Reinstall Win 7 after drive failure HARD need activation key
My HARD drive started failing and I managed to get my data off it.
I installed an SSD and reinstalled windows from a new copy, because I can't create support of old HARD drive recovery as the recovery partition is damaged.
The installed Windows 7 has worked mostly with the OEM key but I get updated windows warns about it is not not genuine Windows 7.
I contacted Microsoft but they say I have to contact DELL to obtain a key to "activate" Windows correctly.
Can anyone help - I'm in the UK so, apparently, I can't use the DELL us to get the recovery disks in the post.
Thanks John
If you can start installing Windows to the old hard drive. Run ABRbeta.exe by following the instructions in my Windows reinstallation Guide / a Clean Install of Windows 7: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/3524/t/19480753.aspx
This will allow you to save your Dell OEM Windows 7 Activation of your old installation and restore it in your new installation.
Attention in particular to steps 1 c and 11 b what kind of grades using this utility.

No, to my knowledge, this is not possible, even if you copy the contents of the recovery of HARD drive on the new partition on the new HARD drive, HARD drive recovery option does not appear in the advanced boot menu.
So, it seems you need to order a new drive to get here:

How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?
How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?
Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject. There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.
If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

You have created the Toshiba Recovery disk? Perfect!
After Exchange of HARD drive, you need this you to install Windows 7 disc.

Genuine Windows clean install
Hello
I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers. They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem. So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on. Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista. It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium! It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows? I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.Kind regardsLewisHere are some utilities which displays product key Vista Matech used to activate Windows:

Reinstall Win XP without reformatting the hard disk
Hello
Is it possible to reinstall Win XP on my Equium A60 without having to reformat the HD? The HD currently has only one partition.
Thanks in advance,
MikeHello Mike
Unfortunately, it is not possible. If you use the whole HARD disk recovery disk will be formatted until the installation begins. If you want to preinstall unit with recovery disk to save all your data on external media such as external HARD drive or burn them on CD or DVD.
If you wish, you can create two partitions using the installation in expert mode.

How can I reinstall Vista (free) after the failure of my hard drive?
My hard drive needs a total deletion. After a reformat can I reinstalled my Vista Ultimate without having to buy a new copy? (I have the same question about Office 2007, streets and trips 2009).
Thank you.
Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.
These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $25-50.
If your office and streets & trips are preinstalled, you would contact the computer mftr. for the installation of replacement media. Otherwise reinstall them using a CD that you have.

Need to reinstall Win 7 after a hard no training crash - no disks/backup
I have a laptop Dell Inspiron. I got Win 10 on it for three months or more and the hard drive died yesterday. I said to win 10 to 'fix' but he could not. I want to come back to Win 7, have the product key but not drives - installation or backup. Dell technical support was no help beyond telling me to replace the hard drive and buy a commercial version of Windows 7, which doesn't seem to be available. I ordered a new HD - one SSD and a Pack of Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit (OEM) System Builder DVD 1 (for the Installation of refurbished PC) but I'm not sure if the drive is working. Can someone tell me if it will be? If not, are there other options? Thank you very much.
Please look over the steps to clean reinstall Windows 7 especially the steps printed in red that relate to the drivers how are the best treated in Windows 7.
Visit the Support Web page of Dell downloads to download Flash stick or disk of the LAN driver for your Dell number on the sticker on PC. If there is more than one and you don't know who it is now that you have reinstalled, you can find in Device Manager by running Hardware Identification.
Install the driver to connect to the network by clicking the icon in the system tray network. Problems can be diagnosed by right clicking the network icon.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask in return.

Reinstall Windows 7 after formatting the HARD drive
I had a laptop Lenovo with a preactivated Windows and I have a product key at the bottom of my laptop computer that reads the Windows 7 Pro OA in India. Recently, my HARD drive crashed and I had to replace it. I want to reinstall my Windows genuine 7 with available with me product key. How can I tell what version of Windows 7 was? for example, home premium, professional etc... and how can I do to download the copy of windows 7?
Hello Bogdan,
Welcome to the Microsoft community forums. Let me help you with your concern.
Since you are using computer OEM (Lenovo). I suggest you to contact Lenovo support to clean install Windows 7. OEM keys work with the OEM CD. It works with a generic "unbranded" CD OEM and not a retail CD.
http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/SelectProduct
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which you can generally consider this term as meaning 'PC maker' or, specifically in this case, "System Integrator." And in light of this, you can assume that the Windows 7 OEM packaging is so inaccessible you as a person.
Please see the categories below to get answers to frequently asked questions about licensing system builder OEM.
http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspxSee these links in support of Lenovo. The following instructions explain how to install Microsoft Windows 7 on a computer with a blank hard drive or a hard drive that is going to be wiped clean during the installation process. (All existing files will be deleted.)
Clean install of Windows 7
