Help to install Windows 8

Hello, my name is Pedro, from Portugal and would like an opinion about an activation/install Windows 8

I bought a HP laptop last year and changed the hard drive for a faster ssd, losing the preinstalled windows installation 8.

I know that the original key of Windows 8 is in the BIOS, so I downloaded a program to recover and continue to download the windows installer from the microsoft page 8.

My problem is when I try to activate my key at the beginning of installation BIOS it gives me the error: this product key cannot be used to install a version of windows 8.

No doubt im trying to use a version of windows bad for this key, so if anyone can point me to the right of an evil appreciate help.

Thanks in advance!

    I would try a Setup offline first before try something else.

    Somewhere during the download of WLE part, I have a suspicion

    as the files are to be damaged because of the speed, or lack of

    You can download and save setup proper, offline

    Hello

    1. dual Boot or new installation?

    2. you don't say what kind of Vista disk you use to install.

    3 have you checked on the HP website to see if these Comptuer models have Vista drivers available for their hardware?

    If there is no Vista drivers, you're wasting your time.

    Equip your computer model number, operating system for this information and see if there are troubleshooting steps for it.

  • I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded. Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?

    * Original title: Windows 10 disappointment

    Recently, I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded.  I gave up 10.  I would like to return to the Windows 7 desktop.  If I buy or buy this software, I guess I have to 'wipe' 10 of my machine?  Or I would just download 7 top?   What I have found online are instructions for people who have updated to 10 and want to revert to an earlier version of windows.  In my case, I never had an earlier version on the machine I have now.  Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?  Online, local dealer?  Thank you.

    If I were you, I call HP and tell them that you do not want this computer with Win10.  They are very likely still sells machines with Win7 for businesses, because most companies do not affect the Win10 with a 10 foot barge pole.

    Dell is selling them for sure.  I've been helping my clients by computers Dell Win7 for a very long time now and just had one on my desk a week ago.  Look at the range of Dell Vostro of computers.

    The trick is to approach Dell as a businessman, and not as a normal consumer.

  • Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

    I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

    I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
    Here are my system specs:


    Presentation of the material:

    Model name: MacBook Pro

    Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

    Processor name: Intel Core i7

    Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    Total number of cores: 2

    (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

    L3 Cache: 4 MB

    Memory: 8 GB

    Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

    Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

    Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

    What I tried (from what I remember):

    I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

    If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

    I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

    So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

    If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you

    If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

  • Need help with installing windows 7!

    So I decided to use the windows 7, 32-bit installation disk my father found in her room to install windows 7 on my pc. But I installed it and only 3.47 GB to 8 GB can be used. Since I use fairly heavy programs my computer isn't able to manage this [(fl studio, zbrush, divers jeux tels que bf3, bf1, etc..)] I have read and found that it is better to go with 64-bit, but I have no disk for 64-bit and am a little tight on money at the moment. Is there anyway to completely reinstall windows from 32 bit to 64 bit, or pass from 32 to 64 without an installation disk?

    Thanks for your help, a lot.

    Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

    You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, it takes a complete reinstallation

    If you have only the 32-bit disk is probably an OEM package as they were sold as specifically 32 or 64-bit, retail packaging had two discs.

    Follow the link Windows 7 here:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/help/15088/Windows-create-installation-media

    Enter your key when asked and see if you get offered the download 64-bit option.

    Keep in mind that, if this is an OEM license, if it was used you may experience activation problems. OEM licenses are valid only for the 1st computer, they are activated, they cannot be transferred to another computer.

    My question is, should I buy a new copy of windows 764 bit home premium.

    No, as long as you have a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, you can use the same product key that was used to activate the copy of 32-bit, you had installed.

    It is also possible to apply my series of Win7 Ultimate upgrade to an another Windows Installer or it will be related to my original OS install and only the 32-bit version?

    If the Express upgrade is planned for the Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate upgrade, this computer must also run Home Premium.

    I do not have 64-bit Windows 7 Home premium, just a 32-bit version OEM

    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:

  • Help to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 failure

    I have ben trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 for a week. I have a problem with my current hard drive and it cannot be repaired or cloned. I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 my DVD that I bought several years ago. I have a new SSD and a new HD. I tried to install both at different times, but I get the same results.

    Windows goes through the installation and on the very last step after that it starts and restarts once or twice then the screen goes black and nothing else happens.

    My SSD and HD are defined as AHCI in the BIOS. The first boot is the DVD. Even when I do a Windows format on both discs, I always get the same result. I installed windows of this DVD a few years on the drive that goes wrong. I have all the necessary information, but never asked to use it.

    Any help would be appreciated. I like to wait for Windows 10 which will be released but need to install an OS to work now.

    You seem to have more than one drive on your computer.

    Try to remove all the readers of storage unless the target drive where the operating system will be installed.

    Also try over the amount of RAM installed on a single key and try again.
