  Not the old computer came with Windows 7 pre-installed? If that were the case, you cannot use this old key on the new computer. OEM keys are not transferable, and you encounter the same problem you have now...

• Upgrade without the disks, have the key Code.

  I have a HDD partitioned on my Mac.  I put Windows 32 bit Vista on my score, but I want to upgrade to 7.  I already bought 7 but I do not have the discs at home, but I have the key code.  Anyway, I can go without disk?

  No, you need the Windows 7 upgrade DVD to upgrade Windows Vista.

• I have a valid product key Windows 7 - but no disc upgrade. Any options?

  Bought a client computer back.  Was able to restore the original Vista operating system.   I have a Win7 Home Premium COA key attached to the Tower, but no disc to complete the upgrade.

  Seems a waste of money to buy a package to upgrade when I already have the key.

  What are my options?

  HP 9517c desktop

  currently under Vista

  Thank you!!  Don

  If the key of Windows 7 is not an OEM key, it should require only a Windows 7 DVD for installation work and be legal.  See if you can borrow an installation DVD for someone who already has Windows 7.  Of course, the key will allow only Windows 7 Home Premium to install.  The DVD will ask if the installation is an upgrade or a full or custom installation (I forgot just how the question is asked) then simply use the key of the sticker.

• 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.

• I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS?

  I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS? It's

  an old computer, but it works very well.  I want to switch to XP using the Windows upgrade disc. But

  in the specifications it lists only 98, 98 Second and ME as an operating system you can upgrade.  Thanks John

  Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

  In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

  The disc you use must match your key - Type (OEM/retail) and Version (Home/Pro).

  If you have a retail license key, you need a retail license diskette.

  More common is to have a system OEM (Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.).  In this case, you will need an installation disc from the manufacturer of your computer to reinstall Windows (contact them).  In some cases, the Windows license is closed the BIOS installation media.

  Many newer computers include a "recovery Partition" that activate you by pressing a button shown in the first start screen when you start (usually called "System Recovery").  If this is your case, you will not need to install drive - just hit this key (quickly!) when the splash screen comes up

• I had a HP with XP Media Edition on this, got angry and destroyed someday drive hard, but always have the key, the key will work on another form of XP?

  As I said, I always have the key for it. But does not know if the key will work on just a normal copy of Windows XP? Also cannot find a download of XP? Guess that's what happens when you wait 17 years to ask about it.

  If your computer was HP and it came with this version of Windows installed, then you probably have an OEM of Windows version.  An OEM key does not work for a retail install the version of Windows.  To reinstall Windows without owning a set of install CD/DVD from HP, you will need to contact HP for help as they regulate the licenses Windows installed on their products.

  Hello Orwell,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  You have a Windows 7 installation disc?

  As you cannot start your computer at all, I suggest to run a Startup Repair to repair the damaged boot system files and try to boot into normal mode. See the section: How to use Startup Repair in the following link.

  Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

  If this does not help, try to boot from a disc to install Windows 7 on the Windows recovery environment mode and then try to run the Startup Repair tool and check if you are able to start normally with mouse and keyboard.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  The question may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged, or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows. This can also occur if your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.

  2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
  3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
  4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.

  Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

  If the problem persists, go to method 3.

  Method 3:

  This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.
