To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

• Reinstalling Windows 8 (or 10) after replacing the hard drive

  I need to replace the hard drive on my Inspiron 13-5323.  It came with the factory "injected" Windows 8 on the motherboard. Subsequently, I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows, then Windows 10.  With no Windows disk and no product key, how can I reinstall Windows on the new drive?

  The product key is embedded in the UEFI BIOS, it will automatically be entered with Windows 8.1 (with update 2 media) or Windows 10 TH2 installation media. Follow the instructions here to download and create a Bootable USB (for UEFI BIOS):

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about your hard drive problem and wanted to help.

  Let's start by defining some terms.

  When a disk 'crashed', it means a hardware failure, such that the disk cannot be read. You can not write on the disc or read him.  It can only be repaired by this disassembly and replacement of parts.  This must be done in a clean room environment and the cost to do that starts at $1000 USD.

  When a disc has "failed", this could mean practically anything.  In some cases, this means that the file system is damaged.  This may be due to the closure of the PC in the middle of a write operation, as when all of a sudden, you turn off your PC.  This can also be due to hardware problems as for lack of sectors.  In both cases, the drive is probably still usable, but in the second case, it won't be for long.

  So if HP Recovery runs, then it is not 'crashed', but he could have 'failed' - and in the latter case, if she fails to sectors, replace faster you it, the better.
  
  Good luck

• How can I reinstall Windows Defender on my laptop HP Vista 64-bit?

  Bots and a kind of virus/hacker got in and everything moving & ripped off many drivers needed for important security programs such as defender and Trend Micro Titanium, Ran Malwarebytes and Spy - bot Search & Destroy, but nothing came.  Responsible for Microsoft Security Essentials and who is working for a little time, and then when the computer restarts after updates through Windows Update, Security Essentials is disabled, just as the Defender is always, it seems!  When I try to start it (Yes, as an administrator!) until you get the error code: 0x800106ba and display hangs.  I try to save almost 4 000 photos stored on my laptop and transfer them to a new external hard drive, a few buddies very attentive gal of my friends bought for me (I'm home with AIDS and the very limited income, so it really sucks if I can't get my main source of social interaction, news) creative and well stuff even more upward and running the way it should have been when I bought 2 years ago!).
  I digress from the subject, sorry.  In any case, I downloaded the Defender, called Windows Installer: Defenderx64.msi Windows and when I run I get another error message that says that the Defender is already loaded and to reload I must uninstall Defender. and when I try to it says I can't because he shook in Vista, somehow and not repairable.  Please advise!  JSB

  You can not uninstall and reinstall defender in vista

  It is part of the vista operating system

  and only have AN antivirus installed

  more than one can cause system conflicts

  and most of the AVs disable defender

  read this information on the Defender:

  ·                         If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default

  the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender

  and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware

  It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do

  and read this information to microsoft:

  Error message when you run Windows Defender: «Error 0x800106ba»

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931849

  for malware problems, read this:

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

  If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.

• HP Pavilion 17-e119wm: reinstall Windows 10 operating system after replacing the hard drive

  Hello, I bought a laptop HP Pavilion year last for work or school. He perfectly managed until yesterday when it was freezing to close unexpectedly. Waited about half an hour to see if it would work himself, I had several programs running at the same time. With no results, I did a hard shut down and left for about two hours. Trying to turn it back on, I was stuck on the HP Home screen for almost an hour. I turned off the and tried again. Sometimes I would be stuck on the startup screen, and sometimes he would show that he was about to auto repair, then the screen turns off. In addition, the recovery menu of the system through the F11 key did not work, so I did a Quick Test of system and received a short Drive DST hard failure.
  
  I plan to buy a replacement HGST 5 K 1000 1 TB hard Drive from the manufacturer; However, my warranty expired last month, and I'm not sure how to reinstall the OS (installed with Windows 8.1 then upgraded to Windows 10 factory), once the new hard drive in place.
  
  I've never done a HP system recovery Image, and I'm low on funds, so I'm not able to contact HP directly. Help, please. I am a student and I work from home, so I am at a loss without my system.

  If you want to reinstall Windows 10, then this is the part the more easy and free.  I understand, completed after the upgrade to Windows 10, then you can clean install Windows 10 site M$.

  On a work computer, go to the WINDOWS 10 DOWNLOAD, scroll down to the purple 'Download tool now 64 Bit' click that to let do its thing.  On the next screen, choose 'Create the installation media for another PC', then what kind of media you want to use DVD or USB flash.  Once created, install Windows 10 on the PC in question - when everything that fact it is activated.

• How can I reset to factory settings if I formatted the hard drive?

  Hello, so long story short the two drives on my Alienware m17x r4 have been formatted (the 32 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB). What I didn't realize at the time, was that the image/factory settings are stored somewhere in there. So now, I wonder if I can get a picture of system to factory settings or if there is another way to return to the factory settings? Any help would be appreciated.

  I am running Windows 7 in addition, in the case where what matters.

  If you want to create an image of Win7 or Win8 factory restore use AlienRespawn (all that came pre-installed), you should do so before you installed Windows 10 (and/or your formatted disks). It must have been written to a flash drive and stored in a safe place (not hit).

  Re - install Windows 7 (or 8.1 is similar).
  en.Community.Dell.com/.../19376654

  If you need media of Windows OEM Dell-Alienware to clean-install of Windows, contact Dell.
  www.Dell.com/.../Media

  You can get Windows-10. ISO from Microsoft, or possibly Dell support downloads
  (for your specific Service of some machines label that comes with Win-10 preinstalled).

  My notes:

  Alien-Respawn is simply a version of the Alien on the theme of Dell backup and restore (DBaR)

  dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/.../Dell-Backup-and-Recovery

  It doesn't seem to work correctly under Windows-10.

  www.dell.com/.../EN

  You should now use Win - 10 backup Imaging or a third-party software such as Acronis and Macrium Reflect.

  Hello:

  If you are in a hurry and want to install W7 before your recovery disks are shipped to you, you can download the version of windows 7, which has been installed on your PC and is indicated on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC.  For example, if windows 7 Pro came with your laptop and is indicated on your COA sticker, you can download the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of windows 7 Pro in language comes with your PC, and use the 25-character product key on your COA to activate the software.

  You must use the language of the operating system that comes originally installed on the PC or the product key will not work.

  You will need a program capable of burning ISO to DVD files, burning, so that the DVD is bootable DVD.

  Then just go to the support for your laptop and driver page to download and install the drivers you need.

  Link to all versions of W7. These are real files to Microsoft.
