Restoring a genuine window efficiently
Restoring a genuine window efficiently
Hello, welcome. I understand you're feeling confused about your laptop situation. The device you have is an older Acer Extensa 5635z, and it originally came with Windows 7 Home edition. Now it's running Windows 8, which is a change from the original setup. Since the license was tied to the original Windows version, you might be able to recover it by contacting the original owner or checking with the retailer who sold it. Unfortunately, online searches haven't provided clear guidance, so reaching out directly for assistance would be the best next step. Let me know if you have more details!
The device has a sticker containing a product key. You can start Windows 7 from a DVD or USB using that key for installation. Does that match your understanding?
Without the essential component, progress seems limited. Would switching to Windows 10 be preferable over version 8.1?
