• I bought and downloaded a digital copy of Windows 8 and I had to format and reinstall my computer - no E-mail order or code of the product, only Paypal purchase information

  Hello

  I bought and installed Windows 8 as a digital downloadon November 13, I had to format and reinstall my computer in order to correct a hardware problem and now I can not re - download Windows 8.
  I don't have the original email from Microsoft with my product code I can't find my order number to complete the form at: http://www.mswos.com so that I can not retrieve my product code in order to perform an upgrade of windows 8.
  The only evidence of the purchase that I have is my paypal invoice that does not have a valid order number contained in the details of the Bill.
  This question makes me wish I had ordered a disc like this would have included a product code label. Any help or a number I can call to retrieve my order number (or maybe I'm filling out the form at http://www.mswos.com incorrectly) would be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks in advance.

• I have a PC with Vista, I tried to install Windows XP, it was rejected, and now I don't have an operating system

  I have a PC with Vista, I tried to install Windows XP, it was rejected, and now I don't have an operating system

  Bruce,

  Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?

  If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.

  You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.

  Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.

  I want to install windows on my new macbook and I need to create a partition. I have not now what size to make my windows partition. Can someone give me some advice?

  1. in what year is your Mac?

  2. What is the size of your storage internal?

  3. what version of Windows?

  4 as a general rule 60-100 GB for W8 + / W10 is recommended. You can also create a minimum Windows (30-50 GB) and use an external drive D: for documents applications for portability.

• How can I get windows xp Setup to format and install.

  I am trying to format and reinstall windows xp on a home build I have for my nephew, but having all sorts of trouble. I tried on three different drives and get the same thing. When I get to the point of delete the partition and create a new partition it it still affects in RAW format. I don't give me the opportunity to FAT or NTFS. and then when I try to install says windows cannot be installed on the disk. the first time I thought that the hd could have been killed, but when it happened on the second and third discs I am at a stand still. Anyone out there have any ideas for me? Thank you

  What do you mean by "treated as main system internally disk"? If these discs are in external boxes USB, your method will not work! If they are REAL internal drives, and then booster cables and the master/slave relationship must be correct. Depending on whether the drive is IDE or SATA, a certain BIOS setting may need to be set or you may need to have the SATA drivers on a floppy disk so that you can hit the F6 key at the right time. See:

  Can there be a hardware conflict instead? Absolutely! Let us know everything. It is possible, one or more components does not support Windows XP. Finally, consider starting a new thread here since your question seems to certainly be related to material:

  Hello guys, I installed Windows which was not original and now it's not true, I do not know the product key and I want to activate how?

  If the edition installed does not match the edition, you have a product key because it will not activate.

  If you have a product key for the specific edition installed, try the phone activation:

  I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

  If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

  If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

  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.

  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"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• Formatting and reinstalling Windows without the recovery CD

  I don't have access to my recovery cd as I am currently overseas and I am trying to format and reinstall windows. What would be the best way to do this? The recovery CD is totally part of reinstalling windows?

  I don't want to just do the reinstall and find that I have no screen etc.

  Hello

  Well, if you have no recovery CD, you can install the Windows operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows. Then you can try to download all the required drivers will Toshiba from the Toshiba download page.

  But beware: you must update the drivers in the correct order. The drivers are placed in the right order, and it is very important for the new facility.
