How to find product key Windows 8.1 on the laptop?

• Need to find the original product key Windows 8 to reactivate the laptop!

  Hello

  I bought the laptop with Win 8 pre - install a few months back. Today, I decided to try to install Windows Media Center, and so after a bit of research I was directed to a Web page that said looking for 'add features' on the sidebar to win 8. She provided a cd key too that the requested Web site would be to activate Windows 8 Pro (including the media) for 90 days as a trial.

  To put in this new product key in and restart the computer, I now get the error code: 0xC004F074 on the Activation of Windows program, but also a watermark at the bottom that says: "activate Windows, go into settings of PC to activate Windows.

  The trial of course did not work and the product key is not valid. I would go back to the use of the product key of Windows 8 that came with the laptop, but I don't have the box of the laptop and there is no sticker on the bottom with the windows key on it 8. I tried a cd key recovery program, but the only key that appears is invalid I put in today, and not the key ive used since the first day.

  I live in the United Kingdom, but the laptop was purchased in a store online in America.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance!

  Its likely that your computer came with Windows 8 and not Windows 8 Pro. You cannot add a key Windows 8 Pro Pack or Media Center unless you bought. There is no option available test.

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  My recommendation would be to restore your computer to its factory settings:

  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.

  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".

• How to find product key Windows XP home sp3

  Too late.

  The product key is on the packaging (box or envelope) that contains your Windows XP Home CD.

  If you have lost the package, then before you reinstalled you might have found the key to the registry using one of the available tools (e.g., http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/).  Now that you have reinstalled, however, that the key is missing.

• Retrieve the product key Windows 7 Pro when the laptop has been restored to Windows Vista

  My laptop fujitsu has been sent for repair; the technician has restored the settings to factory default which wiped out the Professional Windows 7 operating system. My laptop has been improved by Windows Vista Edition Fujitsu Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional during a previous repair. How one don't get the product key for Windows 7 Professional in this case? Should I inform Microsoft of my laptop series No. to recover the product key of Windows 7 Professional? If so, then how do then? Thank you very much for your quick response.

  If the machine has been 'improved' during a repair - then they must have attached the relevant sticker of COA or PoL card to the machine.

  If they don't, and you do not specifically for the upgrade, then it has never been a valid upgrade.

• Find product key Windows 8 on a computer that does not start

  I bought a laptop Lenovo, a little over a year and all of a sudden, he started a loop when I try to turn it on. The computer seems to want to start with the Lenovo logo and then I get a blue screen with an irritating "your PC has encountered a problem and needs to restart." We are only collecting the error information and then we'll restart for you. : ("message and then the computer restarts and does it again and again and and more.")

  I brought my friend who is a technician and he said that I need the product key Windows 8 to create the Recovery Disk/USB. So I checked the area in which my laptop has been delivered to and there is no product key is located. Is it possible to find even if my computer does not start? I can access the configuration screen, but I can't find anywhere here either.

  Any help with this would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  No, if you have a recent version of Windows 7 installed on a computer and used the product key to activate it.  The PK is good for a single computer.

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite u300. I got there an hour required to access my Microsoft Vista product key from the bottom of my laptop. To my horror, the sticker has a few scratches and at least one of the characters is unrecognizable. Another character was overshadowed, but it seems to be part of a '4 '.

  My question: "is there another place where I can find the product key? For example, can I get from the recovery disk?

  -I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive.  He is now not letting me turn it back on.  What should I do?  I don't want my computer or Microsoft thinks I use a version of Windows

  It is Windows 7 Home Premium, and I my here in front of me activation code.  But it is to say that it is not valid.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
