Delete this key after upgrade?

Number of files remained since XP after upgrade from Microsoft store download. I scanned with Onecare? and also in playback of files with Notepad I get info on too many files of previous OS. I started to test the registry database. I have Computer\HKEY - Local - Machine\Software\C07ft5y\ WinXP do you know what it is because I think that it should be deleted. I've already removed the Windows.old folder when it was shown to me by disk cleanup.

Hi StillVista,

This link might give you a better idea of what the key: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-450340.php , especially to look at the number of positions 5 and 6. If you decide to delete (and I'm not able to say whether or not you should) then I suggest that you back up your registry database before making the changes, just in case where to remove it has a detrimental effect on windows.

  • I need to recover my Windows 7 serial key after upgrade

    Hello. Well, a few years ago, I bought a PC with Windows 7. A update my operating system to Windows 8 Pro (original) last year. Two months ago I have upgraded to windows 8.1 Overview.
    My cons:
    -PC warranty expired three years ago. So I can't call the supplier for the series.
    -L' label with the serial number is the damage. I have only 4/5 of the key. I need the first five characters.
    My question is:
    -J' I retrieve my serial number of Windows 7, I'm having some trouble if I downgrade from Windows 8.1 Overview 7 8 and later?
    -Can I retrieve my serial number of my 4/5 of it?
    The reason is that I need to try a virtual Windows 7 machine in Virtual PC, but I need the series. My last question is: can I re-use my serial number on my VM?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    You cannot use the license of Windows 7 on the COA sticker in a virtual machine if there is no host operating system or if the license is already in use.

  • Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after upgrade to win 8 - can't turn WiFi switch

    After several months waiting for my hour I just began my Portege Z930 - 11G for Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

    To a large extent, it went to the plan except that, after execution to display the Assistant Toshiba Upgrade I lost the Fn key and about half of the keys no longer seem to work at all.

    The only key I've ever used on a routine basis is the Fn + F8 option to activate the power switch WiFi.

    So now, I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.

    It must, surely, that there be a way to do it, but I'm not. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now because I have a local cable system in the House, but once I get out on the road I will fight without WiFi.

    Before running the wizard upgrade of the Fn key grew up the key appear in the upper part of the screen and I want to surely I had turned on WiFi right here.

    The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the possibility to do anything else than to disable five notifications screen for keyboard backlighting, power plan, touch pad and cursor overlay digital overlay.

    Any help gratefully received.

    Andrew

    > So now I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.
    First of all, you can enable and disable the WiFi using the function key, but you can also activate the WLan settings of Windows 8
    Key Win + C-> settings-> change PC settings-> wireless

    Now, you can use the cursor to wireless devices to enable or disable the WiFi network.

    But to get the FN button work you need to install the + Toshiba function key + Utility for win 8 and + Toshiba system driver + to win 8

  • How to re-enable the Vista key after upgrade to Windows 7

    original title: Activattion

    I bought a legal copy of Vista 64 bit and I installed on a computer. I then used Windows 7 64 bit upgrade for upgrading Vista to 7. So now, Vista is not installed on this computer. Since this copy is not installed on any computer that I then installed Vist 32 bits with the same product key, as both versions came in a single package. This computer is dead and no longer in use. So now, either 32-bit or 64-bit version is installed on any computer. So I decided to install the 64-bit version on a virtual machine that is the only thing that it is installed on and I can't seem to activate. I know the State of the installation on a single computer, but I thougth that if uninstall you you can reinstall on another computer. All of these computers are mine and only installed on a Vista machine. They have never been installed on two machines at a time. The installation of Vista, I have currently is in a virtual machine. Is there a way I can get this activated copy?

    If you used to upgrade Vista Windows 7 is the upgrade version, rather than the Full Installer version, so your Vista license is no longer valid, as it is subsumed under the license of Win 7.

  • Problem of LTE connectivity after upgrade to iOS 10-SE

    Do not know if everyone knows this, but after upgrade to iOS 10 on my iPhone SE when I leave one area LTE and go to the services area or area No. less than LTE and re - enter a LTE area, I have no service. There is no service or reports 4g, but when I use an app, it says no network not connected. I tried all the usual stuff... Restored from backup, cleared cache, reset the network connections, did a hard reset, nothing works. The only thing that comes to LTE turns the phone then turn it back. All this experience? I have never had this issue before moving to iOS 10.

    I think you have the same problem described here:

    After briefly losing service, iPhone will fail to connect to the cellular network until you restart

  • I get an error when deleting the keys when I try to delete the registry keys under Vista

    jcr442

    You shouldn't go around deleting keys. Why do you really want to delete this key? What program the key belongs? Uninstall the program only removes the key? Otherwise, try to uninstall it in safe mode, or go to the manufacturer's website to see if they have a problem. They have a tool to remove the application. If the program has recently been installed you can also use system restore to remove it. Thank you, Jeremy M - Support Engineer

  • Satellite A200-10N (PSAE3): Fn key does not work after upgrade to vista any time

    After upgrading Vista-Home - Premium--> Vista Ultimate shortcut with the fn keys does not work, for example Fn + F6/7 (brightness).

    New value pack installation has not been successful.
    Moreover, after upgrading the drive to DVD from Toshiba is default, too.
    Who can help?

    I didn't try any update on my A200 but you can try to follow: install Vista using recovery media delivered. When Vista starts for the first time go in Panel and you can find Add/Remove Programs option. Remove all the stuff designed by Toshiba.

    When we remove everything, making Vista upgrade. After finishing Vista upgrade install all the stuff of Toshiba designed by order of specific facilities starting with added value package. Check please the download page if all of these tools and utilities are available.

    As far as I know all the tools and utilities are designed as universal tools and I can't imagine that there is a difference between the version of Vista ultimate or premium tools.

    DVD player is part of the image of the installations only and I can imagine that upgrade installation has changed something, but the upgrade procedure is responsible for this. I don't see any connection to Toshiba.

    As I said I don't have a CD to upgrade, but if I find one I'll try to test it on my Vista (Premium) preinstalled A200-1CR.

    Bye and I hope that you report your experiences with the Vista upgrade again.

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.
