How to replace installed counterfeit Windows 7 Ultimate with purchased Windows 7 Ultimate

When I bought a PC custom a year ago, it came pre-installed with Win7Ultimate. Now, I get a message 'not genuine' on the desktop. Sometimes I received a pop up box that says something in the sense of "can be counterfeit software use. I had problems with another program on this machine, that would not address the seller, so I do not know that the OS is hacked as well. I just purchased the complete program of Win7Ultimate by Amazon (sorry, MS, but they were $30 cheaper).  :-)

My question is: what I have to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system from the disk, or can I register/activate what is already installed but with my new product key?

I fear that the operating system will stop working altogether so really would like to get this beast "authentic" as soon as POSSIBLE. Thanks for any advice you have.

not really. usually takes an eye on the diagnostic report after installation

Here are some links you may have to look at.

    Hello

    I have a mini computer "Toshiba nb200-10z" and is no more startup.
    I would like to make a recovery, but it does not work.

    I know there's a shortcut like press 0 when the laptop starts.
    With this shortcut, you can start the recovery in order to reset the software.
    But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.

    So I think that the recovery disk/partition is lost.

    Thanks in advance!

    For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

    You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

  • HP 15-b102sp: defective drive, got a new. How can I install the Windows 8 without having to pay?

    So I got this product and after a drive of one and a half contained errors and had to replace it. Now I am fighting to reinstall windows 8! How can I do without having to buy Windows 8?

    In all likelihood, you have installed the wrong version of Windows that matches the key that was originally installed on your system.  Certainly he was not Pro but probably standard, Windows 8.1

    You can download here:

    If you are unable to install with the appropriate key, you will need to order recovery disks.  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the site around the world:

    1 license, 1 computer. If your current copy of Windows 7 is installed on another computer, you cannot transfer it to your Mac unless that remove you it from the current computer. There are also a full commercial license.

  • How to replace a new window tab of the start page of Mozilla Firefox and have the page with quick links to Web sites visited more come instead?

    I want my new tab page to have thumbnails of the sites I visit most. I can't find the way to do this. So I have Mozilla Firefox start page.

    You mean a new tab (Ctrl + t) and not a new window (Ctrl + n), right? You should be able to change this in Firefox on: preferences of configuration editor. Please note that add-ons can replace it, so if your change is taken into account, you should review your add-ons (extensions, including).

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter the desired value:

    (i) (default) Page thumbnails

    about:newtab
    

    (ii) Virgin tab

    about:blank
    

    (iii) integrated Firefox home page

    about:home
    

    (iv) any other page

    full URL to the page
    

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

  • How we replace 32-bit Firefox 3.6 with a 64-bit "current version"?

    Because my computer is a 64 bit system, I want to replace as many 32-bit and 64-bit compilations, as much software as I can, give up executables that can not be replaced.

    Assuming that Mozilla has released a compilation of 64-bit Firefox, how to identify it and get it?

    "Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe" tell me if it installs 32-bit or 64-bit instead. The automagic updates Firefox sometimes wants to replace the 32-bit version 3.6 with a 32-bit "current version" is not a real update to 3.6.

    One of the reasons that I kept running version 3.6, it is that there is no compelling reason to replace a 32-bit application that is installed with a few 'upgrade' in the same 32-bit application on this computer. In fact, if Mozilla down the tithe and a 64-bit compilation which is willing to maintain, I'll move the Chrome.

    Sorry, that Mozilla has not yet released a version of Windows 64 bit Firefox. And what I read on the 64 - bit versions tested in recent months, the current 32-bit versions of Firefox are faster.
