Window Home Premium product issue previous installation of ultimate

After a year, my gateway Win 7 Home Premium computer, crashed all the Seagate hard drive hardware failure. Gateway did not provide a disk Win 7 so I downloaded the iso file from Microsoft and rebuilt a new hard drive.

Oops, I downloaded iso ultimate and so my product code would not work. Then return to Microsoft and downloaded the right image and did a clean install. I signed up the operating system and registration has been accepted.

Problem: I am now raise the pop I have the wrong product code for Windows 7 Home Premium, even if I registered the correct code and he was admitted.

I think that there may be something remains of the previous erroneous installation, maybe in windows.old

How can I fix it?

Should I remove all references to Ultimate in regedit? delete windows.old?

any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  • Windows 7 Home Premium product key

    Hello!

    I need a Windows 7 Home Premium product key and I can't find a link to buy one on the website that all the posts I see on it is from the victory before 10 days. I have an OEM drive that is installed on another computer, but instead to wait 2 days to get a new disk key / Amazon, I was hoping there was a way to purchase JUST the key on the website somewhere.

    Thank you!

    Get the product Amazon OEM (stay away from eBay, too many pirates), take the wait and play safe!

    Make sure you buy the media AND key, make sure it's the correct bit (32 or 64 bit) and purchased Amazon media can perform the installation.

    Hi, I'm America Reef

    I use a desktop PC of HP Pavilion a6202.uk with Windows Vista Home Premium & Microsoft Office 2003.  When I am back from vacation & turned on my PC, my password was OK, but rather to raise Windows, I received the following message: "Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed in is invalid for activation.  He then listed the following options: "access your computer with reduced functionality (this will allow you to buy a product online key)" or "Type a different product key" or "contact HP to help solve this problem."

    I have no idea what a product key is and don't have anything either in the type comes to connect as usual.  I can't access anything to be same to reduced functionality.  I can not type in a new product key because I did not.  I can not contact HP - phone number does not... !!

    Moved from Vista programs Forum.

    You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover.  I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it.  If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.

  • copy of Windows Home Premium to reinstall

    I would like to know if I can get a copy of Windows Home Premium to reinstall it on the computer, I bought, but had to get a new hard drive.  The Unit came with everything installed and without disks.  So 3 years later my hard drive crashed.  I recorded my copy of windows, is there anywhere where I can download a copy based on my initial purchase and registration?  Thankss, Dave

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  • Can I change Windows 7 Professional to Windows Home Premium without formatting the hard drive?

    I have a laptop Acer TravelMate 6592, I took at a cybercafé and asked the technician to install Windows 7 Professional. He did, but to my surprise, when I started using it, I discovered that it is not authentic. I have a windows 7 Home premium product key with a cd of 'save' from another pc I have baught (pc comes with windows 7 Home premium, but I wanted windows 7 pro) that I've never used it before. So my question is how I use this key to activate windows. I'll be able to use it on windows 7 pro already installed? I am not very good with computers, so I do not know how the whole system format and reinstall windows from scratch. What is the best way for me to go on this situation? Help, please!

    You cannot use a Windows 7 Home Premium product key to activate Windows 7 Professional. If you want to use Windows 7 Professional, you will need to purchase a license for this edition. You can then use the key to Windows 7 Professional and convert a genuine license of your non-genuine installation.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/get-a-new-Windows-product-key

    When you receive the product key, follow these steps:

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click on the link change product key

    Enter the key of Windows 7 Professional and click next to activate via the Internet.

  • When vista windows Home Premium end support?

    When Windows Vista Home Premium will support end and Vista Ultimate?

    Not only well-documented life cycle, but no one does support their products for like a long lifecycle like Microsoft. Microsoft still supports Windows 2000, released 8.5 years ago and Internet Explorer 5.5 on it.

    Then, on this basis, I wouldn't worry by the persistence of support for many years.

It is important to use an account and a password which you are familiar with to allow you to get easy access to your information and to receive the confirmation e-mail which will include your product key.

    Yes. An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration.
