  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often 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 CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  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".

  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?

  Hello

  A full Windows license or upgrade, is for ONE Installation only.

  When you have 32/64-bit, you must choose 32-bit or 64-bit, not use both.

  And there is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; It must be done with a clean install.

  See you soon.

• Can I use the same product key for 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I have a PC which was shipped with Vista Ultimate (32-bit) DVD and that worked for a while fully active, etc. patched.  The PC is a 64-bit processor and I want to exchange for the 64-bit version of Vista for the benefit of the extra memory.

  Can I install Vista 64-bit and activate it using the same (already activated) key that uses the 32-bit version running?

  Yes, the key works for both version. If activation fails, active by phone. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

• can I use the same product key once I formatted my hard drive using a vista upgrade disc?

  can I reuse the same product code already used on one computer on another that I put that hard drive and is no longer using vista on this computer, but want to update another?

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  See you soon.

• Install Windows 8 on a new computer using the same product key

  Currently I use an HP laptop and I activated my WINDOWS 8, but now I want to buy a new ASUS laptop and I want to know if I can use the same key or not. Windows 8 I bought is a retail edition.

  Original title: WINDOWS 8 KEY

• I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

  I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

  Thank you

  If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

  You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

  If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

  However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

• To use the same filter messages on multiple computers

  I have three computers running thunderbird at different places in the world. I am using IMAP so I have all the emails anywhere. Now, I would like to run the same filter message on any one of them, but I can't export/import the message filter as I have copies of my filter. What should I do?

  I found the file differently as you indicated.
  There is no account option that you made on the Tools menu of thunderbird.
  However choose the localfolders file, you can select accountsettting. There's the localfolder displayed directory.
  Now, I see also the otherway. In the menu choose options (tools not), you can select the account settings and then select in this local folder menu and it displays the local directory as in the other method.
  The rest is as you said, thanks.

  Sorry, I copied the 'msgFilterRules.dat' folder, but nothing has changed. In fact when I delete this folder Thunderbird still remember the filter rules. They must be somewhere else on my computer...

• Try to do a clean install of Windows 7 to new SSD, would like to know if I can use the same product key.

  Original title: re-install Windows 7

  Hello. I recently built my own PC and installed a purchased copy of Windows 7 hard disk. I'm upgrading to an SSD 120 GB and I was wondering if there was a way completely erase my old hard drive for all files and all re - install windows using my CD key and product. I heard that once you use the product key, the copy of Windows is 'married' to this hard drive and the key cannot be used anywhere else. Is this true? Basically, I'm doing a clean install on this new SSD. Thank you.

  Not at all, you can erase and reinstall Windows as many times as you want as long as you have the product key.  The only restriction is that the key can be used only on one computer at a time.  Unless this key is used somewhere else, you can install a billion times.  The key is what you pay for, not the CD (in fact, if you lose the CD you can download another copy, but you need to keep your secret key).

  In any case, the process is simple: just put in the CD and restart and follow the steps to install.  When you get calls that lead to install on, you have options to format (erase) the drive and basically start over completely.

  The only real thing you need to know is that, after the installation, you will need to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your computer.  According to the computer, you may need to get the driver of network from another computer and copy it using a flash drive (if the network needs the driver before it can connect).
