• Second 64 Vista clean install from upgrade costs DVD, $99?

  My first Vista 64 installation was a clean installation of a DVD upgrade, that I have upgraded XP, and only a clean install was possible, then (2005). I chose Vista, he was then (and I think still is) only possible to use my ASUS mobo to combine with this OS PCI video card.  The hard drive died recently, and after I reinstalled on a new hard drive and made the odd updates hundreds, telephone support assured me it's 100% possible for them to turn it on again, but as that (I think change remote registry) process was "Advanced Troubleshooting", it would cost $99.  I asked to speak to his supervisor, and after a wait, the line was cut off. I called back, got the same result, and after a long wait, the second tech supervisor told me the same thing, with a reference to an article that pointed out that if I reinstalled a previous operating system of microsoft and started the process of upgrading within this installation of windows, it would activate.  I tried the first time, and the upgrade option has been grayed out, so I think it won't, if I go to XP.

  Do I use? Or do I have to buy Vista again?

  Hello

  When you have a version upgrade of Windows, you must install the previous operating system before installing the upgrade.

  Once you install Windows XP, you must install all security and optional updates for unity.  When you are finished, you install the upgrade.  It can then be activated.

• Can I do a clean install with a Windows Vista upgrade disc?

  De : Fred S

  I bought a new PC and I would now like to give my old PC to my nephew. He had been upgraded from XP to Windows Vista. I did a clean install with Windows Vista and remove the Windows.old folder that was taking place, but the computer is not as fast it would be if I had formatted the disk prior to installation. What to do with a Windows Vista Upgrade disk or do I have to purchase the full program?

  De : Brink

  Fred,

  Check in the BIOS for options enable the USB of differnet options (Ex: at startup, inheritance, etc.) and enabled them.

  Hope this helps,

• Re: Satellite L650/0E8 - clean install with Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello.

  I recently bought a [Toshiba L650/0E8 laptop | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/l650/psk1ja-0e8017] and accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7.

  I saved an image of "recovery" from my computer in 4 DVD-R using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. I need to use Adobe Master Collection CS5, but this requires the 64-bit edition to use first Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5. I've put together by reading some articles on the net that I have to do a 'clean' install, but as I've always had a technician set up my computer and have never used a Toshiba laptop before, I'm unaware on how to backup all my files, programs, drivers, etc. before reinstall Windows 7 to a 64-bit version.

  -What do these recovery DVD? Is there anywhere I can download the software/drivers for the 64-bit version Toshiba? I apologize if these questions sound really stupid. Honestly, I'm rather confused as to what to do.

  Hey,.

  First of all I have to say it s even though you created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual. :)
  Some other users here forget it because they don t read their user's manual.

  Anyway, with this record, you can restore the pre-installed Windows version (Windows 7 64 bit) with all the drivers and tools. That means you n t need additional drivers and Toshiba, all tools will be installed automatically. You get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

  But if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk it will wipe the entire HARD drive, then you will need to make a backup of all your important files that you should always after installing Windows.
  This is why I would recommend an external HARD drive. They offer a lot of space to save all your data and with some models, you also backup software, but you can also use the built-in Windows backup tool, it s also nice and works well.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! ;)

• Windows 8.1 clean install with key OEM of Windows 8

  Hello! I have a HP Probook 450 with Windows preinstalled 8. I want to Win 8.1, but I want to do a clean install. Which means: insert the Win DVD 8.1 (I downloaded the .iso on internet image file), formatting of the disc and the last 8.1 Windows installation.

  Will this work? I read that my key Win 8 OEM, which is hardcoded in the BIOS does not allow me to install Win 8.1. Users of the Forum say here and now that it is possible to perform a clean installation to win 8. How is with Win 8.1?

  I did it.  It is possible with elitebook turn...

