However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • 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

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

    Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
    This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

    Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
    Thanks in advance!

    > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
    Yes. Without a doubt.

    New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
    If so avoid any problem.

    Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

  • Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

    Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    How to reset the Windows Update components

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  • Windows 7 on the new installation will not update...

    Any machine that I use, I have about 5-10 daily I install freshly, I can't get Microsoft Windows updates through the web. I end up having to add the machine with no updates to the domain and use WSUS for updates on the system from one day to the next in the case otherwise it can last 24/48 hours before actually start in Microsoft Windows to install on operating systems updates.

    The Machines are all Dell Optiplex, or series Dell Latitude...

    They range from 7020 9010 desktops and laptops Latitude of 5670...

    Minimum specifications are processors I5, SSD 250 GB and 8 GB of DDR3 memory minimal...

    So I know this isn't a problem with that...

    The Windowsupdate log shows nothing out of the norm...

    It didn't become a problem until version 10 of Windows was held... Now it is almost useless to attempt to run updates the Microsoft Site...

    Is there any solution for this?

    Or do I just have to call Microsoft?

    I actually found a solution to this today...

    Figure that I'd share...

    It requires 3rd party tools...

    But inside, you install a trial version of server 2k8R2 and install a trial version of WSUS. Unless you already have it running on the network... In this case, the production of WSUS works very well...

    Go here: http://download.wsusoffline.net/

    Download the WSUS Offline software (10.6.2 works with windows 7 x 86 and x 64)

    Install it...

    Run it...

    Configure it to pull updates from windows of your WSUS (Http://WSUSServer) Server

    Once you do that...

    Click on the updates that you want to make ISO from the server files...

    Click on check the downloaded updates

    Click on include Service packs

    Click on the box global update Windows 7 X 64

    Click Start

    The software will create an ISO of all approved windows 7 updates from your WSUS server...

    At worst it takes 10 minutes to create the ISO and an another 30 min to install on your desktop...

    You will need a DVD/R

    You will also get invited when you jump the disk in the Windows 7 machine, you want to click on the boxes that indicate automatically, restart and continue, then check the box to stop when you're finished...

    It took me about 30 minutes to run 200 + windows updates, but I've included the Office updates in my ISO as file... so it would probably take less most of the machines on...

  • Windows update on the new installation of Windows 7 does not.

    I have several hard drives in a custom PC built and installed Windows 7 on my smaller SSD mainly so I can play Fallout 3 (can not operate in Windows 10@#$%). Everything works fine but just, Windows Update runs and runs. I try to download the updates stand alone, and they just run and run with the message "search for updates on this PC." My Win7 Home Premium installation package had SP1 above. I even tried the update combined KB3125574 and he said that it is not applicable to my PC. From what I understand, MS does not pay much attention to their update servers Win7 more, but I'd appreciate any help.
