Software Pirate Windows xp

Windows XP was preinstalled on my Sony laptop when I bought it new. Earlier this year during a trip to Spain, I had problems with a virus. I took the phone to a repairer who has managed to get rid of the virus, but I discovered much later, after his return to England that they had charged a not genuine version of XP operating system on my machine. How to bring back my version authentic? No CD was provided when I bought the new laptop despite spending more than £1,000.

Some computer manufacturers put a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers.  By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new.

If this does not help, please see Reporting software piracy and pages of Authentic Microsoft software from Microsoft.

    Anyone know why I don't see the option 'Download the latest software of Apple's Windows support' as seen in the troubleshooting page.

    ERROR 1402 could not open key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS

    Try to use The Windows Installer Cleanup utility and see if it is able to remove your current version.  Alternatively, you can consult the Adobe removal instructions.

  • need help to unistall pirated Windows 7 to reinstall vista

    Hello

    There is no available free and legal Vista download

    you will need to do a clean install of vista

    Here are the different ways to obtain and use vista media

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

    Thank you for your response.

    It's a "win32 console application" on windows 2008, so I can't compile it in 64-bit.

    After that I added KEY_WOW64_64KEY, RegOpenKeyExW() worked well.
