• Impossible to install windows 8 - we could not verify the product key

  Hello

  I have a HP G laptop computer series. The laptop comes with Windows 7. I. I upgraded to WIN 8 pro when windows 8 has been released. Recently, my laptop hard drive crashed completely due to bad sectors. I replaced with a new hard drive and tried to install WIN 8 from a dvd disk created from Windows download site.

  Now, the installation fails in the "enter product key to activate windows. The error is , we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media.

  What can I do here? I can't install Windows 7 also because my laptop didn't come with a backup installation disk but just a restore system partition that get lost with swap HDD too.

  I was struck here for weeks. Please help me.

  To install Windows 8, you must have a previous Version (XP Sp3, Vista or Windows 7) installed at installation time. Your RESUME must have given you the opportunity to make a series of DVD of Windows 7, when you first start using your computer. If you have done these and then use them for the recovery of Windows 7 on your computer and then update for Windows 8.0. If you don't do this why? Your other option is to contact HP support and have then send you a recovery of Windows 7 DVD set. They will charge a small fee for these to help cover their costs.

  Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

  My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?

  Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.

  Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.

  If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.

  See you soon.

• Reinstalling Windows Vista, but do not have the product key. How can I find?

  Install Vista on two machines
  OK, so one of my friends has Ubunto Linux installed on their system and they want Windows Vista back. I said I would do and use my disks of Vista OS (16 in total).

  Now, the fun is that it doesn't have the product key to its original copy of Vista so how I get it back?

  It had Vista installed on it before Linux, however based on a virus that Vista should be completely removed and Linux has been installed as an operating system that is temporary until we find Vista once again, since I'm the one with the OS disk, then we re-install it.

  So I'll be able to have my copy of Vista on two different computers?

  ALSO: Vista came with the computer when he brought it but no recovery disk (as they did with XP) has been provided.

  Hello

  1 No. you cannot use your product key on his computer and your computer: Installation is permitted with a license.

  And if yours is preinstalled (OEM license), you could not even give it Vista and consider your computer off.

  2. you can't find the product key for the operating systems pre-installed when the product key on the sticker is missing or lost; read this Information:

  The way around this is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send recovery discs to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

  While they are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the computer also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing them to save money.

  Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

• Windows 8 Beta - cannot verify the product key

  Hi all

  After you have installed Windows 8 beta last year on my laptop, I bought the upgrade to the full version of Windows 8 and received a product key by e-mail as part of the purchase or download.  Now, I'm trying to use the same disk of Windows 8 Beta to install the OS on my desktop.  After you enter the product key, I get a message saying "cannot verify the product key - check your installation media."

  Can someone explain why the beta key does not work and if I get a new key?

  Thank you

  No, you can't, but what you can do is, use the following link to download and create the installation media that you can use to upgrade other computers.

  Please note, if other computers are running versions of 32-bit or 64-bit, you will need to create a respective installation media corresponding to the architecture of the facilities running on these computers (32 or 64-bit):

  If you must reinstall Windows 8 or you want to install it on one partition and you do not have installation media, you can create it using the installer of Windows 8. To create a support, you must use a PC running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and it must have the same architecture (32 or 64-bit) than the PC you want to install Windows 8.1 on. You will also need your product key of Windows 8.

  You can usually find your product key in your online order information, in the confirmation email of your purchase, or on the DVD packaging. The product key will look something like this: XXXXX - XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

  Once you have your product key and you are on a PC running Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Run the program installation of Windows 8 .

  2. When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run

  3. When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1.

  4. When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1, select install by creating media and then click Next.

  Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.

  To create a USB flash drive

  1. Click on a USB flash drive.

  2. Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.

  3. When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.

     If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.

  To create a DVD

  1. Click on the ISO file, and then select the location where to save the ISO file.

  2. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.

  3. Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.

  Please note that you will have a unique individual license (product key) for each computer you want to upgrade.

• I can't read the product key on the bottom of the computer as it dissipated. How to find my product key?

  VISTA ACTIVATION PROBLEM

  EVERY MORNING

  IVE JUST HAD MY LAPTOP REPAIRED AND NOW IM BEING ASKED TO ACTIVATE IT!

  HOWEVER, I CAN'T READ MY STICKER PRODUCT KEY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LAPTOP

  WHAT CAN I DO?

  Kind regards

  NEIL

  Hello

  I would take it back to the workshop of repair and demand that they fix it properly and send it to you already reactivated.

  It is a way around it, but it's time and and maybe more money:

  As you can not read your product key on the label, we cannot help you get your product key (Key Finder programs will not solve it).

  The way around this is to contact your laptop manufacturer and ask them to send you recovery disks to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

  While you are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the laptop also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing you to save money.

  Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

  My advice, in order of preference:

  1. repair facility

  2. recovery of the process.

• How can I find the product key if the laptop was a gift?

  How can you find the product key if the laptop was a gift and you do not have a cd

  Hello

  If you are unable to retrieve the product key provided with the system then Windows communicate with the system
  Maker.

  Look at the lower/rear part computer and tape or disks that came with the unit.

  If the system is still running, you can use these to access your product key. These are not cracks, they
  only retrieve your existing key.

  One of them allows to recover your machine if possible.

• MS Office does not accept the product key and does not leave my type anything on Word documents

  I have windows 2007 edition vista Home premium and I neglected to enter my product key every time I opened a word document. I discovered that after 25 hours of opening ms Office it will not let type you anything on the document. I entered the 25-digit product key, that she had asked because I found on the label on the back of my lap top and every time I entered the code, he said that it was not valid. I double checked to make sure that I typed the numbers in the right order several times and it still does not accept it! I'm in the product key? I also tried the product ID and that no longer works. Help, please! Thank you!

  • Home Premium Windows Vista 2007
  • MS Word does not accept the product key
  • When you open MS Word, impossible to type anything

  You enter the incorrect product key. The product key on the back of your laptop is for the Vista operating system, no office. The office, which is preinstalled on your computer has a trial version. You can buy Office in order to continue using it. Then, you will get the Office product key.

  If your Vista is a functioning and activation of operating system Vista, use either of the program above to find out what is your product key.

  If a desktop computer: look on the side or the rear of the case for a sticker

  If a laptop: look for a sticker on the underside.
