• How to reinstall the upgrade of Windows 7 after replacing the hard drive

  I have a few problems and decided after many hours of nowhere to replace my hard drive, I am running Win7 installed via an upgrade disk, because it doesn't seem to be a startup disk (I want to run repair to try to recover the missing files / corrupted etc.) what I need to install Vista first and then use the upgrade disk?

  There are likely to be problems with activation etc as in the past, that a new hard drive has been regarded as the same license is installed on a different machine?

  * original title - hard drive replacement, Q on installation of Windows

  Thanks for both answers, but as I could not reinstall Vista due to the lack of drive & key - I put my system together myself have so do not the sticker supplied with the systems, pre-built, I moved twice since the departure of Vista installation, the disk may or may not be somewhere in this House.

  My solution was to take the opportunity to upgrade my CPU and add that extra RAM so bought a win7 disc at the same time (which I'll keep somewhere safe). Yes, I've probably lost money by doing it this way, but it's my money to waste.

  The end result is that the PC works well which is what matters in the end for me.

  Thanks again for the responses.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Reinstall the upgrade to Adobe Pro XI

  My hard drive has failed, so I need to reinstall Pro XI, an upgrade of Standard 9, that I bought for a single price.  I have the correct keys for both products. I downloaded Pro XI, enter the activation key, which he accepted.  However, in order to open Pro XI, the program takes me to a "Serial number upgrade" screen.  The drop is looking for the previous version - without doubt Standard 9 - validating the upgrade.  As a result, thinking that I must begin with 9 Standard, I deleted Pro XI, in charge of 9 Standard, but it does not recognize the activation key for this version.  I'm unable to move forward.  What should I do?

  When you install acrobat xi Setup detects a serial number update.  It will then search for a product calling it (for example, acrobat std 9), there is failure to find that you will be able to select the product in a drop-down list.  You will then be asked to enter the serial number of the eligible product (ie, acrobat std 9).

  If you enter the correct number to the correct installation of the xi ends.

• Reinstall the upgrade.

  I got Photoshop CS5 a CS update.  My computer crashed, I need to reinstall CS5. Reading the forums, I discovered that I could download CS2 because the activation server is down for CS and CS2. I did and it is installed. However, CS5 will not install as it is said that the serial number for the CS2 is not a qualifying product. What can I do?

  Chances are that you need to use the serial number of your purchase of CS.  If you are unable to work things out you must contact Adobe Support by chat or phone when you have the serial number and activation problems.

  Here are some links to help get in touch:

  PS - you diod not need to install CS/CS2 to install CS5.  You need only the number of series.

• Can not reinstall the upgrade of MS CS6 with CS4 MS series

  My organization purchased upgrade CS6 Master Suite in which we used a serial number CS4 Master Suite we had owned in December of 2012. The installation was very good. I'm now doing a clean install of a new SSD volume and it is is not letting me use the serial number CS4 MS, saying: this isn't a product calling. I thought maybe it was because I had always installed on another volume, so I disabled that settle, but I still got the same message.

  Anyone else having this problem?

  No, the CS4 was purchased in 12/2009, so it has nothing to do with the window of upgrade of last year. Or at least it shouldn't be!

  I was talking about buying CS6 not CS4 - and if the CS6 Installer got his calendar and upgrade windows mixed up. But forget this thought. A Kipper irrelevant.

  Simply contact Adobe since the user forums can help you with serial number problems.

• The upgrade of vista activation window

  I have a HP computer I bought several years of 'NEW '.  She had the window XP by HP with a key code on the side of the computer for XP.  Later, I've updated with windows vista, which was more stable and safer.   My computer is turned off and I couldn't have managed to restart.  First, I tried the vista upgrade disc and he told me that I had to use the original windows XP to perform a recovery.  Since the windows XP has been installed by HP I had to use the original recovery discs, I did when I first bought the computer.  Then I had to reinstall the upgrade to vista.  Now to my problem: I tried to activate the vista, but since it was installed by HP there is no activation wizzard, so I used the prompt "Activate now" and he asked that I enter the code I did and he said I have used the original key not upgrade code code.  So, I am entered in the key for the windows XP code he would accept either this key code.  I called the Microsoft Support Center and tried to get help.  Finally, I need to talk to a technical support and he said that I'd give it an activation number that is indicated in the "Activation Wizzard" which I told her that I don't have the "Wizzard" because it was installed by HP.  He said he couldn't help me and hung up on me immediately.  Then, I called HP to see if they could help me get the activation number that Microsoft wanted to.  They said that my computer was more guaranteed and could not help me, but could give me to another group of service that would charge me aqpproximately $60 to help me.  I told him everything I needed was the GOOD key code for the window they've installed on my XP computer or tell me how to enter into the computer to confirm that the key code, they gave me was correct or not.  He asked for forgiveness, but my computer was out of warranty.  I bought two operating systems of windows for this computer and have two key codes and neither one of them can be activated.  The key encoded on the computer is provided by Microsoft and key coded on the Vista upgrade is provided by Microsoft, so why can't the operating system activated by Microsoft.  For both companies CUSTOMER SERVICE leaves much to be desired.  I have spent a lot of time getting this system to the top and re - install the other software that I had to go through all of the upgrade again.  I don't want to not all over again if I don't get the Windows operating system that is activated before the end of the time and the system shuts down again.

