• Windows 7 Home Premium invalid product key.

  Hi all!

  Hope you can help me out here. I have an old Dell Inspiron 1525 with 7 Home Premium.

  I had to do a repair reinstall because of virus issues, and every time I try to activate windows it says that my product key is not valid. I tried online with automated phone activation and with an agent of the customer on the line, nothing helps.

  I have the portable authentication certificate delivered with and I was wondering if there is information which could be used to verify my product, or is there anything else I can do to check this version of 7?

  Thanks in advance!

  Thanks for your help, everyone! In fact, I managed to get the product key to work when I tried again. No idea of what makes the difference, but it's great to have such a mass of knowledge here.

  Thanks again!

  Exactly, I'm looking for a .iso or the download of Windows 7 Home Edition Premium or 8 - 8.1 upgrade of Windows Vista Edition Windows Home Premium.

  I'm also curious if I can or will be able to use the two product keys I have, which are:

  * The one who accompanies the computer located in START, made a click right COMPUTER, properties.

  I'm on Windows Vista, I would update to Windows 7 Home Premium at least.

  USB Boot

  With my two key product or not at all if possible key.

  Advice, useful information, download links, solutions?

  Please share and thank you in advance!

  Is it possible that I'll be able to use the product from the installation disc key twice on a different computer if I install it on Windows 7 Home Premium?

  Edit:

  To be more precise, could I use the same disc installation and key on both computers at the same time?

  No, a key = a single computer. Each PC must have its own unique and valid product key to stay activated.

• Windows 7 Home Premium, my product key on the bottom would work if I clicked on "change product key"?

  Original title: ASUS x501a Windows 7-8.

  Hi all

  I just registered here after having been a Microsoft user, since I started using computers, I think that when I started to use it is Windows XP haha, anyway.

  I'm running Windows 7 on the following specifications

  4 GB of Ram

  HARD DRIVE 300 GB

  Intel core i3 clocked at 2.6 GHz

  Intel HD 3000 graphics card

  and it's an Asus x501a comes with 7 not 8, so I've upgraded to Windows 8, then I found out, I removed my recovery partition. Oops.

  I know it's not a way to make it back, unless I did a copy of CD as I do not have.

  so, if I got a copy of my friends Windows 7 Home Premium, my product key on the lower part would work if I clicked on "change product key"?

  Thank you

  PS: Sorry for mistakes in my writing, I'm not used to a Macbook: P

  If your friend has a retail upgrade or full version and it corresponds to the edition of your PC, then Yes, you can use it.

• Disks for Vista Edition OS Home Premium x 64

  Hello

  I have two HP computers, a dx7500 and a Pavilion a6512p. The dx7500 came with Vista (Business 32-bit) OS disks, but the a6512p did not come with a set of disks of BONE. Is it possible to buy, HP, a set of operating system from Vista x 64 Home Premium DVD?

  Please note that I am not looking to "restore" disks, or "recovery" disks - I would like to get (if that is possible) a set of actual operating system installation DVD for my a6512p, just as I have for the dx7500.

  Thanks much for any help you could give.

  Hello:

  You can do your own Vista disc and use the product key to activate the installation.

  If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

  The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

  The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

  When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

• Reinstalling vista laptop on the net with product key.

  I tried to restore my laptop and an error, and nothing seems to work. I think that I have to reinstall windows. I have windows Home premium key at the back of my laptop. I need to know if I should buy a new OS or if I could use this product key to download vista Home premium?

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  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 make a recovery.

  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.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.

  .

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

  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.

• Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium Windows Vista Business

  Hello

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion dv6 1199EE laptop and it has a version of Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 system Type 32 bit installed.

  Now, I want this transition to Windows Vista Business full Edition without formatting & reinstall OS because I don't want to lose the features & programs came with the lap top. I would buy the Windows Vista Professional with the product key on the local market in my country.

  First of all, I want your advice what is the best Vista professional should I buy?

  Second, what are the professional measures to update without formatting the hard drive of my laptop?

  Concerning

  Mr. Sayadi

  You cannot upgrade Vista Home Premium to Vista Business.

  It is not a Vista upgrade path.

  You have clean installation, back up ALL your data and reinstall all the programs.

  Upgrade paths:

  -of Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate.
  -from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate.
  -from Vista Business to Ultimate

  And there's no. Vista Business Ultimate version.

  You will need to purchase a full version of Vista Business and do a clean install.

  OR buy a Vista Ultimate upgrade version and do a upgrade.

  If you do an upgrade to Vista Ultimate, it SHOULD be with a 32-bit Ultimate Upgrade disk.

  There is only a single company of Vista, but you can buy the full version 32 bit or 64 bit OS and do a clean install...

  All depends on the amount of RAM for the need to use.

• Problem of formatting windows vista edition upgrade Home premium

  A few years ago I bought a pc custom made and also bought a version ledgit of windows xp media Center, with this, I also received a free uprade for windows vista home edition premium, I gave it some time before moving to vista (because of all the initial problems that vista had when he was releaeased).

  But now I have vista on my pc is for a year or two irratically running at least, so I desperately need to format my pc, I have read in various articles that once you upgrade to vista xp your original key to become obsolete, surely this cannot be the case, I paid full price for the Media Center program , and if indeed this is the case how do I clean my pc and reinstall vista on it.

  Thanks in advance for any response to my dilemma

  bigsi69

  This is your key to your XP license.

  You can wipe the computer and reinstall.

  It now part of the process to upgrade and stop install you on another computer.

  But you can use it to reinstall > then go back to Vista.

  If you have any problems, just call Microsoft and explain what you are doing.

  See you soon.

• Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  Hi!, I need help.  I tried to understand the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 but I have not been able to fully understand the various issues.  My dilemma is this. I have a House runing PC with Windows Vista Home Premium and I want to install a version of Windows 7 Professional.  The package I have indicates whether an upgrade, but when playing in the homepage of Microsofts, in my view, that I understand that to switch from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, I need to do a full install, not an upgrade.  Because my package bed upgrade, I don't know if it contains the program needed to make an installation full or not.  I don't want to start and install and find out in the middle that I don't have the good disk to complete the task.  Could someone who knows about it could give me the right path to follow. I will be very greatfull for any guidance. Thank you.

  See this simplified table of upgrade: http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/windows-upgrade-chart-eb-remake-final3.png?tag=col1;post-1246

  Vista Home Premium upgrade to Win7 professional will require one in Place (i.e., update Win7 Home Premium) and an Express Upgrade (from Win7 Home Premium to Win7 professional).
