Can you give me sources for the answers.

Your laptop will have a hidden restore partition and the manufacturer of the laptop will be provided instructions on how to create the recovery disks or resettlement through the hidden restore partition.

Of the laptop using the recovery disk/partition does not require the use of the key

  • Can I re-use the product key of Windows 7 on my machine after downgrading?

    Someone gave me a desktop computer with the original Windows 7 which has been downgraded to XP. I used it until the end of Windows XP support. My question is can I reuse the product key of Windows 7 on the machine and put Windows 7 on? Activation will fail and I would put Windows 7 for nothing?

    It works perfectly, yes you can do it.  But to put Windows 7 on it, you will need to use either

    (A) the original Windows 7 OEM disc provided with this computer

    or

    (B) recovery partition integrated guidelines of the manufacturer to restore the original Windows 7 OS

    --

    The reason is that the product key on the computer is linked to this kind of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer, like Dell or Acer).  If you cannot use any Windows 7 CD-ROM drive with this code. It must be the disk or installer that came with this code.

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

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.

    You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

    If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

    It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

    Reinstalling windows 7 after re-start of windows xp

    I bought my Asus computer came with windows 7 installed, earlier this year, I encountered a problem with the blue screen to come and I was unable to fix it, when I had my computer repaired they changed the operating system to windows xp, I was wondering if with registration # or whatever is on the side if I could download and reinstall Windows 7

    If the product key on the side of your machine is for Windows 7 and where-ever you guessed it "repaired" installed Windows XP - the real question becomes where they got a product key for Windows XP?

    You have the installation media for the copy of Windows 7 OEM which is preinstalled on your computer?

    If not - you will probably need to contact Asus (this laptop?) over media restore and/or check to see if the "repair" left any which restoration method should have been used intact.

  • Can't use the product key to activate Windows 8

    Original title :-2147023450

    Because my new phone Samsung (which has been activated online) does not have a product key Windows 8 I download Belarc, which shows the product key.

    I used this product to update key.  Microsoft has refused to acknowledge this product key.

    This key cannot be used to activate Windows 8. In addition, your new laptop Samsung if it came preloaded with Windows 8 should already be enabled. The only thing you had to do was to connect to the Internet and it would activate automatically.

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    If you have problems activating, try to do a Reset and attempt to activate again:

    You have two options:

    If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

    Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.
