• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Tecra S11 - How to reinstall Windows 7 after upgrading the HARD drive?

  How to reinstall Windows 7 pro after an upgrade to 500 GB HARD drive? How to access password protected data after relocation? How can I get a professional installation of Windows 7 DVD?

  (I do not installed new HARD drive yet, but I intend)

  Hey Buddy,

  You have created the Toshiba Recovery disk? Perfect!
  After Exchange of HARD drive, you need this you to install Windows 7 disc. The Toshiba Recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings, which means that you will have the factory settings on the new HARD drive after the use of the disc. You must boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  It would be interesting to know what data you mean exactly.
  Before you reinstall Windows, you must back up all data on a disk for example external HARD.

• G570 - How to reinstall Windows 7 after replacing a hard drive that crashed?

  Hi all

  I have a Lenovo G 570 and was very happy with it. Unfortunately, I had a hard drive crash (totally my bad, I dropped the laptop on the floor).

  In any case I had to change my drive hard because I got this message: "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key any." I have always this message with the new hard drive which makes sense since I have to reinstall Windows 7, but the problem is that I don't have a sticker with the product key

  Does this mean that the Windows product key is in the Bios? How can I get? Contact Lenovo to get a new product key and pay for it?

  A big thank you to the person who will be able to help me with this, can not wait to start to use my Lenovo again.

• Reinstall Windows 7 after upgrade to 8

  Hello. I wonder if it's LEGAL to return to Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 8. I don't know the overview of consumption, but the final version since October 25. I have a laptop HP with pre installed Windows 7. I can simply restore Windows 7 and continue without a reactivation? How would this work? And what will happen on the disk to upgrade of Windows 8? I have an image of windows 7 to reinstall. I'm not worried about windows.old folder. I was wondering about the legality of the process.

  Thank you, Andre Da Costa for all info on how to do. While it was useful, but I wanted to know if it is legal to do so.

  Perfectly legal, because the machine has obtained a license for this.

• 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".

• Reinstalling windows 7 after upgrading windows 10 PC Restore

  try to reinstall windows 7 Home premium Service Pack 1 DVD to boot. starts with loading files, then a selection box appears but I do not have access to pointer or keyboard mouse @ the first option, this being-select country - language ect... no access to choose so I stop PC using the power button / stop. can any 1 help?

  Hey did some checking in the forums and the web and found that a lot of people have had this problem and 99% of the time it was a bios problem. Make sure you also in your startup list you have the correct boot order which, for the most part, is cd, usb, hard drive, in that order. There is also an option called usb legacy list or just the usb mode to make it compatible. If you have difficulties to enter your bios, here is a list of keys

  ASUS - F8
  HP/Compaq - Esc
  Sony - F2
  Acer - F12
  Gateway - F10
  eMachnes - F10
  Toshiba - F12
  Dell - F12

  NEC - F2

  Make sure to go through all the lists in the bios and check to the right of the keyboard and usb ect. and he'll say: enabled or disabled. Make sure you that you save your settings before you leave.

  Moreover, for some depending on your bios keyboard and mouse are on the Advanced tab.  Once again not sure how old your system is or what type of machine you have, but that's what you're looking for

• Reinstalling windows 8 after hard drive failure

  Let's say I bought a laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled (I'm considering the purchase Lenovo Yoga 13)

  and then one of the following things occur:
  -my hard drive dies
  -I want to repartition the hard disk and format it
  -I want to buy a new hard drive and replace the existing one
  The question: what is the safe way to reinstall the OEM of Windows 8, which comes with the laptop on a clean
  (no restore partition) hard drive?
  Here, the assumption is that I start with a laptop from work 'by default'.

  Some information:
  I read some topics on these forums and my current understanding is that the activation key for OEM Windows 8 is stored somewhere in the BIOS/UEFI and can be removed by windows installed. I'm fine with that. Where can I get the installation media in this case? In the Microsoft store I was informed (by a technician) that I would essentially need to purchase an OEM Windows 8. Certainly, I hope this gentleman, I was talking to does not know his business. I think know that by buying the windows laptop I also buy the license for this particular Windows OEM installed on it (related to hardware and all).

  Hello

  After looking around a bit, I can't find no details on a recovery device at all either. Only something about a picture "Recovery."

  The problem is that if your hard drive is a replacement or reformatted, it seems to me that the image would be useless because the software required to load it would be gone.

  Unless the 'Image' would contain the necessary software to load, and it's doubtful...

  Thus,.

  I would suggest picking up Acronis image, preferably of the Plus Pack version, or something similar...

  I tried a number of programs, including the most free, image and Acronis seems to be the better (and faster).

  There are a few programs that can detect that they have been refilled from an image and require reinstallation... That almost never seems to happen with Acronis images for some reason any.

  You can often find it for sale cheap and sometimes free after rebate, if you want to wait...

  It compresses the Image, she creates and takes much less space as a result...

  I have a 128 GB SSD, responsible for programs that absorb about 60 GB... Acronis compresses the image to 20 GB.

  It reloads the Image on ANY HDD\SSD that is large enough... 60GB for example.

  You can Image the entire drive or individual partitions... In your case, I recommend both as soon as you get the computer. Just to cover all bases.

  The only withdrawal to it is that you will need an external HARD drive or a Flash capacity...

  I make the Images of new OS every time I do a great time of change or put to date. In case of problem, 15 minutes to make a new image is nothing compared to having to start again.

  I currently have about 10 images to win 8 since I installed it taking about 180 GB...

  My understanding is that the installation of Acronis CD is also bootable... which is when you want to use it anyway. I can't confirm that at this time because my bootable CD was burned by the installed version of Acronis and I can't find the original disc to test it.

• Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

  Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

  If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

  1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
  2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

  Anyone know the answers to these questions?

  Thank you

  You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

  My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

  Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.
