How can I upgrade to Windows 7 without product key?
I received a laptop from a friend. Initially, she had vista but upgraded to windows 7. She gave me the original vista disc and disc upgrade.
Vist disc supplied with key-code. The disc of windows 7 did not come with or she can't find it. She wants me to clean the disc. Will I be able to reinstall windows 7, or will I need to go back to vista.
You can try a keyfinder program to extract the key from windows 7.

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 7 Professional. Used it on my PC and then I had to buy a new Dell computer, as my old PC blew the motherboard. The new Dell came with 8.1 if I want to install 7 on my wife's computer, as it did in Win98. When I did this it called my disabled factory or pirated disk. How can I take my PC off the product key and got my other PC for its use?
If Windows 7 Professional is pre-installed on your Dell computer, it cannot be transferred. If it is a license purchased at a retail store, he transfer rights.

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.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

and pls note the Microsoft label on my HP laptop is not clear now, (I can't read the windows vista serial #) so what can I do to keep the real window?Windows 8 is not production (finished; released as final product, etc.) yet.
As far as Windows 7 is concerned, you must manually (do not rely on any software, including any made by Microsoft) check your current hardware and installed software are compatible with Windows 7. follow these steps by making a list (model of the computer, each software package you have installed, the hardware you connect to the computer such as printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and check the manufacturer's web page to see if they support this product at this level of version in Windows 7. Chances are on your side, because it is a Vista machine.
Youd
would then buy a version of Windows 7, you can use to pass any specific edition of Vista you have and that you upgrade. It's quite simple initially, just insert the DVD and follow the directions. You will need to download and install the most recent hardware drivers for each component material (many that you can go to HP for via your model computer support web page, but your devices will be elsewhere...)

So I got this product and after a drive of one and a half contained errors and had to replace it. Now I am fighting to reinstall windows 8! How can I do without having to buy Windows 8?
In all likelihood, you have installed the wrong version of Windows that matches the key that was originally installed on your system. Certainly he was not Pro but probably standard, Windows 8.1
You can download here:
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/18309-Windows-8-Windows-8-1-ISO-download-create.html
If you are unable to install with the appropriate key, you will need to order recovery disks. If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks. Otherwise the site around the world:

It can be easily done by purchasing a version upgrade of Windows 7 retail box.

These packages contain a 32 and 64 bit version of the operating system.
The license may also be transferred to another PC who is eligible for an upgrade, unlike an OEM license.
The problem is having XP or Vista installed on the PC to use the disk.
