Activation key product on older machines to xp...

Recently was given a computer (xp machine) of a member of the family with the disks, I formatted the c drive, and ultimately the product key activation does not work... What do I do?  I have 28 days...

Try to use the product key update tool to change the key to that on the thumbnail...

  • How to get rid of the virus Windows 7 activation key product? (Solved)

    Yesterday my laptop ran fine, I was connected to the House of a friend playing a game online with no problems of virus said. Then when I take my computer laptop home and run it a strange thing happened on start up. He said that the program 'autochk' is not found while he was going to skip this program and continue the startup of Windows 7.

    Then I logged in and as soon as I connected the screen said there have been changes to the Windows system and shortly after that pops up another window saying that my Windows 7 was not authentic and that I need to provide my product key to reactivate. I do not give him the key because I knew it was a virus attack, so I do not suspect that I caused the problem to get worse (at least not yet).

    The strange thing I noticed when using my laptop, it's that when I bring up the Task Manager (I used this to try to find any unusual programs running) my username and one other 'user' unspecified wrote in Japanese, Chinese or Korean (I can't tell the difference on a computer). The strange thing is that I have no problem, most of the programs running and in fact have little or no consecutive effects, but I don't want to let this virus stick long enough to prove me wrong.

    I used several programs antivirus and anti-malware, including my own purchased CA security, as well as Trojan Remover, Malwarebytes and Windows security scanner to find the virus said and NOTHING turned up. I fear that this program that has infected my computer could steal personal information so I have really limited my use of games and whatnot, I'd be worried about this information? If so I would like to know ASAP if I change just in case such information. Finally, I'll give you my card to my system if necessary below to help solve this problem. Thanks in advance to all who help, I really appreciate it.

    System Specs:

    Model: Lenovo B560
    Hard drive: 250 GB
    RAM: 4 GB
    OS: Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition

    EDIT: I forgot to add that I do not have a background on my laptop nor can I ask my screen and it says in the lower right corner Windows 7 Build 7601 this copy of Windows is not genuine. I also cannot display my internet connection or battery life in the status bar down in the lower right and can not use my laptop built in touchpad.

    I actually ended up having a restore point system a few days before I got the virus, so I ended up just to help that, since I don't have many files added/deleted my account. In this situation, it is what I would recommend to anyone else that it will save you a lot of time and effort. If for some reason you can't use a Hitman Pro system restore point allows you to find the virus (I ended up using that before I decided to use the system restore). This will fix not damage to your computer, but if you want to ensure that it is safe to do something before you use so the anti-virus software, I described previously, he was the only of what I have listed who found the virus.

    @ Sathish S V Thanks for the help despite the fact that I don't end up using your advice, I was surprised and confused at all first when the virus struck but then figured out on my own since it took time to get a response then I needed to solve this problem as soon as POSSIBLE.

  • Can I use Vista Upgrade product key on the SAME machine?

    I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to XP media Center computer, and now my computer runs very slowly.  I have 1 GB of RAM, but isn't enough for Aero?  So... what I really do is to perform a new installation to refresh my computer, but I can do after already using my key product upgrade once? (Now I have an external HARD drive to back up my data... I didn't when I upgraded).  The new facility will be used with the same upgrade DVD and product key, and it will be used on the SAME machine.  This is allowed, or vista become inactive and I lose Vista completely?

    Yes you can reinstall Windows Vista by using the Windows Vista Upgrade activation disk works perfectly. Make sure you have your 25-digit product key.

    Also, make sure that you have installed once are not dual boot.

    My advice is that you bring a new installation with Service Pack 1 disc as shown here:

    Follow the instructions for installation, as in this case:
    Please note that the guide is basis of Dell, F12 can be a different key on your machine and you need to get your site system drivers from your computer manufacturer Web but most of the others in the guide apply to all windows based computers.

    Your Dell computer is too old (bios of 2003) were shipped originally with Vista Home Premium.  It's the bios does not even recognize that Vista even existed when it was written (no SLIC table).  I venture a guess that the sticker of the product key on the box of your desktop for Windows XP Edition family (as normally shipped with this computer.)  Vista was not yet released for manufacturers of computers until the end of 2006.

    Now your choice.  Buy a license retail for Vista or Windows 7 (if you can find the drivers for your computer 2003) or get the original installation discs and reinstall Windows which shows on the license on the case sticker.

    Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

  • I format my PC and have the product ID, but not the activation key

    Hello people,

    As the question says I have format my computer forgetting to pick up my activation key. I did, however, recover my product ID before formatting the device. The installed copy of Windows was previously purchased through the Express upgrade.
    I know that, as a general rule, it is impossible to get this key to return, but is it possible since I have the product ID and the same defined material? Please advice.

    Product ID is for customer support, cannot help regarding the activation of the software.

    Will send me you a confirmation email with my product key?

    Yes. An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.

    What happens if I lose my product key?

    If you lose your product key, you can return to www.windows7.com/getkey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID.
