Windows 7 & Product Key

I have a question. Currently, I'm using Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit) on my Dell Inspiron M5040 8GB RAM, but I am thinking about upgrading my hard drive. Currently, it's 500GB, but I want a 1TB hard drive. I spoke to a Microsoft tech about this matter, and he told me that because my machine came with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium in it, that if I were to upgrade my hard drive, that I would need an OEM Windows 7 Home Premium disc, so that I would be able to use my current product key. Because if it was not an OEM disc, that my product key would not work. So my question is that really true that I in fact need an OEM Windows 7 disc because my computer came with Windows 7 pre-installed, or would a recovery disc (I've seen them on eBay) do the job and install with my Product Key? I would really appreciate anyone's help with my matter.

Can't boot from CD/DVD

So, I have trouble with installing Windows on my PC.
First of all, I already have windows installed and want to partition and clean my harddrive and install windows fresh.
I have been trying to put the Boot sequence of the DVD reader on 1.
Still not working, also tried to put the harddrive off and my UEFI.
It will get me to the CD/DVD insert screen but if i press any key, it still doesn't detect the CD. I tried doing install with no partition and just being left with the Windows.old folder as a plan to delete that folder.
Still no result, as i tried installing it trough the OS everything seemed fine but it gets stuck around 65% of copying the files and gives me the following ERROR CODE: 0x80070017.
Is it the CD/DVD because it still detects and works halfway trough when using it on my Windows PC.
But booting up my CD doesnt..

KB915597(Definition 1.213.1796.0) fails to install

I'm running WIN7 PRO and this security update failed to install.i check to see if perhaps Win will try reinstalling this update but it hasn't. Can anyone suggest why it isn't and how i can successfully install it.

here are details>>>

Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.213.1796.0)

Installation date: ‎1/‎5/‎2016 9:33 AM

Installation status: Failed

Error details: Code 800706BE

only that update,in fact a security Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.213.2081.0)
was just installed successfully. i am running MCafee AV, no other software was installed and somehave suggested that changes have or were made either prior to or after this unsuccessful update attempt. it just didn't install

What is this update for anyway? Some have advised that i should disable my a/v when i've never had to do this for any of this updates before? That just doesn't make sense to me.I don't want to start reconfiguring my computer because of this updat when 99% of the time i have never experienced any problems ever.Usually on failed update,the next day or so i get a notice that WIN update tries to reinstall tat failed update,or i go to Win Update and try installing any new updates and it detects that one or more failed ones need to be reinstalled.This did not happen this time. Is it possible to manually install this

KB915597(Definition 1.213.1796.0)?

i also just ran Win Troubleshooter and it found problem with this error code>>

error 0x8024402C(2016-01-08-T-11_32_42A
Once i disable my A/V how do i go about reinstalling

KB915597(Definition 1.213.1796.0) how do i go about doing that? What are the steps? Where do i find this update to install it manually? Or once the A/V is disabled,and i go to Win Updates,will Win Updates KB915597(Definition 1.213.1796.0)automatically know that this install wasn't done?Will it then try to reinstall the update?

disabled my A/V and went to Win Updates and nothing happened,WIN updates did not detect any new updates,nor KB915597(Definition 1.213.1796.0)

Win Updatealso finished installing 12 new updates yesterday; KB915597(1.2132594.0) plus KB3121212,KB3123479,KB3124001;KB2952664;KB3121918; KB3124275; kb3124000;KB3110329; kb3109560; KB3121461;KB890830; KB3108664

All of these installed after i disabled my MCAfee A/V and tried to see if the missing culprit,

KB915597(Definition 1.213.1796.0) would install,it did not; so obviously disabling my A/V didn't help relative to this one,it still remains uninstalled. My question is how could 12 updates that just installed successfully and yet my A/V was enabled and not disabled? I think the problem resides with MS with respect to this update not being able to install.

Hi.
I read the sticky on Factory Reset which is very interesting.
As I have had a lot of problems with my old Vista machine lately I was
wondering about Factory Reset or Windows Reinstall.
I have the Recovery Disc that came with the machine 8 years ago.
As a novice I would very much appreciate member views on this topic.
Thanks.

Every once in a while (like today, for example), I boot up Windows 7 and all the icons on my desktop get moved around--some get moved from the left side of the screen to the right side. I have no idea what causes this. How can I prevent it from happening in the future?

Laptop freezing up randomly....

Hi guys, I've reverted back from Windown 10 to Windows 7 because basically I couldn't stand Win 10 and I've encountered a problem. Basically my laptop runs and then totally randomly the screen goes black although the machine is still running....but is totally unresponsive. This happens at random times, it could be just after logging in or 20 mins or so later.

Powering off is the only option I have...

It's a Dell machine, win 7. Intel i5 processor, 8gb ram.
The machine runs fine in safe mode.

I've tried a complete fresh re-install and the same issue persists.
Any ideas guys?

This error message appears everytime i log back in:

Vaio Boot Failure

My VAIO VPCY115FG does not launch Windows 7 Home Edition. On startup, the message is "Windows is loading files" followed by the "Recovery Tools are being launched" screen at which point it hangs.

It fails to recognise a Windows 7 64-bit Repair Disc loaded in an external Sony DRX-S7OU-W HDD. Pressing F10 continuously at power-up loads an Edit Boot options screen with a "Path:\windows\system32\boot\winload.exe" message followed by [ /MININT RDIMAGEOFFSET=8192 RDIMAGELENGTH=3161088 RDPATH=multi(0)disk(O)rdisk(0)partition(1)\sources\boot.wim ] Pressing Enter goes to the "Recovery Tools are being launched" screen again.

I do not have an updated backup file set and have files I don't want to lose, otherwise I would attempt to recover the system.

Can anyone suggest some options to solve the problem?
