• Accidentally, I installed my product key for Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional. Is there a possible way to activate Windows with this key?

  Activate Windows 7: Home Premium on professional product key - please help!

  Hello world

  I hope you can help me!

  I have a product key for Windows 7 Home Premium. I downloaded it online when I bought it so that I never received a disc to reformat. Someone at work gave me their CD to reformat.

  After you reformat and reinstall ALL my programs, I went to activate Windows 7 again. Guess what? Turns out that I used Windows 7 Professional to reformat.

  Really, I don't want to go through reformatting and reinstalling everything and don't even know if I'll be able to get my hands on a CD to reformat Windows 7 Home Premium.

  Is there anyway can I still activate my product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Professional? In any case I can exchange my Home Premium product key to a professional one? I love how my computer is currently configured and won't do anything else that just activate my legitimate version of Windows 7!

  Thank you all in advance for your time.

  Ramon

  The only way to do it would be to buy a license for Pro-

  Since you have already apparently a licnese to Home Premium, you could buy an upgrade, and then create a repair install with the new key.

  If you bought a full Pro license, you will be able simply to insert your new key and activate that.

  To find out which product keys are used:

  Summary

  If you have multiple Windows licenses and have installed but don't know which one is in use, use the following instructions to double check.

  Details

  Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

  User level: beginner to Expert

  If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

  Click Start, type: cmd

  Press enter on your keyboard

  

  At the command prompt, type the following command:

  slmgr - dli

  
  

  Press enter on your keyboard

  

  A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

  For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:

  
  

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click on command prompt

  Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

  Press Windows key + R

  Type: CMD

  Press enter on your keyboard

• Lost product key of Windows Vista at the back of the computer

  Original title: product key

  I need to activate my windows vista, I don't have my product key provided sticker on the back of the laptop and I don't also have a windows cd.

  Hi pavan7,

  Because Windows Vista is preinstalled on the system, you can contact the manufacturer of the system and check if you can get a product key.

• I just bought a G6 Pavilion with windows 8, where is the product key for windows?

  As above, there is a stricker saying Windows 8 64 and that's it.

  I need the product key, as to prefer a clean install and need complete recoverability in the event of a HARD disk failure.

  When I buy a laptop with a BONE, I expect to have the operating system, not 'rent' it until something bad happens.

  Thank you.

  Yes, the recovery discs can be used to start the computer and reinstall it on hdd original or new - without needing a license key.

  Victory is installed on a PC to work?

  What is a commercial version of victory that you have purchased, or one that has been preinstalled by the PC manufacturer?

  If a version pre-installed, contact your PC manufacturer, allthough using the manufacturers of PC recovery discs would not usually require any key being registered.

  If a retail version that you bought, and the PC works again Belarc Advisor will reveal the key

• I'll be able to get a product key for Windows 7 preinstalled on a computer, that I want to buy?

  I am considering buying a computer built by a computer programmer but you have disks or keys with her.  What are the potential problems with this?

  What are the potential problems? If you ever reinstall, you're screwed. Oh, legally, they are required to provide you with a resource to reinstall and the product key to go with it. You will also get unless you buy it. Don't buy from this person. Probably pirated or illegal software.

  Oh, it's a Windows XP discussion group. And you asked a question of Windows 7.

• I pre-ordered an album on iTunes and now he wants me to buy everything new.

  I pre-ordered an album on iTunes, and now on the release date, it's as if I've done anything and I'd have to pay for it. How can I get my music? I thought for pre-order as I get the day of the liberation. But not only have I not her, but now it's as if nothing had been done and have to spend the money to buy it AGAIN. At this point, I want just the album that I bought.

  Deal,

  When you have placed the pre-order, you did not pay.  You don't have to pay until the music is available, that sounds like today!  Pay for it - it will be the only time where you have to pay - and enjoy the music!

  Hello

  To add to the advice of Shawn, Amazon.com are about the only place to buy Windows 7 online with a sort of reliability. But beware the buyer is the rule.

  http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

  There are sites online that sell only product keys.

  Do not touch the as they are for most pirated product keys or MSDN subscription product keys sold several times.

  Even if you don't need it, always buy the packaged product, DVD, product key, etc. in a sealed package.

  See you soon.
