Windows 7 Home Premium OA product key can be used only with the recovery disk?

I bought an Acer laptop, he arrived with Windows 7 Home Prem OA sticker behind. I've heard, if you want to reinstall windows, we can only use Acer Recovery Disc for this product keys? Is this right? Can I use any other Windows 7 Home Prem CD and install it and then I put the product key of the laptop, it can also?

Thank you

You can use a disk from Windows 7 Home Edition Premium authentic retail.

There is no need to separately download OEM or retail of Windows 7 RTM installation DVD ISO, as the release of Windows 7 installation can be easily converted using simply the correct product key (for example OEM_SLP product key can convert an installation of Windows 7 at retail in OEM version), as issued by the OEM product keys has a different basis of the retail product key. For ISO of DVD images, the only difference between a Windows 7 RTM retail ISO and ISO of OEM of Windows 7 RTM is in position of EI.cfg file [channel], which specifies the sales channel to retail or OEM.

  • 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

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

  • 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".

    Hello

    The product key you use to install could be a volume license key, you can contact your network administrator to download the iso from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and install the W8. The W8 will be key during the installation or is installed with the default key that will work for 30 days. If it is installed with a default key, you can change the product key with the suite of measures

    -Run as administrator command line
    -Enter the following command

    slmgr.vbs-ipk TYPE-YOUR-KEY-RIGHT-HERE
    -Now go to the properties of your computer and click on activate Windows.

    She's... You are finished with the activation of new volume Windows8 license.
