If Windows 8 came preininstalled on your computer:

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.

    How can I get a new code activation or my complete activation code?

    Dell provided you with restore/recovery media and/or a way to restore the machine 'default' as a key sequence?  If so - you won't need the number--unless they just sent a DVD of Windows 7 nu - and they are usually not unless you ask.

    They have probably installed using their key, which means that even with a utility like Belarc Advisor or ProduKey - you will not get the product key that matches the one on the sticker.

    Some may have you take several different digital pictures of the sticker from different angles and see if you can decipher the missing characters like that (you'd be surprised to see how that works).

  • Get the new activation key

    I bought a copy of windows 7 ultimate Windows.com/genuine after having received a notice that my copy of windows was not authentic. I bought the new activation key for almost $300 and they also sent me an installation CD where I never had to perform a reinstallation. Well my hard drive crashed and I had to purchase and install a new one, which meant the reinstallation of windows. However, I found that in some way I lost my activation code and the cover of the CD that Microsoft sent me contained not one. I called Microsoft support several times to get the reprinted to me activation key. I spent many hours being transferred from one Department to the other until they began to transfer me to the same departments several times. I have my order number, address that was sent to the, date of purchase and all. They can see my order but they can't access information on this topic for a reason, and they issue me a new code. At this point, I'm really upset because I spent a lot of money on this software only to be told that I can't use it. In addition to all this Microsoft has absolutely no way to file a complaint. I am at a loss to know what to do. The only option that Microsoft gives me is to buy a new code, but there is no way I'm paying twice for the same product, I just assumed never to use a Microsoft product to new to be dressed like that. If someone has experienced something similar, I would be grateful for help on how to get this sorted out. Thank you!

    Best regards & thanks.

    What version of Win 8.1 is the unit having now? If it's the PRO version, then probably you need to enter a product key if you reinstall. Try to download using the tool of media win 8.1 64 bit (no PRO version). Use it to install Win'a 8.1. The product key should be detected and you will not be required to enter as described above.

  • How to get the Windows 7 product key?

    My friend laptop is broken and must be reformatted. It is an Acer and did not come with any CD. It doesn't have a partition on the hard drive for files to restore. I think that someone who may have removed it long ago.

    The computer came with Windows 7 preinstalled. He has a sticker at the bottom of the laptop, but the heat green product keys and other key wear is more readable.

    I have the same version of Windows, so I was going to just to use my DVD to install Windows on your computer, and then use the product key to activate it. So that Microsoft knows that it is a copy of geninue. The entire label is faded.

    I tried to find what is the product key and I'm not. I know it must be stored in the computer somewhere I need find and write it down so I can use the same product key when I reinstall Windows on his computer. I don't think that my product key will work on his computer.

    I've read online, you can get the product key from the registry, but I have no idea how to do that. I want to just make sure I can get the computer active again once that I format it.

    Thank you.

    You should be able to order from the manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (no key needed, because the OEM SLP key is incorporated)

    Depends entirely on how you bought it in the 1st place.

    A boxed product should have the key on the DVD case, which is the only trace.
