• How to install Windows 7, when I don't have an installation disc?

  My lap top was installed with windows 7 when buying, but I did have all the disks with it, but now 2 years later I had to have the hard drive replaced but I don't have the disc of windows 7, but I still have my code to use how to get windows 7 new?

  You have been given some discs but you have invited to MAKE the RECOVERY PARTITION recovery disks...

  You will need the code key on the COA sticker that is on the basis of your machine, or perhaps in the battery compartment.

  Also, make a note of the version of Windows 7...

  Download the version that matches your COA sticker...

  Note that these are the generic ISO and will not include the of the manufacturer specific drivers for your machine.

  You will need to go to the computer manufacturer support website and install readers device starting with the chipset driver and working from there.

  Do NOT accept the drivers from Windows Update...

• How can I reinstall windows vista, when I don't have the disc to ony my license on the side of the computer key

  I need to make an own reformatting and installing windows Vista on my Dell Inspiron C521 pc.  Restore dell to original factory option does not work.  Windows has no option to create a recovery disc - am unble to locate the recdisc.exe and possess no original discs as windows came pre-installed, when I brought the machine license key only 25 digits

  You call Dell Support and request a set of recovery disks. The cost is minmal and worth it.

  http://support.Dell.com/

  Also, ask to speak to a technician. See if the technology can teach you how to access the recovery Partition.

  Del has installed the partition, they know how to use it.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  I bought a laptop with a windows xp pro, I have the serial number, but I don't have the installation disc. How can I know which version I need? SP3 has not worked... at the moment I am testing SP1

  The serial number of the computer has nothing to do with the product key for Windows.

  What happened when you tried to install Xp with sp3? If you do not have the original for the computer that you use to install Windows?

  You can try to contact the manufacturer of the computer who may be able to provide the recovery disc. The disks are usually under $ 20.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hello Maggie,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  I also appreciate the fact that you want to install Windows on a new hard drive.

  You can install Windows using the steps described in this article and check if it helps.

  You can create the media to install Windows from this link:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

  I hope that you have the Windows product key for activation .

  Important notes:
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I recommend strongly to backup all your important files and folders on an external storage device before performing any type of OS, repair, upgrade or clean install.

  I hope this information helps.

• I recently installed Windows 7 32-bit on a PC. It won't start I don't have the installation disc in the drive. Why?

  It is a legitimate Windows 7 PRO 32-bit installation disk with a single certificate. It is activated when I installed so nothing wrong with that.

  I did a clean install and all updates from end to end so that the disc remained in the disk... so I don't think about her. After it has been completely updated and I did I pulled out the disc so that it wouldn't get damaged or stuck when I moved the tower. When I brought the computer to my friend, it wouldn't start. The PC said something to the effect of the DISKETTE of STARTING NO. REPLACE AND STRIKE ANY KEY TO CONTINUE. (This is not verbatim).

  After playing with him for a few minutes, I had a thought... I put in the installation CD and allowed him to go beyond the option 'PRESS ANY KEY to BOOT FROM CD or DVD... "and it booted right up!

  I've tested this with multiple configurations of BIOS - and even going up to strip the PC down to a hard drive, CD drive and any connected external - and this IS the reason why it does not start.

  Why do I need the disc in the boot drive to a VALID and INSTALLED Windows 7 version?
