Windows 7 Home Premium, my product key on the bottom would work if I clicked on "change product key"?

Original title: ASUS x501a Windows 7-8.

Hi all

I just registered here after having been a Microsoft user, since I started using computers, I think that when I started to use it is Windows XP haha, anyway.

I'm running Windows 7 on the following specifications

4 GB of Ram

HARD DRIVE 300 GB

Intel core i3 clocked at 2.6 GHz

Intel HD 3000 graphics card

and it's an Asus x501a comes with 7 not 8, so I've upgraded to Windows 8, then I found out, I removed my recovery partition. Oops.

I know it's not a way to make it back, unless I did a copy of CD as I do not have.

so, if I got a copy of my friends Windows 7 Home Premium, my product key on the lower part would work if I clicked on "change product key"?

Thank you

Jordan Doughty

PS: Sorry for mistakes in my writing, I'm not used to a Macbook: P

If your friend has a retail upgrade or full version and it corresponds to the edition of your PC, then Yes, you can use it.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit stops around the bottom/accidents

    I play on a whole new Alienware Aurora ALX Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) and Windows 7 crashes.  I never really get to see exactly what he says because he throws me the game, goes to a blue screen that says Windows has closed the program because he knew... There is a whole bunch of other text that I can't read before restarting the system.

    The game plays very well on Windows Vista, XPS 1530 had never do.  In simple terms suggestions are greatly appreciated :)

    Hi lp7p,

    Blue screens are usually a result of outdated hardware drivers. But with a PC game as Alienware Aurora ALX should be an exception.

    However you can try to update the drivers for the network adapters and display and check if it makes a difference.

    original title: lack of games
    I have an Acer Aspire PC. It came loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. Recently, I reformatted the hard drive and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional.

    I have no games. No solitaire, Minesweeper, no nothing.
    How can I, without seeking to erase and reinstall again?

    To activate the built-in Windows 7 games:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called games & check the box next to it.

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the games box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

  • How can I recover my windows 7 Home premium cd product key? Help please!

    I already have a good system of operating windows 7 work that is active on the laptop and I want to own system but I noticed that the product key sticker is inside faded away. For this reason, I can't. I studied a bit and people are saying about programs such as jelly bean keyfinder etc... and when I used them. I see that the cd key to the broadcast of programs is distinguished by the laptop product key code and it does not work.

    What can I do?

    Its a samsung laptop and I have windows 7 Home premium cd that comes with it.

    I really want to spend the money on a new product key.

    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".

  • Can I reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium with a key?

    Hello world. I want to reinstall my edition of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop of HP 2000 due to some nasty malware or false-positive accidentally that messed up my Windows 7. Here's my problem. I can't tell if my software is OEM. I tried to go to my computer properties, but because of the incident, I can't get there because of the Explorer Windows unresponsive and reboot. The sticker is a little messed up, and I can't read the last part of the product key, so I need this information to find. But if it is an OEM, can I actually reinstall Windows securely, without the key is invalid or anything? I already have a genuine version of Home Premium installed on it.

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

    No, the key will be invalid and the recovery partition does not use the key on the COA sticker in any case. In your case, it IS an emergency key code in which case you could use an OEM disc Windows 7 credits for purposes of recovery...

    The ID of the product corresponds to the key for product activation. That's why it failed. The original operating system was an OEM version.

  • Had a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade: I installed on the second machine and now do not know how to activate it.

    A few years back, I bought a laptop Dell 1537 that came pre-installed with Vista and also came with a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade.  I installed upgrading Windows 7 on the laptop from last year, and everything is fine with it.   Three weeks ago, I used this same disc to upgrade to Windows 7 and installed upgrading Windows 7 to my Dell XPS 430 desktop, with also came pre-installed with Vista.  At this point, I use an inactivated version of Windows 7 on my XPS 430.  With the 30-day grace period, Miss, I'm now unsure of how to properly activate the upgrade of Windows 7 on the XPS 430.  I know that I need a new product key, but what version of Windows 7 buy to get a product key valid: Windows 7 home Premium Upgrade, or Windows 7 Home Premium Full Version?

