    clean install. A new installation by formatting the

    I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

    If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    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 LG, 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.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

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

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    I was able to update the BIOS on my Windows 10 install with upgrade download BIOS in Windows 8. Simply install as you normally would, and be patient for the machine to install.

  • Laptop comes with Windows 7 installed - but no software disc to use later

    I just bought a HP laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed on it.  He came with a disc of Windows 7 - just installed on the computer.

    I'm not an expert in the terminology of this now, so bear with me!   In the past when I went to computer technology.  Sometimes, they cleaned my hard drive and reinstalled windows from scratch software.  I think it was to clean etc.

    I contacted HP and that they sent me a few disks system recovery, but that's all.  No disk Windows 7 program.

    I know that I have the license under the mobile number, but from what I've seen online there are no Windows software, you can simply download and then use your own license number with her.

    So, how can I get the full program to use (from scratch rather than "recovery")?

    I hope you know what I mean...

    Thank you

    Hello

    The recovery discs you sent by HP include the installation of your Windows 7 operating system and all the software original that came with your laptop.  So, for example if you were to replace the hard drive at some point in the future, these discs will reinstall the OS + all of your software on the new drive.

    Kind regards
