Lost my disc Windows 7 Ultimate and have to re - activate. Can Microsoft support it look for me?
I lost my CD of Windows 7 Ultimate and my motherboard got fried by a wave when lightning strikes near my house. After a new motherboard, processor and installed memory, she asks me to turn it back on and I don't have the key. As I have previously activated this product, Microsoft cannot pick up and tell me what it is? I wouldn't buy a license just because I lost the drive, should I? Isn't that part of the reason why we register and activate in the first place? I can't afford to buy it again!
Any suggestions?

- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
If SFC detects serious flaws, you may need to perform a repair upgrade Installation or relocation complete if you don't have a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

Use and upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate and professional from another country
As part of a plant from South Africa, India, we have 3 desktop computers loaded with 1No. Windows 7 Ultimate and 2 amendments. Windows 7 professional OS. Can I use these desktop computers with operating system existing in India? Can I use the opportunity for these OS upgrade to WIndows 10 of the India?
It should not be a problem. In fact you can be upgraded servers anywhere in the world of. Just because you are in a given country does not mean that you get the upgrade from there. Microsoft balance the load on their servers so if in your country is busy other countries will be used
Good luck

I am XP user window (home addition) and have recently experienced a problem open a document created with Microsoft Word. I saved the file, he sent, and trying to open it it does not allow me to do. I get a pop up saying - bar FILE CAN BE USED BY ANOTHER APPLICATION, or FORMAT of FILE CAN NOT NOT BE supported BY any OF THE INSTALLED CONVERTERS OR THE FILE is maybe DAMAGED. After you click ok in the pop-up a white prosser page for Microsoft word opens. I'm trying to accomplish creating a coupon for my wife to be able to post to its customers by e-mail.
It may be in a format that Word can not handle. They are files DOC, DOCX, XLS or or something else?
There is an update available for the words to open the DOCX files.
Or you may need the free viewer for Word or Excel Viewer.

I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.
Hello
OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.
An OEM license is not transferable.
And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.
There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...
You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.
See you soon.

Windows 7 Ultimate and Lotus SmartSuite
I use a Dell Studio 1737 that came with Vista. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Pro and used the Lotus SmartSuite 9.8.1 without any problem. I had to change the hard drive and installed a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate. I installed all my programs without any problem except for the Lotus Suite. When I try to install it, I get a message "error access registry systems", and the program does not load. Any suggestions? I use the Smartsuite on my desktop that came with Windows 7 Home without any problems. Frank Hick
Try this:
Insert the installation media in the drive. Do not access the disk with autorun. Stop smoking. Use Windows Explorer to install using setup.exe.

Photosmart C4580 installed on Windows 7 Ultimate and it won't work!
Software installed on Windows 7 Ultimate and I can do everything except printing! When I ask for an example, I see a blank page and the printer does not print. All downloaded from the HP site and I'm tired of installing the update (CPE_SLP_NETWORKMSI_hpcom_000_006) because I don't think it's the solution because I tried several times and now I installed a version of Windows for the fourth time and I won't do it again. Can someone please help?
With the help of HP customer care, I solved the problem! Problem is that the new installation of Microsoft was not correct. I never formatted the disk before the installation of new, and that was the problem. Thanks for the support!
