I am buying a new computer without an operating system installed and you want to know if my Windows 7 Upgrade disk can be used to install Windows 7?
I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.
Short answer 'NO '.
Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

If the 32-bit Windows 7 is pre-installed on the old computer, it's where it should stay.
A 32-bit operating system has no place on a 64-bit, 8 GB computer because it will not be able to use all of the RAM. You would get 3.5 GB can be used a total of 8 GB...

Reinstall WIN XP SP3 to new computer with no operating system
I would like to move my WIN XP SP3 old laptop with no operating system
Thank you
Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site
and search for the Windows XP drivers for your specific computer or motherboard model number.If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and burn it to a CD/DVD.
Then, after installing XP on your new computer install all device drivers, starting with the mother/chipset, LAN, Audio, USB, SATA card, drivers, and so on.Notes:
If there is no XP driver not listed that your computer is not compatible Windows XP.
You must uninstall the old computer XP, if you plan to use the same XP product key.
List of computer manufacturer support sites:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/contact-support/computer-manufacturersIf you have an Intel motherboard, you can try the Intel driver update utility: http://www.intel.com/support/detect.htm?iid=dc_iduu
Graphics/video drivers:
Check the download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the newer Windows XP drivers for your card.

Need help installing Windows on a computer without an operating system.
Original title: computer wiped.
Hi there I got an old computer at school (rm1) he was completely wiped out and needs to be rebuilt. I just need to buy and put windows? Or is there anything else to do?
Hello
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.If it's a look OEM type (such as HP, Dell, Acer, etc) for the certificate of the label of authenticity (COA) anywhere on your body. If you can find the label, look for the version of Windows and the edition, and in this case, you can use the key to activate Windows of the same version and edition. But if you want to go for any advanced version than the one mentioned, you can buy a new copy. You can use the respective version and edition of Windows disk from a friend to activate using the key of COA. -

Laptop computer without an operating system
Hello!
I have a problem with my laptop. He informed that I don't have an operating system installed. Where can I see my hard drive?
Hi Jack,
I assume that your error message appears when you try to boot your system, in which case it would seem that you master boot record is damaged on your hard drive.
You can, of course to restore your system from your recovery CD, but that it will return to its original state, and you will lose your data, unless your drive has been partitioned.
If you want to access your data on your hard drive you will need to a CD (or bootable FDD) that will get you access to attempt to recover your HARD drive.

When to buy a new computer?
I had several problems with my Toshiba Satellite L455 computer. The problem is with the Windows 7 operating system. I was not able to get the Windows updates for several months. None of the advice given to me on this forum helped solve this problem. Lately the computer crashes whenever I'm trying to put it in sleep or Hibernate mode. Yet once again, the advice of the forum I had does not solve the problem. Finally, I can no longer communicate remotely with my printer via wi - fi - and even once, will not work suggested solution.
So the question is this. Can I install a new OS (8.1), or buy a new computer with 8.1 pre-installed? Is there another replacement? I'm tired of spending hours trying to apply the patches that never work.
I probably would destroy all my data so I tried a 'destructive factory restore '.
Why do you think that I he calls "destructive Factory Restore?
Many people believe that their computers will live forever. Some of them receive a very rude awakening when something goes wrong and they are unable to access their files, for example due to a disk crash. This is the time when they are to consider the benefits of a regular backup process (for example, weekly). In most cases, it is too late.
Here's what you need to do:
- Get a disk 2.5 "USB case. It costs less $ $60.
- Back up all your data from your old machine of Toshiba.
- Check on your new Toshiba if you can read the data.
- Do the restore to factory on the old machine.
- Use of the disk on the new Toshiba for your regular backups.
