  My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.  I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer.  Now, I have a problem with a product key.  When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement.  I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key.  My question is this.  If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key.  If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key?  Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop?  Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price?  Thank you

  If you still want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, please see:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

• Can I use 63-bit Win 7 Home base with the same product key that I used for 32 - bit?

  1 I have win7 64 bit with licesence version hombasic. And now I use homebasic 32bits and 64bits format and install with the same key... So I jst want to know that this process can damage my computer laptop operating system? or there is no problem whatever I did!.

  Original title: Win7

  Well, it will damage her, just that you will not run the 64-bit version, which means, if you have more than 4 GB of RAM installed, Windows 7 Home Basic 32 bit will not support it.

  You should also check that the manufacturer of your computer is using 32-bit drivers for your computer.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• Try to reinstall windows 7 on another computer with the old product key

  My computer has 7 starter and windows 7 upgrade system intalled. It crashed and no longer works.  I talk to technicians of Microsoft and they say its ok and will work - transferring the operating system windows 7 on my laptop current used. Well no dice, after my product key for them, Microsoft gave me the run around. Last night when I spoke with them, they said that a discount price was available because I made the original purchase for her. Is happening here? Should I buy windows 7 again?

  I guess you try to use the upgrade license.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Always try the following:

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
   
  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
   
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
   
  (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
   
  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Vista Home Premium with X 200 order

  Hello world. I have a small question regarding my recent X 200 buy. I ordered my X 200 with Windows Vista Home Premium and 1 GB of RAM. I want to move to 4 GB (2x2gb) RAM me when the unit arrives. I would like to know if the Windows Vista Home Premium that comes with my X 200 will be editing 32 or 64-bit. On the order page, there wasn't an option to choose edition 32 or 64 bit for Vista Home Premium (it was for Vista Business and Ultimate however). If the 32-bit edition of Vista Home Premium is the default option, can I call Lenovo for a 64-bit edition? Thanks in advance for your help.

  You don't have to take into account the fact that many programs that run in the 32-bit environment does not automatically work in the 64-bit environment. The reason why Microsoft continues to sell the 32-bit operating system rather than any move to 64-bit is the fact that a lot of programs and drivers do not work in the 64-bit environment.

  If you are adamant that the 1 GB of ram is giving a performance increase then you can try to borrow them a disc 64 bit someone and install it and then use your own OS serial key to activate it.

  I have 8 GB of ram in my T61 with 64 bit Vista and for most cases the increase in performance is almost imperceptible from the 3 GB ram under Vista Home Premium 32-bit for many programs.

• I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full.

  I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security.  I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore.  I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music.  But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?

  So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...

  1. where should I back up to? (windows, norton?)

  2. what should I back up? EXACTLY, please. lol (I have hundreds of games, I don't want to back to the top if possible)

  3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud

  Hello

  Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.

  However, try these options:

  Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.

  Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.
