• Brand new laptop does not come with disks of windows, I need to reinstall windows what/where/how do I?

  I bought 2 new laptops. Both come with Windows already... so, if I need to reinstall windows... How/where/can do?

  Hello

  For future reference, these are VISTA forums you want on the new laptops in.

  I suggest other questions about these laptops you ask in the correct Forums.

  Here are the General options of relocation for you:

  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.

  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.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  See you soon.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• How can I reinstall Windows 8 in my laptop if the hard drive broke down?

  I have a new laptop with windows 8 is installed (product key is embedded in the bios I think and no sticker license more on this subject).

  I just want to know

  1. How can I reinstall Windows 8 if the hard drive broke down

  and I don't have any medium of recovery and the warranty is expired

  2. is there any media can make me reinstall my windows 8?

  for example using the windows disk 8 OEM that can be brought in computer stores

  I know that windows 7 can.

  I'm looking for the key to the installation?

  I can in the future, faced with this situation. I hope someone can help me.

  Best regards

  I think most of the technicians know how to use a recovery partition, but the real problem for the recovery of Windows 8, it is each brand (oem) will need an installation disc for their particular model. We can install a Dell windows 7 cd on any PC OEM and after doing the updates, it will itself attest. With windows 8 you can even not windows to be installed on the PC if the disk you put in does not support security in the BIOS.  In other words, you need the proper (HP, Dell, etc.) model numbers version of Windows 8 recovery CD similarly be able to install it.
  If you are a system integrator or building a PC for yourself I think that the normal OEM cd should work as long as you you know number OEM KEY or product key. Its the BRAND PC which will be a pain in the buttocks in the future for technicians who have to reinstall Windows 8 on a VIRGIN hard drive AGAIN.

• I need to reinstall Windows 7 due to a virus infevtion.

  I am a computer repair for a lady who has a virus on his laptop computer.  I need to reinstall Windows 7 because it's the key it has on the laptop.  I have a Windows 7 CD. How can I make sure that its key will work with my cd?  It will detect automatically?

  Hi Tony -.

  If yours is the same version of the OS and the bitrate, so it should work.  Otherwise you can extract the ISO and unlock all other versions to choose yours during the install as explained in step 1 of Clean reinstall Windows 7 .

  However, if you get clean infection scanned after running those recommended in the Troubleshooting for Windows 7 steps and there is no file system damaged after execution of SFC (3 times if necessary), then you might be OK to continue to improve the performance of the other steps in this tutorial and if there is place to Clean Up Factory Bloatware.

  If you decide to clean reinstall Windows 7 then be sure to stick with the steps, tools, and methods that it contains which have been used by the 2 million consumers in various web editions of this tutorial without a single complaint.

  Do not hesitate to ask questions in return and let us know how it goes.

• What if I need to reinstall windows?

  I'm about to buy Photoshop CS5, but in the past I had problems with my system. If I need to reinstall windows (on the same machine) I'll be able to reinstall Photoshop?

  Kind regards

  John

  usually with the installations of Adobe, you get a limited number of activations in cases such as the failures of the system.  If you're simply halters

  relevant BONE because you want to freshen up your system, you will need to deactivate your license and reactivate it after reinstalling your OS and Photoshop.  But if a catastrophic failure takes precedence over your ability to turn off you will still be able to activate your license.  You can also always contact Adobe for installation problems that you would potentially and discuss your case so they can increase the limit of your activations on a case-by-case basis.

  The real purpose of the multiple activations must be used on secondary computers (e.g. laptops)
