Anyways, I still encourage you to buy a key, since piracy is illegal and companies also deserve their money! ;) | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 17:07 | comment | added | lolgab123 | Ok, so if I install the brand new .iso Wondows 7, and then reinstall my Windows 7 version, do you think the problem will still fixed? Because I really don't want to buy a Windows 7 key (do we can still buy it anyway?) | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 17:05 | comment | added | Hewbot | It usually doesn't, that's the odd thing here. But it's very probable that a brand new Windows 7 installation (from an ISO), fixes it. | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 17:03 | comment | added | lolgab123 | Damn it. But why does the USB ports need drivers? Like it's just an infinite loop! And my 3 other computer's (2 manufactured, 1 custom) usb ports worked perfectly without any drivers when I installed my Windows 7 version of them! | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 17:00 | comment | added | Hewbot | AFAIK, it will be like a full Windows copy, but with the water mark in the desktop, and the constant reminders telling you to activate it. After a few days (about a month or so) it could be a bit more "aggressive" (black background, some reduced functions...). | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 16:57 | comment | added | lolgab123 | What if I activates Windows later? Does it will block any programs until I activates it? Do there will be a trial time? | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 16:55 | comment | added | Hewbot | No, sadly you can't do that. During the installation you don't need to provide a key (you can ommit that step, and activate Windows later). I can't suggest you to pirate a Windows copy, but I'm sure you'll be able to handle that once you're inside a working Windows 7. | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 16:54 | comment | added | lolgab123 | Definitly seems interesting, but there's a problem: This installation needs a Windows key, right? And I don't have one... Can I do something to use the Windows 8.1 key that came with the laptop (which I haven't wrote anywhere before reinstalling) and use it for a guenuine version of Windows 7? | |
