• Windws 7 'clean install' and not 'upgrade '.

  Hi, I'm marco. I bought a Toshiba A350-12j in October. Then, I bought windows 7 upgrade DVD. Now... I received two DVDs: DVD UPGRADE TOSHIBA and WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM UPGRADE DVD and a small user guide.

  * Now, I would like to know if there is a way to do a clean install * and not an upgrade. I mean, regardless of if I'm going to lost all my data on the hard drive, but I prefer to format and install the operating system. What I want to know is what I have to do with the upgrade dvd toshiba, I think that I need because of drivers, but how to use it? Just insert the windows 7 dvd, and then format and install the operating system... and when the operating system is installed... Insert the toshiba upgrade dvd and install the driver. It will work this way?

  Thank you.

• Windows 8.1 clean install with key OEM of Windows 8

  Hello! I have a HP Probook 450 with Windows preinstalled 8. I want to Win 8.1, but I want to do a clean install. Which means: insert the Win DVD 8.1 (I downloaded the .iso on internet image file), formatting of the disc and the last 8.1 Windows installation.

  Will this work? I read that my key Win 8 OEM, which is hardcoded in the BIOS does not allow me to install Win 8.1. Users of the Forum say here and now that it is possible to perform a clean installation to win 8. How is with Win 8.1?

  I did it.  It is possible with elitebook turn...

  You will need:

  1. ISO 8.1 Windows

  2. the default Installation 8.1 Windows key (http://pastebin.com/Cs9GUhyT)<---If this="" link="" is="" gone,="" you="" can="" find="" it="" using="">

  3. your OEM of Windows 8 key (you can use the Belarc Advisor software to find, http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html. ) You can also use the Microsoft Toolkit which can enter this information for you as well)

  4 USB with at least 8 GB. (You can use a micro SD card, but it will be SLOW)

  5. Creator of YUMI (pendrivelinux.com)

  My instructions are summarized by several forum posts (one source for more details http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/48434-Windows-8-1-Clean-Install-Guide). So this point begins after you have recovered your win8 OEM key.

  Instructions

  1. you need to Download the ISO of Windows 8.1 (can be done in several ways.  If you have a key to Win8 retail, which will make life easier, otherwise look for online sources) http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57608376-285/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8.1-iso/.

  [Basically, download the windows installation 8 get started, then cancel immediately and download the windows installation 8.1.]  This is the way to circumvent the application of key windows 8.1]

  (2. After downloading the ISO, use YUMI usb creator and create a USB bootable with windows ISO 8.1).  I had problems with the boot from USB, it seems that there is a lack of design, but maybe just mine.  Let me know if you can start.  If you can not, you will need to remove the USB (1-3 mm) SLIGHTLY.  Basically, my USB does not get to bottom to start.

  3 install windows using keys to default installation 8.1.  Your OEM key will not work.  This key is only for the installation, but you will need your OEM win8 for activation key after the installation of windows.

  4. when everything is installed, go to the activation of windows , or press win + break (you may need to use a function key (fn)).  Change your product key of entering your key OEM win8.

  5. I suggest that if your laptop has softpaq Installer to your computer's drivers, install first.  Then, you can select software and drivers you want to install and do everything at once without having to download one at a time.

  6 finishing

  Let me know if you have any problems, I can walk you through it I took two days to finally understand.  I hated doing windows 8, all updates, and then update windows 8.1.

  I also recommend you only install tasks easeus backup.  You can install all your drivers and programs and then use this program to create a disk image.  My disk image is about 20 GB which is located on a secondary partition (so if your SSD crashes, it's all over well), for fast food.  It takes about 20 minutes for the backup.  Then 20 minutes to restore the disk image I think fast enough.

  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.

• I can't activate Windows 7 after cleaning installed.

  Activation of Windows 7 (upgrade) after clean reinstall

  Hi guys,.

  I have the problem with the Windows 7 upgrade version. I was with WIn 7 months with no problems. Win7 was installed on windows Vista in my case.
  But a few days ago, I decided to do a clean reinstall (from scratch, formatted HARD drive).

  The installation was funny until I got the error message telling me that my key is not for the clean install and I can't activate the system. I just left the empty key field and open windows.

