• Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk

  Hi all

  I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.

  As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/

  As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.

  Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.

• How to get Windows key of the S55-A5279 Satellite?

  Hello world!

  I would like to know what kind of license WINDOWS of this machine.
  Is it possible to know, using the serial number of machine?

  I appreciate the response.
  Kind regards!

  (Sorry for my English, I'm not sure of what I wrote, I'm Spanish)

  When you buy the laptop with OS preinstalled, it is activated and prices for laptop includes a valid license for the Windows operating system. Is this product key that you get with your machine belongs to the preinstalled recovery image, and it is useless for you.

  Maybe you can find a tool that can be read, but you can't do anything with it.
  With other words, it's just a useless number.

• can I use the windows key for the laptop broken on a new computer?

  Pre-installed Windows 7

  My laptop came with pre installed Windows 7, but now its dead as motherboard had burntout. So I am planing to buy a new system. I have the product key of Windows from the thumbnail below my old laptop, I use the product key or I have to buy a new copy of windows

  The copy of Windows 7 that came with this laptop is LINKED to this laptop.  It goes with her, even in death.

  If you get the laptop repaired, then you can use the method/support of the manufacturer of the laptop gave you to restore the operating system on that now resurrected system.  If not - you bought the rights for the whole package - not the individual components.

• Shortcut to the Windows key

  Hello:

  I have an older keyboard which I will not part with but it has one drawback - it doesn't have a Windows key. I've seen a lot of shortcuts which involve the Windows key, but what should I do if I don't have a Windows key?

  Hello

  You can use the Ctrl + ESC key to simulate the Windows key, however, it does not work with a lot of shortcuts Windows default key. Sometimes you can press the ESC key first followed by the CTRL key over a shortcut key to make it work, but a large part of the functionality is lost.

  I have not tested Windows 7 remains to be seen what works and what does not.

  You can see the current list of shortcuts to Windows key at the following link.

  Windows logo keyboard shortcuts

  Of course, you can also create shortcuts to certain functions and assign your own shortcut in the properties of the shortcut key.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Satellite L50 - A - 1 7 - is possible to use the windows key

  Hello

  IM upgrading to a L50 - a - 1 c 7 for a desktop game pc. im going to use the hard drive of my laptop and I'm not going to use my laptop again.

  so my question is: is it possible to use the key windows of my laptop and re - use for my office?
  When I have more money later I'll buy a HDD a windows for my laptop key

  Thanks in advance

  In General, the Windows key is the version of the OS installed on your laptop. I don't understand how you want to use the HARD drive on your desktop with a different hardware configuration. Original image installed on your HARD drive recovery is designed for your laptop and a suitable job o with certain hardware platform.

• How to make my f1 - f12 keys to the origin function

  My laptop is HP 431. On my keyboard here small image of f1 to f12. example like f5 has a picture of something like "the Earth", this means that if you click on it, it will open the 'internet' browser (for example, google chrome, etc.). Another computer f5 = refresh, but me f5 = open the internet browser. How to transform my f5 refresh like another computer? Clik fn, or what?

  Please answer me, I need your help. I use my f1 - f12 for another program and if I click on f5 it will open the web browser, and I can't play my program...

  There might be an easier way, but it varies depending on the PC manufacturers.

  Press the Windows key and the X key.  This will open the Windows Mobility Center - a utility you will find has been customized by HP.

  They may be provided an entry for "Function key behaviour" which allows to switch between the "multimedia buttons" & "function keys."  Then you might normally have quick access to the uses of these media keys but deliberately off it when you want to use those applications for which it is delicate.

  Similarly, while the keys are defined as multimedia keys, you should be able to press the Fn key with the key F1-12 to make it work like a normal F1-12 key.  And when they are ready to be normal F1-12 function keys, you could press Fn with F1-12 key to make them work as multimedia keys.  In other words, using the Fn key with the key function back everything is set up as its normal behavior.  Again, this varies with PC manufacturers, but is a fairly widespread ability then try to see if it applies to your PC.

• Satellite L300D - corrupted hard drive, no recovery media, no windows key

  I have a Satellite L300D-11V I'm looking for someone who would not go further that a screen blank after windows start logo, and also when you run Startup Repair he would get at this stage even too. Now pressed 0 while starting would not bring to the top of recovery, only an option for Windows Vista.

  With the help of some high end diagnostic software I have diagnosed that the hard drive has several physical defects that could well be the reason for this purpose the reader is better off being replaced. However, because of the mistakes, I am unable to create images of the player via Acronis or similar.

  Buying a new drive no problem, but the person never did no recovery media so it appears I have to buy a Toshiba recovery.

  There is no Windows key on the case anywhere either.

  If I had to buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important that I have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?

  Thank you

  > If I buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important to have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?
  In this situation best way to solve this is to swap HARD drive, restore disk original order of Toshiba and install Recovery designed for this model laptop image.
  Recovery image should not be enabled. After the installation, it will be activated automatically if you n t need product key of Microsoft for activation.

  Original recovery disk can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  By the way: Win7 32 bit works quite well on this laptop model then perhaps you should install has the version of Win7. Of course if you do this, you need legal product key.
  Anyway it has nothing to do with Microsoft sticker placed on Toshiba laptops. This key cannot be used for activation anyway.

• Satellite L505 - 14K - cannot read Windows key label CoA

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite L505 - 14K on which I need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, but Windows key on the label is unreadable. Could I get a replacement for it?

  Also I can not read the HARD drive Windows code because it has been formatted before that I get this laptop in my hands...
  Maybe I can get either a phone number or e-mail address to a branch of Toshiba Polish, so I could communicate with them in this case?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't provide the keys to series for windows systems. On the label, you'll find the serial OEM key but this key cannot be used for activation of the system.
  Toshiba offers a clean recovery image that already contains the active Windows System.

  This recovery disk can be ordered here:

• Reinstall the new HD without key as the label is too worn to read

  I have an old Dell Inspiron n5010 laptop friends who has a bad replacement HD is easy (ha!) but the windows key on the back of the laptop was not under the battery and so is quite worn. The key to windows itself is unrecognizable however I can do a light code under the code high bar of the page (which is shown just below the word "DELL"). Is there any hope of trying to get Windows 7, working on a new HD for her or she would have cast? Second, it could get a CD to upgrade from windows 7 the school, but this would require windows must already be installed. She would be able to use the product key for the upgrade if a copy of windows is downloaded and burned to a dvd to use for the installation? Thank you!

  Option 1:

  If the product key is worn, then you need to do is request a manufacturer's recovery disc and allows to reinstall Windows 7. This relieves the need to use the product key:

  Ask Backup Discs for US customers only

  If this option is not available to you, then you will need to purchase a new license.
