It is possible to reinstall Windows 7 using the Windows 10 software, in which I would buy and use?

Original title: problem of Installation of Windows 7.

Hello

Recently, my computer has not been doing any internet access and I thought to reinstall Windows 7.

But I can't do that because I lost the disc and key product :( (shock)

So I thought I would buy a new one, but with Windows 10.

So I have two questions:

It is possible to reinstall Windows 7 using the Windows 10 software, in which I would buy and use?

If I decide to buy online, some say it's downloadable, how can I reinstall it without using a CD?

No, Windows 7 and Windows 10 require unique product keys and their respective installation files.

If I decide to buy online, some say it's downloadable, how can I reinstall it without using a CD?

Windows 10 is available as a digital download:

Buy Windows 10 family/professional edition

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?

  • Is it possible to reinstall Windows XP on the desktop of our family by using the i386 folder in my laptop XP installation?

    Hewlett-Packard Windows XP edition my family family computer from office worked very erratic recently and the resettlement of old CD provided by the reseller of the computer do not work because we have improved the system video card, motherboard and power supply. In addition, the system runs very slowly, the resolution suddenly returned to a low resolution (we cannot set to a higher resolution, regardless of how hard we try), and the sound on the PC does not work correctly. I should add that we have the copy of Windows is legitimate and has been installed by the computer gurus in a store of the local computer. I don't know how they have reinstalled Windows, but we do not have functional installation for Windows discs.

    I'm no computer expert, but it's my suspiction that malware detected by Microsoft Security Essentials on the computer during a full crawl may have done havoc on computer files and corrupt drivers and other essential records and files before being detected and deleted by the anti-virus software this last.

    While I looked on the World Wide Web for a solution to our problem, I found a few sites that said that Windows can be reinstalled utiilizing from the i386 on the computer record. I looked for the folder on the desktop of my family, but nothing helped. Several records with that name, but I couldn't find the winnt.32 files in these folders. Just out of curiosity, I searched the i386 folder on my netbook Windows 7 Home Premium and found, but it seems to relate to my previous installation of Windows XP. My question is, it is possible to reinstall Windows XP on our bureau a copy of the i386 on my netbook, if we have the Windows XP product key that came with our office?

    P.S. If the latter does not work, is it possible to borrow a disc to install Windows XP Home Edition to a friend / relative if we have the product key for Windows XP Edition family?

    Hello

    You have a product key for Windows XP Home edition retail?

    If you have a product key for Windows XP Home edition retail, you can borrow the installation of Windows XP Home edition disk, install and then try to activate it.

    If you have the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) product key, you can contact the PC manufacturer for a specific recovery for the system disk.

    In response to the question "is it possible to reinstall windows 8"? Yes, "If you did the recovery set when the PC was new.  If you don't have that, then ordered from HP for one low price.  I'm not an authority on Windows 8, but what I read, you won't find the product keys for Windows 8 hidden bone, unlike earlier versions of Windows.

  • What happens when you reinstal XP OS with the cd that takes me to service pack 2 and I'm at service pack 3

    I bought TurboTax and downloaded, but can I have downloaded previously because I was unable to install due to the previous installation.  After that 2 hours of phone support with TurboTax including screenshare, they stated that the problem lies in the registry. It was damaged and I had to reinstall my OS.

    What happens when you reinstal XP OS with the cd that takes me to service pack 2 and I'm at SP3?

    I finally found my OS reinstall CD, but it's waaaay above my comfort level... what I do now.

    Frankly, if TurboTax is causing this much trouble, I would use another company as the income tax act.

    Of course, you can reinstall Windows. It's a shame, if that's the only way to solve this problem. :-(
    For later use, it is sometimes necessary to download the installation file, physically disconnect from the Internet, set up a clean boot (using msconfig startup diagnosis), reboot and THEN install the large program (and then undo the clean boot, reboot and re-connect to the Internet).
  • Is it possible to reinstall Vista OEM on the HP laptop after using the Norton Ghost software?

    Hello

    I'm in a bit of trouble. Please help me. In 2007, I bought a HP laptop which of course came with a preinstalled Windows Vista. My friend did a back-up for me using Norton Ghost. Now I do not use Ghost. I would like to re - install Windows Vista on a CD and save by using the product key given in the back of my knees (OEM - his name I guess). Since I use all the same material I hope it will be accepted but I'm not sure. My question is if it will work? Is it legal this Windows already registered in my name for 3.5 years. Please help me and answer me.

    It is also possible to download Windows Vista from www.microsoft.com?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards.
    Abid.

    As long as you use the same reinstall OEM or restore DVD (Vista is too big to fit on a CD) initially provided with the laptop, you will have no problem.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to reinstall Windows without a disk?

    original title: reinstalling Windows without a login

    Hi all

    My brother has changed his password on his computer (Windows Vista Home Basic) and now he don't remember it. He didn't have a password reset disk.

    We tried to make a password reset disk to another computer and try to use it on his, but he failed.

    I read that there is also an administrator account on the computer in safe mode. This has been proven false on his computer, as well.

    Finally I found that if you re-install Windows then it would work. This has not been tried still for reasons given below, hense why I ask here.

    We do not have a Basic Windows installation disc, because we have not improved. It's a phone, too good.

