Reinstall Windows after removed 10.
I had installed Windows 10 on my Macbook through Bootcamp without a USB key.
I'm not if happy with the size of the partition that I made so I decided to remove Windows 10 and reinstall.
After that I removed and open Bootcamp to reinstall, it requires a USB port.
How can I install Windows 10 without a USB stick just like the first time?
What year/model is your Mac?

Impossible to reinstall windows after having disinfected disc
Hello experts,
I ran the disk on an elitebook8470p Sanitizer. She completed successfully, wiping everything as planned.
Now I am trying to reinstall windows 7, using the "windows repair disc" I created with the hp utility.
Problem is, there is no option to install windows 7.
Just a bunch of options to repair, diagnose or reinstall from an image (but it has not listed to choose from images).
Don't I have the wrong disc?
Can someone share a list of steps to follow after disinfection drive contest?
Thank you
Hello
The repair disk you mention does not contain the files to reinstall Windows 7, it simply provides a way to access recovery and diagnostic option etc.
There are two options available.
1. you can order the HP operating system recovery disc.
2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).
An example of a COA label can be seen here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc you using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( that must be the same version that originally came with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here. These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).
Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

Laptop will not reinstall windows after the factory system recovery
So I have a laptop HP which is relatively new. I recently acquired the Virus 2010 Vista AntiVirus Pro. When the malware and spyware could not fix the problem, I decided to do a system restore, which would put the computer to the way it was when I bought it. I backed up the files and do the system recovery. He filled the recovery then said it will re-start to reinstall windows and complete the process.
After the restart as it gets and error that says: "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install Windows, click "ok" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. »
The only option is to click on 'ok', but after clicking it he is trying to reboot once again and the same error comes back. We tried to manually close the laptop and restart, but we always get the same error. I can get the start menu when the information system and the recovery is but to the past is just the mistake. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I don't know what else to do.

Problem with the HP recovery process, contact HP at the link above.
This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.
See you soon.

My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?
Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.
Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

I have a laptop Acer 4720 with valid product key of Vista Home Premium OEMact and COA label, my problem is the HD is broken and I need to install the new HD and then reinstall windows, but I have not all disks (was on the recovery partition which is good), so what are my options? Can I use any family Vista Edition installation disc Premium and then activate my license key?
Hi again,
You use the product key on your computer case with the Installation DVD Microsoft process.
As I advised alreasdy, recovery from other manufacturers discs are of no use for this
The only thing is that you may need to make a phone Activation, do it this way and not use auto invite, but hold the line for a person to physically respond to your call.
I would advise not to download an ISO of Vista on the Internet, you will find that they are pirated and malicious programs containing versions changed.
The DVDs are not available from Microsoft.
When I informed 'borrow' that's what I meant. a friend, acquantance workplace, etc.
Or if you know someone with the same model of Acer and Vista operating system, you might try their recovery disks.
See you soon.

How can I reinstall Windows after replacing the hard drive? I don't have the disk.
Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
My daughter has a computer with Windows Vista Home Premium. His hard drive went bad and I will install another. I would like to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium, but can not find the disc. I don't have the license code information, but I can't find where I can download the program. Can someone help me?
Hello
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Question about reinstalling Windows after virus/malware crashed the system
OK, I'm not exactly super tech savvy but I can manage. Here's my dilemma. I clicked a bad link in a Yahoo search and started getting all sorts of flashing messages that my laptop has been infected. The next thing I know... Windows (I have Vista) crashed and does not now.
Question #1 - so... can I spend $85 and make it my buddy to the computer to reinstall Vista... or can I invest in upgrading to Windows 7?
Question #2-si I do it myself, can I just go ahead an installation of Windows 7 since I have no operating system on it because Vista won't load?
I'd appreciate any help I can get with that. I really think that whatever it is, I would be smart to buy Windows so I have to drive since it is not come with the laptop or my all-in-one.
Thank you!!!
Hello
If necessary, you can record all necessary data (files) by putting the hard drive as 2nd in another computer
or in an external box and copy of the data on the removable memory (CD, DVD, USB key or)
others).The physical disks in Vista can be purchased cheaply system machine since you already own windows.
Ask them about Windows 7 as they could also make a case here. Normally, it would be more advantageous for you
to buy the disks of Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 (unless the system manufacturer has a special offer).
Before upgrade you to Windows 7 make sure that the system and the software will run you on it.To run the Upgrade Advisor you will need Vista work. Check with your system manufacturer support
and/or support of any specific manufacturer of the device to make sure the drivers are available for your system.Windows 7 Upgrade Advisorhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx
Also check the Compatibility Center
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspxI hope this helps.

Impossible to reinstall LR5 after removing to change the installation location
After update of creative cloud, location instalation restored by default. I had already installed LightRoom5 to the default location. I removed the LR5 using programs and features. Restarting the machine. CCApp was told that Lightroom5 is always installed. Impossible to reinstall in the correct location as LTCC think program is installed
Issue seems to be caused by uninstalling or LR5 not done via the request manager. Uninstallation of Photoshop CC has been processed by Application Manager. Reinstalling Photoshop CC completed at the new location with no problems.

Pavilion P6-2469eo: Reinstalling windows after HARD drive crash
Hi, I just bought a defective HP Pavilion P6 known. After receiving and checking, it appears that the hard drive is faulty.
The machine does not start, I have activated POST messages and now a screen message saying that 'no boot disk was detected, or the drive failed. The DPS self test fails with code 7.
I disabled the secure boot and can boot from a CD of Linux, so I know that, basically, the computer is still alive
My question is, once I have comes from replacing the hard drive, I can get a copy of replacement windows to HP or do I buy one out of the copy of the Windows Tablet (or install Linux)?
I was told that the machine is two years old and just out of warranty.
Thank you!
If out of warranty, you will most likely need to buy a set of HP or a partner of HP recovery disk. The good thing is that it's a reasonable price.

Mr. self - rightous "how further I can help you today" Microsoft informs me that EVERYONE KNOWS to keep this info;
I told him I hope he has ability to view and the brain at my age to remember or be able to do the task himself.
Of course if I want to 'gift' of Microsoft will be free of charge another $40 to give me another product number.
Allowing paid once in the fourth, it's a computer at home, I have the drive, it used to work fine, I never use a Word sometimes ~
I can't be bothered; I'll explain to you just for the little girl that GUYS at microsoft has taken their photo / i.e. screensaver.
Have anice day :)
Have you checked the side or the bottom of your box for a laptop at the bottom or inside the battery case the product key.

Reinstalling windows after disk wipe
I want to give my old 17 inch HP laptop after wiping a disk full. I have the MS info on a sticker on the underside of the computer and have 4 old marked CD recovery disc 1-4. When I insert first the one that it is not enough not surprisingly. Tried to restart with the second in the disk drive, but get a message "" no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any ", but when I press a key the same message reappears.» Any help appreciated.
I never tried to burn the CD because I was not 100% sure how to do that and because the ISO file and send it to finally download USB. Thought I was gold then. Then, the anomaly of my friends to the millisecond, which refused to recognize that I had spent money on their product when I bought the computer loaded with their program. At this point I have tried to burn the CD, but decided instead to spend which ended at $30 for three good causes: 1) for help a Somali immigrant Lady of merit very; (2) to preserve my sanity; and, (3) to preserve yours. Probably, if I were a bit more computer savvy, we would have both had a little more time week last to use, but it should work. I appreciate a lot the time spent to help me. Alan
