Product code but no disc
A friend gave me his laptop to fix as he wasn't starting. Turned out that his hard disk was completely dead. I had a new hard drive and put it in his laptop. However, I asked him if he has the windows disk and it does not work. The computer is running windows 7 Home premium and I have the product key (on the bottom of the laptop), but I do not have a disk. I was wondering if there is a way I can download the iso file to a disc (there are a few people who have asked the same question some time ago and they responded with links to download digital river that no longer work)?
Hello
These links work:
Download the correct ISO file and make your own drive and use the product key located on the COA sticker.
http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-image-downloads.12325/page-2#post-124821
And here are instructions on how to burn ISO disk images:

Then do a clean install:
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-Windows-7-a.html
The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop. (you already have)
With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.
By using the downloaded ISO file method can require the Activation of phone.
If it does require phone activation, do not follow Demand of Auto, but brace yourself for a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup

The above method also requires that you go to your computer manufacturer's website > Support and downloads Section > locate your model number and operating system > then download and install the latest drivers for it.

I bought lightroom and need to register my student ID, how do I do that the trial has run out, I have the product code but not the serial number?
If you have purchased a package, then you should have instructions in the box on how to present your credentials. If you have purchased Adobe online, then you should have received instructions in an email. But here is a link that might help you. There is a link under step 2 which will lead you to a place where you can enter the information, I think.

have a product code but lost serial number
have a product code but lost serial number
Unfortunately, the serial number is essential to be able to use the software. Without it you have nothing that links the software for you as an owner... therefore, it is always best to save your software (software).
The only other thing I can offer is to direct you to information to find your serial number. If tram you have all that then listed you are probably out of luck in obtaining other assistance in the forums. Adobe support (chat or by telephone) will be your only hope.

Windows 7 product key, but no disc
had to refomat laptop computer after a virus, have lost everything. Reinstalled windows xp recovery disc. There is a 7 product key of windows on the underside of the laptop.
Is it possible to reinstall without buying another copy of Windows 7?
Hi idlavelle,
The product key on the underside belongs to the preinstalled version of Windows 7 and can not be used with a normal installation disc for Windows 7.
In addition if your laptop comes with Windows 7 preinstalled you must create a recovery disc yourself with pre-installed recovery disc creator. All this is mentioned in the user manual, but it seems you didn t he read why? :(
Now it s too late and if you want the original off back of settings box you will need to order a recovery disc here:

N/AYou use a license key in Volme - and this key usage has been limited to one region, probably because the owner of the key or MS has noticed that the key was abused, but the owner has too many devices in this area to be able to easily change the key or the operating system on all, so they opted for the more expensive option.
If you are a member of this organization, contact your system administrator - if not, then your installation is a counterfeit.
It seems that your machine came with a version of Windows installed - for which version and edition of Windows is allowed, according to the COA sticker on the case?

3 years ago, I built my own computer. I tried to use Windows XP to not run in compatibility problems that occurred when installing Vista. I bought the software for Vista and exercised the downgrade option to Windows XP pro.

have the product key but no disc
I have an old computer thatran windows vista but my dad installed windows xp edition Home premium and now the media card does not work do I have to buy a new drive, even if I have a product key?
Hello
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
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.
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.

A product key, but no disc?
I have a desktop HP Pavilion a1740n with Vista Home Premium. Unfortunately, the motherboard is out and now I have it replaced I can't re - install Vista using recovery system provided by HP, disks, even if I have a valid product key. Is there a way I could get a disc from Microsoft without having to buy new Vista?
Hello
you came preinstalled Vista is an OEM license and any card mother change/upgrade must be done in collaboration with the computer manufacturer, in your case HP
the HP recovery disks contains the drivers for the motherboard of origin
and an OEM license is bound to the original equipment installed on
That's why you had to contact HP about changing motherboards, if they would
and Microsoft does not record the OEM brand computers
It is the responsibilitiy on the computer manufacturer

Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition 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.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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

A few months ago, I was in the same position, having to re - install Creative Suite on a new laptop computer. For some reason, it was very easy, but I don't remember how it was done. I don't want to have to communicate with the institution for the proof of the new character and wait several days for a response. I'm on a deadline of something before that date. Any notice received with gratitude.
then save your serial number.
