• I had my 7 reinstalled windows on my computer and I was able to activate it without writing the product key.

  Hello.

  I decided to reinstall my OS Window 7 64 bit earlier. I took my computer to a local computer store and they have reinstalled for me. After reinstalling, I was told that I need to activate my Windows 7 as soon as possible by dialing a number they gave me. When I got home, I opened Windows and he went to control panel / system where I found the part windows activation. Well, I clicked to activate Windows 7 and she did it without asking me for a product key or command me to use the phone activation! As part of the Windows activation, it reads now that my Windows is activated. Is this normal?

  My operating system to Windows 7 64 - bit is an OEM license that I got when I bought my computer a few years ago. When I took my computer to the store for reassembly, they do not have to remove or change no matter what hardware on my computer, they have just reinstalled the operating system. The store where they were doing the resettlement was NOT the same store where I orginally bought my computer. As I understand it, a Windows with OEM license is activated on one computer so I was quite surprised that I didn't have to call the activation number or enter the product key.

  Is it normal for a sub - OEM license of Windows 7?  My WIndows 7 it is operated properly or I do something?

  Thank you for your help.

• Recovery discs and product keys?

  My laptop came with no recovery disc and began to play up if I want to erase everything and leave. The disks of backup that have been made are only records do not and do not let me recover the system. Can I use a disc of recovery from another PC, but enter the product key for the laptop? My two machines running Vista Home premium. The disc of recovery for a Dell desk top and my laptop is a Sony. Is it still possible to interchange the recovery discs? I have to download different drivers for the laptop before you erase the hard drive? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Gary.

  Hello

  Sorry, but you cannot use a recovery disk on a Sony Dell.

  This applies to all of the different brands.

  And if you have problems with the backup disks you made, read this information toreinstall Vista:

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• I had to reinstall Windows Xp Pro, the product key will not work.

  I have not changed any hardware or anything like that. I downloaded the updates of msupdates and my computer went the fritz would not do anything. I reinstalled windows xp pro from the restore disc that came with my computer. The product key is not accepted by windows to activate it. I need to know what to do. It's a Dell optiplex 2.8 gig Board and proc 2 gig of ram. Anyway when I bought.

  Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.

  You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.

  You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.

  If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.

• Upgraded to WIN 7 can reinstall vista with a new product key the use of dual boot even reinstall disk and computer

  OK, so I've upgraded windows vista to windows 7 and now I want to reinstall vista as a dual boot. I understand that my vista OEM license is now linked to the 7 upgrade, but if I buy a new vista product key can I still use the vista reinstallation disc came with my Dell laptop. I do not know because the drive is a Dell reinstall the drive, but it is on the same computer. The disk is bound to the OEM key or a different key will activate again with her.

  Dell drive is related to the OEM license and, normally, the motherboard.

  If you want to dual-boot, you will need to buy a separate FULL Vista / / license-product disk key.

  It comes as a Package

  See your local computer Store, or online: Newegg, Amazon, etc.

• reinstalled win7 Home premium, need product key

  Hello, as in the title, I have reinstalled my laptop with win7 home prem who which was preinstalled when you bought the computer and as you know with a new installation, ask your product key.
  Well, many people probably have the same problem as me, the sticker of windows security on computer background with the product key to this topic has disappeared.
  the copy of windows 7 Home premium that I use is a bootleg copy that I download from some torrent sites, I know that it's ok because I used it to reinstall the other computers, and then using the product keys for computers.

  as far as I know or have been told by a tech guy that fixs for a large company named computers is that the product key is engraved somewhere on motherboards memory and can be retrieved.
  does any 1 know how to retrieve the product key of this way of the motherboard.

  any help or advice would be welcome, thank you.

  Hello

  Your product key is not engraved on the memory of the motherboard in Windows 7

  You need the COA sticker with the product key, but it's faded away.

  Your choice is now limited in what you can do without having to buy a new product/license key.

  Because Windows 7 is pre-installed:

  You can contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  The installation of the "pirated" copy process may have ruined this option

  If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the hard drive Partition to reinstall Windows 7 back to the way in which you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
