HP Envy DV4 - impossible to activate Windows

I have already contacted HP Invent that loop me with some other helpdesk that I loop back to invent which looped towards some other helpdesk who tried of me loop back to inventing.

Anyway, the last time around the support guy (he says that his name is Steve) was very condescending and not offered any help and says it is for members only and was told that I don't have the know-how to reinstall an operating system.  Then, he began to hit the hold button, sent me to invent.

Basically, a friend bought a laptop and got virus on it.  I went and reformat the hard drive and installed Windows 8.1 and have no way to activate it now, as there is no license key sticker anywhere to find.

Now, I see that you are supposed to use the recovery option in Windows and invent and this other premium helpdesk can apparently do anything at this point.

Is it possible to activate the point of Windows without having to buy another copy of Windows 8 retail?  Seems ridiculous that they would switch to this method to have a BIOS SLIC with an inserted key that you can not activate out of.

Hello:

I have an idea and see if it works...

Download the drivers from this link below (first listed file - 64-bit).

https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y & ProdId = 2101 & DwnldID = 23060 & Keyword = Intel + rapi...

Extract the files on a usb flash drive.

With the flash drive and the installation of W8 media plugged into the machine, boot from the installation of W8 media.

After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

You should now see the storage driver files listed.

If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

Follow the prompts and hopefully, W8 should install.

    Older versions of Windows offer a product key to activate Windows (as it is written on a sticker COST or built-in BIOS/UEFI).

    Windows 10 offers another option, called right digital.

    Probably, you had older versions of Windows and free upgrade to win 10. In order to keep your old version keys active Windows, Microsoft enabled Windows 10 using the new method. Win 10 has been activated using Windows 7 or 8 button, then this key would have been valid for the 2 versions of Windows (which is impossible).

    More information about this new option:

    Maybe you can get temporary, the computer HARD disk and reinstall Windows on the SSD drive. Then you can insert the HDD tray in and when everything is ready, you can format the HARD drive and use it as an extra.

    If your computer came with Windows 8.1 or 7 preinstalled and later upgraded to Windows 10, you can use the recovery media to install the previous edition of Windows, and then upgrade to Windows 10

    Alternatively, you can try to clone your disk SSD using a software like Clonezilla:

    Hey guys.

    I downloaded Windows 8 Pro through my Software assurance license. I installed it on a test PC, and I have a MAK key. I'm still to enter this key, and I do not see anywhere to enter. Windows 7 change product key could not be found, and if I try and turn on windows, I get the error: 0x8007007B "the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.".

  • Is impossible to activate Windows XP, computer locked up...

    I tried all day removing personal information from my old computer before I give it to a friend. At the time when I thought that I had done, I decided to do an upgrade of the Windows XP operating system installation. I thought that I would be fixing any errors. Stupid me! I made the mistake that I can't seem to overcome. Now, the computer does not start until a complete departure. I get a window that says "Windows Product Activation: this copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft you connect." You want to activate Windows now? "I answer by clicking Yes.

    Then the screen turns green in background Windows XP and State does not change the count after that. It just seems to be locked up. I cut the power supply and start hoping that it will be somehow milraculously change States and work this time... but no! Same thing again and again.

  • Impossible to "Activate Windows" - link broken or damaged, only to see a blue window with 2 Gifs in the upper corners.

    Hello

    I recently reinstalled XP Home after accident after the installation of SP3. I tried the clean install, no problems until the end of the 30-day activation period; to be honest didn't know that I needed too, but that's another story.

    After management reset the counter of 30 days, finally reconnected to XP, went through the SP3 update process ok, reboot ok, then tried Windows Update - re not headed to activation options... no problem, I have all the original disks, here's the problem though.

    I have to go through , then choose "Activate Windows" then...

    pop-up windows opens, blue background with title bar gray where it says activate Windows, but there is no option menu on screen? all I get are two. In each upper corner gif images (tells usually unloaded image on a web page)... and that's it, nadda, nothing else rises.

    I tried all the solutions on the Win Help pages (kb314935) and some other techy here guys (topics: Windows XP Home Activation window fails to run a repair... and the Article ID: 312295)

    I tried all of the following commands in the order...

    Regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll
    Regsvr32.exe licdll.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A

    I ran across the "fix" WPAEvents, which does not work either...

    I rang the activation help desk United Kingdom who advised it wasn't their problem because I wasn't getting the option to activate by phone, so they gave me the number of the UK tech support... and of course they do not work beyond 18:00 or weekend (grrr) so I rang the support American number and after 10 minutes of blocking and accumulating of my phone bill they say "we support only from the USA and Canada, team support to try to the United Kingdom"... aaaaahhhhhhh

    So what someone has any ideas that don't involve repair XP as I did this one to death.

    See you soon,.

  • HP Envy 100 - impossible to activate the scan from the printer

    I use an iMac end of 2012 and spin the Mavericks. Envy is connected to my WiFi.

    I was never able to get the urge to turn on a scan from the printer. When I press on the analysis on the printer, I get 3 options and choose 'computer '. I can get some information from introduction to scanning the computer. He says this analysis for computer is activated automatically when the printer is first set up and I need to have installed the HP printing software. This means to me that something has not been properly Setup and I can't work it out. I just updated my software as a result of Mavericks. I regularly print to the printer and am able to activate a scan of my computer.

    I read a few posts on the software uninstallation. If necessary, I don't know what needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled and how I could do that.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    HI - my apologies for the slow response.

    Would it not possible to check to see if "Scan to Computer" is enabled in the utility application from HP?  This application must be in the folder Applications/Hewlett-Packard.

    Once the application opens, you may need to select your device if it is not already selected.  The configuration option "Scan to Computer" should appear at the bottom of the document window (see attachment "Utility HP - selected ENVY").

    Try to open the "Scan to Computer" configuration item and display settings.  Please refer to attachments "utility HP - Scan to computer do not activated" and "Utility HP - compatible computer Scan" for what that might look like if the feature is enabled or disabled.

    Let me know what you see.

    Also - since your connection to the printer on a wireless network, have you tried to move the printer closer to the router or wireless access point wireless?  I'm curious to know if there may be some intermittent network connectivity that is to interrupt the function computer scanning.  I would try to move the printer right next to the wireless router access point / wireless to see if that helps the issue.

    I will continue to work on this issue for you to get the help you need.
