    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.

  • Help, please! Got an old computer xp, when I turn it on it asks me to activate windows now...

    Please help, I put in the Installation ID over the phone, and it says its not valid.

    I tried to call tech support, but he said the key requested is not valid? I don't know what to do :(
    I got a computer that my sister received a colleague for Christmas. Worked very well, my brother-in-law, messed with it today, replaced the motherboard and now when I turn it on it asks me to "activate Windows".
    I really don't want to have to rebuy Windows...

    Unfortunately, this is probably what you're going to do, buy another copy of Windows (or another computer).  When Windows comes pre-installed on a computer, the Windows installation is allowed on this computer and cannot be moved to another.  In order to have a component to show up and say: "it is the computer that I came!", this component is the motherboard.  Now that yours has been replaced, the Windows license that came with the old motherboard is zero and cannot be used any longer.

  • my old motherboard was brockin so I replaced it with a new one and now I carnt activate windows pleae help

    my old motherboard was brockin so I replaced it with a new one and now I carnt activate windows pleae help

    Something that all OEM computer owners need to understand...

    Citing the example of a desktop HP ENVY h8-1419 PC...

    It is the motherboard that determines the make and model of a PC OEM, NOT the case.

    OEM motherboards contain BIOS custom, in this case HP. Installing OEM key code and recovery disks or partitions will work as long as the Windows installation find a BIOS from HP and the type of motherboard, Windows will validate and remain active.

    When replacing the motherboard, for some reason, with a motherboard that does NOT have a custom BIOS HP, the computer is no longer a desktop HP ENVY h8-1419 PC.

    If the 'new' motherboard first saw life in a DELL computer, it then becomes a DELL. It is not possible to use custom installation of another brand of OEM OEM.

    If she started life in a box of motherboard manufacturer on the set of a major computer parts retailer, is no longer a desktop HP ENVY h8-1419 PC. It's everything that appears as the make and model in the box...

    In the first case, you will need the COA, the key code sticker and the DELL machine DELL of origin if original installation media you want together upwards, the drivers and all.

    Or, as in the second case, you will need either a retail key code or a code key of system manufacturer which must be purchased.

  • How can I get the product news/same key code to activate Windows Vista? Label on my computer is dispelled and Toshiba was no help.

    Had the new hard drive installed on my computer, so now, two weeks later, the computer tells me that I need to activate Windows with the product key code.  The product key code label is too so I can't read the code.  I called Toshiba for a new or a replacement code, but they told me that I had to back up my hard drive and restore it to the factory settings.  I also tried to find the phone number of support following the instructions on the Microsoft Web site, but I don't get any options, that the instructions say I should.  My computer tells me too that my Windows is not genuine, and my screen and background images of screen saver does not work anymore.

    Use a magnifying glass and a strong light and see if you can decipher the worn characters.  There is no trace of the key so if you do not you will need to follow the instructions of Toshiba for restoring your windows with the recovery disk.
