• Download windows 7 and install it with own real key

  I have a computer dell laptop with windows 7 home installed on it with the genuine key. Now I want to reinstall windows 7 on my system as a hard drive got corrupted and I have not any recovery dvd with me. So now can I download windows 7 ultimate home on microsoft's site and use my key to install on my system again.

  Hi Vivek

  Thanks for your posting in Microsoft Community

  You do not mention if you had preloaded OS from dell

  If the machine is under warranty and the HARD drive has been corrupted then Dell will provide again new HDD with Os

  the disks are independent keys. So if you're victim is telling the truth, you can someone else drive and simply type your key when it asks for this step.

  Or on the Microsoft site, you can get in contact with them in order to obtain another copy of the discs (I don't know how much they charge).
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  I would not recommend upload images potentially illegal discs on the internet, you don't know if they are authentic or viruses.

  hose is potentially customized Windows to predict that the manufacturer (in this case dell/alienware).

  You can use another disk, if they bought the same product that you have purchased.

  So if you actually bought Windows then it would be the same.

  But your friend didn't buy Windows at all, there is nowhere on his desk where he gives money to Microsoft. What they buy is a dell (and Dell gives a dell means windows)

• Move from Vista to Windows 7 AND transfer on a different hard disk operating system

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit and in the same movement of time the OS Vista Home Premium 32-bit & a Seagate 80 GB HARD drive to two 250 GB hard drives in a RAID configuration. I intend to replace the 80 GB HARD disk with a faster drive Windows XP, so I find myself with a dual-boot system.  Apart from the exchange of small hard drives, the system will be unchanged compared to when I activated Vista.  Since it seems I have to reinstall all the programs on W7 in any case (damn and the breath), I wonder if it will be necessary (for reasons of product activation) or useful (for operational reasons) to first clone Vista to the larger players. I am aware that Seagate provides cloning software, also free that 250 GB seems a little bit today - but he will do well while this PC is still working. In case it is relevant, the Vista is OEM (I built the PC and I bought Vista with the motherboard), but I will get the retail version of Windows 7.  Most experts with thanks...

  Hello
   
  We cannot move the operating system from one hard disk to another. However, we can install the operating system on another hard drive or take the whole operating system if necessary system image backup.
  NOTE: You'll have to do a custom Setup to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
  Windows Backup gives you the opportunity to create a system image, which is an exact image of a disk. A system image includes Windows and your control panel, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration; You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten.

  What is a picture file http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25129  
  I was going to wipe my hard drive and reinstall the operating system on my machine, but I don't have the original CD supplied with my machine.
  I was informed by a representative of Microsoft Answers to contact the manufacturer of my machine because windows was preinstalled. After contacting the manufacturer of my machine, the representative told me that I could buy a Windows XP installation CD and install Windows XP on my machine.
  Is it possible to download Windows XP Home Edition / Service Pack 3 on a website and burn it to a CD and then use that CD to reinstall the Windows XP operating system on my machine? That's what I need http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25129
  Thanks in advance for your answer.

  NO, you can not do what you plan to do.

  The files available for download called "Windows XP Service Pack 3" are updated to a full installation of Windows XP.  You can either download an ISO (or 'image') - which is what is your link - or executable file (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24).

  The ISO file or image is used to create a CD using software able to do this, for example ImgBurn(free).

  In both cases, what you get is the 'service pack' and not the full Windows operating system.

  You need a Windows XP installation CD.  It may be 'gold' (as originally published) or you can find one that integrates the service pack 1 or service pack 2 or service pack 3.  If you get a pre - sp3 installation CD, you will need to update the installation soon after installation.  You can go from sp 1 directly to sp3 without need to install sp2, but if you get an installation CD "gold" you first need to install sp 1 or sp2 before installing sp3.

  Because Microsoft stopped selling Windows XP some time ago, real installation CD are becoming harder to find.

  Although the representative of the manufacturer of your computer is correct that you could buy a Windows XP installation CD and install it, the manufacturer was hired by its license from Microsoft to provide you with a method of re-installing Windows when you purchased the computer.  This may have been a restore partition hidden on your hard drive or a CD/DVD that came with your computer.  I guess that you have lost or damaged what was initially provided so the manufacturer is more able or do not want to replace it with a CD.