    Hello

    Since you have already used the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to perform an installation upgrade on another computer, as you mentioned that you need a new product key to activate on another computer.

    You can either buy a updated version product key or full.

    If you purchase a product key for the version complete and in the future if you need to reinstall Windows, you can use the product key to perform a reinstallation without performing an upgrade installation.

    When you use an upgrade product key and if you need to reinstall Windows, you need to reinstall the Windows Help without using the upgrade product key and again perform an upgrade installation of the installed Windows to activate the system by using an upgrade product key.

    You can also get in touch with Microsoft Customer services for assistance.

  • How can I disable the auto restart (following updates) for Windows 7 Home Premium (without messing around w / the register)?

    Hello.  About all of the weeks I have my upload computer files from one day to the next.  It's a 17-hour process, and I don't want the computer off or restarted during this process.  Murphy's law usually results in an update windows & restart related happening whenever I put my computer to download said.  First of all, it is deeply annoying that windows would reboot my computer without asking me (Yes, I realize he asks you, and if you are away for an extended period, he just goes ahead and does it... but really, what the $#! % is the point of asking you if she goes ahead and that anyway when you get him just enough early?)  Wow!  Incredibly retarted the Windows for this.)  But anyway, how can I disable this for Win7 Home Premium?  (As if in the first place is not quite annoying, making it virtually impossible to figure out how to turn it off is like adding insult to injury).  Please NOTE, I've seen some other forum post responses on this site that is: (1) link to an information page on the group policies for system administrators, but nowhere does really explain where and how to access these policies and change them!  (2) has a process that begins with 'gpedit.msc' running, but when I started > box to search for this file, there is no result.  (3) the hacking the registry (seriously?  Please, don't.)  SO, please tell me how to disable the auto restart, step by step, without messing with the registry, for WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to potentially re - activate cela in the future and/or switches back as my usage dictates.  And for the record, it's nut that's not a simple option toggle any, as when my computer or monitor sleeps...  Thank you!!

    Thank you.  I'll do it and change my Windows Update settings.  BUT, FYI, in an act even more incredible, the same night I posted my question here, my computer was said upload, and I was still in place at 03:00 (when Windows is set to d/l and install updates).  I went to the kitchen for a bit and returned to my computer to find a countdown - he downloaded updates and "will re-start in 7 minutes" or so and counting down... I said "AH HA!"  I caught you! "I clicked the button of REPORTER and went to bed smiling that I myself had saved wasting many hours of work.  But when I woke up the next morning... HE HAD DONE IT AGAIN!  This means that it is: (1) downloaded another "critic" (cough) update later in the evening, which seems likely because it took to do this at 03:00 and had already done so... or (2) the REPORTER button defers only during a certain period of time (maybe an hour, or even less, by the look of it) and then do it again anyway.

    This is ridiculous.  As it is not ridiculous to called 9 10 patches 'critical', so critical that an urgent restarting your computer is necessary EVEN IF HE is BUSY WORKING, the substitution of the computer user asks to postpone and reboot anyway is absolutely unacceptable.  How the manufacturers of Windows might think this makes sense, let alone was a good idea?  Reporter should make the computer restarts DO NOT until * I * say he is allowed to do.

    In this case, finish the work of 17 hours, that the computer was in the Middle has been MUCH more critical that whatever is downloaded updated.  NO doubt about it.  I know.  Apparently, my operating system is not smart enough to know.  So to take it upon himself to replace my reporter application is crazy.  And in addition, the operating system MUST be smart enough to understand this - it's really not that difficult - if the computer is a lot of work, something intense, a download that is not finished, a sort of bar of ANY progress on ANY application which is not 100% yet, etc., it should be smart enough to WAIT to reboot anyway.

    Thanks again once, change Windows Update settings so it will download updates but let me choose to install them, since this operating system is so poorly thought.
