• Windows 7 used product key sticker

  The product key of Windows 7 on the sticker attached to the bottom of my laptop is worn and not readable.  The HARD drive crashed and I need to install a new one.  I can't boot from the existing HARD drive - but I can retrieve files from the disk using Recuva.  Is there a way I can get the product from a file recovered key?  Can I use the HP model and serial number to find the key to OEM product somewhere?  I'll need when I install the new drive.

  Hello:

  Unfortunately there is no way to get a replacement product key or to retrieve the key from the HARD disk.

  Even if you could, you wouldn't be able to use to activate the windows installation.

  Your only option short of buying a new operating system to full version (OEM or retail) is to order a recovery disc for your PC game, if they are still available.

  AFAIK, a product key is not required when you use the HP factory recovery disks.  I've never had to enter a product key when using them.

  Please look at the recovery disc guide commands on the link below.

  In my view, the windows license is linked to your motherboard. You can install / reinstall windows XP with the same license / product key that its meant to be on the same computer n number of times.

• Faded to the Windows 7 product key sticker

  I had to install a new hard drive on my laptop and did not have a Windows 7 installation disc Toshiba - laptop came with pre-installed software. The sticker of the product key on the base of the laptop is faded, so I used 3rd party software and extract the key from the registry. I downloaded an iso of Win 7 and used this product key and all very busy, and I used it successfully for the past few weeks. Now, it is said, I have 10 days to activate my product key is invalid for activation. I have read various threads that keep that product key recovered and used for the loading of Windows & is not suitable for activation, so I'm back to faded sticker. I figured out all but one the letters/numbers and wonder if I enter the product key sticker, and I guess that last number (I think it's a B, a 3 or an 8), if it turns out to cheat should I get another chance to enter the product key and try one of the other numbers/letters combinations? Thank you

  You will never be able to activate a downloaded the ISO of Windows 7 with the key that came with the laptop. Your laptop came with a Toshiba OEM of Windows 7 version, and the ISO would be a commercial version.

  You have to get a set of recovery discs from Toshiba or purchase the complete retail Windows 7 installation.

• The Windows product key sticker has disappeared and cannot use it to activate

  Windows product key sticker is missing at the bottom of my laptop and I can't do some of the latest figures, my laptop computer manufacturer did not provide any hardware Windows 7 or a disk and I contacted them and they won't help. My windows 7 is actually owner I have the sticker on the bottom of my laptop as evidence, can I send this to microsoft to help out me? also note, I had problems with my laptop and realizing that the hard drive has indeed not my old windows 7 installed and the hard drive is faulty, it cannot be extracted, that is the reason why I have a problem.

  your manufacturer would have provided a recovery partition on your hard drive to recover windows. If your hard disk does not and you can't read your key, you will probably need to order from your manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (no key needed, because the OEM SLP key is embedded).

  Try a bright light and a good magnifying glass to read your product key.

• Product ID of Windows Vista-Home Premium 2007 Service Pack 2 is with an OEM product key.

  Hello & thanks to anyone who reads this message & can help.

  It's what I've done all I wanted to do was to change my old email address on my windows mail to another email address.

  I contacted my internet provider technical support to change the addresses e-mail & settings so I was able to access the e-mail address that I wanted to use windows mail. They tried their new settings, they recently tried, but had no luck, so they have tried using their old/normal parameters & always been unlucky? He kept coming up with an error for the two parameters & not could not send the test email that he was trying to send back to me.

  My internet provider tech support guy said, maybe I had a virus (that I know that I don't have), or maybe something wrong with my settings for windows mail or something is wrong with windows or the program & contact line of microsoft support.

  Microsoft technical support said they cannot help me because I have an OEM product key & if I wanted to get help through windows I had to pay money to get help or contact with this site I am trying now.

  I don't know what I would do in the future? I always update my laptop with the updates of windows/microsoft who cross & always am aware constantly check & make all my microsoft security essentials for updates & scans?

  I hope someone can help me with my problem & understand what I wrote?

  I have to update my system or programs to have & to the best software/programs & do what I originally planned to do with my emails?

  My laptop Windows is too old?

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As Vista is preinstalled on your computer (OEM license), Microsoft charges you for support if you use them. They had good reason to send you to the Microsoft answers Forums

  The way you must have Windows Mail put in place is to use the e-mail address and other parameters as your ISP (Internet Service Provider) gives you; not an e-mail address that you want to use.

  They are the ones that provide all the information for you.

  You need them: parameters Username, Password, mailserver and mail out Servier

  Here is the information from Microsoft on how to set up Windows Mail:

  You don't say which is your Internet access provider.

  Hello

  Your laptop came with Windows 8 64-bit Core edition
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03743644

  It doesn't matter what you are currently using.

  The product key of Windows 8 is integrated into the BIOS chip. B. I installed Windows 8.1 update in a few of my laptop Windows 8 using the tutorial.

  This means that the reason why the method above does not work, or you didn't follow correctly, either the key of your BIOS is corrupted.

  I suggest you follow the tutorial without delay. Download the media creation tool & later the edition appropriate Windows 8.1 ISO according to the edition of Windows 8 installed on your laptop. For example. Single language edition Core (SL) 8.1 Windows 64 bits.

  Disable secure boot & enable in the BIOS:

  Make USB bootable ISO downloaded and a clean install of the operating system by booting from it.
