HP laptop and Vista OEM activation key
Hello. I just bought a laptop via ebay.
This computer is not equipped with recovery disks. This computer also has a 15 GB partion! to recover the th e pc if faliure.
The pc has Vista Basic on it and also a key drawback on COA
I already bought another version of vista (home premium) installed on another pc.
I want to ask.
Can I use my legitimate DVDs of Home premium and the computer CD key laptop cost to set up my machine? Is this legal?
Versions are 32 x. If I used from a friend another disc (x 64) is it legal too?
Thank you!
Your OEM product key will work with a Full Retail DVD Windows Vista, 32-bit or 64-bit Version.
It does not work with Vista Home Premium Upgrade DVD. Carey Frisch

10 Windows and BIOS OEM different keys product key
Recently, I upgraded my Lenovo Windows Windows 8.1 10 PC. For Windows PC 8.1 windows OS product key is embedded in the BIOS. After the upgrade the OS of Windows 10 of Windows 8.1, I compared the product key Windows 10 and BIOS OEM key and what I have discovered, is that the two are different. I expect that the two keys will be the same. Can someone tell me why the keys are different? What kind of question? Contact Microsoft for the same thing?
They must be different. You have upgraded a system 8.1 Windows system Windows 10. As part of this process, a new key for Windows 10 is generated and assigned to your system. This is as expected and by design. No need to contact Microsoft.

Compaq laptop and Vista disaster
I have a Compaq laptop (send me children) who had Windows Vista on it when we bought it. I dropped the computer recently and it is now fixed and asks me to reinstall Vista. I don't have Vista. What will happen to all my photos if I install Windows 98? Other options available?

If you could install 98 hard drive should be wiped clean of any
It would seem that you have a hardware problem
as to how much of the material we can not help you
If you is not damaged the hard drive and it is still running, you can try these 2 options
1. remove the hard drive and it slave in another computer
2 buy or borrow a USB disk drive hard put in yout case then plug it into another computer and read the hard drive

I replaced my motherboard with a new motherboard (third party) without realizing that Windows Vista will be invalid. I asked my dealer and he said I had to install the retail version of Windows Vista.
Where can I get a retail version of Windows Vista?
On the one where you are likely to get one of these days is eBay - and it's VERY risky, as most of the software there are counterfeit.
A better solution would be to buy a Win7 retail package and allows to update your system.
You should be able to buy as any reputable provider - once again, AVOID eBay and other websites selling at auction in line/flea market.

get a copy of Vista OEM or reinstall an ACER laptop.
I have a situation, where I'd like to perform a recovery on an ACER laptop to restore factory settings, however I have no CD to go with it. I have a long history here, perhaps someone more familiar with laptops and Vista installation can suggest where to begin the search, or the place where process? I am VERY familiar with the repair of Windows 95, 98, 2000, and XP is installed on desktop computers, but you don't master with Vista. I also have little experience with laptops and am not sure if the laptop has a recovery partition which can restore the factory settings or if it's just a thing of emergency repair, as my investigation into what was wrong with the laptop was a little weird. I'll do a post that is a bit of a long story, but it should show my process of thought as well as my skill level. I spent
A knowledge of my friends has recently undergone a crash of hard disk on his laptop computer, although he didn't know exactly what was the problem at the time. Fortunately there is nothing on the drive that does not saved except for the OS.
At first glance, it appeared that the hard drive was bad, and he went out and bought a new laptop. Outings, I was informed about this and they asked if I wanted this one for parts or to try to fix it if I could.
After receiving the laptop, I decided to check what was wrong. I tried to turn on immediately, before even to sort out the power cord, but nothing happened. He was dead. The laptop was unused for several days before being delivered to me. Thinking that was the problem, I have dispaired that I never changed a power supply in a laptop. However, for the heck of it, I plugged in the power cord and to my surprise, it started. This dead battery may be important later.
He has been starting some sort of partition repair which gave me access to repair system I since lost access to. The thing was, when I got to the screen that says "System Recovery Options" with the "motor load' and 'next' boxes at the bottom, no OS installs were neither were all partitions.
I got to the menu where it gave me options, with "command prompt" downstairs. I just assumed it was like the XP Recovery console and I tried to use it as such.
They gave me a "X:\windows\system32" prompt, which I thought was weird, because it's the X drive instead of drive C. The people in question can barely use a computer, so they would not have reassigned the drive letter.
I did dir c: and had an error on drive c. be corrupted. Also, I did a dir d: and get "file not found" that seemed weird. It turns out that the E drive was the dvd - rom, then I discovered. Other letters gave errors and invalid letters.
I decided to start with the basics, and I used the command chkdsk on drives C and D. To my surprise, that seemed to do the trick, and after restart I was taken in the Welcome screen.
Restart at first seemed to be a mistake, as I have since not managed to find a way to return to this menu of repair and subsequent attempts through the Vista Start menu (or whatever you call the menu that is displayed when hitting F8 these days.) Its name has changed between Windows 95 and xP) need the administrator password.
I was to call back them and get the password from them, and I'd have to try to use one of the solutions 'password lost admin, cannot connect', I didn't know if it would be a good idea on a potentially damaged system of mud autour with registry hacks.
At that time, it was late in the day and I had a few other things to do. I decided to start with Windows Defender antivirus scans and the tread Micro antivirus, that have been installed. He had a subscription to the microphone of the tread, so I connected the laptop to my programmer, updated definitions and performed a full scan.
The two negative came scans, with the exception of a few tracking cookies. At this point, it was late and I was tiered, so I all stop and went to bed. I had disconnected the laptop to my switch and it sat in my bedroom next to the bed.
Around 01:00 a.m., I was awakened by a strong and heard the WHIR of the laptop sounds beep. The computer had apparently turned on, but when I opened the file, the screen doesn't have to turn on. Think of some sort of virus or Trojan was at fault, since a disconnected laptop should be on NOT himself in the middle of the night, I hit the power button to turn it off, and he succeeded.
In the morning, I tried to install malwarebytes and run a scan and it found several things he called Trojan horses, as well as some adware. I removed it.
I have found it useful to keep on the laptop, and rather than to try to clean it up, I would like to reinstall from scratch.
I looked on the internet and found that most Acer laptops should have their accessible restore partitions by pressing control-f10 or alt + f10.
Here's the strange thing. I did, and it started working. However, I had a Windows XP startup screen and it says "Windows XP".
The laptop is running Vista Home Premium, and there a House premium sticker product key OEM on the bottom. If the recovery partition installed XP and asks me a product key XP, I'm GROUND.
I have an OEM copy of Vista, but it's for a 4200DX gateway. Somehow I doubt that it will help you for the upgrade of the Vista laptop. Any suggestions?
Jumped the gun in the abandonment of the XP, need it install Vista?
The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5570Z according to the engraving on the front.
On the back it says:
MFG. Date: 0706 Aspire 5570-2067
Yes, suggestions? I could try to clean install, but it is probably better to start from scratch. On the other hand, have XP is probably a better choice, because the laptop has only 1 GB of RAM. Possibility to choose, I would choose XP on 7 or Vistafor this computer, but which leaves me with the problem of a product key.
If the recovery partition is indeed a XP product key, is it possible that Microsoft would leave me to transfer the license from a dead Tower brand OEM copy of XP home to this laptop? I doubt that the key of this death dell sticker product could work on this laptop, but it would be worth it. I need a new key, and they could indicate the old key as invalid with Windows Genuine Advantage and refuse to turn it on.
Suggest that call you Acer to see if they can make any sense out of it.
Some restore partitions when launched as the emachines PC (I fixed in the last days) installed XP preactivated and no key was needed.
Never be afraid to ask. This forum has some of the best people in the world to help.

