How to find the license key for WINDOWS 8.1 which was preinstalled?

I bought a Dell Inspiron laptop 14-5447 which has 8.1 pre-installed WINDOWS. I made a recovery disk, but I could not find anywhere license key. I don't need to have a license key, if I ever need to re - install the OS? How can I find the license key? Thank you

The key is stored in THE system BIOS, and is read automatically during a re - install if necessary.  You can see the key using one of the utilities such as Belarc Advisor free system scan.

    Hi Mohammed'metwally,.

    Please answer this question to get more clarity on this issue.

    • The application or program that you use the partition of the drive?

    This problem may occur if the partition table is damaged or altered. As a result, the recovery partition does not work. I'm sorry to know that you are facing this problem.

    You will not get the unique language anywhere to download setting. You have an OEM computer that comes with the product key integrated into the BIOS. The product key of Windows 8 on new machines is now integrated in the machine. It uses the Secure Boot technology. When you perform a new installation of Windows 8, the installation program ask a product key and will be automatically get it from your system and proceed with the installation.

    As Windows 8 came pre-installed, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer with this problem for more help.

  • EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

    My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

    Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

    OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

    Hello

    There is no exchange available for you product key

    There is NO right to downgrade to Vista Home Premium or Basic

    you will need to BUY XP from somewhere: computer store, eBay, etc.

    and read this:

    Installation of XP instead of Vista:

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

    Then buy a disc XP and license.

    Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

    Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

    Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  • Cannot find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium

    I don't have the product key of Windows 7 Home Premium? Where can I find it?

    Original title: Charles 111

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    I would like to ask you:

    • Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?

    If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.

    If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.

    Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.

    I'm playing a game that connects to live on steam. He asked my windows product key which I didn't, but I discovered how to get without going through it. I got about 5 + programs for giving me my product key number anyway. But I always get an error message. I checked it more than 10 times. Still does not work. Is it possible for a person to miscrosoft to give me or I can call and they can give me?

    Hello Elias1724,

    Steam ask the product key for the game and not your product key for the Windows operating system.

    Where did you buy the game to install it?
    You bought the game on Steam? If so, then they would need the product key.
    Have you received an email with a link to download the game?

    It is not your Windows product key.
