How can I get my product key when it is not on my computer and my computer was wiped.
My question is how can I get my product key when it is nowhere on my computer and my computer has been completely cleaned.

Original title: completely annihilated computer.
Hello
That's what you're looking for if XP came preinstalled:
The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.
With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.
If it is lost and you have wiped the hard drive, your only option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer.
See you soon.

I am able to see some numbers and letters of a product on the Microsoft label key I bought and you must activate the product. Does anyone know how to find the product key otherwise?
Your response is much appreciated!
Hello
If vista is preinstalled (Dell, HP, etc.), this should help you:
In these Forums, it is often recommended to use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.
Also that, read also:
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.
They should do this for a small fee.
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

How can I get another product key I just bought this laptop of a friend n, she bought from someone else
You can only get a new product key when buying a new copy of Windows.
Check the bottom of the laptop for a sticker with a 25-digit product key. If she says it's for the same edition of Windows that is currently on the computer then you can use it. Otherwise, you can order recovery disks from the manufacturer of the laptop or of a third party as Recovery - Disks.com and restore the computer to its factory condition. Recovery disks don't require entry of a product key during installation.

Your installation reports that it is authentic - but you have a cached validation failed.
Try a manual validation to www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate
If she passes (and should be) you will be offered IE9 and MSE - you don't have to take them!
[edit]
I have just re-ckecked the key - and it's for an ASUS computer.
You must purchase a legal Win Ultimate, or go back to the original OS that came with the computer using the manufacturer's recovery disks.

How can I get my product key windows 8?
Hello
It's me again. Please, it became necessary for me to marker my system. My laptop came with windows 8 pre-installed, but I need to get in shape and can not find where is my product key. I may have misplaced the documentation provided with the laptop, it is possible to activate windows product ID mind? Microsoft will give me the key if I can give them this product ID? My system specs are below:
Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion 15 laptop 0884100000305B 10000610100
System serial number: 5CD3222ZKX product number: E2U74EA #ACQ8.1 Windows only language (x 64) (build 9600)
Have you considered using Windows 8 refresh or the HP Recovery Manager to perform a recovery of image factory?
Do yourself a big favor and do not format the hard drive and delete the partitions.
Use the disk set or recovery of recovery media that you must already have created to perform an image recovery plant. If you need to redo the operating system of your laptop is because there is a problem of virus\malware\adware then an image recovery plant certainly solve this issue.
Your license key is embedded in the BIOS. He will be recognized by the recovery and Microsoft software when you sign after recovery,

original title: product key
I have the DVD original, but lost the product key; would it not be in one of the files? What is my option?
It would depend on the brand and model of your PC. Know also there are generally two types of product keys: single and "OEM Royal golden master" (which is like a volume license key).
Are you absolutely sure that you have lost your product key? If you bought a PC pre-installed with Windows XP, you probably have this unique product key (the) on the COA sticker that is expected to be on the case (or at the bottom of the laptop).
In addition, if your PC does not work, you can use a program like Belarc Advisor or Magical Jellybean Finder to get your key (but if you have a gold key, it's one that will appear, not one single).
Finally, you can not even your key. If your 'original' DVD (or CD maybe?) is a recovery CD, it will very probably return your PC to its original state pre-activated. If it's a Dell brand XP installation CD (and you install it on a Dell computer!), then she too is pre-activated; It would be not asked to enter a key during installation.

activation key for windows vista
How you installed Vista as an upgrade on XP or to perform a new installation? Did you use the installation of a media installation upgrading or complete dvd or did you by TechNet or MSDN subscription paying there?
With or without a dvd, you must enter the product key that was included with the media or have bought and downloaded via the store Ms. The product key is usually on the plastic case, the dvd of Vista arrives or accompanies electronic download and is that you enter during the installation/update level or when you use the control panel > system > change the product key to see active Windows.
You'll need a product key valid for the edition in question that you are now going to run.
