Install Windows with a different language mutation

Hello

I bought a second-hand PC, supplied with Windows 7 Pro Czech.

I would change the language en, the problem is, I do not have a disk or system recovery partition.

I ran the real test of windows and it happened.

I tried to download an ISO here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery but he said "produces unsupported, the product key you have entered seems to be the software that was preinstalled on a device." Contact the manufacturer of the software device for recovery options. »

I would like to know what are my options now, I have already booked the 10 Windows via windows update, but I really don't want to wait a month.

Thank you

First, back up installation current, just in case you need it in the future:

  • Re-install windows with a different disc copy

    I got a laptop with windows vist 32 bit. He has problems with it. Can I use my copy of the same windows vista from my pc at home to re - install a clean copy, but use the product on the mobile code number or do I have the original disc of the laptop to do?

    You must have the manufacturer specifice OEM disc. If your copy of the disc is exactly the same as what went with the laptop, you can use it.

  • OSXRESERVED do not deleted after installing Windows with Bootcamp

    I installed Windows 8.1 and upgrade to Windows using Boot Camp 10.

    I think that the normal procedure for installation (instructions Apple) should be:

    -Boot Camp will partition the original HDD system to:

    -Partition OS x 'reduced '.

    -OSXRESERVED partition to save all the installation Windows 8.1 or CD ISO.

    -TRAINING camp of hard drive where the final installation of Windows will be.

    -Once installation is complete (it took about 5 hours!) so it should be reconfigured by boot camp would exist only two partitions:

    -Partition OS x 'reduced '.

    -BOOTCAMP with Windows OS HARD drive.

    But I still 3 partittions in my MAC PRO END of 2013: OSX, OSXRESERVED and BOOTCAMP.

    So now, when I boot my MAC PRO instead of see 2 possibilities of OS (OS x and WINDOWS) I see three possibilities (OSX, WINDOWS, and WINDOWS again), and the third possibility is wrong, it will show the original installation Boot CDROM instead of Windows 8.1

    I hope that I have explained clearly (...).

    Second part of the problem: I want to use VMWARE FUSION and configure it to use the Bootcamp partition as a virtual machine (YES, with the MERGER it is possible to use as virtual bootcamp, then you can start your Machine Windows within the MAC, or boot from the beginning). The problem is that the MERGER will detect the OSXRESERVED partition, but not the BOOTCAMP partition... So I can't get it to work until I have the first problem...

    Would you please be so kind as to help (I would like someone to really expert Apple could give a solution).

    Best regards

    Francesc

    1. you can remove OSXRESERVED manually using disk utility.

    2 VMWare seems unable to distinguish between the installer and install BC. Once you delete OSXRESERVED, it should work fine.

    Hi guys!

    I have a Macbook Pro 15ich Early 2011 Intel Core i7 2 GHz 16 GB RAM disk 'Captain' with dual operating system, Samsung SSD 840 EVO drive, and HARD drive that came with the laptop is my auxiliary drive.

    I have two problems.

    (2) I can't do the Boot Camp with USB I did a DVD with an external DVD drive. I can make the partition, but my problem comes when my Mac reboots to install W7 and W8 and typical black screen of MSDOS with the underscore "_" appears flashes all the time. I waited for minutes, hours, day and the laptop do not respond.

    What can I do?

    During the installation of Windows Setup started and you have the screen which shows your partitions and to choose one, you choose your Bootcamp partition and click on Format of below the list of partitions? You must leave the configuration format the Bootcamp in NTFS partition before installing Windows actually.

  • Factory reset after re-installation of windows with a different key

    Hi all

    I bought a laptop HP dv7-7264ez, with 8 pre-installed windows ENVY.

    After installing linux and messed with the boot settings, I need to re - install windows. Because I had not burned an iso of Windows 8 or extracted from my windows product key, I asked a friend to to burn me a DVD with his version of windows (Windows 8.1 pro). I did a reset of the PC of the utility of windows with this new version.

    Now, I try to get my old version of Windows (normal, not pro) for reasons morals and because I can't "activate Windows" with the version of my friend.

    To create a Windows DVD, I downloaded the Microsoft tool and extract from my current product key with this tool. The problem is that the extracted key is the version of my friend and it is not valid to create a .iso for Windows 8.

    In other words, I need to get my original Windows product key!

    Is it possible to do a factory reset 'real '?

    Or y at - it a database with all affected Windows keys?

    Thanks for your help!

    You are the very welcome.

    You may need to install the driver sata for your model.

    Try this...

    Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed - 32 or 64 bit depending on the case).

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+RAPI...

    Extract the files on a usb flash drive.

    With the flash drive and the installation of W8 media plugged into the machine, boot from the installation of W8 media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and if this is the problem, install W8.

    There is no way I know of to recover the product key.

    It works with an OEM W8 as XP installation disc used for in ancient times.

    You had to match the installation media with the type of product key (OEM, sale retail or upgrade).

  • install windows with an authorization number 8

    Hello. Right now im running windows 7 but in two days, windows 8 will be released and I plan to buy it. the problem is that whenever I have install a program on my pc, I have to had to got in the file and I need to change the permisssion to this file and change the owner to myself (even though im an administrator...).

