Can I get my key of Activation Windows 7 use count reset?

I often re - install Windows 7 I have main regularly updated my system / re install so that a new installation (much faster)... Unfortunately, I recently started to get an error code saying I used my key too many times... I called Microsoft Customer support and after 2 hours juggled back from a Ministry to and being hung up, I finally got someone who could help... They did a phone activation and everything works now... The only problem being that I'll have to go through that * every time that I try to reinstall windows in the future... Is it possible to get my CD key discount or I'm just going to break my legitimate OS in the future when I re format my system (that I will not to put up with the customer service given by Microsoft).

If you make major changes such as changing the hard drive or motherboard will require relocation and reactivation every time.

My recommendation is to create a system image now of your activated installation.

So when you decide to make such changes only to reinstall Windows 7 or to change the key components, restore the image.

  • How to get the key of Activation Windows 7 (Vista upgrade)

    I just replaced a broken in my Dell Inspiron HARD drive.
    Initially, it came with Vista Home Premium as the operating system standard. The product key to which is attached to the base of the laptop.
    I've upgraded to Windows 7 in the middle of the year last using a purchased upgrade DVD, it used the existing prouct key to run as much as I can make out.
    Everything was fine and everything worked well and saved OK.

    I replaced the HARD drive and subsequently had to reinstall Vista from DVD, the recovery once that has been completed I reinstalled Windows 7 from the DVD upgrade. Its now ask the activation key for Windows 7. The vista it won't work (as it is a Vista one). I don't have a key to windows 7 I had a DVD upgrade.

    I think I must have missed the activation step when I reinstalled Vista and before you reinstall 7, is it possible to sort without having to buy a new copy of 7? Should I go back to Vista and enable that first, then reinstall 7?

    Any suggestions?

    TIA

    Not good, I don't remember come with a key in the back of a case of cd cover. I would have kept it safe until he did! It was not a d/l, so no info in this way.

    However I managed to find a small program that retrieves the registry keys. It will also find them in the old registry if you point to the correct folder on an external HARD drive. I should have said it does not appear that the portion of the BONE of the drive that broke the other files and folders are almost always intact and accessible.

    I am now running properly, now fix itunes!

    Thanks for your help anyway.

    I did a restore of windows xp home 64-bit but not recover my registry key.  How can I get the key?

    There is no such thing as Windows XP 64-bit Edition.  OEM machines are supposed to have a sticker with the product key on the computer somewhere.  You never did a full backup or an image of the disc on another drive?  If so, the key can be retrieved from the backup or image.

    Hello

    There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

    http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

    If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

    • Pay Sony for media recovery
    • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

    If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

    http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

    .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

    Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

    If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

    If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

    My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

    I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

    • The legality of this is, at best, questionable
    • If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

  • I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    * Original title: get the product key

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    How can I get run command Wizard in windows 7

    Help & Support:

    That became the command run?

    The run command no longer appears on the start menu in this version of Windows. The search box that appears in the start menu provides much of the same functionality as the command run. However, the command run is still available if you prefer to use. You can even add it to the start menu for easier access.

    To add the run command to the start menu
    Click to open the taskbar and Start Menu Properties.

    Click the Start Menu tab, and then click Customize.

    In the list of options on the start menu, select the command box run and then click OK. Run the command will appear on the right side of the start menu.

    Tip:
    You can also access the command run by pressing the logo Windows + R key.
