  Lately, I got several calls from East Indian, who say they work for Microsoft and they have detected the problem with my Windows and the computer.  I usually hang up on them, because I don't think that Microsoft is doing this.  I just got this call and has played with the guy for a while, but he was willing to go to make changes via commands back that sounded suspicious to me so I hung up.  I'm just confirm, but Microsoft does not doesn't it?

  This is a scam that last for years. Microsoft never does unsolicited phone calls.

• Phone call claiming to be from the Windows team

  I just received a phone call claiming to be from the Windows team in Ontario (Canada) saying that my computer was downloading tons of things on the web, and it had infected and it was my computer.  I'm guessing it's a scam?

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• I received a phone call from a fellow of the center of Windows Service in Ontario

  original title: Windows repair center

  I received a phone call from a classmate of the Service Windows in Ontario reports saying they received a lot of error in my computer and he was going in wrong places. I had no idea. His name was Nelson Jones, and he was actually control my computer. That interested me. Also, he wanted me to register with Windows Server so that they could help solve my computer issues, at a cost, of course, I expect if it is not a scam. Is there a way that can be verified. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

  It is a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

  Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).

  It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

  Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

  Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site!

  Received phone call from a man named Thomson.  He said he was with Windows in the United States and Florida.   Was given the phone number of 315-506-4544.  Asking for help with problems with my computer detected by Windows.  He said that I was risking my computer and overwriting of files.  Very difficult to understand.  He asked I right click on my computer and highlight all the files with any questions.  I didn't trust this person so I hung up the phone.  I continued to return calls 4 - 5 times.  This doesn't seem to be a legitimate caller.  My security proovider is AVG and they say my computers are recording to date.  Was it a bogus scam

  It is very difficult to manage my files.

• How do contact you windows to report a scam phone call

  Hi I was just wondering how do you report this scam to the phone call, you go to your local police or don't expect, or how can contact you with windows, I get these calls every day telling me I have a virus and to turn on my computer, it is a call of the Indian region, but the problem is that they call my house number and I don't have my home number recorded by windows / hotmail. So how they got, it's unreal. I was wondering if anyone can help urgently! Thank you

  Hi Niamh,

  If you know who is in contact with you, then you can either call their phone service provider and ask them to try to block the number or contact your local police.

  Microsoft has nothing to do with those calls.

• I am unable to get the computer manufacturer to send the disc to reinstall Vista. I tried to do this task almost 3 weeks. I need to reinstall Vista so that I can upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. Please help me. I have the product code.

  I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I try to install the 64-bit version.  Info on other forums says there is no way to do it without a disk... I do not have with the computer.

  To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do with a FULL 64-bit version, by performing a clean install. so I don't see what the problem on Vista reinstall is.

  Unless you have Vista 64 bit, it will not help you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• How can I reinstall Windows 8 on an OEM laptop when I don't have the product key?

  I bought an Asus x401a laptop for my daughter as a Christmas gift. It comes preinstalled with Windows 8. Yesterday, the unit closed at key and we had to make a hard stop. On reboot, Windows will not start and instead came up with a screen that informed it was an automatic repair. This obviously didn't want to; the unit restarted and launched the auto repair, which once again. The third box... I had a few options: I could update the installation or reset it. There were several recorded files (we only had a few weeks), so I chose Reset, which if I understand correctly, it would clear everything and start over. After a while, another screen informed me that Windows could not reset the computer, who took over the entire process to the wire.

  I ran across this process several times, each time with the same result. I do not think that anything is actually wrong with the material (such as menus and other seem to work correctly; I think it's maybe just a corrupted file system) and I'd like to do a reinstall of the operating system, as it came from the factory. This is where I ran into my problem:

  • I can't download the Microsoft operating system legitimately, without providing the product key in the download tool
  • The product key is apparently built into the BIOS and not print anywhere, so I can't find my existing key without some sort of tool
  • Various tools are available to 'sniff' the product key from the BIOS, but because Windows is not running, I can't use them

  So my question is: exactly what should be my next step? ASUS would have a copy of the key related to my serial number, etc.. ? Should I install an old copy of Windows 7 just so that I can run a utility to get the key from the BIOS, or who will replace the number by something else? Or is there perhaps some way I can get the key of product directly from you?

  I like to keep Windows 8, as my daughter has already learned the interface, but at this point, it looks like this may be impossible by design.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you reinstall Windows 8 in the OEM specifications.

  As it is the OEM of Windows 8 version, the system manufacturer will have more details in this regard. I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the system.
