lost recovery media and product key

enkaydi · ‎05-09-2021

i have a very old pavilion g4 1303au laptop. it had windows 7 home premium originally.

the product key sticker on the back panel is damaged and not legible so can not download the windows image from Microsoft. also i have lost my recovery dvd.

is there any way to get my pc recovered to it's original state as it was when new.

Try to see if you can buy an activation key
Maybe harder to find now for w7
but you just need the activation number, you have to find an original windows then, for the installation
If not, try installing windows 10, have nothing to lose?
