The intention to restore the computer to factory settings. How can I get Win10 again?
I have an emachine at less than ten years now. Originally it had installed Win7 on it and last year I got the free update of Win10. No problem downloading or installation, have no problem with it, but this poor old clunky machine is to his last breath. I want to do a "restore to factory settings. I know it will destroy everything, and I guess he'll reinstall Win7, after which I would download and re - install Win10 just like I did before.
Can I do this?
Should I have my registration key of Win10?
Where would he get this information?
Win10 is still available as a free download/install as if it were last year?
I don't want to restore on Win7 to see that now I have to buy the Win10 I'm currently using for free, I want to know ahead what to expect and what will be expected of me until I push the button.
Yes, I know, I need a new computer, but it is not the budget for it right now. It's why I can't really afford to buy Win10 if I don't have one.
Thank you

Yes, you can.
Format your system and install Windows 7 and turn it on.
After coming to start windows update and when your windows 7 updated, it will automatically give you 10 free update Windows.
But the upgrade of your system before July 29, 2016 because after that, you will only get the free update.

The period of eligibility of the program on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. However, for new PC purchases, the manufacturer of your PC may choose to offer a time more short program within this date range. Check with the manufacturer of your PC for actual dates and offer details of the redemption. If you bought the software, you must register online between June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010 and provide your proof of purchase by March 1, 2010.

How to restore the computer to factory settings?
I want to restore my computer back factory settings im tp do not know how to do that please inform me on what I do you solved the problem
Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

I had to restore my computer to factory settings and now I can't go on the internet. I have Windows 7
Hello
When you perform a restore, you may need to reinstall the network drivers, etc..
As you can not access the internet on the recovery computer, use the computer that you are on to get here to do this.
Go to the website to make your computer > Driver and Software Support Section > find your computer model number > then your operating system > locate drivers Windows 7 > download and install the desktop > copy to flash drive > transfer onto the repaired computer.

Lost files that needed to be stored in Vista after restoring my computer to factory settings
I restored my computer to factory settings, and I clicked on an option in the process which was to store files that are stored in a folder, cannot find it. I use Windows Vista.
Thanks for your help
Jason
Hi Jason,
Since you did a factory restore, you must get in touch with the manufacturer of the computer, for assistance in the recovery, files.
You can also use your favorite search engine looking for a third party recovery tool recover files.
Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
Hope this information is useful.

* 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.

I lost the sound recorder. The program has disappeared. How can I get that back?
Hi dstaub53,
In "gone", I assume that you do not see the menu of all the Programs.Accessories? Try clicking on the Start button and typing sound (or tape recorder) in the search box. The sound recorder.exe file should then appear at the top of the search list.
Click or double-click the exe of tape recorder to open the sound recorder.
