Solved windows 7 says I need administrators permission

[Bonnie Jean]

COA The sticker says it is illegal to remove or sell the sticker.

The Product key is ***REMOVED**

ENA Code is **REMOVED**

Under that it says it is COA certified and gives a microsoft url.
I downloaded the windows 7 usb tool and the other url you gave me for the Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 English Official downloads but it opens to OMG burner X17-58997.iso
I googled it and it gives that same number so is this correct? When I tried to put the other file in it to burn it doesn't see it.
I hope this finally is on the road to getting what I need to do.
When I set this up a year and a half ago I had the choice of Swedish or English and chose English for the downloading. Don't know if that helps. I do not do well reading instructions in Swedish a newspaper or book is fine but instructions are to short for me to pick up what is going on if I don't recognize a word or two.

I asked you for the licensed version name, not the Product Key.

Exactly what version does it say on the sticker, verbatim?

As it says in the tutorial Step 2 and I wrote out for you two posts above, burn the ISO with Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool.

This means to download and Install the tool, browse to the ISO when prompted and burn it to disk if you're sure you have Home Premium and not Home Premium N or some other version.

I also asked you about this:

I would consider doing the alternative of running Minimal HP System Recovery. If you choose Minimal Recovery it will be almost the same as doing a Clean Reinstall. If you have wireless it will use the HP Wireless Manager which needs to be turned off, then uninstalled, then connect wirelessly through the Win7 System Tray connection icon.

Let's do it the easiest way.

This is the 3rd time! I keep crashing. I took pics of all the labels will do a couple of replies here.
If they are needed for the easier way for recovery you will have them. I have been confused and lost on every post since pg 11 and have had no idea what I should or shouldn't do. I am sorry. Let me know if you still need them. I will again put every single thing on that label. Windows 7 Home Premium OA
COA Label not to be sold separately Microsoft.comhowtotell
On the other side of the label it has a number after the bar code and the rest is simply the numbers I gave you before which I realize was wrong.
I have IMG installed. If you need me to burn the ISO to a dvd that is fine just tell me where to find it. I know I am frustrating you and believe me I am not happy with all of my confusion.

 

[gregrocker]

OK, so it's Windows 7 Home Premium. You have the correct download which will activate with the Product Key on the sticker if you decide to do the Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.

Now how about running the Minimal HP System Recovery which should be easier for you to do since it includes all of your drivers. Read over that blue link and let me know which you think you prefer - that or the Clean Reinstall. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164

From what I read about the System Recovery it looks like all the things I have no idea of what we have been talking about are not needed. My files are all on the external. I have all the programs I use on a flash drive - but I do have a question I understand I can turn on the firewall before I go on line. But is there a way I can get my Panda Scan on a cd or dvd or flash drive to set up totally before I go on line? I know I was off line and tried to put it in one time and of course was told that even with the download I had to be on line. 2nd question if it asks for administrators permission am I going to be stopped? 3rd question do I still make a dvd using omg burner for something I don't know what to download and will need an explanation on how to find it. This recovery if taking several hours I will have to start in the morning and be right here. Evening won't work my chronic fatigue keeps me zonking out all the time after 10 pm. I do have 4 recovery dvd's and I understand I use them only if prompted to do so. I will do what you say is the best to do as you know what you are doing. If it is this System Restore I will get a notebook and make notes from the video I watched and will have to wait until we do not have thunder and lightening warnings. We did yesterday and again today and maybe tomorrow. What am I missing?

 

[gregrocker]

I would uninstall any AV which the Recovery replaces, then install Microsoft Security Essentials.

Then all you need is the free (not trial) Malwarebytes scanner for on-demand scanning, perhaps monthly or if you think you have an infection.

Save the Recovery disks to run only if HP System Recovery when run from Windows or by using the F11 key fails.

Be sure to look for the Minimal Recovery choice which is on most modern models. If not then you will have all of the terrible load of HP bloatware restored, so I would conider proceeding with the Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 instead, or be sure afterwards to Clean Up Factory Bloatware

Ok will go over entire pc and make sure all user folder etc are on external and other files I have kept. I put the Microsoft security system download on my flash drive. That will work correct?
Then before plugging in I put that in and then once on Internet I update windows 7 and put in the freeware malwarebytes. I had the older one and it was on all the time but this new updated one doesn't or am I missing something? Once I am on internet again I just put in the programs I use and start over. Now in watching the HP recovery video there is no mention of a minimal recovery. Just recovery to factory default. That will put the junk in again? I can recognize some of it but probably not all. I did searches on how to do a minimal recovery on HP but nothing comes up that pertains to that. If I do the clean reinstall we are back to where I don't know even what to burn as I don't know how to find it etc. Is there a hijack program or something I can run and post back here to you and you can tell me what I missed taking out? I think it would be easier on both of us if we can avoid hours of you trying to get me to do what is needed.

