Hey,
I purchased my laptop with windows vista on it. I recently purchased windows 7 online using that college discount. Just the other day my hard drive crashed and was sent a new HD with windows vista on it. I am wondering how I can reinstall windows 7 OS. PLEASE tell me it is possible. thanks :)
Custom Install Windows 7
Follow these instructions. Do not give key when asked and un check the box asking if you want automatic activation. Use for a while then give your number.
Otherwise - do you have your order number.
You could try contacting where you placed the order - I assume Digital River.
They should have a copy of the product key number .
I was able to login to the windows online store and retrieve my product key but the link that allows me download says unable to download because its been more than 30 days. What should I do? I have a freaking product key haha help
do i just download the ISO file?
I suppose you do whatever it says on the site - "ms fixes upgrade problems" - so it should be fine.
What bit version and Edition did you purchase?
In the future, keep a Win7 backup image saved externally so you can reimage HD or replacement in 15-20 minutes.
