Windows 7 installation

[Jenith]

Hey, how can i reset windows without loosing my license key?
Greeting from Norway!

[Giraffackle]

Are you intending to reinstall windows? I believe to do this is by putting the cd in, deleting the current partition, then reinstalling windows.

Then run it, note down the key, make sure you take a picture of it incase you get a letter wrong, then re-install windows 7 and then use the key when it asks you to. 

 

Does your pc not have a sticker on the side of the case?

You should be able to reuse the key 

[Jenith]

You should be able to reuse the key 

okey, but that key is for windows 7 home premium, and i only have a windows 7 professional disk.

[Giraffackle]

Oh, well then that's a problem. The only way of installing premium would be to get another cd then.

If you have access to another computer, download the official .iso from the Microsoft store and burn it to a CD/memory stick. (http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool). Then select the device as your boot device and re-use the key that was on the sticker on your laptop.

 

Also yes downloading the iso is perfectly legal since it's the trial version, activating it with a keygen/fake key is the illegal part.

make sure to click bootable, any chance of burning it to a dvd or something? 

[NARAKU_KAT]

I guess if you re-install and "Overwrite" the actual Win7 installation the new install will keep most of your data in a folder called "Windows.old" or such, please tell me if i'm wrong guys.

I'm going to download it and see if the file is corrupt or something. Do you have DVD burner? and a DVD RW?

It does not seem to work with the usb thing, 

 

Can you try mounting it and then creating another iso and then try the usb tool again.
