Replace a copy of Windows 7 without C.O.A or disc. a copy of Windows 7 with a drive and the appeal docket.

Hello

I just bought a computer with a copy on win 7-64 bit but no disk or the appeal record

I have a commercial version with two discs 32 & 64-bit, the appeal record which is not used and not activated.

I want to install my copy so I can reinstall if necessary.

I want to do it WITHOUT a format due to other gear that is on the disk hard drive which I want to keep - Win Office with no. disc either.

I'll be able to do this.

The Win Office software is a 'install x number of copies on computers with a single disk' type of product.

It should be simple, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Also, perhaps, there is a way of advertising just the tender without having to install the drive, I'm not sure.

Cheers Chris

You can only do this if your personal copy is the same edition installed on the computer, if not, you will need to either do an Express of the edition currently installed upgrading if the edition installed is less than the edition that you have or that you consider doing a custom installation.

How to make an Express Upgrade:

Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option to enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 edition when asked, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 your files, programs and settings retained.

(Please note that Anytime Upgrade only upgraded to a higher edition (Starter > Home Basic > Home Premium > Professional > ultimate).) You can not downgrade.

If it's the same edition, simply change the product key:

Press Windows key + R

Type: slui.exe 3

Press enter

Enter your product key, and then click next to activate via the Internet.

I'll be able to do this.

If the machine is already preinstalled with a copy of Windows 7 and its active, what really is the problem?

Why is it necessary to have the certificate of authenticity in hand? If the machine doesn't work and does what it's supposed to as expected and you can install your applications and use them, then you need not to worry about the COA.

The certificate of authenticity that normally found in the compartments of battery or memory of your laptop or at the bottom of the laptop chassis. If this is a desktop computer, you can look at the side or at the top.

If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

Option 2:

If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    Hello

    In this case, you can delete the partitions - as you have already removed the original operating system, you would not be able to create a set of recovery discs from the recovery Partition that you have lost the application Recovery Manager required to create, but you can always order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below.

  • Pavilion dv6600ev: I would like to replace the HARD drive and the RAM in my HP laptop. I want to check compatibility

    Hello guys. I would like to replace the HARD drive and the RAM in my HP laptop. I would check the compatibility. For the momemt, I have 2 x 512 MB of RAM and a 160 GB HARD drive. Does anyone know the type of RAM (DDR1 or DDR2 most) and the accepted maximum capacity. Also the SATA port is a SATA I? Besides, I'm going to change the operating system (preferably in Win 7) so is there a driver?

    You can install DDR2-800 modules and they are the most widely available at this point, but the memory will run at 667 mhz speed.

    I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification.

    Hi abgolf3,

    The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted.  Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage.  Is all the space on the disk are responsible?  If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

    Mark a partition as active

    Format a hard drive or partition to NTFS format

  • In Windows 7 when you try to copy files to an external hard drive, getting the error "are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?

    I know there have been a few posts on this in the past, but I have a slightly different query.

    To copy files from my drive NTFS of Windows 7 64 bit for my Western Digital My Book World Edition II 2 GB player manually, not with the WD software provided), for some files, the following message appears.
    "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?  The X file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location. »
    After investigation, it appears that Western Digital My Book World Edition II is not NTFS format and is, in fact, driven Linux.
    Their technical support has confirmed that, despite the message, it is safe to copy files and rely on this backup (I want to backup my drive HARD whole so I can do a clean install - so it's really important!).
    Is anyone able to advise exactly what means the message in terms of properties lost?

    If you right-click on one of the files in Windows Explorer, then select Properties, you will see the Details tab of the properties he wouldn't if the files have been copied to a drive not NTFS. They are written in an Alternate Data Stream (ADS), and the FAT format readers include ADS.

    It depends on the file type of the importance of these properties. If you have spent a lot of time, adding titles and comments and authors and authors e-mail addresses to docprops your Word documents, for example, that the work would be lost.

    If you can live with the loss of these properties, go ahead - standard properties will be re-writings in the file when you restore from backup. It's of course time and resources.

    To avoid this problem, format your external drive to use the NTFS system.

  • MOBO replaced need to reload Windows, can I go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7?

    Crashed my MOBO and I'm trying to replace the mobo and processor to upgrade the system.  I was running XP and is considering upgrading to Windows 7.  Since I have to reload Windows XP and the loss of everything on the hard drive, I plan to replace the HD.  Can I go directly to 7 or what I need to load XP first and then upgrade?

    First, you must decide whether to buy Windows 7 as an upgrade CD or a full commercial license holder.  A full retail version costs more than a version upgrade.  However, if you buy Windows 7 with full commercial license, you will avoid potential problems, as there is certainly no need to re - install Win XP.

