  Reinstalling windows on a laptop computer in the format

  I'm reinstalling windows on the laptop of a friend that she sold to a person.  It has formatted and deleted all partitions (which I think included his info hidden windows), but could not find his CD to reinstall windows (she believes that she did not have a when she got the device, and I am inclined to think that the 'cd' was an image on a hidden partition).

  I have mine, but the product key on the bottom of the laptop does not work with my cd (he says it's an invalid code).  What I have to use old CDs to install windows or can I use another?  I just noticed that my cd is Windows XP Pro, and its key is Windows XP Home Edition.  Who count?  And if so, is it possible to get a new installation cd?

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Or the other

  (1) (preferably) order a set of manufacturer's recovery disc and reinstall the system using htem

  or

  (2) borrow a disc retail Windows of the same edition of a friend (the manufacturer NOT another recovery disc!) and use it for installation - you will then have to track down the appropriate/required drivers and install them. - and use the key from the COA of the sticker on the laptop to turn it on.

• Can I use my Vista 32 bit key for activate Vista 64-bit?

  I want to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OS to 64-bit. My computer came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit pre-installed but I want to run a 64-bit OS so I can enjoy the benefits as the increase in the capacity of RAM. If I can get a copy of a disk of Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I want to know if I can use my OEM key for activate Vista 64-bit, if I had to do a full clean install?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  Yes, you can use the same key, but make sure that the installation is performed only once and a 32-bit parallel installation with the same key on other computer should not exist.
  You must perform a clean installation only and upgrade/downgrade cross-architecture (32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa) is not supported.

• Windows 7 Pack LIP (Language Interface) can be installed on Windows 7 Starter Edition?

  Linguistic LIP Windows 7 for Hindi said "can be installed on all editions of Windows 7' http://bit.ly/2EFPcg - even on the Starter Edition?

  Yes, it will work on Windows 7 Starter:

  As was the case in Vista, Windows 7 will continue allowing a wide range of people around the world use Windows 7 in their own language by using the LIP language Packs. The lips are based on MUI technology and provide a localization of the user interface most commonly used by Windows users. The lips do not require a license and can be downloaded for free to be installed on any edition of Windows 7: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, professional, enterprise or ultimate.

  Because the entire user interface is not translated, lips require at least one parent language to be present on the machine to be installed. After that the LIP is installed and selected as the UI language, the parts of the UI that are not translated into the LIP language are displayed in the parent language. Some LIP languages allow more than one language as parent language. For example, the Catalan LIP can be installed if the Spanish language pack or the French language pack is already installed on the system. The parent language requirements are specified on the download page of each LIP.

  For more information, see available language packs Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com

• Can I downgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows XP Professional

  QUESTIONS: 1) can I demote a machine Win7 Starter purchased through package of retail full license, never installed, XP Pro OS?  Assume that both are 32-bit.  I was thinking of buying one of these netbooks cheap in Walmart stores that are Windows 7 upgrade option to Windows 8 (which I do not wish to use), and experiment.  If Win7 is proving to be as disastrous as I wait, I want to install a new copy of the new detail of full XP Pro including Service Pack 3 (which has never been installed on any computer), to downgrade from Windows 7. I've never used in triplicate.
  The machine is Acer Aspire One with Windows 7 Starter edition, on sale at Walmart for only $228.  They have other editions of Windows, I could buy instead, if the Starter Edition is not eligible for a downgrade.
  2) do you anticipate problems of license?  Do not talk about compatibility, as that varies depending on the machine.  It's just that the installation with MS products is always also annoying complicated and always associated with a licensing problem.  I can't guess at what these problems are, they are never what I expect.  Where the question.

  Backstory: I am wary of XP Professional updating to Windows 7, due to the many people experience incompatibilities.  I ran the Win7 Upgrade Advisor, and he has not yet detected what third-party software was running on my machine in his analysis, other than common programs of MS and stuff from the internet.  So I have ZERO faith it will be compatible with my XP software current and material, so 32-bit (which I use now), or 64-bit (which one of my machines can take in charge, but instead, 32-bit XP Prof OS is installed and running).

  It cost me about $100K of my time to switch to XP, in 2005; I just went through two own XP installed on two of my other machines.  Recovery was not possible.  Cost me three months of my life, these facilities.  Wouldn't do it again.  It is unnecessarily complex.

  So I have to check the effectiveness of Win7.  And if she is not enough justify using, as I hope - I have a lot of detail that new (well, once again) never used XP Professional OS bought in a store, that I can use to downgrade.  ("not OEM, not upgrade or academic, etc. so the full XP license is valid for each packet.)  I understand very well that support ends in April 2014 and don't care if it stops.  What I care about is running my business that threatens to Win7, because it changes the interface and eliminates a bunch of features that have been very productive in XP Pro.

  Of course, my impressions have not been tested on a live installation.  ERGO this post.  For me, it's a $100,000 decision, because it is the cost of my time if I deploy Win7.  Sorry for ranting, but I need to explain the reasons for downgrading in context.  Thank you for your time!

  I guess I do not understand you. If you have a version of Xp retail packaging, you can install it on any computer you want. Nothing MS or anyone else can say about it.

  As others have noted you might encounter a driver for some of your hardware problem is not not compatible wth Xp. The only way to know for sure, or I should say the best way, is to install Xp and discover.

  If it was me I would make sure that the computer has a restore disk or a partition to reinstall Win 7 if Xp didn't work. If none of those who were present I would clone the drive hard while Win 7 was still about this. Better safe than sorry.

  Finally, I would make sure that I got a usb Ethernet card so that you could make sure you have the ability to connect when the net card driver was not installed with Xp...

  Hello

  Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

  Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

  You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

  The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

  Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

  There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:
