HP-PAVILION: THE WARRANTY COVERS OS PRE-INSTALLED

Hello

My new system cam with Windows pre-installed 10. There was therefore no installation disc with the package. I have no backup of the OS. So if anyhing happens on my drive hard while the system is under warranty, they only replace the hard drive or they will install the windows 10 new OS for me? Also there is no product key came with my system. It's that something provided with electronic key digital which I'm not sure. But the Windows is activated. So, if I upgrade RAM, anything happens to my Windows Activation?

Thanks in advance,

> (i) how to check if the recovery partition is windows 8 or 10.

My guess is 'Windows 8 '.

How to confirm:

1. buy a disk from Seagate or Western Digital drive.

2. use the software these manufacturers provide for "clone" of the original drive to the new drive.

3. attach the clone to another computer, as a 'slave' hard drive.

4 remove all content the largest partition (the one that contains Windows 10).

5 detach the clone disk.

6 detach your original disks from your computer and place it nearby, carefully and described as 'original. '

7. fix the clone disk.

8 start since this recovery partition

9. what operating system offer to install?

10 remove the clone disk.

11 reattach the original drive.

Or, perhaps, to look at the time stamp on the files in the recovery partition.

If it is Windows 8, the 'average' age of files will be much older than if it was Windows 10.

> partition (ii) the recovery seems to be total about 16GB, but the files inside it are only about 600 MB of total.

There are a lot of 'hidden' files which is not included in this total of 600 MB.

In addition, based on the geometry of your hard-drive, 16 GB is probably the smallest 'slice' that can be allocated.

> (iii) if possible pls tell me the steps to create a windows 10 recovery partition.

    If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

    If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • The warranty covers this anomaly?

    Hi, I have a laptop, a toshiba to be precise.

    In any case, I have a touch pad mouse clicky keys and embedded in my laptop. Recently, my left click fell into the computer laptop a little and slides around a lot. It still clicks and works correctly, but this is the the most annoying thing imaginable. In any case, I would like to know if this is covered by the standard warranty or scope given after the purchase of the laptop.

    I have a feature of warranty service

    Hallo Alex

    In my opinion, you should speak with the nearest authorized maintainer and explain the situation.
    It's user forum, and we can speculate here these things here. You need the first hand information.
    I do not understand why you think you have to send the laptop. Talking with the guys of services at first and explain the situation. They will tell you what we can do about it.
    In my opinion any hardware failure is covered by the warranty.

  • All new Yoga 2 Pro 13 order to ship through the yellow color correction pre-installed?

    I am excited about buying this machine as soon as POSSIBLE, but this problem is important to me. I wonder if I have to install the fix myself, or new commands should work out of the box.

    It is also mandatory for me that it will work with GNU + Linux like Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu distributions. If yellow color correction out of the box, I need to know that once the fix is applied, it will take during the upgrade of a free operating system.

    Yes, thank you!

    I also called lenovo and they said that the new deliveries would come with the pre-installed fix

  • The bluetooth software is pre-installed, but not Bluetooth on Satellite A100

    Boxing-today, I bought an A100-TA7 with all kinds of software installed Bluetooth (bluetooth and bluetooth stack etc..)
    I tried to upload a picture of my Sony W580 phone but the phone could not find the Bluetooth.
    I went through the wizards, but nothing happened.

    Is my A100 has bluetooth?
    If not, then why the software is reinstalled?
    Also, what is the difference betwwen just Bluetooth and battery Bluetooth?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The easiest way to check if the device has BT or not is to see the underside of your laptop. Each unit with a label of BT BT module. More info on which you can find under http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/ > s FAQ > why Bluetooth is not working?

    Why is the software installed? The answer is quite simple. In each series of laptop there are a lot of different hardware configurations and some series have over 100 different laptops, in particular a series. Here in Europe, we have books from A100-100 to A100-980. There are a lot of units, and it is not possible to create a recovery CD for each unique laptop model.

    Because of this Toshiba to create a sort of standard installations CD that can be used on many models. If your unit doesn't have BT you can simply remove the preinstalled applications.

  • Qosmio X 500-point red on the screen covered by the warranty?

    I'm from Europe, from Portugal to be thorough and I bougth this Qosmio X 500 - 13V in 14/02/2011. It is in warranty, of course.

    Help someone.

    Hi Marco_3,

    I guess this dot what you want to say it's a pixel dead, right?

