Reinstall the new HD without key as the label is too worn to read

I have an old Dell Inspiron n5010 laptop friends who has a bad replacement HD is easy (ha!) but the windows key on the back of the laptop was not under the battery and so is quite worn. The key to windows itself is unrecognizable however I can do a light code under the code high bar of the page (which is shown just below the word "DELL"). Is there any hope of trying to get Windows 7, working on a new HD for her or she would have cast? Second, it could get a CD to upgrade from windows 7 the school, but this would require windows must already be installed. She would be able to use the product key for the upgrade if a copy of windows is downloaded and burned to a dvd to use for the installation? Thank you!

Option 1:

If the product key is worn, then you need to do is request a manufacturer's recovery disc and allows to reinstall Windows 7. This relieves the need to use the product key:

If this option is not available to you, then you will need to purchase a new license.

  • The letters are too thin to read

    On my new Dell desktop with an E1910Hc monitor, there is very high definition, but the letters in many programs (including Word) are too small to read easily. In other words, the letters look as if they were written with a very fine tip pen, making letters appear almost grey not black and pretty hard to read.  I wish they were thicker, like the letters in a printed book.  Sizing of fonts is not the answer.  What the DPI setting in Control Panel?  Something else?  Or is it just like that?  Running Windows XP Professional.  All this seems to be of high resolution, which is fine in everything except the letters, and it is all the work I do.

  • Cluster containing the label the button Get?

    In view of the reference to a button in a cluster control, how can I get the label of the cluster containing (parent)?

    More information on the task at hand:

    I have a pair of buttons ('read' and 'write') within a cluster, what I repeated in rows and then wrapped in another cluster for convenience of layout. I now want to manage the events of each button, grouped by lines and columns, as in the photo (also attached VI):

    My goal is to have a case of "read" event and one case of event "write", and according to what rank button is pressed, the code will be the index of an array of data for reading and writing. I know I could write separate events for each, or change the labels for each button to "Read button 0", ' Read button 1 "," read "button 2", but this is just an illustrative example for a much larger grid of buttons and other controls, and it is prohibitively expensive to turn on each of the labels, modify them, and then hide each of the labels.»»

    If this is not possible, I am open to other ways to address this problem that don't involve not copy paste cases of event for each line (since it is also prohibitive for the frequency at which cases are changed).

    Thanks in advance,

    Arthur

    You can use the node property of the object button called "holder".  What it does is return a reference to the object owner of this button, in this case the cluster.  Then you can convert this reference to a more specific class of the cluster.  Then use a property node to read the label.text.

  • I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost?

    I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost? If yes how can I do this? Some people reported issues license keys and it cannot be registered once in a PC.

    Thank you

    It is the major limitation of the OEM software that it can be installed on a PC. The COA label will confirm whether the license is OEM. A number of elements can be replaced in a PC in the way of repair, but only if exactly the same model of Council can this be exchanged.

    Even if you transfer the drive to the new PC would not authenticate because of the change of equipment, and it would be unlikely to to re-authenticate online.

    If the label is not OEM and you have a retail package, so it can be transferred.

  • Hard drive Windows 7 to transfer to the new motherboard without reinstalling

    Hey all -

    So, my goal is to transfer my old hard drive to a new motherboard without reinstalling my OS. I heard that it is possible, but difficult.

    If I find it's too intimidating, anyone know how I can do to reinstall my windows 7 if I don't have an installation disc? I got it through the .edu email and I don't know that I have the original installation file, is it possible for me to re - download without paying again?

    Install everything on the new motherboard, and then turn it on.  It should be like Windows Vista, it will take some time to sort itself, go online to get drivers etc (so ensure you have the new drivers for motherboard on hand like LAN, graphics etc. where it cannot find them online), but you shouldn't have to reinstall.  You will have to reactivate.

  • Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox new, because the old version was crashing / "not responding." now cannot start new version.

    I have a desktop Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Was using a previous version of Firefox for a while but is has started to run slowly or occasionally crash or better yet show "program does not" or some this verbiage when I started the browser, so I decided to move to a new Firefox. I uninstalled the old version and installed a new one – and I can't start even the browser. The browser window opens with "Restore Session - Mozilla Firefox (not responding)"
    I don't use IE, but that's what I have to do the same after this issue; That's why I can't even look for ir help install the troubleshooting soft...
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Firefox reset function move your old folder settings on your desktop, inside a folder named old data from Firefox. Please keep this record for a few weeks in case you need to recover anything of him.

    If the reset does not help, there are two main variables remaining here: possible corruption in the settings (your profile folder) files that are reported after a reset and possible problems in your Firefox program folder.

    Create a new Firefox profile

    A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It will also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

    Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Run (hold the Windows key press R):

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Do not delete anything here.

    Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    Go ahead and click on the button to create a profile, give it a name such as Nov8 and ignore the possibility of changing the location of the folder. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

    Until you return to the profile and start-up Manager in your regular profile, your desktop shortcut should launch the new profile.

    Other than not having your settings, it works normally?

    Note: When you return to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the button Delete a profile on your new test profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

    You can replace the Firefox program files without disturbing your settings by using this clean reinstall procedure:

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 33 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) as appropriate, close Firefox or make sure there is full compliance in the Task Manager.

    (3) to rename the folder (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    It runs?

    Note: Some plugins recently installed can exist only in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

    Looks like a common problem that the original HDD Samsung die a premature death. I started to receive warnings of 301 SMART several months ago, but my HP dv6 kept operating normally until this week. Now it does not start, then it's time for a new HARD disk. I thought I was fully prepared, as I had spared him all my work on an external drive, had a new beautiful drive HARD fast to install and had my hand recovery disks. After you run the recovery discs, I'm stuck. New HARD drive does not start, and I can't do what whether the HP Recovery console offers me on its menu. Windows recovery is also stuck as there is no previous image recorded on this new album.

    Looking at the new HARD drive, I see that the HP recovery disks were formatted only 60 GB, sort of a mini recovery partition and nothing else. When I try to restore the image, him refuses to HP recovery with the message Console, this drive is smaller than the original.

    Can someone tell me how to work around this problem with recovery disks, or how I might just do a clean install of Windows 7 without having to buy a new installation disk purely and simply? HP does not provide a Windows disk with this computer.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello

    Recovery discs often have problems reinstalling the operating system if the new HARD drive is lower than installed when they were initially created.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery process, it is a job before right around if you have (or can borrow) a Windows 7 retail installation disc is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to version exact commercial that you would need.

    If you don't have access to a retail disk, you can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
