  • Windows 7 Home Premium, my product key on the bottom would work if I clicked on "change product key"?

    Original title: ASUS x501a Windows 7-8.

    Hi all

    I just registered here after having been a Microsoft user, since I started using computers, I think that when I started to use it is Windows XP haha, anyway.

    I'm running Windows 7 on the following specifications

    4 GB of Ram

    HARD DRIVE 300 GB

    Intel core i3 clocked at 2.6 GHz

    Intel HD 3000 graphics card

    and it's an Asus x501a comes with 7 not 8, so I've upgraded to Windows 8, then I found out, I removed my recovery partition. Oops.

    I know it's not a way to make it back, unless I did a copy of CD as I do not have.

    so, if I got a copy of my friends Windows 7 Home Premium, my product key on the lower part would work if I clicked on "change product key"?

    Thank you

  • Can I reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium with a key?

    Hello world. I want to reinstall my edition of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop of HP 2000 due to some nasty malware or false-positive accidentally that messed up my Windows 7. Here's my problem. I can't tell if my software is OEM. I tried to go to my computer properties, but because of the incident, I can't get there because of the Explorer Windows unresponsive and reboot. The sticker is a little messed up, and I can't read the last part of the product key, so I need this information to find. But if it is an OEM, can I actually reinstall Windows securely, without the key is invalid or anything? I already have a genuine version of Home Premium installed on it.

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

    No, the key will be invalid and the recovery partition does not use the key on the COA sticker in any case. In your case, it IS an emergency key code in which case you could use an OEM disc Windows 7 credits for purposes of recovery...

  • Windows 7 Home Premium OA product key can be used only with the recovery disk?

    I bought an Acer laptop, he arrived with Windows 7 Home Prem OA sticker behind. I've heard, if you want to reinstall windows, we can only use Acer Recovery Disc for this product keys? Is this right? Can I use any other Windows 7 Home Prem CD and install it and then I put the product key of the laptop, it can also?

    Thank you

    You can use a disk from Windows 7 Home Edition Premium authentic retail.

    There is no need to separately download OEM or retail of Windows 7 RTM installation DVD ISO, as the release of Windows 7 installation can be easily converted using simply the correct product key (for example OEM_SLP product key can convert an installation of Windows 7 at retail in OEM version), as issued by the OEM product keys has a different basis of the retail product key. For ISO of DVD images, the only difference between a Windows 7 RTM retail ISO and ISO of OEM of Windows 7 RTM is in position of EI.cfg file [channel], which specifies the sales channel to retail or OEM.

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"

  • You want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional?

    I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

    You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

    If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

  • How can I reinstall Windows 7 Home premium on my MSI FX600 OA if the recovery partition does not work?

    So, I bought this laptop MSI FX600. It had Windows 7 Home premium OA (OEM I guess). It also contains a recovery partition.

    After awhile, I had to reinstall windows, so I downloaded an iso of windows, put it on a USB key and reinstalled. but the product key doesn't work though I should be able to use it because it is not used by any other computer. How can I reinstall windows and activate with the product key OEM on the bottom of the laptop? somehow the recovery partition no longer works, so that will not help either. Also, where can I download the iso right for reassembly?

    too bad that I already fixed it. I installed the version English, but anyway my laptop only supports the Dutch version. Thank you for your abundant answers.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium OEM or RETAIL "ISO" official "VERSION must download link

    I lost my installation of Windows 7 OEM disk but have the product key.  Where can I find the official Microsoft page to download the ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium OEM files or the "retail" version

    Would be grateful if someone could send me the download link for windows 7 "RETAIL VERSION" (Home Premium). Thank you

    Note: Tried to download the copy of the page of recovery of Microsofts software, but he said "to join the manufacturing of PC if you have an OEM key.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
