I can't activate windows license key 7

I can't activate windows 7 Professional. I installed windows 7 Home premium and upgraded to windows 7 Professional. Now, I get a message saying that my license key of windows is not original. When I try to enter the Professional license key, it is said that the key is not valid, because it is only an update key. When I enter the key for Home premium, it indicates that the key will not work because I installed windows 7 Professional. What can I do in this case?

Have you tried to restart by phone?

    Hello

    Please keep us updated,

    As you mentioned that support staff has informed you that you can not activate your product key from your current location since your product was purchased from Dell XPS USA., which means that your product key is Geoblocked.

    The GeoBlock is a feature used by small businesses, which, for various reasons, want if ensure that their machines can still work - but do not have need for them to work outside of a specific geographical area. So in this case you will need to contact Microsoft Support for activation. See the link below for more information about the activation of your product:

  • Pavilion p001TX: lost Windows license key

    I bought a pre-installed llicensed WIndows 8.1 compatible HP laptop. Recently I tried to dual-boot my laptop with Ubuntu 14.01 for educational purposes. By mistake I finished my whole hard drive, which meant that even the recovery folder wiped out formatting. I want to reinstall Windows 8.1 on my laptop, but I don't have my copy of original Windows license key. I bought the laptop to an authorized HP provider, but he says that the company does not provide a repair CD Windows. The license key is not located in the BIOS of the laptop, it is not yet available on any sticker on any external part of the laptop. What can I do to find the key licensing and re - activate my original Windows? Pease guide me.

    Hi @Rishi17 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p001tx and problems with product activation Windows 8.

    Here is a link to product activation Windows 8.

    Here is of little assistance from Microsoft as well.

    I hope this helps.

  • Lost Windows license key

    I have an old Compaq 610 Notebook PCand the hard drive failed, unfortunately.  Can I replace the hard drive, but the Windows licesnse key sticker is so worn that I can read is no longer the characters.  How can I retrieve my license key?

    Sorry, but there is no way to retrieve the PID key that was printed on the COA Microsoft sticker. Further, the key that would have been recovered since the failed hard drive now is not the same as that on the sticker. You will need to use the recovery/restoration of HP/Compaq media to install the factory OS on the new hard drive. If you do not have this media, you can be able to demand for HP business support.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Pavilion 17-g121wm: laptop refurbished with no Windows license key

    Greetings,

    I just got a used Pavilion laptop. It came with 10 windows pre-loaded and is in perfect working condition, but they stripped all the stickers from him, including one with the Windows license key. If I buy the HP recovery media, it will have the license key, and it'll work on my laptop?

    I'm waiting for a reminder of the repairer's customer service to see if I can get a key from them (I just call a few minutes ago). For the price I paid, I'd take a few steps to take care of this (including buying a new copy of Windows, although I'd rather not if I can avoid it).

    I found it! I am so excited. I have installed and run Belarc Advisor, and he showed a ton of information, including my Windows license key. I stuck that in the right place in my settings and here! It showed that my copy of Windows has been activated before I did, but I didn't have the possibility to create recovery discs, that was my main problem. Windows has accepted the key, and now I have the ability to create a recovery disk. I get an error when I do, but I want to install an update, now that I think it will fix. If it isn't, I think it's fodder for another line of inquiry. @erico, thank you very much for all your time. I hope that this post will help someone else who may be faced with the same problem or something similar.

  • How can I get a license key for an Express upgrade that has been lost in the Digital Locker service?

    I bought a Vista Ultimate Anytime Upgrade from MS Anytime Upgrade site in 2007. I now need to reinstall after a crash of the PC. However, while I still have the DVD can't get the license key. When I checked on the order confirmation emails, there is a "Digital locker" link for me to recover when necessary - that's why I the have not kept. But when I now try the link there is broken, and browsing the web, it seems that the Digital Locker service no longer exists, so as it is I have no spare key while it is a legitimate purchase?

    I tried to find someone at MS to provide me with a new key - it's a legitimate purchase, fee, directly from a web site of MS, but so far no one has been willing to help. Anyone know who I can contact to get this resolved please?

    Thanks in advance

  • Can I swop windows 7 keys between 2 PCs as well as exchanging the discs?

    I have built two PC with 2 separate keys for copies of inW7 HP OEM 64-bit enabled.

    But I realized I built upside down--the fast motherboard has the slow disk and vice versa.
    To save the reinstallation, I thought simply exchanging the discs of C two, but I know that the windows license key, which is engraved on each disc C, is linked to the motherboard.
    Thus, it will be the wrong key for the motherboard.
    I would still be able to swop drives, start Windows and quickly put in the right key for each motherboard?
    Or windows will refuse the start up & let me because for a moment I'd be using the combination of the wrong key/motherboard?
    Thank you