  • Wear of keyboard is covered by the warranty?

    My w520 wear letter keyboard, some letters are worn or partially worn (white print on the keys).

    I'm in third year of ownership. I didn't intend to keep for a long time, but I find the 'good old' so hard to share with of 7row keyboard.

    I must say also that have more old thinkpad (x 40, 60 x) used and abused again with all the keys like new after 6 years

    I've heard that some people in the United States has obtained new keyboards under warranty on their w5xx, free of charge, and no need to send the thinkpad.

    Just called my local support from Lenovo (Italy)...

    They said that the main doors labels are normal wear and tear and which was not covered by the warranty.

    If I want a new keyboard, I must pay, still under warranty.

    (Also they told me also that here we don't send you a box to deposit in the thinkpad, but it is the owner who must a generic box itself to source and wrap the thinkpad, they send just the mail.) )

    Do you have an experience about it? (labels/new keyboard keyboard under warranty?)

    If your keyboard is just worn out, the warranty covers the replacement.

    However, if certain keys or mouse buttons stopped responding, it would be a different story. Then you would have the right to call and ask for a replacement keyboard.

    I just replace the keyboard on my X220T on my own dime due to several keys very worn - and Yes, the machine is still under warranty.

    Good luck.

  • Need a product key to activate Windows 8 pre-installed on the Samsung laptop

    I bought the laptop samsung a year ago, in which Windows 8 was preinstalled.

    Now my it requires a product key to activate my windows.

    Where can I find?

    Please help me.

    Hello

    You don't tell us the circumstances in which she asks for the PK.

    Pre-installed with Windows 8/8.1 the product key on the operating systems (HP, Acer, etc.) is integrated in the motherboard BIOS, so that the problem of sticker joint record lost or worn out is no more.

    If you reinstall it must pick up the product key and activate the system automatically.

    I suggest that you follow these steps, and brace yourself for a real person explain to the:

  • Pavillion M4-1006tx: 10 Windows reset on a laptop pre-installed Windows 8

    Hello

    M4-1006tx Pavilion my laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8. I have upgraded to Windows 10 last July and now I would like to reset this installation of WIndows 10. I discovered that there are 2 methods to do a reset:

    1. in the "settings" inside Windows 10 frame and choose the reset option

    2. thanks to the recovery of the system (F11).

    If I choose to reset through F11, it will install Windows back 8 or 10 Windows instead? As it happens with Windows pre-installed 8.

    And if I choose to reset settings of Windows 10, will it suffer no problem at reset?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    To answer your questions in order:

    1. the option reset under will reinstall Windows 10 - it is impossible to say if you would run in any problems using this method, but it still does not work for everyone.

    2. the option to access the Recovery Manager via F11 at startup would normally be to reinstall the original operating system (Windows 8), but it will not work now as a upgrade to Windows 10 breaks this feature - if you want to reinstall Windows 8, you must use the recovery media (disk or flash drive) that you created when you bought first Notepad - a guide on the reinstallation of Windows 8 of the recovery media can be found on the following link.

    Performing a HP System Recovery - Windows 8

    3. Fortunately, there is also an option at your disposal 3.  As long as the current installation of Windows 10 has activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation of Windows 10 as stated in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

    Hi, Bo:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04402649.PDF

    The memory of the removal and replacement procedures are provided in Chapter 6.

    It is not a do it yourself task and would in fact void the warranty if you have installed the memory yourself and that the PC had a problem later.

  • Recover Windows 7 pre-installed license key

    Hello.

    I recently bought a laptop (dell e6410) second hand. Operating system has not been installed, and there is no sticker on the laptop (or underneath the battery) on the windows.  I would like to know if the laptop had a pre-installed operating system, and if so, could I get the license that it came with it? I don't have any what recovery DVDs, and there is also no recovery partition.

    As I read on the Internet, it could be that the license key is related somehow to the BIOS to keep the license attached to only the computer for which it was intended.

    Thank you.

    Hmm... This part of the sentence "buyer beware" comes to mind.  If it does not have the sticker of license on this subject, it does not have a legitimate operating system.  Even if you get a valid license running Belarc or Magic Jelly Bean key, there is no way to know whence this key.

    Key is not in the BIOS under Windows 7 (only 8), but the Dell installation media check the BIOS to make sure it's a Dell, it can install and activate, but without a sticker key license, which is not legitimate either.
