    Hello

    You will need to purchase a license/disk/upgrade Windows 7 product key.

    Microsoft sells more Windows 7 and you would have to buy from Amazon, etc.

    There was a free upgrade offer, but it expired a long time ago:

    "The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »

    __________________________________________________

    There is no Vista SP3; SP2 has the latest Service Pack for Vista and will be the last.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • There is no recovery of replacement key account ID apple under the Security section.  How to make a new recovery key number?

    In the support section for a lost 'recovery' for two-step verification key, he pointed out that a recovery of replacement key can be generated on account of ID apple under the Security section.  However, it is not located there.  How can I make a new recovery key?

    Thank you.

    I just checked https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage and it shows (for me) after I click the button Edit in the Security section. Two possibilities - 1) this is the bottom of the screen on my screen so I need to scroll down to see it and 2) If you scroll further down after clicking on the button Edit in the Security section, does show that the two-step verification is on?

  • IQ524: find product key number

    I have an IQ524 all-in-one computer, I received the computer with Vista and a few months later I received a package of HP discs for windows 7, in which I installed quickly. I want to install windows 10. I just found out that I can go to Cnet, who sends me to the download site. At first, I couldn't find my product key, the key that I have on my computer is only 20 letters and numbers for a long time. I found the product key number 25 on the back of my computer, but I guess is for the Vista operating system.

    The package of disks for windows 7 OS have no numbers on it what so ever, so I have no idea what product key number and I don't think I've ever had that number. Where can I find or is it possible to get another number product key for windows 7, so I can install Windows 10 on my computer? Now that I think about it, do I need a product key number (for windows 7) I got the number for Vista?

    Thanks in advance...

    Fred

    From what I understand, the upgrade to Windows 10 does not require that you know the product key for Windows 7.  Until Windows 7 is functional and active, then you are good to upgrade to Windows 10 using the update function M$.

  • I need windows re-enstall on the new HD key.

    My laptop hard drive is defective new hard drive brought the same as before, but I need again to enstall windows, I have the key number etc. on the computor but how can I do?

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

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

    They should do this for a small fee.

    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.

  • Windows 7 copy authentic no - need to buy the new product key

    I was given a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, who worked for a while. Now, he said that the product key is not authentic.

    I know that I have to buy a new product key, but could I buy a version upgrade, or do I need the full version of rebuy? I also would be able to simply enter the product key for it, or I have to reinstall Windows 7?

    I also have a copy of Microsoft Office 2007, which has been installed on the maximum number of computers. Then I must also buy another version of 2007 or he'll be fine once I have Windows 7 rebuy?
