  Please note that the family pack is an upgrade.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Satellite L955-100 - HARD drive crash / no recovery disk

  Hi all

  I think I have a huge problem, so I would like your advice.
  Yesterday, my HARD drive crashed and a noise 'click of death '.

  My warranty has already expired, and of course I did not the recovery discs...

  I know that it was stupid to forget something, but even if I would like to ask you if you have another solution to my problem.

  Already, I thought about buying a new HARD drive, but then my problem is still not having access to my Windows 8 (which was on the recovery partition).

  Thanks in advance,

  Michel

  In my opinion, you should simply replace the HARD drive and need to use the recovery disk that you could order at Arvato Services
  The disc isn't expensive; round about 30

  Maybe you want to increase the performance of the computer laptop buying an SSD?
  The SSD is a bit more expensive that a common SATA HDD, but believe me: it will significantly increase the performance of the laptop

• Hard drive crashed after upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7

  * Original title: HARD drive Crash / Win7 for 10 Upgrade... bad timing!

  I have a PC running OEM Win7 x 64... just did the free update to Win10 a few days ago. HARD drive just crashed hard. I did an ISO when I upgraded to Win10. I'm trying now reinstall on another HARD drive... and no matter if I use Win7 OEM drive or ISO Win10 disc, it tells me that the activation code is invalid. I was under the impression that, as long as the mobo (and everything else except the HARD disk) is the same, Windows will allow you to reinstall with the key?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  After the upgrade to Windows 10, you cannot use your Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key.

  I have a dell vostro 1500 laptop, the hard drive crashed with vista home premium OS, I bought a new rank up and used a disc that came with a desktop vostro albums I bought, but this office came with Windows XP on it more with a WINDOWS 7 operating system... I used this drive to reformat the computer laptop vostro 1500 and now he tells me is not genuein, although I've never opened ti day untilt he I reformat the laptop.

  I did something illegal... Please exlain if did it.

  you use a key OEM SLP to win 7, which requires a bios compatible win 7 for activation of the auto. 20/06/2008 bios date is well before win 7 is out.

  you will need to buy a genuine windows or return to windows, your computer comes with that.

  OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  Hello:

  As the title says, I have recently updated my new hard drive, I got from Dell's Windows Vista Ultimate Edition of Windows 7 Professional. I don't have the product key for the Express upgrade, so I'm unable to activate my copy. The last time this was back in 2009 when I bought the Express upgrade, so I don't know what I did to fix this problem.

• I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7.

  I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7. I am also having a problem installing Adobe Flash player. It is said that API-MS-Win-Core-Registery-l1-1-0.dll is missing but I don't know what it is. Any suggestions?

  "Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.

  Try to upgrade manually:

  Task of pre-required

  When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

  then

  • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
  • Reboot several times, and then try again.
  • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
  • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
  • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
  • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
  • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
  • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
  • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  If the problem persists, try the upgrade manually, but choose the option to keep personal files only, you will have to reinstall applications.

• Reinstall Vista upgrade Express of Business to ultimate after hard drive crash

  When I bought my first computer at Dell, it had Windows Vista Business installed on the computer.  Shortly after the purchase, I bought an upgrade on Amazon.com to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.  I remember that when I upgraded, a file has been downloaded and executed on the computer that has provided the additional functionality of Vista Ultimate.  The file is stored in my service digital locker.  I think I have the product key that was used after the upgrade (it of in my notes, but does not match the original product code which is on the side of my computer).  In any case, the hard drive crashed and I reinstalled windows vista professional, on the recovery provided by Dell CD.  However, I can't seem to find a way to present a new request the ultimate improvement to the computer (it only gives me vista professional).  Now that the digital locker is gone, I can't recover this file and emails informing her service digital locker went went to an old email account I'm not "check very often (I located the email I was trying to research on mine)."

  Can someone provide me with instructions on how to apply a full new vista computer?  If I think I have the product key for the upgrade, is it possible for this punch in and extract the upgrade feature?  Thanks in advance!

  original title: crushed hard drive!

  Hello

  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 $

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

• HP Probook s 4530: HARD drive crashed - no possibility of recovery of windows 7

  Dear Sir

  A few weeks ago my hard drive crashed, it was not possible to repair the HARD disk, so I ordered a new HARD drive.

  I thought that I was able to download and install Windows 7 onto the new HARD drive with the product on the back of my laptop, but when I try to download it from the Microsoft Web site I get a message saying that there is a problem with the request for approval. In further research, this can only for commercial versions, not pre-installed versions.

  So, how can I get Windows 7 now on my laptop?

  Product: Laptop HP 4530 s

  Series: CNU1263BN9

  OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (x 64)

  If I need to provide more information please let me know.

  Kind regards
