Restoring previous operating system

Similar Questions

• Want to download 10 W but not able to do that, during installation, a problem arises and the previous operating system is restored.

  My laptop is preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Basic.  At the free launch Windows 10 I downloaded the same and after 2 months, the hard drive crashed.  The repair shop trying to fix formatting, but could not revive.  This is why I bought a new hard drive and repair charge shot Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  Now, I want to download 10 W but not able to do that, during installation, a problem arises and the previous operating system has been restored.  When I posted the question about how to solve this problem, I was told to try the download by way of USB/ISO file.

  Now my question is that

  one) can I reload Windows 7 Home basic as I have the product key?

  (b) I can then download Windows 10 according to the normal procedure?

  I'm not tech savvy, afraid to download files in USB and then load into the laptop, so this question.

  You can directly download Windows 10. Windows 7 complete edition currently installed is not genuine.

  When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows, what happened is that (your PC) hardware will get a digital right, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. The real Windows 7 or Windows 8 license you were using previously will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.

  Whenever you need to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine, go just to reinstall Windows 10. It automatically reactivates.

  Therefore, there is no need to know or get a product key, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key or use the reset function in Windows 10.

  Step 2: how: perform a clean installation of Windows 10

• Failure of the attempt to upgrade to Windows 10, can´t restore the previous operating system.

  Here's the thing: I tried to install the 10 Windows in a laptop Acer TravelMate 5742, he ran incredibly slow, beautiful instalation 3 hours or longer. But just when he was about to finish somethig happens and it tent to restore the operating system (windows 7 Enterprise.. original I think)
  It restarts and the windows welcome screen 7, I connect and BAM! a nice screen black and all I see is the mouse.

  Then I realized that the model was not really compatible with W10

  I tried to restore the system, but there was no restore points, but despite this, I get a message from antivirus who said it needed to update the virus database.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Have you tried to make the instructions provided by mySh4d0w? Are still meet the black screen when you connect?

  If you have already tried to run a system restore but restore points are not available, another thing you can do is to start your computer in Safe Mode and check the drivers and startup programs. To do so, please follow the steps listed below:

  1. Turn on your computer and then press and hold F8 key as your computer starts. This will bring you to the Advanced Boot Optionsscreen.
  2. Press the arrow key down until it highlights the Safe Mode or Safe Mode with network and press enter.
  3. If you do not experience the black screen then on the Safe Mode, try to uninstall the graphics driver as it often causes the same scenario.
  4. Restart your computer and check if you are still affected by the same. If still the same, then try to disable startup programs by accessing the Safe Mode once more. In safe mode, press the Windows key + R > type msconfig > click OK. This will launch The System Configuration utility.
  5. Click on Startup tab > turn off or disable your startup programs > click OK > then restart your computer.

  Let us know how it goes.

  Thank you

• Satellite U400-124: is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD

  I have a U400-124 I want to do a system restore.
  I created the Toshiba Recovery DVD but I don't have it with me (I'm in Italy and it is in the United Kingdom).

  I have three left:

  1 Vista (c :))
  2 WinRE (d :))
  3 data (e :))

  Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?

  Also, what exactly are leaving them? I'm not wrong!
  1 Vista (c) - for the operating system
  2 WinRE (d) - is a hidden partition and it is necessary for the backup files in Vista
  3. data (E :) - contains the record of recovery

  Sorry for my lack of knowledge! Thanks for all your help in advance!

  > Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?
  This is possible only if the second partition and HARD disk recovery file has not changed

  Start the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure by pressing the F8 key.
  A start menu should appear, then you should choose the first option called fix my computer.
  Then it should open a new window with an option called Toshiba recovery.
  Choose that and usually drive HARD recovery must begin.

  Good bye

• How to free up space in a drive by deleting files hidden from the previous operating system?

  Original title: my vista home c drive now have very low free space.there is some files hidden from the previous operatnig system busy space that are useless.how can I delete these files?

  my laptop is slow due to the very low free space in c drive. How can I remove the unnecessary files from c drive or increase the volume of drive c?

  Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

• Clean? Windows 7 restarting on formatted drive, 100 MB Partition not allowed no previous operating system, after the attack of virus, it reach the wifi drivers to not load or display in the new operating system?

  Left attack virus serious that some files disabled in windows 7 (protected by Microsoft Security Essential) a program used on the computer was left partially disabled and I continue when using wireless internet. Reformatted drive leaving 100 MB Partition intact, created in new OS was an old file of Windows not wanted, impossible any attempt at the value of the days of updates, downloads & allowing also noticed wifi. Another reader reformat leaving 100 MB partition again not affected since the original OS. All programs loaded & all updates succeeded, but still did not have through any discussion read to get the computer to WiFi wifi as in Starbucks invites you to discover. I have another operating system on the computer that is able to discover drive internet wifi from loading with windows 7 so not a hardware problem, I think. Question is can a formatted drive on the left with its original partition of 100 MB OS questions with new reloaded windows 7 and is the new installation of the operating system clearly & repopulate this partition of 100 MB for no bug cannot continue to corrupt and better performance? Thank you all.

  A new installation of windows 7 can be said to delete this partition. do you when you get to the section "where do you want to install windows?" in installing windows 7. There is a player options button that allows you to delete both partitions... then create 1 new partition for windows and it throws a message saying that the operating system can create additional partitions... blah blah... and she... that way the 100 MB partition is clear.
