• Can I use product key OEM Portege R400 - S4832 to the re-installation of Vista

  If I don't have my restore DVD came with my laptop Portege R400-S4832 I use an other users Vista OS DVD to install Vista using the product key that came on the bottom of my Portege?

  Otherwise, it's a hassle to ask a Toshiba Recovery DVD?

  Thank you.

  Well, what to say to my knowledge it of not possible to activate the other version of Vista with OEM from Toshiba key.
  This key is assigned to this OEM version and it should not work with another Vista CD/DVD.

  However, I found this thread another in this forum about Vista installation and activation and the last user potatohead reported that he was able to activate the OEM of Vista version with the phone;

  Hello

  I put t understand.

  If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that will ask you not to enter keys!

  The serial at the bottom of the device key belongs to the Toshiba installed the Windows operating system and cannot be used with other versions of Windows.

• HP 250 G4: Recovery Window10 needs product key?

  Hello world

  I have a HP 250 G4 with pre-installed Windows 10.

  On this pc I need to have Linux as well, so I have released the space and created a partition using disk management in Windows and Linux (Fedora) installed on the free partition.

  Now the pc will only start on Linux, but I can see and access the Windows disc, so it's still there.

  The Windows Boot Manager gives the following error:

  File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
  
  Status: 0xc000000f
  
  Info: Boot your pc configuration data is missing or contains errors.

  To resolve the error, he suggested to insert the installation disk, I did not.

  I download the ISO image of www.microsoft.com/it-it/software-download/windows10ISO

  Should I have the product key for my windows? If so, how can I get it?

  Thanks for the tips

  The product key is encoded in BIOS.

  You can use a generic installation if necessary key. Once you are able to start Windows again and go online, the operating system will activate itself, since the laptop already has a digital entitlement on the Microsoft activation servers.

  You can get the keys to generic installation of the following web document. http://winaero.com/blog/generic-key-to-install-Windows-10-RTM/

  Did you create a recovery usb Windows key until you are any changes to the partition?

  I'm curious to know the reason why you did not appear using VMWare to run a virtual Linux operating system instead of physically install the operating system.

• Can I use a product key OEM Windows 7 provided with my laptop on a different computer if my laptop original broke and I no longer use it?

  I have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.

  original title: product key

  I have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.

  Sorry, but there is no such thing as «Window7 Holiday Home Edition»  This is the ultimate. Home Basic or Home Premium.

  He intervenes, it it is preinstalled on your laptop and the laptop died, the license to use, he died with him. It cannot be moved to another computer.

  Preloaded is an OEM version and the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

• Invalid product key, OEM media is not available

  I'm reloading the operating system on an 'old' pc for which the original restore media was lost, but I get a "invalid key" error message.

  The media I have is a retail version of Windows XP Edition family.  I use the key from thesticker on the side of the computer.  It seems that you can not use retail media and the OEM key from the sticker on the side of the computer?

  If we're not able to get the OEM restore media how a re-install Windows?

  You cannot install of XP OEM key on a retail disc.
  If the disc is SP3, then you can install by using the default key and then use the product key update tool to change the key for your COST one.
  If you can integrate SP3 into the current disc, it will still work.
  If this isn't the case, then you need to find a disc OEM System Builder to do the installation.

• Use the product key OEM with Windows Vista fresh install

  Hello. I got my Acer Aspire 5517 laptop for my birthday a few years ago (with Vista pre-installed). A genuine OEM product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. How can I use it with a new installation? Or can I somehow get an ISO or CD OEM Microsoft's file, or download it online somehow? Please don't tell me to upgrade to Windows 7, as I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend right now. Thank you!

• Recovery discs and product keys?

  My laptop came with no recovery disc and began to play up if I want to erase everything and leave. The disks of backup that have been made are only records do not and do not let me recover the system. Can I use a disc of recovery from another PC, but enter the product key for the laptop? My two machines running Vista Home premium. The disc of recovery for a Dell desk top and my laptop is a Sony. Is it still possible to interchange the recovery discs? I have to download different drivers for the laptop before you erase the hard drive? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Gary.

  Hello

  Sorry, but you cannot use a recovery disk on a Sony Dell.

  This applies to all of the different brands.

  And if you have problems with the backup disks you made, read this information toreinstall Vista:

  There are several methods 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

  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.

  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.

• What happens if I install a new windows on a computer product key OEM windows laptop?

  I bought a laptop in 2009 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM on it (I still have the sticker of the portable product key).

  This year, I bought a larger capacity HARD drive and installed on my laptop.

  I thought it was the perfect time to upgrade to Windows 7, so I bought a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate.

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my HDD new and used the new Windows 7 Ultimate DVD product key.

