  • How do you get permission to reinstall windows 7 when the system hangs

    my computer with windows 7 64 bit freezes 4 minutes after fully charged.  I tried a lot of recommendations and have not solved the problem.

    I want to reinstall windows 7 from scratch (hugh reinstall bad) to see if that solves the problem.  Problem I used my license and will probably not be able to install again without help from Microsoft.  Can someone tell me how I can get authorization and any other information to be able to do it without buying another copy of windows program?  Thanks in advance.

    I got Windows 7 Starter pre-loaded in my hp netbook when I bought it, as I remember I have gave me a product key I can find now is no more. I accidentally uninstalled the Windows 7 starter pack and now don't know how to get it back. As I can not open my documents and I only have Notepad to work with. Without having to buy a pack, what can I do? How to re - install?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.
