How to make the disc Bootable to Windows 8

Hello

I just bought a DELL Inspiron 17R laptop computer which came with Windows 8. I need to make a disk Bootable to Windows 8 so that I can install my old windows 7 first and dual boot Windows 8

I need Windows 7 very badly as my Unigraphics NX works on Windows 7

How can I do?

Is it possible to download windows 8? (As I already have a product key)

Thanks in advance

Hari

With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

I can do html individual pages for each entry notes that open in a new window, but I have no control over the size of the window or the presence of the address bar. and if there is a way of not having to a page for each set of notes, this would be ideal.

    Help, please.

    You are the very welcome.

    From any PC which is come with W8 or newer, there is no more stickers product key.

    Which was imposed in another attempt to reduce the illegal use of the product on the other PC OEM keys, which is a violation of the rules on the OEM licenses Microsoft PC manufacturers.

    The key that you received from the Belarc Advisor is one who is encrypted in the BIOS, and it is only good for your PC.

    The other problem is that the key cannot be used to activate a non - OEM version of W8.1.

    For example: you can download and make W8.1 installation of Microsoft support about the same way you just did to W10 installation media.

    The difference is the installation of W8.1 media that you downloaded will not work with OEM product key that you received from the Belarc Advisor.

    You need an OEM Setup disk to work with OEM product key.

    Personally, I think it's terrible, but that's what has Microsoft done.

    In other words, if your OEM recovery disks don't work, you are flat out of luck, unless you buy an OEM of Windows 8.1 version.

    32-bit to 64-bit is NOT an upgrade path.

    It must be done with a clean installation using a Vista FULL 64-bit disk/license.

    Buy a version of disk/license FULL Vista 64 bits of your local computer, or online store: amazon, newegg, etc.

  • How to make the icons of programs appears on the screen of windows 8

    Hi Thunderlight, you helped me with my last request and thank you again now I have another question that you might be able to help me with.  How to make the icons of programs appears on my screen of windows 8?  I had to download the debut8 when I had windows 8 so I would have the appearance of windows 7 until I have to use Windows 8.  And some of my icons of windows 7 on my windows 8, but not all.  How to go on my windows screen 8 tiles?   I now get more usage of windows 8 and use it more now so would like all my original programs that I had with windows 7 on my windows 8 as it is now tile.  I thank you and hope you can help.

    Hi Laura,

    In theory, when you switch from an earlier version of Windows to Windows 8 - as your installed applications are kept by the upgrade process, except those who are not compatible - you should find all your apps in Windows 8.

    If they all do not appear on your start screen follow these steps to pin them there:

    • [Win] + C
    • Search
    • Click anywhere in the top middle of the screen to hide the charm bar

    All installed applications are displayed. They do not necessarily correspond on a single screen to use the horizontal "lift" to bottom of the screen to move to the right / left

    • Right-click on an application, you want to pin to the start screen
    • Click on Pin to Start at the bottom left of the screen

    You are finished. A mosaic of this application is available on the start screen.

    If there is an application, you are sure is installed on your PC and you don't think through the steps made me know - there will be more complex...

    If you install a new application under Windows 8 the corresponding tile is automatically added to your start screen.

    Hope this helps

    See you soon

  • How to make a backup of my Windows Vista?

    Hello

    I think that it s a good idea to make a backup on your laptop.

    You have created the Toshiba recovery disks? When you bought a Toshiba laptop, you must create these disks. If you have a virus or something else with these discs, you can get the factory settings on your laptop.

    You can create discs with the Toshiba recovery disc creator and if you didn t again, you get the following message:

    > Important INFORMATION
    >
    > your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair
    > your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly
    > drive hard (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer"
    (> and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery for this purpose.

    > Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the
    > Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer
    > is seriously damaged

    So create one and if you need, you can get factory settings with Windows, drivers and tools in minutes.

    If you want to make a backup of your laptop with all the software that was installed by you, you must use programs such as Acronis True Image backup.
