Reinstalling windows 7 upgrade disc.

If someone could help please, I have upgraded windows vista professional to Windows 7 Professional some time ago. My hard drive is damaged and I need to install a new one. Is it possible to install Windows 7 Professional and activate using my license with upgrade key or I need to reinstall vista and go through the upgrade process?

  • Do I have to do a clean install of Windows 7 upgrade disc?

    Hello

    I use a retail version upgrade of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a desktop PC, I've implemented myself 4 years ago.  I have upgraded to Windows XP then.

    I think I would buy a new card mother and CPU in another year and I hope that my current installation of Windows 7 on my hard drive (fairly recent) current will be able to start with the new MB and CPU - and just to require new drivers for chipset.  However, I know that this will not work and I might have to reformat the drive and do a clean install of Windows 7.  I'll be able to do it from my Windows 7 upgrade installation disc?

    Unfortunately, I got rid of my old XP drive because I'm moving soon and I threw it without thinking.  Do I need to reinstall Windows 7?  I still have my old XP serial number and product key, and of course, my Windows 7 product key and serial number.  Also, I have an old system repair disc and could make another if this will help.  Thanks for your advice.

    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.

    Try the following:

    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)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

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

  • How do I reinstall Windows 7 Upgrade disk on the new hard drive

    Hi all.
    I had a hard drive crash on my Dell XPS420 who settled with Vista. I've upgraded to Windows 7 (from the offer of activation of 3 site) about 18 months ago. I am trying to buy a new hard drive and install Windows 7 onto the new drive. I only have 7 disc ultimate improvement. I don't have a Vista disc. What is my best course of action? Thanks in advance for the help & support.

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    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)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

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

  • Qosmio X 300 - 15U - key product for Windows 7 upgrade disc

    Hi all
    first post here :)

    I have a Qosmio X 300 15U and just bought DVD update for the operating system: to Vista64 for Windows 7 (home premium).
    I got it by Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade site.

    I installed the upgrade and it works fine, so far.
    Only possible problem for the future, is that I can't find product key label Windows 7 attached to the case of paper (probably lost) DVD
    I have the DVD (for other series, almost...)

    Anyone know if it is possible to make the Toshiba support, send my old Windows 7 key product or a new (only in the case of reinstall...)
    It also appears that Microsoft has validated my install via their tool (WGA, I think)
    I have to go back to using MS (paid), for such a (simple, for me) case?
    Hope not.

    Thank you very much.

    Bye,.

    Diego

    I don't know if Toshiba can send you a new label productkey, you must call the assistance service. But to find your product, you need a key research tool.

    If this is not the case, can I order Toshiba to make a DVD of recovery for Windows 7 specially for my version of the laptop and if so, what version of Windows 7 toshiba will give me?

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    All the information you want to know that you can find on the Windows 7 upgrade page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > Windows 7 read more

    As you can see a free update is possible on mobile phones purchased from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.
    In addition your model isn't Windows 7 supported. There only driver limited support for a clean install of Windows 7 and so that you can t get a disc of Windows 7 at Toshiba.

    But all this information is already on the Toshiba page ;)

  • I want to reinstall windows and upgrading vista to windows 7. I don't have the recovery CD. How can I do this?

    Yes, it is said that in the title.  I want to reinstall them and upgrade.  If I buy and download the upgrade windows 7 will there be an option to wipe the hard drive and delete the partitions?

    Hi NoahFrank,

    No, you will not get an option to erase hard disk or delete partitions during the upgrade of your operating system. However, you will get this option during custom installation.

    Formatting your hard drive during a custom installation of Windows 7 permanently erases everything on the partition that you put in the form, including your files, settings and programs.

  • When to reinstall Windows 7 Upgrade it will require Windows Vista to be reinstalled also?

    computers portable hard drive is dead, had to be replaced.   Right now, I'm trying to reinstall vista from a recovery disk (taking all the patches) and then use the disk upgrade of windows 7 to install windows 7.   I thought to try a custom Setup, but I have this feeling that the win7 will search for a previous version of windows.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 Upgrade

    I recently had to reformat, so I lost the BONE and need to reinstall. The problem is that I have Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade so I can't activate it by using my upgrade key. In previous products, when tryng to install the upgrade on a clean disk, upgrade would require the previous OS disk, I have to insert. Is there a way I can do this with Windows 7?

  • Reinstall Windows Vista - no disc!

    Can someone help me please!  My Vista Home Premium recently became slow with several problems.  I recently updated my anti-virus software installed and run a registry clean program. The new version of anti virus seems to have caused problems - auto quarantine and deleting the .exe files for a lot of programs (e.g. wmplayer!). The antivirus software has also corrupted I open it is more!  I can't uninstall or reinstall the Virus software like 'windows install' is also now apparently not installed!

    So I thought that the best thing to do is to reinstall Vista and reformat the hard disk.  Problem.  I have the product key on the sticker on the back of the laptop, but as it came pre-installed with vista, I don't have an installation cd or dvd.  Anyone know how I can reininstall without one, or how I can get one from Sony or Microsoft?  Thank you.

    If the computer manufacturer did not include Vista drive/s, there should be a recovery hard disk Partition.

    It's the way they do now, most of the time. We are supposed to do the recovery disks it ourselves, with the instructions included in the software of the manufacturer installed in the start menu > programs.

    At the bottom of the splash Screen at startup/power on, there is usually a number key, F10 or F11, hit to start the recovery process, in order to resume the factory (out of the box) standards.

    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.

    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.

    Each manufacturer has their own way of doing a recovery to factory standards.

    And save all of your data before you do, as a resettlement wipe everything from your hard drive...