  I thought that I activate the system in 'normal' mode not during the installation. So I now fully installed Windows 7 and I can't activate it - because the installation was made not M$ ' mroper way "." Very funny so the "right way" is to install windows Vista and upgrade to windows 7?

  The system has been enabled on this PC (the same harware 100%) before, so I can't do this again? I can not show same Vista installation CD, etc. installation key?

  Is there another way to activate it?

  Thank you

  Maciej

• Windows on Mac - clean install disadvantages and benefits vs Bootcamp?

  Hi people,

  I recently got my first Mac - one Macbook 2016. I tried on El Capitan, and I still much prefer Windows, I'm looking to install on Mac.

  I've read through bootcamp for double installation, but largely, I would prefer to perform a new installation on Windows (I have a copy of Windows 8.1 Pro with a license key). I can't determine whether or not it is recommended and I would appreciate it if someone could clarify it for me.

  My understanding is that: -.

  (1) it is possible to completely remove OSX and have a clean install of Windows.

  (2) OSX (in my case, El Capitan) can be reinstalled at a later date without extra cost (i.e. free) using the OSX installer.

  (3) install or remove Windows OSX will not affect my warranty the warranty is of Apple hardware.

  One of the main concerns seems to be none using Bootcamp means pilots Apple for Windows will not automatically available. I heard some mention that these drivers may actually now be downloaded separately on the Apple site and installed directly on the machine once Windows is in place. Can someone confirm this please?

  Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope can get definitive information and I can move on Windows soon.

  You are right. You can remove OS X and only keep the windows, but it has some disadvantages, to know before doing this. Apart from this, Internet recovery will let you install OS X at any time even if you have deleted the recovery partition, and you will not have to pay for OS x: OS X is free and is already registered for your Apple ID.

  Drivers, Boot Camp Assistant (an application, you can find in/Applications/Utilities) leads you through the first steps before you install Windows on your Mac, and one of them is to download the drivers for your Mac requires and put them in a USB key. However, you may need to OS X to get latest driver versions.

  Instead of completely removing the OS X, I suggest to allocate more space to Windows, but keep OS X in a small partition. By doing this, you will always be able to update the drivers (where you need OS X to do) and you will have fewer problems getting OS X in the future if you want to delete Windows.

  Finally, don't forget to make a backup of your files before you install Windows on your Mac. You may need it in case something goes wrong with the Windows installation.

• HP Envy TS m7 Ntbk E0K99UA #ABL: HP Envy laptop Windows 10, clean install and reinstall applications preinstalled

  Hello

  8.1 Windows, I've just updated my HP Envy laptop to Windows 10. I now have a Windows 10 product key (that I found using the Microsoft tool productkey. The update went well. All the drivers have worked. The question isn't here.

  I have to do a clean reinstall of the laptop. Too much shit...

  I know how Windows 10, but I don't know how I'll be able to reinstall the app pre-loaded, he came with the laptop.

  Firstly, Windows 10 kind of RecoveryMgr blocked... I just can't access more...

  If I boot with the drive D or the backup media, I created, I'm only given the opportunity to reinstall completely (but, of course, for Windows 8).

  Two questions:

  1. from the D drive or my backup media, is there a way to separately select application to install? (Everything seems compressed and it allows me to start the installation of each software program.

  2-if I reinstall Windows 8 using backup media, I created (or d reader app), I'll have my own installation... but I'll be able to re-update to Windows 10? (remember, I now have a product key...).

  Thank you.

  Sébastien

  Your best option would be to use the recovery media to reinstall the original OS. Since you have an activation key of license for the original operating system meets the requirement to update Windows 10.

  Once you have done this, you can use the key to creation of Windows Media to create a bootable installation flash drive or to proceed directly to Windows 10.

  Windows 10 installation as an upgrade has the advantage of you to have the applications installed at the origin of the original OS present and ready to use in your new installation of Windows 10.

  Otherwise with a clean install of Windows 10, the HP Recovery Manager wil do not exist, or you can install it separately.

• Windows 7 will not activate after a clean install and several improvements to my computer.

