  • I bought my Dell computer in 2012 and had to reload my Windows 7 but my product key at the bottom of my computer

    I bought my Dell computer in 2012 and had to reload my Windows 7 but my product key at the bottom of my computer is worn and I was wondering if it is possible for Microsoft to have a copy of it.

    No, unfortunately.

    But since you bought a Dell computer, it provides a DVD of free relocation for each model, which is a clean copy of the OS without the bloatware factory but just a logo and a standalone activation.  Order here: need backup Media? Reference Dell U.S.

    I would not use the drivers disk unless you need to install the driver of LAN network to get online.  Instead, follow these steps to clean reinstall Windows 7, install all your Important and optional Windows updates until no more are available, so all still pilots missing in Device Manager must be imported from the Web page of the Dell Support downloads for your tag number.

    Other than that if you still have the recovery partition on the disk Dell and it does not start after restoration of PC Dell Windows 7

    Then, you can try to run it manually after the recovery Partition to start using EasyBCD .  This also activates the self.

  • I have a WIndows 7 Ultimate operating system failure and required a drive for a clean install. I have the product key, but Microsoft offers no English option.

    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate active computer that was swarming (STRONGLY) of malware/virus/junk files/adware...

    I think I have cleaned out, but want to do a clean to be sure install, but I have no partition recovery (may be erased by a virus?) and no recovery dick.

    I went to the Microsoft website and entered my product key.  He has been recognized as Windows 7 Ultimate, but when I had to choose a language, English was not available.

    Any solution, or should I continue to use the computer and all hope is clean?

    EDIT - I installed the windows 10 (using an ISO image) on Windows 7.  I do not enter the product key when asked (the program said I could jump at this stage of the installation).  Installation went well.

    I then checked to activate Windows 10 - it activated without any difficulty.

    I will now try a clean install...

    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:

  • 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

    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.

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.
