How to get windows 8 Pro software OS

I have bought a HP250 G2 notebook, the reseller said it comes with Windows7 Pro + Windows8 Pro, and there is a "Pro Windows8" sticker at the back of the notebook. However when I power on it, it is Windows 7 Pro pre-loaded. So how can I upgrade it to Windows8 Pro? I mean where to get the product key if I download it from Windows Store?

You buy it through MS not through HP...that is called a upgrade...but IMHO that is a downgrade...Your W8 will not improve or make any significant gain going to it if you screen isn't a touch screen.

  • How do I get Windows 8 Pro to recognize my optical drive?

    How do I get Windows 8 Pro to recognize my optical drive? I put in an installation disk and the OS does not recognize it is there?

    I looked for drivers for my superdrive but they don't appear to be available from the manufacturer (Sony). Fortunately I was able to load the contents of the installation disk onto the mac side of my computer and transfer it onto the windows side where I could install it. So I am fine for now but it would be nice to have a functioning optical drive on my windows side if possible.
    The superdrive is internal. I downloaded the bootcamp support files from bootcamp assistant right before installing windows so I assume if a driver exists it would have been installed.
    Do you know where I could get a Windows 8 driver for an internal OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5690H?
    Thank you for your help.

  • How to get Windows Server 2012 trial license key?

    How to get Windows Server 2012 trial license key? I'm trying to install WinServer 2012 Trial on a VMWare Workstation 9. I'm asked for the product key during set up. If I ignore putting in the key (since I don't have one) The install fails stating no valid
    key. I tried this with Oracle's Virtual Box and the same thing happens. I tried using Majic JellyBean to find the key, but that only works on pre-installed OS. A Technet article said to use aaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd etc. in the spaces. That doesn't work either.
    Articles all over the web seem to have other people in the same boat. Please help :)

    Download the trial version from here -
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/evaluate/trial-software.aspx  It does not require a key.  If the software is asking for a key, it is not the trial copy.  Where did you get your copy?

  • How to get window system user?

    Hi,
    How to get window system user use PL/SQL(form develope6i)?

    If you don't use Oracle database then you will have to do one of two things:
    (1) Now I'm back in the office I can check D2KWUTIL. The version I have comes with Forms6.0, so it is somewhat out of date, but it has a method called WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Windows_Username - which works for NT/95 only, although I'm sure a later version will support more recent OS.
    (2) If that's no good then you'll have to use whatever facilities your database offers: I only know Oracle.
    I also repeat my suggestion that you try the Forms forum for additional help. This is the Database forum and so is focused on serverside Oracle PL/SQL. For your needs the Developer Suite forums are better.
    Cheers, APC

  • Does anyone know how to get final cut pro x to stop lagging?

    Does anyone know how to get final cut pro x to stop lagging?

    Two things: 1) MORE RAM.
    2) What hard drive?
    I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but the bare minimum to get decent performance out of FCP X is 8GB.
    If you mac supports more, even better - go to 12GB or 16GB.
    Also, the hard drive? Are you editing on the internal drive? That is also a bottleneck. The system drive should not also be used as a media drive; plus, depending on model, it may not be very fast drive to begin with.
    You should use an external drive with a fast enough connection - USB3 or Thunderbolt, if possible; FW800 as a distant third. USB2 may also work, albeit it is a relatively slow connection.

  • New Lenovo B560 without any OS (software) - how to install Windows XP Pro?

    I just bought a new Lenovo B560 and it has no any software ... When I tried to install Window XP Pro, my new computer did not recognize the CD drive and I tried to go to the BIOS configuration and change the SATA Controller working mode to be compatible and that the boot device menu to be a CD ... But nothing happened ... Does anyone have any idea? What should I do to start with this XP OS installation?

    when you press f12, you should be able to see the devices name. also, post the names.
    to install windows xp from cd, you need to set dvd device as first device.

  • HDD failure, I'd like to know how to get Windows 7 back on it.

    Hello everyone, I've had a HDD issue lately, but before I move on to describe my issue, here are the specs of my notebook:
    HP Pavilion dv6-3264ca
    AMD Triple-Core CPU 2.2 Ghz
    6GB RAM
    128MB ATI Graphic Card
    750GB Toshiba HDD
    Windows 7 64-bit
    The issue:
    Recently I've had a very unfortunate HDD failure. The recovery partition wouldn't even load. I tried booting my notebook on Linux with the HDD still attached, and it wouldn't read. I extracted the HDD and placed it in an HDD-enclosuer and it still wouldn't load on Windows XP or Vista or 7. It would however read in the device manager of Windows and also in the BIOS.
    I needed to extract some high-priority data from there so I managed to retrieve all my data safely through a data recovery service, but now the drive is rendered useless. I was told a low-level format might be able to help it be usable again, and if that were to happen, the recovery partition would then be removed in the process. 
    In addition to that, I would like to install Windows 7 64-bit onto the drive, but the notebook box did not come with an installation CD, which is quite frustrating. Is there any way HP can let me download Windows 7 through some warranty service?
    I have a one-year warranty on my laptop.
    So in closing, I would like to know if I can get Windows 7 back onto my HDD for free, or if I need to go about buying Windows 7 again.
    Any advice from you kind folks?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Here are Two options.
    1.  If you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
    If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD.
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-7-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook 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
    Any additional drivers you may need can be found Here.
    2.  You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - these cost around $30 if you live in the US.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
    If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

    how can i get my macbook pro to print in color?

    Attach a color printer (either directly to your Mac or to your Home Network) set it up correctly, and choose Print from the File menu.
    A more specific answer would require you to supply information about your Mac, your Mac OS X version, your Printer, your attachment method, and the version of the Driver you are using.
