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?

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 towww.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.
orHere are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

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.

I can't get my product to enter. It is said that the product key is in use.
I reformatted my computer but I do not enter the product key, because at that time I didn't do it. Do not enter is not the product key when I reformatted it my computer as a free trial for 30 days. I used it for about 3 or 4 days now and yesterday, on December 30, a window popped up and said I had to enter the product key in the next few days 27 or windows would stop working. I entered the product key and he said that the product key is already in use. I tried a few times and it didn't work. Then, I closed the window to shut down my computer. I can't figure out how to get the window upward to try to re-enter. How can I get this window upward to enter the product key? What should I do if she says that the product key is in use?

- The Start Menu displays "CMD.exe."
- Right click on the file CMD.exe and select run as administrator.