  My questions are,

  What will happen to the product key Windows Vista Home Basic OEM?

  If it is replaced with the new product key?

  Is the OEM product key became invalid?

  Now I use Windows Pro 10, as a free upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, so...

  What my new Windows 10 Pro registered product key?

  I know that since windows 8, the product key is installed on the BIOS (am I right?).

  then, how it actually works?

  Thank you very much for the reply.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  No matter if you did a clean Windows 7 or updated installation to upgrade to windows 7 from Vista, this OEM Vista product key is blocked on this computer and cannot be transferred to another machine.

  You can only use this key OEM of Vista to reinstall Vista on this particular machine and start over.

  Licensing rules (my words)

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

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

  Rec would be the free upgrade to 10 7 as Vista never qualified for the free upgrade to 10.

  The key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

  The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

  But there is no product key for your free upgrade to 10.

  Hardware configuration you laptop is stored on Microsoft servers and how your machine will be recognized if you always want to reinstall 10.

  See you soon.

• Replace the new Windows8 laptop with Windows7 professional - no disks, but have recovery discs and product key

  I have recently fried my laptop 3 year old who has Windows 7 top (my husband he drowned in coffee!).  I bought a new Toshiba laptop and it came with Windows 8.  I already have a laptop with Windows 8.1 so would like to change the more recent Windows 7.  I have the laptop recovery disks drowned and the product key for Windows 7 Professional upgrade.  How can I change to Windows 7 Professional?  I think I need to totally erase Windows 8 first, but I don't know how to do it.

• Product key OEM Windows Vista Business on Precision 490

  Just bought a Dell Precision 490. It comes with 32-bit Windows 7 HP... The product key for Windows 7 is on the case. With this key, there is a Microsoft Windows Vista Business OEM key. My first question is how do I know if it is a key of 32 or 64-bit of Windows Vista? Or can be used for either (it does not specify the key). My second question is how properly to reinstall Windows Vista. I noticed there are a lot of different people who sell different restart/reinstall/repair disk. Thank you.

  Windows OEM product keys can be used to install either 32-bit or 64-bit.

  You can ask Dell support (if in the United States, and after a "transfer of property") or use a disc from another system that corresponds to the version of that license is for (Home, Ultimate, etc.):

  support.Dell.com/.../backupcd_form

  You can use Retail media, then activate by phone from Microsoft (not Dell) using your product key:

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-Vista-Official-ISO-Download-Links-Digital-River.aspx

  Just boot on the Windows DVD, delete all partitions that are shown to you, then call install... you will have to install drivers after Windows is installed, but you can ask that once Windows is on.

  You must also determine if you have a RAID controller that requires special drivers during installation.  The 490 could use a PERC or SAS RAID 5 card.  You can check the box to see where the disks are wired to and/or check during POST to see if you have a CTRL-C or a prompt CTRL-R, while the loading devices.

• How to install windows 8 using an product key OEM (under construction)

  Hello everyone. I bought a computer laptop sony vaio about a year ago and he had 8 integrated windows which clrealy means that the product key is embedded in the motherboard. Now the thing is I want to dual boot with ubuntu and use it alongside windows 8.1 (that I've updated 8) and the ubuntu installation went a little worse. When I went to reinstall I erased by mistake my hard drive and all I was left with was an operating system reinstalled ubuntu.  Now I know that the product key for the windows kernel 8 is in my motherboard, so I want to install windows 8 on it, but it seems that there is no way I can get the iso standard for installation. I tried to use the 'upgrade of windows with a single product key' by Microsoft after the extraction of my key by using a program, but it says my key cannot be used to obtain a version of windows.

  Im stuck pretty bad here now, and any help would be appreciated. -There should be a solution because after all I don't have a genuine product key-

  As you probably know, most of the machines are supplied with recovery disks more, they just put in another partition on the hard drive.  Sometimes, you can get this in now shift while clicking the option restart from the menu of the power.

  Given that, most of the manufacturers have prepared with their own solutions. My computer Vaio from Sony has a button of special pinhole that I had to press with a paper clip to enter into recovery mode.  Other manufacturers have other options, some require a USB thumbdrive to enter recovery, or a CD.

  At this point, you probably want to contact your manufacturer to find out which method of recovery they use.  I hate to bring bad news, but they'll probably say "why did not a recovery USB disk? (as if someone creates their own set of disks of repair when they receive a new computer).

  Help a friend with a Dell laptop (did not have a problem, but wanted to install a pure one)

  passing), Dell sent us a free night FedEx ship from a restore CD. The manufacturer of your can be so nice. I know that Sony was not. If the recovery of my Vaio button didn't work, they wanted $60 for a CD!

  Anyway, the manufacturer is your best bet, that now, if you don't have a USB self made for recovery.
