Clean Windows 8 PRO Installation

I would like to do a new install of Windows 8 PRO on my Dell Inspiron 17R, 1720. For this application, I use a Samsung 850 EVO SSD drive. My question is:

Can I use Windows 8.1 PRO builder OEM DVD 64-bit system to do an install on Dell Inspiron 17R clena, 1720?

Will be my BIOS and the activation key for windows to the current address allows me to perform a new installation using this OEM DVD?

Thank you very much

Yury

If this is the same version of Windows ships with the other system, yes you can.

You cannot use a Pro disc for a system of documentation that came with the standard version of Windows 8, though.

    Followed, after contact Apple support, by sending in diagnosis and return just GENERALS of Apple engineers... I did a thorough cleaning of my PowerBook. Using the command-R during restart, started in Recovery Mode or what it's called, used the disk utility, wiped and formatted the drive. Made a new fresh install of OS X el Capitan. Updated. THEN, I installed Windows with BootCamp Assistant. The process worked. My hunch is that use Time Machine to power my new machine was the culprit. I am betting that Time Machine copied on the parameters of my previous machine (a mid-2011 Powerbook), on this new Powerbook from 2015. That's the only difference. So it is now resolved.

    I have the system recovery discs, which are for Win Vista OS but I think that they only work for the original Vista installation.

    Thanks in advance

    Here's the original specifications for your desktop HP Pavilion Media Center m8517c. The HP recovery disks only returns the computer to a factory State... including Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit, drivers and HP provided software (BTW, recovery disks cannot install an SSD). If you want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro, skip using the HP recovery discs.

    Some drivers may be installed by Windows 7, and you will need to download the remaining drivers from the manufacturers of different devices. Intel for chipset drivers Realtek for network and HD audio, NVIDIA for graphics drivers, pilots etc. If you have any questions, find the right drivers please post (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Windows XP Pro installation

    I have a pavilion dv6108nr laptop.  The original HD 80 G crashed.  Bought a new 160 G HD and tried to install Windows XP Pro.  Once the installation of XP has loaded from the cd and I pushed "enter" to install, I got the message "Setup has not found any hard drives installed in your computer." ... 'the installation cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3. »

    I had done several XP installs on the desktop and don't have a problem.  This is the 1st installation on a laptop?  I checked the bios at startup upwards to see if the HD must be installed here, but there is no such feature.

    I tried a second nine HD (think the first HD could be faulty) and still got the same message.  Any help or suggestion on how to get the installer to recognize that the HD can get in shape for the installation would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you...

  • Windows XP Pro Installation Disc

    I know that you do not supported Windows XP more, but... I had to replace the hard drive on my laptop. Now, I need to reinstall the OS, but of course, have no installation CD. It's Windows XP Pro and the product key is on the label. I want to stay with XP for now. Is there anywhere I can download the installation on a CD disc?

    Unfortunately not.  But is you know someone who has a Windows XP computer with the XP CD "commercial" version see if they'll let you borrow it so you can re - install XP.

    Once installation is complete you check the manufacture of mobile support site to see if they still list the drivers XP, you will need to download and install.

    Also consider making a backup of the Image on an external USB drive as a means of protection if you need to re - install XP, simply use the most recent backup) of the drive if you ae able to install and activate XP using your key successfully.

  • Windows xp pro installation re...

    Hi all. I think I made a boo boo! My computer was getting slower and slower and this hour glass symbol appears too often so I thought that I reinstall Win XP Pro drive cleaning and start like new. Then I started the computer, put my XP Pro disc in the drive, he asked me what I wanted to do, I said to re - install xp and off he went. He asked me for the key, I entered, it continued on more and then stops, restarts and boots from the CD. Just at the moment where he gets to the part where its ready to install and I have to press 'enter' to do this, it stops again. I restart manually and still when it comes to where I have to 'ENTER' to continue, she stops again. I tried the same thing with xp Home Edition, but the same thing happens before "ENTER". So now I can't use the computer at all. It is a computer tailored from 2007. All I get now is a blue screen when its configuration, and before that I "GET" his farm down. Any help please.

    Thank you in advance,

  • Windows 8 Pro Installation error 0xE0000100

    When installing Windows 8 Pro, when I start the installation, I get an error saying

    "Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Check that the installation sources are accessible and restart the installation. "Error code: 0xE0000100.

    I'm not able to install Windows and I don't have any OS installed on the PC. What should I do?

    I just had this error and correct him.

    In my case, I had an older version on Windows on the drive, but it really was a problem with the disk partition.

    I started on a DVD of Win7, but I think a Win8 DVD should have available also.

    Select the repair, since you don't have any OS installed you must get to a command prompt.  It's easier to do on the Win8 DVD, choose Advanced Options, and then command prompt.

    The DVD of Win7, I had to choose repair.  He asks for your image.  Once again, since a new installation you do not have an image, click on the X as you would to close a program.  It takes you into the 'advanced repair options' and choose command line.

    Run DISKPART, and he runs the utility.  He always seems to be a DOS window, but it is actually the DISKPART util, in that you are.  Change a drive letter and a folder to read only DISKPART

    While in there, type HELP and it shows you all available commands.

    1. SELECT disk 0 (only drive in the system)
    2. LIST of partition
    3. SELECT PARTITION 1
    4. DELETE Partition 1 (I had already done while it was attached as a USB on my Win7 computer using the computer Manager, but he was still displayed as it when I posted using the Win8)
    5. Typed the LIST again once and there are no partitions.

    It is not case-sensitive.  Type HELP if you need to find the exact command.  Type HELP command-NAME to get help on a specific command.

    Hello

    I decided to do a clean install of Windows 10 Professional (x 64) on my Lenovo X 1 Yoga (20FQ).

    I'm currently pulling my hair out trying to install Windows 10 in UEFI mode, I want to do so that I can use all the features of the TPM and bitlocker. No matter what I do I was not able to install Windows 10 Professional (x 64) in UEFI mode, I was able to install it in legacy mode.

    Can someone point me to a guide to install Windows to UEFI mode?

    I'm sure to UEFI, the file system must be FAT32 not NTFS.

    It may seem strange for NTFS works with 'legacy', but not UEFI - but I think that FAT32 is now considered a 'standard' and integrated with UEFI while NTFS is still proprietary format of Ms...

  • Clean install of windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade, I have windows xp x 32 on a disk hard available, which I no longer use, can I do this?

    I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.

    I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?
    I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settings

    How to do a clean install:

    Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)

    Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.

    Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.

    Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.

    Step 5: Use this key USB or DVD to boot the PC.

    Step 6: When you get to the screen in the Setup program that asks, "which type of installation you want?" choose "custom".

    Step 7: Select a drive for the operating system partition in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there is enough space available or reformat the hard disk.

    Step 8: Proceed with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.

    You should probably do a phone activation after installation is complete.

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.
