Satellite L750-1WW - OEM Windows 7 home premium reinstall

Hello,
a few days ago I bought an used (about 3 years old) Toshiba Satellite L750-1WW notebook.
The only matter with it is, that it has Windows 7 Professional, and of course corrupted, but the original OS was Home Premium. This laptop will be my mother's, and I don't want (and she also) to get messages every startup: "This copy of Windows is not genuine" and other stuff.
Another thing: there is no recovery partition! I couldn't make a simple system recovery...
However there's a Product key for Win7 HP 64bit on the bottom of the PC, it does not work on any kind of Windows 7 (Home Premium -Ultimate - Professinal, 32-64 bit), I have tried every possibilities.
I asked Microsoft Community to give me help about reinstalling the original operating system.
They told me to tell my problem to Toshiba, because only the manufacturer can reactivate the system, or reinstall the original OS.
So now, I ask You for some help.
Greetings,
Csaba

I don't know where you have bought this notebook but I know, for instance, that many people who sold notebooks on the eBay write in description that notebook has preinstalled other Windows version but notebook has valid product key that can be used for any Windows activation.
Fact is that this information is wrong.
Every Toshiba notebook offered with preinstalled OS has Microsoft sticker at the bottom side but product key on it belongs to original version delivered with the notebook. With other words: this product key s useless.
If I understand you right you have non-activated OS version preinstalled on this machine but also you don't have original recovery installation disc.
Now you have two options:
1/ To order original recovery disc (link posted by Tonny)
2/ To install own OS version using Microsoft installation disc and pay for valid licence.
In my opinion option to buy recovery disc is best for you. Using this disc in 2 hours you will have perfectly installed OS that will be activated and you will not have any problems anymore.
After clean OS installation all you must do is to optimize it and configure for usage. Thats all.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Would Satellite U300-11V run Vista Home Premium 64?

    Dear all,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite U300-11V
    The laptop came with Vista Home Premium (32) and I would like to upgrade to the 64-bit version and I am wondering whether my hardware is actually compatible with it.
    I tried the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor but that had nothing to do with 32 vs 64.....
    You can find full specs of my laptop at:
    http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=132428&DISC_ MODEL=1&service=UK&tab=2#2
    Any suggestion would be deeply appreciated
    Kind regards
    R

    Of course its compatible with the Vista 64bit OS.
    The Satellite U300-11V belongs to the PSU30E series.
    I checked the Toshiba European driver page if a 64bit Vista drivers are available but unfortunately, they are not released.
    However, you would be able to install the Vista 64bit on your notebook but you will have to collect the single 64bit Vista drivers from other notebook series.
    Many notebooks series are equipped with the same devices and sometimes you can use the same drivers on different notebooks.

  • S205 w/ Windows Home Premium not recognizing Integrated WebCam - Windows 7 Drivers?

    I just got an awesome deal on an S205 netbook. Everything is great except that I cannot get the WebCam to work. This is a deal breaker. If I can't figure it out I'll be returning it.
    So far I have tried various things. When I first started this I couldn't figure things out. There was no camera in the Device Manager and nothing obvious on the system (hardware, software) about a camera, except that I can see it, physically on the netbook and know it came with a WebCam. How to use it? Nada. So I went to the Lenovo site & installed a driver and then Skype. The microphone works in Skype, but no picture. Totally black. However, it automatically brings up Lenovo YouCam when you test the video in Skype. So that helped as this software was not recognizing a camera either, so I knew it wasn't just Skype.
    Then I figured out that I needed to hit Fn+Esc to enable the webcam. I thought that was the ticket. However, as soon as I did that I got a message that the USB device was not recognized. I uninstalled the driver and went back to reinstall it to see if that might help, however at this time I realized that the driver's on Lenovo's site for the s205 are for XP not Windows 7. Seriously? Turns out there are two different sites. http://support.lenovo.com and http://consumersupport.lenovo.com The later has the Windows 7 version, the first site lists Xp drivers ... Installed the W7 Driver again, but still not working or recognizing the camera ... Anyway, I am not a techie, but I am pretty decent at figuring stuff out or Googling and researching this stuff online. Or following your directions/suggestions. From my searching so far no one seems to have this exact issue. Most it is either not having software to use the camera or not having it enabled and neither of these are my issue. Any ideas for what my next step should be? Details on my system below. Thanks!
    Lenonvo ideaPad - 11.6" 1366x768 LED; AMD Dual-Core E-350 1.6GHz; 4GB RAM; 500GB HDD; 802.11n; Windows 7 Home Premium; ATI Radeon HD6310M graphics; webcam; 6-cell battery
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've had some webcam issues, too.
    Sadly, the webcam device ID is not listed in the driver available for download at the support page.
    Thus, installing this driver is pointless.
    Nevertheless, you can force the driver installation and it will work as it should.
    Please have a look at the device manager.
    Double-click the unknown device, go to Details and select the Hardware ID property.
    It should be USB\VID_5986&PID_0292&REV_1403&MI_00
    (In case you got a different VendorID/ProductID, google them. You should quickly find something. Be sure this device is the webcam and not some other device. Otherwise don't continue.)
    Now unpack the driver setup file with 7-zip or WinRaR.
    Back to the Device Manager -> Double-click the device, select the Driver tab, click Update Driver and browse for the extracted folder. You will need the Bison subfolder.
    Good luck.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Satellite L755 freezes on Windows home page

    My Satellite L755 sometimes freezes at start up. It gets to windows home page then nothing works. I click start and nothing happens. No icons work. I have to hold down the off button to turn off and then re-start. I then have no problem. This is happening more often.
    I have updated BIOS as per Toshiba advise.

    Which OS do you use?
    Do you use original OS that you got with your notebook?
    On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there. Your OS configuration is not known to us and we dont know which applications start with OS at start-up.
    If the problem happen again and again maybe you should install OS again using original Toshiba recovery image and start to use notebook with "factory settings" again.

  • 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.

  • Several Unknown Devices after Windows 7 Home Premium Reinstall

    After losing all my data trying to encrypt my hard drive I reinstalled windows from my hard drive using HP's settings in the boot menu and got some weird results. One is that my C drive now only only has 65 gb of space, so I created a new partition with the remaining 215 gb on my hard drive. Additionally, my screen resolution has only 2 options, leaving my desktop looking strange. The worst of these problems is that several of my hardware items are showing up as unknown in addition to my wireless internet not working. Would it be better for me to reinstall again or try and find the drivers?
