• Have Windows 7 COA but not the product key

  I bought Windows 7 Professional during a promotion that has Microsoft for students in the fall of 2009.  I ordered a backup for Windows 7 disk, the certificate of authenticity, but not the product key.  The key has been sent by e-mail, but is now over.  When I try to look it up on the site of Microsofts Digital River, most of the links related to Windows 7 is broken.  Is there anyway that I can get my product key recovered or replaced if I have the certificate of authenticity located on the packaging of the backup drive?

  Thank you!

  If you still have this copy of Windows 7 installed, you can try to recover the product key:

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium installed on my laptop and Internet Explorer stops constantly.  I went to Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner to perform a scan of my system, and it tells me that the scan does not work because I don't have Windows Vista or Windows 7.  I'm confused.

• I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

  * Original title: get the product key

  I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

  Hello

  Your question is not very clear to understand.

  If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

  There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

  How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

  Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

  Try Amazon.com, etc.

  ___________________________________________________________

  And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

  You tell us what type of license you have.

  If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

  License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

• I have Windows 7 genuine, but I get messages saying that this computer is not running genuine Windows

  I get the message of Windows Activation technologies "this computer is not running Windows" for the last few days. When I click on 'Set online now' it takes me on the Microsoft site and offers I buy the new sofware. My Windows 7 is genuine and has been installed on my Sony Vaio again, so obviously I don't want to buy it again. After reviewing on community support area, I saw that MGADiag generates a report that could help solve the problem and it is copied below. Any help would be welcome.
