• Recover windows 8 from the windows.old folder

  Hello

  I'm trying to recover windows 8 from the windows.old folder, but no luck yet. I upgraded my system to winodws8.1 and I can see that there is a windows.old folder.

  Therefore, a way to return to previous windows, if someone has forgotten to do disk recovery or restore point.

• Is it possible to reinstall Windows without all the preinstalled HP software?

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1334us notebook, installed with Windows 7 64 bit. I'm very familiar with the process of recovery, DVD and everything, but I recently read this article on Lifehacker: http://lifehacker.com/5832896/download-windows7-isos-to-reinstall-without-restoring-your-system

  The possibility of installing a fresh, clean and legitimate Windows 7 with my product key current copy seemed to be a good thing. Nor should I changes made by HP, Norton, Office 2007, Wildtanget games and all. When installing it, I was invited to spit a product key. I tried the one at the bottom of my book, which is a bit worn and hard to identify, but I don't seem to have a chance. I reinstalled the version of HP with my recovery disks and used Speccy (a program by Piriform, the same developer that does Ccleaner) to find the product key in my registry. I took the key and tried in the installation process. He seemed to have lived without a hitch. However, after checking my activation status of Windows, turns out that the key has been rejected, apparently marked as invalid for this type of activation (I forgot the exact wording, but it is easily recoverable if necessary). So now I write here, ask if anyone else has tried this on a flag, and if so, successfully and if this, how. Is there a sort on the other key hidden, I'm missing?

  I know that all this OEM situation, it is shaded in the first place, but I would like to know if I train for a cause without possibility of success. Also, I discovered that HP Support Assistant has something on a product key, and so I ask if this could possibly be different as well.

  Thanks in advance,

  Clayton M.

  Hello

  You should have no problem as long as you keep to the following points.

  1 use a detail (or a created DVD from an ISO downloaded) which is the exact version the same as the original OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit is retail (or your own drive created) you need to use.

  2. you need to use the activation key on the COA sticker on the base of your laptop.

  3. you generally (although whenever I did) need to use the 'method of phone' to activate the operating system once the installation is complete - see a guide on this here.

  This is a perfectly legitimate process and is supported by Microsoft for Windows 7 - see here.

  Kind regards

• EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

  My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

  Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

  OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

  But don't be surprised if it does not work with the version of Win10 that you have installed.

• Using existing Windows 7 on the new PC laptop to win 8

  Hello. I don't know if I can do it.

  I'm going to need a new laptop soon but I don't want nothing with earn 8 or 8.1 to win. I just want to keep Win 7 that works very well for me. I have a new OS is unnecessary and won't spend the time to learn one.

  Is it possible to buy a new laptop and transferred my copy of Windows 7 on it?

  As long as it is a license of full version of detail, its not installed and in use elsewhere and your computer supports, Yes, you can.

  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

  Resources:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2832566

  Return the laptop if it came preloaded with Windows 8 and purchase one already preloaded with Windows 7, they are always available:

• Can I do a clean install of Windows 8 (without the DELL OEM software)?

  Hi people,

  I just bought a DELL Inspiron 17R laptop computer which came with Windows 8. I want to install an aftermarket SSD and do a clean install of Windows 8 on the SSD without all the stuff extra DELL piles on the computer in their factory. However, the laptop does not come with any media of Windows 8. My other options (copy windows divide in the SSD or use Windows backup and restore), both result in installing Windows 8 with a lot of software DELL.

  DELL said that they do not have the installation of Windows 8 media and I need to contact Microsoft to get it. Any ideas on how I can go about this? I'm happy to pay a nominal fee for the discs, but having already an OEM of Windows 8 installation, I want to avoid going to the shops and buy a new license.

  Any ideas are much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Chris

  Unfortunately, your only option is to create a disk backup and restore using recovery tools provided by Dell and use it to reinstall Windows 8. This is especially true because you run Windows 8, which are not available elsewhere.

  or

  SSD of cloning:

  You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

  See

  http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-HDD-to-SSD-with-Windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a copy of the trial of Acronis True Image Home.

  Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

• How can I recover windows files on the start menu as "Accessories" after the fake recovery tool?

  My pc has been infected recently with the fake windows recovery tool. I don't know how to recover the files/folders in the start menu and the desktop that were there before.