    A clean install is always preferable to an upgrade, and in all cases, it is not possible to upgrade directly from Windows XP to Windows 7.  Even if you use a CD 'upgrade', you will need to perform a "Custom" or new installation of Windows 7.  A custom installation replaces not only Windows XP. It also replaces everything on the hard drive.

    In the past, you can use a CD to upgrade - to perform a new installation of a newer operating system.  For example, if you inserted a CD with version upgrade of Windows XP, the process could find a precedent (and real installation of Windows 98).  If this search detected Windows 98, the CD would be upgrading Windows 98 to Windows XP.

    If the search has not detected a previous installation of Windows 98 (on a new hard drive or recently formatted), it could prompt the user to insert his old CD of Windows 98.  After checking the validity of the Windows 98 CD, the CD 'upgrade' would continue the installation of Windows XP - as a new installation.

    According to the Microsoft website, all editions of Windows XP are eligible for an upgrade to Windows 7 - so if you use Win XP on your PC, Microsoft recommends that you buy a package labeled "Upgrade".  However, I don't know if the previous procedure will allow you to perform a new installation of Windows 7 on a new hard drive.  If this isn't the case, you might need to reinstall and validate Windows XP first, simply to confirm your eligibility for the upgrade version.

  • If I replace my 32-bit Windows 7 with a 64-bit version, can I still keep my old files, settings of the domain network and mac address?

    We bought the RAM for one of our PC, an upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB. Naturally, we must now upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Our PC is running on a domain within a university network network. We have experienced some problems with one of our PC recently, so I reinstalled Windows 32 bit (no formatting). After which I simply installed the motherboard network drivers, and with one or two small parameters we were back on the domain network. Previous data has been saved to the Windows.old folder, so we kept all our old data and re-installing Windows fixed all the problems we had.

    It is therefore clear that a reinstallation of 32-bit retains all the necessary parameters to return immediately to the domain network. My question is, will an upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit also keep the settings? Apparently, the essential is that the MAC address must remain the same, which I suppose it would be?

  • HP G71: Install the new hard drive and the raw copy

    Hello

    My HP G71 is 64-bit, 4 GB RAM and hard drive WD320BEVT. The laptop has more than 5 years of service and I want to replace with a new hard drive while performing a raw copy of the current. I have a dual boot Win 7/Ubuntu installation I want to keep on the new hard drive.

    As I have not found a new HD of the same type and capacity, I would like to replace the current one with an another Western Digital 2.5 ", the IDE interface, but with a capacity of 0.5 to 1 TB (I choose one or the other).

    My questions:

    -can I install one of these hard drives on this laptop? They are compatible with the current BIOS/chipset?

    -If I make a raw copy of the 320 GB drive to the 0.5 or 1 TB, how would the current operating system partitions will be reflected in a higher capacity drive?

    -J' bought an IDE/USB interface adapter as well as to make possible the raw copy, could you recommend, if these questions have the THUMB, a good free to use software that I could use?

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes I use Kubuntu and tried several times to just the entire disk image and it does not reproduce partitions Linux and Grub, but when you try to start Linux it will hang and say can not find the prior specific hard drive. So now I just make a backup of Windows and reinstall Kubuntu from scratch. Much easier. I think there are also Linux backup programs you can use, but never really saw the need.

  • ProBook G1 430: Encrypted hard drive and the corrupt Windows Installation

    My laptop has an encrypted disc using HP drive encryption.  Recently, the Windows installation has become corrupted and I could not repair the installation using floppy disks to install Windows because they cannot access the encrypted drive, nor can they be accessed by other facilities of Windows if I plug in the external drive.  The two methods see the Windows partition as a RAW format.  I guess it's only because the partition is encrypted and has no way to determine the actual format type.

    I searched around to find clues as to how I could get past the encryption, but without success.  The computer is no longer under warranty, so I'm looking for options that will allow me to have access to the data.  The methods I've read all required the computer under warranty.

    I can still go through the encryption after the computer starts, but Windows Setup gives an error and tells me that I must use an installation disk to fix.  I have attached a picture of the screen of the error.

    I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide to solve this problem.

    After much patience and time on the phone with HP, I finally able to return the encrypted Windows installation.  They gave me a copy of the WinPE environment was a software that allows you to decrypt a partition which was encrypted with their software and execute commands Windows on it.  I then ran the repair bootbcd order and I was able to get Windows to start.  To obtain this software, my case should be escalated to tier 2 support.
