Need to reinstall Windows 7 but cannot

So about 2 years ago the hard drive randomly blew on my Aspire 5252 and since it was out of warranty at the time I didn't progress with repairing it or even acknowledge the fact it didn't come with any recovery disks. TIme has passed and I need to get it up and running again so I bought a new hard drive and went to the Windows Software Recovery page only to find out Windows 7 can't be downloaded as lo and behold- It's a preinstalled version of Windows and I have to contact Acer for 'software recovery options'! I've gone everywhere online and found quite literally nothing in regards to this issue aside from the fact I'm not alone with this issue and Microsoft isn't providing the least bit of help to work with everyone. I won't purchase new recovery disks as I refuse to buy something that initially wasn't provided with my system (I didn't know at the time they should have been included) and to be honest, its just straight up rediculous how complicated this is... I don't know where to or even how to progress as I'm beyond frustrated at a seemingly simple task. ...Help?

Acer  does not ship recovery disks with any computer. Instead, the harddrive on the computer has a recovery partition that can be used to execute recovery or to create recovery disks. since it was not created earlier, the only option for you would be to purchase the recovery disc.  If you have a unit from US or Canada, you may check the avaliablity and purchase the recovery disc from Acer store :  Acer Store  Click the Kudos to say “Thanks” for helping! select "Accept Solution" if your issue is resovled.

  • Need to reinstall windows 8.1, need my product key

    I need to reinstall Windows 8.1
    I don't have my purchase confirmation emal anymore, i tried to redownload windows 8 or 8.1 to create a bootable Flash Drive to install from, but my current product key didn't let me!
    So i figured that i need the Windows 8 product key from which i upgraded to 8.1 and got a new key, to redownload Windows 8 and then upgrade to Windows 8.1!
    The problem is i have no clue of where to find my genuine Windows 8 key that I have purchased and downloaded from the web..

    Please see:
    Downloads, product keys, and subscription
    Carey Frisch
    That is the problem, i do not have anything there but red text saying "You haven‘t purchased any downloads yet."
    Yet, i can find and see my purchase of Windows 8 with my Bank in the transaction section.
    I have even requested a physical CD/DVD which i have gotten, a blue paper flip-case with 32bit in on side and a 64bit in the other.
    What am i to do now ???

  • My iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this,  I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first.

    my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this,  I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.

    Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
    1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
    2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup

  • I ordered Adobe XI pro last year and need to reinstall it.  I cannot find my serial number. I downloaded the software online.  Can you look up my order. I ordered it last year around this time.

    Once you get your S/N and download the software, back them up to a CD or backup HD. Not doing that is like purchasing a CD, installing software, and tossing the CD in the trash.

  • Need to reinstall Windows

    I have a computer for a customer, and I need to reinstall Windows. They had a failing hard drive so I put a new hard drive in. They don't have any recovery disks and the recovery partition is corrupted. How do I go about getting Windows reinstalled.

    if he/she has valid warranty, ask lenovo to change the hdd for free. they'll also install operation system, too.
    even if you have recovery disks, the hard disk has the same volume size to use recovery disks via one key recover.
    so, either or you need to contact lenovo support, ship it back.
