Can satellite L300 - I buy Windows 7 from Microsoft

My Satellite L300 came with Vista Home Premium. I formatted the drive and installed Windows XP to allow me to run a software not compatible with Vista.
Now Windows asks me to activate the operating system.

Now, I want to buy Windows 7 from Microsoft.
I'll be able to install Windows 7? or will the Vista product key related to the rejection of the system, the installation?

Hello

The key of Vista does not work in Win 7
The product key that you will find at the bottom of the unit is the key OEM belonging on the recovery disk.

You must purchase the license of MS

  • Now that windows 8 is out and the store is a store 8 How to buy windows 7 from microsoft?

    How can I buy windows 7 from Microsoft when the store sells only 8?

    Please - I know that I can get from a retailer!

    My question is why can't buy Microsoft, why was it removed from the store when it is not yet near end of life?
    I understand the new product "flagship" of positioning, but seriously, completely remove 7 - BEST PRODUCT of MICROSOFT FAR and using sayings like "it's 7, but better?"

    I hate to burst your bubble, but it's not better it's a mute version 7 for lazy people learn a real operating system. IMO

    Retailers will sell Windows 7 for a long time, as they did with XP (which is still in the stores). Microsoft, on the other hand, does not benefit from the sales and to improve existing products for too long. They put in place a life cycle of three years for their operating systems, and we invite you to follow this path (even if there is no 'natural reason' for a good product become obsolete within three years).

    About the pro and cons of win 8 compared with Win 7, there are a lot of controversial opinions. Mine is pretty simple: I'm a writer, and my fingers are in need of a keyboard. A touchscreen is not sensible here. If read you, write and correct the large masses of text, you need a big screen. Not something with 7 or 10 ". If you need to compare different versions of an article, you must multi-fenetrage. Not a smartphone user interface with the apps full screen. Windows 8 is not made for my kind of work. It contains a version of dumbed-down of the old office, is not completely useless. All other "innovations", however, may be interesting for the devices people but not for me.

  • Can I buy Windows Xp from microsoft and download it.

    I would like to buy windows XP and download them to my PC. Mircrosoft does support this, and if not... can you direct me to an organization that does this.

    Hello

    Microsoft sells more than XP.

    You could try eBay, etc., but the chances are that you can buy pirated software.

    In your case, buyer beware.

    You can also try local, small repair shops computer just in case they have some XP licenses left.

    Once more, buyer beware.

    See you soon.

    No. Microsoft is no longer manufactures or sells it. You * may * be able to find a
    Copy in a store or website. You can probably find copies on eBay, but
    Personally I would not buy an operating system too many people

    Now its connect with normal mode.
    The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
    Again, I have to forcely, I need to start with safe mode and normal mode then again once I get the same problem.

    Can someone tell me the solution?

    > The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
    Maybe some of your applications cause this problem

    I think you should check what software could cause what I mean it of not impossible that a 3rd party applications that runs in the background would be the cause of your troubles

    Of course, it could also be related to a hardware malfunction. It looks a bit like a RAM problem, but just a personal suggestion.

  • Cannot find the product key and can not use the gift cards to buy Windows 7 from retail store

    Original title: Let Down by Microsoft Retail store

    My daughter lives and breathes on his pc. We had some tough times lately, and of course, his computer has had too many problems. In February of this year, I bought a Win 7 Home Premium for his pc. Since we moved, so I can't find the package with the product key, or the disc. I have $75 in gift cards from Microsoft, I need to buy new win 7 hp. Almost all retailers (in store and online) competitive price a new copy for about $119. We have been saving, and with gift cards, I would have just enough money to buy win 7 hp for my daughter. I went to our Microsoft store in the Mall. (Don't forget I saved for about 6 weeks, we are on a budget, then gift cards have been a miracle!) Guess what? The only place that I can use the maps from Microsoft wants $199.99. To add insult to injury - I can't use gift cards for purchases in line-HELP! We waited 2 months just to be left out... I am very disappointed by Microsoft.
    I thought that we recorded our product with Microsoft when it was originally installed, but cannot find anyone. All solutions?

    If you have purchased windows is installed a keyfinder allows you to recover your product key.

    I think that the price of $119 is to upgrade xp/vista to windows 7.
    the $199 price is for the full version.
  • Satellite L300 - product key Windows 7 required

    Hello. I bought my Toshiba Satellite L300 in 2011 and it came with windows vista preinstalled. Some time later, we learned that Toshiba gave a free upgrade to windows 7. I got the install disks and install windows7. I had zero problems with my machine since and have been a very happy customer - until very recently.

    I emptied my trash recently and for some reason, there were a few critics files in there, so now, my machine does not start. I don't know how they got there because they were in the trash administrator and I always use a subordinate user account - for security reasons.

    Long story short, I tried to start my computer using the windows 7 installation disc which worked perfectly until I had to enter the product key. Unfortunately, the product key on the label of my laptop is for windows vista so I thought that it is not valid. I wonder if I can recover my product key of windows 7 from anywhere? Toshiba would have a record of what they could send me? I was informed by microsoft that I get from Toshiba.

    To complicate things, I bought the laptop in Ireland, but now lives in South Korea, so I can't at home get the product key.

    I have the Toshiba DVD upgrade, the product key would be there?

    Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Toshiba does not provide a unique product for the Windows system keys.
    Toshiba offers own recovery disks / averages in order to recover the laptop back to factory settings.

    Windows system which is part of the image of Toshiba is already enabled and does not require the additional serial key.
