How can I know my product key if I can't read it the sticker on my laptop and can't find it in any document supplied with the laptop?
I have windows Vista Home Basic and I had a virus my laptop so had to wipe it and re install windows, but now he asks me my product key that I can't read the sticker as he had ripped a little...
If you reinstall of the manufacturer's recovery disc then it should not ask for a product key. That said, it is there no trace of the product key printed on the COA sticker on your computer. Stickers are applied in batches at the factory and no record is made of what product key is associated with a specific machine. I'm sorry.
Check with the manufacturer if your computer has a recovery partition. Who restores Windows to its factory condition.
What kind ot disk you install from and entered with your computer?

How will I know my product key?
How will I know my product key? I'm on windows7 and I have no DVD or CD with laptop. There is no return to the top. I don't have it in my laptop.
can someone help me please?
Thank you

You should try to buy a set of disks Recovrey from the manufacturer, or to create them using the software on your computer (see your manual for details). Reinstall using the rigth software to system recovery requires no product key entry.
If for some reason you can not do the above, see if you can borrow a copy retail of WIndows of the edition of sae as your installation - install that using the default key, then try to activate by phone and speak to an operator. They have sometimes you will give a fresh touch if yours is illegible.

How can I find that a windows 7 install disc to go with the key on my laptop?
Hello. For various reasons I had to format and reinstall windows on my lenovo think mobile W520. I have his activation code, but I don't have any sort of recovery disk. I have a 7 HP windows retail disc that I used for my office, but installation that will not let me activate with the key to the laptop. And naturally the key that came with the drive is in use. How can I find an installation disc that works with the key provided with the laptop? (AFAIK, lenovo site software all assume you have something to recover; in my case, the drive is formatted, and as far as I know, there is nothing to use to retrieve).
No doubt you had failed to create the Lenovo recovery disks according to the instructions of Lenovo, and the hidden restore partition no longer exists?

I try to use windows excel for windows vista and asks me to enter a product key. I am the sole owner of the computer but have no installation CD for recharge Excel. How can I find out what order to use the product? From now the product doesn't let me do anything. Help, please!
Hello
Did you pay for Office (including Excel) in a packaging separated when you bought your computer?
Office is not included with your purchase of computer for free.
Most new computers come with a trial version of Office that lets 'x' number of days usuage.
After this test times out, you will have to buy Office.
And the product key on the computer case or laptop for the operating system, not for the desktop Suite.
Here is the link for the Microsoft Store to Office products:
And you might be interested in the free Open Office Suite of Office Applications.
For any other question about Office, please repost in the Office Forums:

Hello
If you are unable to retrieve the product key provided with the system then Windows communicate with the system
Maker.Look at the lower/rear part computer and tape or disks that came with the unit.
If the system is still running, you can use these to access your product key. These are not cracks, they
only retrieve your existing key.One of them allows to recover your machine if possible.

Hello
"my HDD is empty, my product key is rubbed off and I don't have the owner of the instillation.
in this case we cannot help you find your product key
If vista is preinstalled ask that the manufacturer of the computer is that they will sell you recovery disks and also ask them if a product key entry is required on your part when installing the same
It is not normally; but ASK them

I don't know my product key. I don't have a disk it came with the pc and below when I try to read I can not, some numbers are scratched and I just format my pc what can do?
Just installed windows 7 but I can't read my product key?
Help me please thx!
Option 1:
If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.
Option 2:
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.
Option 3:
If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

How can I find my windows 7 cd key?

How can I find the cd key for windows pre-installed on my PC.
If I want to install windows 7 from some other DVD then can I use this cd key.
Hi, your product key is on a blue tile, glued to your system folder, and as said by Jessie L, your Data Safe software is installed on your system, to make your backup. I have a 570, and every now and then I get a prompt Data Safe wanting to know if I want to backup, you must get the same thing. In addition, it give you the opportunity to make a series of disk

Original title: single language of windows 8
I had 8 single language on dell inspiron 15-3521 pre-installed windows. I did repartitioning disks and windows recovery options 8 as 'reset your pc' and "Refresh your pc" has stopped working, saying that the not found recovery partition, but it was intact. I have no recovery disk.
Can I get a configuration of single language somewhere? How can I find the license key for my installation.Hi Mohammed'metwally,.
Please answer this question to get more clarity on this issue.
The application or program that you use the partition of the drive?
This problem may occur if the partition table is damaged or altered. As a result, the recovery partition does not work. I'm sorry to know that you are facing this problem.
You will not get the unique language anywhere to download setting. You have an OEM computer that comes with the product key integrated into the BIOS. The product key of Windows 8 on new machines is now integrated in the machine. It uses the Secure Boot technology. When you perform a new installation of Windows 8, the installation program ask a product key and will be automatically get it from your system and proceed with the installation.
As Windows 8 came pre-installed, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer with this problem for more help.

How can I find and repair a corrupted registry key
How can I find and repair a corrupted registry key
It would be useful to know a number of facts that you forgot:
- Windows version, including service pack
- Your HP printer model
- The error message that you initially received which led you to try the FixIt
- The web address of the FixIt tool you tried (NOT FixIt Center home page, but the page where you downloaded or run the FixIt tool).
- The full text of the error message on "registry keys corrupted MSI.
That being said, it seems that if you have installed and then try to uninstall any software related to the printer. If this is the case, and the printing software cannot be uninstalled from Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs, you can use either the Utility Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup or (free) Revo Uninstaller.
Truth in advertising: you may notice that the link to the Windows Installer Cleanup utility is not a Microsoft site. It's because Microsoft has removed it stating that he sometimes 'cleaned' more that she was supposed to. Personally, I would use it again, but I would back up the registry first of all, with a restore of the system or C:\windows\eruntpoint.
After that you have uninstalled whatever it is, you have tried to uninstall, see instructions here: Article 1
