Door activation key

I've been down these forums & could not find a clear answer from 100% to my questions, so I'll detail my situation here as briefly as possible. Several years ago I bought a cheap obsolete Cyberpower 'gaming' PC of Newegg. Now, I've reached the point where I have to improve so bad I'll essentially building a new computer. Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 came preinstalled on here & I have never really used the disk for a re - install. It is worth noting that I probably won't be able to afford a new OS or same product key as the price of construction of a new budget PC dated so quickly become used to turn already too high.

1: Can I re-use this drive on the new PC I have build & will be the activation key of the work?

2: I have to start by disable on this PC activation key before you activate on the new?

3: I should rather clone my HARD drive with the win 7 install on the SSD, I intend to buy it, then swap my current card mother, CPU & GPU for the new?

You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  • Activation key

    Hi all

    I just want to know where can I get the activation key for the 8.1 of Windows that comes with the
    HP laptop 15-r011dx. Generally, the key is located at the bottom of the laptop, but this time it didn't this sticket. I only have Windows 8 logo sticker.
    I tried the upgrade from 8.1 to 8.1 Pro to see if there is a big difference from the Pro 8.1. But when I tried to restore using the recovery again, he would not return to the purchased 8.1.

    Any help is very appreciated

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    Windows 8/8.1 computers have their keys Win grouped in the BIOS. They do not come with WCC tights and distinct keys. Once you make an HP system recovery, system will get his key and will be activated. HP and every seller is entitled to share the key.

    Now, the problem occurs because you seem to fail to make the recovery of the system.

    Please, read this detailed article = > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03489643/ and read the right way to do system recovery. If something happened, and the hidden recovery partitions are destroyed, you may need HP drives recovery or your own recovery discs.  Where you need to buy HP recovery discs, you can contact the HP Support for this request:

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-contact-us.html

    Please, feel free to post again if something is not clear. I'll do my best to help you.

    After installing windows update, system error occurred indicating that Windows 7 Build 7600 is not authentic. Cannot locate the product code for verification, the smeared tag. How can I get the original product code used to build this laptop?

    Hello

    HP will not keep a copy of your key of Activation of Windows, nor will Microsoft – however using your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system (if you need to) won't require this key...

    You can try a third party application like the one on the link below to find your activation key.

    http://www.magicaljellybean.com/KeyFinder/

    The first thing I would say is to see if you can reactivate Windows using the method 'phone' on the link below.
