WIN 7 Home Premium and a HP mini 210-1000!

Have mini 210-1000, refurb, came with a WIN 7 Starter, never did check and record the product key that came with...ERROR!
1.  Went on line 12 days ago and purchased WIN 7 Home premium.  Have spend HOURS on line with MS techs trying to get it to install.  Came here before I waste any more time.
This machine has 1G RAM - CAN it install WIN 7 Home premium?
2.  Since the last attempted install (MS using PowerISO Virtual Drive Manager (free download ver.), and which was UNsuccessful, my HP and MS now tell me that my WIN 7 Starter is 'not genuine' and they give me several options to obtain the product key. 
The product key in control panel/status is not EVEN in the correct format and starts with 2 (unacceptable) zeros...
IF this machine was refurbed by HP or Contractor, does HP have a usable product key to return me to normal operation?  Am having trouble re-reaching the MS tech, I believe HE's out of ideas...
ANYone know a guru ?  Am not quite ready to invest  $$$ to fix a mess that MS started - and it's a long, long story...which takes me back to the original question:  am I asking my Notebook to install WIN 7 Home Premium when it's not able??
Thank you for any help you can provide!

  • Windows 7 home premium and windows 8.1 pro op network problem

    I have two PC-s, one is with windows  7 home premium  and the other one with  windows 8.1 pro op system.  They are wired via ethernet/ home network. Till I had old Windows  XP instead of Windows 7, the two PC-s were connected,
    file sharing and device sharing was easy and functioning. 
    Today it doesn't,  windows 8.1 finds the other PC and creating the network, even identifying the different folders on the other PC however as I want to open a file, then loading forever starts, but
    on the other side the windows 7 PC is frozen, only the hard switch off helps. ...
    Any idea what to do? The diagnose shows that the access was lost.

    Here is the forum for you

  • I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

    I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

    It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
    When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

    I need my product key to enable to activate windows vista home premium and i can't see it on Certificate of Authenticity label

    Once the label is worn, you cannot get another key for free. You are better to order a recovery disc set from HP, then you dont need a key
    You can order HP recovery media below, or call HP on the phone to order 1-800-474-6836

    If HP no longer has Recovery Media for your model, order them here

  • Formatted HP dm4-3099se with Windows 7 Home Premium and Would Want to Re-install the Home Premium

    My laptop is HP Pavilion dm4-3099se and it came with Windows 7 Home Premium. The password was misplaced and I was advised to format the system. The system was formatted (all the disks were deleted except the C: drive) and a Windows 8 pro OS installed. Shortly after the formatting, the misplaced password was found. If it is possible, I would love to revert to the OS that came with the system (i.e Window Home Premium) and also recover all the drivers that came with the system.
    Please, help me.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    There are Two options available.
    1.  You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - these will reinstall the operating system, all required drivers and nearly all of the original software ( the exception often being trials of MS Office ).  They will also re-create all the original partitions, including the Recovery Partition.
    Order HP Recovery Discs.
    2.  Another option you could consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
    Also, if possible, back-up the swsetup folder that can be found at the root of your C drive.
    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source ( Digital River ).
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
    Regarding the drivers etc you need, if you were able to back-up the swsetup this will contain all the software and driver installers for your notebook - if you weren't able to, drivers and software you may need can also be found Here.
    Best regards,

  • Windows 7 Home premium and Oracle 10g Compatibility

    hi

    Setup doesnot starts even if i install it in Windows xp (Service Pack 2) compatibility settings
    plz tell me some solution
    or suggest me some alternatives, if it doesnot have any solutions
    waiting for ur kind response
    Edited by: 782710 on Jul 17, 2010 3:24 PM

    Hi,
    I am not so sure about if win 7 is compatible with 10g, however what i have read on forums is that u can install oracle 11 g on win 7.
    in case u still wish to install 10g then u can install it on xp or on OEL ( Oracle Enterprise linux )
    OEL is free of cost - this is just another flavour of linux managed by oracle
    u can install it on virtual box ( google this ) , virtual box is a free software, where as vmware server is paid.
    I was in same situation as u r just 2 weeks back, and now i have oracle 10g on OEL on virtual box.
    Hope it helps

  • S10 Vista Home Premium and Bluetooth

    Windows Home Premium doesn't see my Bluetooth adapter.  Whewn I download and install the driver pointed to by Kevin Kein, it says I don't have a Bluetooth device.  I could have sworn the S10 had a Bluetooth adapter under XP, but I could be wrong.
    Does anyone know if the S10 shipped with an integrated Bluetooth adapter?
    In the interim, I am using an USB adapter with its associated software, but given that the S10 only has 2 USB drives, I'd like to free up that port.  My USB external drive uses two ports when I backup my system.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    best way is look at Configuration .. but most S10 in US there isnt BT...

    I have installed Windows Vista 64-bit on a new computer (HP of course) and want to be able to use HP's "Smart Web Printing" software.  I have used it quite a bit on a Windows XP machine and love it.  Looking at the download page, it appears that the Smart Web Printing software is not compatible with Vista 64-bit.  Is this correct?  Will a new version be coming out that will be compatible?
    Have you tried installing it anyways and see what happens?
