  If you still want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, please see:

  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:

• Windows activation - new hard drive and reinstalled Windows, but will not work with the product key

  Hi all

  My hard drive died so I put a new in and installed Windows on a drive, but when I have just activated and put my product key does not work. In fact, I get this day by putting in and then it says character not aloud.

  Please can someone help? All I've done is put a new hard drive in but guess that Windows detects that the product key has been used on the old, which explains why it won't work on the new. What should I do to activate the key?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Thanks a lot for your useful replies. I've got in contact with Microsoft and they gave me a key and it worked!

• Reinstalling Windows Vista, but do not have the product key. How can I find?

  Install Vista on two machines
  OK, so one of my friends has Ubunto Linux installed on their system and they want Windows Vista back. I said I would do and use my disks of Vista OS (16 in total).

  Now, the fun is that it doesn't have the product key to its original copy of Vista so how I get it back?

  It had Vista installed on it before Linux, however based on a virus that Vista should be completely removed and Linux has been installed as an operating system that is temporary until we find Vista once again, since I'm the one with the OS disk, then we re-install it.

  So I'll be able to have my copy of Vista on two different computers?

  ALSO: Vista came with the computer when he brought it but no recovery disk (as they did with XP) has been provided.

  Hello

  1 No. you cannot use your product key on his computer and your computer: Installation is permitted with a license.

  And if yours is preinstalled (OEM license), you could not even give it Vista and consider your computer off.

  2. you can't find the product key for the operating systems pre-installed when the product key on the sticker is missing or lost; read this Information:

  The way around this is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send recovery discs to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

  While they are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the computer also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing them to save money.

  Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

  See you soon.

• Reinstalling windows 7. How to get my product key.

  I upgraded from xp to win 7 hp.  After many years my win 7 is originally closing down.  Something is damaged.  My product key number that is displayed under system information is two short in the amount of numbers and I don't have the cd or the case.  I can't seem to get information from windows if I have registered my computer or software, and really just need to re-download the 7 and reinstall.  Is their any other way to get my product number.  I purchase the software.  my product key is short 4 didgets

  Post proposed by the host to the appropriate forum category. The topic is edited to add clarity.* *.

  If you "improved" from XP to Windows 7, you very probably made a clean install by using a copy of Windows 7 retail.  In this case, if your Windows 7 system is still operational, there are several free programs that are able to recover your product key.  Try BelArc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

  Download a copy of the ISO Windows 7 installation file can be a little more difficult.  Because you (apparently) a retail product key, you may be able to get a copy here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7 but what I saw, the site often fails entirely, or only provides options for versions of languages other than English.

  You can also use Microsoft Windows and Office tool to download ISO - HeiDoc.net

• Help! My Windows 7 updated and deleted from my product key

  Last night my previously genuine Windows 7 update, this morning, it prompted me to enter my product key code.  Of course, I don't know where this piece of paper is gone.  I tried to go back to a previous one except point (and uninstallation of the update).  But always required the key code.  Help!  I'm not ready to move to Windows 10 again.

  When you upgrade, what will happen is that (your PC) hardware will get a digital right, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. Genuine Windows 7 Professional license will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.

• If I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate Home I own two product keys?

  My desktop came with Windows 7 Home edition. I later updated to Windows 7 Ultimate directly from the Windows itself (via an online purchase). So my question is, I own two product keys: one for home and one for the ultimate, or is it the same key? And if I have two, can I install Home edition on my another desktop?

  No, if you used an upgrade version, you don't have that one license,
  two. This is the result of using an upgrade rather than a full version
  version and this is the reason why a version upgrade is cheaper
  that a full version.
