  • where to find the installation of Windows 8 home disc base language

    My brother tried to restart his g500s Lenovo with Windows 7.

But I don't know where to find this version.

    Please if someone could help

    Hello

    It's what you essentially have is a new installation or resumption of the plant and because your a single key is damaged, your only option would be to buy the discs or USB Drive Lenovo's.

    I don't think they said have you need a new license, you do not have.

    What you need are the disks that will essentially perform the function of a key...

    It varies depending on the manufacturer, but the game runs normally around US $20...

    However, it is not a new license. A new license would be a lot more money...

    He's using you current license... just reinstall your original configuration.

    Hello

    You can't reinstall Vista on a recovery partition you have installed another operating system

    read this:

    Solve a common problem of recovery.
    If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.

    ________________________________________________________

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    you say, that they will not!

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    You don't need a Windows installation CD in order to backup data files.  What makes you think do you?

    [The light bulb turns]: you're probably trying to install NTBackup.  My advice to you is to forget NTBackup and get a disk imaging or cloning application.  I propose the following actions:

    Acronis True Image Home 
    Paragon backup and recovery home
    Casper 6.0
    Norton Ghost (used to be the standard for imaging applications, but I haven't used recent editions; if you really want to use a Symantec product, read the reviews on Amazon)
