How can I get a Vista product key

Hello

My laptop compaq with disk hard vista is dead during the holiday season. I could buy a disc of recovery from the supplier, but when I went to enter numbers of validation on my laptop, I found the 3rd sequence of the number worn and unreadable. Anyway for me to * sigh * buy a product code. I'm tired of trying to guess what unreadable characters are... I want to just my laptop to work again.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. While I don't agree with "planned obsolescence" of a product (nor the design of the approved certificate), I can understand the reasoning. My laptop came with a premium version of vista (an exclusive retailer at the time), I had to enter the passcode (he asked for it). I'm just a little upset because of my situation. You know a way to use the software finder key on an external hard drive? I still have my only crushed (and his readable thank God) so that I can recover some of my files. I won't be "forced" to buy a new operating system when I match my needs.

Thanks again

There are external ways to find the product key installed - but chances are that the key on the previous installation is simply the manufacturer OEM_SLP key - which is what you would get installed by the recovery disks. The only reason why it would be different if you had reinstalled using an ordinary drive in Vista, either had some activation issues with the system installed at a given moment.

  • How can I get a Vista license key?

    I have a laptop that is unbootable. It's 'term' with the viruses and malware at a standstill. I slaved the drive on another machine and cleaned, but now it does not even start. I would now just need to recharge the laptop provided with my CD to my vista operating system.  The problem is that the sticker on the bottom of the laptop has some numbers rubbed off on it and is no longer legible. (Probably from sitting on my lap while using the laptop) Anyway I still have the hard disk with the data.

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Re: Satellite L300 - 18 d - how can I get a Vista restore disk?

    Hello world

    My laptop (Satellite L300 - 18 d) has been seriously infected by viruses, all corrupt. I need to resinstall Vista but do not have the restore disc. After searching around, I managd to download a restore disk of some sites, but when I used this disc, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that works with my OEM product key.

    How can I get the restore disc that will work with my OEM license?

  • How can I get my vista returns with no password?

    My hard drive crashed. IM waiting to get a new internal hard drive and apparently my files is stored on an external hard drive that I bought recently. Now I realize I lost not only the recovery disks for my windows vista 64 bit, I also lost the box that my laptop came out if I could still borrow a copy from friends, I still wouldn't have my correct code. I think my name must be in some kind of records, right? How can I get my password back so I have cabin recharge my vista?  don't want to have to buy it again... ! Thank you

    Personal information and product keys are not stored in the same databases of MS.

    Your product key is on the computer itself (assuming that it is a large manufacturer) - on the COA sticker or on the matter, o in the battery compartment.

    Note that if you reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery disks, you should not have your own product key at all, as the discs contian, sing the manufacturer of own key, which activates the BIOS on the computer.

  • How can I get Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit installed on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - Bit?

    I decided to install Windows 7 on my computer for the 30 day free trial, but am now regretting it. I don't have the money to buy the product officially, so I want to reinstall my windows vista. I have the drive, but when I try to install the computer says that this version of windows is not compatible with it. How can I get my Windows Vista to install?

    Also, I currently have windows 7 Home premium. It is a 32-bit operating system and is running on Service Pack 1. The version of windows that I am wanting to return is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

    I can't make the method for using the windows.old as my uncle decided to remove after installation of windows. I have 13, but even, I knew it was a bad idea. In any case, I would really help with this question.

    Ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit is a single proposal for a NEW facility.

    You can boot from the DVD and erase your old installation (wipe, from scratch, all not saved disappeared and everything must be installed manually - including drivers for hardware devices and software you have installed now) and install Windows Vista x 64.

  • After the system restore, I get "windows vista product key you typed is invalid for activation.

    I had to do a system restore a few weeks, now I start and get the message "the windows vista product key you typed is invalid for activation" but he worked for 4 years. now HP tells me I pay $ 130 move to 7 since vista is old.

    Hello, Phindude13,

    ) Click the Start button

    (2) type: slui.exe 3 and press the Enter key

    (3) enter the product key from the sticker on your computer

    4) click on the next button.

    (5) you will be asked if want to enable, click ok

    (6) it will attempt to activate over the Internet and will return an error of invalid key (it of ok, go to step 7)

    7) click the Start button

    (8) type: slui.exe 4 and press the Enter key

    (9) select your location from the menu drop-down and click on the next button

    (10) the next screen provides the number to call to activate by phone

    NOTE: when you call this number, you will first hear an automatic voice who will try to activate Vista for you. If the automated voice gives you an option to speak to a representative of Activation Live, select this option. If this is not the case, do not enter all the numbers. This should force the voice automated transfer you to a Live Activation Rep. trying to activate through the automated voice will not work, in your case, your Activation will be successful only through the Live Activation Rep.

    Once completed, you may need to restart twice.

    I have a HP Pavilion laptop, which came with XP on it and XP key on the back sticker. However, when I bought it, it came with a free Vista Upgrade, that I used. Now several years later it says that my copy of Vista is not authentic, but I can't get the CD key to verify that the CD key is for XP, not Vista.
