How to reinstall Windows 8 after a system restore

I did a system restore on my laptop on the advice of a computer repairman to solve another problem and now I can't reinstall Windows 8. I can't go through the automatic setting u because I have my product key, so the PIN will not work. I tried to use the http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only link, but he told me that the product key was not correct. I don't know how to proceed. Someone at - it answers?

It turns, I was just confused and was actually trying to download Windows Office, I've managed to do quite easily, but thanks anyway.

The Toshiba Recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings, which means that you will have the factory settings on the new HARD drive after the use of the disc. You must boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  • G570 - How to reinstall Windows 7 after replacing a hard drive that crashed?

    Hi all

    I have a Lenovo G 570 and was very happy with it. Unfortunately, I had a hard drive crash (totally my bad, I dropped the laptop on the floor).

    In any case I had to change my drive hard because I got this message: "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key any." I have always this message with the new hard drive which makes sense since I have to reinstall Windows 7, but the problem is that I don't have a sticker with the product key

    Does this mean that the Windows product key is in the Bios? How can I get? Contact Lenovo to get a new product key and pay for it?

    A big thank you to the person who will be able to help me with this, can not wait to start to use my Lenovo again.

  • How to reinstall windows 8 after downgrading to windows 7 Windows 8 without installation disk

    Well im in a bit of a pickle, you could say. I have downloaded Windows 8 Pro using the upgrade wizard, but hit a few speed bumps. He ceased to recognize all the mice that I own and I could not uninstall and reinstall I downloaded digitally, and did not have a physical copy so I kept getting an error message telling me to insert installation disk and then try again. I had to format and then clone my old HDD to get my pc working again. Unfortunately there is no way to downlading Windows 8 without having to pay again for it which seems silly. I'm very tempted to find illicit ways of downlading what I have now lost $39,95 on something I can't redownload and install. I have a valid product key, but I had formatted my HARD drive without removing the key first I don't think it is no longer valid :(

    Little help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Reactivation after a system restore

    After having accidentally deleted some files, I finished a system restore on my work computer. When I restarted the computer and tried to get into Photoshop CS, I was told 'the configuration of your computer seems to have changed since the time that this product has been activated. To continue using this product, please click OK to activate it again to your new system setup, or click Cancel to exit. »

    After clicking OK, I was given the option on the pop-up Activation Adobe to reagent on the Internet (which did not work because the 'activation system is not available at this time.") Then I tried by phone via the activation of automated software system. This gave me a phone number, my serial number, Activation # and Type of Activation and a place to enter the authorization Code provided by Adobe (not YET RECEIVED).

    I called, entered all information requested several times and each time they refused my activation and tried to connect with a Customer Service representative. At that time, a record came the saying that is no longer, they help with the problems of activation by telephone and sent me to a section of the Web site that is not useful either. (www.adobe.com/go/activation). This referred me to the "still need help? Contact us: ("link to the Chat service.

    I used the Chat service for "Devika" questions on this issue and received no help. They told me if I would like a phone number for technical issues, I have to pay if they solved my problem. Otherwise, she directed me to search the forums.

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

    How to reinstall Windows 8

    You have two options:

    If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

    Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

    Option 2:

    If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

    Option 3:

    A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

    See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:

    XP Home Security 2012 seems to have accessed or modified some files to DropBox (not sure how this program was installed, but it was already on).

    Should I delete all DropBox files, just those showing a modification date corresponding to the intrusion of XP Home Security 2012, or don't you worry about this?

    System Restore IS NOT the way to remove malware. The reason why you do not see the effects of the malware in safe mode is probably due to the fact that the process for most malware does not load in safe mode, and therefore not active.

    Restart the computer in Safe Mode with network. Click HERE. Download Malwarebytes. Update Malwarebytes and perform a full scan.  Choose to quarantine found nothing. Once completed click HERE and download Superantispyware Portable. Run a full scan quarantined found anything yet. Restart your computer in normal mode and perform a quick scan with Malwarebytes.
