Windows 7 upgrade Edition. Lost vista key. With the help of training camp.

OK, so it's a complex problem. I use an iMac with bootcamp, and everything was working fine until I decided to reinstall Mac OS X. The problem occurred after I tried to re access my bootcamp partition to see that it does not load. I've tried everything I can think and find it on google as startup repair but I get various errors that it considers that there is no such thing as my windows partition. In any case, my windows 7 is an updated edition I had with my computer dell laptop. I've upgraded windows vista to windows 7. Recently, I sold my computer dell laptop and lost the product key of vista which was located on the lower part of it. The copy is still valid to me, but I was wondering if there is any way to recover my main windows using bootcamp, without being able to load windows. All I can use is Mac OS X. Any suggestions how I can get windows working again without having to clean install I'll lose my real activation.

Thank you!

Well, the fact that it is a Windows 7 Upgrade that came with your Dell, this would mean, you shouldn't even use it with your iMac because it would mean its OEM license that is related to your Dell computer.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    Editions of Windows upgrade

    Hey guys, I have a Windows Vista free disk and I'm building a new pc. I plan Windows 7 Pro, but I want to know if I need to install Vista on it for the purchase of a Windows 7 upgrade edition, or can I use the product key that came with Vista, when you install the updated version?

  • Drivers Toshiba for Windows XP Home edition and VISTA fpr a Satellite Pro P100 - PSPAH

    Hello.

    I need help. I bought a Satellite pro P100 - PSPAH with Vista Premium Home edition version of recovery. Now, I want to install a second operating system such as Windows XP Home edition on this laptop. The problem is that Windows XP Home edition did not find 3 drivers. For sound, LAN and another device. For this reason I update my notebook with the latest chipset drivers, but the problem is still there. Vista now has problems with the drivers, too. I can't find the special driver on toshiba home page.

    Jens MFG

    Hello

    I understand your problem at the moment that I also prefer XP instead of Vista operating system.
    Vista needs simply too many resources for laptop and all applications and 3rd devices are not 100% supported by Vista.

    But what say man seems to find compatible drivers on chip manufacturing sites.
    Download and install a tool called Everest or other similar hardware diagnostic tool and try to find out what LAN and sound chips are used in your laptop!
    Then, you can search drivers Intel, Realtek, etc... pages

    You know the website driver Toshiba Canada?
    http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_byModel.asp

    There you will find also some Pro P100 series. Try these drivers. It's worth a try.

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards

  • My eMachines / Windows XP Home Edition lost my photos

    My eMachines / Windows XP Home Edition lost my photos just before it came down. I sent my computer to be fixed and the computer technology said my hard drive was still good and looked for the photos himself, but could not find them.  I had a lot of pictures on my computer is there a way I can find them?

    If the disk has been formatted and Windows has been reinstalled.
    I guess that your photos are non-recoverable.

    There is a * slight * chance than the freeware next or
    other similar programs could recover some or all
    your files. A Google search for File Recovery can find
    other options.

    Hard disk activity increases the chances of on-
    write the pictures then using the version of Recuva Portable
    may be the best option.

  • 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

  • How to create the ISO image of windows 8 with the help of boot, efi, sources, and support files

    Hello
    I followed folders in my USB key:

    Boot
    EFI
    Sources
    Support,

    and the following files:

    Setup
    Bootmgr.EFI
    Bootmgr

    How can I create an ISO image of windows 8 with the help of these files and folders. I even installed ADK, but I couldn't keep up with it.
    I would be very grateful if someone could help me out here.

    Secondly, I would also like to know how to create a system image of WINDOWS 8, where the hard drive breaks down.

    Concerning
    MAK

    If you have the upgrade key, go here

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    You can go for the use of win8 / win7 / vista to match highlights you want - and download the win8 installation and run the installation with your key to download you need to install windows from that.  Will allow you to have an iso bootable.

    Make a picture of the control panel system / Windows 7 file recovery / system Image.  I certainly wouldn't put it on dvd.  It will be too.   Find an old preference portable hard drive and buy a $ 20 usb box, get an external hard drive.

  • With the help of Vista on the laptop. Receive 3 updates on initialize to the top & stop. Do not install. Party at 3 x through process 80070002. How to fix?

    With the help of Vista on the laptop. Receive 3 updates on initialize to the top & stop.  Do not install.  Party at 3 x through process 80070002. How to fix?  3 updates failed to install: KB2779562, KB2705219 and KB2722913.  Constantly configures updates during startup and shutdown.  Takes a long time for the two workers.  Can anyone give advice?

    To decode 0 x 80070002. X 0 means that it is a hexadecimal number, 8 , error, the first 7 means it a windows error and the rest of Eastern 2, the number, the Windows error.
     
    To search for the error message we need to decimal format. Start the Calculator (Start - All Programs - Accessories - calculator) and choose the menu display - scientific, then the menu display - Hex. Enter 2 Menu display - decimal. It will say 2.
     
    Start an command prompt (Start - All Programs - Accessories - command prompt) and type
     
    net helpmsg 2
     
    and it will say
     
    The system cannot find the specified file.
     
    Use Notepad to search for FATAL and 80070002 in C:\Windows\Windowsupdate.log.

    With the help of the network location and mapped a drive to the server FTP off site; during the transfer of very large amounts of the login information is always lost.  Computer power settings are configured to not to do no matter what, I'm assuming that the ftp server can publish a scenerio timeout but is there a way for my computer and windows to restart the file transfer?
