Hello
I think to upgrade my computer to Windows Home Premium to professional using the Windows Anytime Upgrade. Once that was completed, I use my original Windows 7 disc to install the operating system on another computer?
See this post from a user with the same question:

I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?
original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM
If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:
1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.
2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.
3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

ENVY of HP dv7 Notebook PC: install Windows 8 discs HP
I just ny laptop from HP repair center a week ago and I already had to perform a system reset. I tried to reset my laptop and the message I got was, ' cannot reset no, because no disk partition detected ". I called HP and they could not help, they told me that I have to reinstall Windows 8 and they post the discs to me. HP blamed the problem of the partition on the fact that I had Windows 8 is installed and then I downloaded Windows 8.1 store Windows and it screwed in place the parition. This answer has any sense at all to me.
As I mentioned earier, HP is mailing me new Windows 8 discs. However, the technical support representative HP told me that the discs do not come with a product key. How can I perform a clean installation without Windows product key?
Yes at the time the upgrade of the OS is corrupt or delete the recovery partition, especially when it formats the disk. It is always better to create recovery disks when you get the computer.
The key of Windows 8 is embedded in the BIOS and not need to know the key when you reinstall, the installation will recognize the key. If you want to know what your key, download Belarc Advisor, and it will give you all kinds of information about your computer: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
It is best to upgrade to 8.1 Windows because it is more stable and with the new Windows 10 to come this year you will be eligible to get the free update if you are running 8.1

I had to buy a new disc for Windows 7 I have install all previous versions of Windows?
I have a C drive which is now too small, and I need to buy a hard drive much more. I am running Windows 7 64 bit (complete edition). I've been buying upgrades from Windows 2000, each new version upgrade. Is it possible to install Windows 7 without first installing all previous editions (which some may not even install on my hardware correctly, it was so long I don't remember what works and does not install). I have all the installation discs that dates back to Windows 2000 (XP Vista, then 7, then), as well as all product keys. Help is greatly appreciated.
Moving the entire image will leave you with all the dross that comes with windows-based long-standing through of many upgrades that you did
It is a bit dated, but this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/31402-clean-install-upgrade-windows-7-version.html can help too long you understand the warning in the red zone.

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.

Can Qosmio F60 - I use my another Windows 7 disk to install?
I'll buy a Toshiba Qosmio F60 in the next few days and I have seen that comes with a 64-bit restore partition it is preinstalled with 32-bit. I was wondering if I can use one of my other Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit oem disc for installing windows 7 and use the product key on the back without voiding the warranty and validated it?
Because I like a beautiful clean Windows Installer without all that other stuff like the office tests and oem software.
Don't know if this is the right place or not but just sounded.
Hello
Of course you can install Windows 7 yourself. Nobody says you have to use the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba! ;)
But the product key on the underside of the laptop can't be used with other drives. He touches s an OEM manufacturer and belongs to the Toshiba preinstalled operating system. If you do your own installation, you must have your own key!
In addition, I put t understand why you want to do. The preinstalled operating system contains, as a creator of disc, eco utility, applications etc. Everything you need and what you don t like just uninstall!

Windows installation disc needs for a new disk hard but is not available
Hello
The hard drive on my PC HP badly shot - he tells me I need to check for consistency, but it cannot and will not run chkdsk on a restart and will not let me create a restore disk.
OK, I accept that I need to buy a new hard drive but I have no CD to install Win 7. The pc has a partition called "factory secctings" but it will not create a cd of Windows or a restore cd or a Sun.
Microsoft has said that it is not available for me because my serial number includes the letters OEM. I had a case created at HP, and a person called me and said I should get the CD of the os from Microsoft, or from the store I bought from (Staples). Staples said they have no CD for Win 7 and cannot make me a. They said get them from Microsoft or HP.
The number of cases is 3016271460
See that I get nothing from Microsoft, HP, or Stqples. I never got a CD with the pc because, I guess, it's there on the partition to factory settings, but with the failure of hard drive I can't use it.
All have a suggestion?
Your hard drive can hold the DEFECTIVE SECTORS.
The only way to get windows 7 disc is to buy a new Amazon / similar online stores / service centres.

Hello
In addition to the advice given by Jose Antonio Ponton Posada CEO, you can also have a look at the response of Shenan Stanley on 20 October 2012 in this thread.
As Tommy mentioned, you can download and it save on the same computer. You can also download the Service Pack on a different computer and transfer to install it on the requested computer.
Do not respond if you have any other questions. Thank you.

I just bought a windows xp disc and try to save the key and it won't let me not also tried by phone, I don't no what to do to get the registerd disc any help would be good
Do you mean "activate"? Registration is optional; Activation is not. You don't have not given us enough information to targeted assistance. What type of XP installation disc are you using? What product key you installed with (please do not post!)? What happened when you talked to the man during telephone activation? If the failure of activation by phone and you did not wait for a human to come on the line, try this once again and wait for the Rep of decision-making supported MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - Don ' t Panic!

Resettlement without disks
Hello. I have a computer bought from a friend with windows vista home premium installed. I want to format my hard drive to start over but I do not have the windows installation disc. How can I reinstall the pack without the disks after I cleaned the system? Thank you, KimHello. I have a computer bought from a friend with windows vista home premium installed.

You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.
Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.
If it was built * friend *, you will communicate with them. Ask your media.
