• Satellite L750-1WW - Windows 7 Home premium OEM reinstall

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L750-1WW used (about 3 years).

  The only issue with it is, that there Windows 7 Professional and of course corrupt, but the original OS was Home Premium. This laptop will be my mother, and I don't want to (and also) to pass messages each time you start: "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and other things.

  Another thing: there is no recovery partition! I couldn't do a simple system restore...
  However, it is a key product for HP Win7 64 bit on the bottom of the PC, it does not work on any Windows 7 (Home Premium - Ultimate - Professinal, 32-64 bit), I tried all the possibilities.

  I asked Microsoft Community to give me assistance on the resettlement of the original operating system.

  They told me to say to my Toshiba problem, because only the manufacturer can wake the system, or reinstall the original OS.
  So now, I ask you for help.

  Greetings,
  Csaba

  Hello

  > Another thing: there is no recovery partition!
  Of course the previous owner has modified (formatted) HARD drive and the table partitions, and consequently, the recovery of partitions isn't available.

  The serial key you will find at the bottom of the unit does not have in relation to the clean Microsoft Windows operating system. He touches s an OEM and belongs to the Toshiba system preinstalled.

  If you want to get the original operating system preinstalled, you can order the recovery disk. The recovery disk would fix the laptop to factory condition.

  Here, you could get this disc:

• n/a: Windows 7 Home Premium: OEM or not?

  Greetings.

  I installed Windows 7 Home Premium on my desktop computer.

  My key is invalid, because it's installation of 3rd I played with this disc.

  I have 8 days to activate Windows, according to the nag screen that keeps popping up.

  I contacted Microsoft, they told me to buy a 3rd third party provider key.

  I googled "windows 7 Home premium English...» "and had this link:

  http://www.Google.com/aclk?SA=L&AI=CwTqRw_fYVb67BIvapgPfmonAAcuv4-9Bk6m8_pEBqOC7jkQICRABIN7Nzx4oA2DJ...

  My question is this: can I use the activation key that is provided with this download to activate my installed version of Windows 7 Edition Home Premium? What is OEM?

  Thank you.

  If it's legitimate, the key should work.  If the PC on which you try to install had OEM Windows 7 (same version that you have installed the new), it must be able to be activated without buying a new key.  But either way is OK.

  The PC comes with Windows 7 OEM installed should have a COA sticker on it somewhere to manage such reactivation as described in the post.

• Can I transfer a computer dead for a portable Win 7 Home premium OEM Windows XP?

  I can only remote access / VPN my workplace of servers (Cisco), using XP & I can't download XP mode with Win 7 home premium. The XP box is dead since March, & it's the only way I can think to restore my ability to work from home.

  How is it, you can only use Windows XP to access the VPN?  Cisco came out with Windows 7 and 64-bit software customers just now because so many people had the complaint of the old clients did not work.

  Anyway - OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they were installed on.  Regardless if this machine was used in a shooting Skeet or succumbs to a natural death, according to the agreement, if the original machine dies (cannot be retrieved), then the license also dies.

  I watch (or find work to examine) get the latest version of the Cisco (5.0.07.0290) client, if that is the question.  Or you can locate an unused OEM or an unused license Windows XP retail and use VirtualBox to make a virtual machine on Windows 7.

• WINDOWS XP HOME OEM - WINDOWS EXPLORER SE FEATURES AS WINDOWS 2000

  I have PC with Windows XP Home OEM version. I downloaded all updates etc is now updated with SP3. The problem is that when the navigation of folders, etc, the Windows Explorer always behaves more like Windows 2000 rather then XP is to say goto, until a level etc. which seems to suggest there may be a setting somewhere that requires XP behave more like W2K. Y at - it a fix/patch I can apply that will solve this particular problem. I want just XP to behave like XP and nothing else. Thank you.

  It does not matter that Windows 7 is based on XP and not the pain in the neck Vista!

  In any case I solved the problem now if someone else wants to know:

  Open any folder, point to the area below the top line (of the window that says File, Edit, View)

  Click with the right button and turn the STANDARD BUTTONS.

