How can I change my XP Pro product key?
My laptop was repaired some time ago after it crashed, when I ran the check Microsoft to check my license agreement, he could not tell my version of XP Pro was not genuine (he says it's a corporate copy not a single copy for use domestic). I checked the product key with the label on the bottom of my laptop and its different? Then... How can I put my real code 25-digit in back... bearing in mind I don't know anything about computors configuration!
Thanks for any help

How can I just get a new product key?
How can I just get a new product key? I'm not just software product key. I have windows 7 Home premium, but it can only be used on a single computer. I have a counter top and a netbook. I spent $124,00 once and I won't spend that again.

The software comes with the key when you buy. You have not a

Right, the rule is quite clear. It is a copy (or a license) for
each computer.There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.> I have a counter top and a netbook. I spent $124,00 once and I won't spend that again.
Then, unless you can find a lower price somewhere or you wish to fly,
you're out of luck.

How can I change the parameters of function key?
How can I change the function keys on my keyboard so I don't have to press the Fn key each time? At the moment I put alternative functions such as volume and brightness but can not change it back.
This depends on the public services of PC manufacturer, but you don't say what kind of PC you have.
For Dells & maybe others, appointment on
1 Control Panel, Windows Mobility Center - there may be an element called line feature key with a drop-down list. You should find it the value of multimedia keys & can select function keys instead. The settigs will return to their value by default when you restart the PC.
2 restart in the BIOS & get the point of the multimedia keyboard . This change to the function keys instead change the default behavior.
If your PC does not include these changes, then you will need to go to the PC manufacturer's support site to know how to do.

my mother-in-law is trying to reinstall windows xp home edition 2, but does not have its product number or key... How can I find out who it is?
Thank you very much!
What brand is the PC? Most system builders put the key on the side of the Machine. If it's a laptop, it should be on the bottom of the laptop.
It is all the information that we will be able to give you. If you are unable to find the key, then you will need to purchase a new license.

A key active OEM_SLP automatic when all things are right - there no need to connect to the Activation of MS servers to do.
If the conditions are not suitable for a triggered OEM_SLP key, then it will attempt activation with the servers of MS - they are blocked from activation and therefore return an 0xC004C003 error.
I said looking for the key - not the word :)

How can I change windows xp pro from Portuguese to English
I have an old acer travelmate 6292 and it's in Portuguese, so I would like to convert in English if possible without losing the information about it. I felt I could clean sweep and start again but I would lose everything on it. Is there a way just to change the language. I tried in the language settings, but can not find English. It does not have English on it anywhere.
Hi themoonshinerunner,
The operating system language cannot be changed. If you perform a clean installation, your system will be coming back to original without change of Linguistics preinstalled settings.
To change the language of the operating system, you may need to purchase the installation media that includes the preferred language.

Update Windows 8 pro 8.1 pro - product key/activation required?
I have a dell latitude E5530 it came preinstalled and active with windows 8 pro. I get guests to update to 8.1 and indeed when I go to store the link is available. However, I want to know if I need the product key for this upgrade? Will I need to reactivate after upgrade? If so how can I get the current installation product key? The upgrade will also default 8.1pro?
Thanks for your help, I know that these issues are pretty basic but I can't seem to find the answers in the son and I saw the charges based on complaints from upgrade so I'm trying to be careful.
The product key for the 8.0, you already is built into the system (it was on stickers on the laptops, but now it is embedded in the BIOS of the motherboard).
The 8.1 update is a service pack, so it won't change your product key or activation, and no new key is required. It's just a set of updates.
