• How recover the 8 original windows product key after I accidentally changed?

  Hello guys,.

  Something really bad happened to my laptop and I can't seem to solve the problem. Therefore, I am writing this problem here in order to get the help of you smart guys. Last week one of my friends borrowed my laptop for 3 days while I worked. When he came back to me, he said that he has accidentally changed the product key of my windows and it could not get it back. I tried to work on it since then. Finally, I decide that I need help after the future store (where I bought the laptop) fail to come with a solution for the future. I know there are a lot of guys here are really smart and pro on computer problems, so maybe you can help me with this problem. It's a laptop ASUS K75DE of model with windows 8 preinstalled inside. I just want to know if there is a way for me to get the original product key from windows, which is preinstalled in the laptop.
  I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys.

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  Your only option is to restore the computer to its original factory condition.

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

• If I still have the box lost Windows product key

  I was wondering if their was a way to recover my product key? I still have the box of the product key came and there bar codes and the Windows print on the box. And the computer I had it on his hard drive went rites

  What happened to the insertion of the product key?

  You have pictures of backup of the previous operating system, or the hard drive is accessible to all to read the data off of it, i.e., enslavement it to another PC or using a boot disk?

  If this isn't the case, then call Global Customer Service to see if they can trace your product key with the identifiers that remain on the packaging.  This can depend on the ingenuity of the agent, so if necessary I called several times to see if you get one that is capable (a strategy to get what you need any support), and required still ask a supervisor.  Be polite and encouraging.

• Determine the version of Windows product key on the back "bricks" Lenovo laptop

  I bought a used Lenovo 6459CTO laptop. The sticker on the back windows is partially readable and windows was preinstalled, when the laptop was purchased. The system has failed and attempts to reinstall an image by the previous owner allowed to corrupt the Lenovo recovery Partition, so I can't boot up the laptop. I don't have the recovery disks. How can I determine what version of windows is on the laptop using the product key? The version of windows on the label is unreadable.

  You must contact the Lenovo Support and ask for help.  Please see: How to replace Microsoft software

• The Windows product key sticker has disappeared and cannot use it to activate

  Windows product key sticker is missing at the bottom of my laptop and I can't do some of the latest figures, my laptop computer manufacturer did not provide any hardware Windows 7 or a disk and I contacted them and they won't help. My windows 7 is actually owner I have the sticker on the bottom of my laptop as evidence, can I send this to microsoft to help out me? also note, I had problems with my laptop and realizing that the hard drive has indeed not my old windows 7 installed and the hard drive is faulty, it cannot be extracted, that is the reason why I have a problem.

  your manufacturer would have provided a recovery partition on your hard drive to recover windows. If your hard disk does not and you can't read your key, you will probably need to order from your manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (no key needed, because the OEM SLP key is embedded).

  Try a bright light and a good magnifying glass to read your product key.

• Where to find the 8 unique language of 64-bit windows product key?

  Dear,

  I have Toshiba P850 with 64-bit Windows 8 unique language pre-installed. I could not find the product key on the back of the laptop, then I tried the Toshiba web site and find nothing, I also tried the Microsoft Web site and failed to find an answer.

  As I'm ready to upgrade to windows 8.1 (only one language of course), I found the product key, always not sure if Microsoft will upgrade the single language version too, so, I'll keep waiting for an answer to this question.

  By clicking on 'Show details in Windows Activation' I found a two groups of characters, but the 1st group is five asterisks. As far as I know, the Windows product key contains five groups of characters.

  My concern is to ask if this version of windows will have a product key, if there is a product key, can someone tell me where to find it?

  My gratitude to all,

  In Windows 8, the product key is now in the BIOS, not on a sticker on the computer. When you upgrade to 8.1, you need not provide the product key; You can find out for himself.

• HP Envy 14 LR198AV: HP sold me PC with no valid Windows 7 or at least an invalid Windows product key and product ID

  I bought this PC in July 2011 and it is out of warranty.  After that of being harassed at level to Windows 10 months I decided to do it, but rather than the upgrade, I did a clean install from the laptop was malfunctioning.  I read on the Microsoft site that we could do it as long as they have Windows product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 that was already installed on the machine.  I wrote that down with the Windows ID (different number).

  I've updated by downloading Windows 10 to a USB key and then the installation.  Seemed to work very well (I think that I entered my product in the process ID).  Now, a few weeks later I get a message that I need to "activate windows".  I called MIcrosoft after it could not activate using the ID that I and after 30 minutes on the phone they me said my Windows product ID and both are my "invalid" Windows product key  I would call HP and get this sorted - I have the original order number and Microsoft said that's all I need for HP to help me - but I am out of warranty and apparently help me unless I pay them $60.  Another alternative is to buy a new copy of Windows 10 and pay MIcrosoft money.

  I am shocked, because I'm simply doing what Microsoft has been harassment to me.

  BTW, the PC seems to work fine except the message to activate windows.  I guess that another option is to do nothing.

  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Available for the free upgrade until the end of July 2016, according to the latest rules from Microsoft Windows 10. Thus, you will be able to spend to Win 10 If you want. I'm not a fan of win 10, but if you want to upgrade to it I personally recommend the ISO for Win 7 upgrade method to win 10-

  # Download the ISO from MS site, burn it to a DVD, insert the DVD into the PC and start the process from inside Windows 7

  # Follow the on-screen instructions then

• Hp23-r110 all-in-one: the Windows product key

  I have restored and installed win 10 once again. But the PC need product key Windows (25 characters). I can't find it on the pc. Where is the key?

  Computers HP isn't a product key. When you first buy the computer operating system is already built into the motherboard (OEM). If in any case, that you have upgraded your operating system windows 10 and it asks for a product key. There could be a problem in your operating system while you perform an upgrade.

  Hello

  I read a few threads about similar problems with the BONE key and the key change has always helped
  Sometimes, Microsoft rates the key of the image as incorrect or not valid. Why? I don't know... it's Microsoft you know ;)

  Fact is that the key on the cover of the CD can only be used to activate the software Microsoft Works or OneNote installed on the laptop. The key is not responsible for the Windows operating system.
  The key that could be used with the Win operating system is placed at the bottom of the unit.

  Well, according to your message you used this key and now I m a bit confused
  I think you should make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to clear this problem

• Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

  I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

  Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

  Lenovo ThinkPad T450

  Model: 20BV00BUS

  CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

  RAM: 4 GB

  Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

  Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

  Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

  A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

  I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

  This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

  The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

  Kind regards

  Victor L.

  Hi Victor,

  I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

  We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

  To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

  Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

  (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

  Select Start,

  Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

  If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

  I hope this helps.

  Best regards, Max.

• Aspire 5749z who do not accept the windows product key, attached to the back of the laptop

  I installed Windows 10 House. When I went to enter the enclosed code error codes and not accept the key and activate windows 10

  you need to upgrade your version of windows to windows 10 first, then you can do a clean install.

  you don't need to enter any 10 windows product key during installation (if you did the upgrade first).

  Windows 10 will not accept any product key from older versions of windows if you do a clean install, you must buy a windows retail 10.
