After downgrading to windows 10 for windows 7 product key not valid

Similar Questions

• Reinstallation of Windows 7 product key question valid.

  I see a lot of another similar post here, but none the explicitly to help me in my situation, as I understand it. I have problems with my computers that confuse me now. Both my laptop and desktop computer had hard drive failure and I replaced the drives in both entities (nothing else). Today, I have reinstalled Windows 7 on two of them (the sticker COST says Windows 7 Home Prem OA), I entered for each respective product keys and none worked properly. Both computers say I entered the product key is invalid for activation. I tried this for 32-bit and 64-bit versions (my laptop was 64-bit before the hard drive failed, I don't know what was the office, but the diagnostics say it is capable of 64 - bit) and it made no difference.

  It would be my time to search around, that the replacement of the hard drive should not cause this problem. I am not mistaken? Is there no way to reinstall Windows 7 using existing product keys? I received my links to download other messages here but the installer for this installation of Windows 7 Home Prem has an agreement of Service Pack 1 installation, should I be looking for a different version? What does the acronym for OA?

  Hello

  You are allowed to change hard drives; the motherboard with OEM (preinstalled or system builders licenses) are the problem.

  And with or without Service Pack 1 download works with the product key on the COA sticker.

  This is the product key that is all important.

  If you have followed these steps to reinstall, follow the phone Activation section for activation problems and brace yourself for a real person explain to the:

  Download the correct ISO file and make your own drive and use the product key located on the COA sticker.

  And here are instructions on how to burn ISO disk images:

  Then do a clean install:

  The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  

  By using the downloaded ISO file method can require the Activation of phone.

  If it does require phone activation, do not follow Demand of Auto, but brace yourself for a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup

• Windows 7 Ultimate 64 k product key not valid after more than a year of use

  Initially, I bought a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 upgrade as a student version. My computer originally had Windows 98. ten years later my hard drive died, and I learned that you cannot reinstall a version upgrade. (beware of the free windows 10 UPGRADE). I bought a product key of the online Microsoft Store over one year in January of 2015. I have finally is broken down and bought the key because I was advised if I never had to do a Setup again that buying a key meant I could without any other expenditure. It seems to work fine until I recently got a message saying that my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 is not valid. I called the Microsoft store and they claimed to have no trace that I already bought the product key from their part. After a few unsuccessful attempts to locate the original mail, finally, I scored. I received an email from a Laura McBride in the Microsoft Online store, with a product key and a link to a file in Dropbox. So I tried to do a repair and reinstall by using the information in the email. The Dropbox file will not download to my Dropbox, it said its too big. It will not download to my computer as it says that the .zip is too large. I'm reaching here. What can I do next?

  No third party or Microsoft Partner are allowed to sell product keys.

• Reinstallation of Windows 7 Ultimate edition, suddenly product key not valid?

  After 5 years of use, I started having trouble with my system. Microsoft Office gave errors and Windows 7 has been hard too long to start upward or too long to close. I decided to do a new reinstall of Windows 7 Ultimate. I bought the version I have in my University just now and everything was going well on the first re-setup, until I tried to install Microsoft Office only to watch him hang at start installation for far too long. After trying to solve the problems, I thought it would be better update of Windows 7 in total, well, Windows Update installation suspended installation and start-up. So I figured a reboot would help and unfortunately the o/s started showing the same symptoms he had before as I wiped the drive clean. I erased the disc again and tried a new installation, but this time all of a sudden, my product key was invalid. Again, it is a purchase copy, should I call Microsoft?

  As a reminder, I have no o/s on the system other than the installation just run by the disc, now it is stuck on the main screen product because he accepts it.

  You should be able to install without a key and start the 30-day grace period.

  This would then allow to enter the key after installation. However if that dialogue initial report, the key is invalid what you type does them not. At this point, there is no that verify that the key is correctly encrypted is the right key for the version of Windows that you are installing, it does not check with Microsoft for the key abused later, may not have a network connection.

  Make sure that the characters are correct

  B C D F G H J K M P Q R T V W X Y 2 3 4 6 7 8 9

  Some ambiguous characters do not serve but B and 8 can be confused because of the size and the tail of the Q is so small it looks like O which is not actually used

• Windows 7 product key not recognized by windows

  I have the HP dv6-3122us laptop with windows 7 Home premium preinstalled with Office Starter 2010 reason for all the problems of the system listed in convenience stores, that I ended up having to restore the default values. Would not install until through a guru on this forum post, I could finally restore from disk by removing the battery. I don't know what happened but when finally restored the hard drive used 57 GB of my drive and shows not all disks on my laptop. It shows a lot of files when pulled upwards, but originally before the resstore, there were only about 8 GB used. My other problem is that it asks my product key to activate windows and does not recognize the one I provided with the PC says that I might have to buy another key. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Also my guarantee for the PC is no longer valid. Micorsoft says to contact the manufacturer, the manufacturer says to contact Microsoft. All diagnostics say there is nothing wrong, but OH YES it is!

  It won't work because the product key has been for an OEM different to install your trying to install a retail business instead of OEM product key which will not work. That's why your do pass this message. What version of Windows you are trying to re - install? When you reinstalled you wipe the HARD drive and the partition hidden as well? Maybe when you reinstall again to install the Windows 7 home premium and who should install. Put it this way you have Home Premium and no future install disc you use will have to be Home Premium to use the product key that is located on the sticker on your laptop. You do not get to use the product key for Windows 7 Ultimate version, it works that way or or she will let you.

• Product key not valid after reinstall

  I have a gateway desktop comp I didn't have the restore disc and I went to a local store that has installed a clean version for me and now my product key does not work, it says its a touch invalid but its on the back of my computer I have no understanding.

  The 'local' store use the same type of media (OEM) and the same edition of Windows Vista that printed on the sticker to your machine?

  I would get; local store ' remedy if it does not-well that when you take them make sure you tell them that you will use Belarc Advisor to check the key they use to install macthes the sticker on the machine (that you now write down and store elsewhere.)

  Or - you can communicate with gateway and see if they will get you the correct restore/recovery/installation media...
