HP pavilion dv4 lost product key

I have hp pavilion dv4-2118tx inslalled with windows 7 Home premium original...
one day... I got in big trouble...
until I decided to install a retail windows 7... Unfortunately the product key from the back side was broken... I can't read it over, I call hp customer care asking for this problem of licency back on my windows, but they have no idea about my problem...
now... my laptop had a windows 7 ultimate installed, but not the original...

is there a solution to get microsoft windows 7 licency?

The only way I know to retrieve the product key is when the operating system is still working.  During the installation of a retail Windows 7, you must have the license key ready fpr where the BONE is the application.

If you do a USB thumbdrive media recovery or recovery disks, now would be a good time to use it.

Normally, when you use a recovery disk on the laptop, it was created, the Recovery Manager installs the product key for the operating system on its own.

If you do not have a recovery media then you choice will have to buy a HP recovery disk or a HP Partner or buy a DVD of Windows 7 installation with license key.

Best regards

  • Pavilion Notebook: Lost product key

    I lost my product key for Windows 8.  I wanted to upgrade to 10 windows, but the internet does not work on it.  So I went to ubuntu 14.10.  I do not have ubuntu as much as Windows 8/7, because I think that Windows 8/7 is faster and easier to use.  The steam is really slow, if I want the game garry's mod, it will crash if I do certain things. :/

    There are all kinds of bugs when I run things with ubuntu.  I want to save windows 8, and I want it to be quick like the old days.  Because garry mod is REALLY fun, and now it goes down for some reason any. :/

    Help someone. : c

    You don't mention if your computer comes with Win 8 is installed.  If it was the case the product key is integrated into the BIOS.  There is no way to recover it without third party software.

    It is a 25-digit number on a sticker number in 5 groups of 5 digits.

    I bought windows 8 on November 27, 2012 at a local retail store and I even my Bill.

    I installed it on my PC and everything was going well until the day my CPU everything has exploded and I had to fix it.

    After repair, I found that my product was not activated, and when I tried to turn it back on, the great mishap was even, I lost my product key to this moment there.

    Now what should I do?

    Thanks in advance a ton.

    Mihir salvation,

    I'm sorry to know that you are facing problems with activation. I wish to inform you that, whenever there is a significant change in material to the computer, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time, you may be required to activate Windows again. You do a repair after your CPU, Windows asked you to activate the copy.

    I suggest you ask the retail store that had purchased you the copy of Windows 8 with the purchase invoice because they will better help you to provide the product key and help you to activate the copy of Windows.

    Alternatively, you can contact Microsoft activation for assistance. Consult the following link:

    Hello

    The product key of Windows 8 (I guess it was the operating system that came with your laptop) is integrated into the chip of your system BIOS. Even if the hard drive is replaced, the product key remains intact in the motherboard BIOS chip.

    So, when you put the new hard drive & try to recover the Windows 8 operating system in your new drive, the OS will automatically activate of the product key in the BIOS chip. You don't have to do it manually.

    But, in case you got a message to activate Windows 8, you will need to contact HP or Microsoft technical support in your region.

    This problem can also occur if the Windows activation file is corrupted. I suggest you phone activation.

    1. press Windows + X key then click Run, and then type: slui.exe 4
    2. then press the ENTER"" key.
    3. Select your "country" in the list.
    4. choose the option "activate phone":
    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/customer-service-phone-numbers
    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    NOTE:  if your system came with Windows preinstalled 8 then you need to install Windows 8 of disc/partition recovery and then upgrade to Windows 8.1.

    If you have installed Windows 8.1 OEM (bought separately) then the Windows 8 key delivered with the device will not work and you need to contact Microsoft to get an or activate.

    Hope this helps,

    Thank you

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1355dx: laptop startup problems and lost product key

    My laptop is not starting. I get the message "device not found Boot. Please install the operating system on your hard disk "." I tried the steps listed on the HP website (step 1: Hard reset, step 2: restore default BIOS settings, step 3: hard disk Test, step 4: reconnect the hard drive, step 5: System Recovery), but the problem persists.

    Please guide me in the following things.
    1. What can be done to fix this? I got control of the laptop of one of the centres of local services. They said that there is a problem with the hard drive. I'll have to get the replaced disk. I have no other option?
    2. I bought my laptop in 2009. It came with Windows 7 Edition home premium. Now, I don't have a product key to reinstall the same copy of windows 7. Also, I am not able to connect to the laptop because of that I won't be able to retrieve the product key from your laptop. The sticker on the back of the laptop is not more readable. It hits the major options to retrieve the key. Is there another method by which I can retrieve the key? So far, I used to restore my computer laptop settings every time I need to format my laptop.

