• Windows product key doesn't work is not for the reinstallation of Windows 7

  So my Lenovo (B560) became super slow and I want to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows 7. But when I looked on the Microsoft Web site and tried to check my key I received the following message is displayed:

  "The product key you have entered seems to be the software that was preinstalled by the manufacturer of the device. Contact the manufacturer of the device for software recovery options.

  The product key that I used was the COA sticker under the laptop which was indeed different from one I receovered from the register. In any case, I tried both and none worked.

  Ideas for how can I proceed?

  You must install OEM Lenovo recovery disks or a recovery partition to use the key.

• Cannot find product key Vista Business

  Several years ago, I bought and installed Vista Business Upgrade on my HP XP system.  I now need to re - install on this system, but somehow the product key has been lost.  I bought MS Vista Business DVD.  The product key I stuck on the booklet is not for Vista but for OUTLOOK and of course does not work.  Is it possible to get a key for my legal DVD?

  Thank you.

  E the key must be in the packaging in which the DVD came - or if you have purchased an OEM copy, you should have stuck the label on the case of the machine on which it was installed.

  If you can't find it, but the machine still works the operating system, use Belarc Advisor to retrieve the key.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  I would like to ask you:

  • Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?

  If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.

  If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.

  Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.

• How can I find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium (preinstalled) as sticker has worn through.

  Someone knows if the product key is stored in any file on windows.  Or does anyone know if Microsoft will have kept no record of the product key and can send information.

  The short answer is no.

  Even if a product key is stored in Windows and can be retrieved by various utilities third keyfinder, when Windows was preinstalled, this key is a special key used by the manufacturer of the computer to automatically activate Windows when, for example, you use the manufacturer method to restore the computer to its factory condition.
