  If the consequences are that you suffer from malware infection,
  It is highly unlikely that system restore will help.

  I have 2 problems; 1. I don't have any system restore disc, so I need to do without it.

  A disc of "System Restore"? There is no such thing as a "system restore."
  disc. You want to reinstall Windows rather than do a system
  restoration. If so, please don't mix up the two very different things.

  If that's what you want to do, and you do not have a disk to reinstall
  Windows, you should contact Sony and ask them for guidance on how to
  go ahead. You can have a partition you can reinstall from, or they can
  be able to sell you a disc for one low price.

  2. I want to keep what I've got on itunes and have no external memory device, but have an iphone and an iPad. I really need to know how I can do both of the above, if someone could help me I would appreciate massivly, thank you.

  Sorry, I don't know anything about itunes, iPad or an iPhone and can't stop
  with that.

  I bought a Vista 32 bit Home Premium OEM system builder pack just now when I built my computer and I was wandering how to do media upgrade to 64 - bit.

  32-bit to 64-bit is not an upgrade path.

  Buy a FULL version of the operating system 64-bit Vista disk/license and clean install.

• Upgrade in Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional by using the OEM System Builder Pack

  I built a computer and initially installed Windows 7 Home Premium using an OEM System Builder Pack. Now, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I have a new OEM System Builder Pack for Windows 7 Professional. How can I do this without losing the files, data, documents, etc., and I can put this copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on another computer? It is a personal computer only. Thank you.

  Unfortunately, you will need to do an install custom, which means that your applications and drivers will need to be reinstalled.

  If you want to keep your personal files, you can use the custom installation of the configuration to do:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Sony Vaio in operating system not found?

  I have a laptop Sony Vaio, model SVE14AJ16L number and I got a new drive hard since the hold had ceased to function. I didn't need all the files on the old drive, so I just jumped out. I installed the new drive, but then did not work the Assist button. I googled this and I couldn't find a solution. I need to install Vaio care, but cannot find the Vaio care for my model number. I needed to install Windows 8, but for some reason it wouldn't detect the DVD or USB. I made the USB drive bootable using rufus and I downloaded an ISO and intended to put the serial number on the bottom of my laptop. It looks like all that operating system not found. I can't go into the BIOS, because that's what the assist button, and it does not detect. The towers of DVD and USB activity led blinked his eyes, but nothing. I don't know what is happening. Even when I took out the hard drive and put in the DVD/USB, it seems still operating system not found. I can't find the model number on this site.

  TL; DR
  Installed a new drive, HELP does not, does not detect a bootable USB/DVD, appears only as an operating system not found. I made bootable USB/DVD and tested on other computers.

  Please help, thanks.

  Basically, I don't have your system to test, so I'm just guiding you the general procedures.

  First of all, FORGET the ASSIST button. To explain the question "why?" would take a lot of time and goals here is to install new windows in your new drive.

  Secondly, I highly recommend you have all the necessary drivers for your equipment before your proceed with the windows installation 8 or 8.1. I own VPCSB28GG and Windows 8.1, several functions DO not work properly as it does in Windows 7. So, unless you have a deep knowledge on the computer, do not go for windows 8.1 yet or at least try to install windows 8.1 on a different drive for a test run.

  Thirdly, I strongly recommend allows you to install Windows 7 USB stick / 8 / 8.1 since the DVD player is not a reliable source from USB. Microsoft also provides tools to help people installing Windows 7 / USB 8.x. Please google it.

  As the symptoms that you have described, I recommend the steps as follows:

  1. go in the BIOS / settings (by pressing F2 during POST) UEFI. Under start options, your system may use a different name, but in principle it is similar to this: '1 ST Boot Device' "2nd Boot Device" "3rd Boot Device"... and so on. The value '1 ST Boot Device' your desire, such as CD-ROM bootable media, DVD-ROM, external USB/HDD. In my case, it is an external device because I use USB boot Windows 7 / 8.x installation. The "2nd Boot Device" in the HARD drive internal value. Drive HARD internal is your disk newly installed (or current).

  2. run the windows installation wizard. During the installation of Windows, your computer may restart several times. However, AFTER THE FIRST USE, you must go to the BIOS / UEFI with once again. The value '1 ST Boot Device' internal HARD drive. If you forget this step, you will encounter a loop of Windows installation. So, I suggest to pay attention pls. After that Windows Setup is complete, you can install drivers for your system. Find it in Support to the Sony Web site. You will need to download the Windows 7 drivers for Windows 8 as Intel Management Engine, components Sony blah blah blah. Please keep in mind, Vaio Care cannot make you suggest.

  3. in the installation of Windows, you won't find your HARD drive to destination of installation. In this case, go to the BIOS / UEFI setting, replace your SATA AHCI by compatible IDE or SATA port configuration. You can later change back to AHCI AFTER installing your SATA driver.

• OEM System Builder Pack

  Recently, I bought a pack of e/bay Windows 7 OEM System Builder.  When I received the software, the package said that I had to use "OPK" to install the software.  I checked the support technique microsoft on the use of the OPK and it said that I needed to register as an organization using the OEM preinstallation kit.  As the product of the COA came with the software, can't I just install it on a clean hard drive with the provided product key?

  It is activated if the product key has never been activated before.

• New installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on Sony VAIO key OEM

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Sony VAIO VPCEB27FA, who is essentially a Middle East of the EB series model. The PC is literally loaded with all sorts of versions possible assessment and bloatware and it absolutely killed any computing experience. Windows 7 starts at more than 3 minutes. Yes, I timed it actually to see how long it takes for Windows load up before you can start actually using my computer. My old gateway desktop which is in reality a P4 and has Windows 7 installed on it opens in less than 45 seconds and is good to go. So I definitely do a clean install on my laptop to clean up all the UNWANTED horrible. But can I use the Windows 7 key on the back of my laptop after a clean install? I go to download the English version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit of Digital River. Currently, my laptop has the same version that is the English version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit as mentioned on this page from Sony

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/product/vpceb27fa

  Thank you

  PS: - You can see for yourself on the page of Sony in the specifications of the software INCLUDED, how trialware and bloatware been installed by Sony on this machine. I hate Sony for this and I will never buy a VAIO again in my life.

  There is no need to separately download OEM or retail of Windows 7 RTM installation DVD ISO, as the release of Windows 7 installation can be easily converted using simply the correct product key (for example OEM_SLP product key can convert an installation of Windows 7 at retail in OEM version), as issued by the OEM product keys has a different basis of the retail product key. For ISO of DVD images, the only difference between a Windows 7 RTM retail ISO and ISO of OEM of Windows 7 RTM is in position of EI.cfg file [channel], which specifies the sales channel to retail or OEM.

• Issue of Windows 7 SP1 OEM System Builder Pack

  I recently bought the Pack Windows 7 SP1 OEM System Builder and I don't know if I bought the right product. I had to replace my HARD drive (old one crashed) and I felt it was time to leave the world of XP. It will be installed on an existing computer that does not have to be sold. I don't want to open the software until I'm 100% sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  There's nothing wrong with using it, just that there are certain restrictions that apply. In view of this manufacturer of OEM licenses system will soon become only detail existing once stock option full version licenses have been exhausted, I'd say don't worry about this.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  Licensing FAQ:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx

  The main advantage with the retail license is the clause that allows the easy between future materials transfer if that's the case, but I wouldn't worry too much on this subject.

  Since you have replaced the drive, it would have been a clean install anyway, even if Windows XP was still in use on the system.

  If you are not comfortable with it, you can always go back and buy the full commercial license:
