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 I have a valid product key, but I had formatted my HARD drive without removing the key first I don't think it is no longer valid :(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!

  • How to reinstall Windows XP without formatting my HARD drive?

    Hello
    Firstly, sorry if there are a lot of typos in my post but I did not often speak (write) English...
    I have a big problem and I would like to reinstall windows XP, but I don't want to format my HD.
    When I was with Win98, I had to insert the boot disk and the Windows 98 CD and I could just reinstall windows 98!
    With the Cd rescued provide my computer (Satellite A80) I can format my HD and install windows XP. Is there a solution to reinstall all windows Xp and keep the other file?

    Hello

    Well, I recommend to create a second partition on the HARD drive. There you can reinstall you new version of Windows XP.
    If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery CD, you must use the Expert mode to recover the operating system, because there you can choose the partition.

    Please check the Toshiba FAQS on this topic:

  • Reinstall Windows 7/creating installation disk

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 installed on my Dell laptop. It came with W7 installed and not bundled with backup/install discs. I have since reinstalled Windows 7 using a Dell Windows 7 DVD friends, whom he had delivered with a Dell PC. Everything went well and I could reinstall, get my drivers etc is no problem, but I don't have my Dell backup partition.
    However, I would now like to reinstall Windows again. I'll be down the DVD my friend again and use it.
    However, I would like to know some things.
    Can I create an ISO of the disc and burn on my own DVDs? so I won't ask the DVD if I decide I want to install again.
    If not, is anyway that I can get a copy of Windows 7 for my personal use? I have my Windows 7 license key, and it is a true copy, from Dell.
    Thank you.

    You must read the license agreement for Microsoft and Dell to make copies. Most allow to create an extra copy for personal use.

  • How install to reinstall Windows Vista without a disk on Ubuntu Linux (although I have a valid product key)?

    I have an Acer Aspire 3100 computer laptop comes with Windows Vista, I am not on the number of bits, sure that the processor in this system supports 64-bit operating systems. I was curious to know if there was a way for me to download Windows Vista from Microsoft online and burn it to a CD or a DVD if I have a valid product key supplied with the system. Is it possible to do this? Thank you.

    You can not download Vista.

    In this case, you may be able to buy Acer recovery disks, if you have not created some when you first the computer.

    If you can borrow a Vista DVD (a copy retail, not supplied by manufacturer), you can reinstall since using your product key.

  • Qosmio G20 - how to reinstall Windows XP without the recovery DVDs?

    I am trying to install windows XP on the laptop. I bought the Qosmio without the reinstallation cd. It has no operating system installed on the hard drive at all. Everything is OK, until he asks for raid drivers, then he said: put the disc in the drive "a". There is no player on the G20.
    I need to buy a USB floppy to do this, or someone has solutions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    As you know already some units Qosmio supports RAID function.
    If you want to install the OS from Windows, you must first install the RAID driver.
    The RAID driver you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

    You have three options:

    1. you will first install the driver disk RAID, and then you could install the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows.

    2. you create a Windows clean boot CD with application called nLite (as mentioned above)
    This application allows you to create the CD of the Windows operating system with additional drivers as RAID

    3. buy the original recovery CD Toshiba with the Toshiba service partner in your country

    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:

    (references Windows 7, but the same principles apply to Windows 8).
