How to tell windows to use the hardware embedded product key when it changes on Windows 8

I just did a clean install of Windows 8 on a laptop that I bought with Windows pre-installed on it. For this I used a windows key, I bought last year and that I currently use on another computer.

What I want to do is to change my product key and get Windows 8 to use the one built into the motherboard instead of the one that I had to enter during installation.
Any suggestion?
Thank you!

The key embedded can be used only with the support of recovery of the manufacturers. You can not use with retail media.

  • Use the Express Upgrade product key to Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home premium to Windows 7 Professional.

    Original title: Win7 pro anytime upgrade/Win XPmode.

    I just installed Win7 64 bit Home Premium (Retail) on a new PC.

    There are a few applications that works properly (or at all) on the new Win7 64 bit PC. (they ran OK on win7/32 and XP/32)

    I wanted to try and install on win7/64 PC XPMODE and run these applications from there, when I tried to install XPmode on the win7/64 home premium, the only choice who would have even tried to install was Win XPmode 64 bit (but of course, all this was doomed to failure because XPmode requires Win7 Pro).

    I have a 32 bit (Retail) win7 which has been upgraded with anytime upgrade to Win7 Pro.

    Can I use the Anytime Upgrade prod. key at least temporarily (I know that this license is for 1 PC ONLY) update the new Win7/64 Win7 Pro, install XPmode 64 bit to see if these applications will run on a 64-bit XP?

    If it works I'll tell you how to disable the worm on the old PC Pro and use it on the new PC.

  • Relocation of preinstalled Windows 8 ISO downloaded using the preinstalled OS product key

    My Toshiba Satellite M840, pre-installed with windows 8, will not reinstall/refresh using the built-in refresh / reset. I need to reinstall because when I updated from windows back 8.1 for windows 8, my BONES may have not installed properly and its always blocked. I tried to search several times, but it seems that the only solution is to reinstall. Even the store won't work. Also, I can't install Microsoft Office 2013. Can I reinstall windows 8 since an ISO downloaded without losing all my personal files? I was also able to extract my product key so I can use it to reinstall windows 8. Are they possible?

    The retail trade. ISO file does not work with the pre-installed key. Your best option would be to contact Toshiba for recovery media:

    My external hard drive has two partitions. We're "Healthy (primary partition)", the other is "unallocated".

    When I right click on the partition menu popup are faded/not usable.

    You can create a partition in the unallocated in disk management space.

  • torrenting a new copy of vista for use with a correct product key

    I hesitate because I want to reinstall in order to eradicate viruses and other nasty stuff on the hard drive.

    I don't think that it counts as piracy, since I already have a copy of Vista installed, I just want something to reinstall with. What other options can I without spending money to repair the windows installation without any CD on a laptop Acer Aspire 55702Z?]

    I know, multiple threads on the same thing is a bad idea, but I don't know whether or not this belongs in this thread:

    The version of Windows Vista that is available for download seems to be pirated.  In all cases, you can not activate it with your computer OEM product key.  As this web page says you need to purchase a license and get a genuine product key.

    Contact Acer and ask a legal installation for your computer model DVD.

    How to tell if someone uses remote adjustment to control the use of my computer?

    * original title - monitoring computer use *.

    Hello

    Why do you think that someone is watching your computer use? One would have to have
    loaded tracking software (trojan) on your computer or have access to the source of the network
    you use, such as cable, on your leg of it and have very sophisticated equipment.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

    I understand that you want to disable the open Internet Explorer at startup option.

    Method 1
    Step 1: I suggest to start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Startup options (including safe mode)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2: If the problem is solved in SafeMode with networking, then I suggest to perform clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.

  • Can I use a number of product key finder instead of the number on the sticker to reinstall windows vista Home premium?

    The sticker on the bottom of the laptop is half faded way so I don't have the original full product key number, the one I have from a product keys finder is different of course it will still work when you perform a full system restore?

    If your Vista is pre-installed when you purchased your computer, you have an OEM version. The only correct product key for your computer is attached to your computer.

    The game of product key that you got through the software 'key finder' will NOT work for you.

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer. Ask what follows...

    1. a set of recovery disks. The cost is minimal, and the money will be well spent. You can use the set to restore your computer to factory State.

    2. ask to talk to a technician. Ask technology to teach you how to access your recovery Partition and use it to make the recovery of the system. They installed the recovery partition, not Microsoft. They know exactly how to use it.

    The advice above do not require using the product key.

    To continue to use the serial you paid for you simply continue using the software that the license has been purchased is valid for (which is all what you have bought in 2013).  Your Adobe Suite has no relationship with the creative cloud.  Your serial number is only valid for the product for which it was purchased.  If you want to use cloud products, you must purchase a subscription.
