• How to activate Windows using my product key?

  My Toshiba Satellite laptop has recently be affected which made unusable/inaccessible hard drive. The hard drive has been replaced, and the laptop is up and running again. Now I have the trial version 30 days of Windows 7 installed. I would like to get a copy of my access key to unlock the full version of Windows 7 that I paid when I bought the laptop.

  There is no product key located anywhere on the laptop and it is not in the laptop computer zone he entered in any event. I have now learned that the product key is accessible directly from the hard drive, but given that the data on my hard drive are completely inaccessible is not an option. Can someone advise me please on how I can get a replacement from Toshiba product key.

  I am pretty frustrated that I had not given a paper copy of the product key with the laptop.

  Thank you

  Unfortunately, al this doesn t work on this path. When you buy the new notebook price includes preinstalled OS and a valid license, but for the only preloaded.

  With other words: you will not get a kind of own key that you can use with a preinstalled version of Windows. When you use the original operating system it will be activated. You can install it 1000 times and it will be activated any time.

  So if you want to use the original installation disc from Microsoft, you must buy a valid license for this. Many people think the same thing as you but unfortunately Microsoft create the rules for the use of the licenses and how it works with the activation of the OS.

  Hello

  I assume you have reinstalled Windows on your machine and tried to activate it and Windows is saying that your "product key is already in use"?

• How can I activate Windows 7 OEM product key

  How can I activate my product key OEM Windows 7?

  By phone or simply connect to the internet and it is automatically enabled?

  Need answers.

  Thanks for the attention.

  You can try

  Click Start, right click on computer

  Click on properties

  

  Scroll down to Windows activation.

  You will notice it displays a time until Activation but completed. The product ID also indicates that he uses a default key, it is only for the 30-day grace period allowed until you have to activate Windows 7.

  Click the change product key link

  

  Enter the product key located on the COA sticker that is located downstairs or (sometimes in the battery of your laptop), you can also find it at the top or the side if it's a desktop computer.  It looks something like the following:

  

  Proceed to enter the product key and click Next

  

  Wait while Windows is trying to activate.

  

  If all goes well, less than a minute, you should see this screen.

  You can further confirm that Windows 7 is enabled by checking the State of Activation of Windows:

  

• Try to activate Windows, error: this product key has already been used on another computer

  (Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)

  How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

  I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

  Hi Christian,

  I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

  As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

  I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

  See the link below for the number of support:

• Motherboard has failed on the computer running Windows XP Professional. Can I replace the motherboard and re - install Windows with my product key?

  My computer was assembled by myself has worked for many years, the operating system is win xp pro OEM.  The motherboard has failed and I'm replacing it with a newer version, that is no longer available. I can re - install win xp pro using any win xp pro not oem and using original key to activate? I understand the oem rules as it relates to a registered oem (Dell, Acer, etc) but my oem copy was bought at retail and as far as I know is not related to a named oem. In fact, I'd say I'm oem as I made the original equipment.

  There is disagreement on that. I've seen people claim that if you change the motherboard, you essentially create a new PC (which would mean you would need another license as an OEM license can be used on a PC and never transferred to another).

  And then there are people who say that it is the OEM who decides what constitutes a new PC. I tend to support this point of view, personally. But there is disagreement.
  BTW, if you bought the OEM CD has no impact on the license.
  After installation, you may need the Microsoft phone to activate (in other words, if the activation over the Internet does not work).

• I would like to know how to re - install windows on a laptop with the product key on the back of the laptop.

  install windows with the product key

  someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.

  or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.

  I thank you for your time and have a good day.

  If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition.  If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation.  At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.

  If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.

Contact the manufacturer of the device for soft recovery option. Is it possible for me to download the windows with the product key to reinstall my laptop?

  Best regards
