Can I reactivate my 8.1 Windows again?

I plan to update my Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows this October, but do I have to activate my Windows again after update?

No, you won't, Windows 8.1 will be a free update for existing users and will be available as an optional upgrade by the store on the Windows start screen.

  • Can I reactivate my OEM of windows on a new motherboard so my old a broken?

    Hey all,.

    I know this has probably been asked before, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Recently, I built my first PC and bought a copy of windows 7 OEM. After the first day that I discovered that my motherboard was faulty and is not working properly. I'll send the motherboard for a replacement, but I understand that an OEM license is only allowed for a motherboard. Really, I don't want to have to pay a new license as I just activated my first on a couple of days, and I have to change because of a broken mobo that wasn't my fault and had to be changed.
    Thanks much for any help.
    Thomas.

    It shouldn't really matter in your case. The bottom line, it's your new motherboard was faulty.

    If it Windows is not activated by line, use the phone activation and explain your situation to the person you are talking about. Microsoft is to understand in situations like yours.

    Hello Raphael,.

    Christmas sent me to see if I had something that might help :-)

    My understanding of your situation, it's that your computer has a file system corrupted, if you used the manufacturer's recovery process to recover your computer if you "out-of-the-box".  I also noticed that you mentioned that recovery has given you the option has not your personal files in a place called "my old file Structures." Unfortunately, the recovery isn't going smoothly 100% and you encounter a problem of activation.

    The best tour I have up my sleeve is trying to "rearm" Windows Product Activation XP, which if it works will provide you with a grace period of 30 days, during which you can try to recover and backup your files from the old file Structure My, their credit on another storage (like external HDD or flash drives). Once your data is safe, then you can try to get another and hope this goes more smoothly this time. If this is not the case, your next step would be to contact the manufacturer to acquire the system disks required to run CD/DVD recovery rather than the recovery partition on the hard drive of your computer.

    If the computer can be started in a safe mode command prompt, run this option to rearm activation XP:

    Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

    The command must be typed exacly as above with space, caps, and comma.  Restart, and if it works, you will be able to log in normal mode (as opposed to safe mode) and will be in the 30-day activation grace period.

    Assuming that works, save your data, and then try the recovery again.  You will want to visit the support pages and community forum hosted by the manufacturer of your computer to search and see if the seeds of recovery are common for your make and model of computer - if yes, it is likely to be a fix for what you can implement.

    If this does not work, then your next task is to use an operating system off-line such as BartPE, Ultimate Boot CD, Knoppix, etc., to save your data from the saved location.  Once the data is turned off the computer and the safe, you can use the manufacturer's recovery disks (or disc OEM/systembuilder Microsoft at the generic address) to make a good clean install of Windows.

    Good luck! :-)

  • When starting, my windows xp hangs or crashes when you try to load 'personal settings '. I can't do something, but stop once again on commissioning, she repeats the same actions.

    When starting, my windows xp hangs or crashes when you try to load 'personal settings '. I can't do something, but stop once again on commissioning, she repeats the same actions. What now? Thank you

    Hello

    Disconnect all external devices from the computer and try to restart the computer and check what is happening.

     

    Step 1:

    Try to boot to the desktop in safe mode and check what is happening. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step 2:

    If you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the problem does not continues when the computer is in the clean start State follow the steps listed to identify which application is causing the problem.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • I reinstalled Windows Vista and can not reactivate with my key now... What do I do?

    Hello. I own a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate x 64.  It's the Builder pack and I used this license for 2 other computers I built bringing the total number of machines to 3 that it runs currently on.

    My question is this... I did a clean install on my PC twice since the original version, and now I can't reactivate Windows, what should I do?

    I don't have anything in the original documentation that came with the program which provides a limit to how many times this key could be used to register Windows.

    Any help with this is greatly appreciated... Windows expires today if I can't find a way to activate it :(

    If it's a plain OEM version is good for 1 activation, there is "Generator of Packs" as similar to Amazon I post that are good for 3 activations: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Ultimate-32-bit-Builders/dp/B000LP5EMS

    original title: product key

    Hello

    As you have lost the product key of the Tower, it is a preinstalled operating system and you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    They give you a different product key.

    What you can do now is ask them to send you a set of recovery disc for the computer model reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

    Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.

    None of these methods of resettlement requires normally 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.

  • Can I reactivate Windows on a new computer because my only original was destroyed by a fire

    Hello

    The title pretty much describes my situation. I had built a system to end more than a year and a half that I had installed a new copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Unfortunitly I lost my entire apartment in a fire. I had only a few things that survived and my product key and Windows 7 disc was one of them. The laptop I bought has Windows 7 Home Premium installed, but after too many install/UN-install of game demos, I needed a clean install of windows. (Among other reasons).

    I try to turn it on right away because I knew there would be problems. Then I got. Now 30 days has passed. I went through the activation problem when I built my system because I installed it on a hard drive in one of my other systems (a 6 burn upwards), then put the hard drive in the system, I built.

    Is there anyway that I can still use this copy of Windows 7? I am the owner of original and unique to this copy. There is the system it was originally registered and activated with is no longer.

    Thank you in advance.
