Activation of OEM key in windows 8.1

Hello

recently, I have formttad my laptop and reinstalled WINDOWS 8.1 PRO on WINDOWS 8.1 LANGUAGE UNIQUE but

It took from the BIOS activation keys. My windows is not activated. What should do?

I did the installation with Legacy BIOS without UEFI.

Product: HP Pavilion n208TX 15

Initial OS: Windows unilingual 8.1

Hello Gshankar,

Based on the laptop you have and what is different. I have some recommendations for you.

First of all that your laptop is a commercial product, I would recommend see what more people on our business forms: laptop - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE, suggest for you. As they have the knowledge and experience with your laptop, the question might be different in this regard.

Second, you might try to contact the helpline and investigate with them. This could mean that ultimately something which cannot be by them. Technical support of HP, 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

Thirdly, is in contact with Microsoft. If this was supposed to be the free update and your getting this message, that they are able to explain why. In general, you should not, any edition of Windows 8 should upgrade to this same edition of 8.1 without this issue.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

    What is curious, if you notice at the beginning of the report's true State.

    In any case, go to the start menu and type slui 4. Make sure you do it on an administrator account.

    In the dialog box that opens, select your location and call the Microsoft Product Activation Center. Follow the instructions that the automated phone system gives you and then try to activate it.

  • 32-bit Windows 8 Pro OEM activation using a 64-bit OEM key activation - is it possible?

    I have one still to be put in service oem 64-bit of windows Pro 8 copy and I was eager to install the 32-bit version on an old pc running Windows XP and with only 4 GB of memory. The 64-bit activation key can be used for this installation of 32-bit version?

    I downloaded an iso of the equivalent of 32 bits, it installed OK but when I tried to activate it using the 64-bit activation key I got the message "this product key does not work. Is it because the key provided with the 64-bit oem disk is usable only on a 64-bit install (unlike the commercial versions non - oem where the same key works for 64-bit and 32 - bit)- or is the invalid key for some other reason?

    64-bit disc is titled HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5 and the 32-bit version, I downloaded HRM_CCSA_X86FRE_EN-US_DV5

    Product keys are not specific architecture (32-bit or 64-bit), the problem is, some keys do not work in some channels.

    A touch of detail will not work with OEM media and vice versa OEM key will not work with the media to detail.

  • Windows 8.1 OEM key and new motherboard

    My laptop was broken so it's under waarranty and they changed the motherboard and now I want to activate my windows 8.1 upgrade to 10 but I n t have the oem key, and that key is not in the bios becaut now, I have a new motherboard.

    How can I activate my windows again?

    Hello

    Sorry to hear that Atrium... obviously service agents forgot to update the Windows key after the replacement of the motherboard.
    As far as I know the key OEM activation process must be done before performing the recovery process...

    What shall I say I see no other way to communicate with the service in order to solve this problem... once more talk to the guy and I'm sure they know what to do

  • Need Windows 8.1 OEM key

    My computer laptop HARD drive was broken, so it is under waarranty and they changed the HARD drive and now I want to activate my windows 8.1 but I don't have the oem key?

    How can I activate my windows again?
    Where can I find activation key windows 8.1?

  • Regarding Windows 8 - OEM key built into the BIOS.

    I have a pre installed Windows 8 HP Notebook (under warranty).

    I get a new HP's HARD drive replacement.

    My question is that if I install a Windows 8 Pro OS with a new activation code on Microsoft Store, then the original Windows 8 - OEM key integrated in the BIOS would get replaced by this new Windows 8 Pro activation key?

    Or if the OEM of origin incorporated in the BIOS key will remain intact?

    Hello

    The original key from Windows 8 will remain integrated in the bios.

    Kind regards

  • Windows Vista HomePremuim OEM - Key not work

    recently my computer sony laptop hard drive broke, so I change the new one and then install oem Windows Vista HomePremuim but after I can not active there. My oem key comes from the sony laptop.  He says "the product key you entered dose does not seem to be a valid windows vata" product key.    now, I can only 30 days trial. only 28 days left. need help please.

    How did you install Vista?  If you have used a dvd recovery then it shouldn't require the entry of a product key.  If you are being invited to activate it, you can activate using the 25 character product key printed on the label at the bottom of the laptop or, in models later in the battery compartment.  Make sure that you do not enter a B for an 8, etc.  I suggest to use a magnifying glass and a bright light to make sure that you read the characters correctly.

    If it's a standard dvd of Windows, where did find the product key?  If it's a retail dvd, you must use one on the label on the dvd case.

  • Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.

    Hello

    I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop.  The HARD drive failed and the system unusable.  I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media.  The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.

    The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid.  I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.

    I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    you use an OEM SLP key that only works with the manufacturers recovery media.

    change the product key to that on computers of COA
    Click Start, type slui3, press ENTER.

    Additional information:

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  • Can not activate win 8 error "the key provided is not for this edition of windows, use either windows 8 setup or enter an activation key for windows 8.

    OT: Cannot activate win 8 on my laptop due to the change of hard disk.

    Hi all

    I have a Samsung np550p5c-s05in and it came installed with 64-bit Windows 8, later, the hard drive developed a few problems and as I had guaranteed him, they were replaced by a new, but this one came with a victory 8 32-bit that is not enabled. Now, I got the product key of victory last 8 I had so I tried using them to activate, but an error came that said something like

    "The key provided is not for this edition of windows,

    Use the installer of windows 8 or enter an activation key 8 windows. »

    So it was logical that the key I had was for a 64-bit win 8, so I installed win 8 64 bits of an image file and then I repeated the same procedure to enter the key and the same error came once again.

    I would ask so you people to please help me with this, because I have no idea whatsoever what to do next.

    Thanks in advance,

    All laptops with preinstalled Windows 8.1 are OEM version of the product that are modified by computer makers. You cannot activate a product of retail of Windows 8 with an OEM key.

    When get you the computer from the computer. I suggest that you create a recovery disk to help you in the future.

    Hello djplexus

    First, you will need to understand how to set up the dual boot. This will allow you to be able to choose between XP and 7 at startup.
    With regard to the creation of an image of Windows XP Backup there is no Windows XP software that will do it for you. You will need to look to third-party vendors for support with this issue. Thank you.

    In the case of a computer from a major manufacturer contact them via their web site.  Many have recovery media low cost for just the situation you encounter.  Also they can cause (however unlikely) a new product key to replace the one that has rubbed off.  If all else fails see also: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246

    Hello

    You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.

    _____________________________________________________________

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    ____________________________________________________________

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.
