Re-apply Anytime Upgrade license after running recovery disk

4 years ago, I bought a Toshiba laptop with Windows Home Premium pre-installed, and provided with a Toshiba recovery media. As I need to join a domain but wanted to keep the media center software that I used also provided Express Upgrade disk to upgrade to ultimate. This has been paid at the time and was completely automatic with a "paid" invoice from Toshiba, which is the only element received.

Due to lack of space etc. I replaced the HARD drive, before doing so in order to become a record of the license key encrypted so I could reinstall. However, the recovery disc will reinstall only Home Premium with the embedded OEM key and does not offer the possibility to enter the spare key. Other forums have indicated that all I have to do is to run the utility to upgrade Express again where I would get the opportunity to get the software, I paid for. All that is to offer a screen to compare the different versions of Vista that connects me in turn to a web page of MS indicating that the Service at any time update for Vista has been suspended, the upgrade to Windows 7 instead.

I can't use the upgrade Express disk I received with the laptop to find out if that would work, as the drive had a crack in it and no longer charges originally.

My questions are, how to reapply the key to get my system up to the ultimate and that should I have received from Toshiba when I bought the upgrade?

  • Envy of HP dv7: upgrade of manufacturing after Win10 recovery disks

    After the upgrade to win 8 ot win 10, can I followed the original instructions to create a new set of recovery disks?

    Hello

    HP Recovery Manager only allows you to create 1 set of recovery media for the original operating system supplied with machine.

    However, there is another option, you can use.

    As long as the current installation of Windows 10 has activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can create any media that will allow you to perform a new installation of Windows 10 If you need.

    For a guide on creating it, see the following link.  Note: If you use this option to perform a clean installation of Windows 10, to the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

    Hello!

    I put t know what is the reason for this BSOD when installing, but you can post the BSOD code? For example, you can search based on Microsoft Knowledge for this code.

    In addition, I would try to update the BIOS of your laptop that you can find on the Toshiba site:

    After you have updated the BIOS to try to update the WLAN and LAN card driver, or try to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  • HP Pavilion 15-p264na: upgrade of Windows 10 - recovery disk

    I just bought this laptop with win 8.1 on. I want to upgrade to windows 10 and produce a recovery disk using the installation of HP, which cannot be done at once. The question is what to do first. I'm afraid that if I do first the disc, then I assume will only recover Windows 8.1, which means another upgrade to win 10, which then can no longer be available as a free update. If I do the first update, should I still the ability to produce a recovery disk? and if he will he recover to win 10?

    Hello:

    You must make the recovery W8.1 media now before moving on to W10.

    It will only take up to W8.1, and no matter what you do, it will only retrieve W8.1 by using the HP tool to make the drive.

    Upgrading to W10 has no effect on the change of the W8.1 recovery partition.  Only, it installs W10 on the C:\ drive and makes no other changes.

    Here's how I see the second part of your concern (what concerns me too).

    Like you said after next July, W10 is not free, what happens if you need to restore W10 or you get a new hard drive and you have to install everything.

    First of all, after you upgrade to W10, in the tool settings > activation, you can check that W10 is enabled.

    I'd say you need to reinstall W8.1 and then upgrade to W10 and when you go to turn it on going because he already know that W10 has been installed on the PC before.  Microsoft maintains a database of activation which should allow the PC to have W10 still for free.

    You can make a W10 installation/repair ISO disk usb flash drive, or from the link below.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

    Another thing I did was to create a system image of the installation of the W10 and recorded on a portable hard drive.

    I did use the tool to create system image (windows 7) in the W10 system control panel option.

    My plan would be to try first before anything else.  You can use the installation/repair W10 disc that you create to access the system image that you create, and I hope that will save a lot of time and effort.

    You can update the image of the system as many times as you want, and it will overwrite the existing image on the laptop hard drive.

    But until next July comes and goes, we can only speculate what will be the result of having to reinstall the W10.

  • Satellite M30-107 does not start successfully after using recovery disk

    Hello

    I recently got my hands on a toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop second hand and decided to freshen it.
    I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after that the laptop is no longer support windows.

    When turned on it shows booting Toshiba disc for about a second then goes to a screen blank and freezes.
    When turned on, once again, a screen will appear an error by stopping and offer the opportunity to start in SafeMode etc but choose one of the options causes the machine to freeze.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you
    JT

    Hello

    Sounds a little like the laptop does not start because of the problem of Windows software
    You did not recover the M30 with the original Toshiba that was provided with this device M30 recovery CD?

    I may be wrong, but to me it looks like a recovery CD incorrect has been used and an image with drivers not compatible m has been installed

    You can try to install the OS of Microsoft Win XP original CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruin using own BONE.

    In this case we (you and me ;)) might know if this problem could be related to hardware or software.

  • What happens when I run recovery disks in the computer?

    Original title: .vista

    I want to run my vista recovery disk, what actually happens when I do this.

    Hello

    When you run the manufacturer's recovery disk, it puts your computer / computer laptop back to factory settings. the new condition that you bought it in.

    All your data: pictures, music files, etc. must be backed up on an external hard drive before making a recovery, because they will be normally lost.

    All data updates to Windows, 3rd party programs, and that you have installed since your purchase of computer no longer the disk hard as the hard disk is normally wiped clean of everything during the recovery process.

    The above is called a destructive recovery.

    Some computer manufacturers also have the possibility of a non-destructive recovery, which stores programs and data in place.

    But, the data must be saved IN the MATTER.

    If your problem is so bad that you need to reinstall, a non-destructive recovery does not solve the problem of normally and most destructive recovery needs to be done

    See you soon.

  • Satellite P20-102 - receiver remote not working do not after running recovery CD

    Hello

    I am running Windows Media Center Edition and on my laptop Satellite P20-102.

    I recently needed to run the recovery CD, the process went well except that my box of external remote control receiver provided with my laptop no longer works.

    The box works with XP Media Center Edition and the remote control before I ran the recovery CD. The receiver is detected and installed on the computer when it is connected and recognized in device like a USB Serial Converter Manager. The inner light flashes about 4 seconds. When you press a button on the remote control light both in the housing of the remote control receiver if it receives the signal.

    Hello Jazz

    Please slow down. Your ad is quite confusing. You can the prior words includes on two completely different ways.

    (1) previous state as factory settings. If you use recovery media is removed from the entire HARD disk and all data will be lost. There is no way to recover them. To the review no data more.
    (2) previous state by using System Restore tool. It will roll back OS time earlier, but all data will be there. Sorry, but if you have ever used recovery media, it's too late for this option.