    3. the only thing I have with me are recovery disks (3 in total). These will be of any help in order to get the windows installed on the new hard drive? Other suggestions pls?

    Looks like a bad HDD. Your product key of WIn7 which carried out the sticker on the underside of your laptop. You must get the HP HP recovery or 3rd party disc to restore your system to the rear. And there's a good chance your HARD drive is bad and must be replaced.

  • Pavilion 500 - c60: product key

    If I chose to load Windows 7 Home OS on the 8.1 that sits on the newly purchased Pavilion 500 - c60 will be I had problems? AND if I choose to RELOAD 8.1 on the computer in the future how do I get the product key if as you say his anchored in the bios?

    Thanks for your replies. My reason for decommissioning is a requirement with my Autocad Architecture 2012 which does not work on windows 8.1. Stupid me! I should have looked into this before buying the computer. But I like the computer because it is a 64 bit with 8 GB of memory and I love the W8.1 too. Very compatible with my ph sound cell phone android. So until I can afford to upgrade my Autocad I'm stuck with Win7.

  • How can I recover a lost product key?

    I have forget my license of Vista and I want to re install on my computer but I knead the license and I lost

    I want just the original key to activate my Vista Business SP1

    No, the thing is the License Key is written @ the back of my PC but the sticker is gone and I need... can I communicate with any body or do something to get it again

    If you reinstall the operating system or restore factory initially provided for the computer disks or if you use on the computer factory restore partition you need not the key product on the sticker of the computer (COA SLP below.)  That is only used when you upgrade the bios of the computer, or another problem it happens that the installer cannot self turn on the computer.

    The following text was published previously in another forum by Darin Smith MS (MSFT) and can probably answer better I could question:

    "Computers, which are built by the large manufacturers come with Windows pre-installed, come with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (bottom or sometimes a laptop battery) of your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, this case when OEM SLP key ceases to be activated for some reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

    As long as the installation of Vista came on the computer you won't need the product key.

  • Lost product key, still have the installation DVD

    Hello, I have a bit of concern. I recently had to reinstall my copy of Windows Vista Home Premium on my computer due to a virus. Unfortunately, during the three years that I had been able to run my computer, I had misplaced my product key. However, I still have the installation disc.

    Now, I tried to activate my copy of Windows through the toll-free telephone service. The automatic activation system says that it is impossible to validate the code I had read it and redirect me to the customer service. Once there, a man, Joe, told me he would give me an activation code of 25 replacement characters, but since I couldn't provide him with mine, he will have to redirect me. Once I was redirected again, I didn't particularly understand what this other man told me. To my surprise, the conversation ended abruptly, and the call ends.

    The computer that needs validation has been custom-made. It has not come pre-configured with an activated copy of Windows. This DVD is all I have. Can someone suggest a good course of action?

    My sincerest thanks,

    David

    If the product key was installed on the computer, we could get it back with a software, but when you re-installed you erased it is is no longer available.  I'm afraid, there is nothing really that can be done - you need the product key to activate and Microsoft is not going to give you one just because you have a disk (or even if you have the receipt).  The same thing will happen to you if you try to activate without a valid product key.

    Here is Microsoft's policy on the replacement of lost or missing software (in this case, the loss of key product is essentially the same thing):http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246.

    I'm sorry, there is nothing else we can do to help you - but without the product key you have little or no options.

    Good luck!

  • Lost product key for MS streets & trips agreement 2009. Is there a record (recording) at Microsoft?

    I recently upgraded from Vista to Win7 and lost files, including the streets & trips 2009 I bought in late 2008 or early 2009. When I try to reinstall S & T09, using the original disk, I wonder, enter the product key. I don't have an account of the key to Sting (stupid on my part). I have the CD, the case plastic and paper hard 'box' it came to, but not the original packaging. Can I get the key to sting of Microsoft? I don't know that I registered it with Microsoft during my first install @early 2009. -* E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    Hi Vintondale,

    Yes, you're in luck because you do not have the original DVD plastic case. The product key, if I remember correctly, is on a sticker inside the DVD case or on the back of it.

    And, moreover, there is now a new streets and trips 2010. It has several feature improvements.
