My laptop broke & I had to buy a new hard drive, how can I get Windows 7 on it? Do I have to buy a disc?

If you create recovery discs when you got the computer, you will need to ask the manufacturer for their recovery disks.

  • had to install the new hard drive, windows key does not

    My hard drive died in my Inspiron 660. I ordered a new hard drive and a recovery Dell USB key. A recovery key for Windows 8 pro based on my recommended by Dell service tag. I installed the new drive and used the recovery key to install Windows 8 pro. I then used a third-party tool to get the product key from the BIOS. The product key does not work. I wonder if the product key on the BIOS isn't for Windows 8, Windows 8 pro. If so, the wrong recovery key recommended by Dell.

    Hello

    As you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system on the new HD.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  • New hard drive, you had to install OS but laptop has no CD drive.

    I have a new hard drive with no OS and my laptop is not a CD player. I intend to buy the operating system, but I need to know how I can install it once I get it, given my laptop has no CD drive. The operating system can be purchased at the USB format?

    Also, if it's important, I bought my laptop in New Zealand and will buy the operating system to the United States because I now live here. Is how important it?

    Thank you in advance!

    Yes, that's what I say.  Your permit remains valid.

    If there is no problem at all with activation because of a geographic restriction can call the number identified by slui 4 will allow you to resolve, but I don't know that there will be problems.  I know you were already resigned to having to pay for Windows, but this is generally only a problem for some countries and I don't think that Kiwis are included in this group.

    What [precise] version of Windows 7 is identified on the label that has your product key?  If it's normal Home Premium, Pro, Ultimate, then there is nothing more far I helpful to add the link I gave you.

    In the link that I gave you, the procedure for the use of the download MS DVD/USB tool is described.  André illustrations above show you the procedure it will take you through.

    I give you a point of control of this thread to see if you have any questions, leave on a trip in the morning, so will not be able to check again after approximately 8 hours from now [16:08 CEST].

  • I bought a new hard drive to replace my old, broken, what do I have to buy windows again?

    Hello world!

    I have a laptop very old but relatively powerful. The hard drive on this laptop broke about two years ago and I did not get around to fix until today. I bought a new hard drive and tried to download Windows 7 on a disk from the internet, I entered the product key located on the bottom of the laptop but I was arrested when I was told that the software is preinstalled on the previous hard disk by the manufacturer. It seems that the key I is still active on my old broken hard drive. Y at - it no word-all about this problem? or do I have to buy Windows 7 for my work laptop?

    Any help would be great, thanks.

    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:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • How to reinstall Vista on PC Toshiba laptop with new hard drive?

    Hard drive from my Toshiba laptop of sisters died as well as its internal fan and she asked me to fix it, well I got a new hard drive and replaced the dead with a new internal fan and works perfectly fine with a Linux Live CD. However, she had previously Vista Home Premium installed on it, and there was no installation CD, just 2 recovery discs. Now, I was wondering where I could get an iso image of vista UNACTIVATED so I can use his legitimate product for her key. (I also have a week to achieve and I repair to other computers as well, which are not a problem, so time is of the essence)

    Also, I have no money and can't afford to get a Best Buy installation CD, as the operating system has already been installed on the laptop/OEM computer. If that would be legal so getting an online and burning a black CD and use it to get Vista on this new hard drive of his?

    In addition, I know how to install its drivers, and upgrade from SP1 to SP2 via Windows Update Manager, all I need is a vista installation CD Home premium to get his computer upward and execution of how she wants to.

    * original title - I need a Vista Home Premium Installation CD Unactivated *.

    Thanks for the quick response, so you're saying I haft to buy an installation CD to install legally?

    Hey mikethedj4

    None

    I never said you had to buy a dvd installation anywhere in my answer

    I said that there is no free and legal download

    read all of my answer

    I advised you to start from the 1st recovery disk and if you have any problems contact toshiba at the link I suppied you with

    or follow the rest of my advice on borrowing a microsoft dvd vista and using your product key with him

    what he may not know is that microsoft vista dvd contains all versions of vista

    This is the product key that installs the correct version of the dvd

    There are 2 microsoft dvd vista a 32-bit and one for 64-bit operating system

    most of the computers unless asked when bought normally come with the version of vista 32 bit

  • I have to make a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop, how do I get my current operating system (Vista) on the new hard drive?

    I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

    My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

    Probably you need to use the product key on your computer to activate Windows.

  • new hard drive for laptop

    I have a laptop dv7-3140el and HD samsung HM641JI 640GB 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM (to replace car failure). To buy a new hard drive I have to take the same or I can take 7200 RPM instead of 5400? What technical specifications should I look for when buying a hard drive for computer laptop dv7-3140el? I wouldn't make a bad purchase!

    Sorry for my bad English

    Hello

    Here are a few points to note when replacing your HARD drive:

    You are not limited to any particular drive manufacturer.

    The speed of rotation of the disc can be 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM

    The new drive HARD should be at least the same capacity (or slightly more is okay) as the original drive - mounting a drive smaller than the original often causes risks with recovery media.

    The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

    750 GB hard drive for laptop.

    If necessary, the procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 47 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  • laptop will not allow new hard drive

    Laptop HP 2000-2b19WM will not again take hard drive, no parameters in Bios to allow to change the SATA or IDE drives I activated the legacy... support any help would be appreciated...

    OK, that makes sense. Starting with Windows 8 key Code is built into the BIOS. If you could get an OEM of Windows 8 drive you can install it and it just works (activate) without needing a key Code.

    And if she has had 10 Windows activated on this subject, you can reinstall Windows own 10 and it will activate only as soon as it is connected to the internet.
