my product key is no longer visible to windows 7 and I need!

I have installed the preview of windows 8 and want to go back to my previous version which is windows 7 and it has been already installed I don't have a cd for it and the product key is not visible on the bottom of my laptop.

Is the brand of my laptop: Hp Compaq Presario CQ62

My software is: Windows 7 (64-bit) Home Premium edition, but for now is Windows 8 Preview of consumer

Just download free generic ISO of Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium & install & update drivers according to the needs of HP driver support downloads then visit this thread to solve the activation.

2 benefits:

1 > no fees & no waiting for recovery media

2 > cleaner, faster more up-to-date install, much better than the installation of bloated HP & next to the installation of recovery default needless waste of hard drive space...

  • DVD/CDR is no longer visible in Windows 7 and unusable

    I don't know what I should do to fix this problem.  That's what shows when I go into devices and watch the cd I tried to restore the previous system, but that did not fix it.  It is in a Dell laptop running Windows 7, any help would be greatly appreciated that the DVD is not usable as is.

    Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19).

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    Hello

    That's what you're looking for if XP came preinstalled:

    The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

    If it is lost and you have wiped the hard drive, your only option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  • Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager)

    Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager).  I have reset Photoshop like application default for jpg files, rebooted.  Nothing has changed.  The ideas people?

    Hi R_Kelly,

    Hidden folder/file settings was the first place, I checked and kept checking each new reboot.

    I have copied below my temporary solution I posted in another forum thread.

    See point 7.  I found a way to make it visible again.

    1. I can see all jpg files created before Win10 update AND all the jpgs created by other programs, other than Photoshops after Win 10 update.

    2 Photoshop cannot see the newly created Photoshop created jpg files in the file picker at all since Upgrade to Win 10.  I've never had a problem of invisibility of file before winning 10 update.  My hidden files were always checked to be visible.  However, Photoshop can open if listed files in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

    3. the files are not visible or clickable at all in Windows Explorer tree or the Photoshop file selector. They become open and visible when listed in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

    4 Microsoft Office applications can't see the new Photoshop created Jpg files in file, only pre Win 10 update pickers jpg created by other applications and versions.

    5. the problem occurs only with Photoshop jpg created after the Win 10 update.

    6. I checked the settings "Show hidden files, folders and files of the operating system", and they remain as they were, which allows all the hidden to visible objects.  I kept the visibility settings files in this way since the early 1990s.

    Temporary fix below *.

    7. I did yet another simple search of the text Windows Explorer, he finds invisible jpg files less all links 'recently used' who were there yesterday (2nd day after I created the files), I checked the location of file properties file and it entered the original file I saved their.  Using a right-click of the mouse on the file to bring up the menu actions and file properties, I was able to copy and then paste the file into another directory.  I jumped on the directories to see if it remains visible and he (Yes). The new copy is now visible to the pickers of file in Photoshop and Microsoft Office applications.