  You will need:

  1. ISO 8.1 Windows

  2. the default Installation 8.1 Windows key (http://pastebin.com/Cs9GUhyT)<---If this="" link="" is="" gone,="" you="" can="" find="" it="" using="">

  3. your OEM of Windows 8 key (you can use the Belarc Advisor software to find, http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html. ) You can also use the Microsoft Toolkit which can enter this information for you as well)

  4 USB with at least 8 GB. (You can use a micro SD card, but it will be SLOW)

  5. Creator of YUMI (pendrivelinux.com)

  My instructions are summarized by several forum posts (one source for more details http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/48434-Windows-8-1-Clean-Install-Guide). So this point begins after you have recovered your win8 OEM key.

  Instructions

  1. you need to Download the ISO of Windows 8.1 (can be done in several ways.  If you have a key to Win8 retail, which will make life easier, otherwise look for online sources) http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57608376-285/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8.1-iso/.

  [Basically, download the windows installation 8 get started, then cancel immediately and download the windows installation 8.1.]  This is the way to circumvent the application of key windows 8.1]

  (2. After downloading the ISO, use YUMI usb creator and create a USB bootable with windows ISO 8.1).  I had problems with the boot from USB, it seems that there is a lack of design, but maybe just mine.  Let me know if you can start.  If you can not, you will need to remove the USB (1-3 mm) SLIGHTLY.  Basically, my USB does not get to bottom to start.

  3 install windows using keys to default installation 8.1.  Your OEM key will not work.  This key is only for the installation, but you will need your OEM win8 for activation key after the installation of windows.

  4. when everything is installed, go to the activation of windows , or press win + break (you may need to use a function key (fn)).  Change your product key of entering your key OEM win8.

  5. I suggest that if your laptop has softpaq Installer to your computer's drivers, install first.  Then, you can select software and drivers you want to install and do everything at once without having to download one at a time.

  6 finishing

  Let me know if you have any problems, I can walk you through it I took two days to finally understand.  I hated doing windows 8, all updates, and then update windows 8.1.

  I also recommend you only install tasks easeus backup.  You can install all your drivers and programs and then use this program to create a disk image.  My disk image is about 20 GB which is located on a secondary partition (so if your SSD crashes, it's all over well), for fast food.  It takes about 20 minutes for the backup.  Then 20 minutes to restore the disk image I think fast enough.

  1 - the installation says that I needed .net Dot 4

  2 - the second test video driver installation is finished - but - screens flickered and flashed like crazy.

  I did correct anything that.

  Wiped the hard drive and run through the steps above.

  This time, making sure to use the original cd that came with the card of 2011. Result!

  PS - In the first leg through after installing windows successfully, I did all the updates of Windows 7.

  It took hours to download and install.

  Second time, I did not bother with the Windows updates immediately.

  (b) the image of the hard drive and train you to restore boot partitions for multiboot Windows 7 installation.

  (c) work on a quick way to landslide-live stream the latest windows updates in the installation.

• Is it better to clean install or upgrade to Windows 7?

  Windows 7 Ultimate - new installation or upgrade

  I have WIndows 7 Home Premium currently installed on my laptop. (It was preinstalled by the manufacturer when I bought the laptop.)
  I upgraded my main hard drive to SSD, so I got a mirror image on the SSD, including the Windows 7 operating system and drivers.

  Now, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. Here's my question. Given the fact that the Windows 7 Home Premium currently on my hard drive is mirror image (copy of my old hard disk where the OS has been installed by the manufacturer), it is better for a clean installation or an upgrade ever?

  Thank you.

  Making an Express upgrade will do just fine.

  If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is an upgrade of retail full version or upgrade Express, you can use the product key and upgrade Express from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

• Clean install with disk XP Pro on Portege S100?

  Searched everywhere for an answer to this, with conflicting results. I just want to put in the disk of XP Pro volume I and re-install Windows. I'll add then all utils Toshiba and I need later. However the XP disc does not detect the HARD drive in the laptop and adding RAID drivers via a USB key does not help. I wiped the HARD drive and used QPart to have a peek. I am quite confused as to what is happening inside the laptop in terms of hidden partitions, RAID, JBOD and other. I want just a single partition with Windows on it - nothing complicated. Is this too much to ask?

  Any help appreciated before returning to the recovery CD :-(

• How can I clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using a upgrade disc?

  Originally, I had a Windows Vista 64 - bit o/s office.

  I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit o/s

  The first time I ran this 'upgrade', I made the mistake of selecting the option UPGRADE instead of using the CUSTOM option.

  For some time since I've done the 'upgrade' I got BSOD problems including caused by video and WebCam drivers.

  This is why last week, I took the plunge and decided to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using my UPGRADE disc (the disc is not FULL version)

  I selected CUSTOM

  I saw, I had two partitions:

  Disk 0 Partition 1: Win_RE

  Disk 0 Partition 2: CDrive (c :))

  I couldn't find an option to delete my partitions and perform a new installation.

  I ran this and finished installing fine but did not format my drive and it change named my windows to windows.old. Things seem to be ok on my PC, now that I've done this, and I don't take BSoD right now.

  However, I was told that I should be able to achieve a COMPLETE clean install delete partitions to force the OS to reformat and recreate the C: partition.

  The menu:

  Discount

  Load the driver (I have no idea what is this option)

  To make changes to partitions, restart Windows from the installation disc

  I could not click on an option to delete/reformat my partitions and thus abandoned the process.

  I then let the disc (forgive my ignorance) and restarted the PC. I dropped in the BIOS and set to boot from the DVD drive.

  This did not do anything to bring up the WINDOWS SETUP option. It would simply start Windows after that, I suspect, he couldn't find the exe file to start.

  Thus, while everything seems to work fine, I'm frustrated that I can't run a clean full install like what I'm doing doesn't work.

  If someone is able to give me advice on how I can get the installation routine to show this option which would be more useful.

• I'll be able to perform a clean install of Windows 7 (Vista Upgrade Option)?

  I was wondering if I would be able to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 with "upgrade drive" we are is sent when Windows 7 is released October 22, 2009. I had read that we will be able to upgrade the sense we will keep all our old stuff, however I just want to perform a clean install without all the garbage that comes preloaded on the computer when you buy it.

  Yes, you will be able to clean install with upgrade disc. Generally, everything you had will go into a folder named windows.old, if you have backed up everything you can delete this folder but if not only get what you need, then delete. This issue will take place. The folder contains all the files you had, the programs, but you can not open them or he'll tell program not found and the files of vista or xp. I hope this helps. Just at the moment where you see the menu level or custom installation, click Custom install and who should be the ability to clean the facility.                  OS: Windows 7 Professional. PC: HP DV4t.

• MY Hard Drive died and I need to re - install my upgrade disk

• Using the media update for windows 7 (from vista), can I now re - install 7 via the clean install option, even if it is the path I have chosen when first installing 7 first?

  With a 7 upgrade version (not the full version) I could not use the upgrade option to install 7 on Vista, because it asked me to uninstall 2 programs that would not work in 7 with installation before you begin.  I couldn't do it because my Windows Installer is missing on my computer. (In fact, I couldn't even run the Windows Upgrade Advisor before proceeding with the installation because this program must be installed on your computer before you can run) So, I chose to use the custom installation and it worked fine, except that my computer is now worse than with vista. Thinking that it was because he kept all the vista files (windows.old) I deleted this file, but he did that give back me my hard drive space. I would like to make a re-install using this same version upgrade disc, but I've heard that I can not do a clean install, if the original operating system is not currently on the computer (using the version upgrade 7, not the full version), and I guess that's is more on my computer with the exception of fragments which I affect 7 performance. If this is true, what should I do? If I have to go to the full version, is there a way I can just pay the difference between what I already bought and version complete, or will lose money that I spent on the upgrade version, and buy the full version outright? Bottom line is this:  I want to just Vista on my computer for GOOD!  I don't want something that looks even left of Vista on my computer. I'm sacrificing all my programs to do it with a clean install, but it's better than all the headaches, I got Vista! Thanks in advance for all you can give me advice.
