HOW DO I ACTIVATE AND UPDATE WINDOWS

I recently bought a lenovo g400 laptop which came with window 8 pro build 9200 pre-installed. I noticed it always displays activate windows, I clicked on settings of your laptop, but there is no option to activate windows. How can I activate my windows 8?

Also I could not updated for windows windows 8.1 store with the answer that my system is running a version company license or volume window 8. What can I do?

Contact Lenovo.  They are your first line of support.  You haven't bought Windows 8/8.1 - you bought a computer with a preinstalled license of Windows 8/8.1.  The support comes from the OEM - if they support - return it and get a system from an OEM manufacturer that supports the product they are supposed to.

This can help:

But honestly - the truth is that if you have purchased the system with Windows 8 pre - install NEW (not used) - your support comes from Lenovo for such things.

    Hello Allen,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    According to the scenario, and from now on, I would say that you want to run system restore, and then try to install an update.

    Step 1: Perform the system restore

    To use the system restore

    Before you start the system restore, save open files and close all programs. System Restore will restart your PC.

    1. Open the system restore by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type System Restoreand then, in the list of results, click System Restore. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. Follow the steps in the wizard to select a restore point and restore your computer.

    Important: When you use the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed. Utility Norton may also be removed.

    You can also check: System Restore: frequently asked questions

    Step 2: Do a selective (one) approach when you install updates.

    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2. In the left pane, click check for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

    3. If you see a message telling you that important updates are available, or you say to look at the important updates, click the message to view and select the updates to install.

    4. In the list, click the important updates for more information. Select the check boxes for the updates that you want to install and then click OK.

    5. Click install updates.

    Note: Read and accept the terms of the license and then click on Finishing If the update requires it. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Now, try the above steps and let us know the result, we will be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.

    How can I keep my computer from HP 1 month (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) to close down and blue-screening at random times?  First thing I did when I got it was to slowly add programs I used on XP safely in the past.  I run Comcast w/McAfee and virus scan came negative.  However, just recently, I added Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate Steal and updates the Microsoft appearing to all appropriate... I think that's when the trouble started.  Since then, I had random and/or closures crashes.  All the expert advice would be appreciated.  Thank you!!!

    Here's a common reason is given:

    If the behavior persists, contact HP Support as soon as POSSIBLE under your warranty or Service contract.

  • How can I activate telnet in Windows XP Professional?

    I've seen several references to XP Professional with a built-in telnet server and the 'help and support' section seems to indicate that as well, but I darn if I can find detailed instructions on how the hell activate you it after 20 minutes of Googling to pages with forums and ask the same question, people usually being will have a link to the technet database. I tried to look for it, but kept getting instructions for Server 2003 who say to test with telnet in XP command line control.

    I want just a less cumbersome way to stop my main computer of the notebook on the cable network (in my room, the computer and I have a fake ethernet cable so I can access it from the bed I have wireless at home). I want to try telnet as it is less involved than remote desktop, and I can't do 'shutdown m \\slickswintel' at work (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking/how-do-i-use-the-shutdown-command-to-shut-down/645a45ee-d964-4f87-8c7e-98f446332c0e).

    I thought I'd try to telnet. If I can limit the 192.168.1.X subnet traffic security concerns shouldn't be a problem. Yes, I am well aware of the limitations and why Telnet has been replaced by SSH. It would be a problem if I was trying to participate via the internet, rather than an inTRAnet of small LAN home network with a router/switch device that manages the internet gateway.

    Could someone, give me a link to instructions for XP Professional? I don't even remember if I ever tried to set up telnet on Windows what it (server or workstation, even if it's a piece of cake to put in place under Linux (and SSH is simple too).

    My goal is to turn off the computer from across the room without getting up from the bed, so I can stick this laptop on the bedside table and to sleep with as little hassle as possible.
    Before suggesting the m \\slickswintel stop, read this:
