Have CD Key but no idea what its for windows version.

Had a guy call me that's hard drive crashed on his laptop computer. HP laptop and came without OS disks. He could not remember which version of windows that he was using and he has rubbed off the label. The key is always visible, but I have no idea what version of windows to download. Is there a way I can find this license #?

    I'll have to trun my computer on and off for window at startup and then it stops a lot

    Hello

    Is there an error message? If so, what would you say? If this isn't the case, then you probably have a stop initiated by the hardware to prevent overheating damage to the system. If this is the case, can help clear the vents and intake fans / exhaust so that clean the dust bunnies (desktop systems). Also make sure that the CPU cooler is not clogged and that all fans are working properly. With laptops, a cooling pad can help.

  • I bought Acrobat Standard XI. He says its for Windows 7 or 8 platform. I just got a new computer. A Mac; that I can use on my mac? If not, can I get a discount because it is only a change of platform?

    I bought Acrobat Standard XI. He says its for Windows 7 or 8 platform. I just got a new computer. A Mac; that I can use on my mac? If not, can I get a discount because it is only a change of platform?

    Acrobat STD is not available for Mac, you can install only the Acrobat Pro version.  Platform swap option is not available in this case, the product itself is different.

    If its like version of Windows Acrobat pro, you can change it to Acrobat Pro Mac. But not Acrobat Std to Acrobat Pro.

    However, for any additional clarification, you can reach the Support from Adobe:

    I still have the original key, but the original disk is damaged. Where can I get a cd to reinstall my OS

    Do you know anyone else with a similar CD?
    Is what kind of CD? OEM recovery disk? OEM system disk? Retail disk?
    If your system is preinstalled, you may be able to get a new series of the manufacturer's recovery disks.

  • is it possible to download a copy or iso Windows xp pro? I have the key but broke my cd?

    I recently bought a new laptop and went to windows xp professional on this topic with my drive only to the find has been broken so now, I don't always have the key one no way to install so I was wondering if it was possible to get a clean iso image of microsoft or anywhere where I could then install and put my key in to save it? The laptop is new to me but too old to run windows 7 or windows 8 and no way to spend a penny on vista if anyone can help me?

    Hello

    There is no download of XP (iso or other format) that I know who are a) legal and b) trustworthy.

    The best thing you can do is to contact the manufacturer of your laptop for real recovery disks. Your laptop may even have a mechanism to burn these for yourself.
