Envy 15 t q300: activate Windows after add SSD

-Recently, I bought an mSATA SSD and add to my book. Now I want to reinstall Windows 10 in this SSD, my Windows 10 is now on the HARD drive. Windows will automatically activate once I installed windows SSD or what I can do to activate it? My settings shows that 10 Windows activation is enabled with a digital entitlement, what is?

-J' have a the HP USB recovery order, can I use it to install Windows 8.1 (my laptop came with Win 8.1) to my SSD?

-One last thing, in disk management, there 2 partitions hidden before Windows (C, healthy (recovery Partition) and healthy (EFI System Partition), which ones, and if I reinstall windows SSD my windows will work fine without these 2 partitions?) I deleted the recovery partition in my HARD using HP Recovery management disk but the healthy (recovery Partition) has not disappeared.

Excuse me for my English, I hope understand you.

Older versions of Windows offer a product key to activate Windows (as it is written on a sticker COST or built-in BIOS/UEFI).

Windows 10 offers another option, called right digital.

Probably, you had older versions of Windows and free upgrade to win 10. In order to keep your old version keys active Windows, Microsoft enabled Windows 10 using the new method. Win 10 has been activated using Windows 7 or 8 button, then this key would have been valid for the 2 versions of Windows (which is impossible).

More information about this new option:

Maybe you can get temporary, the computer HARD disk and reinstall Windows on the SSD drive. Then you can insert the HDD tray in and when everything is ready, you can format the HARD drive and use it as an extra.

If your computer came with Windows 8.1 or 7 preinstalled and later upgraded to Windows 10, you can use the recovery media to install the previous edition of Windows, and then upgrade to Windows 10

Alternatively, you can try to clone your disk SSD using a software like Clonezilla:

    I tried activation by telephone, but he always says "IT MUST BE A MISTAKE TECHNIQUE".

    To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

    If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  • Windows 8 Pro update product key cannot be used to activate Windows after an installed cleaning

    Hi guys,.

    I bought a Windows 8 Pro Upgrade and received the product key I used to download and run a clean install to my laptop using a USB Flash drive (format my HD then install). But now, in my new installed Windows 8, I can't use this product key to activate Windows as it says that the key is for an upgrade, not a clean install. I was not aware of this problem when I did the clean install. So, how can I activate my Windows now?

    It! s a upgrade, you need to UPGRADE your existing system. New installation is not supported. I'm sorry.

    This is simply not true.

    If you had a hardware problem and you will need to re - install Windows 8, you can do this by using installation media that the wizard allows you to create (or installation media that you ordered, if you chose to order discs).

    If you don't have installation media, you can re - install your older version of Windows and rerun the upgrade.

    Whatever it is, you will need the product key you received when you paid for Windows 8. If you choose to do a clean install of Windows 8 from the installation media, you will also need to call Customer Service for help activating your copy of Windows.

    Kind regards

  • HP Envy DV4 - impossible to activate Windows

    I have already contacted HP Invent that loop me with some other helpdesk that I loop back to invent which looped towards some other helpdesk who tried of me loop back to inventing.

    Anyway, the last time around the support guy (he says that his name is Steve) was very condescending and not offered any help and says it is for members only and was told that I don't have the know-how to reinstall an operating system.  Then, he began to hit the hold button, sent me to invent.

    Basically, a friend bought a laptop and got virus on it.  I went and reformat the hard drive and installed Windows 8.1 and have no way to activate it now, as there is no license key sticker anywhere to find.

    Now, I see that you are supposed to use the recovery option in Windows and invent and this other premium helpdesk can apparently do anything at this point.

    Is it possible to activate the point of Windows without having to buy another copy of Windows 8 retail?  Seems ridiculous that they would switch to this method to have a BIOS SLIC with an inserted key that you can not activate out of.

    Hello:

    I have an idea and see if it works...

    Download the drivers from this link below (first listed file - 64-bit).

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y & ProdId = 2101 & DwnldID = 23060 & Keyword = Intel + rapi...

    Extract the files on a usb flash drive.

    With the flash drive and the installation of W8 media plugged into the machine, boot from the installation of W8 media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and hopefully, W8 should install.

    A windows 8 sticker bottom so can only assume it is that it came with, but the demands of windows product key stored in the bios has been blocked and will not activate.

    Have you tried 8, 8pro and 8.1 without success.  is it possible that this machine came with the 'Bing' of windows version?

    Owner is not computer savy so can not believe he did anything to change the slic table in bios... same flashed with the latest version of the bios without change.

    After Googling the product key that is displayed 'xky4k-2nrwr-8f6p2-448rf-cryqh"using more than one product key tool, seems its written all over the internet.  What should be on this machine?

    Thanks for any help.

    It needs to be embedded into the BIOS firmware.

  • E5 - 571 is impossible to activate windows after using factory reset software

    Hi guys,.

    So I have an E5-571 I had to wipe with Acer recovery software. I choose the full erase option which reset my computer to factory conditions. Unfortunately, my computer is now always tells me that I need to activate my copy of windows. I used to Belarc advisor to get my product key, but Windows is say that the key didn't work. In addition, I bought a copy of Windows 8 Pro from my school and I tried this key and it did not work. Would purchase Acer recovery media and use that allow me to have an activated copy of windows? Or otherwise, if I installed Windows 8 of my school and used their product key, would this work?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    From your question, it seems that you have Windows pre-installed by Acer. If this is the case, we recommend to contact Acer support via the link below to get your Windows key:
