  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:

  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 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".

  ------------------------

  If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.

• If I uninstall Windows 7 and then reinstall it on the same computer, using the same key/copy register?

  Need a quick answer here! I'm selling my older HP laptop that has Windows 7 above. I intend to uninstall the operating system, and then reinstall it to wipe all my data. The copy is just a simple upgrade from Home Premium (the laptop came with Vista). When I reinstall, can I still register by using the same key? I have heard that it is installed on a computer at any time then you can, but I'm not completely sure.

  Enable is the right term, Yes. Now what happens if I simply select "Custom" when I try to install the upgrade of Windows 7 since I don't have a Vista disk?

  If your Windows 7 is an upgrade license any system move to must have a previous operating system eligible before you can use it elsewhere. You may also need to reactivate by phone:

• Why all my keyboard shortcuts use the 'Alt' key instead of the ' CTRL '? I use Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

  I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts by default using the 'Alt' key instead of the 'Ctrl' key (so, for example, open a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).

  I noticed that this applies even to copy and paste in Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P is the only commands that work).

  No idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

  I had this problem. I found that a roaming profile directory has been installed which contained a user.js file in which changed the hotkey of CTRL ALT.
  I deleted the profile folder a name randomly in c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles and then I stuck to that of c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.

  This bad user.js file was some other parameters, including the definition of the user agent string
  "Mozilla/5.0 (X 11;" U; Linux i686; en-US; RV:1.0.0; (Salut, maman) gecko/20020604 "

  The user.js file is (or similar to) those listed here: https://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html

• Windows Mail is not refreshing since 09/02/2012. When I try to update using the F5 key, I get the error messages.

  Windows Mail is not refreshing since 09/02/2012.  When I try to update using the F5 key, I get the error messages.  The only way I can see me new emails is to sign on the web page of my Internet service provider, which I don't like.

  original title: windows mail is NOT refreshing

  It would be useful that Microsoft has put a notice to have several products access our email accounts so that us non-technical people could avoid these problems.

  Maybe it's something that Apple should warn the consumer. I have three e-mail accounts and I receive and send all the accounts on three different computers at the same time and have never had this problem. Your case is the first.

  You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

  1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
  you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
  you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
  a copy (or a license) for each computer.

  There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
  effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

  2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
  the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
  computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
  OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
  It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
  computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

  Original title: Windows 7 Professional.

  Hello

  I just bought a pc that was advertised on facebook, he has Windows 7 Professional installed, I asked if he had the drive, but I was told that it has been installed by a computer scientist with a purchased product key.

  I want to reformat the h/d and to reinstall the software, how can I do this using the product key?

  Concerning

  TonyB76

  Hello Tony

  It depends on the type of license that is on the PC. to determine this, the simplest method is to run the MGADiag tool:

  Download MGADiag (by Microsoft) from the link below:

  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52012

  Run the tool by double-clicking the file. Press to continue when prompted

  When it is finished, press on copy and then paste (Ctrl + V) in your next post please

  Please also indicate which version of windows is mentioned on your COA sticker (if you have one) but do not publish the key.
