• Reinstall Windows 7 after upgrading to Vista?

  I have my old watch office that I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, and after 4 years I want to reinstall Windows 7 to start fresh. The Vista that was on it, I have the disc Version of OEMs and for Windows 7, I have the disk that was given to me by the technology that made the upgrade for me after that he did the upgrade. It was made by the upgrade online. J' have the product keys for both. My question is: what I have to reinstall the Vista using the disk of Vista (and key) and then go back and reinstall Windows 7 using the Windows 7 disc (and key) or can I just do a custom installation using the disc of Windows 7 only and the product key for this? I just want to wipe all of my drive and start again with nothing other than the Windows 7 above. I've moved to Windows 8 on my new computer, but want to keep my old machine running Windows 7 (I'm sure that all your diehard 7 users understand why!). Please let me know how to do this.

  Thank you

  Just make a custom installation:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• 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.

• Reinstalled Windows XP after the installation of computer hardware, has now lost all my old icons

  I upgraded the card mother, memory and CPU.  Kept the old SATA hard drive.
  Reinstalled Windows XP.  Now, I have no icons, like a new computer.  All my programs are on the C: drive, but none of the programs appear on the start-> list all programs.
  It's like I'm a new user.
  Any ideas?  I wish I had my old office back.  At least all of my data, photos are always "there".

• Need Switchable Graphics for Windows 8 after upgrade?

  Hey guys,.

  I see several issues where people lose their switchable graphics after upgrade to Windows 8.

  Now, the only drivers graphic switchable which must be downloaded for future needs on the site of the factory which should be HP.

  Now, is the first step, we want to take

  • Check and see if your mobile phone is supported by Windows 8.

  You can check HERE to see if it is supported.

  If this isn't the case, then more than likely there will be no available drivers until the phone is supported.
  • If the laptop is supported by Windows 8 HP website and your product type # in the next selection > and then select the operating system > click Next > and look under the section that says "Driver - Graphic" and start the download.
  In addition, there are several places where you can find ' workaround ' meaning drivers, you can download switchable graphics 3 third-party sites. As AMD and Other installs

  Other facilities

  It will be the call to users to go and download these drivers. Now that could be a hit or miss.

  SO BE VERY CAREFUL OF ANYTHING TRY YOU AND DOWNLOAD IMITATING SWITCHABLE GRAPHICS DRIVERS.

  I hope it's useful!

• Reinstall "Windows 7 Anytime upgrade.

  My computer has Windows 7 anytime upgrade available when I bought it. I've updated when he was available and received the disks. Since then, I had to reinstall everything on my computer that rely on Windows Vista.
  The 'Windows 7 upgrade Express' is no longer available. Can I use the discs I received initially and reinstall the upgrade
  Thank you

  The "Anytime Upgrade" is for the upgrade of a small version of Windows 7 to a higher version of Windows 7 (example: in Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional).

  Probably you have, it is the promotional offer about 2 years ago which would allow you to buy a computer with Vista installed and then upgrade to Windows 7, when it became available.

  If this is the case you must install Vista and activate with the Vista product key, and then use the Windows 7 upgrade DVD and associated Windows 7 product key.

• Reinstall Windows 7 after a hard drive cleanup

  Hello. This is the first time I used any kind of help forum. Yesterday (Christmas day) I got old laptop (Acer Aspire 5100) mother after she got a new. I used Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN) to wipe the hard drive. 149 GB, only 20ish GB were remaining. Is took about 4 hours and 30 minutes to complete. Of course, being an impatient teenager, I forgot to see if I had a Windows installation disc or other means to reinstall Windows. All hope is lost? Are there ways to reinstall Windows in my current state?

  Use of the image that corresponds to that indicated on the sticker COST of the computer. You will also be able to read the sticker key COA code. If you do not have a COA sticker or it is unreadable, the links to Windows 7 will be of no use to you.

  Microsoft Windows USB/DVD download tool can be used to copy the installation on USB files if you want to install using a USB device. The name feels strange that you do not download Windows using the tool, but use a local ISO image to burn to DVD or copy to USB.
