Windows 8.1 got corrupted and had to restore from HP recovery disk

My computer running 8.1 started cycling between IE 11 and the Windows 8.1 home screen.  It would not stop so I had to initiate a recovery from my built in HP recovery drive.  When I did this it wiped out my OFFICE 2010 installation.  How do
I re-install?  Doesn't Microsoft have the information that OFFICE 2010 was registered to my ACCOUNT?  I am on travel and don't have access to the CD or the Access key.
Someone please help!

Hi,
If you cannot acess to the CD, you can get an Office 2010 installation package from below site, however, you have to enter your 25-character Product Key to download Office program:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/buy/netbook-FX101850729.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA101828496
The issue is how to get your product key.
If you have ever purchased, downloaded, and installed Office 2010 online, the key was associated with a Microsoft account. You may be able to recover the Office product key in the confirmation email you received when you purchased the product online.
Or you can just contact Microsoft support (https://support.microsoft.com/gp/contact_microsoft_customer_serv?&fr=1) as long as you have a valid proof of purchase.
otherwise, there is very little they can do.
You can refer to this article for more details:

  • SW failures after replacing T510 HDD and re-installing software from Lenovo Recovery Disks

    Please help...
    I have replaced the 320GB SATA drive in my T510 after the original one started to fail. But the resinstalled software (taken from the recovery partition on the old drive) hs problems.
    I used the Lenovo Recovery Partition on the old drive to create a bootable Flash Drive in order to re-install to the new drive. It initially appeared that the recovery drive successfully reinstated Windows 7 and associated programs on the brand new (also Seagate 320GB SATA drive).
    All was good, I thought - Until I tried Windows Update
    Other things are not working well either - e.g. YouTube clips are not playing, IE is working very slowly to name but two.
    Windows update fails with the message "Windows Update Cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
    I have discovered on MS web site that there are fixes for this but the fixes I have tried do not work.
    The fixes all seem to look for and check that BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) and Windows Update Srervices are running. I have checked and both services ARE runing but still I get the failure message.
    When running the Microsoft Fix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2730071
    further errors are discovered stating that "troubleshooting was unable to fix all of the issues found.
    "Problems installing recent updates - not fixed"
    I have serached high and low and the only stuff I can find to fix windows update does not work.
    If the replacement HDD was brand new.
    Could it be that a BIOS update that took place at some point during the last year or two plus the recovery partition are somehow incompatible.
    Could it be that the recovery partition has created an unusable version?
    Advice on where to go next will be well received..
    Solved!

    Hello and welcome,
    One of the things that can cause this is migrating to an advanced format hard drive (one with 4kb sectors).  For some reason this confuses Windows Update - and some other things.
    This KB should help - if this is indeed the problem: Windows Update Fails After Installing New Hard Drive

    My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows.  The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable.  The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop.  Can you point me to the best way to do this?  - Thanks

    If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

    My windows got corrupt and i lost my itunes with it,now i need to save all my apps and music on my ipad.......please help me i dont have back up of apps or music can i save it.....

    Hey there Shomail,
    It sounds like you are wanting to copy your content from your iPad to your computer. You can trasnfer your iTunes purchases from the device to the computer with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your device to a computer, follow these steps:
    Connect your device to the computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:
    Click the Transfer Purchases button.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content will be replaced with whatever existing content is in the current iTunes library your device is connected to. If there is no content in the iTunes library, nothing will be synced to your device, and your device will be empty.
    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    My ITunes got corrupted and I kept getting a message when updating iTunes64msi missing so I uninstalled all files and I thought I removed all registry values but  when reinstalling I get an older version is installed and cannot be removed. I need a solution.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1349 my laptop got corrupted and recovered but i am not able to connect my iphone to my laptop

    my laptop got corrupted and recovered but i am not able to connect my iphone to my laptop. Pls help me to recovery my iphone.

    I had the same problem with my wife's iPhone 4, go to settings, network an see if 3G is activated in your phone, also check if data is activated, if this don't work, than the problem is not in the phone but with the carrier.
    Your phone may show the 3G or the Edge network icon next to the signal bar, but 3G and Edge may not be really activated for your phone in your carrier network, even if you have a data plan, sometimes their activation department kind of forget to activate the full service in their network, it already happen to us several times.
    Call your carrier and confirm if they really activated the 3G or Edge data in your phone in their network according to your data plan . They may need your phone's EMEI and ICCID numbers, you will find it at settings, info
    Hope that helps

  • How do i retrieve file vault protected files from an external hard disk that used to be my mbp's hard drive? the hard disk got corrupted and will no longer boot. I put it in an enclosure and attempted to copy my files but failed because of FV encryption.

    This external hard disk used to serve as the main drive of my mbp. It got corrupted and the OSX would no longer load. I upgraded to a 500gb hd and used the old hd as an external drive. I tried to copy my files but i could not access them because of the filevault encryption. 110gb of hd space appears as used which means that my files are still in the drive. Is there a way to retrieve these files? thanks

    According to your post, you're using Leopard, so FileVault only encrypts your user folder (unlike Lion). On the mounted external drive, in your user folder, you should see a file called username.sparsebundle, with username being your user name. Double-click that file to open it and it should prompt you for a password. Type in your password and the file will mount as a volume in Finder. You should be able to copy all of your files over.

  • HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

    Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

    Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
    If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
    Power on the computer and insert the DVD immediately.
    Hold down the 'C' key to boot from the Snow Leopard DVD.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
    After selecting the appropriate language, if necessary, select Utilities, and Disk Utility.
    You'll likely need to partition and format the new drive before it's recognized.

  • I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now.

    I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now. I uninstalled it, but now I can't re-install photoshop...installer just gives me the option to uninstall.
    This is my job, so very important .
    Thanks
    Johnny

    Download the CS6 installer from this link it should install on any machine the meets the specs. Even without a serial it should install as a trial version. If CS6 was activated on your system your CS6 credentials should still be there and when you install it should be activated. Then use CS6 menu Help>Updates to install the updated,  CS6 installs need to be updated.

    No, they probably got lost out there somewhere. They're gone.

  • I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "manage local device storage usage." How?

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "Cannot Download.  There is not enough available local storage to download these items.  You can manage your local device storage usage in Settings."
    How can this be the case when I haven't changed any apps from before updrading to iOS6, and I don't have any music yet on the phone?  Why is it telling me there is not enough local space?

    Hi RileyAvaCadenRiver,
    If you recently updated your iPhone to iOS7, you will need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1 or newer for it to correctly recognize the iPhone. You may find the following link helpful:

  • TS3988 My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer.  For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it.  I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud.  How do I change the Apple ID (not the pas

    My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer.  For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it.  I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud.  How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
