• Need help, can't activate Windows 8 Pro on HP 3125

  I got a netbook HP 3125 which has an AMD E2 APU, 4 GB ram, 320 HARD and Windows 8 Pro disc and would use for about a month and well. Recently, I decided to update my ram and anything by doing this, I also decided to upgrade to an SSD HARD drive.

  I changed the HARD drive out and installed the SSD, but the BIOS doesn't detect so I disabled the Secure Boot, boot enable Legacy and then proceed to installing a custom installation of Windows 8 Pro using a USB key.

  After installation, it asked me a product key, which I find it weird because Windows 8 does not come with product key labels, since it is built into the bios.

  My problem is, how do I activate my Windows 8 Pro, when it keeps asking me for a product key that I don't have?

  Also, I noticed in the BIOS, it is sometimes called 'Key to load HP factory default', but I can only do this when secure startup is enabled.

  Embedded product key Windows 8 has something to do with the secure boot, for example, if the Secure Boot is disabled, then Windows 8 will not activate?

  Thank you

  Woot! I got it to work!

  Secure boot has nothing to do with the activation of Windows 8 or not with the COA embedded (product key) which is in the bios.

  Here's what I did, just note that this method may not be appropriate measures, but it still works. And different systems configurations, may require different or additional measures. Also, this method may or may not work with all systems.

  for example, the brand or the system you may or may not work with the steps posted in this thread.

  If you have a Windows 8 with a product key that is located on a sticky label, this does not apply to you. It's only for those who have purchased a brand name with Windows 8 system, and it does not come with a sticker product key.

  Components used in this tutorial

  -3125 Netbook HP: AMD E2/6 GB/Intel of the Commission 330 120 GB SSD/F27 bios (later at the time of this tutorial)

  -Microsoft Windows 8 Professional 64-bit (original) disc

  -SATA to USB 3.0 adapter

  -Lite-ON SATA DVD Writer

  1. turn on the system and press F10 to go into the Bios

  2. in the bios, go to trial system > Boot Options

  3. go to Secure Boot and disable it

  4. Select clear all Secure Boot key and enter the 4-digit confirmation code

  5. then go to support HP Factory Default Keys, select it and press Yes

  6. save the Bios and output

  7. Press F10 and return in the Bios

  8. go to the System Configuration > Start Options

  9. select Legacy Support and activate it. A warning message appears, saying that this may cause the operating system to boot, just ignore it and press Yes.

  Now you should see the following text:

  Legacy support = on and key = registered platform

  10 save the Bios and output

  11 insert the disc of Windows 8 for the DVD player and release the boot drive order by pressing F9

  12. the driver, select start from the EFI file and press on enter

  A window opens, showing the HDD/SSD and DVD player with a unique code next to each hardware device

  13. Select EFI sector DVD and press ENTER.

  14. then select , , Bootx64.EFI. After that it will be white and then asked at the start of the DVD.

  15. Press any key to boot from the DVD. If it's done correctly, you will see a HP start-up logo

  16. once the DVD has finished initializing, will appear on the screen of configuration of Windows 8. Click next

  17. accept the EULA and then select custom installation

  18. create a new partition on the disk that you want to install the operating system.

  Note: Windows will create 3 additional partitions, as well as for the installation of the OS. What makes the drive as GPT.

  19 install Windows 8

  20. after the installation and customization of personal settings. Go to control panel > system and you will see

  Windows 8 is activated.

  You can either enable or disable Secure Boot in the bios, as it has no effect on the question of whether or not the operating system will boot. I tried the two enable Secure Boot and disabled, the two parameters allows me the startup of the operating system.

  As Intel 330 SSD, I got two of them and both have no problem running Windows 7 or Windows 8.

  ACHI is necessary if you want to enable TRIM that optimized the SSD automatically when you have to.

  If the TRIM does not work, then it must rely on a Garbage Collection.

  To turn off the SSD on Windows 7, schedule defrag because this will reduce the life expectancy of the SSD

  Windows 8 should because it will recognize if it of a SSD or not. If this is the case, then it will send the TRIM command.

• Can't activate windows xp pro after re install

  I tried again to install windows xp professional on 7 laptops and none of them will be activated. They are in a school and have a volume of education license. I went through activating by phone and it says can not activate. I then spoke to someone at this number who said I had to pay $110 plus tax to fix the problem. I'm at a complete loss as to why they don't will not activate if I have a valid volume license.

  Hello

  I looked towards the top of the Volume License product key, and I don't see anything extraordinary.  The key is blocked Activation but it is normal that the key to Volume license older XP given that these license keys of Volume more circumvented the need to activate.

  Microsoft has created new Volume license key when it was found that Activation Bypass Volume keys (time when the internet became big) are so easy to hack someone leaking just the key to the internet. However, as far as I understand it, the older keys are still valid as long as they were not sunk or abused. I searched the internet for this key and the key does not seem to have been disclosed.

  As for the message 'not installed Validation control' Windows XP came not with the genuine Validation feature "baked in" at the launch.  The Genuine Advantage Notification update adds Validation controls to XP (user does not have to install the update, it's purely optional).  The user can also simply go to http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate , the user will be prompted to install the Validation controls and then the online Validation will take place.

  At this point I see nothing suspicious on the Volume of this user license key, and also long as on-line Validation returns as authentic, I believe that the key is valid and authentic.

• HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC: Can't activate Windows 8 Pro after a factory reset (hard drive reformatted).

  Hello:

  I had to make a drastic clean the C drive of my ENVY 17 laptop and did a Factory Reset. I was able to reload Windows 8 Pro to my USB stick recovery.

  However, Windows 8 Pro cannot be reactivated indicating that the product key is invalid or blocked. I understand that this is due to having the OS completely cleaned and formatted drive.

  My questions are:

  1. Will be the HP (which is available on order) recovery disks be able to help solve the situation described above?
  2. It will allow me to reactivate my Windows 8 Pro?
  3. Will the recovery be HP discs/media contain or are marked with the correct Windows product key?

  Thank you

  Rico.

  Solved! HP technical support took care of me Thank you so much.

• How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

  How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

  Hello

  It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.

  If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.

  PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.

  Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.

  Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.

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

  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/   <-->

  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.

  Where can I download Windows 7 Pro ISO? I have the product key

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
