8.1 on Ideapad Windows installation - cannot be enabled

Hello

I installed Windows 8.1 on my z500 Ideapad I understand is a free upgrade if you have Windows 8 (which came preinstalled)

I just installed it, and there is no product key on the machine. I read that the key of Windows 8 is in the bios and it will automatically activate... but he continues to request the license key.

I noticed that a large number of people have managed to install... What don't understand me, where is the license key?

I would appreciate help or someone can give advice.

Thank you

John

Use RWEverything and note the series of Windows 8 of the ACPI key > table MSDM.

Next

With the right button in the lower left of the screen and open the COMMAND PROMPT as ADMINISTRATOR.

Then enter these commands:

slmgr - ipk #-#-#-#-# (serial key goes to hashes)
slmgr - ato (this command will activate Windows)

This must and will work.

If problems, do a clean Windows 8 and upgrade using Windows Store install as it was supposed to be. You should not have problems.

If you need help more made me know !

  • Windows Installer cannot find readers

    I am trying to create a virtual machine (Windows XP) on a NFS mount.  I added the storage of the physical machine via VirtualCenter UI successfully.  I also use an iso of Windows XP for the installation that is on the same nfs mount.  When you start the virtual machine, windows install working (so is finding the nfs mount) but just after I click the F8 key to continue, Windows is unable to find records of the installation.  It's the classic Windows doesn't have the driver for this raid controller problem, but this time I use NFS for readers, so I do not understand what could be the issue.

    Leave it to BusLogic and just present this virtual disk that I linked in the previous post during installation.  The location where the virtual machine disk file is stored (NFS, SAN, storage Internet) shouldn't matter in your case.

    Hi Dan,.

    This problem can occur if Windows Installer tries to copy the file into a directory, but can't due to a permissions problem. This occurs most frequently when the SYSTEM user has no permissions in the target folder.

    Please answer a question, so that we can properly diagnose this problem:

    You did changes to the computer before this problem?

    Before you change permissions, try a few others not:

    a. on the desktop, press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

    b. type services.msc in the Run dialog boxand press Enter to open Services.

  • Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

    Hello

    I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

    So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

    But then I received the same error.

    Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

    But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

    Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

    So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    RedPanda

    1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

    2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

    3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

    4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

    5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

    diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

    This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

    6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

    7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

    8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

    9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.