    Is it possible to re - install Windows another way, and if so, how do you do that?

    Please keep in mind that we do NOT have the installation disc, and we can NOT connect to any.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • Reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium on your friends computer and impossible to activate

    So a while a friend died and I got his laptop. It came as a Windows 7 Home premium, but he did not like Windows and it has switched to Linux. I switched it back to Windows, but I just use a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium, I already had, leading to a "non-genuine" version of Windows. It has been so for a while now and the message "Activate Windows now" slows down the initial start-up; I can't put a wallpaper I was just wondering if it is possible to get an another record since the original key is taken on a technical level. If it's useful, 'caught', original product key on the sticker of the laptop is {deleted}

    Original title: activation (?) Windows 7

    If you still have the sticker / product key that belongs to this laptop then try the following:

    (A) If you have used the Home Premium edition you drive "had", if it is a version of "Retail" (not a recovery from another PC disk) then:

    Open a prompt (run as administrator) and type the following at the command prompt:

    slmgr - upk (press the Enter key)

    slmgr - ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (where XXXXX is your product key and press the Enter key

    slmgr - ato (and press the Enter key)

    Leave command prompt it a check to see if Windows is activated.

    (B) If you used a Home Premium recovery disc that belongs to another PC, you should reinstall Windows and activate using the product key that belonged to your laptop from a friend.

    (1) download the Windows 7 proper. ISO file that includes Service Pack 1
    (Note: must match for your product key version)

    How do I know if I have a version of 32 or 64 Bit of Windows installed on my computer:

  • How to reinstall windows vista on Lappy which is preinstalled?

    I have Thinkpad R400 preinstalled Windows Vista SP1.

    Due to software problem (suddenly froze after 2-3 min to boot) I did a factory reset. Contributing to the frozen problem but brings a lot of other problems.

    Problems-
    01 after reset, some programs don't go out. Clicking on it shows "invalid path".
    2. opening a file creates a separate window, although opening in the same window settings in 'on '. I found a solution on the internet IE "actxprxy.dll" activation through cmd. This is useful.
    3. turn the button to "auto update" and "Windows defender" does not work. I mean after clicking it shows it will turn on but stays the same.
    4. There is a problem with the installation of other software.
    5. after each start up brightness down by half. I have to manually increase.

    Now, I decided to reinstall vista, but I have no cd of restoration or cd of the OS.

    There is a product id to the Lappy back.

    I can use it at installation time?

    Some back-story to my question:

I used my old product key on the underside of the laptop and it worked fine. After installation, I found I was missing several base drivers. Since then, I found a lot of important drivers (wireless, its drivers, etc), but several of the 'minor' escape me because quite simply, I don't know how to describe the issue that I have without them to Google. For example, my mouse pad is no longer scrolls when I slip 2 fingers down it at the same time, some site images do not load at all and rather simply show a torn file icon (I don't know if it's the associated driver, but it started after reinstall) etc.

    I want to avoid these problems when I reinstall Windows on my sluggish office. Is there a good way to know what drivers I need? A list my computer can generate or one list of drivers ' required/normal' and other, I need? Or even a list someone else online of pilots, that everyone should have to use their computers to their full potential? I know that all computers have hardware different and like, but perhaps a general list of things you need to get with a new installation (that is to say, "get your graphics, sound, image,... drivers to a minimum, while that [insert here things] is recommended as well").

    Alongside this, is there anything that this is another important thing I should remember to do when you install a new copy of windows?

    Thanks, I know it's a bit of reading.

    Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific brand and model number.

    If there is no driver, your PC may not work correctly (No. LAN or WiFi, Audio, USB, etc.) after the installation of Windows 7.

    If there are Windows 7 drivers, then to download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, starting with the card drivers mother/chipset, LAN, Audio, USB, Graphics, SATA, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

    I tried to format the C drive and then reinstall Windows Vista using the windows reinstall disk but I couldn't start in it. I restarted my computer, press the F12 key and selected boot from cd/dvd, but the computer still started in windows. My computer is Dell. If there is no solution, it is possible to reinstall windows without using the disc?

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  • Is satellite Z930 - possible to reinstall Win8 after deletion?

    Hello
    I bought a computer (Z930, SSD 128, 6 GB RAM) with 8 Windows pre-installed, and I want to delete windows 8 and install windows 7, for which I have the license.
    My question is:
    1 - is possible to completely format the hard drive to install a "clean" Windows 7
    2. After you have done that, it will be possible to reinstall Windows 8 USB recovery media that I created.
    2. is a problem installing Windows 7? (on the new UEFI; piece of equipment...)

    Thank you

    to clarify my question on reinstallation of Windows 8: if I delete all partitions on my hard drive, will it still be possible to use the USB recovery media material I created? is any partition necessary for support of USB recovery

    Hello

    Last week I tested it on my Satellite U940 and my answers are the following:
    > is it possible to completely format the hard drive to install a "clean" Windows 7
    Yes.
    > after doing this, it will be possible to reinstall Windows 8 USB recovery media that I created.
    Yes.
    > Is Windows 7 installation problem? (on the new UEFI; piece of equipment...)
    Generally no, it isn't a problem. Only problem may be installing some drivers, tools and utilities, but I think that you will be able to install it.
