• My HP mini crashed today, I need to reinstall Windows 7 starter I have the product key

  My HP mini is a black screen and I do a new reinstall top can get instructions step on a clean install to start windows 7. I have my product key and and the external dvd drive to boot windows with. Is anyway that I can get help with this without charge for customer support.

  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 HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  If the recovery partition does not work, see the following resources:

• Replaced the hard drive on a G6 Pavillion. Need to reload Windows 7. I have the product key.

  I borrowed a windows disc 8 to begin the new hard drive. I was running Windows 8.1 upgrade of Windows 8 beta. I can't register the windows 8 OS with my Windows 8 update product key. Can I just load windows 7 from this point then reload the Windows 8 upgrade?

  Thanks for any comments.

• Hard drive is dead, it was loaded with a play version of XP, I have the product key but don't have XP disc and need to get a

  Hello

  My title says about the history. My hard drive (XP) died and the local tech confirmed is not a replacement value (it's an old machine).

  I have a MacBook and that you have loaded Parallels on it so that I can run Windows. Now I want to install XP on the MacBook, but I don't have the installation disc.

  1. is there somewhere I can download it from?

  2. once I have it loaded, my product key will work?

  3 anything else I should be aware of when to load XP on a MacBook?

  Thank you

  
  

  Thanks for the reply.

  I bought the laptop used on ebay from a company that has sold thousands of refurbished machines. I know that she buys lots of companies that no longer need them, wipe data, reinstalling Windows and then sell them. Installing XP is legitimate, because the laptop has a certificate of Authenticity on the back Microsoft.

  So I suspect that the Windows installation is not related to the motherboard.

  Other thoughts?

  Thanks again.

  It is quite possible that XP has been reinstalled on your computer using an OEM disc "generic" as well as your product key from the computer.  However, the product key itself is linked to the motherboard.

  For example, my son recently bought a used computer from a friend.  The friend had removed the original hard drive and replaced it with a smaller.  The computer has been a mess, but that's another story.  No installation disk came with the computer, however, it doesn't have the product key on the back of the case.  I replaced the hard drive with one more great I had on hand and then used an OEM disc 'generic' to reinstall XP, which works perfectly with the product key of the computer.  However, this computer must die, product key can be moved to any other computer.  The product key is the original computer motherboard.

  In short, a product key of your laptop if it is by the OEM product key, will not work on another computer.  No matter how legitimate the software's product key will not work on another computer, it is not transferable.  Product keys for the full retail version of Windows can be moved to another computer; However, the key to product can only be used on one computer at a time.  If the computer in question is delivered with Windows XP preinstalled, it is extremely unlikely that nothing else than the version the manufacturer OEM has been used.

• HP Mini w/new HD Windows Vista reinstalled needs. I have the product key but no installation media

• Vista crashed on the laptop, we have the product key, but no CD, if someone could advise solution?

  Hello

  My son has a laptop to school with original visa. It crashed. There only a product key but no CD. Is it possible to download original visa and use the product key and can start?

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.  None of the serial numbers or activation codes I have used in the past are considered to be "valid" at the entrance.  Help!

  Hard drives fail.  When they do, I have to reload all my programs on the new drive.  Everything goes without a hitch, BUT for ADOBE ACROBAT.  How can I get this program purchased a valid activation code or serial number?  I'm supposed to have a perpetual license, technical support function.  The Chat group is not able to help, for some unknown reason.  Adobe makes more difficult every time it happens for me to get the program run again.  Makes me want to switch to another program.  [email protected] is my email.  Thank you!

  your serial number is unchanged.

  Use the installation file of the program (acrobat 9 pro ext) that corresponds to your serial number.

• Lost my HARD drive and you want to reinstall windows

  I got an Acer TimelineX 4820 t. that has suddenly stopped working, it turns no more and they said that I may need to also replace the HARD drive. So I bought a new laptop, but it comes with windows 8 and I need Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (the one I got). I have the key that was on the Acer (at the back of the laptop). My question is: if I reinstall win 7 with the same key on the other pc? (dual boot) If not, can I get it for free? (legally of course)

  The preinstalled version of victory over death PC and its key on the label is valid only for the dead PC, its an OEM win version and can not be installed on a new slice of replacement/PC (or this key can be reused)

  Why do you need win7 Home Premium?, all programs that have been installed on the PC dead should also install on the new.

  You can't get a free win7 version, and its likely your preinstalled version of win8 didn't downgrade rights.
