Dell direct USB recovery key Win7 Home Premium 64bit

The dell usb recovery media are one time use and encrypted so they cannot be cloned. They are also machine specific.  Optiplex 780's are not machines that would have had Windows 7 home premium recovery key.  You cannot use any key on any system.  Your Optiplex 780 DOES NOT have a USB recovery key.

The Mispelling in your error also indcates to me that this "recovery key" did not come from dell.

 You may not be able to purchase a Dell OS Recovery USB Key.  They are only for specific models and not available world wide. They also do not cover all OS.If you are not in the USA you may not be able to get one.

I am getting the exact same error "Unable to continue the booting process. Some informations are corrupted or missing!!" with my Dell Direct USB Recovery Key Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit. 

This usb key was sent to me from Dell for my Inspiron N7110.

I called support and asked for another usb key at no charge since this one is defective. I was told I had to pay for service to determine if the usb key was defective before I could get a replacement.

The error is coming from NON DELL source and Likely EMEAI country.  The Recovery key is designed to be used only 1 time and never again.  They are encrypted and cannot be cloned.  Dell USA support would not send the key to anyone whose warranty has expired.

How many users have to tell you that they received the DELL USB key directly from Dell and yet it still has misspellings such as "informations" in its error messages. I called Dell, they had my complete order information, and at my request they sent me a Dell USB Recover and Restore Key. I am having similar problems to the other users.  I managed to use the key to install Windows 8.1 on a machine that came with Windows 7 installed, but recovery is hung at the stage at which it would restore my personal information.  It asks me to insert the USB key and restart, but when I boot from the USB key, it says that some informations have been corrupted, and won't let me go on.  I could live with losing the personal information because I have only had the machine for a couple of weeks, but it is annoying that every time I boot Windows the Dell recovery software keeps pestering me to insert the USB key and reboot, and sometimes even reboots without my consent.

If the system has a Windows 8.1 Pro license (with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional) and you want to install Windows 8.1 Pro you could just download a .iso and make a FAT32 Bootable USB as GPT for a UEFI BIOS. Enable SecureBoot before installing, see here for details:

This forum is Dell USA.  Dell USA would not send any such key randomly for any dell system.

Directly from DELL in what country?  Keys are not sent out for systems out of warranty.

Windows 7 is from 2009 and its 2015.  Well past any shipping warranty.  Microsoft has also Ended Windows 7 home and Ultimate months ago.

This forum is not direct interaction with Dell Warranty Support.

EMEAI is being ignored so I'm even more certain that this is not coming "directly" from DELL but rather 3rd party in a country where Dell support is 3rd party.

Directly from DELL in what country?  Keys are not sent out for systems out of warranty.

mguarino13 is posting from the US. OptiPlex 780 Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium.

Note it is possible to get Windows 7 Home Premium on an OptiPlex but relatively rare. Most of the OptiPlex 760, 780, 790 and 7010 systems shipped to my University came with Windows 7 Home Premium. Most of the OptiPlex 755s shipped with Windows Vista Home Basic. The University got them because they were cheaper and used the volume license to put Enterprise on them.

It is however a Late 2009 system as you say and probably out of warranty.

JeanEs2015 is posting from CA. Inspiron N7110 Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium.

It is however an Early 2011 system and also likely out of warranty.

Missing the point. There was NEVER a win7 home premium USB recovery key for the optiplex 780.

Its dsingenuous to ask dell to fix something that they did not make or sell or distribute to an end user.

OEM's are not allowed to Sell NEW Windows 7 Home Premium after the End of Sales date.

That means that an 8.1 with windows 7 home installed would not be "new" or sold from dell in the last few weeks. 

OEM's are not allowed to Sell NEW Windows 7 Home Premium after the End of Sales date.

Newegg is still selling it. Also, some refurbished older Dells were being sold with Windows 7.

Again Refirbished Older dells would have MAR copies of windows not OEM copies. That obfuscation in no way makes a Dell sold in the last few weeks have windows 7 home.  The complaints are about usb flash recovery media that is not working and or is for models that never had any such media.

You're not being helpful. And your level of snark and bitchiness is completely uncalled for. 

People are asking for help. If you can't provide it why chime in with nasty comments? It's highly rude.

Newegg is still selling (OEM) Windows 7, the successor to XP, and in fact offered the Home Premium version for $70 last month.

Since you have been in contact with Dell Technical support, tell them the USB is not working and ask them whether its possible to get a Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD instead.

Hi Mguarino13,

Thanks for your post.  I apologize that the usb key was not working properly for you.  I have a couple of possible solutions.  If you would contact the agent or department that sent the usb key and request another one, or if you will send me your service tag number in a Private Message, I'll see how I can assist further.

Regards,
Robert

I received the same message. When one googles the error message, it comes up quite frequently. This not a new problem. What is the problem and what is the solution?
