• HP Envy h8 1409: just restored to factory default and now windows 8 is not activate! Help, please!

  Recently, my PC started a little all around to have massive problems that I don't mind going into details, but I decided that after 2-3 years to possess, I would restore it factory default. It hurts but it would be a good idea, because I knew that windows are installed on it and apparently, this model is supposed to just reinstall without any problem...

  I have no idea what the hell happened, but now he has not activated windows. I know that the product key, and when I get it, it says "your product keys works! Continue when you're ready', then when he starts to deal with it, I get the error "the following error occurred while trying to use the product key:

  Code:

  So seriously, what the hell am I supposed to do? Please help me

  Hello

  If the original HP recovery partition is intact then you should be able to create the recovery media.

  Before attempting to improve once again, use a hard drive of commerical known reliable product imaging in the image of your hard drive to external media.  This will save you a lot of time and effort, if you never experience questions requiring to return to a fresh factory restore and then have to go through the whole update process again. The image will also save you if your hard drive fails.  If the HP recovery media is the plain W8 then take the shot.  Then after all the updates are applied and your with set success to date to W8.1 and then take another picture.

• Bacup/restore to factory default

  Hi all

  My HP laptop has arrived an hour ago and it looks amazing much thinner I was ecpecting for a laptop 17.3. I ordered Windows Pro 8.1 from my suppliers who will be here tomorrow. Although I need to back up the partition by default factory because I install my own OS instead.

  I think the best thing to do would be. Pass through the initial installation of the pre-installation and then back up the partition which by the way should not be more 16 GB maximum for a clean install. This back up to an inch or the USB and install Windows Pro 8.1. I think I'll come against is only pre-installed software that comes with the notebook. As I have not yet looked, one would imagine that HP has a list of drivers and software available on the Web site of your support for my product. Hesitate but this third preinstalled software would not attend because of doftware comes with this laptop.

  HP has backup software so at least I can save the settings to factory default to a thumb bootable or pendrive so I need to restore the laptop at all times.

  Footnote:

  I just had a thought, once Windows 8.1 Pro x 64 was installed. And before you ask, but e thanks all the same, I created a PID file and ready to install Windows Pro 8.1 from a USB 3.0 to alrwady cfg. Once installed all I really need to do is install HP Support Assistant and download all the drivers who also records all drivers which is not pain but a lot of time.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Sybinx,

  Yes, use HP Recovery Manager (before the upgrade to 8.1 Win) to create a set of complete recovery (3 or 4 DVDs) discs or a 32 GB flash drive recovery. You will then be able to restore your system out of the box experience.

  You can also create a recovery flash disk by using the recovery located in Control Panel after the installation of Win Pro 8.1, (A 16 GB flash drive is required). An excellent tool for the call of advanced restore options when Win 8.1 will not start.

  In addition, please refer to this article which explains how to create a custom image refresh once you have your fully configured system. The instructions apply as well to Win 8.1.

  For more, but not all the software installed at the factory, you can find by browsing until C:\SWSETUP. Copy this folder to a disk external for use, if necessary, after installing Win 8.1 Pro.

  Have fun.

• After restoring to factory default of Vista, I lost my access to the Microsoft Office products

  I recently had a severely damaged Vista OS, which after several attempts to recover and restore several restore points failed, I had to restore the default value of the plant from the D drive. The restoration was a success and my system now works fine. However my Office 2007, which is a trial version, although I'd bought Word, Excel and Outlook, when I bought this laptop, constantly asks me a product code. I ran the activation assistant, but it was impossible to get a code. Office 2007 has now been replaced by 2010.

  How to reactivate my purchased products?

  My computer laptop product number is GP238AV.

  My serial number is [text removed for privacy]

  I bought in 2008 and it is now out of warranty.

  Well, I guess that this forum is not the fastest way to get an answer. I called technical support, even if I am out of warranty and they concluded, after looking in my problem, I need key product comes with my cell phone and they don't know what it is, or they can help me. They suggested I call Microsoft to see if they could help. HA! Have you ever tried to figure out how to get in touch with these guys? Fat chance that they would help in any case. But I did do some research autour, found the papers provided with my laptop, and of course, there was no product key with it. Then, I searched my CD Library and found MS Office product disc, which contains the product key. I have the Enter key and reactivated my products, so all is well.

  Even if support could not help, they got at least looking at me through my files to find the key, and I did.

  So thanks for HP support. Problem solved.

• HP ljMFPM277dw: restore to factory default to reset the admin password

  Hello

  I just bought the HP ljMFPM277dw and was able to connect to the network, however, I noticed after typing my IP address on the summary page of network that he was not connected properly with WPA2, so I tried to make changes to.  Our router Verizon Actiontec with a dummy button, so I couldn't connect safely like this, and I have been unable to determine how to enter a PIN code provided by the printer in the router.  On the Web IP of the printer page, I create an administrator password, but apparently do not write it down correctly.   So with the changes that I made there, is no longer a printer/network connection and I'm unable to enter the password and can not enter the IP to access the printer on the web info.  WiFi Direct printers is enabled, but the network WiFi and HPeprint is off, and every password I tried is not valid.  I tried restoring default and the wireless network, solve problems in the manual, but each needed the password suggestion.  Now I understand how critical it is that I get no change on the printer IP address web page.  My office is a Mac OS 10.10 and my PC laptop uses Windows 8.1.  Any help would be so appreciated!

  Hi elrossco22,

  What Satellite L300D, you have exactly and are - this a European model?
  If yes try to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and choose fix my computer. Then, you can start the recovery of HARD drive feature.

  If this isn't the case, you need a new Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. You can order such a drive here but it s for European models only:
