  If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

  If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

  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".

• Want to come back to Windows 8 and product key is lost.

  I have upgraded to windows 10, knowing that I could restore at anytime because I got the CD and the product key for windows 8 (OEM version). Now that windows 10 will soon be available in full version, I would rollback, get my free upgrade, then reported complete. However, flooded House, the items have been moved and ive lost the product key. I still have the oem box and cd. Can I get the product key? Or do I have to buy it again. I always receive amazon for her as well. I know I can get the full version if I continue to test, but I don't want to do that.

• OE upgrade and product key problem

  I want to upgrade vista to windows 7 on my HP laptop. However, when I enter my product key for vista, I receive a message that is not valid. The software is the original that was on the computer when you bought it. What should I do?

  Hello

  There was a free update of Vista 7 years ago, but this offer has 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 upgrade to Windows 7 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 Windows 7 upgrade Option program runs since June 26, 2009 by January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

• Replace the new Windows8 laptop with Windows7 professional - no disks, but have recovery discs and product key

  I have recently fried my laptop 3 year old who has Windows 7 top (my husband he drowned in coffee!).  I bought a new Toshiba laptop and it came with Windows 8.  I already have a laptop with Windows 8.1 so would like to change the more recent Windows 7.  I have the laptop recovery disks drowned and the product key for Windows 7 Professional upgrade.  How can I change to Windows 7 Professional?  I think I need to totally erase Windows 8 first, but I don't know how to do it.

• Can I use Dell original product key to activate a clean Windows installation after I have replace/upgrade motherboard, processor and other key components?

  I have a Dell computer, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed in the factory. There is a product code for windows on the sticker on the box. My problem is that the motherboard and CPU are released. I intend to replace and update the motherboard failed and cpu, ram, power supply, optical drive and eventually put in a larger hard drive. From what I read, I can not simply start the machine with the original hard drive, with windows already installed and activated. So if I wipe the hard drive (or put it in a new), can I clean install Windows 7 and then just use the product key on the sticker on the box to activate the new installation? Or what I need to buy a new copy of Windows 7?

  I've also read on other threads, that you can "transfer" a license of Windows 7 on a different machine only if it is a "commercial" version, not OEM. If the version of Windows that is preinstalled on a Dell computer would be "retail" or "OEM"? And to reactivate the software on a rebuilt/updated machine up-to-date with the new motherboard, etc. would constitute a 'transfer to a new machine' or reactivation just on a computer upgraded?

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  I have a code disc and product installation WinXP of now redundant after upgrading my PC to WSindoes 7... I want to use the WinXP on another PC. Are there restrictions for me this way to use the facility?

  If you used a Windows 7 upgrade version to do the upgrade, XP Licensse is assimilated in it and cannot be used elsewhere.

  If your XP license is an OEM one (has a COA sticker on the case of the machine) may not be used in any other machine - never.

• Upgrade Windows 7 - Vista product key.

  I bought a desktop computer.  When you buy windows 7 it was only a month, that is why the case included a free upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7.

  I need to re - install Windows to solve several problems with the PC.

  I have the DVD Windows 7 Home Premium and the product key.

  I don't have the media or Windows Vista product key.

  I'll be able to directly install the upgrade DVD/key? or do I have to install Vista first?  Will I need a product key for Vista?

  Hello

  When you bought your desktop computer, you had Vista on it.

  You have received a Windows 7 Upgrade disk and license.

  Reinstall Vista > making the Windows 7 upgrade.

  You need OS eligible to upgrade

  You should have a COA sticker with the product key Vista on this subject in the case of funds.

  If you have lost it, order the recovery of the manufacturer media.

  

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
