  Your computer may have a recovery partition which is accessible when you first start the computer (usually by typing the key F9 several times will begin the recovery process).

  This will reinstall Windows back to the point when you received everything first, therfore backup important data files (Documents, photos, music, etc.) on external before starting. Be prepaired to reinstall all the software can also be purchased and installed (rounding up of multimedia installation and product key codes).

• How can I re - install Windows on my DM1Z?

  Hello

  I recently bought a DM1Z with AMD E350. I like the laptop, but it came pre-loaded with a ton of software that I do not use and, frankly, don't like.

  Microsoft Office 2010 starter, Norton and about a dozen HP tools.

  I long for the day when the PC manufacturer will be available PCs totally clean, or with a simple installation of Windows, if they really and THEN give users a list of tools that can be installed.

  Anyway, how can I reinstall the OS, so that I can skip all (or almost) the extras?

  Apart from the fact that the DM1Z doesn't have a CD/DVD player, I didn't have any software in the box.

  Here I have a collection folder in the D: drive, but I can't access the contents via windows Explorer.

  Thank you

  Which can be verified in turn the computer laptop and typing on the F11 key to call the HP Recovery Manager.

• I am using windows 7 home basic 32 bit.i bought the copy under license in August 2012.how can I put my windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit? Wat is the cost?

  I use genuine windows 7 home basic 32-bit.

  I bought the copy under license in August 2012.
  How can I update my windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit?
  or can I put windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit windows 8?
  Wat is the procedure & fees for it?
  pls show me the right way.
  thanx

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  For a DVD that contains all the flavors of 32-bit and a DVD that contains all the flavors of 64-bit Windows 7: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate see here.

  If your copy of Windows is preinstalled on a computer, it's an OEM copy - and the license CANNOT be transferred to another computer.

  Nobody don't keep records of this license has been actviated by which - above all, Microsoft. Data for registration and Activation are stored on separate servers and correlate precisely for this reason.

• How can I re - install Windows Vista without the media?

  machine will not start in vista

  I have a gateway W34DUA with windows vista it will not load vista how do you get the thing to reinstall without a disk I'm thinking it was pre loaded

  or can I get a disc and use the product key from the back and reinstall?

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  "Full factory recovery"

  http://support.gateway.com/s/software/Microsof/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  I downloaded widows 8 two weeks ago and, even if I like it, I found that it is not compatible with my Sony VAIO 3 year one-piece desktop computer because it windows * does not download some drivers like the built-in webcam and microphone.

  I need to re install Windows 7 Home Premium for which I bought through for download on the Microsoft Store in the United Kingdom. I have a product key and the purchase of reception ect. How I can do what I've searched and searched and cannot find any where on the internet that shows me how to do this. I would appreciate your advice and help, and more important again some instructions.

  When double boot with older versions of Windows, you must install the older version of Windows first (in this case Windows 7) on the boot drive. Create a partition, and then install Windows 8.

  Another thing, you would need a full version of Windows 8, Windows Pro 8 is an upgrade and you used to update the license of Windows 7 Home Premium eligible you want because you would be in non-compliance.

  Buy a full version of Windows 8

  If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information.
