I lost my information for the installation of Windows Anytime Upgrade.

Express upgrade

I recently received an anytime upgrade and now have lost all my ifo to re install. Can you help me.

The first thing you need to do is to get your Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade key:
 
An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
 
What happens if I lose my product key?
 
If you lose your product key, you can return to

www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.
 
 
 
or

Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features.

The next thing you need to do is to ensure that your data is backed up:

 http://notebooks.com/2011/02/25/how-to-restore-a-backup-from-an-external-hard-drive-in-Windows-7/
 
-------------------
 
The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.
 
If your computer is pre-installed with 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.
 
 
 
-Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
 
-HP use F9 on most of its systems
 
-Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
 
-Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

-Dell uses F12
 
 
 
In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
 
 
 
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    For best results, put in your Service tag.  Otherwise, "choose from a list of all products Dell" > Desktops > XPS > XPS 700 Jet Black

    If there is a choice of different drivers (for example, the categories of video and audio), you should do one or more of the following to determine that you actually have material:

    1. use your serial number instead of looking for your computer in the list of all Dell products.
    2. glance in the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
    3. look in system information (start > run > msinfo32.exe > OK)
    4. open your computer and determine the make and model of the control card

    P7-1254 HP Desktop
    Windows 7 Edition Home Premium 64-bit

    I replaced my hard drive and do a clean installation of Windows 7.
    I already found the drivers from hp.com site, and I am familiar with the order and the process of installing the driver on this machine.

    My problem is; HP seems to offer is more USB 2.0 for downloading drivers.

    USB 3.0 drivers are all that is available for the HP p7-1254.

    So I have two questions:

    1. can I install only the drivers USB 3.0 on a Windows 7 computer, and wait for my USB 2.0 devices to work?

    2. in the case, where can I download drivers USB 2.0 for this machine?

    Thank you in advance for any help or advice you offer.

    Windows 7 has the USB 2 drivers included with the operating system.
