Microsoft Software Recovery
Ok here is what bothers me. I have been trying to do this for days. I have SEVERAL OEM 64bit Win 7 ult DVDs. None work, saying they are older than the one I am installing. Now here is the real bitch.
I have seen this happen 2 times but as they were doing it I did NOT take notes, or really pay attention.
Microsoft paid technical support CAN and HAS done a repair install of a PC via REMOTE! First time I watched it happen and had no clue what they were doing till it was done. But they were able to do it WITHOUT any media at all! I am not sure what they did to cause the end results were exactly what's described in this article! (unfortunately the problem had to do with a picture codec program, and the reinstall worked until windows updates were installed, conflicted with the viewer and all hell broke loose again)
But the point was it was awesome! No program re-installs, YAY! Now if they can do it, why cant we, there must be a way.
Every time I do a hardware upgrade, I would like to reset windows so to speak, but without installing the 100s of programs I have. This IS the answer, but now to get it to work with Windows ultimate SP1 OEM with all windows updates installed. I know its possible, I have seen it.
We are trying to fix a problem using these steps, but we get several pop ups. One of the issues is the following....
My picture won't post, but it's saying my version is more up to date then the one on my installation disc. It won't let us do anything more because it's in the compatibility section. Any help would be appreciated.
