• Can't activate Windows 7 after re - install, have the product key for Vista but not W7

  Hello

  My father-in-law asked me to help him with his laptop because he had a lot of problems with it. After a lot of work trying to solve the problems, we have decided to re - install Windows because it seemed to be the easiest solution. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the installation disc. After some research, I discovered that it is possible to download an ISO of Windows 7 on Digital River and put it on a USB key to create a pseudo reinstall drive. I looked under the laptop and saw that the product key was still visible on the sticker, so I moved and re-installed Windows 7 using a USB key that had the right file ISO on it.

  However, it is only after you have reinstalled Windows 7 that I realized that the laptop came with Windows Vista and which is what provided the product key. It seems that the laptop has been upgraded to Windows 7 after, but my father-in-law doesn't remember anything about it since it is not too good with computer and the laptop belonged to his son.

  Now, we have a new installation of Windows 7, but I can't understand how to activate it. I would really appreciate the help as I already put a lot of time on this and cannot find a solution.

  Thank you.

  Managed to find a working link to a file image of vista and installed on the laptop. Everything seems fine now.

  Thanks for the help.

• I can't activate Windows 7 after cleaning installed.

  Activation of Windows 7 (upgrade) after clean reinstall

  Hi guys,.

  I have the problem with the Windows 7 upgrade version. I was with WIn 7 months with no problems. Win7 was installed on windows Vista in my case.
  But a few days ago, I decided to do a clean reinstall (from scratch, formatted HARD drive).

  The installation was funny until I got the error message telling me that my key is not for the clean install and I can't activate the system. I just left the empty key field and open windows.

  I thought that I activate the system in 'normal' mode not during the installation. So I now fully installed Windows 7 and I can't activate it - because the installation was made not M$ ' mroper way "." Very funny so the "right way" is to install windows Vista and upgrade to windows 7?

  The system has been enabled on this PC (the same harware 100%) before, so I can't do this again? I can not show same Vista installation CD, etc. installation key?

  Is there another way to activate it?

  Thank you

  Maciej

• Can I activate windows 7 after re-installation

  I have converted the disk from basic to dynamic disk, to make more partitions. But now, because of some problems, the computer began trolling. So, I tried factory restore windows using the "recovery Partition". But it does not work. After some research, I found that the recovery partitions lose their functionality if the volume is converted to dynamic. But then I thought of converting the dynamic disk to basic disk so that the recovery partition would start working again, but the problem with this is, I have to remove all the volumes of the partition on the disk (which also includes the recovery partition) before that I can convert it to a basic disk.

  I did the system recovery disk, but the optical drive on my laptop has stopped working, perhaps because I've never used.

  So, if I install windows using another Installer (downloaded form Internet and made a bootable USB key), it will be possible for me to activate windows by using the product key on the back of my laptop. ?

  Laptop model: Sony Vaio SVE15118FNB

  OS: windows 7 Home premium x 64

  Well it seems that you can not delete the recovery partition. I deleted the other partitions and converted the rear disk Basic. The factory restore then connected the recovery partition, and it worked... !! Thanks to all those who have taken to find a solution to this problem.

• My product key"is to upgrade only" so now I can't activate Windows 8 after spending $70

  Two weeks I upgraded to Win8 of Win7. (PS my laptop is not originally mine so I do not have the Win7 drive). Last Sunday, Windows could not update and crashed my system. After trying in vain to get help from Microsoft (and accumulating of the phone bill), I changed my hard drive and freshly reinstalled Windows 8. Finally I was in business... only that now my product key will not work. She is a straight key, but after several hours (and a bigger to my phone bill) I said that my drive is "for the upgrade only' and cannot be used for a clean reinstall. What? 1. what happens if someone doesn't have a disc with another OS, as is the case with me? 2. why I didn't say me that when 'redeveloped '? 3. what happens if someone has hardware problems and is forced to reinstall their OS, as was the case with me? The "backup drive" I was sent not supposed to work? What is the purpose of the "backup disc" then? 4. should I spend more money, even though I have yet to get the service I was looking for? 5. off topic a little: why Microsoft keep train to transfer me all over the world to say 'we can not help you. You are in a different area? Microsoft doesn't know how it works? Holy crap. No wonder that piracy is so popular.

  You can try this fix from another thread:

  Brilliant, wonderful human being named BinaryInk has reported the following:

  "Work around it, although probably not officially supported for obvious reasons (they want more money), is to change a registry key." It was published for the keys to update Windows 7 do the same thing on a forum (although I had an updated version AND a clean installed SEVERAL times without having to do) but worked without problems on my laptop under Windows 8 without worrying.

  1. run the registry (regedit) editor
  2. look for the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE
  3. change the value to "MediaBootInstall" from 1 to 0
  4. open a prompt (run as admin)
  5. run the following command: slmgr-rearm
  6 reboot

  If you have already entered your key, check the activation: for me it has already been activated and I need to do nothing more. Otherwise, type activate windows and type the key. It should work. Also, do you a favor and export this regedit key and save it somewhere if you are required to do a clean install. I know I did. »

• Can not activate Win 8 after removing all of the Satellite P850

  I did everything remove and reinstall Windows 8.
  As in the factory setting.

  But I can't activate Windows. The product key does not work.

  The Windows 8 K OME on my Toshiba Satellite P850.

  Thank you.

  Cheers mate.

  Hello

  The key of product at the bottom of the device would not work!
  The pre-installed Windows 8 would be activated automatically during the startup and configuration of the system for the first time!

  You format the whole HARD drive? Did you remove the 8 Windows from the HARD drive?
  Have you created a disk recovery or flash memory stick recovery in the past?

  ISN'T IT?
  In this case, there is only one option to get to factory settings.
  You will need to order the Toshiba Recovery disk:

  Hello

  Often we see weird behavior as the result of a program of loading during the startup process.

  To solve these, we use the clean boot troubleshooting.

  The following article describes this process:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Please note that after refine us the cause, it is important that we return to a normal startup and manually delete the startup program.

  We'll do this before uninstalling Service Pack 2.

  If the behavior persists, then we can clean boot, uninstall and reinstall Service Pack 2.

  Best regards

  NOP TrekDozer you cannot mark as the cause of the answer of the question was:

• How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

  How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

  Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

  There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

  If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.
