• Reinstall Windows 7 Pro 64 bit after failure SSD

  The SSD in my HP laptop is not this weekend. He had installed on it when I bought Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. How can I reinstall the operating system, because I don't have the original OS installation key? Surely I don't have to buy a new OS. In fact, I plan on upgrading Windows 10 once that I get it upward and running.

  At the same time, I remember being able to call a technician at Microsoft, explain the situation and get a new key issued. Is it still possible?

  Dennis...

  Check the product key battery.

• How can I reinstall Windows 8 on an OEM laptop when I don't have the product key?

  I bought an Asus x401a laptop for my daughter as a Christmas gift. It comes preinstalled with Windows 8. Yesterday, the unit closed at key and we had to make a hard stop. On reboot, Windows will not start and instead came up with a screen that informed it was an automatic repair. This obviously didn't want to; the unit restarted and launched the auto repair, which once again. The third box... I had a few options: I could update the installation or reset it. There were several recorded files (we only had a few weeks), so I chose Reset, which if I understand correctly, it would clear everything and start over. After a while, another screen informed me that Windows could not reset the computer, who took over the entire process to the wire.

  I ran across this process several times, each time with the same result. I do not think that anything is actually wrong with the material (such as menus and other seem to work correctly; I think it's maybe just a corrupted file system) and I'd like to do a reinstall of the operating system, as it came from the factory. This is where I ran into my problem:

  • I can't download the Microsoft operating system legitimately, without providing the product key in the download tool
  • The product key is apparently built into the BIOS and not print anywhere, so I can't find my existing key without some sort of tool
  • Various tools are available to 'sniff' the product key from the BIOS, but because Windows is not running, I can't use them

  So my question is: exactly what should be my next step? ASUS would have a copy of the key related to my serial number, etc.. ? Should I install an old copy of Windows 7 just so that I can run a utility to get the key from the BIOS, or who will replace the number by something else? Or is there perhaps some way I can get the key of product directly from you?

  I like to keep Windows 8, as my daughter has already learned the interface, but at this point, it looks like this may be impossible by design.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you reinstall Windows 8 in the OEM specifications.

  As it is the OEM of Windows 8 version, the system manufacturer will have more details in this regard. I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the system.

• Reinstall XP Pro upgrade after formatting the hard drive, the invalid product key

  I'm going through a gateway with xp adding purched proessional xp home. The hard drive has been formatted before the upgrade.  When I get the xp professional product key I get an error message indicating the product key is not valid.  The product key, as I enter corresponds to the product key in the business directory to the i386/unatended.txt xp CD.

  Thank you

  Steve

  1. have you fully formatted the hard drive?

  2. what type of Windows XP Professional CD? It of an upgrade or clean installation CD?

  As you have formatted the hard disk, you can perform a clean install will impose you an operating system available on the computer to perform an installation upgrade.

  You cannot use the upgrade product key to perform a clean installation.

• I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive. He is now not letting me turn it back on.

  original title: activation problem

  -I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive.  He is now not letting me turn it back on.  What should I do?  I don't want my computer or Microsoft thinks I use a version of Windows

  It is Windows 7 Home Premium, and I my here in front of me activation code.  But it is to say that it is not valid.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Replace hard drive, no readable product key; How to reinstall Windows 7?

  I bought a Dell laptop with Windows 7: Home Premium pre-installed a year and half ago.  The hard drive just completely crushed, and I just got a replacement hard drive for it.  The computer did not include a recovery disk, and the product key on the bottom sticker has worn to the point of being unreadable.  How can I reinstall Windows 7 for the new hard drive?

  You need to contact DELL technical support about obtaining a replacement product key because they are responsible for the license that is preloaded on your computer.

• My sisters thinkpad XP pro is unstable and it has lost its drive. I can reinstall using my xp pro disk and its product key?

  My sisters thinkpad XP pro is unstable and it has lost its drive.  I can reinstall using my xp pro disk and its product key?

  I fixed it!

  I couldn't work at all Internet Explore.  I finally installed Superantispyware from a USB pendrive and it ran in safe mode without network.  So I ran Malwarebytes and ccleaner.  After a reboot, everything works great again.  I could install Microsoft Security Essentials and get current updates.  After a smart defrag it turns really well now.

  I was able to make a recovery cd set too.  It will be just as good as if I he burned them on a new computer?  I mean can the data used to make these CDs get corrupted over time?  This laptop is 6 years old.

  Thank you for your willingness to help.

• Reinstallation of Windows 8 on new SSD

  Hi, I have recently acquired a new SSD and a new hard drive after suspecting that my old hard drive was a failure. I tried to do a clean install of Windows 8 on the new SSD, but instead the clean install just erased from my hard drive and reinstalled the old hard disk. I tried the old hard drive to the OS on the new SSD cloning and booting from the SSD, but it does not work, how I go about doing that?

  I bought Windows 8 Pro online and downloaded later, I don't have a backup/install disk and I don't have any more uses on my key (it was 1 key/use only) this is why I did not format and reinstall.

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  So make sure that you do this first, then proceed to reinstall Windows 8 Pro and then again by phone:

  You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

  Activation of the phone:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Try to do a clean install of Windows 7 to new SSD, would like to know if I can use the same product key.

  Original title: re-install Windows 7

  Hello. I recently built my own PC and installed a purchased copy of Windows 7 hard disk. I'm upgrading to an SSD 120 GB and I was wondering if there was a way completely erase my old hard drive for all files and all re - install windows using my CD key and product. I heard that once you use the product key, the copy of Windows is 'married' to this hard drive and the key cannot be used anywhere else. Is this true? Basically, I'm doing a clean install on this new SSD. Thank you.

  Not at all, you can erase and reinstall Windows as many times as you want as long as you have the product key.  The only restriction is that the key can be used only on one computer at a time.  Unless this key is used somewhere else, you can install a billion times.  The key is what you pay for, not the CD (in fact, if you lose the CD you can download another copy, but you need to keep your secret key).

  In any case, the process is simple: just put in the CD and restart and follow the steps to install.  When you get calls that lead to install on, you have options to format (erase) the drive and basically start over completely.

  The only real thing you need to know is that, after the installation, you will need to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your computer.  According to the computer, you may need to get the driver of network from another computer and copy it using a flash drive (if the network needs the driver before it can connect).
