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.

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.

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.

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,

How can I change the product key Windows 7 starter edition
Hi all
I tried to change the product key on my netbook, because I had to replace the hard drive and I used my recovery disks of the brothers that he has the same exact model. However when I had done restoring the product key is also the same so I wanted to put the original back on.
I used slui methods both properties before, but neither give me a way to change the product key at the moment. When I go to properties it says only: windows is activated without any options to change of key and when I run slui a window appears which says activation succeeded.
Am I missing something? or is it because its Windows 7 starter?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance

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.

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.
