  I read somewhere that the COA (certificate of authenticity) sticker is not attached to the machine more. Instead, it will be incorporated in the BIOS setting. So maybe it's even for me.

  Now I want to make sure before reinstalling my windows 8 OS how my new installation of windows 8 get authenticated with serial key valid?
  When I reinstall.
  Require a Windows-8 serial key? If Yes, then where I will get it?
  It will be automatically the system BIOS (shipped)? If yes then how to confirm that it is integrated into my system?
  If two options above does not work for me so I have to do?

  Can I get my windows serial key product ID 8?

  My requirement is to double my machine bootable, so my other question is can I do this?

  Thank you

  I bought a product key on the Microsoft site, and a few days later I received the disks by mail (a year ago). I now use it on this computer, I plan on building a new computer soon. I'll be able to disable this old computer product key and activate it on the new?

  Just remove it from the computer, on which it is currently installed and proceed to install on the new and reactivated by phone.

  Please note:

  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.

• Updating Win 7 32 Bit to Win 7 64 bit with the same product key

  Hey,.

  I bought a laptop computer where is installed Win 7 Pro 32 Bit. Now, I want to install Win 7 pro 64 bits with the same product key. I have the required software. Is this possible?

  Yes, you can use the same product key to install and activate the 64-bit version.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  I have windows7 64-bit with the computer acer laptop, but I want to change to 32 bit can it is possible with the same product key?

  If you have a retail version of Windows 7, then it is more than likely came with discs both 64-bit and 32-bit. In this case, boot from the 32-bit disk and do a clean install.

  If the 64-bit version has been pre-installed, then you need to contact Acer to see if they have a 32-bit recovery disc.

• Can't download Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Disc Images (ISO files) with the license product key

  A few months ago, I bought a laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit pre-installed, used with supplied installation disc. There is a hologram sticker COA affixed to the laptop with a product key. I used this key to activate the phone without problem. I was then able to install SP1 and various other updates over time.

  Recently, I decided that I should have a Windows installation disc (Windows Update has slowed to a crawl and doesn't, and I maybe to repair or reinstall it with the disk).

  I have entered my product key on Microsoft Web page to 'Download the Windows 7 disc Images (ISO files)'. But I got an error message:

  "The product key you have entered seems to be for software pre-installed by the manufacturer of the device. Contact the manufacturer of the software device for recovery options. »

  Running 'Winver' shows that my product is authorized.

  Running "slmgr.vbs - dli" shows the partial product key and license status "allowed."

  If I contact the seller, what what can they give me other than the product key valid I already activated?

  How can I download an installation image for the s/w Windows 7 that I activated?

  Thanks for your help.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

• New hard drive gets the INVALID disc Windows 7 64 bit upgrade product key!

  I installed Windows 7 Home Premium and within 24 hours, my hard drive is dead. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium with 64-bit disc. Everything went well until the time of the entry of the product key. When I typed in the key of this program returned an INVALID KEY message and instructed me to check and retype the key, I did. Product key message invalid was repeated. I have not installed a previous version of windows before you reinstall 7, and the installation program never asked me to check my right to use the upgraded version (Yes, I used the CUSTOM install method).

  The INVALID PRODUCT KEY message due to the absence of an earlier version of windows is detected on the new hard drive? I need to install my OLD version of windows before proceeding with Windows 7, can I? Please help me understand what is happening with this PC. I convinced my sister to be upgraded because Windows 7 is SO much in my PC, so that she bought the upgrade disc and tried for a week to get its system works as well as mine has inlaw for several months. I have not heard of someone having this much trouble with the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Product keys don't care equipment. They only care about the version of Windows that you are trying to install. (However, you cannot validate a facility later but this is another topic).

  If your product key is rejected, then you are two typing errors or you are using a key that does not match the DVD that you are using. This could happen if you use a MS Office key for a Windows installation to a key of Windows 7 OEM for a DVD retail of Windows 7.
