• Reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium on your friends computer and impossible to activate

  So a while a friend died and I got his laptop. It came as a Windows 7 Home premium, but he did not like Windows and it has switched to Linux. I switched it back to Windows, but I just use a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium, I already had, leading to a "non-genuine" version of Windows. It has been so for a while now and the message "Activate Windows now" slows down the initial start-up; I can't put a wallpaper I was just wondering if it is possible to get an another record since the original key is taken on a technical level. If it's useful, 'caught', original product key on the sticker of the laptop is {deleted}

  If you still have the sticker / product key that belongs to this laptop then try the following:

  Open a prompt (run as administrator) and type the following at the command prompt:

  slmgr - upk (press the Enter key)

  slmgr - ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (where XXXXX is your product key and press the Enter key

  slmgr - ato (and press the Enter key)

  Leave command prompt it a check to see if Windows is activated.

  (B) If you used a Home Premium recovery disc that belongs to another PC, you should reinstall Windows and activate using the product key that belonged to your laptop from a friend.

• How to transfer home use program to another computer and activate?

  Several years ago downloaded the HUP on my laptop. This computer has stopped working for more than a year. However, when I go through the process of purcahsing a new HUP, it recognizes the fact that have already downloaded an and will not let me move forward. Someone at work said that if I got my activation code original, I should be able to transfer it to my new computer, but have long deleted the original activation e-mail. Anyone know how I can fix this problem?

  You should contact your employer or IT helpdesk. You have noted that this was a few years before, are you still working at the company that provided you have access to the software? If this isn't the case, it is likely means, they have prevented you from continue using the software when you left the company as part of the license agreement.

• How to transfer a license of Windows 8

  I have a pro license of Windows 8 and installed on an old laptop.

  I want to install Windows 8 on my laptop today. Is there a way to disable the existing windows license and activate it on my new laptop?

  I got this license in India and I reside now in Germany.

  Thank you

  Well, the first thing you'd have to do is to withdraw the license of the current computer or at least uninstall the product key then proceed to upgrade the new laptop using the same key.

  On the old computer:

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click prompt (Admin)

  At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs - upk

  Press enter, this will uninstall the product key of the computer and to the evaluation mode, you are now free to use it on another computer.

  Update the computer to Windows 8 Pro:

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click System

  On Windows, click the link:

  Get more features with a new edition of Windows

  
  

  Click on the "I already have a product key link.

  Enter your product key and you will be promoted to the Pro.

  Because the key was already in use, you may need to reactivate by phone:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

  
  

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  In regards to the old computer, if it came with an earlier version of Windows such as Windows 7 or Vista, use the recovery partition to reinstall or to reinstall the older version of the original install media.

• How my original windows publishing recovery home premium

  Currently, I intall than a non-genuine windows 7 ultimate, but I have a problem with that. Now, I want to recover my original os, because I have my product key. How do I get my windows publishing recovery home premium?

  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. 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.
  ------------------------------------
  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
  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".

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