 

[gregrocker]

Once you're sure you have everything backed up, run Minimal Recovery, then get online, install Teamviewer. PM me the ID and password so I can connect to set it up and optimize for you.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

Gregrocker: I will be doing it either tomorrow morning or Wed morning depending on the weather reports. As I said when I watched the HP video it only said system recovery to factory default. I googled if there was a minimal recovery on HP and I couldn't find anything. Since I was driving us both crazy with the clean reinstall I will do the minimal if I can otherwise the factory default. I don't know what time zone you are in and when I should be here but once I put in microsoft firewall and antivirus and the Malwarebytes and the Team Viewer I will contact you by private message and give you the password and just leave the pc on until you find me. Does that sound ok? The stormy night and day turned into a calm night and sunshine today so who knows? Thank you for still offering to come in and do the rest. I thought I was going to muddle along until I got it done.

 

[gregrocker]

Sounds good, Bonnie.

Remember to make your HP Recovery media first so you have a backup method in case running Recovery from F11 fails.

Or you can fall back on the Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.

Once you get TV installed I'll connect and chat with you as I set it up, clean up any bloatware and optimize it for you.

What do you use for Word Processing again? Do you have a copy of Office or do you need Works? I have the installers to send over if you have the Product Key. Just run Belarc Advisor to audit any installed Product Keys off the system.

Be sure to also put your two Network adapters I linked earlier for you in the backup as a precaution.

I have Microsoft Office Starter 2010 I think it was updated after I downloaded it, everything else I had to buy, and Notepad.
I have the 4 recovery discs I made in January of 2012 and one disc dated the same that I wrote System Repair on. That is the back up I need correct?
Is there more that I need? Since everything costs money and our pensions were cut by $2000 a month because we had to take early pension because of illness they are now taking the money out of our pension. I checked everything under users is in my external. I will un plug the externals and all the other things as the video said. Do we talk for real or do we have to type back and forth? Question being do I keep my speakers plugged in.

 

[gregrocker]

If MS Office Starter came preinstalled on your PC then it will be restored when you run Recovery. Otherwise it is no longer available for download since MS is providing free cloud Office services in Office 13: Microsoft begins phasing out Starter edition of its Office suite | ZDNet

What software did you buy exactly? Do you still have the installers and Product Keys? You should not have to buy any software again but we need to make sure you have it available to reinstall if it's something you want to keep.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

I downloaded the Microsoft word program it wasn't in my pc. I have no idea what programs came in the pc. I didn't buy any thing extra to put in the hard drive. I think I got the Microsoft program because I had an old cd that needed that to open it. It is filled with stories I have written hoping for a children's book. I guess I have lost them now.
So I don't have any product keys unless they are somewhere on the pc but a search doesn't show anything. I did find this to download it says it is free. Microsoft Word - latest version free download. Install new version 2013
Is there anything else I need if the one we will try doesn't work? I was looking through my programs and saw Recovery folder. I clicked on it and the choices are not the minimal it is factory default.

This free program will allow you to see what you have installed and if there is a registration number it will also give it to you.

Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer. Software license management, IT asset management, cyber security audits, and more.

Please don't post any registration or COA numbers.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

Ok I just ran it should I fix it without the numbers of the system Model, serial and assist tag and attach it?

 

[gregrocker]

If you have no paid software installed then you can post the Belarc Report the way it is, going to the browser Tools>File tab to Save file, attach using paper clip in reply post. The Win7 Product Key cannot be used since it's a SLP factory mass activation key and not the one on your COA sticker.

Almost every factory OEM PC has Office preinstalled on it, but those with Office 2010 installed had the free Starter version which works fine on its own. So if you had Starter it most likely was preinstalled at the factory since that's the only way it was distributed unless you got ahold of a download while it was still floating around.

So chances are you will again have Starter when you do Factory Recovery. If not you'll need to look into the current free version of Office Word which is only available as web app. Then there is also an excellent compatible Office suite available for free from http://www.openoffice.org/.

Sure hope this all works out. Supposed to storm and it is cool and gray so can't today.
I remember getting out my cd with my stories on and they wouldn't open I had to go and get the freeware that was on microsoft. I thought it strange that they didn't have something on it. Must be a "monday made pc".
I ran the Belarc file and I go to the files at the top and save as and save to a folder on my desktop and when I try to attach it I get that it is an invalid file form. I copied and pasted it to my email and put that in the folder but invalid again. What do I do?

 

[Bonnie Jean]

Wow Microsoft word let me make a file

Here it is in pdf file. Is this ok? I can't figure out any other way to get it to you.

 

[gregrocker]

Just save it to the desktop (without a folder) and then attach it to your reply.

It failed to copy and paste into the Word Document. Perhaps it's because you involved email for some inexplicable reason.

You can also try printing but choose XPS Document instead of your printer in the drop down menu on Print box. Then save to Desktop and attach, or copy and paste that print.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

try again Belarc saved to desktop

Belarc Advisor Computer Profile.html:
Invalid File
I don't have a printer we can't afford the ink. Is there a private email you can message me that I can send the copy I made on my email? I can copy and paste here maybe like I did some of those other scans that wouldn't attach??
