• I need to reinstall Windows Vista but the sticker on the laptop product key is not readable.

  My partner has an Acer laptop running Windows Vista Basic 32-bit. He needs a complete reinstallation of Windows because there a lot of problems now. The problem is the sticker of the product key on the laptop is often illegible. I tried to use the Magic Jelly Bean finder key to resolve this issue, but the key does not match what the letters which are readable on the sticker. I tried this on my own laptop and had the same problem (sticker key did not key on the computer). Neither laptops have had Windows reinstalled before. I learned that the keys posted by Magic Jelly Bean are in fact license keys of Volume factory installed by the OEM rather than found on the stickers product keys and Volume license keys cannot be used to reinstall Windows.

  His cell phone doesn't have a recovery disk or a recovery partition, but even if she did, given its current state, a complete reinstallation is what it takes. Her cell phone is not come with a Windows Installation DVD, either, but we can borrow one from a friend who owns a disk with the same version of Windows as his laptop and I know that works perfectly. We just need a way to recover the product key that was on the sticker. We are not ready to buy a new copy of Windows that we already have a license (through the purchase of the laptop) key.

  PS I remember that I helped my father after reinstall Windows XP. We tried both the key on the sticker of his PC and the one that we found on the PC itself (Volume key). In the end, only the key on the sticker has worked. This confirms that a Volume license key cannot be used to reinstall Windows.

  Hello

  We cannot help you with your product key and there are no records of loan use

  recovery discs are brand and the specific model

  and product key finder programs will not help you find product keys that you can use vista preinstalled in these circumstances

  to reinstall vista use either disk or recovery partition recovery manufacturer, since they do not normally require an input key product on your part

  The manufacturer must provide a way to reinstal vista or by disk or a recovery Partition

  Contact Acer recovery Vista disc

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  and Acer has a "hidden" recovery partition

  Normally with an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process, or if it is still ongoing, you go to section eRecovery under [programs and search for how to make recovery discs and the use of the recovery partition

• I need to reinstall Windows Vista to do a reinstall of Windows 7 upgrade?

  I have an Alienware Area 51 750i. He is initially provided with windows Vista but had a free upgrade to windows 7. My hard drive has acted lately and I think to replace. I have to buy a new drive for windows 7 or I can use my old copy and install it on the new hard drive. The computer came with a Windows Vista recovery disk and also the disk to upgrade to windows 7.

  You can reuse your Windows 7 license on the new hard drive. You need to reinstall Windows Vista on the new hard drive, and then perform a custom installation of Windows 7 during installation of Windows Vista. You may need to reactivate by phone:

• restarted to how I bought at the store (windows 8), do I need to reinstall windows 8.1?

  I bought this computer a year ago, not just a gateway with windows 8. I rebooted the computer to the way it was purchased in the store. now he says that it cannot install the updates, it tries but said then failed, defeating the update. so since its done and I rebooted it, do I need to reinstall windows 8.1? Why would he do that? any help is appreciated, thanks

  Hello NikkiMorris,

  That your PC is almost a year old and you say it came with Windows pre-installed, 8 so, with you restoring back to factory conditions, you must reinstall the Windows 8.1 update.

  While Windows 8, without the 8.1 update, updates some files, it will not full updates. To do that you need to completely upgrade Windows 8.1 I believe that Microsoft made sure that Windows 8 would update not fully to make sure that everything the world updated to 8.1 of Windows Update. Without the 8.1 update you can not access the full set of Windows Update to date.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Can I format HARD drive and reinstall Windows 7 on the Qosmio F60 without CD

  I think my hard drive is faulty on my F60 Quosmio so I want to reformat the hard drive to see if that will fix it. But I don't have the original packaging and the information with me at the moment so I don't know if it came with a windows 7 CD or not. Whatever it is, I don't have the CD.

  I found on the net that most manufacturer who deliver without CD include a "recovery partition" or "factory image partition" which you can access during startup. Anyone know if the F60 Quosmio comes with a CD or if she has this recovery partition or partition image factory? Or do you know if there is a way I can check if my computer is it?

  If you have more information about the formatting of the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 without the CD please let me know.

  Thank you.

  The laptop came with a Windows disc, because there is a Toshiba recovery disc Creator called tool which create the recovery disk.

  The recovery partition was available and it allows you to recover the laptop without the use of the recovery disk, but it does not work if the HARD drive has failed.

  Here's a nice HowTo on HARD drive recovery
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  So, if you n t have a recovery disc and can not recovery Notepad using HARD drive recovery, then you have two options:
  -You will order a new recovery disk
  -You must install Windows operating system using a disc of Microsoft
