Reinstall Windows 7 from scratch on Area 51 ALX
Hi again all,
So, I just bought a new area 51 R2 (not upwards and turns yet, but I'll be sure to change my signature to the new machine in due course!) and need to restore my machine with a fresh install of W7 before I sell it on.
My machine was purchased as a refurb almost new that I got from the selling company to install W7 to before they shipped it. I don't have a recovery partition or DVD (although even if I did, they would put Vista on), so I need to start from scratch. I have a W7 ISO and obviously valid an OEM key. This works because I had to do an excessive installation of W7 a few weeks ago that things started to go wrong.
I remember correctly see the instructions here on how to re - install from scratch, who went into the details on how to add drivers and in what order, but I can't seem to find it.
Can someone point my in the right direction? Thank you! :)
Let's assume that your Mio worked before the reinstall & still work afterwards, given that your case illuminate at least one color; I'd be willing to bet that cmndcntr expected on .net framework 4; If you have installed CmndCntr 2.08.11 while the version need. NET3.5 certainly.

No one knows what buttons to press so I can format and reinstall windows xp from scratch?
Hi all.
Hi all. No one knows what buttons to press so that I can format and reinstall windows xp from scratch on my lap top compaq pentium 4 from a CD-ROM.
Thank you.

Hello
In your other thread, you said that your XP CD is damaged.
The manufacturer normally gives you one way or the other to reinstall; not both.
If you had a recovery partition, this is the information:
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?CC=au&LC=en&docName=bph07145#N296
- Turn on the computer.
- Just after the first screen display (the display of the logo), press the F10 key repeatedly until a recovery menu appears.

Reinstall Windows XP Professional without disc
Can I possibly have to reinstall my Windows XP from scratch so I can give it to my friend without the CD? If it helps, it's a computer of American Megatrends.

To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

You may need to uninstall Windows XP Service Pack 1 first and then perform the reinstallation of Windows XP and to check if the installation goes smoothly.

Original title: 10 free for Vista Windows?
Hello
I know that Windows 10 will be a free Windows 7 upgrade or 8/8.1 for the first year. I run Vista Ultimate, and I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 as well. I'm not interested in upgrading my Vista installation - it's almost 10 years and it's time to start over. I'll be able to install Windows 10 from scratch and use my Vista license to activate Windows 10? I totally understand don't want not to support an upgrade of a system of directly to 10 Microsoft Windows Vista, but Vista licenses will be able to 'upgrade' to Windows 10 licenses? I have not found information on it online. Everything speaks to us (ameioration) for Windows 7/8/8.1 for Windows 10. It would be a shame for Microsoft to extend an olive branch to some legitimate users of Windows and others do not.
Thank you

I am trying to reinstall Windows Vista from my drive hard can u help me__
I need some help tryin to reinstall windows vista from my hard drive, I went on the recovery program who was here and burned a cd, but none of the programs on my computer it open so I need to know how to reinstall it from my disk hard please
You normally have to boot from the recovery disc:
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to perform a recovery of the recovery hard disk Partition.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For any questions/problems about the recovery process, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the computer.
It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?
Greetings!
The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.
I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?
What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?
I do not understand your question about "interface."
The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.
See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab
Your computer was preinstalled with:
Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)
and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.
My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.
Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows. That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».

Need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium (links are down)
You have a problem here. My laptop was pre installed with windows 7 Home premium. And, he has been infected with the virus. I tried to update using samsung recovery program and will end up being crushed. You have no recovery disk or USB. Searching through Internet, but the links are all down. I know that these days people prefer to use windows 8, but I prefer this windows. Hope someone can provide me with new link. It is windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OA SEA. And I have the product key. No worries.
Hello
Check with support from Samsung and their documentation online. They allow the recovery and
clean if necessary installation media. Which should be at low cost since you already own windows.You mean reinstall the OS completely? If you have the Windows 7 DVD you can do however
don't forget to completely backup your data off the drive, and you need to reinstall your programs. If you
don't have Windows 7 disks, you can buy them in your machine to cheap system. If you don't like
on existing programs then you can do a complete new installation - just select the format options
which erases the entire disc (This erases all data as well).Some system manufacturers use Partitions of recovery as well as other methods to allow you to return
Back to a completely new installation. So check with your system manufacturer to see what options
you need to do - and certainly do - just a question of the process of the
Manufacturer of the system put in place for you.How can I perform a clean Installation of Windows?

Maybe I deleted Internet Explorer is it possible? Yes if the reason for which I cannot reinstall Windows XP? I have run from the cd, but more a step further. I removed the original in the hope to reinstall that my pc would be allowed again. Would appreciate any help.
Hello
Internet Explorer is part of the XP operating system that is located on the CD. It is on the CD and is installed as part of the installation process

Fully formatted my Sansa Clip, in any case I can reinstall the firmware from scratch?
I've deleted some songs using a Mac but noted they were still playable from my sansa and when I plugged on a PC the files not found so I decided it would be a fine idea to format the thing and reinstall from scratch.
I'm having a little trouble finding how do and now starting to worry that my pure idiocy has ruined my sansa clip for me.
I was running Rockbox when this whole thing started, if that helps at all.

You can either reinstall the computer, which means it will have ANYTHING to this topic, or you can do a system restore when it was working fine.
