Envy 17 t-j000: Win8 activation key lost in envy 17 t-j000

I had a disk error hard mbr and couldn't get my laptop to come.

I had to go to the recovery partition and restore the laptop to how when purchased in July 2013.

I ordered the laptop directly from hp and it has no key Windows 8 in email, or on laptop computer anywhere.

I don't see any key listed in the bios.

I spoke to microsoft and they would not give me the key and said to contact hp. Because my laptop is out of warranty, I see no option of compensation talk hp. my desire is not in the chat list.

any ideas on what is the best way to recover my activation key for win8 or who to contact?

OK worked the #5 option in the link.  run the vbs file gave me the key to the eprom.

only problem I already upd to 8.1 victory that the activation key is not good for.  then after doing hours of restorations for the fully loaded computer, says MS I'll need to try to load the iso dvd 8.0 and try to activate in 8.0.

They do not sound too sure if this will work, but I have to try something or purchase a new license

  • How to get the lost activation key

    my computer is installed with windows original 8. When I tried to upgrade to windows pro it asks activation key. but I have the original product key, but I lost my activation key. How can I get my activation code.

    Go to the order summary page, you can find your product key:

    https://www.mswos.com/

    If Windows 8 came preininstalled on your computer:

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  • loss of activation key for a reinstallation of Windows XP sp2 cd. P/N KY938 rating

    Hello. I used a (Ms Win XP Pro Sp 2) dell reinstallation CD to format my laptop (it came with the laptop). later, I discovered that I had lost the activation key. I can't activate it online cos it keeps asking for the key. Please, can someone help me? It's pretty urgent!
    the disc has a notation ' P/N KY938' down, and it's under Copyright 2007 MS corporation. .. more! God bless u!

    If you install a Dell supplied CD/DVD restore on Dell computer that it shipped with it should never ask the COA/key... The only time where I came across a plant from a Dell CD/DVD requiring a COA/key is because it has been installed on the non-Dell hardware. He has scoped during the installation of the system on which it was delivered with.

    I don't think that Dell will sell you a new set with installation of COST but can Microsoft. Not sure about the cost.

    In the case of a computer from a major manufacturer contact them via their web site.  Many have recovery media low cost for just the situation you encounter.  Also they can cause (however unlikely) a new product key to replace the one that has rubbed off.  If all else fails see also: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246
  • Windows activation key is do not qualify

    Previous post stated that I could not locate Windows Vista activation key. I found the key, when I enter it I get the message "Software Licensing Service reported that the license evaluation failed. Suggestions please.

    Before this AM, I had no problem, the computer is almost 4 years now. This AM, I received a disk error message and the computer "repaired" himself. Now I get the message that Windows is not activated.

    The key on the COA sticker on your computer is not really designed for activation. It's just a technical formality. Computer manufacturers main Windows installations come pre-activated by using what we call 'SLP' aka the pre-activation locked system. This system uses the computer's BIOS, a special OEM key and a special certificate of OEM to activate the computer. If any of these items are deleted, corrupted, damaged, or changed... Windows may ask to reactivate, as he lost his pre-enabled state.

    Without recover your computer to a factory State, it can be difficult to get the system re-activated. Using the HP Recovery Manager or HP recovery to the recovery disks, the computer will be solove this question, but you will need to re-install all your software-at the factory, the updates of Windows and also back up and restore your personal data.

  • Help please - recover Vista Activation key

    The two HARD drives on my son Jonathan HP laptop recently became corrupt and then dead beyond resuscitation (according to two disc test utilities).

    A few years ago, we bought the laptop for him.  I removed the wrong drive and formatted backup drive (because there are corrupted files), and since it does not create the rescue disks, I installed my old copy of Vista Home Premium 64.  The computer that I installed initially this O.S. has since been wiped and a new copy of Windows 7 was installed.

    The sticker with the original serial number / activation key # on the back of the laptop of Jonathan carried through beyond being readable.  However, the serial number of HP is still readable.

    1. How can I retrieve the original key to the original installation of Vista 64 Home Premium?

    1. work this key with the installation of my Vista installation disc anymore?

    2. If an answer to Q1 is not available, can I use my older disk of Vista 64 Home Premium laptop of Jonathan key successfully can continue to receive vital updates?

    3. If the answers to both 1 & 2 are negative, Microsoft will release a new key/activation code, and if so, where should I go to acquire it?

    Thanks in advance for any help on this!

    Hello

    Microsoft will not replace your lost on an HP machine pre-installed product key

    support comes from HP for this computer not microsoft

    If a computer came preinstalled vista dell HP etc it is selected as an OEM license and is linked to the original computer it is installed on and is not transferable

    When the computer dies dies of windows with her license

    He bought a retail vista license yourself it is transferable

    but you must still know the product key

    and it can only be installed on a computer at any time

    but as you never said what kind of vista licenses you have read the above and decide what licenses you have

    and if the hard drive has been wiped and the product key sticker is unreadable we cannot help you recover a product key

    If your son's computer came with preinstalled vista application to HP you send for her recovery disks

    normally is not required during their use product key entry

    BUT ask 1 HP

  • Get the new activation key

    I bought a copy of windows 7 ultimate Windows.com/genuine after having received a notice that my copy of windows was not authentic. I bought the new activation key for almost $300 and they also sent me an installation CD where I never had to perform a reinstallation. Well my hard drive crashed and I had to purchase and install a new one, which meant the reinstallation of windows. However, I found that in some way I lost my activation code and the cover of the CD that Microsoft sent me contained not one. I called Microsoft support several times to get the reprinted to me activation key. I spent many hours being transferred from one Department to the other until they began to transfer me to the same departments several times. I have my order number, address that was sent to the, date of purchase and all. They can see my order but they can't access information on this topic for a reason, and they issue me a new code. At this point, I'm really upset because I spent a lot of money on this software only to be told that I can't use it. In addition to all this Microsoft has absolutely no way to file a complaint. I am at a loss to know what to do. The only option that Microsoft gives me is to buy a new code, but there is no way I'm paying twice for the same product, I just assumed never to use a Microsoft product to new to be dressed like that. If someone has experienced something similar, I would be grateful for help on how to get this sorted out. Thank you!
