Win Pro 64x trial and product key

[Guest Juan]

Hello all. I need to reinstall Win Pro 64bit on this computer; I have the

Product Key but not the disk itself. I have downloaded the trial from MS; as

I start to install it, it warns me it is a trial and it will work only

temporarily. Two questions:

First: if I use the my key, not the trial one, will it work as a

fullversion,not as a trial one?

Second: I want to repair my windows installation, but it does not offer me

such an option. I want to keep my programs and not have to reinstall them

all. Does anybody have any suggestion as to how to proceed?

Thanks to all inadvance,

[Guest Theo]

An OEM key will not work with the downloaded Trial version.

If you don't have your installation CD, there is no way I

know of to re-install your fully functional system. You

will need an OEM installation CD.

Hi Juan

Try contacting Microsoft about your problem,maybe they can supply you with a

cd since you have the key.

Thanks to both for your help. I will try to contact MS but I do not think

they will just ship/download a copy of the program. I hope so but I doubt it.

I will try it though. Again thanks.

 

Anybody else has another idea?

Do you know someone with an XP Pro x64 cd? Your product key will work with

it or a copy.