Hello
I recently installed Vista) for 2 days. Then I realized that I installed them since a updated disc that has problems with a lot of things, but they were successfully activated. The next day, I accidentally reinstalled Vista again this bad disc (I got confused... Sorry) and they activated.
Now, I found the good drive, checked in a VM to ensure it is correct , and I want to install it.
The problem is that I read on the internet that the OEM Activation keys have a limit on activations.
So, I'll be able to activate this copy, or I arrived at this limit?
, Note 1: Before doing anything, the PC is running Vista, which came preinstalledwith it
Note 2: The key is a key to Toshiba OEM
Thanks in advance for help ;)
Hello
The product key must belong to this machine, you cannot transfer Licenses OEM of one calculation to the other.
IF it is an OEM product key that is on the COA sticker on the underside of this Toshiba laptop that you reinstalled Vista on, phone Activation may be required.
If it does require phone activation, do not follow Demand of Auto, but brace yourself for a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup.

Activation key is invalid after reinstalling Windows 7?
So today, I traded one of the my laptop a new SSD HARD drives and do a clean installation of Windows by downloading an ISO clean, non-modified and write my activation key, and it installed fine, however, trying to turn it on, I get a message saying that my key is invalid for activation. Should I start my old HDD and first disable the original copy? Because I don't like * not to spend money on another key for this crap OS, especially given how much they cost generally.
the key to your report is an OEM SLP key. an OEM SLP key only works with the manufacturers recovery media.
You can use the key to your COST. -
Dear Toshiba
I bought a Toshiba laptop (with vista oem), and I installed another operating system then vista on it.
Now (as I bought it) Im asking an installation of vista Toshiba CD or
a downloadable CD image (.iso) I can write and use it later if I want to.I called the Toshiba locale support service and they told me, that I should somehow get a vista installation image,
and as I have a Vista tab at the bottom of my laptop it is perfectly legal.
As I refuse to fly or hijack the installation of vista on the internet image because I already bought,
IM asking installation OEM CD from Toshiba directly.Can someone tell me who should I connect directly?
PS: I have never installed or accepted the Vista license, so I accept a refund too. But I'd be happy with a
Legal OEM installation CD. Everything is easier to achieve.null
Hello
It's user forum and if you want official statement from Toshiba, then you are on the wrong place here. The declaration of support is somewhat strange and it won't work. If you want the official text, how it works, you can also contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.
They know for sure how it works.I know how it works too, but I'm afraid that you will not be satisfied with my answer, so I don't want to start writing anything. If you want to read it anyway please let me know or just check out the recovery on this forum category. You'll find a lot, but really a lot of discussions with exact explanation how it works.

Windows 7 does not have the activation key - has WORKED in THE PAST
A year or two ago, I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows 7. I bought Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade online. The activation key worked exactly as it is supposed to. A few months back, I had a hard drive crash. I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Vista then install Windows 7. Once more, everything works great. Key agreed without any problem. Then about a week and a half, I did an upgrade to my computer. New motherboard, CPU and power supply. I installed Vista on another hard disk, loaded the drivers of the new motherboard and CPU, then installed Windows 7. The activation key has been accepted (the same I use all along) and had no problems until tonight. I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, start and I get a window saying that my version of Windows is not registered and enter the activation key. This time IT would BE NPOT ACCEPT THE KEY what is CAME WITH MY INSTALLER DISK. 3 TIMES. What gives? # ! ? The dey was good a week ago and now it isn't? What has changed while I was out of town and my computer was closed. This looks like a problem with Microsovt and Windows 7. How to get Windows 7 activated as if it was 4 days ago?
Have you tried to restart by phone?
Activate Windows 7 manually:
1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 42. press enter on your keyboard
3. Select your country.
4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

After reinstalling Win 7 activation
I recently updated my motherboard and processor, and everything seems to work fine, until Windows failed to start correctly. I restored the computer to the factory, which was provided to me by some HP software. It was about a month ago. Now I'm told
