can not activate win 7

Hello

This is my problem: my cousin bought a new computer system and he gave me his old one with windows 7 that he bought.

He said re - format the hard drive and do a fresh install to erase its info, which I did and now I can't seem to activate the windows 7 now on this system.

He told me that it is the only system that he has used his software purchased on and not others then why can't activate it now, the only difference is his name and my name?

Please notify

  • Can not activate Win 8 - reports of problems with the product key

    Hi all

    I have just downloaded 8 Win and tried to upgrade my existing Win 7 Home Premium VM, which I run on VMWare Fusion 5.0.1 on my Intel MacBook Pro 2009. I wasn't able to do the upgrade in place - the installer told me that it was not possible to run Win 8 on this machine. Instead, I created a. ISO file and used to install Win 8 in a new virtual machine. Everything works fine, but I can't activate Win 8. The error message tells me that "something is wrong with the product key" even if I could install Win 8 with the same fine product key.

    I called various hotlines MS today but don't have anything got no solid advice. Am I the only one who experience this issue? Is there something I need to pay attention during installation of the virtual machine to win 8? Is it possible to install a fresh VM with a key product upgrade in the first place? I would appreciate any information you might have on this subject.

    Thank you in advance and Bravo,

    Georg

  • Can not activate Win 8 after removing all of the Satellite P850

    I did everything remove and reinstall Windows 8.
    As in the factory setting.

    But I can't activate Windows. The product key does not work.

    The Windows 8 K OME on my Toshiba Satellite P850.

    Thank you.

    Cheers mate.

    Hello

    The key of product at the bottom of the device would not work!
    The pre-installed Windows 8 would be activated automatically during the startup and configuration of the system for the first time!

    You format the whole HARD drive? Did you remove the 8 Windows from the HARD drive?
    Have you created a disk recovery or flash memory stick recovery in the past?

    ISN'T IT?
    In this case, there is only one option to get to factory settings.
    You will need to order the Toshiba Recovery disk:

  • Can not activate win 8 error "the key provided is not for this edition of windows, use either windows 8 setup or enter an activation key for windows 8.

    OT: Cannot activate win 8 on my laptop due to the change of hard disk.

    Hi all

    I have a Samsung np550p5c-s05in and it came installed with 64-bit Windows 8, later, the hard drive developed a few problems and as I had guaranteed him, they were replaced by a new, but this one came with a victory 8 32-bit that is not enabled. Now, I got the product key of victory last 8 I had so I tried using them to activate, but an error came that said something like

    "The key provided is not for this edition of windows,

    Use the installer of windows 8 or enter an activation key 8 windows. »

    So it was logical that the key I had was for a 64-bit win 8, so I installed win 8 64 bits of an image file and then I repeated the same procedure to enter the key and the same error came once again.

    I would ask so you people to please help me with this, because I have no idea whatsoever what to do next.

    Thanks in advance,

    All laptops with preinstalled Windows 8.1 are OEM version of the product that are modified by computer makers. You cannot activate a product of retail of Windows 8 with an OEM key.

    When get you the computer from the computer. I suggest that you create a recovery disk to help you in the future.

    The iPad battery is not empty? If this isn't the case, then have you tried a soft-reset/reboot to see if that gets it to start? Press and hold the home button and sleep for about 10 to 15 seconds, then the Apple logo will appear if all is well and it will start.

  • NB305-N410BN-G = FN + F8 can not activate 3G / but FN + F8 can activate WIFI

    Hello world

    You also have a problem with the switch of Toshiba FN F8 on Windows 7 Starter x 86 (32 bit). I can turn on and off the transmission of my built-in WIFI, but not my built in 3 G mobile broadband (Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000). It has worked well so far. But then I had to send my Netbook for service because the screen stays black. An external monitor and it worked fine... In any case; They exchanged the motherboard and now LCD is well again. But my 3G connection does not work, because I can not activate the transmission of the antenna.

    Real conditions / situation / comments:
    (1) sierra Wireless Gobi 2000 3 G card is present in Device Manager, it is activated and shown without problems or restrictions.
    (2) I can even test the modem successfully!
    (3) under network connections the Sierra card is present but displayed with a red X. But I can't activate it.
    (4) in addition I can disable there despite the red X already indicated.
    (5) when I run Toshiba Wireless manager shows that the card is present but transmission is switched off. "Please switch on with FN + F8"... arrgh!

    I tried already following as follows:
    (1) all installed available and past Sierra drivers Sierra 3 G driver (v1.1.140; 05/03/2010; 37.58 M)
    (2) because of the BIOS update to the latest version 1.50 = wireless connection switch is activated = and the WIFI worked very well...
    (3) installed last Toshiba Value added Package (v1.3.6; 09/04/2010; 44.36 M)
    (4) installed last Toshiba Flash Cards Support Utility (v1.63.0.5C, 28/12/2009; 9.38 M)
    (5) installed last Toshiba 3 G Connection Manager (v2.1.97, 20/05/2010; 29.28 M)
    (6) perform a restore of the entire system with recovery system (installation of a 1:1 copy of the delivered original from drive C :) partition
    (7) tried another way to complete a new installation of Windows 7 starter x 86 emty C: drive and installed the drivers from the Sierra as well as the added value of Toshiba utility to support package and flash cards
    (8) tried 3rd party software to control the connection 3 G MWCONN (found here: www.MWconn.info)-the config.exe can activate the transmission for a few seconds using the function "device / network analysis / start". This causes the broadband connection blue LED on the fronside of my netbook to be turned on for a few seconds. But üfter the test off again. So I turn on the transmission temporarily but not permanent. AND - THERE IS A MEANS OF TRANSMISSION OF SWITCH ON BY MEANS OF THE SOFTWARE! - But HOW...! ?

    What have I not tried again:
    (1) find someone with the same netbbok NB305-N410BN-G-online exchange the hard drive temporarily to test and market the Sierra 3 G in my netbook. It will be very difficult because I'm sitting in Germany actually...

    !!! Help, please! = does not, or no matter who else had same or similar problem...?

    Thanks in advance for any kind of useful tips and ideas!

    Thank you for your time and help,

    Have you turned on the switch on the side of laptops?
    I put t know not which way the switch is present, but check it must be somewhere on the side.
    This switch must be turned on everything first, then you can use the FN + F8 key combination.

If so you will not be able to activate the operating system is an OEM manufacturer and will only work with the original system.
