup plan in case something goes wrong or - you don't like it.

    You might even want to clean this system some current, make sure * it * is as healthy as it could be before attempting to upgrade.  An efficient and up-to-date system is more likely to result in a smoother experience for an upgrade is as broad as this...  You could look through this previous conversation where I suggested someone clean up their system before the upgrade:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-update/scheduling-the-upgrade-to-Windows-10-not-working/13e88e85-2919-4e20-847E-94073e48090c

    Some links that would be different from those in the above suggested cleanup link - if you have WIndows 7 and not Windows 8.1 (and want to do the same cleanup)...

    Disk Cleanup: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/818-disk-cleanup-open-use.html

    SFC/scannow: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

    Defragment: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11733-disk-defragmenter-open-use.html

    When you think you're ready...

    Use the page web media creation tool to kick off your upgrade.

    The big take away there are: the device drivers, software updates and BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!

    You could even make a full image backup of your current system and CLEAN install Windows 10 using your product key Windows 7/8.1 (from - likely - your product key on your machine sticker) and start completely cleaned with 10 Windows - install everything you want or need and restore your personal/etc of your latest files backups of files/folders (not the picture of the system.)
        
    Then, if things do not work on (pilot devices, software, etc.), you can use the system image backup to restore State "pre-fact-anything that it" and continue on.  ;-)

  • 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?

    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.

    You can "downgrade" to win 7 BUT dependent on the Lim, it may void your warranty and there is perhaps no drivers for your computer with windows 7.

    Putting aside the modern splash screen (which you can ignore at startup) win 7 and win 8 are very similar.  If you don't like the modern user interface, you don't need to use it.

  • Drive system corrupt, how can I get windows 7 on a new drive?

    My drive hard system is corrupt and I want to replace it with a new hard drive.

    I can't back up my files or create the disk image windows won't let me because of the corruption.

    The computer randomly restarts and various other problems are happening, and I tried destructive restore but gave up after waiting 15 hours it ends!

    I have a product key but no installation dvd and I am running windows 7 Home premium. Most of the messages that you have a dvd installtion or a backup of your system, but I can't find a post that deals with this specific problem

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
