Vista Windows

Vista Windows

There are three ways to correct this
(1) back to the original installation - assuming that the one who did the installation just ran the upgrade rather than a custom installation (is there a "windows.old. This folder?)
(2) buy a copy of Windows 7, which corresponds to the current installation and use the key from that to make your authentic system
(3) use your manufacturer to return to the initial installation system recovery disks.
 
Note that options 1 and 3 can lead to data loss - so make sure that you back up your data on external backup first!

  • I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    * Original title: get the product key

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • CS6 with Windows 7. The menu item file-> file Info... not working anymore. Opens a window of the white aircraft, but never any information file appears. How can I fix this?

    One of the options from the menu in CS6 recently stopped working. This is the file-> file information...  I see no more image information. How can I fix this?

    Thank you

    Frnak

    See this thread: Info file gives me just a blank dialog box

    The fix goes like this:

    Create a new text file called XMP.cfg (make sure that the extension is cfg and not txt).

    The only text that should be in this file is as below:

    C:\

    Copy the file C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust (create the directory if not already there).

    Restart the Adobe application and review the file information panel.

    If your problem is with Office, read this:

    ·                         Office TRIAL activation

    There are only so many days use or use of the times with a version of office to test

    I'm sorry but the Office comes for free with a windows operating system

    You must purchase separately the Office

  • My bought XP Professional key does not work - where can I get this renewal?

    The professional touch XP does not work.

    The story is that my mother bought the key earlier and then after that she bought a new PC with an already installed windows. so I found the genuine XP code and tried to use it and it does not allow me.

    The question: is it possible to get a working one? Because it should not be a reason for that it does not.

    It would not work if you try to use the key for Win XP Pro with an XP Home installation disc.

  • When I log into Windows, the login screen does not appear, how can I fix?

    I am running Windows XP Professional.  When I start my computer, it works fine.  I can log on and have no problem.  Unfortunately, when I log into my profile, Windows logon screen does not appear.  I use the log on screen where you have to manually type your user name and password.  The HP wallpaper happens, but the log in box does not work.  Better yet, it is not always the case.  I logged on and outside several times without any problems to come back later and find the log in box missing.  The only way I can solve the problem is to manually shut down the computer using the power button then restarting him.  I have no idea why this is happening or how I can fix this problem.  Any ideas?

    Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to wipe my hard drive including Windows 8.

    I don't physically have the product key that Windows 8 has come pre-installed. If I am not mistaken, the product key is embedded in the BIOS.

    So, my question is this...

    How do I install Windows 8 and use my old product key?

    You are right.

    So, my question is this...

    How do I install Windows 8 and use my old product key?

    You follow the manufacturer's instructions for use the recovery partition
    on your hard drive. But if you completely erased the hard disk drive, which
    partition disappeared, and you're out of luck. Contact the manufacturer.
