Envy 15 - sticker missing with the Windows key

Where is the Windows product key sticker?

I looked under the battery.  Open service Bay to watch under the hard drive and look at the back of the Bay door.

Hello

If you purchased a machine shipped with Windows 8, there is no COA label as the product activation key is integrated in the chip of the bios - see the article on the following link.

http://reviews.CNET.com/8301-33642_7-57554240-292/Windows-8-moves-to-BIOS-based-product-keys/

You can still read her entry in the registry key, using an application such as the example below.

    Hey Bjarnikr

    If you have already reinstalled vista and you don't know the product key we can not help you

    If you had contacted these forums before you reinstalled vista we helped you with key finder programs

    but as this is a new installation of vista not activated we cannot help you find the product key

    If it is preinstalled, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your computer and ask them about recovery disks

    normally, they do not require you to select a product key when you use them to reinstall vista

    you don't say how you reinstalled vista

    and a vista license = a vista installation

    and the oem licenses cannot be transferred to another machine

    the retail license can be transferred, but that only one installation per license is allowed at any time

  • Sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable

    Hello Toshiba Help Center

    Please help me solve this problem

    Three years ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba with Windows Vista preinstalled. I also received a DVD with her recovery. I now want to reinstall Windows and completely format the hard drive - however, the sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable. So what I did...

    unreadable...

    Is it possible to get it back by, my laptop series No, or...
    Best regards, TOSHIBA
    IM bluebird.jeff

    Hello, Jeff

    At first, I must say that it is not toshiba Help Center, but user forum created by Toshiba, so if you wait for the response from Toshiba people here you are in the wrong place.
    In any case, in this forum, you can pick up some very useful information and a lot of people here can help you with your problems.

    Return to described the issue.
    Unfortunately you do not understand how it works with the product key and Windows Setup, so I'll try to help you with this.
    Each computer toshiba laptop comes with preinstalled operating system (recovery image) and the product key at the bottom of your laptop belongs to this version. With other words: when you buy the new laptop, you have to pay for hardware, operating system and a license for this preinstalled OS. Product key at the bottom is not a kind of universal product key and cannot be used for activation of another version of Windows.

    You can use the delivered Toshiba recovery disc that contains mage replicated several times and each time you will have activated the operating system. When you use the Microsoft disk for the installation of the OS you must have valid product key which belongs to this particular version.

    In your case product key is for Vista, and you cannot use it for Win7 activation. This product key is... unnecessary.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • I would like to know how to re - install windows on a laptop with the product key on the back of the laptop.

    install windows with the product key

    someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.

    or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.

    I thank you for your time and have a good day.

    If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition.  If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation.  At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.

    If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.

    You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

    If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

  • I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro after a hard disk crash. Sent product key Microsoft form with the Windows disk is invalid.

    Some time ago I bought a computer with Windows XP pre-installed.  I have not received a CD with it.  At one point, during an update Windows online, I learned that the copy of Windows was not authentic, and the place I bought it from was out of business.  I then bought Windows XP Pro Microsoft online and went through the update of product with the Windows product key update tool and ran OK from there.
    Well, my HDD recently crashed, and I started to install the Windows XP Pro purchased CD on a new hard drive.  The installation was asked to enter the 25-digit product key, I found that the unique product key sent with the CD has been a key 20 digits in this format; Product key: SKU:B7P - 00005 KEY01:xxxxx - xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-CD2.   (The x are just for the format).

  • Windows Vista 64-bit version purchased, can 32 bits be installed with the same key?

    Configure a computer for a friend using the version 64-bit of Windows Vista, not knowing its processor's crashing issues with 64 bit... would it not possible to rebuild and get a copy of 32-bit by using the same key via download or something? (I'll killdisk his computer so I'm sure it will not be saved, but I'm not sure.)

    Thanks for the replies!

    * original title - 64-bit version of Windows Vista purchased, has not work.__Can I install 32 bit with the same key? (Another was deleted, so it's is more approved I think). *

    Hello

    1. you have a 64-bit processor on your computer?
    2 have you installed the correct drivers 64 bit?

    When you bought Windows Vista, if it came with two versions of the operating system, a 32-bit installation DVD and an installation DVD 64 bits, then you would be able to use the
    same product key. Even if the 32-bit version should work with a 64-bit version of Windows, chances are the 64-bit version will perform better, because it was designed for a
    64-bit version of Windows.

  • How identify which windows Vista worm was installed with the product key

    I have a laptop that someone put windows XP on it. It came factory thew with Windows Vista and has the product key on the bottom of the laptop. But I don't know which Ver of Vista the key code to go with. I want to get the right NVA and install it. Is there a way to know which version of windows Vista to go popular with the product key code.

    Thank you

    Mike

    You can't say the product key.  If you use an Installation of Vista genuine disc it will install its own version to know the product key when you are prompted to enter (all versions of the same size of the bit are included on the authentic disc).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - what is - this OA in the license tag? Is it possible to install the OS [Home premium] 64-bit with the same key?

    1 What is OA in the license tag
    2. is it possible to install the OS [Home premium] 64-bit with the same key.

    Hi adil13,

    Adding to reply TrekDozer,

    1 original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Activation is also known under the name of OA. It's basically OEM activation of basic input/output system (BIOS) - which means that they have already activated and you don't need to enter the key and activate yourself.

    2. you will only be able to activate a copy of Windows 7 with the number of product key used for 64-bit or 32-bit version at the same time, not both. It will allow only a copy installed with him to be activated. If you try to do it on both versions 32/64-bit, you will probably get the message that your product key is already in use or The Windows 7 product key you typed is invalid for activation .

    I hope this helps!
