Re-install Win 7 Home Basic

I'm trying to re - install the original 7 Home Basic Windows operating system after he had some problems with my system (linked to the motherboard) & now when I try to activate the same, I get this error "the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer".

Could someone advise me please on what needs to be done, because it's quite frustrating to see a message like this after having spent money on the purchase of an original license.

Thanks & best regards,
Kunal

    And how this going to cost?

    @ Boudjemaa Islam

    If your operating system is Win 7 Home Basic 64 - bit version, you can pass only for the version of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. But if you want to change the 32-bit version, you cannot upgrade to the 32-bit version, it cannot choose 'Customize' to install Win 7 32 - bit version.
    BillyRazOr

    Wrong, if you have a license of Windows 7 Edition retail upgrade Home Premium, professional or ultimate, you can use the product key and use Anytime Upgrade in basic home edition upgrade to one of these editions. The only available in India Anytime Upgrade package is however for Home Basic to Home Premium.

    But if you want to change the 32-bit version, you cannot upgrade to the 32-bit version may not choose 'Customize' to install Win 7 32 - bit version.

    I picked up a basic family Win7 (32 bit DVD) somewhere in 2012, am looking for upgrade to a 64-bit (got a brand new platform). The problem is, a 64-bit upgrade does not support media, and my dealer doesn't have a copy of Win7 for me to Exchange (the idea put forward by the call center).

  • Need to find a way to install Win Vista Home (I have my own series) for Win 7 Upgrade post.

    My laptop came with Windows Vista, and I recently bought an upgrade to Windows 7 for her. The upgrade works only as an upgrade, not as a stand-alone installation.
    My computer recently crashed, and with top Vista recovery CD is defective, so I have no way to use the upgrade CD.
    Is it possible to arrange a download of the Vista test for my to validate with my own serial number or to order a copy?

    Hello

    Here are different ways to reinstall Vista.

    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.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Check if you have 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.

    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.

  • Win Vista Home Basic product key is not valid

    I bought Vista Home Basic a wile ago. Now I've updated it. I want to reformat my PC, so I insert the DVD of Vista, and when I enter my product key I get the message "the key is incorrect. How can I fix it, I need to remove the updates or something?

    Hi cheater39,

    If you reinstall Vista you will have to update any new. If the operating system works very well, so it is useless to re - install in order to re - install. Once, re - install if you have multiple problems that can easily be corrected, and then reinstall is a "last" resort option

    You say you bought Vista Home Basic. I suppose, therefore, that you went into a store and bought a full retail copy? If so, the product key number is on the case. If you bought it from another source, for example, Internet, ebay etc (except direct from Microsoft) then you know that it's a genuine product key and not a copy hacked?

    It is in fact a copy of 'upgrade '? If so you need to install your "old" operating system first, for example, Windows XP and upgrade then.

    Check and recheck the code product key that you insert. If it continues to say the key is not valid, resume the DVD in the store that you bought it and ask them to check it for you. You can also contact the Microsoft Customer service in your own country - you should find one address number and/or e-mail on the Microsoft Web site.

    You can actually install Vista without product key by simply letting the dialog box empty product key and then pressing the next button. A message will appear in which you must press the No button. A list of the versions of Vista should then appear. Select the version that you have, for example, Vista Home Basic, press Next, then it should install. No you get away without putting the product key in. Although Windows Vista has been installed it works for a while, but it would give you time, we hope, sort out the product key number. After that the time scheduled (30 days I think) you will need to enter the correct product key otherwise Vista will simply stop working. This option is not ideal, but it will give you as small period of "grace." If you cannot sort the product key on or, heaven forbid, you ended up buying a pirated copy, you will have no real alternative but to buy another legitimate copy.

    I suggest you use my last suggestion as a "last resort" option Try to install on another machine to see if the product key works, or taking it back to the shop and ask them why it won't install.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

    I downloaded an .iso of digital river and will burn on dvd for installation.  However, the COA on the bottom is quite warn and I cannot read the product key, also, the barcode is also quite warn and cannot parse.  hard drive, that I took out is dead, so there is not using the key of it.  I have read several posts here and watched videos that will happen on google searches, but don't know if I'm getting good information.  How I get the correct key to activate the operating system?  did this on a new original hard drive different from the resettlement on the hard disc descriptions?  I called dell support and told him a hard guy to understand that the downloaded .by don't work with this laptop, but I suspect he wanted to sell me a software warranty and new discs.  Maybe it's correct?  What is my best option here?
