• 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

  Jordan Doughty

  PS: Sorry for mistakes in my writing, I'm not used to a Macbook: P

  If your friend has a retail upgrade or full version and it corresponds to the edition of your PC, then Yes, you can use it.

• I have a Genunine Windows XP (Home edition) installed PC imy. My RAM is 3 GB. Can I upgrade my system Windows Vista withuot spend the extra money?

  The product key for my Windows XP Home Edition is: XXXX-deleted-XXXX. While working in the PC, I get a MESSAGE"blingin on-screen ' OSB LOCKED: I want to know how to stop the message often displayed blinging."

  My second question is can I upgrade my system Windows Vista freely.

  My Hotmail ID of single widows is: [redacted]

  Rigaut

  First of all - do not post in a public forum product keys.

  Second - "OSB LOCKED"... Of course you did not mean "OSD LOCKED?  (a 'd' and not a 'B'...)

  OSD is the "On Screen Display" and has nothing to do with what version of Windows you have - but with yor monitor.  Look here:
  http://www.thefakegeek.com/2009/04/how-to-unlock-an-OSD-lockout-problem/
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-desktop-PC-questions/OSD-locked/TD-p/40291

  Last - is impossible to freely pass your system to Windows Vista.  Windows Vista is a product different from Windows XP and you will need to obtain a license.

• Windows 7 Home Premium invalid product key.

  Hi all!

  Hope you can help me out here. I have an old Dell Inspiron 1525 with 7 Home Premium.

  I had to do a repair reinstall because of virus issues, and every time I try to activate windows it says that my product key is not valid. I tried online with automated phone activation and with an agent of the customer on the line, nothing helps.

  I have the portable authentication certificate delivered with and I was wondering if there is information which could be used to verify my product, or is there anything else I can do to check this version of 7?

  Thanks in advance!

  Jacky

  Thanks for your help, everyone! In fact, I managed to get the product key to work when I tried again. No idea of what makes the difference, but it's great to have such a mass of knowledge here.

  Thanks again!

• 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.

• Can I reinstall Windows 7 Basic Home Edition with product key?

  my computer hp laptop provided with windows 7 Home Basic installed, but it was crushed. I was wondering if I could reinstall windows 7 Home Basic with the product key?

  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.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  OR

  Reinstall Home Basic

  You will need a whole in a single installer disk that you can use to select Windows 7 Home Basic Edition during installation. See the following for instructions:

  For a DVD that contains all the flavors of 32-bit and a DVD that contains all the flavors of 64-bit that is Windows 7 Starter,Home Basic , Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate see

• Can I install windows vista in my computer Windows XP Home Edition sp1?

  Hey, I got a computer with Windows XP Edition sp1 family and I tried to install software that requires you to have at least service pack 3 but for some reason I can't do it. I really need help

  Hello BerthaRuiz Meza,

  If your copy of XP SP1 installed account why not have not you updated to SP3? You can download a full copy of SP3 and install it following the instructions on my site: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_can_i_download_full_copy_xpsp3.html

  There is no reason why you can not install a copy of Vista on your computer, however, you must decide if you want to uninstall XP and install Vista (fine if you have a retail copy of vista) or create a system dual boot whereby you can boot into XP or Vista. You will need a commercial version of the DVD as a copy OEM (one provided by the manufacturer of your PC will be linked to the original machine and will not work if moved to another machine.)

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Reinstallation of Windows 7 Ultimate edition, suddenly product key not valid?

  After 5 years of use, I started having trouble with my system. Microsoft Office gave errors and Windows 7 has been hard too long to start upward or too long to close. I decided to do a new reinstall of Windows 7 Ultimate. I bought the version I have in my University just now and everything was going well on the first re-setup, until I tried to install Microsoft Office only to watch him hang at start installation for far too long. After trying to solve the problems, I thought it would be better update of Windows 7 in total, well, Windows Update installation suspended installation and start-up. So I figured a reboot would help and unfortunately the o/s started showing the same symptoms he had before as I wiped the drive clean. I erased the disc again and tried a new installation, but this time all of a sudden, my product key was invalid. Again, it is a purchase copy, should I call Microsoft?

  As a reminder, I have no o/s on the system other than the installation just run by the disc, now it is stuck on the main screen product because he accepts it.

  You should be able to install without a key and start the 30-day grace period.

  This would then allow to enter the key after installation. However if that dialogue initial report, the key is invalid what you type does them not. At this point, there is no that verify that the key is correctly encrypted is the right key for the version of Windows that you are installing, it does not check with Microsoft for the key abused later, may not have a network connection.

  Make sure that the characters are correct

  B C D F G H J K M P Q R T V W X Y 2 3 4 6 7 8 9

  Some ambiguous characters do not serve but B and 8 can be confused because of the size and the tail of the Q is so small it looks like O which is not actually used

  It is also possible that you used the wrong type of disc for the base of your wake - if the key is an OEM, you must use an OEM for installation and same disc, a disc of detail for a touch of detail.
