• Install and activate Windows by using the OEM product key

  I had some issues with UEFI on my system and went to a local store because there is no support for acer in my country and the guy local flash my bios to a version not uefi-uefi. I read in an article that the product key of my windows preinstalled has been in the bios. I used some how a VB script that I found on a Web site for my product which is activated key. (1) can I still use this product key? I run the recovery disk utility and made a usb key as well as the recovery partition recovery. (2) can I use the product key with the usb of recovery in the case where my left hard drive system are also formatted?

  Original title: product key

  Why the BIOS was flashed to an older version?

  There is no WIndows 7 OEM embedded product key so I don't know what that means.  I asked you to run two programs to compare the key OEM of Windows 8 - reported BIOS.  We aren't interested here in another key said except OEM BIOS.  They match?  If none is reported, then it was erased with the BIOS flash.

  You can contact the technical support from the manufacturer to ask how to recover your key.

  I don't think it will reactivate without the key included if you reinstall.

  However when he is currently enabled so what I would do is follow Clean install Windows 10 Upgrade

  in order to ensure the free update now before its expiration July 31, then you will have permanent right to the PC for Windows 10 in Activation of MS servers outside any key of WIndows 8.

  First, you can do the installation to another partition, that you reduce c in Disk Mgmt, as long as you start the media during installation to select the new partition, then look after installation to see if it is active Windows 8 on the drive and if so feel safe remove Windows 8 when it is ready (or not).  Until then, use the Dual Boot menu at startup to choose.

  That's what I would do in your place and the sooner the better.   If the built-in product key was wiped out during the BIOS flash and technical support from the manufacturer won't help you, your best bet is to secure free Windows 10 Upgrade for the rest of the life of the PC.  The link provides the best install and has not reported complaints in total tens of thousands of people have used it.

• Where can I download Windows 8 unilingual and find product key when it is preinstalled on a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop computer?

  I bought a laptop Dell with Windows 8 pre installed language. There is no sticker on the laptop product key, so I don't have access to the product key. Does anyone know where to find the product key, I want to do a clean install and get rid of all the crapware? and how do I download Windows 8 single language?

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  How to reinstall Windows 8 on your Dell computer.

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

• Can we recover Windows with a laptop purchase product key?

  Dear developers,

  My sister's laptop had facial recognition of a Lenovo defined as the unique account password. Setting up the computer for her, the computer took note of my face instead of Siena, and therefore she could not find a way to connect. It was completely locked and I was outside the borders of the country, I could not help.

  She then helped with an illegal copy of Windows, an excerpt from the developers of windows 8, which was very unstable. The laptop has the sticker for the true of the product key Windows 7 but funny thing is, the key is the only bit of impression that faded. (Maybe Microsoft knew what they were doing, cause win 8 laptops do not come with the product key on the label). I can provide all the information on the laptop, same serial number, the only thing I can provide are the product key.

  My reason for writing is to ask if it is possible to recover the Windows 7 installed on his laptop computer by the manufacturer. If so, that the investigation would go to? Microsoft or Lenovo?

  Try to use the key recovery option a Lenovo.

• Windows 7 Home Premium invalid product key.

  Hi all!

  Hope you can help me out here. I have an old Dell Inspiron 1525 with 7 Home Premium.

  I had to do a repair reinstall because of virus issues, and every time I try to activate windows it says that my product key is not valid. I tried online with automated phone activation and with an agent of the customer on the line, nothing helps.

  I have the portable authentication certificate delivered with and I was wondering if there is information which could be used to verify my product, or is there anything else I can do to check this version of 7?

  Thanks in advance!

  Thanks for your help, everyone! In fact, I managed to get the product key to work when I tried again. No idea of what makes the difference, but it's great to have such a mass of knowledge here.

  Thanks again!

• Can I activate Windows with a cd MAR key while using an OEM drive?

  MAR CD key, OEM disc

  The PC has been a repairer authorized Microsoft, and a product key of MAR on the side panel of the tower.  However, the disk hard out crapped and does not come with discs to re - install windows.  I have a windows XP Professional OEM drive, which is what the OS was when I got the computer.  In any case, MAR product key will not work with the OEM version installed from the disc I have.  I have no idea where to get a drive that will work with the key to the MAR, is there a way that Microsoft can upgrade the MAR touch to an OEM or retail so I can activate Windows?  Or at least I can activate this Windows again?

  If you have the key that works with the OEM disc, use it for installation only - do not activate.

  After the installation of Windows, use the official Microsoft product key Changer tool to update your product key and activate Windows.

  =================================

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.
