• How can I recover a lost product key?

  No, the thing is the License Key is written @ the back of my PC but the sticker is gone and I need... can I communicate with any body or do something to get it again

  If you reinstall the operating system or restore factory initially provided for the computer disks or if you use on the computer factory restore partition you need not the key product on the sticker of the computer (COA SLP below.)  That is only used when you upgrade the bios of the computer, or another problem it happens that the installer cannot self turn on the computer.

  The following text was published previously in another forum by Darin Smith MS (MSFT) and can probably answer better I could question:

  "Computers, which are built by the large manufacturers come with Windows pre-installed, come with 2 two product keys:

  (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (bottom or sometimes a laptop battery) of your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, this case when OEM SLP key ceases to be activated for some reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

  As long as the installation of Vista came on the computer you won't need the product key.

  Hello

  your product key/license of vista is up to you to use your laptop for the life of your laptop

  How 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

• How can I get a Vista product key

  Hello

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.

• Can I use Vista Upgrade product key on the SAME machine?

  I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to XP media Center computer, and now my computer runs very slowly.  I have 1 GB of RAM, but isn't enough for Aero?  So... what I really do is to perform a new installation to refresh my computer, but I can do after already using my key product upgrade once? (Now I have an external HARD drive to back up my data... I didn't when I upgraded).  The new facility will be used with the same upgrade DVD and product key, and it will be used on the SAME machine.  This is allowed, or vista become inactive and I lose Vista completely?

  Yes you can reinstall Windows Vista by using the Windows Vista Upgrade activation disk works perfectly. Make sure you have your 25-digit product key.

  Also, make sure that you have installed once are not dual boot.

  My advice is that you bring a new installation with Service Pack 1 disc as shown here:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.aspx

  Follow the instructions for installation, as in this case:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3327.aspx

  Please note that the guide is basis of Dell, F12 can be a different key on your machine and you need to get your site system drivers from your computer manufacturer Web but most of the others in the guide apply to all windows based computers.

• Can I use my original product key for one. ISO downloaded from torrent?

  I own a HP Pavilion dv6 came pre-installed with Win 7 - SP1. It of almost 3 years and have become very slow & does not. He deserves better HARD drive format integer & clean installation. So, a few days before I tried to create a restore of the media. But the message was the recovery cannot be created once & was even created prior to my computer. I absolutely do not remember having the Media Recovery created before. Went to the HP forum as the preinstalled Windows not supported Microsoft. They have provided links in multiple threads to download. ISO file. But all servers are down & I couldn't find one. ISO file to download. So, I thought that to restore the system until the servers are on the rise again. Yesterday I tried the system restore. While the system restore worked, suddenly the program have been broken between the two & restarted the laptop. As soon as the screen came, the message was "Boot Manager is missing:(".). Really, I can't wait until the servers are up because I need it for my daily work activities. What is the solution?

  Because of the urgency, I asked one of my friends to get one. ISO downloaded torrent. Now, I'll have the. ISO downloaded torrent. Can I install this torrent OS and replace the product key of mine?

  Thank you

  Whether or not you can find your backup 'Restore media', you can restore to factory state using the integrated HP utility on the computer.  The procedure is on the manual of your computer & also on the HP website.

  'Restore media' is a utility from HP if you need to go to the computer's documentation to find out exactly what it is.  It is quite likely to do a backup of a HP built-in utility to restore your computer to its State "factory".  You may find that the computer has prompted to do this backup 'Restore Media' when you first received the computer.  If you lost it then you still have the integrated method of origin for the restoration of the "factory" that HP put on your computer.  The idea of backup 'Restore media' is to give you a second method to do this restoration 'factory' and to be able to do if you need to replace the hard drive.

• How can I reactivate in my product key for window 7 Home premium

  I have a sony vaio VPC 111FM PC with original edition window7 OS Home premium. I upgraded to windows 7 ultimate. I was disappointed because some of the features my pc. was not able to operate, some drivers are absent, and software up to date, I try to install the updates several times but the problem continue to insist. While im updating I have discovered that the ultimate installed is not genuine.  I want to go back to his pre installed OS Windows 7 Home premium / factory setting, but I don't have the disk. I bought the PC from BEST BUY CA. without OS to windows 7 and recovery inside the box disk installer. CAN you help me to solve my problem? IM know not so much in the operation of a computer. Pls help me step by step to sove my concern. TY very much.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  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.

• Can I use Dell original product key to activate a clean Windows installation after I have replace/upgrade motherboard, processor and other key components?

  I have a Dell computer, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed in the factory. There is a product code for windows on the sticker on the box. My problem is that the motherboard and CPU are released. I intend to replace and update the motherboard failed and cpu, ram, power supply, optical drive and eventually put in a larger hard drive. From what I read, I can not simply start the machine with the original hard drive, with windows already installed and activated. So if I wipe the hard drive (or put it in a new), can I clean install Windows 7 and then just use the product key on the sticker on the box to activate the new installation? Or what I need to buy a new copy of Windows 7?

  I've also read on other threads, that you can "transfer" a license of Windows 7 on a different machine only if it is a "commercial" version, not OEM. If the version of Windows that is preinstalled on a Dell computer would be "retail" or "OEM"? And to reactivate the software on a rebuilt/updated machine up-to-date with the new motherboard, etc. would constitute a 'transfer to a new machine' or reactivation just on a computer upgraded?

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
