Cannot reactivate Windows 7

After that my computer is slow to a point where it took 8 + minutes to start at a point where he was sensitive to the entrance, I decided to re - install Windows. After the installation is complete, I tried to put in my machine provided with the product key (the operating system has been installed by the manufacturer of the machine), but I got error 0xC004E003 during an attempt to do so. I did some more research and read that I had to go to the prompt run and type in "slui.exe 4", and then select my country and what not. However, when I try to do, I get a popup saying "The Windows 7 Professional product key you typed is invalid for activation" and all that I am given are the following three options:

  • Buy a new product key online
  • Type a different product key
  • Contact Microsoft to help solve this problem
Select the last option just opens help and Support, and suggests that I have use Remote Assistance or come to this site.
I use the same version of Windows that came with this (Windows 7 Professional x 64) machine. I did 3 days for re - turn on and I have no idea how to do to get this phone number that I need to contact a Microsoft REP any help is appreciated. Thank you.

If the original installation was provided with the old computer, then it is probably an OEM license. So this cannot be reused on any other system OEM licenses are tied to the motherboard 1 it is installed on.

The recovery media will include a built-in key that will fail to automatic activation and will not activate manually. If you want someone to confirm this download the Microsoft MGADiag tool and paste the result here.

Your only option would be to buy keys, media and new software.

  • Cannot reactivate windows after attempting to migrate desktop for Mac

    Hello. My question is this. I used to use a PC, but now I have a Mac. I wanted to be able to access my old configuration, files and programs via the mac PC. I was recommended an app called "Parallel Desktop". I downloaded a demo and followed the instructions: I have "migrated" 30 gigabytes of info from my old PC to the Mac and tried to replicate my old office through a "virtual machine". Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the windows installation. It does not accept the certificate of authenticity. I tried to solve the problem by phone, but has been disconnected once (by someone claiming that their system was down) and rejected a second time (a machine who kindly directed me to this site).

    So I wanted to ask: is there a way for me to be able to 'migrate' my office like claim in parallel? Is it a hoax? Is there a problem with the certificate of authenticity I use, which never gave me any problems before?

    thanx

    Is there a problem with the certificate of authenticity I use, which never gave me any problems before?

    If it came pre-installed, then Yes. OEM of Windows versions cannot be transferred to another machine...

    I am trying to install a new printer, and to do that I know I have to disable firewall settings. I try, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?

    I tried to go into Windows and change the settings of the firewall, but I get the same message.

    I also tried to run an update of the Windows security updates, but same message.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated?

    Thank you

    HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

    Hi Winston/Hewlit,

    Thank you both for your advice.
    While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
    After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
    Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.

    Hello

    Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    Why my iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) cannot run Windows 10 in boot camp? And if he can't, he would work in something like parallels?

    To be honest, Windows 10 is compatible with your Mac, but Apple does not release from Windows 10 drivers for it. There are various guides on the Internet to install the drivers for Boot Camp Windows 10 even if your Mac is not supported, but follow them at your own risk (don't forget that you won't receive help to make).

    However, you are free to run Windows 10 on a virtual machine. To do this, you can use Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox, but remember that a virtual machine will give you less performance than Windows natively on your iMac. Read-> Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

    Hey,.

    And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
    Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

    Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

    It offers the possibility of:
