• Install Windows 10 Pro lowered home (with no product key) after expenses.

  Received my Lenovo ThinkPad 11th yesterday and after much research, I decided to do a clean install. It came with WIndows 10 Pro and I checked the settings (that I created my Windows account at the same time) and he said that it has been activated using Windows. According to the instructions of Microsoft (and various YouTube videos, I've looked), once a machine is activated, it would automatically update the product key, so no need to find.

  That is the problem. I had installed 10 Windows on a USB key and the installation went well, or so I thought. I checked the settings after installing different programs that I would use as he said that I need activate Windows. Well, checking settings, he lowered me 10 Windows Home and of course the the product key in the system (if it's still there) that is the error I get is not valid.

  Of course, it is not a product key on the bottom of the computer and there is nothing in the box. How can I get my product key back so that I can install Pro back?

  Using ProduKey, I get two different keys. One for the new Home edition and the other for the OEM Bios. I guess that I need reintsall (new) and use the key in BIOS Yes?

  So guess what? He's back for Pro and it is activated!

  I think what happened is that I downloaded the single language version and that's what he screwed up. I just redownloaded windows 10 (first on the menu drop-down) and he installed Pro and activated.

  Creating new media doesn't let you choose, he will choose for you based on your product key from the system.

  Thanks for your help.

  You have all your current updates?
  Go to windows updates and see if there are updates that you do not have installed.
  The error message seems to indicate that your copy of XP has not been updated.

  Updated and let us know if you still receive the error message.

• Installed windows 7 64 bit, but there is no sound driver.

  Original title: Audio drivers:

  installed windows 7 64 bit, but there is no sound driver. Ive been to my card mother website http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2/M2N32SLI_DeluxeWireless_Edition/

  to get the drivers for my motherboard since my motherboard is used and came with no driver
  ultimately my PC does not claim any audio drivers, ive went into the bios and the same group leader to get sounds and weeks of googeling and research and still no luck and desperately need help to get the sound to my PC

  all your help has been very useful and instructive for the future of the resolution of this problem, but in the end, no audio drivers are compatible because the author of this motherboard is the audio drivers for the version of windows 7. I have audio now because my friend gave me an extra sound card laying around. Thank you to all who tried to help out me :)

• How to install windows 8 using an product key OEM (under construction)

  Hello everyone. I bought a computer laptop sony vaio about a year ago and he had 8 integrated windows which clrealy means that the product key is embedded in the motherboard. Now the thing is I want to dual boot with ubuntu and use it alongside windows 8.1 (that I've updated 8) and the ubuntu installation went a little worse. When I went to reinstall I erased by mistake my hard drive and all I was left with was an operating system reinstalled ubuntu.  Now I know that the product key for the windows kernel 8 is in my motherboard, so I want to install windows 8 on it, but it seems that there is no way I can get the iso standard for installation. I tried to use the 'upgrade of windows with a single product key' by Microsoft after the extraction of my key by using a program, but it says my key cannot be used to obtain a version of windows.

  Im stuck pretty bad here now, and any help would be appreciated. -There should be a solution because after all I don't have a genuine product key-

  As you probably know, most of the machines are supplied with recovery disks more, they just put in another partition on the hard drive.  Sometimes, you can get this in now shift while clicking the option restart from the menu of the power.

  Given that, most of the manufacturers have prepared with their own solutions. My computer Vaio from Sony has a button of special pinhole that I had to press with a paper clip to enter into recovery mode.  Other manufacturers have other options, some require a USB thumbdrive to enter recovery, or a CD.

  At this point, you probably want to contact your manufacturer to find out which method of recovery they use.  I hate to bring bad news, but they'll probably say "why did not a recovery USB disk? (as if someone creates their own set of disks of repair when they receive a new computer).

  Help a friend with a Dell laptop (did not have a problem, but wanted to install a pure one)

  passing), Dell sent us a free night FedEx ship from a restore CD. The manufacturer of your can be so nice. I know that Sony was not. If the recovery of my Vaio button didn't work, they wanted $60 for a CD!

  Anyway, the manufacturer is your best bet, that now, if you don't have a USB self made for recovery.

• Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it?

  Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it. I found a Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and downloaded so I can install it. on my computer, I have the key, but no CD.

  Vista is now at the SP2 level.

  No public download free "legal" of any MS OS does exist, with the exception of trial versions.

  Anything you download from a public site carries the risk of associated malware that can be hidden in the facility and is to be avoided like the plague, it may turn out be a carrier.

  Hello Tony

  It depends on the type of license that is on the PC. to determine this, the simplest method is to run the MGADiag tool:

  Download MGADiag (by Microsoft) from the link below:

  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52012

  Run the tool by double-clicking the file. Press to continue when prompted

  When it is finished, press on copy and then paste (Ctrl + V) in your next post please

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:

  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".

  ------------------------

  If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.
