How to install windows 8 using an product key OEM (under construction)
Hello everyone. I bought a computer laptop sony vaio about a year ago and he had 8 integrated windows which clrealy means that the product key is embedded in the motherboard. Now the thing is I want to dual boot with ubuntu and use it alongside windows 8.1 (that I've updated 8) and the ubuntu installation went a little worse. When I went to reinstall I erased by mistake my hard drive and all I was left with was an operating system reinstalled ubuntu. Now I know that the product key for the windows kernel 8 is in my motherboard, so I want to install windows 8 on it, but it seems that there is no way I can get the iso standard for installation. I tried to use the 'upgrade of windows with a single product key' by Microsoft after the extraction of my key by using a program, but it says my key cannot be used to obtain a version of windows.
Im stuck pretty bad here now, and any help would be appreciated. -There should be a solution because after all I don't have a genuine product key-
As you probably know, most of the machines are supplied with recovery disks more, they just put in another partition on the hard drive. Sometimes, you can get this in now shift while clicking the option restart from the menu of the power.
Given that, most of the manufacturers have prepared with their own solutions. My computer Vaio from Sony has a button of special pinhole that I had to press with a paper clip to enter into recovery mode. Other manufacturers have other options, some require a USB thumbdrive to enter recovery, or a CD.
At this point, you probably want to contact your manufacturer to find out which method of recovery they use. I hate to bring bad news, but they'll probably say "why did not a recovery USB disk? (as if someone creates their own set of disks of repair when they receive a new computer).
Help a friend with a Dell laptop (did not have a problem, but wanted to install a pure one)
passing), Dell sent us a free night FedEx ship from a restore CD. The manufacturer of your can be so nice. I know that Sony was not. If the recovery of my Vaio button didn't work, they wanted $60 for a CD!
Anyway, the manufacturer is your best bet, that now, if you don't have a USB self made for recovery.

How to install Windows XP using USB Flash Drive in Windows 7?
I m windows 7 and want to install windows xp, how to install windows xp using a usb flash drive. I have the iso file from xp.
Hello
The Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool is designed for the installation of Windows 7, is not for the installation of XP.
I suggest that you use Google that Microsoft does not support what you want to do.

Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it?
Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it. I found a Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and downloaded so I can install it. on my computer, I have the key, but no CD.
Vista is now at the SP2 level.
No public download free "legal" of any MS OS does exist, with the exception of trial versions.
Anything you download from a public site carries the risk of associated malware that can be hidden in the facility and is to be avoided like the plague, it may turn out be a carrier.

Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?
Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other? Or can I use a disc that I have to restore the windows on a second laptop and activate it with a different product key? It is not a question to find out how many users I can put in place, but whether the disk and product key are mutually exclusive.
As long as the product key matches the edition, it should work perfectly, no exclusivity.

What happens if I install a new windows on a computer product key OEM windows laptop?
I bought a laptop in 2009 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM on it (I still have the sticker of the portable product key).
This year, I bought a larger capacity HARD drive and installed on my laptop.
I thought it was the perfect time to upgrade to Windows 7, so I bought a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate.
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my HDD new and used the new Windows 7 Ultimate DVD product key.
My questions are,
What will happen to the product key Windows Vista Home Basic OEM?
If it is replaced with the new product key?
Is the OEM product key became invalid?
Now I use Windows Pro 10, as a free upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, so...
What my new Windows 10 Pro registered product key?
I know that since windows 8, the product key is installed on the BIOS (am I right?).
then, how it actually works?
Thank you very much for the reply.
Kind regards

Hello
No matter if you did a clean Windows 7 or updated installation to upgrade to windows 7 from Vista, this OEM Vista product key is blocked on this computer and cannot be transferred to another machine.
You can only use this key OEM of Vista to reinstall Vista on this particular machine and start over.
Licensing rules (my words)
If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.
Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Rec would be the free upgrade to 10 7 as Vista never qualified for the free upgrade to 10.
The key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.
The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.
But there is no product key for your free upgrade to 10.
Hardware configuration you laptop is stored on Microsoft servers and how your machine will be recognized if you always want to reinstall 10.
See you soon.

I have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.
original title: product keyI have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.
Sorry, but there is no such thing as «Window7 Holiday Home Edition» This is the ultimate. Home Basic or Home Premium.
He intervenes, it it is preinstalled on your laptop and the laptop died, the license to use, he died with him. It cannot be moved to another computer.
Preloaded is an OEM version and the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

Use the product key OEM with Windows Vista fresh install
Hello. I got my Acer Aspire 5517 laptop for my birthday a few years ago (with Vista pre-installed). A genuine OEM product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. How can I use it with a new installation? Or can I somehow get an ISO or CD OEM Microsoft's file, or download it online somehow? Please don't tell me to upgrade to Windows 7, as I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend right now. Thank you!

Re-install Windows 8 with integrated product key.
Original title: pre-installed windows product key.
I had my laptop (Dell) with pre-installed Windows 8 months ago. Now I want to reinstall windows because there is a problem with the operating system and the need of the product key. But, I'm not, I just find the ID of the product instead.
I already looked on this issue in the Dell Web site, said that: for Windows 8, the product key is 'fed' on the computer at the factory and the installation process and activation motherboard refer to the computer's BIOS to check authenticity and activate Windows. No Windows product key is also provided or required by the customer
Thanks in advance!
Your answer is in your question. If you perform a clean installation, it will automatically find your key from the BIOS and you won't need to enter.
However, if you want to extract, you can use the program free belarc advisor .
