Potential problem of product key to reinstall win - 7

I did a successful installation of Win 7 Home Premium in the D partition leaving Vista in the C partition, resulting in a dual boot and Win - 7 in a partition which is much too small.  I understand that if I blow the Vista partition C, my machine does not start and no recovery I know.  Disk Manager does not allow me to extend the partition D, space, I can release is not next to him.  So, how can I dig my self out of this.

If I do a reinstall of win - 7 in the C partition, will I have problems to register the product?  If so, who should I contact to fix this?

  • Product key to reinstall vista

    I currently have a functional pc with vista.  However I need to reinstall vista to fix some problems, but I don't have the original documents that came with my PC.  How can I get the product key or other codes necessary to reinstall vista from the recovery discs?  The disks were recently obtained from the bridge and do not have my key on them.

    Mike

    Hello

    Control Panel - system - the bottom of the page - can take a minute or two to appear.

    These other methods must also resolve the problem if needed.

    Your product code must be on the CD/DVD provided with the device or back/under the computer.

    If this isn't the case, they will find it for you. These are not cracks - they find your product key on your machine.

  • Where can I get the product key to reinstall Windows 8 on my WANT Sleekbook 6?

    Product: ENVY Sleekbook 6 (6-1110us)

    Initially, this laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8. I want to reinstall Windows 8, but a Virtual Machine, the breast so I can't use the bits of food with what he delivered.

    Appears that Microsoft has changed the terms of the license with Windows 8. See the next root thread: http://superuser.com/questions/517142/running-windows-8-in-a-vm-can-i-use-the-copy-that-came-with-my-laptop

    In addition, a rather good article exceeding the various changes in the terms of the license of the new Windows 8: http://www.zdnet.com/how-the-new-windows-8-license-terms-affect-you_p2-7000003028/

    They consider now a physical PC and a virtual machine to be * separated * computers. Since the preinstalled Windows 8 use an OEM license, this license cannot be moved between the "computers".

    For anyone interested in doing something similar (mobile Windows 8 in a virtual machine), you must purchase an additional license. Upgrade license or a System Builder should work.

    If you get a message that the product key is already in use then the next step is to use telephone activation. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  • Cannot find the product key to reinstall Vista

    I want to reinstall Windows Vista to clean my Toshiba laptop, but when I bought it, it came with the Windows Vista disc. When I searched the help options, they said I have a sticker on my laptop that has the product key to this topic. I'm sure that I have this sticker, but it is worn out, so I can't read the key top. Is there another way for me to recover this product key, so I can reinstall Windows Vista?

    Hello

    Key Finder programs are useless to use on the OEM of the computer like Toshiba, Acer, etc.

    They will only find a product key that is used on several computers during the Manufactuering which is of no use to you when reinstalling the operating system.

    These programs are only useful to find retail operating system product keys, which then can be used.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Follow these steps to reinstall Vista:

    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.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    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.

    With a Toshiba recovery process can be started by pressing 0 (zero) at startup. (Power on / start)

    This is Toshibs; has instructions on this subject.

    "How restore your laptop Toshiba to its state of charge software factory using system recovery"

    https://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletinDetail.jsp?soID=2737864&PF=true

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

    Hi JHoffman1947,

    The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is for the computer. If the computer is sold to another user, then the license is valid for the new user. The former user is no longer the owner of the license.
