A full recovery requires manual entry of the product key Microsoft?

I was wondering if the HP System Recovery automatically included the Windows product key, or if it should be manually inserted after recovery?

The reason why I ask is because I can no longer view, read, or even make the code 25-digit number on the certificate of Authenticity on the bottom of the laptop, as it was literally brought to use.

If it isn't, can then someone tell me how I can get a new one, without having to purchase Windows 7 all over again?  Microsoft says that if one is come pre-installed OS, then the manufacturer must be contacted.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

No need to enter the Windows product key when the value by using the recovery disk to bring the machine to the factory settings.

Hope that answers your question

  • I have a WIndows 7 Ultimate operating system failure and required a drive for a clean install. I have the product key, but Microsoft offers no English option.

    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate active computer that was swarming (STRONGLY) of malware/virus/junk files/adware...

    I think I have cleaned out, but want to do a clean to be sure install, but I have no partition recovery (may be erased by a virus?) and no recovery dick.

    I went to the Microsoft website and entered my product key.  He has been recognized as Windows 7 Ultimate, but when I had to choose a language, English was not available.

    Any solution, or should I continue to use the computer and all hope is clean?

    EDIT - I installed the windows 10 (using an ISO image) on Windows 7.  I do not enter the product key when asked (the program said I could jump at this stage of the installation).  Installation went well.

    I then checked to activate Windows 10 - it activated without any difficulty.

    I will now try a clean install...

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • How can I reinstall windows after new HD, but don't have windows or recovery discs, I have valid Vista COA and the product key

    I have a laptop Acer 4720 with valid product key of Vista Home Premium OEMact and COA label, my problem is the HD is broken and I need to install the new HD and then reinstall windows, but I have not all disks (was on the recovery partition which is good), so what are my options? Can I use any family Vista Edition installation disc Premium and then activate my license key?

    Hi again,

    You use the product key on your computer case with the Installation DVD Microsoft process.

    As I advised alreasdy, recovery from other manufacturers discs are of no use for this

    The only thing is that you may need to make a phone Activation, do it this way and not use auto invite, but hold the line for a person to physically respond to your call.

    I would advise not to download an ISO of Vista on the Internet, you will find that they are pirated and malicious programs containing versions changed.

    The DVDs are not available from Microsoft.

    When I informed 'borrow' that's what I meant. a friend, acquantance workplace, etc.

    Or if you know someone with the same model of Acer and Vista operating system, you might try their recovery disks.

    See you soon.

    I suggest that you run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic tool in normal mode (not safe mode) and copy and paste the results into a response for further analysis:

    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52012

    Run the tool and when it ends, click the copy button, open a text such as Word or Notepad file and select Edit, paste. You can paste directly into an answer here. Open a response, right click and select Paste.

    This immediately gives you the product key, but it might help to show the way forward.

  • change the product key on windows 7 ultimate 64-bit full

    Let's make has a history very very short.  Earlier this year, I bought 4 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate full 64-bit for internet and loaded mrechant on 4 machines (3 upgrades from Vista and 1 new installation) without a hitch.  The software was perfect for a few months until recently Microsoft me notified that the software was not "authentic".  Apparently this software was not allowed to sell in the USA.

    In any case, if I buy a new genuine Windows 7 Ultimate Full 64-bit version, can't I just change the product key to solve this problem?  I know I need to ultimately get 4 copies.

    Thanks in advance!
