Re-install Windows; key production but no cd

My hard drive crashed without possibility of repair; I got a new but I need to re - install Windows.

I have no Windows cd. However, there are a key production on my laptop. I found some links online, but none that worked. Does anyone know if and where I can download Windows 7 Home premium?

EDIT

Perhaps I should also say that my windows was preinstalled on my laptop. So Microsoft recovery does not work.

It is likely that you can use an another DVD of Win7.  In order to make it work, it must match your - home edition/pro. 32/64.  Just find someone who has the drive.

The only potential problem is that you may need some driver source it install Win7 does not provide them.  Update Windows with other Microsoft products will sometimes bring them also.  Most of the time, the installation process itself provides that most everything you need.  If you need more, find your download page of the OEM Web site for your model.

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

    I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  • Windows 8 - Refresh PC pre-installed Windows key recovery or installation DVD disc

    Windows 8 - Refresh PC pre-installed Windows key recovery or installation DVD disc

    The problem is that the number of keys for Windows 8 is required for this operation, and I can't get it. I got Windows8 pre-installed when I bought the laptop, so I don't have the installation DVD, I did not collect the number of keys in any documentation or found on the laptop.

    What can I do to make sure that if I can restore Windows 8 and all my data on the laptop?

    Thanks for your help

    To put it bluntly, YOU n 'T NEED a KEY! When you reinstall Windows 8, it is automatically activated from your key incorporated in the Bios. There is no need for to go you into the Bios to get the key. With Windows 8, it is how it is done. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  • Can I install Windows 7 product key on office and reinstall it on the new laptop when it arrives?

    Hello everyone, I had to order a laptop for school. But it is still not there, so I had to install windows 7 and office 2010 on my old computer at home to do my school work. When my laptop is here, can I reinstall XP on my old computer and put my copy of windows 7 on the new laptop? Or is the product key now linked to my old computer?

    If you have purchased commercial versions, then you're OK.

    If you have bought OEM Windows 7 and activated, then the license is locked to the old PC (although you might try to discuss your case with MS)

  • HP pc re - install Windows XP Product key invalid

    I bought the HP Compaq DC 7900 Convertible Minitowers PC 3 years with downgrade to Windows XP (preinstalled at shipment).

    Recently, I have problem with my PC and re-formated the pc.  When I tried to re - install Windows XP using the disk provided by the HP (delivered with the purchased PC), it shows that the product key is not valid.  According to my tech sticker pasted on my pc product key was the product key for Windows Vista sticker.
    What should I do and how can I get the product key for Windows XP?  I contact center HP support several times and has been said to restore Windows XP using the recovery CD more and yet always fail.  And finally, they ask me is to contact Microsoft.
    What am I, I guess what to do?  I need to re - install my pc to Windows XP, as some of my programs are not compatible with Windows Vista.
    Thank you.

    In addition to the suggestion of Carey Frisch,

    If you cannot establish an online connection by using your modem or an Internet connection, the wizard prompts you to contact a customer service representative to activate your copy of Windows XP by telephone.

  • have windows on Vista Developer, tried to install Windows DVD maker but doesn't seem to work, cannot publish the movie on DVD HELP

    I have the windows Director, went to Microsoft and tried to download Windows DVD maker but does not appear to have installed despite me try it 3 times, all I want to do is publish a movie!

    On Vista, Windows DVD Maker requires that you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  If you have one of these versions, you should already have Windows DVD Maker and Windows Movie Maker 6.0.  These versions of Windows Vista are required to have copies under license from MPEG-2 to make a video DVD.

    I was not aware of a separate installer for Windows DVD Maker, so I suspect you look at something of a 3rd site part. If it is a Microsoft site, can provide you the address you use?

    Hi asian1955,

    Have you tried to download Windows Live from here: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials?os=other this is the latest version of Windows Live. Once you start to install, simply install the components you want, there is no need to install anything if you do not need.

  • try to install windows update (kb971737), but I get the error

    whenever I try to install this update I get error 80070020, I tried all (safe mode with network-clean boot-dissabeling antivirus and firewall, manual installation) nothing worked
    My os: win vista ultimate sp2 64-bit
    anti-virus: norton 360 v2 + windows deffender

    Yes, I use ie8 you think if I UPGRDE TO NORTON 360 V3 COULD SOLVE this?

    If you have installed (no upgrade to) N360 2010 v3.0, IE8 would be much more effective for you, but I suspect that this will not to solve the problem you experienced when you try to install KB971737, don't.

    Here's what you could try though:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (for example, navigation; read E-mail; cat download other stuff) until you have completed step #8 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. While N360 is no longer present on the computer, see if you can install KB971737 (and offered security critical updates) now.

    7. now, to do a clean install of N360 2010 (using your product ID, if necessary) & restart: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    8. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

  • I need to re - install Windows XP SP2, but have lost the CD

    I need to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows XP SP2.  However, I do not have the CD.   Help!

    Most machines have a recovery partition which will reinstall your machine to the condition as purchased without using a CD.  When you start your machine and the first messages are displayed on your screen, look for a message that tells you to press a certain key to a recovery operation.  It only lasts a second or two, so you have to look quickly. When you see displayed, quickly press this button and start the process of re - install.  Make sure that you backup your personal data first as the desire to re - install everything remove.
