I have my windows xp product key but no installation disc.

is there a legal way I can download an iso or something, so I can install xp?

Hello

If you use OEM computers, you will need to contact your computer manufacturer to see if there are any available recovery disks.

Alternatively, you can contact Microsoft Customer support to buy the Windows XP disc.

    Hello

    If Vista was preinstalled on your computer, read this information:

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    It may still be there after installation of XP

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  • My laptop was stolen, but I have the Windows 7 product key. Can I disable it?

    PLEASE, DO NOT RESPOND WITHOUT HAVING READ THE FIRST POST! IM NOT ASKING IF I CAN TRANSFER THE PRODUCT KEY ON ANOTHER COMPUTER! My laptop was stolen, but I have the Windows 7 product key.  Can I disable Win 7 for this laptop so they can not use it?  I don't want to transfer the product key on another computer, nor am I asking questions on the follow-up to the computer I bought a computer brand new with a perfectly good copy of win 7. I just need to disable the old key so that they get the Windows 7 is not geniune message and can not get updates.  Furthermore, I have a proof of purchase (original receipt from reception and cc) and entered it in the original box.

    IM NOT ASKING IF I TRANSFER PRODUCT KEY ON ANOTHER COMPUTER!

    IM WONDERING NOT IF I CAN FOLLOW USING THE COMPUTER WIN 7 PRODUCT KEY!

    If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

    You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

    They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

    Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.

    The key on the base of the laptop is the recovery key that requires that the recovery disks provided by the manufacturer.

  • Windows 7 product key, but no disc

    had to refomat laptop computer after a virus, have lost everything. Reinstalled windows xp recovery disc. There is a 7 product key of windows on the underside of the laptop.

    Is it possible to reinstall without buying another copy of Windows 7?

    Hi idlavelle,

    The product key on the underside belongs to the preinstalled version of Windows 7 and can not be used with a normal installation disc for Windows 7.

    In addition if your laptop comes with Windows 7 preinstalled you must create a recovery disc yourself with pre-installed recovery disc creator. All this is mentioned in the user manual, but it seems you didn t he read why? :(

    Now it s too late and if you want the original off back of settings box you will need to order a recovery disc here:

  • I have a Windows 7 product key that has worn

    It's on an Acer; the computer no longer works.  I wanted to use it on my Dell Vista upgrade. I have the Acer recovery cd, but it no longer turns.

    This product key is an OEM license that would not transfer rights to another computer in any case.

    Your best option to buy a new license of Windows 7 license for Vista machine or review it migration to Windows 10.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)