  It seems to remove the shortcuts in the start program, so a show systemic does not help.  Or it does solve the problem of the "NoDesktop" under political Explorer setting, which prevents the user access to the desktop (see  ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938265.aspx).  I had to deal with a computer with these questions last week. I'm not sure it's the same virus (it was a fakesysdef one), but some things can not easily be corrected.  My experience was that I had to set up the shortcuts to start again, as they were not hidden, but they seem to just disappeared.

• I can create a system recovery disk that gets installed and updated Windows 7, not the preinstalled HP Vista recovery Partition?

  I have a laptop HP HDX 18 that had 64-bit Windows Vista installed, with a Vista recovery on his C drive Partition.  Since then, I installed clean 64-bit Windows 7 Professional of his Microsoft licensed DVD, that I still have.  I kept with all (200 +) of Windows updates.

  Now, I want to create a system (Flash drive) for this laptop recovery disk, but my concern is that he will lead the recovery in its Partition Vista original, installed at the factory.   If I use W7 administration tools installed to create a system recovery disc, it will recover the old Windows Vista or Windows 7?  In addition, it would be nice to have a system recovery disk that had the latest W7.

  I'm not looking to install the drive link below; However, I prefer the system recovery disk to restore my laptop to its W7 system most recently updated, rather than start over.

• Impossible to run Windows Update, get the 8007370B and 8007371C error code

  I could not update vista windows for many months, I currently have 30 updates update download but unable due to the error of the codes 8007370 B and 8007371 C... Help!

  I think that my computer was infected :(

  Just out of curiosity

  1 - What is the installed security/antivirus suite.

  2 - and what other security software you run, if any?

  3 - is this 'software firewall' the Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall? If the latter, what is the name of this application.

  Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

• How to recover Windows Vista without the original disks?

  Original title; Vista Windows
  My windows vista computer has been corrupted (the original one). I tried to reload from the recovery media, but he says no restore points created... I don't have an original cd now, but is it possible I can get vista filed original that I can't afford to buy another CD. This vista has been installed on the computer already when it was purchased... I am now using a pirated Windows 7

  Hello

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of Vista recovery disks, they need to do for a small fee.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  See you soon.

  PS You do not replace a computer again using Restore Points (you never said how this error came about).

  You press some combination of key at Boot to start Recovery: F10 or F11, Alt + F10 depending on the manufacturer of the computer.

• Impossible to uninstall Windows SteadyState or the opening of session "another user"...

  Hello, I recently tried Windows SteadyState to keep my PC to get banged by my nephew and my brother not so savvy in computer and download _ not knowing the source or if it has malware attached. in any case it was too complicated for me to understand, itself tried to uninstall it, it is not in the programs; used Revo Uninstaller, even deleted the files of the register... but it's ALWAYS THERE! I also tried to remove additional users added to the logon screen, to no avail... Any ideas?

  I am happy that we managed to get rid of these two files.  I installed SteadyState just to see what would happen and I also have another user on my login screen if it is not listed in the user accounts and so it cannot be deleted anyway, I know.  As long as it requires a name and a password (so not just anyone can get in), then I would probably just that it is--that's what I'll do (at least for now).  It is causing no harm and is secure.  You are probably right that SteadyState doesn't has not been uninstalled completely - perhaps reinstall it and uninstallling this new will do the trick.

  Alternatively, you can try posting in the SteadyState Forum: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowssteadystate/threads to see if they have any ideas or suggestions.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• HP Pavilion dv7-Recover Windows 7 without the disc

  I reinstalled windows 7 Home premium on my machine, using the same number as provided with the laptop (I found the serial number by downloading software that has scanned my computer and told me what it was).

  After you install windows, he told me that it was not authentic. I guess that's because it wasn't a version of Windows that brings together everything HP software pre-loaded on it. My hard drive still has a "recovery" partition, but I have no idea what to do with it, or even if I can do something with it more.

  So, how can I make my Windows 7 Home premium authentic? Do I have to reinstall another version of windows 7 Home premium with the included HP software? Where can I find this download? Because I don't have a recovery disk, can I use this partition "recovery" of my hard drive to something?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Hi crabbattle,

  The key for the original version on your PC only works with OEM of Windows versions.  You will need to use the key provided with the retail version of Windows you purchased, or use recovery on the PC software.

  You can access recovery by using the F11 key to the course of priming or order of the HP discs.  There is more info of recovery here.
