How to recover the product key after formatting?
Original title: ask
Hi, I formatted my hard drive of the PC... and I lost my product key. you will need to recover my product key. What can I do? Help me please!
Hello
If pre-installed, look for the PK on the COA sticker.
The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.
With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.
If you can't find that, order the recovery media from the manufacturer of the computer that must install without your input of a PK.
Check with the manufacturer...
See you soon.

laptop HP 250 g2: how to recover the product key
I want to recover my product key to activate my windows
Hello;
Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
You must not be activate Windows on your laptop.If you have deleted the installation of the OS and replaced by one you what whether you downloaded (for example, a file ISO from Microsoft), that won't work because, most likely, this will be a commercial version and your product key is an OEM from HP version.
That said, you should be able to retrieve the key using this utility: download Windows OEM product key 1.0.0.1 tool
Good luck

How to recover my product key of windows 8, I installed the windows 10 techniques view without taking backup I need to go back to my windows 8 pls someone help
Hi Carmen,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.
I understand that you had not taken any prior backup upgrade to Windows 10 Technical Preview and need product key to retrieve Windows 8.
So, first of all, I suggest you to check the product key in email messages when you purchased the license to the product for Windows 8. Once you get the product key, you can create a Windows 8 ISO and reinstall using this product key. See the following article:
To create installation media Windows 8.1
However, if you had bought the system pre-installed with Windows 8. Then, you may need to contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) system for Windows 8 discs to restore the older operating system.
Hope this information is useful. Let us know the results for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

Retrieve the product key after decommissioning
Hello!
A "friend" of mine took my Lenovo Y500 ideapad with an installation of Windows 8 and downgraded to Windows 7.
Unfortunately, the guy has destroyed the recovery partition in the process.
My question: is it still possible to recover the product key of Windows 8? I would like to reinstall Windows by using the product key from factory.
I tried some freeware, but they don't detect my Windows product key 7.
Thank you!
Hello and welcome,
If the laptop came originally with a factory Win 8.x install the product key is embedded in the BIOS.
When you install the same version of 8.x (STD, Pro), it should activate automatically.

How to get the product key I purchased previously?
How to get the product key I purchased previously?
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.
An update Anytime, you should have the key in an e-mail message from Microsoft. If you log in the website to store, you should be able to find the email conversation.
If another provider such as a key, then you will need to go back to them.
If your Windows starts now while you can use a keyfinder utility to read the registry key.

The product key is not already stuck on the bottom of the laptop?
Turn it over and take a look.
Wouldn't hurt to write the product key and put it somewhere safe, just in case the product key becomes worn or damaged on the bottom of the laptop.
