How do I reinstall Windows 7 Upgrade disk on the new hard drive

Hi all.
I had a hard drive crash on my Dell XPS420 who settled with Vista. I've upgraded to Windows 7 (from the offer of activation of 3 site) about 18 months ago. I am trying to buy a new hard drive and install Windows 7 onto the new drive. I only have 7 disc ultimate improvement. I don't have a Vista disc. What is my best course of action? Thanks in advance for the help & support.

If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Click on drive Options

Select the disc/s click on Delete

Click new

Click on apply

Click OK

Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

Click on properties

Scroll down to the Windows Activation

Click the link x days before activation.

Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

Enter the product key

Click next

Select the Activation of the phone

Click Next when you enter your key page

Select your country

Click Next, call the number listed

Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

Click next to complete the activation.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

    I'm scratching my head on this one.

    I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

    Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

    Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

    Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

    What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

    The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

    How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

    This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

    Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    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?

    Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  • Can't reinstall XP service pack 3 on the new hard drive, will not cross of EULA

    Computer VOstro 220 (Dell) under the age of 18 months. Internal HD died and was replaced two weeks ago with a HD internal 320, the speed of 7200 Western Digital. (Micro Center, a computer store large installed the HD that I bought at the store)

    Then I see the screen with the words "Windows Setup". Five minutes later, Microsoft EULA (end-user contract) is displayed.  IT does not scroll, I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to get at the end of the EULA was waiting for some kind of "type option"I agree". But there is nothing.

    Nothing more happens. No additional configuration.

  • Install Windows XP disc required for the new hard drive

    I bought an Inspiron 510 m new Dell laptop some time ago and am trying to install a new hard drive. However, even though I have the license key of Windows XP on the sticker on the laptop, I don't have a Windows XP installation CD - Dell would be please to send me an and let me know who I need to contact my details?

    Thank you very much

    Good news - I just called Dell who have been extremely helpful technical support. They had no problem talking to me and agreed to send me a replacement at a reasonable cost drive, and it seems they still distribute XP discs. Just thought I would post only in case it helps others in the same boat.

  • Restore Windows 8.1 without disks on the new hard drive on laptop Pavilion g6

    Hello world. First Post.

    I got task to restore the laptop to my brother after his hard drive gave the click of death, only 6 months out of warranty. I replaced the hard drive.  Fortunately all of its documents and photos have been copied on an external drive, but there is unfortunately no image of the system or the restore disc or disc to install Windows 8.

    Y at - it anywhere on the net where I can get an ISO image to burn a disc of installation of Windows 8 or can HP provide a preference restore disc to restore the laptop back to factory settings.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software.  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2. download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

  • How re - install windows 7 edition starter on the new hard drive in one aspire a D270 - 1806

    New on this site.

    I have an a D270 Aspire-1806.  I got the matrix of hard drive and no recovery disk was burned.  I replaced hard drive and need to find a clean Windows 7 Starter copy to install. I understand that I may use the same product key to check the impression to be installed.  I don't have a USB optical drive.  Is it possible to install from a USB flash drive? I have a fairly large [16 GB] flash drive (operating system must be the thing about flash player?) I can't seem to find the 7 starter version is...

    I've been at this for a few days now with little result.  Thanks in advance for the direction and help.

    Yet once, looks like a disk i/o error. Here's what I would do if I were in your shoes:

    (1) fix the WD to another computer with a box USB or SATA / USB and format it. Delete completely all the partitions on the disk in this way. Know what drive letter is assigned to it, run "cmd" and type "format D:" (without the quotes and this example assumes he has been attributed to the D drive letter).

    (2) if (1) completed, the installation and try again in the netbook. If this isn't the case, get a replacement drive.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize the new hard drive during installation

    My Pavilion hard drive died.  I ordered a new identical and it arises.  Windows 7 starts to load (since a key USB as my DVD died a long time ago) and gets it Windows on the screen asking me to select a player.  But there is no choice to drive in the menu and I can't go any further.  Is the new drive dead too?  Someone suggested that I need to reinstall a 'chip game' and if that's the problem, how to do that?  Thank you!!

    I'm glad that the hard drive is seen now.  To the extent where the DVD player, if you have purchased a new DVD player for the laptop, and you have it installed, then there is something else involved here.  In this MANUAL, it seems that it is just a simple operation change out.  Must be another reason it does not work or is recognized in the BIOS.

    If your system already has Windows installed and activated 10 follow my instructions here to directly download and reinstall clean Windows 10:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows-10/Windows-10-clean-reinstallation-via-bootable-USB-from-ISO/

    Looks like you're in this scenario.

    Note Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 editions are specific. If your system came with Windows 8.1/10 unilingual homepage, Windows 8.1/10 will not be activated.

    Unfortunately there is no clear marker for end users to determine the edition so my advise is to try first to try Windows 10 Home, if she does not activate Windows 10 unilingual homepage.

    Get a SSD for optimal performance.

    Dell have updated drivers for Windows 10 pilots (WT64a) system:

    See installing the driver recommended order:
