How do I display the product key number b & use to activate Windows 7?

I got the qa message on my Dell laptop. Windows 7 Edition Home Premium that I had to activate my Windows using my product key. I wore my glasses to 20-20 & used my magnifying glass & writing down the product key.                     I checked the # 3 times!  Every time, all the 6 times I entered the # Microsoft said that I had entered man # invalid! 1 Lady even said there were 25 numbers & letters & I were entered in 26. She foolishly told me that she had the # on his computer, but she couldn't tell me what # was wrong!  The 3rd time I called the supervisor this manipulation my call tried to make me buy an anti-virus for 1 year, $99 & 2 years program, a discount of $149!  I know computer, software & hardware companies work together to tear the s Comsumer for their benefit!

Please help me solve this computer problem!

  • Windows 8 Pro update product key cannot be used to activate Windows after an installed cleaning

    Hi guys,.

    I bought a Windows 8 Pro Upgrade and received the product key I used to download and run a clean install to my laptop using a USB Flash drive (format my HD then install). But now, in my new installed Windows 8, I can't use this product key to activate Windows as it says that the key is for an upgrade, not a clean install. I was not aware of this problem when I did the clean install. So, how can I activate my Windows now?

    It! s a upgrade, you need to UPGRADE your existing system. New installation is not supported. I'm sorry.

    This is simply not true.

    If you had a hardware problem and you will need to re - install Windows 8, you can do this by using installation media that the wizard allows you to create (or installation media that you ordered, if you chose to order discs).

    If you don't have installation media, you can re - install your older version of Windows and rerun the upgrade.

    Whatever it is, you will need the product key you received when you paid for Windows 8. If you choose to do a clean install of Windows 8 from the installation media, you will also need to call Customer Service for help activating your copy of Windows.

    Kind regards

  • How can I find the product key if the laptop was a gift?

    How can you find the product key if the laptop was a gift and you do not have a cd

    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.

    You cannot use a Windows 7 Professional anytime upgrade product key with reinstall media, it can be used only to upgrade license of qualification basis where you bought the upgrade in the first place (Starter, Home Premium).

    The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
     
    An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
     
    What happens if I lose my product key?
     
    If you lose your product key, you can return to

    www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.
     
     
     
    or

    Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure.

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.
    ------------------------------------
    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.
    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    When you bought the computer, he had the pre-installed Windows 7?
    If so, this is a version of OEM license.
    Not worth trying all of 3rd party product key finders. They do not work on the OEM version.

    You call the computer manufacturer and ask what follows...

    1. a set of recovery disks. Its cost is minimal and money well spent. The game will save your computer if it crashes.
    2. talking to a technician and ask for instructions access your recovery as well as partition to use it to restore your computer.

    The 2 methods above does not need to enter the product key.

    Note: The methods above will restore your computer to factory State. You will lose all your personal files and programs you had installed. If you still have ways to support those up to a flash drive or an external hard drive, do so now.
