I lost the disc to restore my phone and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?
I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?
My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.
Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?
Thank you
Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you. I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!). Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.
If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.
I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!
Thank you much for the help...
Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.
Thank you

Hello
The serial key cannot be located within the program, however, you can try to download an app to Apple: Mac product Key Finder, which can help you to extract the key of your version of Photoshop.

Call the manufacturer of your computer tell them the exact situation.
1. ask if they can help you with unreadable product key.
2. ask for a set of recovery disks. The cost of a set is minimal, and it is worth the money spent.
3. at the same time, ask a technician to learn you how to access the recovery Partition from your computer and how to make the system using the partition recovery.#2 and #3 methods do NOT require the use of product key. ****
