• Six years old copy of Windows 7 Professional now is more authentic.

  I bought my copy of Windows 7 Professional from NewEgg some time in 2009.  I then installed on my new computer and have used it several times since then to make fresh re - installs due to drive failure hard, either because I bought new equipment.  I recently got a new SSD and decided to seize the opportunity to make an another re-install.  I've never had any trouble activating after each installation in the past, but this time, no matter what I do or how I'm trying to activate it, I said repeatedly that this copy of windows is not genuine.  I tell you what, however.  I have 2 drives (32 bit and 64 bit) in a package of upgrade of retail with a valid product code.  (I can provide pictures if necessary).  I tried to validate using the tool Microsoft online without success.  I used the phone app and the app assisted voice online with the same results.  Is someone can you please tell me how I can restore the validity of my copy of windows.  Thank you

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
  Once downloaded, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.

• I need a full copy of Windows 10 Pro

  I have a P910 ThinkStation second on command, and I need to have a full copy of Windows 10 Pro on a flash drive in the event of another disaster.

  I have not received response from Levono people other than "they don't like to provide. I have already restore Flash Drive, and my experience with her judge is not an acceptable alternative.

  Thank you for your help, Bob

  Microsoft was transferred to a delivery of download-only for Windows 10. Your choice is either by calling Lenovo help for support of physical recovery as mebsterbball suggested, or you can download Win 10 media directly from Microsoft and use the integrated in your BIOS license key to install.

  If you want to follow the way of download, you get this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

  Edited to add: Microsoft Download you will get the full version without recovery tools, drivers or software provided with the recovery of Lenovo. Looks like you're simply wanting to do a clean install. In this case, you want to go on the road to download.

It's the OS that was on it. I can burn it to a cd if necessary, I just need to find it. Can anyone help?

  You must not only find Windows XP Professional-, but a version of OEM Windows XP Professional, or you can google to find out how to edit the setupp.ini and create a new CD.

  Beg/borrow from a friend or acquaintance of the nice information technology a copy of the CD.  I wouldn't trust to a lot of places where you might find online.

• Strange WARNING I need to Suspect 'Activate my copy of Windows' is a virus comeon. Has anyone ever received it?

  When I started my computer there was a warning that I have "activate this copy of Windows. I am wary because my copy of Windows has been activated when installing several years ago. The screen that told me this does not appear be an authentic window Ms. It's rather ordinary. I refused and my regular desktop came.  I do not want to release a virus. Windows does this from time to time. I checked the regular update of Windows, and he told me the same thing. I need to install Active X again. I'm still hesitant. Has anyone ever had this warning from Windows? It is authentic.

  Hello

  There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

  If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

  • Pay Sony for media recovery
  • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

  If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

  .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

  Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

  If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

  If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

  My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

  I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

  • The legality of this is, at best, questionable
  • If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

  Tricky

  Hello!

  I had a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 for quite awhile and discovered that I need a new facility (the computer refuses to Windows to run at all).

• Need to download & install a new copy of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit for strongly modified pc OEM

  Original of the hard drive has crashed, please download & install a new copy of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on new SSD. I updated day/has replaced most of the OEM parts to 4 + years except for the motherboard, power supply, & tour. I don't have the old parts, sort of recovery disk installs not successfully because of all the improvements. Have drivers for devices newer than all existing parts on a USB ready when necessary. OEM is telling me to go up the PC with its original components to make it work, and I really don't need all the unnecessary software OEM includes in their recovery disk. Microsoft Download site does not allow me to download from a pc OEM product key. How to solve this? I'm always in the respect of the Windows license agreement, so I don't have to pay for it.  Please advise, thank you

  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:
