Install as administrator but not Windows 8 installation discs.

Original title: Windows 8 without installation disks.

I was given an HP Desktop running Windows 8. The person who gave me the computer disappeared since and it has been implemented as an administrator. I understand that I have to reinstall Windows 8 to change the admin myself, but I do not have Windows 8 discs. Help How do I create boot discs would be greatly appreciated. I also perform regular backups, but need to know how safely save all so nothing gets lost. Should I remove Windows 8 before I can reinstall it? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize the installation discs

    Hello

    I have a problem, and I don't know if there is a solution, but here goes.

    My laptop is a HP DV6-7029WM Windows 7, 64 bit.

    The hard drive was dead, and he was replaced last month.  I sent it to HP.  C is the hard drive, and was originally the recovery on D. Removable media were on E, and when I connected a USB stick or memory card reader it would on F.

    When I came back, hard drive was on C as it was originally, and there was no recovery drive D. D is now my removable media drive. When I put in a USB stick or a memory card reader, which is now on the E drive.

    After I bought this, I put the recovery on a USB key, but I've accidentally thrown out. (My mistake) So I ordered the installation diskettes after that I return my HP PC.  I had 2 DVD system recovery disks and an Application and a recovery DVD Drivery.

    I want to reinstall Windows back to the default settings. I put disc 1 (System Recovery DVD) and close.  I reboot and it goes directly to the office. I hear the whirring disc, but nothing happens.

    I go to the control panel > Recovery > advanced retrieval methods. I click on restart, and it loads files and then says DVD set, which I do. He told me that he does not recognize the installation disc.

    I googled this problem and found a poster on CNET that had the same problem as I do. Also, I can't do a system restore.  My problem is the same as this poster on CNET.  I can read DVDs and CDs.  Those that work very well.

    http://forums.CNET.com/7723-19411_102-568059/Windows-7-installation-disc-not-recognized/

    The files are on the DVD, because I see them.

    I don't know what to do. Should I send my PC back? Can I do to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Windows XP disks are no longer manufactured or sold. You * may * be able to find a place with an old stock for sale, but it is not very likely. Close your only choice is to purchase a used copy somwhere (but I would avoid eBay, where any software you buy is probably hacked).

  • Where can I get a Windows Vista installation disc?

    My old Acer laptop crashed about a year & a half.  I bought a new laptop.  The other day I plugged it to see what would happen.  He came & the guest a insert the Windows Vista installation disc.  Where can I get this drive?  Windows Vista came pre-installed with the laptop, so I do not have a disk with him.  Acer does not know because the laptop is out of warranty.  They told me to take the laptop to a computer repair shop.  Well, I don't want to spend that much money to find out what was on the laptop when it crashed.  Any suggestions?

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    As you never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop Acer here is how to use the internal recovery Partition command which must be...

    "How do I restore my computer using the eRecovery Management program outside of Windows?

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.

  • HP8600 Server2003 shared printer will install in XP but not Win 7 profiles

    Printer is shared on a Windows Server 2003 box. The driver provided by the Web site does not work with Win 7 profiles, XP only. I found another issue even in the printer forum installation/configuration:here where a HP technician recommended to use the 990 c drivers. This solution did not work for me.

    The printer can be seen by areas of Win 7 and installed manually (only manually in sofar as to find the part and double click on the printer), but does not fill the devices section and printers automatically as it should.

    Errrmm... they are implemented this way to allow the server to manage the print queue. There is no working groups. It is on a domain.

    Often problems such as this could be solved through drivers HP Universal type but not in this case. I think we just return the printer and goes with those must have stable and drivers work.

  • Help! Boot Camp will not read my Windows 7 installation disc

    I need to repartition the hard drive on my Mac for Windows to give more space. I thought it would be simple but not.

    I am running OSX and using Boot Camp 4.0.1.  I made an image of my Windows side, saved the side Mac and was able to remove my original windows partition. Now, I'm trying to use create the new partition and install Windows 7 from the disc, I bought two or three years.  It does not create the partition because "the installation disc is not found." This drive worked perfectly the last time and was intact, sitting in its case, then there is no reason to be damaged. My player plays other discs.

    I missed a step somewhere? Do I need a new disk of Windows? I don't know how to replace my drive. I think that I bought on Amazon.  The ISO-image-on-a-USB option is not available. I'm stuck!

    If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.  I bought my son a video game for his birthday which works only on Windows.  The thing is HUGE. It not was not in these games when I did the initial installation or I would have allocated a lot more space.  I had no idea!  He was eager to try this new game.

    Thank you

  • iPad displays in iTunes but not Windows 7 computer menu

    I have an iPad 3rd Gen (Wi - Fi only) with iOS 9.3.5 and I just updated my iTunes to 12.5.1.21 64-bit.

    now, it will not be displayed in the windows for me transfer photos. but it appears in iTunes and I can see here, but I want to transfer pictures manually.

    in devices and printers, it is listed under Unspecified as Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. in Device Manager, it appears only as Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, and when I check the hardware ID, it is USB/VID_05AC & PID_12A4 & REV_0310.

    I uninstalled iTunes (and all the modules of Apple) and reinstalled, rebooted the iPad AND computer, tried stop and start the Apple Mobile Device service and MANUALLY install the driver in the folder files, as it says on the Apple site.

    am I missing something, or is iTunes 12 just broken?

    Hello darkflux88,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that your iPad is recognized by iTunes, but not by the Windows 7 system. I have three support articles that relate to your problem. The first is more relevant for the iPad being not recognized by iTunes, but also contains information for the Windows operating system. The other two relate more directly to Windows does not recognize is not the iPad.
