• Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 Home and use the old product key?

  Hello

  I got a laptop from a former employer who removed the hard drive before give me the computer.

  I installed a new hard drive and you want to do a fresh install.

  The previous operating system was Windows 7 Pro OA Enterprise Edition and I have the product key for it.

  Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 Home and use the old product key?

  and after that I still increases to 10 Windows using the same product key?

  Concerning

  Regrow72

  If you have plans to upgrade to Windows 10 Home, I would skip trying to reinstall Windows 7 and go directly to Windows 10.

  You can use your family Windows 7 product key to install Windows 10, learn how:

  How to install and activate Windows 10 using your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key

  Step 2: how: perform a clean installation of Windows 10

  If you are experiencing problems activating Windows 10, see:

  I recommend to go to Windows 10 now while you can, because Microsoft will stop the free upgrade offer at the end of July:

  If you still want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, please see:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

• Why does my OLD product key for my Windows7 Ultimate keep * appearing?

  Details: My laptop was, at the same time, Vista as OS. A professional, IT has put Windows 7 Ultimate on it and found out it wasn't a legitimate copy (after one year). I bought a 64bt Windows7 Ultimate play. (same as an old man) and read some instructions here on the forum and thought I had it all done correctly. I even returned & removed my old windows files on the C drive to clean all traces. At the end of installation, I entered my NEW product key and I received an e-mail confirmation that he had activated my Windows product.  Now, a few days later, I get a message asking me to activate my new operating system, and when I go to system properties, it gives me the same old product key I had prior to installation.  I tried to activate by phone, but I was told that it could not activate at this time according to figures that I provided.  I also received a message says "this product key has been blocked" (old)... But I can't know what I did wrong, or is something (programs) plays well on my OS. So I'm at a stand still. Question: I have transferred all my old files on my external hard drive and have not re * them installed yet.  Would it be possible that there is something in these files that makes my OS back to the former State?   Thank you!!

  Mr President.

  One of my clients purchased a new HP Envy 6 - 1150ex running integrated windows 8 64-bit a month ago. Unfortunately the HARD drive broke down by the improper use and must be replaced. I replaced the HARD drive, but I can't find the product key original of the laptop unless you have small windows on the laptop sticker. given that I don't have the recovery for the same model disk how can I install the genuine windows 8 manually by using the product key? where can I find the product key?  Please help me.

  Kind regards

  Yoyo

  Hello

  Should be no problem at all if you use the version of Windows 8 EVEN because the product key is now embedded in the BIOS of the machine. The process is to get the right installation of Windows 8 media (DVD, USB, downloaded file) and then install on your client computer. No label/sticker more for all new machines with Windows pre-installed 8.

• Upgrade Vista Basic Vista Home Premium with the old product key.

  When I bought my laptop, it came with Vista Home Premium installed. I had to wipe my HD and reinstalled Vista using the diskette provided me by Dell, but the version they gave me was Vista Home Basic. Is there a way to upgrade to Home Premium with pay them for it because I bought the license when I first bought my computer?

  Contact Dell on them giving you the wrong recovery disk...

  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

• Old product key does not work, he wants just a new... I have not one and not buy a new...

  My computer broke down 2 times... and get very frustrated... now, I have no office, it was ask the product key and I put in what I have, he wants a new... I don't have one. I'm not a geek... I need help please. I have HP a6244n PC, Vista Home Premium. I'll tell you the first time, it crashed, it was because I tried to update from Microsoft and removed my Navidia graphics card, so now I have more than everything. One of my friends has reinstalled a different system? or whatever, I would like to than my vista back... I think he put xp over there...

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Reinstall the appropriate Operationg system provided with your computer.

  Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html

  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 way of doing recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.

• Try to reinstall windows 7 on another computer with the old product key

  My computer has 7 starter and windows 7 upgrade system intalled. It crashed and no longer works.  I talk to technicians of Microsoft and they say its ok and will work - transferring the operating system windows 7 on my laptop current used. Well no dice, after my product key for them, Microsoft gave me the run around. Last night when I spoke with them, they said that a discount price was available because I made the original purchase for her. Is happening here? Should I buy windows 7 again?

  I guess you try to use the upgrade license.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Always try the following:

  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.

• Can I use an old product key to activate another windows 7?

  Recently, master of my old laptop broke down and I bought a new laptop. However all data and files I need are still in the old hard drive so I want to continue to use the old hard drive. (It is also bigger than new btw: p)

  Probably because of the double-system(Windows 7 together with Ubuntu), I can't start Windows when I directly connect the old hard drive on my new laptop.

  Now, I want to know if I could format the Volume of C of the old drive and re - install Windows 7 because I'm afraid that I can't turn it on again. Moreover, it is sold at retail Windows 7 Professional.

  Can someone help me with this? Thank you very much!

  If it is indeed a complete Windows 7 Pro commercial license, then you should have no problem of reactivation in the new machine - however, there may be problems with the drivers and you should check the Web site of the manufacturer for the appropriate drivers for Windows 7

  You may need to use telephone activation.
