Fake copy of Windows 7 (Home Premium)

• during the installation of licenced copy of windows 7 Home Premium - I can't write my username keyboard wired - num light is off - hoe to write?

  I tried to install a licensed copy of windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on C: or D:.

  Up to write user name, all measures are gradually running & stops at 'write username. because I'm unable to write because of the keyboard NUMLOCK is off. When I press the num lock light button is "ON", when I release the finger of the num lock key light is disabled (unable to write with key board.

  In contrast, windows 8 Pro gets comfortably installed on C: or D:. This means that the keyboard is ok.

  What is the problem with the installation of windows 7 so that the keyboard is not recognized (active) while writing "user name".

  Can you try to connect the keyboard to a different port and see if it works?

  Turn off the system

  It again, go into the BIOS and change USB legacy mode and see if it works.

• Copy of Windows 7 Home Premium has no valid license.

  Bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Preium I believe at the time, he is out. Earlier this year, my computer died. When a friend he got all repaired them for me instead of using my own copy of Windows, he used a pirated copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. Hack broke and Windows complains of not being authentic. I find and install my copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on it, but he always complains about not being authentic, declaring inadmissible permit despite the use of the product key provided with the CD. A possible cause of this problem and the solutions that I can try?

  Some things to note...

  (1) you seem to have tried a WIndows repair install? -C' is the cause of the two file incompatibilities.

  (2) the 0xc004c4ab error indicates that an operation of Activation is installed.

  (3) a downgrade from Ultimate to Home Premium reuires a clean install.

  (4) the validation breaks seem to complain about your system clock.

  You must reformat and reinstall from the adequate support for your key (which seems to be valid) - an Activation exploit will tend to leave the system n a vulnerable state where its security is not guaranteed.

  I'm afraid that someone will end you in completely in the wrong direction on this. The recovery media is probably completely OK.

  The HP SLIC has absolutely nothing to do with the windows you are trying to install, but stands in the BIOS of the laptop. Someone hacked the BIOS Acer to tell windows antifeatures of piracy which is HP laptop, presumably so that they could use HP media instead. Reinstalling Windows will not fix the BIOS.

  All I can suggest is to download the Acer BIOS update files and try and install one to replace the SLIC entry. There is however 2 caveats to that. 1stly that the damaged area is not always included in the files to update the standard BIOS, so if you can run a BIOS update may not solve the problem. 2ndly some BIOS update programs you cannot install an older than the currently installed BIOS and one that fits in a first time (because it can be complete) would be the version original factory.

  It's not all just Microsoft to blame for this issue when it was caused by someone trying to circumvent the measures to combat software piracy that any developer has the right to use. As said from your description that it is only a problem due to fraudulent activity.

  Also when you are communicating on this forum you're not dealing with Microsoft, all the people here are voluntary and have no direct involvement with Microsoft to help posters like you.

• I bought a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium and after reinstalling my OS, I thought that the product key already exists, and it will not accept it.

  I have a laptop with windows vista Home premium that I bought at a price of extortionist from a retailer, I had to reinstall because of some software that magically stoped working and so my computer crashing. Now Microsoft´s site says that my product key already exists (although I know because this is my product key) and he won´t consider. How can I get my original key work?

  Hello

  There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

  If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

  • Pay Sony for media recovery
  • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

  If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

  .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

  Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

  If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

  If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

  My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

  I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

  • The legality of this is, at best, questionable
  • If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

  Tricky

• How can I get a clean copy of windows vista Home premium. I've never had a disc, but I have a registration number?

  My computer would not start. I never received a boot disk. I used my friends boot drive and now windows think my computer is a Dell. The registration key for my computer does not work. How do you get a clean copy, I am owner of Vista already?

  Hello

  as you have discovered the recovery discs are brand and the specific model

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista:

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  Hello

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

  If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, if they still have them available...

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  

  And if the computer/laptop is always up and launched, you can check under programs > the manufacturer's software > create Recovery Disk/Media or similar words

  See you soon.

  I listened to people who have claimed to be experts, big mistakes. I bought this laptop used. Compaq Presario CQ56 with problems. I had reformatted it and Windows 7 (64 bit) relocated to Arkansas, it's over. I had an another 'Expert' work on that here and now, is that he put a pirated copy of windows on it. I have some experience with computers from DOS to Windows 98. I also have a desktop computer with Windows XP I've worked with some. I am now located in the Philippines and need to get a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) so that I can try and restore my computer to original factory. What I need, is the drive installation and instructions on how to do it properly. There, any help will be appreciated.

  My recommendation is to have a friend or relative in the USA order a set of recovery discs for your laptop from the link below and send them to you.

  They would need to be able to enter the serial number of your PC.

  To order, they click on the link below and then click on the link labled order recovery media.

  If its licensed OEM System Builder that was never used, Yes. If his license OEM from another computer, no.

  As mentioned, the laptop must already include factory restore options that may allow you to reinstall the operating system from scratch.

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often 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".