  Hello

  It seems that the Windows Vista product key has been blocked, so you may need a new product key.

  You can keep your Windows Vista DVD at hand & contact Microsoft Product Activation Center for assistance.

• Reinstall CS3 Web Standard after the hard disk crash. Serial number, but check the upgrade is a problem - from Mac to PC, so does not match my product calling (Studio MX Mac)

  I'm reinstalling CS3 Web Standard after a hard disk crash. I have my serial number, but after entering, it does a check of upgrade, and at the time wherever I upgraded I also did a single switch from Mac to PC - so my product calling (Studio MX Mac) has a serial number starting with "WSM600"... ", while the upgrade check won't accept - Studio MX Mac is not yet available as an option. This happened once before and I had to work with a representative by phone (I had to click in a hidden part of one of the activation screens to get a number, if I remember correctly), but apparently Adobe that does more. And the page of "www.adobe.com/go/activiation" the phone message directs you to doesn't seem to have an option for this problem either.

  So, what is the replacement or her work around this problem now?

  Hi lkauffman,

  The serial number must be unlocked for activation.

  Please contact customer support.

• What can I reinstall/upgrade Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the upgrade CD that I bought?

  Please help me with the steps I must follow to upgrade/reinstall my Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I bought the upgrade CD, but I keep reading that I can't upgrade, I have to re - install.  How do, or have I just wasted my money?

  Thank you

  David

  The two DVD come in the box of Vista Ultimate.  The same upgrade key works for both.  The procedure is to let the 32-bit version on the hard drive for the verification of license and a custom installation will work.  The hardware hash will be the same and the product key is the same for the activation servers to happen anyway as a repair installation.

• I had a computer with a dead HDD p6510f so I thought the upgrade also.

  HP pavilion p6510f, Win 7, 4 GB of ram with a dead hard drive. I thought to upgrade the Athlon II X 4 630 to a Phenom II X 6 1045T at the same time to get more power calculation, but for the money I am better doing a map of graffiti instead? I'm not a gamer but do a lot with the video and it's a little slow. I also plan to go with a 32 or 64 GB of SSD to put the operating system and a 500G to 1 t hard drive to store data. How can I get the xtra power for additional components connectors?

  se77,

  A simple reading of the plug on the upgrade of processor p6510f reflects no Pheom II X 6 support: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02153181

  But you could add more RAM motherboard.

  As Danjen said, the addition of a new graphics card will require a new higher power PSU.

   

• Reinstall Vista upgrade Express of Business to ultimate after hard drive crash

  When I bought my first computer at Dell, it had Windows Vista Business installed on the computer.  Shortly after the purchase, I bought an upgrade on Amazon.com to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.  I remember that when I upgraded, a file has been downloaded and executed on the computer that has provided the additional functionality of Vista Ultimate.  The file is stored in my service digital locker.  I think I have the product key that was used after the upgrade (it of in my notes, but does not match the original product code which is on the side of my computer).  In any case, the hard drive crashed and I reinstalled windows vista professional, on the recovery provided by Dell CD.  However, I can't seem to find a way to present a new request the ultimate improvement to the computer (it only gives me vista professional).  Now that the digital locker is gone, I can't recover this file and emails informing her service digital locker went went to an old email account I'm not "check very often (I located the email I was trying to research on mine)."

  Can someone provide me with instructions on how to apply a full new vista computer?  If I think I have the product key for the upgrade, is it possible for this punch in and extract the upgrade feature?  Thanks in advance!