  I bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I installed my old hardware running, but found Windows 7 either too many resources.  When there was enough money kicking around to upgrade my computer a few months later I did (new card mother cpu and ram).  Windows 7 would not start normally or in safe mode, my old installation of XP would not boot normally but would start in safe mode.  So I reinstalled Windows 7 with a clean install (reformatted my hard drive) and it works fine but now it won't turn on!  It says that I have to type in a different product key because I typed the product key cannot be used to activate Windows on my computer.

  I understand the need to fight against piracy, but the thought that I can't upgrade my computer without having to buy another product key is ridiculous!  There are solutions to this problem?

  Activate manually.  It is detect your previous installation and seeing this as an attempt to install the product on another computer.  It is a common phenomenon.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate the operating system.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  If this does not work (these procedures are for Vista, but I guess they will work with Windows7), and then republish your questiion in Windows7 Forums:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where they can provide the procedure for this OS if it is different.

• HP Envy 15 Windows 7 Professional clean install Driver questions

  This morning, I did a clean install of Windows 7 on my brand new envy 15 (LW897AV), which includes the deletion of backup partition as the partition driver HP.

  Unfortunately, many drivers not installed, and I can't find a way to find them. This includes Beats audio driver (I have the audio control panel, but it is not connected to the button on the side volume control) as well as the microphone and some drivers that appear in the devices Panel but the diagnosis is not able to find.

  

  Is there a way to fix this now, or should I cave and pay the $20 and get a recovery CD?

  Get it up to 3 Intel Chipset Installation Utility drivers missing... What the devil. I'll get the restore CD. Guess that's what I'm trying to be creative with my software. :/

  Hi Mollie Irish,

  I would first try to fix some of the problems system by running the SFC/scannow tool found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

  So if you're still having problems, try to fix all corrupted with this utility packages: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

  If either returns with errors that cannot be repaired, it may be that when you turn off the computer, it caused the files are corrupt and at this point, you need the disk to repair your operating system. There are a few other options that can be made with other than a clean install disc. As a place in update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/install-reinstall-uninstall

• Free Windows 7 Upgrade Clean install questions

  Hi, I have recently buy a Mini 5101 it comes with XP Pro and Vista Business... I currently have Vista Business installed on it. I wonder about the process of upgrading to windows 7. On the free upgrade Web site it is said that the operating system can be upgraded to windows 7, according to the weather, I have vista (upgrade straigh) or xp (must be a stable cleaning). Now, my question is can I perform a clean installation with this upgrade? I know that normally you can perform a clean install via the insertion of the disc of the previous operating system media during installation, but as the Min 5101 is a netbook (no cd drive) I will probably install it via a USB key. It is very important for me to have a clean install.

  On the upgrade Web site, it says that if you are using XP pro, you must perform a clean installation. It would be better for me to install XP now order the update, and then install Vista so that I can get the version that will allow me to perform a clean installation - or I'd get the same disc anyway?

  I know the installation disc doesn't have not yet been outside and not so should know the process entirely. Kind of hope that someone will have knowledge on this subject.

  The installation media will allow you to perform a clean installation 'upgrade' using product key of the current operating system during installation. This allows him to check that you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows.

• 15 e056sl Windows 8.1 clean install

  Hello

  I have the laptop in question, after the upgrade to windows 8.1 in my hard disk I found a new recovery partition (350 MB) and the recovery of old (400 MB) and EFI (260MO) partition... so I have 1 GB of unused space.

  I think also is not normal that I need at least two days to re-setup my nb through the recovery dvd or partition and then upgrade to windows 8.1 by internet.

  I would like to perform a new installation of Windows 8.1 but I don't know how to do this. I tried to download the ISO original Microsoft, but my product key is not accepted (with generic pk I get connection error).

  I found my pk using RWEverything and tried to download the ISO with errors:

  Windows8 - Setup.exe

  "This product key cannot be used to install a version of windows 8.

  WindowsSetupBox.exe

  This product key failed. Please check it and try again

  Can you help me please?

  Sorry, but the DPK 8 (digital product key) Windows built into your computer won't work for a clean install of Windows 8.1 more, perform a new installation will result in a computer that has no customizations HP, no software to value added HP and not pre-installed drivers.

  The only way to do a clean install of 8.1 of Windows on your computer is to buy a new copy of Windows 8.1
