• How to reinstall windows 8 in new HARD drive using the old product key?

  Mr President.

  One of my clients purchased a new HP Envy 6 - 1150ex running integrated windows 8 64-bit a month ago. Unfortunately the HARD drive broke down by the improper use and must be replaced. I replaced the HARD drive, but I can't find the product key original of the laptop unless you have small windows on the laptop sticker. given that I don't have the recovery for the same model disk how can I install the genuine windows 8 manually by using the product key? where can I find the product key?  Please help me.

  Kind regards

  Yoyo

  Hello

  Should be no problem at all if you use the version of Windows 8 EVEN because the product key is now embedded in the BIOS of the machine. The process is to get the right installation of Windows 8 media (DVD, USB, downloaded file) and then install on your client computer. No label/sticker more for all new machines with Windows pre-installed 8.

  Please see the following link for more information.

• Pavilion p6230y: how to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive

  Hello

  Recently, I had a hard drive failure. The drive is about 7 years so I understand he lived a life busy for a long time, and I plan replace it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the recovery discs and I don't have a windows CD, because it is installed on the disk hard when I bought the computer. If I had to buy a new HARD drive, how would I reinstall Windows on it without re-purchase a copy? I was told there would be a product key on the chasis somewhere but I couldn't find the model and serial number for the bureau, nothing to do with Windows. I also searched HP website to see if I could order recovery disks, but this option is not visible anywhere. Help, please!

  Thank you, Alex.

  Alex, welcome to the forum.

  Unfortunately, because you did not the system recovery media when you bought the computer, you will need to buy a full copy of Windows 7.

  Here's a guide to help you try to order the HP discs.  However, I believe that it is very unlikely that they are always available from your computer is more than 7 years old.

• How to reinstall it on the new hard drive

  Inspiron One my 2330 client hard disk is dead. Obviously, it will not be a recovery partition on the new HARD drive that I installed. Because the Microsoft Windows 8 activation key is embedded in the BIOS, how will I be able to activate the operating system if I install a DVD if there is no recovery logic to tell the installation routine where the key?

  Thank you!

  The product key is embedded in the UEFI BIOS. It will be automatically entered 10 TH2 Windows installation media. If you are prompted for a product key however then you have used the wrong edition of the the Windows 10 TH2 so must use Windows 10 TH2 only language:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

  Note Microsoft indicated the end date for the free update is in ~ 3 days, you will need to clean install Windows 10 TH2 and activating online before this date.

• How to install windows on the new drive?

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3080, which came with Windows7. Now, I bought a 120 GB SSD. I tried to install Windows on the SSD by selecting Factory Reset. However, I get the message that the size of the hard drive has changed and that's why I can't use Factory Reset.

  Is there a way how can I use the Windows7 that came with my laptop and install this on my new drive!

  To my knowledge, I am not break everything right since Windows7 came with the laptop and was part of the price I paid for the laptop.

  Kind regards

  Hello:

  Partitions or recovery discs do not work on a smaller hard drive.

  You need to install a simplified version of windows 7 on your SSD. You will not break the laws or rules of license by using the product key on the bottom of the PC to activate the installation.

  However, if you can not read all 25 characters of the product key you are flat out of luck and will have to buy a new operating system.

  Here's how to make your own simple Windows 7 installation disc if you have not already.

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Satellite C660 - how to install Windows on the new drive?

  I have an old C660 of 14 months (2 months warranty!) and the HARD drive died quite suddenly.

  * 3 days works great
  * 2 days, got stuck at the "starting Windows".
  * Tried to fix with a System Repair (DVD) boot disk, but could not solve the problem (ran all night)
  * Start of DVD today and now the prompt of commands, each command "dir" on c: takes 20 seconds and try to copy files gives IO error.

  I'm going to buy a new HARD drive and install, but is there a way to get Windows 7 on the drive?
  There is no Windows disk supplied with the notebook... THERE is a recovery partition, but it died too.

  I don't want to buy a new copy of Windows when I already have a license.

  (I never have a backup complete incl. system, like the one and the only time that I tried to do that it was unable to complete the process, killing of many Virgin DVD-R in the process).
  I have most of my personal files backed up.

  Thank you

  The situation is quite clear. You don t have created the recovery disk and you have only two options now:
  (1) you can order the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install the original recovery image
  (2) you can get the original installation disc from Microsoft and install own OS

  In the first case, check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0202TA0000R01.htm

  If you take the decision to use option 2 Please note that your product key is useless and you have to pay for the new activation of license and the code. The sticker product key Microsoft belongs to the recovery image only.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Have to RMA my drive hard current (customized computer). Options for windows on the new drive?

  Hi everyone, I have my hard Western Digital RMA drive due to non repairable bad sectors. I currently have a version of windows upgrade 7 (I'm sure that my parents lost the activation key for > _ >) installed on the hard disk. Is it possible for me to transfer this Windows 7 nine hard disk? Or if I can't find the activation key to upgrade of version, can I install the previous version of windows 7 that I used before the upgrade, because I actually still have the product key for this copy. I wanted to understand this first before you begin the RMA process so I'm not stuck without an operating system once the replacement drive arrives. Thank you!

  If you do not have a license, you will need to buy a new one.

  If the license you say that you have is a retail license and did not come preinstalled on a computer or is not a version upgrade, you can use it. They must be of the same edition.

  Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of a partition

  It also came with instructions on how to burn this partition to a DVD
  so you wouldn't be up the Creek if your drive is dead. Who should have

  If you do not do this, contact Dell for assistance.

• Re: How to install Windows on the new Satellite Pro C50 8.1?

  I just bought a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C50, that came with Windows 7 pre-installed.

  When you start the system for the first time, I simply close and put Windows 8.1 media into the optical drive (disc 1 of 4) then entered the Recovery Wizard and may have chosen the wrong option, because I completely erase the hard drive and partitions.

  Now that I did it, I can't find how to install the Windows Media Pro 4 DVD provided 8.1. I can't find the correct option to do this. I changed the startup option in the control panel by pressing F2 at startup, so it reads from the DVD player. The DVD starts but then takes me into a recovery area of the system, which is not good as I wiped the system completely.

  How can I just now to install the Pro 8.1 provided Windows on the clean system right now?

  Thanks for any advice.

  First, I would like to know what model of laptop you have exactly. If possible, please report the entire model number (C50-xxxxx). I just want to check the specification for this model of laptop.

  Did you buy this laptop as any new product and model in box?

  Anyway, if you have installation discs original recovery for this, you should be able to install it without problems. Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. This menu wil shown on the screen, insert disc 1 into the optical disk drive, choose the CD/DVD drive from the menu, and then press ENTER.

  ODD must start reading Wizard disk / recovery will be shown o the screen. Choose the option to install out-of-box / factory settings and just follow menu on the screen.
