• I would like to know how to re - install windows on a laptop with the product key on the back of the laptop.

  install windows with the product key

  someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.

  or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.

  I thank you for your time and have a good day.

  If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition.  If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation.  At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.

  If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.

• Re-install Windows 8, it will choose the product key?

  OT: Re-install Windows 8.

  My computer broke down and all restore points do not work.

  I have a Windows 8 OS install disc, but I don't know my registration key activation/for Windows 8 OS came with the computer.

  If I start a new installation on the laptop, he automatically picks up the key from the bios, or what I have to enter manually in?

  If I don't have to enter, someone know how I can find it using the command line or in the registry?

  Thank you!

  If you use your drive and it came with the computer, it is automatically activated when you reinstall. If the disc is not a detail, it will not activate and in this case, you will need to use either the recovery Partition - if your computer comes with one - or contact your computer manufacturer's technical support and ask them to send you a full set of Recovery DVD. They usually charge a small fee for these for help to cover their costs (under US $20.00 for my HP).  Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

  It is an equivalent using a product key from a version (say OEM) on a different version (e.g. retail). If you can get a download from the MSDN site, then you can also get a matching key for her.

  Please specify presents first, and then we can help you.

• Bypass UEFI provided the product key to install Windows 8?

  Just bought an HP computer brand new.

  Unlike my old systems, it is running a UEFI (BIOS) firmware and HP integrated the product keys for Windows 8 BASIC in the firmware somehow.   The problem installing my authentic copy retail of Windows 8 Professional.    I want to talk about a new installation DVD, after formatting and partitioning the drive (can't stand all this HP bloatware/test stuff).

  The DVD mode of UEFI boot work, but when it gets to the part of the facility where he asks my product key - windows install grab the keys off the coast of the motherboard and told me that they do not match.    I'm never gave the possibility to use the key that came with my copy of windows 8 pro.

  How to install Windows 8 Pro, so the installer will allow me to enter my product key?

  In the bios, there are options to disable secure boot, enable and disable the keys.   None of them running.   There is even an option in the bios by default to 'keys provided by the user.   but who doesn't either.

  Help!

  Found a working solution... just in case someone else runs into an OEM computer that has built-in product keys it UEFI firmware.

  The solution was very simple and easy to perform.    First you'll need an original copy of your Professional 8 Windows DVD or an ISO of it.    You will also need an empty key USB 4 GB or more.

  By following the steps on this site - perform the format of the USB key:

  http://www.Blogsolute.com/create-Windows-8-USB-bootable-pendrive-UEFI-boot/25988/

  Then create a file named PID.txt (as described below).

  http://www.Blogsolute.com/Windows-8-clean-installation-product-key-do-not-match/25990/

  After many hours of banging my head against the UEFI firmware, PID.txt solution works very well.   When windows setup find PID.txt, she uses this product code and ignores the one integrated in the firmware of computers.

  Don't forget to complete the formatting of the USB for UEFI, its necessary for the needs of secure boot of many new computers.    You can try booting in legacy mode, but it wouldn't work on my computer.

  See you soon.

• I couldn't do a 3 recovery disc, so how do I go about installing Windows Vista without all of the disks?

  original title: VISTA recovery problem.

  I'm in a situation where I could make only a single recovery of 3 DVDs and now, by mistake, I formatted my PC using this disc. After that when I start my PC with recovery disc, it is not able to detect any operating system (VISTA). Help, please...

  Hello

  We never did all of the computer manufacturers of recovery disks

  You must all reinstall them vista

  If you have problems with the use or to contact the manufacturer recovery process manufacturers

  It's their recovery process not microsofts

  ________________________________________________________________

  Read this on how to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  You should always have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
