I want to re - install windows xp on my laptop but I don't have the resource cd. I don't have the product key. What can I do?

Please

I want to re - install windows xp on my laptop but I don't have the resource cd. only I have the key to product label I can do?

also my frist question is that if I install this version (xp sp3) with my product key, it will be legal?

The downloaded file CANNOT BE USED TO INSTALL WINDOWS.

It is not a question of legal or non-legal.  The file you download is not complete.  The downloaded file will update an existing installation of Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows XP Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Right click on my computer, then select Properties.  The screen say for your version of Windows, including Service Pack?

Re-installation of Windows may or may not be the right solution for your problems.  If you want to re - install Windows, read this article on the Toshiba site--> http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/outFrm.jsp?ofId=AskIris&searchString=restore+windows+xp&x=7&y=9 in particular the section titled "using the recovery partition Toshiba HDD recovery utility '

  • I installed Windows 7 not genuine, I need to activate it, but I could not find the product key

    * Original title: product key

    I installed Windows 7 not genuine, I need to activate it, but I could not find the product key. Could someone guide me please.

    If you can't find the product key, you will need to buy a new one:

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    I already bought a CS6 Design and Web Premium download. I want to install it on my new laptop, but I don't know how. I still have my series/code number produced of my purchase in December 8, 2012. What can I do for my transfer software from my old computer to my new computer?

    Just install and activate it.  If you need to download the installation files, you can do so on the link below.

    Your license allows you to have two active facilities, so if you have only one, you can always install on another machine without touching the original installation.  If you do not want the original installation, then you should disable at least opening one of the applications and selecting help-> Deactivate.

  • Cannot find the product key and can not use the gift cards to buy Windows 7 from retail store

    Original title: Let Down by Microsoft Retail store

    My daughter lives and breathes on his pc. We had some tough times lately, and of course, his computer has had too many problems. In February of this year, I bought a Win 7 Home Premium for his pc. Since we moved, so I can't find the package with the product key, or the disc. I have $75 in gift cards from Microsoft, I need to buy new win 7 hp. Almost all retailers (in store and online) competitive price a new copy for about $119. We have been saving, and with gift cards, I would have just enough money to buy win 7 hp for my daughter. I went to our Microsoft store in the Mall. (Don't forget I saved for about 6 weeks, we are on a budget, then gift cards have been a miracle!) Guess what? The only place that I can use the maps from Microsoft wants $199.99. To add insult to injury - I can't use gift cards for purchases in line-HELP! We waited 2 months just to be left out... I am very disappointed by Microsoft.
    I thought that we recorded our product with Microsoft when it was originally installed, but cannot find anyone. All solutions?

    If you have purchased windows is installed a keyfinder allows you to recover your product key.

    I think that the price of $119 is to upgrade xp/vista to windows 7.
    the $199 price is for the full version.

  • Windows activation - new hard drive and reinstalled Windows, but will not work with the product key

    Hi all

    My hard drive died so I put a new in and installed Windows on a drive, but when I have just activated and put my product key does not work. In fact, I get this day by putting in and then it says character not aloud.

    Please can someone help? All I've done is put a new hard drive in but guess that Windows detects that the product key has been used on the old, which explains why it won't work on the new. What should I do to activate the key?

    Thank you

    Thanks a lot for your useful replies. I've got in contact with Microsoft and they gave me a key and it worked!

  • computer has crashed and now windows 7 tells me its not true until I have another product key... help

    How can I get the product key

    Phillip

    You have to buy a new copy of Windows 7 to get a product key, but a new key may not be necessary.

    I suggest that you run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic tool in normal mode (not safe mode) and copy and paste the results into a response for further analysis:

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

    Run the tool and when it ends, click the copy button, open a text such as Word or Notepad file and select Edit, paste. You can paste directly into an answer here. Open a response, right click and select Paste.
