HAVE WINDOWS 7 PRO BUT LOST CD
Lost CD I bought with my computer. My computer has been altered. The it Department had only Windows 7 Home version. I don't have the product key for the operating system Windows 7 Professional. Microsoft could help me restore the OS Windows7Pro or the company where I bought this computer? Can I get Windows Pro OS 10 once the product key is retrieved?
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

I have Windows XP Pro. and lose the connection with my printer (HP Officejet 6500 and I was told that I had to upgrade to Windows 7) Can I upgrade to Windows 7 without having to first install Vista?
I have Windows XP Pro. and lose the connection with my printer (HP Officejet 6500 and I was told that I had to upgrade to Windows 7) Can I upgrade to Windows 7 without having to first install Vista?
You can - clean installation however. No direct path from Windows XP to Windows 7.
If the machine is old, but - I wouldn't bother. You will end up by it hate because it is slow and probably blame the operating system.
The upgrade to Windows 7 is not a solution for the loss of connectivity to a printer - not a logic.
Is what SPECIFIC printer this?
HP Officejet 6500 has e-all-in-One Printer series - E710HP Officejet 6500 All - in - One Printer series - E709If you download and install the latest appropriate WIndows XP complete software driver for your printer and maybe upgrade the firmware of the printer itself-, it would probably solve your problem. If you use it as a wireless printer (it is printed through your network, but not connected by a cable [ethernet]) so you can check for updgrades to the firmware of your router (level) and reconfigure your network completely wireless if you start with a good foundation.

I have windows xp pro. whenever I try to minimize all the windows they don't show in my taskbar.
You have only one monitor and your system is configured to use a single monitor?
This can occur if you have several configured monitors and one of them are not connected or are turned off that you can't see reduced tasks.
Whatever it is, you should be able to see a task enlarged, restored or minimized (unless the application has been configured to hide the task in the task bar).

have a product code but lost serial number
Unfortunately, the serial number is essential to be able to use the software. Without it you have nothing that links the software for you as an owner... therefore, it is always best to save your software (software).
The only other thing I can offer is to direct you to information to find your serial number. If tram you have all that then listed you are probably out of luck in obtaining other assistance in the forums. Adobe support (chat or by telephone) will be your only hope.

Hello. Not sure if this is the right place for the post, but im pulling my hair out.
I got a copy of Windows XP PRO SP3 OEM for awhile. The installation disc is damaged and was unusable. I have a legitimate product key which is connected to the computer.
Is there anywhere I can buy or order a replacement CD-ROM.
I can't find a copy of this disc anywhere. On the COA, proof of license number is x 14-01711. I looked up and down and still no luck.
I got a Windows XP Pro SP3 .sdc, but the license key is not accepted during the installation.
Thanks for your time.
