Have product key but no installation CD
location: 7forums.com - date: January 19, 2012
Hello, my Windows 7 Home Edition died on me (am using the Linux I have as a dual boot) and for that as well as other reasons I need to completely re-set up my whole system. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop that came with it preinstalled, but no installation CD. Now I know that that issue has been raised over and over again, but i find it so confusing that I would appreciate having a thread of my own to really clarify... Is or is there not a way to get an installation disc (*without* having to pay for it again) that works with the product key that is on a sticker on the laptop for Windows 7 Home Premium? Something to burn to a DVD, for example.

First I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this. OK.... how do I explain this without getting anyone lost... *scratches head*... I am just getting into virtualization. So, I thought it would be nice to have Windows XP on a vm (virtual machine). So my solution would have been to convert a physical drive into VirtualBox or just install from the installation CD. And this is where I ran into a problem for each of my solutions: 1) I cannot figure out how to convert the drive into VirtualBox (track progress HERE <this is just a link to another post I made in the virtualization ). I've been able to convert it into a VMWare file type, but that's about it. 2) I have two Windows XP installation CD's, one is Home and the other is P

This is my mom's computer.  She is 90 and does not want to learn a new OS.  I want to reinstall XP on a hard drive that has 300GB and is already installed as drive E.  Her original hard drive is 40 GB and 35 are in use.  I have the original Windows product key but not the windows CD.  the retailer who built and sold this pc to her is out of business.  What is the best way to accomplish this?

How can I find Product Key since my product key rubbed off?
location: microsoft.com - date: May 23, 2011
The Product Key on the bottom of my laptop has rubbed off I and I didn't realize this before reformatting. Acer won't give it to me unless I renew my warranty and I used jelly bean but that Key won't work either. Can Microsoft give me one? Or is there another way to obtain it without shelling out lots of cash?
