* Original title: product key

Hello guys, I installed Windows which was not original and now it's not true, I do not know the product key and I want to activate how?

If the edition installed does not match the edition, you have a product key because it will not activate.

If you have a product key for the specific edition installed, try the phone activation:

    Hello

    I want to update my windows 7 Home Edition premium PC to windows 10 but there is a prompt that displays... I have first to activate my windows 7 Home premium.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 does not accept the product key

    Just bought a new PC to replace my crashed. Install Windows 7 from the DVD I got for my old PC. It does not accept the product key. Think it's because it was a copy of Windows 7 upgrade. What can I do about this that I can't downgrade to Windows XP. I have the original and the product key for Windows XP disks.

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    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.

  • Windows 8 does not accept the product key

    About 3 years ago I bought Windows 8 Pro (64-bit). In the meantime, I reinstalled the system a good several times because of some strange accidents (see my other question). Now, I tried to reinstall it again, until Windows 10 comes out, but activation does not accept the key. I read on other forums that this is probably beyond the limit of activations.

    Is there a way to reset the key or am I forced to buy a second?

  • Impossible to install windows 8 - we could not verify the product key

    Hello

    I have a HP G laptop computer series. The laptop comes with Windows 7. I. I upgraded to WIN 8 pro when windows 8 has been released. Recently, my laptop hard drive crashed completely due to bad sectors. I replaced with a new hard drive and tried to install WIN 8 from a dvd disk created from Windows download site.

    Now, the installation fails in the "enter product key to activate windows. The error is , we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media.

    What can I do here? I can't install Windows 7 also because my laptop didn't come with a backup installation disk but just a restore system partition that get lost with swap HDD too.

    I was struck here for weeks. Please help me.

    To install Windows 8, you must have a previous Version (XP Sp3, Vista or Windows 7) installed at installation time. Your RESUME must have given you the opportunity to make a series of DVD of Windows 7, when you first start using your computer. If you have done these and then use them for the recovery of Windows 7 on your computer and then update for Windows 8.0. If you don't do this why? Your other option is to contact HP support and have then send you a recovery of Windows 7 DVD set. They will charge a small fee for these to help cover their costs.

    Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

    Hi Brian,.

    I understand that you want to install the app on the Surface RT Heartmath. However, you may not install all the apps on Surface RT by design and you have to go Windows Store and install apps available.

    For more information or information on Surface RT, see the link.

  • I installed Windows 7 not genuine, I need to activate it, but I could not find the product key

    * Original title: product key

    I installed Windows 7 not genuine, I need to activate it, but I could not find the product key. Could someone guide me please.

    If you can't find the product key, you will need to buy a new one:

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)
