• I have my product key, but not the cd of windows!

  Greetings to all!

  OK, 2 years ago, I bought my laptop. He gave me the laptop but he gave me the windows cd so I can format it and I was pretty beginner do not ask. The thing is that the laptop has the product key (25 digit code) on the real sticker on the back side of the laptop. Then... I want to format my laptop... What are my choices because I don't have the cd? A friend told me that I can download a windows evaluation version and install it and then put my product key where he will ask. Can someone help me? I can't find the right link to download windows. I'm looking 'Windows XP Professional 1-2CPU' sticker product key says. Help :(

  No, it will not work.

  1. most laptops have a factory to restore the image on a special partition on the hard drive. To call the factory restore process, a general starts the computer and press a key of function (such as F10) or a combination of keys (such as Alt + F11). Search tech support website of the computer laptop mftr. to know how to restore your computer if you plant and then do it after saving your data.

  2. If the factory restore image does not exist or does not work, contact technical support of computer laptop mftr. and see if they will sell you a set of recovery disks. This will normally very expensive, around $20-25.

  3 otherwise, either buy a full copy of what version of XP you want (XP Home is less expensive than XP Pro and is fine for most people) and do a clean install of Windows. The copy of the detail will be its own product key that you will use. After installation, be sure to install all the drivers for your laptop. You will get drivers to computer mftr's technical support Web site.

  4. the only other alternative would be to take your computer to a local technician who can install Windows using a generic OEM installation disc or brand. Of course, it will be free, and you will not have the OS disk to keep later, so this isn't really the best scenario for you. #1 or #2 are the best choices.

• Reinstall windows on the larger hard drive with the product key, but not drive. PC was custom and retailer out of business.

  It is my mother's computer.  She is 90 and is unwilling to learn a new OS.  I want to reinstall XP on a hard disk that has 300 GB and is already installed in the E drive.  His original hard drive is 40 GB and 35 are in use.  I have the original Windows product key but not the windows CD.  the retailer who has built and sold this pc is out of business.  What is the best way to achieve this?

  You can borrow a retail XP CD from a friend of yours and activate it using your product key.

  Just make sure that if your key is for home then get XP Home etc.

  Hello

  My windows product key is not valid. It shows that I don't ' have a genuine windows, and so I entered the product key to activate

  and its not to validate. It was workiing before, just do not know what happened.

  Help, please.

  Thank you!

  I wanted to tell the name of version (e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium) printed on the sticker.  Is the version currently installed on the PC of the same version?  Check in Control Panel > system page.  The number is the ID of the product that is not supposed to be the same as the key.

  If the versions are identical, then the problem is a bad character entered, almost always.

  If the product key is readable, then you can certainly use it to Clean install Windows Upgrade 10. Look over the steps and ask in return if you have any questions.

  I installed Windows 10 House. When I went to enter the enclosed code error codes and not accept the key and activate windows 10

  you need to upgrade your version of windows to windows 10 first, then you can do a clean install.

  you don't need to enter any 10 windows product key during installation (if you did the upgrade first).

  Windows 10 will not accept any product key from older versions of windows if you do a clean install, you must buy a windows retail 10.
