Hi,
Please don't disclose any product key information in here. This is public and open place to discuss Windows 7 problem. It's dangerous for any personal information.
Also, since the Windows is brought with OEM computer, maybe you could try to contact the manufacturer for help.

How do I re install windows home premium OA?

I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive. I have the product key that is on my computer. I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top.
When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 . Can you give help me with the proper link? thank you

Please provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc.

Microsoft Vista Home Premium Product Key worn off

The product key is worn off the sticker on the bottom of my Compaq Presario CQ60 215DX. I just replaced my hard drive as it crashed. My 3 Recovery Disks do not work (I created them as soon as I bought the laptop). I need to know how to obtain the Vista Home Premium Product Key that I have already paid for as part of my purchase of the computer. HP, based on my serial number, shouldn't you have this information and be able to provide it readily?

Truth be told, no one on the forums here will be able to tell you what your product key is.
If you were able to boot into the Windows that was installed on the old hard drive, there are some utilities out there to retrieve it. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case since the hard drive was replaced and I take it you could not longer boot into Windows on that old drive either.
The best option would be to contact HP support to see if they might have the recovery disks from the factory still available. I suggest this as the hard drive image on those disks will have the product key already activated and ready to go. Once that is backup and going from the recovery disks, then you can use a program to retrieve the product key.
As of this time, the recovery disks can be ordered here. However, I recommend calling HP since the recovery disks you made are not working as they may have some options not available on the site.
The factory recovery disks should get you going again with the original software with an activated Windows key.

Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan. It started giving problems after few weeks of use. Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk. Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues. Any idea about this issue and how to fix it? My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)? Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
Many thanks for your valueable advice.
Regards,
KK

Hi,
Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.

Are all Lenovo laptops shipped with the same Windows 7 Home Premium Product Key?

We've puchased a number of Lenovo Gxxx laptops and record the Windows 7 Product key, using Magical Jellybean or another tool, for a variey of reasons, including the fact that they clickly wear off the bottom of the laptop. I've noticed that the laptops all report the same OEM Key, which doesn't match the sticker on the bottom of the laptop. I've never encountered this with other laptops; is something wrong here?

If they all use Lenovo's Windows 7 Home Premium, just create a restore DVD or call them for one and you can use that 1 DVD to reinstall any of them. Due to the Key hidden in you bios/mobo when you install with Lenovo's CD you will not have to enter in a Key (as it see yours already) I know for a fact cause it did it for me. I did not have to enter a Key. If you are to use the CD for a none Lenovo PC it will ask you for a Key (as it did when I installed it in VirtualBox) And like I stated before it's a VL that is pre-installed with new systems.

Laserjet 4240n driver does not work with windows home premium 64 bit

I recently was given a HP laserjet 4240n by my employer to use in a remote office. I am using a Windows version 7 home premium 64 bit laptop. I have tried the HP install wizard - no support for this printer. I have tried downloading the "correct" driver - but that doesn't work either.
I assume that there is something wrong but I have spent hours and still haven't been able to figutre out what is wrong and how to fix it!
HELP!
Thanks,
Steve

Hello Steve04104,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps!

Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium

I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?

Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part.

Repeatedly asked to install Flash 11 on IE 9 Windows Home Premium 64 bit

From my admin account - I successfully install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11. Everything works fine (in that same admin account) until a system reboot. Then I receive messages from websites stating that they want me to install Adobe Flash. I do so and all is well until the reboot.
I have followed all the instructions on the Adobe main troubleshooting pages from uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting through the deletion of folders at run %appdat%\Adobe - Flash Folder and %\Macromedia and then uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling etc.
Again, I receive a successful installation message and everything works properly until the reboot. Looks like a lot of users have had this problem, but I haven't found a clean answer. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I followed one suggestion and downloaded and ran Secunia PSI and found no older version of Flash Player installed. I do also have Adobe CS 5 Suite installed. I also started receiving messages from HP Solution Software that it would not operate until the latest version of Adobe Flash is installed. I uninstalled the HP software pending resolution. Uninstalls and reinstalls of Flash were not successful after removing the HP software either.

Hello, I too have experienced the repeating of installing Flash Player after performing a successful install. The PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, and Flash Player 11.4.402.265. The installation of the latest FP indicates a successfull install. Then when going to any site that uses FP, for example, weather.com, yahoo news, youtube, a message window indicates the latest FP needs to be installed.
I've went through the steps in thread 4613512 (FP uninstaller), 928315 (clean install), 987370 (permissions errors), the steps in this thread including deleting the %Appdata%\Macromedia folders prior to the install, removed references to Adobe 7 in the Windows registry (running Adobe 10.1.4). Also checked that Windows Media Player was not installed. It is not. All of the functions in the steps within these threads seemed to complete successfully. No errors or other problems were indicated. Would you have any suggestions on something else to try? Thank you.

This being an OEM copy you cannot move this to another server. You can only do that with Volume Licensing of server.

I changed windows 7 ultimate changed to windows home premium

Ok, I want to thank the two people who tried to help me last time. I found out I had to install a new windows. So I went and found my friend could do it but me having windows ultimate he only hand windows 7 home premium... And well now that it works I have
a new problem... Along with the ultimate status gotten rid of, I now don't have the windows office. So like word, PowerPoint and excell.
My question is is there away for me to get it back without a fee or will I just have to go and buy the office pack stuff to replace it?

To begin with, you need to purchase Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office, then install them. Microsoft doesn't allow free installation of Windows/Office. If your PC was shipped with Windows, contact the manufacturer and request for a Windows installation
disk. They may charge based on the warranty status and the company policy.
