Do not need the Disc as it can be Downloaded .. The Product Key how ever you do need ... Usually they are underneath the Laptop .. But your Laptop came with Vista ? ...

Sorry was deep into the large filing cabinet looking for it...lol...No it's Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit

maxie said:

Might be a Sticker underneath then for the Product Key ? ...

Yes I have that...do you want me to pm you with that?

maxie said:

No it has 25-characters which you can read clearly ?

Yes ma'am

If you have any question feel free to ask ..


Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

I'm confused with this message that was in a RED WARNING box..

Warning
Note that the Windows 7 Product Key found by Belarc or another key finder will be an SLP batch key used at factory, if it has not yet been activated from COA sticker key used for a Clean Reinstall. This SLP batch key cannot be used for reinstall.




What exactly does this mean? If I already did a Clean Reinstall I can't do it again?

maxie said:

No it just means if you used a key finder it would not be the same as the Product COA Key sticker if your Install was a Factory OEM Insulation .. You do not need to worry about that as you have the Product Key ..

Ok got worried for a minute there...because Greg did a clean reinstall for me I think back in 2013...
