Faded to the Windows 7 product key sticker

I had to install a new hard drive on my laptop and did not have a Windows 7 installation disc Toshiba - laptop came with pre-installed software. The sticker of the product key on the base of the laptop is faded, so I used 3rd party software and extract the key from the registry. I downloaded an iso of Win 7 and used this product key and all very busy, and I used it successfully for the past few weeks. Now, it is said, I have 10 days to activate my product key is invalid for activation. I have read various threads that keep that product key recovered and used for the loading of Windows & is not suitable for activation, so I'm back to faded sticker. I figured out all but one the letters/numbers and wonder if I enter the product key sticker, and I guess that last number (I think it's a B, a 3 or an 8), if it turns out to cheat should I get another chance to enter the product key and try one of the other numbers/letters combinations? Thank you

You will never be able to activate a downloaded the ISO of Windows 7 with the key that came with the laptop. Your laptop came with a Toshiba OEM of Windows 7 version, and the ISO would be a commercial version.

You have to get a set of recovery discs from Toshiba or purchase the complete retail Windows 7 installation.

    If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

    You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

    They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

    Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.

  • How to get the Windows 7 product key?

    My friend laptop is broken and must be reformatted. It is an Acer and did not come with any CD. It doesn't have a partition on the hard drive for files to restore. I think that someone who may have removed it long ago.

    The computer came with Windows 7 preinstalled. He has a sticker at the bottom of the laptop, but the heat green product keys and other key wear is more readable.

    I have the same version of Windows, so I was going to just to use my DVD to install Windows on your computer, and then use the product key to activate it. So that Microsoft knows that it is a copy of geninue. The entire label is faded.

    I tried to find what is the product key and I'm not. I know it must be stored in the computer somewhere I need find and write it down so I can use the same product key when I reinstall Windows on his computer. I don't think that my product key will work on his computer.

    I've read online, you can get the product key from the registry, but I have no idea how to do that. I want to just make sure I can get the computer active again once that I format it.

    Thank you.

    You should be able to order from the manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (no key needed, because the OEM SLP key is incorporated)

  • I bought a laptop computer with non-genuine windows 7 I have the windows xp product key pro, etc. from the bottom of the laptop, but I do not have the windows xp pro cd.

    I bought a laptop computer with non-genuine windows 7. I have the original windows xp product key pro, etc. from the bottom of the laptop, but I do not have the windows xp pro cd.  Help me, please!

    You will need to either buy a version authentic retail Windows XP, with its key sales, to a true scource or visit the site of laptop manufacturers, support for your model and see what versions of win are taken care of, then buy a commercial version of this o/s.

    The key on the base of the laptop is the recovery key that requires that the recovery disks provided by the manufacturer.

    You could phone manufacturers to support to see if they have the origonal recovery cd send you, for which it maybe a small fee.

  • Windows 7 product key sticker damaged by normal use

    I have a G550 and the product key on the underside of the laptop has been worn.

    I created the recovery DVD but the last disk in the series has been damaged, I have a commercial version of W7 but this requires a product ID valid, which I did not.

    I had to erase the disc and it deleted the recovery partition and so I have the choice to buy Lenovo recovery media or to buy a new key and the media of M$.

    I noticed that there are already messages on the internet where people with the same laptop computer had exactly the same problem with the product ID sticker is damaged by normal use.

    I think that lenovo could do a little more to solve this problem because even laminate the sticker would have been enough to save me all the hassle it caused

    I can confirm that the key to the key will work... But probably you need activate windows by phone.

    Suggestion?

    Activate your copy of Windows, use ABR (Google a bit) then save the activation files somewhere safe. You can still use ABR to restore your activation after each installation, since it is material specific .

    It's always a good idea to have a backup of the license, even if your computer works OK, so far
