  • Can not activate my Win7 HOME Basic. Help, please

    I have 4 copies of the original Win7 HOME Basic on my 4 computers. The problem is that I forgot to mark what CD for which computer and now I have to reinstall the windows on one of my computer, so I'm just randomly on 4 CDs. whenever I try to activate, they say that this is not the right product key.

    Any solution to this?

    The key must rely on the COA sticker attached to the machine in question.

    The key here seems to be valid.

    Note:

    0xC004F050 usually means that you have misinterpreted a character - C/G or B/8 or Y/V are the most common.

    Please note that the following characters cannot be used - A E I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like noise it does :)

  • cannot activate win7 to Singapore using the basic product key windows home 7 I bought in China

    I am an international student in Singapore. When I was in my homeland, China, I bought and installed windows 7 home basic OS on my computer. Recently, my computer broke down, so I tried to install windows 7 using the windows 7 home basic OS DVD I bought before. But when I try to activate the system, I show that the product key of my windows 7 is not available. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to buy a new windows 7 OS to Singapore?

  • Easy install transforms Win7 Pro in Win7 Home Basic

    I'm using VMware Workstation 7.1.2.  I used the Easy Install feature to install Ubuntu, Server 2003 and Windows XP, which all worked well.  However, I just tried to do my first install of Windows 7 Pro and some how VMware transformed into Windows 7 Home Basic Edition.

    My host OS is Win 7 Pro x 64, OS, I tried to install guest is Win7 Pro x 64.  Easy install detects the version of the OS under Win7 x 64, but after the installation is complete and I connect for the first time and try to activate and activation fails with a message that I need a basic Windows 7 Home Edition key or I need to reinstall windows.  I tried to create a 2nd fresh VM with the same results.  On the 3rd try, I did the installation manually instead of using Easy Install and everything worked well: I have Win7 Pro as expected.

    Is there a bug with Win7 Pro and Easy Install?  How can I do to fix this, so I don't have to do manual installs in the future?

    Y at - it a bug with Win7 Pro and Easy Install?

    Yes - it looks like this - you are the third case this week that I see with the same story.

    If you want an easy installation do not use the 'easy install' function but use "I will install later...". »

  • Can I switch to Win 7 SP1 of Vista Home Basic (without Service Pack)?

    Hello, currently I run Vista home basic 32-bit without the service Pack installed. I did once try and install but I got was a never-ending startup sequence (the BONES do not start) and I had to restore a backup copy of previous Vista before installing SP1. So it's just a quick question: can I go directly to Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 without having all the service packs currently? I don't have a lot of free time to do a clean install and restore programs and games, and configure them.

    Microsoft recommends that you have at least Service Pack 1 installed.

    You can try to install without MS, if you wish.

    And if you have a problem, follow this information.

    Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

    Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, first of all the installation of SP1.

    Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=30

  • Customer service is unable to handle the situation?

    I am very frustrated with the customer service. It is impossible to get what seems like a simple situation resolved. About 1 and a half weeks ago, I decided to stop my subscription for the creative cloud, given that my school has access to the programs. I cancelled my subscription and did not know that there is a $70 cancellation fee. I didn't want to be charged. I contacted the customer service to stop the cancellation and they did (too quickly) until the Bill actually hit my bank account. And for a few days, it was fine, and I decided to keep the subscription since the school year is almost over. Then out of nowhere they charged me $69.97 March 24! I'm chatting to support and each time they said my case was "degenerate." I found to mean nothing, they are thrown not email as they said or anything, they just through my away my problem. And the thing that frustrates me really, it is that they continue to charge my account of the subscription...

    I don't want to cancel my membership, I want to just cancellation fee reimbursed since MY ACCOUNT IS STILL ACTIVE... This problem is very annoying! Does anyone know a way to get hold of someone who can actually fix this simple problem?

  • I think that my system of basic windows files have been changed and currupted can someone please help!

    I get major errors that led me to think my windows files have been modified and currupted I just can't install microsoft updates they download, but I'm unable to install, I'm unable to use the Disk Defragmenter and disk scan as it said my system is already in use. I am also unable to use my acer factory restore settings because it loads but never finishes running can someone please help! I am not in a position to buy or pay for a new cd of windows so that I can make a new clean instalation as I can't afford it can someone please help!

    Download of updates of work but the installation of updates arnt working
    installation of games arnt working cd - I get errors
    disk defragment simply does not work I click top but nothing happnens - perhaps sumthing to do with priviliages admin, but I am the administrator.
    Scan disk does not work as it says system is already used but works if I put it to run at reboot
    MY acer DEFAULT factory restore setting does not work it loads but never short - that led me to believe I have no control over my privliages of basic windows system, but I am the adminsitror.

    I already had major problems when WIndows would break and stops working when you start up, I managed to solve this problem in safe mode and disabling some start up programs to check the malware was eventually attached to my system using windows scanner and malwarebytes defnder, I managed, but it seems that it is undetectable.

    I am unable to afford a new cd for a new clean instalation of windows, I think I need. can someone please

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    It comes to the use of the partition Recovery of Acer to restore factory settings.

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means that all of your files, such as e-mail and photos, will be deleted. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all data before starting the recovery process.

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
    3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
    4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
    5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
    6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
    7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens or the recovery Partition is damaged, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Impossible to activate Win7 Home Premium with key valid after repair

    Pavilion P6210f motherboard has been replaced due to the failure of the sata controller. Once the motherboard has been replaced, the BONE started to make a notification that "windows is not genuine." Tried the system restore in time earlier but the error persists. I did a restore of the backup and the error has become this key is invalid for activation. I guessed that he had already been activated when I made the backup. I then got the product key for the hard drive and did a 'set up' after you download the oem version of win 7 Home premium on the Microsoft site. The error is changed to "key is invalid for activation. Haven't tried to use SFC to check all files, there were no problems found, but it still wouldn't turn on. Called Microsoft and sat with the tech for two hours while they went through the same steps that I had. They came too with the same results. And even if the key I gave them has been verified as being valid and obtained via the route from the HP website they refused to give me a different key, instead referring me to HP unless I want to purchase a new license for $150. I want to just activate the verified legitimate copy of win 7 I have.

    After setting up, I always had to reload all Microsoft updates. It takes an extremely long time to complete the prospect of having to use the disks from HP System files to regress to the original configuration is not really an attractive or resolved.

    Ideas/suggestions welcome

    I think the problem is in the 'motherboard has been replaced due to failure of the sata controller".  Do you have what motherboard used for the replacement?  OEM operating system state is probably the remote sensing of the new motherboard and not finding what is needed to allow for this change.  You could try using the key from the sticker on the box to activate the installation.  Do you know how to use it?  I'm surprised that Microsoft technology does not suggest that.
