How can I recover my product key of Windows 8?
Original title: Windows 8 key.
I received my copy of Windows 8 pro to participate in the program advisor of Microsoft. I got it on the date of release. I had my hard drive fail and can't find my key. Is there anyway that I can get it back.
Unfortunately, you will need to find the key or contact Microsoft Advisor program to see if they still have it on file.

NKALE,
It is OEM, sale retail or Volume Licensing? If it is OEM, the tile should be on your CPU. If it's retail, should be on the back of the box. If it's VL, then you should see in https://eopen.microsoft.com.

Jelly Bean is the product key is not the COA key that was on the bottom of the laptop.
Check with your system manufacturer as OEM that they must tell you the key.

How can I recover my product key Windows 8 if my cell phone is broken?
Hello
On turning on my computer (Acer Aspire V3) this morning, a blue screen appeared with the error code: 0 x 0000185. I understand that to solve this problem, I need to have the installation of Windows 8 on a disk or a USB stick (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-system/error-0x0000185/67d87671-93b6-49c4-84de-c28260ac5e3f) files. However, I have read that I have to have my product key of Windows 8 to do this... Surely there is a way for me to retrieve my product without my computer key?
I'm not 100% about whether my OS is Windows 8 or 8.1. After reading other threads, it seems that this error message may appear after the update to 8.1, who would have tried my computer automatically.
* Note that Windows 8 has been preinstalled.
Kind regards
Andrew
If Windows 8 was preinstalled, no product key is required. It has built in a chip inside your computer and detected automatically. You won't need to type.

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.

Recently, I replaced my motherboard, CPU and RAM in my computer. So I have to reformat and reinstall to get my computer running again, but I can't find my CD key for Win7 64 bit home premium. I do not buy from a retailer, but a friend who ended up by going to Linux. How can I get this key? I can't access my hard drive due to the change in components a keyfinder seems out of the question.

Much depends on what the 'it', is that you have bought from your friend. If it's a computer with a retail version of Windows 7 64-bit, collect any proof of purchase of your friend or you have to the Win 7 retail and contact the team of complementary pieces of Microsoft. If you have evidence convincing or compelling property of the product, they will provide installation media nd the corresponding key. There is a charge.

Please read the following information below are a possible solution "If you re - install on the laptop to Windows 7, you mentioned."
More information and alternative resources:
If you have a friend with a version of "Retail" (Full or upgrade media, only in the media that you don't need their key) of the installation DVD (should be the same as your key was for: Home Premium, professional or Ultimate) it will work with your "Retail" or "OEM" product key, if you need to reinstall or repair Windows.

Someone knows if the product key is stored in any file on windows. Or does anyone know if Microsoft will have kept no record of the product key and can send information.
The short answer is no.
Even if a product key is stored in Windows and can be retrieved by various utilities third keyfinder, when Windows was preinstalled, this key is a special key used by the manufacturer of the computer to automatically activate Windows when, for example, you use the manufacturer method to restore the computer to its factory condition.
This key can be used if you want to reinstall using a Windows CD/DVD installation that you have purchased. To do this, you use the key on the COA label on your machine.
If you need this key, your most likely solution is to use a bright light and a magnifying glass. If it is completely unreadable, it is possible - though unlikely - that the manufacturer of the computer (non-Microsoft) can be useful.
No key will be useful if you want to install Windows on another computer. OEM (preinstalled) Microsoft software product keys are valid only for the computer on which the software was first installed.

I installed windows 8 on computer 'A' by using a product key. After some time I upgraded to windows 8.1. now, I want to disable my computer product key 'A' so that I can use it on another computer.
There is no real deactivation procedure, slmgr.vbs - upk simply uninstalls the key and put the computer into test mode.
If you want to use the key to product elsewhere, you will need to use for phone activation reactivate on another computer:
Activation of the phone:
1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4
2. then press the ENTER"" key.
3. Select your "country" in the list.
