Need to reinstall Windows, have a key but no DVD

Hello!I have my notebook (Extensa 2510 series) for a few months now, but I need to reinstall it!
I received no installation medium like a DVD, with the laptop.As I have a valid Windows Serial Key (came with the device), I wanted to use Microsofts Setup Box (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only), but the tool states that my key cant be used. How do I get a installation medium so I can reinstall and use my notebook again?

Acer recovery media
if you are in the US you can buy it:

if you are outside the US, you must call/email your regional Acer support service:
http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/ or try this but i think your key will not work too:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

  • 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 ???

    If you registered CS4 then you might be able to find the serial number for it in your Adobe account online.  If not, you still might be able to get someone in chat to assist you with getting it.

  • 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.

    The CC has been activated twice In the months of June & July this year. To install & activate it for third time.
    You need to deactivate it from PC,
    When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
    Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
    Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
    It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
    You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

  • Need to reinstall windows but don't have any CD - Satellite Pro L20

    Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home onto my Satellite Pro L20, but don't have any of the software my laptop came with (read lost the disks). I have a valid XP home key (as its stuck on the bottom of my laptop) but no disc so I tired using a copy of a Windows XP home cd, which didn't work, but did let me get as far as formatting the hard drive.
    So right now I'm using Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key but no software to reinstall.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Christopher

    Are you kidding now?
    Do you understand English or what?
    I will try to be clear enough and constructive too in hope you will understand your situation.
    Some facts for you:
    - Recovery image *CANNOT* be downloaded
    - Following link http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com >Support & Downloads you can find all drivers, tools and utilities for your notebook model
    So back to your situation:
    For clean OS installation you have *_two_* options only:
    - if possible order new copy by Toshiba authorized service provider in your country *do you have more questions about that?*
    - you can install operating system using Microsoft installations CD *if you don't have it, it is your problem*
    Can you please tell me if all this is clear now?
    If you have more questions please ask.

  • Need Adobe Acrobat X Suite Download.  I have the key but lost the disks.

    I have a new computer and I'm trying to move Adobe Acrobat X from my old computer.  Looked everywhere but unable to find the disks, so I need to find an Adobe Acrobat X Suite Download.  I have the key.
    UPDATE: Found the disks but now need to know the best way to make a back-up copy since these disks are rare.

    This is a regular question and easily found on the forum. In any case, try http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html.

  • Need help reinstalling Windows 7 home premium on HP G62-435DX

    My internal hard disk crashed and I followed advice from this forum to use Ubuntu (using live disc from CD ROM drive) to recover data and save to external hard drive. Next, I replaced the internal hard drive with a 500GB internal hard drive. I figured out how to partition the new internal hard drive and get Ubuntu to acknowledge it.
    Now, I'm trying to figure out how to reinstall my Windows 7 Home Premium operating system so I can try to get back to normal. However, I cannot figure out how to download Windows 7 to my hard drive using my product key that came with my machine when I bought it. All the download options appear to require you to buy/request Windows 7 recovery discs to run and install on the machine (since I didn't create these prior to my hard disk failing).
    Is this really the only way I can use my product key to reinstall Windows 7 to my machine? Also, I cannot figure out how to download the OS from Windows 7 ISO downloads (via Digital River) to my internal hard drive - seems I can only do this by downloading and burning to CDs (which I don't believe I have the right kind - but obviously am happy to buy if it's the best/fastest option). It seems I have very limited options since I had to remove my internal hard drive, which then eliminated Windows 7 from my machine.
    Based on these details - I ultimately want to determine the fastest, most efficient way to get Windows 7 OS back on my machine. I'd prefer to download it, but am hamstrung by having to run Ubuntu from a Live CD. Thanks for your help!

    Here are the specs for your HP G62-435DX Notebook Computer. Here is the HP Software and Driver Downloads page if you wish to order the HP Recovery Discs and have them mailed to you. If you wish to download Windows 7 and use the Windows product key on the bottom of your computer, please see How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc for instructions on downloading, creating the installation media (DVD or USB), and installing Windows. You will need a funtional computer with DVD burning software capable of burning the ISO to disc.

  • I need to reinstall CS2, downloaded from Adobe but when run get serial nr missing, even if I use the one Adobe is providing

    Lost my laptop, and now I need to reinstall CS2, in order to install CS3. I downloaded CS2 from Adobe site but when I run the program I get an error message: Your Adobe Photoshop user name, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue. I was using the serial nr that Adobe is providing on the CS2 download page.
    Any help much appreaciated

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • Need to reinstall Windows 7 on H320 series PC!

    I have a series H320 PC currently running with Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) and which seems to have a corrupt or missing file (CBS Manifest) needed to install Windows Updates.  There are currently three updates that I have which, so far, have defied all attempts that I have made to install them.  The Windows error message that I receive is 80070490 and I have tried everything listed with that error message except to re-install  Windows 7.  I do have a set of four recovery discs from Lenovo for the H320; however, starting with disc #1, I am told that the only thing to do is to completely reformat my system.  This I do not want to do unless absolutely necessary.  Disc #2 named "Operating System Recovery Disc" is shown as being Windows 7 Home Premium ; however, trying to reinstall from that disc without beginning with disc #1 does not seem to work for me.  I might add, by the way, that I did NOT receive  any instructions as regards to various options in using the four Recovery Discs that I have and if there is a way to use one or all of them WITHOUT REFORMATING, I would appreciate further usable instructions.  Thank you for any and all hopeful responses to my dilema.  

    Hi elbojon,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community Forums.  I am sorry to see you are having difficulties with your system as of this time.
    I am not sure what steps you have tried out but you may want to try these steps out.
    You may want to try out running the System update Readiness Tool.  Steps are outlined on the link provided. However, if this does not work then a reinstallation of the operating system may be needed. 
    The set of four recovery discs that you have are used to reinstall the system back to factory settings.  For the steps regarding using the Recovery CD you just simply have to boot the system up using the first disc and then agree that you will be restoring system back to factory settings then it will prompt you to insert the next discs then follow the prompts till the installation is finished.  These set of 4 recovery discs however does not provide you with any option to repair your windows installation.
    If the System Update Readiness tool does not resolve the problem, the next best option would be to back up your files and reinstall the operating system via the One Key Recovery.  One Key Recovery can be accessed by hitting F2 after powering the system up from shutdown.  This option allows you to return the system to factory settings however this means data loss.
    Hope the readiness tool helps resolve your issue.
    Don
