i tried to enter that key the last time and it did not like it. anyway, it came up to the enter my password, and now it doing some more updates. i can't get the key now as i will have to remove the power and ethernet and it told me to not disrupt the power or the internet. yes, it has a good working battery so the power may not bother it but the internet may.
it just came up and the build is 1909 18363.836 the windows enterprise operating system and its interface are protected bla bla bla.
product key came up as 00328-90000-00000 aaoem a digital key. so now i will see if it runs any better. the last time i may have got a corrupted file and that messed it up.
so now i have all the programs. and the last time i did this i did not get back any programs. and my pictures will not load yet so all this work and it is still the same. so I'm off the get another hard drive and deal with installing it. at that time i may come back for some help on that. but i will start a new thread. so this did no good at all. i click on a picture and the window for the picture open and close up. i see the pictures as icons and that is all.
so you may be correct in the statement about this drive being bad. i will try to run the utility form the bios again for a deep test. that will take 6 hours or more so i will run that tonight before i go to bed and let it run.
i was surprised to see all my programs still on the desktop. the last time i ran that media creation tool 909 when it was done i had a blank desktop. so now i can get the key as it has finished and maybe for the heck of it i will start the bios and see if i can run it again form the bios and see what happens.
so i took the battery out and it does not have tha key. my mistake. the key i have is on a cd from another pc that cd is windows 7 and it has a key. i tried to install that on this pc and it did not take. and the key came up bad and that key is on the cd cover and the cd itself. that cd is for a dell pc. the sticker say windows 7 pro oa then the key is under that. but the hp did not like that install.

ok, i went into the bios and turned of all the boot options but for the usb boot. and then restarted the pc. this time it came up and asked me a bunch of questions. and i picked rest the pc. i tried that from the program yesterday and it did not work. now it is at 50% i may get lucky. if i starts with a blank desktop then i can figure it deleted and formatted the drive to a fresh point. i will let you know as soon as it finishes. thanks
