Restore Windows 8 Pro for factory installed Windows 8

I didn't know that it would be necessary to purchase a new license from the one I had already purchased when I upgraded a laptop from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro when I used install them new features in a new desktop PC Control Panel to upgrade inadvertently from the factory installed Windows 8 , Windows 8 Pro. There is no warning that the purchase of a second licence would be necessary and I refuse to pay the $69.99 which calls for Microsoft to activate Windows 8 Pro on the desktop. How to back up Windows Pro for the factory installed Windows 8 which is what I need. Thank you.

New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 8 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 available for the most popular brands

For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

For HP, 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 Samsung: Press the F4 key to the Samsung logo when you turn first.

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

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

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

    Thanks for your help!

    You should have received the Windows 10 Pro media as described on the auction site. This media can be in a plastic bag that came with the computer. Please go through all the material supplied with the computer. If you are unable to find the Windows 10 media, please contact HP Customer Support in your region for assistance.

    Before installing Windows 10, please make your restore media Windows 7 Pro.

  • Satellite A200-17O - how to restore Windows to the factory settings?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I did not need to backup all the files. I don't have the product recovery CD. When I press F8 and click on the "Repair" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click on the option to completely recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open a window telling me to back up my data, then theres a button 'OK', and when I click that, the window will simply close and return to the menu options. All I want is to return Vista to factory settings.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Yes, normally you can restore your computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery option. Therefore, you must follow the instructions here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    If it doesn't work, you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If your computer laptop didn t come with such a recovery disk you create yourself using recovery preinstalled creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?

    Therefore, you need a few blank DVDs. I recommend the DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have a good experience with these brands.

    If you have any other questions, just after again! ;)

    Irfan Baig,

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. You can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    1. Download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

    If you need a utility to create a flashdrive bootable for this Image, try the free app below.

    The product key for Windows 8 is encrypted in your bios chip and read automatically during installation.

    Software extra and you may need drivers are by entering your full model number or Nr here.

  • How to restore windows ME for the first day that I pay for it.

    1. I try to restore windows, but it will do. I have a saying massage low disk he had to have some SPACS and won't do a thing.

    Make sure that you have backed up everything you want to record.  When installing, it gives you the option to format the drive?  If so, select this option and it clears the record of everything and give you plenty of space to install.

    If you have already saved the data you want to save, and then delete the data.  Do a full of all disk cleanup.  Uninstall 3rd third-party programs that you had added to the system - as much as necessary.  It, until you create enough space for the installation works.

    I don't know if you can boot from a Windows ME disk to access the recovery options (I never really used this version).  If so, try to do this, and then select command prompt in service options (if it offers this option) and use to format the hard drive completely. That erases everything and you should have enough space to re - install.  If this is not the case, the method above should work later depending on the amount of space is required.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
