• I need to format and reinstall XP Pro, but I don't have a cd or my key

  Product key number / reformatting

  Hello, I need to format my computer and reinstall XP Pro. I don't have the XP CD that came with the computer or the product key. I have an XP CD from another computer, though. Is it possible to extract the product key from the computer before formatting and use it with the other copy of XP? I don't want to get stuck in the middle of the format!

  Thank you

  www.magicaljellybean.com, download and run. This will show the product key.

  Your version of the operating system is likely OEM if it came with the computer. This key will not work with the software from another computer for this reason.

  You probably need to purchase a version of XP, somewhere.

• Reinstalling Windows Vista, but do not have the product key. How can I find?

  Install Vista on two machines
  OK, so one of my friends has Ubunto Linux installed on their system and they want Windows Vista back. I said I would do and use my disks of Vista OS (16 in total).

  Now, the fun is that it doesn't have the product key to its original copy of Vista so how I get it back?

  It had Vista installed on it before Linux, however based on a virus that Vista should be completely removed and Linux has been installed as an operating system that is temporary until we find Vista once again, since I'm the one with the OS disk, then we re-install it.

  So I'll be able to have my copy of Vista on two different computers?

  ALSO: Vista came with the computer when he brought it but no recovery disk (as they did with XP) has been provided.

  Hello

  1 No. you cannot use your product key on his computer and your computer: Installation is permitted with a license.

  And if yours is preinstalled (OEM license), you could not even give it Vista and consider your computer off.

  2. you can't find the product key for the operating systems pre-installed when the product key on the sticker is missing or lost; read this Information:

  The way around this is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send recovery discs to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

  While they are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the computer also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing them to save money.

  Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

  I have Photoshop CS4 and I need to reinstall from CD after a computer crash and reinstall Windows 7 but it will not reinstall.

  This could be to uninstall because it used entirely from the control panel of Windows 7.  Can anyone help?

  Uninstall what you can the normal way via the Control Panel, and then use the CS cleanup tool.  Then try to reinstall. You might want to try an installation download rather than the disc if it continues to fail.

• Formatting and reinstalling Windows without the recovery CD

  I don't have access to my recovery cd as I am currently overseas and I am trying to format and reinstall windows. What would be the best way to do this? The recovery CD is totally part of reinstalling windows?

  I don't want to just do the reinstall and find that I have no screen etc.

  Hello

  Well, if you have no recovery CD, you can install the Windows operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows. Then you can try to download all the required drivers will Toshiba from the Toshiba download page.

  But beware: you must update the drivers in the correct order. The drivers are placed in the right order, and it is very important for the new facility.

  Hello

  In your other thread, you said that your XP CD is damaged.

  The manufacturer normally gives you one way or the other to reinstall; not both.

  If you had a recovery partition, this is the information:

  2. Just after the first screen display (the display of the logo), press the F10 key repeatedly until a recovery menu appears.
  3. etc.

• Format and reinstall Windows 10 - Dell XPS 13 9343

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 13 9343 provided with windows 8.1 and I have upgraded to windows 10.
  I would like to format and do a clean install of windows 10 and after that to create a dual boot with ubuntu.
  I don't want to retrieve anything, just in any format.
  My question is:
  1. What is the best way to do it? Is there a preparation necessary before formatting (except backup)? If anyone can point me to a relevant detailed guide, it will be great.
  2. do I need to care that I want to install ubuntu in dual boot, when I format and install windows? Or just to install after windows is already installed?
  Thank you.