  That's all... now, it is just as easy.

• I get 'Invalid key' when you install Windows XP SP3 Home Edition from a CD at retail and used the OEM key

  I restore an HP Pavilion computer and try to install Windows XP Home Edition, with the button on the side of the computer.  I contacted HP and they no longer have an available for this computer recovery CD.  So, I tried to install a copy of Windows XP Edition retail family, but when I enter the OEM product key I get "invalid key".  I read on this forum that you can not mix the OEM disc/keys with detail, but it seems that I don't have to buy another copy of Windows when it came with my computer.  What choices do I have?

  None!

  So I don't Support HP and Microsoft no help either.  Activation Center asked me to call the Department of parts (which is incorrect) and the parts Department told me that they cannot provide Windows which was distributed by HP!  Microsoft changed this start with Vista, so I do not understand why they are always telling customers that.

• How to format c drive Windows XP Pro? I'm trying to downgrade to Windows XP Home Edition OEM CD. Request CD will not allow.

  Hello

  I have a PC with XP Pro, which I think is not a legitimate copy of the operating system.  So, I am trying to install an original OEM OS from Windows XP Home ed. Paraphasing error message: "Cannot go back," I want to start by reformatting the c drive.  However, I don't know how to do so on Windows and in the 'Run' dialog screen.  I tried to start the configuration of the screen (F8 on reboot) but the CD player says "disabled", and I can't seem to activate.  Any help that works will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
  PS: this is my first time using this forum, so I hope I can find the answer if someone answers

  I think xp reformatted drive what ever you choose to install on. A good work-around: do you do a fdisk. Set your bios to boot from floppy. Go to the directory and use the format command. That it will scan.

  Hello

  You can also use this method.

  You do not have a Vista disc that came with the computer to reinstall with, you should have a recovery Partition to do.

  Here is the HP Compaq information on how to use the recovery partition to put your computer in a new State.

  You press F11 at startup or through their Recovery Manager.

  It is all explained in this link.

• Can I temporarily install an OEM version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium on a virtual PC?

  original title: can I TEMPORARILY install a copy of OEM Vista home on Virtual PC

  I want to do a test run of my upgrade scheduled by using Virtual PC to make sure that I select the correct options which will not FUBAR my current system.

  To this end, can I take the drive provided by gateway labeled "Disk Operating System" and install on virtual pc by using the product key from the back of my PC, while at the same time that the current key is used to run the host operating system.

  I don't care about activation within 30 days, nor I care incidentally WGA (unless to do an upgrade installation), or even legality because of some stupid too restrictive EULA, I just keep can I do to make it work, then try to upgrade to 7 business to a second drive.

  When the tests are done, I'll delete the virtual machine and try it on the "live" system The problem is that I need to use the system with the keys that I use for these tests to do as I have nothing else not powerful enough to run Virtual PC for Vista/7.

  I'd rather FUBARing a virtual computer to the computer that I use to post on this forum. I don't want to take the risk of disabling the key on my current system because he thinks that I moved the key to a new.

  in fact, you were right for the wrong reason. It did not work with Virtual PC, but not for the reason you think. Setup requires a 64-bit computer.

  Makes me wonder, which actually means "virtual PC 64"? I thought I had the 64-bit version of VirtualPC.

  On the other hand, VMware Player had no problem with the installation. I put the virtual machine have no network card or any medium of communication. Also found it was a good thing that I was intending to double, as I can't upgrade with what I have. Or maybe it's because I have a not activate the installation I did.

  What I was trying to do, is check what to do a dual boot works the same way with Vista/7 as it does with previous versions of windows. I was thrown off the coast by warnings from installation CD on "this option does NOT keep your files. Audit confirmed through VMware Player.

  I install on a second disc with a backup of some files on what I decided to save the 80 GB for Linux drive. I wish it was an IDE hard drive, as I have much more need for a > 40 GB drive but<13Xgb (i="" can't="" recall="" what="" that="" bios="" limit="" on="" older="" computers="" was,="" it="" was="" 130-something,="" but="" some="" it="" was="" 127gb)="" on="" another="" older="">