    I don't want to buy the winows 8 and realize that it won't install on my pc, so I just dropped t ask you guys if I get this error during the installation of windows 8 or it will work just somehow...

    Oh btw the permission, I have to do if the file is installed, the program files 86... If I install the users on it works finn...

    You don't want ALL the problems in the base operating system during the upgrade to Windows 8.

    Save your important stuff, personal files, etc. to external media (external hard drive is the best).

    Then, a "return to factory" install of your current operating system from the recovery partition.

    Then do the recovery disc for Windows 7 by following the instructions in the new facility. You will need these if you need or want to re - install Windows 7.

    After having done the above, your computer must be in stable and good condition for the upgrade process...

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery partition that allows to restore "factory".

    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 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.

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, restart and until that screen "Advanced Boot Options" appears, press "F8".

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

  • Windows 7 has not installed windows with the new installation games

    Hi all

    I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro, but I noticed that no games have been installed with it (Solitare, Minesweeper, etc.). What is happening with this? Are no games included with the Pro version or have not installed? How can I get back them?

    Thank you!

    Hello.

    By default the Professional SKU does not install any games.

    You can install them yourself by clicking on start-> Control Panel-> programs-> Windows features turn on or off. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience... I crawled off NNTP - for now.

  • Activate Windows with a different service pack.

    Can I buy a copy of Windows 7 Professional SP1 and use it to activate my Windows 7 Professional (no service pack)?

  • Motherboard has failed on the computer running Windows XP Professional. Can I replace the motherboard and re - install Windows with my product key?

    My computer was assembled by myself has worked for many years, the operating system is win xp pro OEM.  The motherboard has failed and I'm replacing it with a newer version, that is no longer available. I can re - install win xp pro using any win xp pro not oem and using original key to activate? I understand the oem rules as it relates to a registered oem (Dell, Acer, etc) but my oem copy was bought at retail and as far as I know is not related to a named oem. In fact, I'd say I'm oem as I made the original equipment.

    There is disagreement on that. I've seen people claim that if you change the motherboard, you essentially create a new PC (which would mean you would need another license as an OEM license can be used on a PC and never transferred to another).

    And then there are people who say that it is the OEM who decides what constitutes a new PC. I tend to support this point of view, personally. But there is disagreement.
    BTW, if you bought the OEM CD has no impact on the license.
    After installation, you may need the Microsoft phone to activate (in other words, if the activation over the Internet does not work).
  • Try to install Windows with Boot Camp 10

    I bought a license key Windows 10 and downloaded the file iso 64-bit and dragged to the desktop. Then I formatted flash drive 64 GB usb, attached to my Macbook Air 11 inches and used as my destination drive.

    Before that, I saw it.

    I've ignored, press OK, and he always let me continue.

    In this window, I pressed on without problem.

    After waiting for the download to be completed, I expected to see this. (because of YouTube tutorials)

    But instead, I got this window.

    Nothing except that the sentence that didn't make any sense for me was on the window and I was confused about what I was supposed to do next so I pressed quit and nothing happened.

    What I am doing wrong? Help would be nice.

    The first screenshot shows an error message indicating that your boot disk cannot be partitioned by BootCamp. The error tends to think it has already been partitioned by you who dislikes BootCamp. He peut indicate there is too little free space on the disk.

    install windows with the product key

    someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.

    or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.

    I thank you for your time and have a good day.

    If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition.  If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation.  At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.

    If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.

  • How can I install Windows 8 of my 1.5 TB external harddrive without formatting?

    Well I finally decided to move to Windows 8 (starting from Windows 7 x 64), but I'm stuck in a weird situation here...  I image .iso Windows 8 with me but I will not be burn on a DVD, the only option would be either use a USB key or an external HARD disk... Unfortunately my 16 GB USB DRIVE no longer works (and the .iso image file does not in my other USB drives I had remaining)... So I decided to use my drive external HARD on the contrary - but there's another problem... about 750 GB on my HARD drive is full (there are all my files, movies, music, games, etc) and the rest is 'empty '...

    So, how can I install Windows 8 of this external HARD drive without formatting? Since I don't have any other "spare" hard drives or USB keys with a lot more storage capacity...  And I can't keep them in my laptop because it has only 500 GB...

    Can I partition my external HARD drive and secure all my files in one partition, and format the other partition to use it to install Windows 8 on my laptop somehow...?

    You can create a partition on your HARD drive and install Windows inside with Universal USB Installer
    Here's how you create a new Partition
    • Open disk management
    • Right click on the partition that you want to split > Shrink > select size > Ok
    • Unallocated space will appear
    • Right-click on > Format give a letter

    OR you can install windows on a different partition from your internal HARD drive

    You can create a partition in the internal drive and extract files inside Windows and make it bootable with EasyBCD (3rd party free program to change startup options and other things)
    • Create a new partition using disk management
    • Extract the files to install Windows inside
    • Open EasyBCD > add new item > WinPE > search for X:\Sources\boot.wim > add
    • Reboot and choose the new element added to the startup in
    I used this method once and it worked
