I have my product key, but not the cd of windows!
Greetings to all!
OK, 2 years ago, I bought my laptop. He gave me the laptop but he gave me the windows cd so I can format it and I was pretty beginner do not ask. The thing is that the laptop has the product key (25 digit code) on the real sticker on the back side of the laptop. Then... I want to format my laptop... What are my choices because I don't have the cd? A friend told me that I can download a windows evaluation version and install it and then put my product key where he will ask. Can someone help me? I can't find the right link to download windows. I'm looking 'Windows XP Professional 1-2CPU' sticker product key says. Help :(
No, it will not work.
1. most laptops have a factory to restore the image on a special partition on the hard drive. To call the factory restore process, a general starts the computer and press a key of function (such as F10) or a combination of keys (such as Alt + F11). Search tech support website of the computer laptop mftr. to know how to restore your computer if you plant and then do it after saving your data.
2. If the factory restore image does not exist or does not work, contact technical support of computer laptop mftr. and see if they will sell you a set of recovery disks. This will normally very expensive, around $20-25.
3 otherwise, either buy a full copy of what version of XP you want (XP Home is less expensive than XP Pro and is fine for most people) and do a clean install of Windows. The copy of the detail will be its own product key that you will use. After installation, be sure to install all the drivers for your laptop. You will get drivers to computer mftr's technical support Web site.
4. the only other alternative would be to take your computer to a local technician who can install Windows using a generic OEM installation disc or brand. Of course, it will be free, and you will not have the OS disk to keep later, so this isn't really the best scenario for you. #1 or #2 are the best choices.

Lost product key and cannot activate Windows 7
I bought windows 7 last year and now I've lost my product key to activate windows... can I recover my product key... Help, please
If it is a copy of the retail of Windows 7 you have purchased and installed yourself, then see the Belarc found a retail product key, unless you don't have the key at all when you installed everything first he.
If you don't have the product key that you execute by using just the default key, then you have to find your product key and enter it.

Need to activate Vista, but do not have another product key

* original title - I want activity my window vista Home premium but I n, t have another product key, so I did that shoul? *
Hi gulabsher,
You don't need a different product key for re - activate Vista or it after a re-installation. The original supplied with the software should do just fine. However, it is possible that the automated process will not recognize your original valid product key because he thinks that it is already used (and it is from their point of view - on your own computer).
If the automated process fails, use the manual method to activate Vista using the correct product key which accompanies the software. Remember, if it's an OEM license, it can only be used on the same computer, on which it was originally installed and if a retail license, it can be installed on any computer capable of managing this version of Vista, but only on one computer at a time.
To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter. Enter your country
and click Next. You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below. Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being. Have your handy product code because it will be asked. Explain the situation and it is only installed on this PC. They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or explain why there is a problem if they do not).I hope this helps.
Good luck!

When corsair came out with their case of 350 d Obsidian decided to move my PC parts to fit the Micro ATX case. I kept the same RAM, CPU, PSU, GPU and my hard drives that contain Windows 7 PRO. Everything worked up to what a few minutes in the PC running. in my toolbar next to the Center, volume and network icons, there was a picture of key (such as the physical keys) by saying that I need to activate windows. I use this drive for almost more than a year and all of a sudden with new parts that I need to activate windows? the only thing I changed was the motherboard!
I have Microsoft office installed and when I open Office Word the program asked for activation. but all this time, I had to click on a button and activate it with the internet.Why the operating system does not require a product key to 'turn on' when I was using the same operating system for centuries?I don't have my product key and I want to know if I can "activate" windows without one.I see this when I try to activate.
Then it says this
"the only thing I changed was the motherboard!
It is the motherboard which gives a computer it's identity. Essentially, the card mother IS the computer.
The original installation was probably pre-installed and turn to the original BIOS to check that he was still the same. Now when he checks, he finds a different BIOS.
Under the terms of the OEM, the operating system cannot be transferred to another computer, which is what you did...
If your COA sticker is still legible, you can download a Windows 7 ISO and install it using the main code of the COA sticker.

Activate Windows 7
I would like to ask questions about how can activate my correct windows, I tried to activate it but he said to me (the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer) I don't know what I have to do?
Windows product ID: 00426-068-2964761-86079
Recently, there have been a rash of product keys for Windows 7 purchased from auction sites appear here as not authentic. They appear to be related to this HROnline HrOnline code: 0xC004C4A2. If you have purchased a key of a web site selling auctions (like eBay), please understand that the seller would have sold this product to several people key, causing the key more on the blacklist. These keys were never intended for resale; they were intended for the software development or assessment depending on the program that they were obtained through. If you have purchased one of these keys and it became not genuine with the above code, you must purchase a new license for windows 7. Try to validate by going to www.microsoft.com/geniune and follow the links provided to repair windows.
Added note. You have only a limited amount of time (45 days I think) filing a claim with the auction sites. Stay away from these keys, if you purchased a key that has turned non-genuine and are within 45 days of purchase file a claim. There are publishers of legitimate software on auction sites, but if it sounds too good to be true then don't buy it.
Things to watch for.
Recently reported several cases of blocked MSDN subscription product keys packed with legitimate research media. I can not stress enough to save your packaging, media and reception, if you buy software such as this to appeal to the Bank, you bought it and report it to www.microsoft.com/piracy.
If you purchased a product key, with or without DVD or packaging of a sale auction web site (e.g. eBay) or any other person or seller and this could be a product key MSDN Subscritpion because your key has been blocked, you can check a few things. If you have received your key with the physical product go to www.microsoft.com/howtotell and check your product. However, some counterfeit software is if convince you may not be able to identify it as such.
To check your PID the Win Key Press and have a break at the same time or open system properties in Control Panel, scroll to the activation section and look at the PID. It will look something like this: 1234567-12345-067-54321. The part that you are interested in is the section to three figures. If it matches or is in one or two digits from the examples below, you probably have a "non-destinee for resale" MSDN subscription product key
Suspect: 065, 066, 067 068 for Windows 7 Ultimate edition, 220 area for the professional and the 230, 231 area for Home Premium. There are probably others, but they should be close to those posted.

Original title: the reactivation of Windows 7.
I had uninstalled my Windows 7, or more to the point, to the format that cause hard drive then I bought a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and tried to install it on my new hard drive 2 TB, but it is around. But now four to five months and this disc hard seems to have failed, the installation going crazy and ends by not completely. So now I use 8 64-bit Windows, on the hard drive that's used to have my old Windows 7 32-bit, and I try to install Windows 7 32 bit on my VMware Player as a virtual PC, but for some reason any bloody, the thing won't turn on. I got my license and my old Tower, the old tower and the old series of hardware Linux now without all the graphics cards, but it is going to be really just a supermodel, a server for a game and accommodation of the tracks that can be downloaded in the game, all she needs a new motherboard cheap as the motherboard, that he completely fried. But the issue I'm having is with virtual PC, however, I use the license that came when I bought it and is not wanting to turn on, it keeps Gush a BS error, my Windows XP is activated, but my Windows 7 does not. He always tells me that "the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer."
How and why? I'm in my series that accompanies it, and that's exactly as it appears on the label. What I am doing wrong?

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-usIf your license of Windows 7 is an upgrade:
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
