• I can install Windows 7 without initially providing the product key?

  Peut I install Windows 7 without initially provide the product key during installation?  I'd rather go once the installation is finished, I just have to copy and paste it in the email like that.

  Hello

  Yes, you can try a free key of Windows 7 Installation. But be sure that you enter the product key to activate Windows wihtin 30 days grace period. Once the 30 days grace period end your system will go in any safe and you may need to reinstall the copy again.

  Unlike Windows Vista, if you si vous achetez buy Windows 7 DVD you get specified edition disk and installation you will not get an option to select the edition. Almost to the last step of the Installation, you will get the opportunity to enter the product key that you can jump and try to enter the product at the time of the Activation key.

• "The product key entered don't match any available to install Windows images. Enter a different product key.

  Greetings!

  Create a custom DVD of Windows 7 with pre installed office 2010, applications, drivers, updates and custom in GPEdit settings.

  Used Windows 7 DVD, downloaded from the Internet and installed all the software and then sysprep for oobe.
  Captured by using ImageX, install.wim custom size is almost 6.7 GB.

  Replaced the custom with the original install.wim file and the error message:
  "The product key entered don't match any available to install Windows images. Enter a different product key.
  This error message appears after pressing the button "install now".

  On that note, I removed file ei.cfg of Windows 7 ISO, now I get that says - could not locate the image

  Any suggestions would be acceptable.

  It is an equivalent using a product key from a version (say OEM) on a different version (e.g. retail). If you can get a download from the MSDN site, then you can also get a matching key for her.

• I would like to know how to re - install windows on a laptop with the product key on the back of the laptop.

  install windows with the product key

  someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.

  or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.

  I thank you for your time and have a good day.

  If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition.  If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation.  At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.

  If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.

  Hello

  I just bought a pc that was advertised on facebook, he has Windows 7 Professional installed, I asked if he had the drive, but I was told that it has been installed by a computer scientist with a purchased product key.

  I want to reformat the h/d and to reinstall the software, how can I do this using the product key?

  Hello Tony

  It depends on the type of license that is on the PC. to determine this, the simplest method is to run the MGADiag tool:

  Download MGADiag (by Microsoft) from the link below:

  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52012

  Run the tool by double-clicking the file. Press to continue when prompted

  When it is finished, press on copy and then paste (Ctrl + V) in your next post please

  Please also indicate which version of windows is mentioned on your COA sticker (if you have one) but do not publish the key.

• Re-install Windows 8, it will choose the product key?

  OT: Re-install Windows 8.

  My computer broke down and all restore points do not work.

  I have a Windows 8 OS install disc, but I don't know my registration key activation/for Windows 8 OS came with the computer.

  If I start a new installation on the laptop, he automatically picks up the key from the bios, or what I have to enter manually in?

  If I don't have to enter, someone know how I can find it using the command line or in the registry?

  Thank you!

  If you use your drive and it came with the computer, it is automatically activated when you reinstall. If the disc is not a detail, it will not activate and in this case, you will need to use either the recovery Partition - if your computer comes with one - or contact your computer manufacturer's technical support and ask them to send you a full set of Recovery DVD. They usually charge a small fee for these for help to cover their costs (under US $20.00 for my HP).  Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

• Try to get an install Image, but she says that my product key is not valid

  Hi all!

  Recently I just tried to install Windows on a Mac and when I try to get an install Image it says: "invalid product key".

  I do not understand why this happens upwards I'm getting the key to product directly out of the back of a laptop computer, the only problem is that I don't know what OS it is.

  Any help on this is appreciated!

  Also, I am turning the question on my Mac is because the laptop does not work, I have another that I could try to use!

  Thank you!

  ~ indy

  You can't use a mac on windows key and you cannot use a key off a lapot broken to activate windows on a mac.  You need a valid windows key for your operating system.  What OS are you trying to install?  How are you trying to install?

• How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?

  Product key for reinstallation question

  I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer.  I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time.  The sticker on my computer displays a product key.  When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key.  Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc?  Thanks for any help.

  PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.

  If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied 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.

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

• I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

  I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

  Thank you

  If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

  You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

  If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

  However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.
