  • I can't activate my Windows Defender. I have Windows Vista.

  • Can not activate reinstalled windows 8

    A year ago I bought a dell inspiron 15r with windows 8 only installed language. Dell didn't send me a windows install disc and I don't know my product key. I don't like windows 8 at the time and did a clean install of windows 7 and used for a year. Recently, I decided to reinstall windows 8.je found an iso file of windows 8 and installed it on my USB. Assumed to activate my windows 8 automatically but it didn't. During installation, it did not my product key, I thought it was activated, but it is not. It's find my product key 8 windows with my service tag.

    The iso file I found is 8.1 windows only language, I think that there is no problem here.

    Microsoft made the Windows 8.1 installation media reject 8.0 Windows product keys during installation, but not during activation. The solution is to install with a generic product key and then get your product using RW-everything key. You can then activate using the key to change. See here for more details:

  • How can I activate the Windows Update Service?

    I had to restore my kids PC. Windows Update gives me a message that it is not running and I need to restart the PC. I've done several times, and Windows update still does not work. I passed through TaskManager, Services and found Windows Update and tried rebooting from here. It still does not. How can I get the update of Windows running service?

    Hello

    (a) the first thing to do is to stop the Windows Update service on your Windows 7 computer. You can do this by going to start and typing in services.msc in the search box.

    (b) then press enter and the Windows Services dialog box appears. Now scroll down until you see the Windows Update service, right-click on it and choose stop.

    (c) now that the Windows Update service has been disabled, you must go to the following folder and delete all files and folders inside:

    C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\

    (d) once you have deleted everything, go back to the Services dialog box, right-click on the Windows Update service and click Start.

  • All network devices can see each other + Windows 7 computer, but machine Windows 7 can not see them

    Hello. Under the network of my machine Windows 8 folder, I can see all the devices on the network. This includes a printer, my computer Windows 7 (what I can access), an Apple TV (from special software), a wireless hard drive, the router and a digital recorder.

    The Windows 7 machine, I can only see the router and the printer. On special software, the Apple TV does not either. When you perform the Windows 8 computer host as a server for the special software, the Windows 7 machine could not see it on the special software. This means that there is something wrong on the Windows 7 this machine is not allowing him to detect other devices.

    In a game of LAN, Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers can't see each other.

    All devices are on the internet and I am posting this from the Windows 7 machine right now.

    Windows 7 and Windows 8 machine are on the same network.

    No device is on a host group and the group home service is disabled.

    Peer networking is enabled.

    Network discovery is turned on.

    Both connections are set to private/Home.

    Originally, the Windows 7 machine has been on his own home group and could be seen by anything. After a few hours, I finally got out of the home group, how other devices could see him then. However, he cannot always see other devices.

    How can I get the Windows 7 machine to see other devices? I am at a loss. Is there a service that I have disabled right now that needs to be enabled? I don't know what to do.

  • Why can't activate my windows 7 again?

    I bought a commercial 32 and 64-bit windows 7, but before receiving, he bought an another 32-bit and installed on my computer. I then installed the 32-bit of the commercial Pack on my wife. Given that my computer will support 64 bit, I installed this on my own and the other installed on my wife. Now, I can't the active windows. It is said that my key has been blocked by microsoft. How to spend it?

    It is a diagnosis that is interesting, but he passed through my wife. So, I am convinced that it is authentic. Since I activated on its own, is probably the reason that I can not on my own. If I buy a new product key, can I then install it on mine?
