but I have the product number that I can read clearly, but I can't read the product key.

Hello

You mean the product key on the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

See you soon.

    VISTA ACTIVATION PROBLEM

    EVERY MORNING

    Hello

    I would take it back to the workshop of repair and demand that they fix it properly and send it to you already reactivated.

    It is a way around it, but it's time and and maybe more money:

    As you can not read your product key on the label, we cannot help you get your product key (Key Finder programs will not solve it).

    The way around this is to contact your laptop manufacturer and ask them to send you recovery disks to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

    While you are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the laptop also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing you to save money.

    Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

    My advice, in order of preference:

    1. repair facility

    2. recovery of the process.

  • I can't read the product key on the bottom of the laptop as the sticker is dissipated.

    product key for help

    I bought a mobile phone 2nd hand via personal sales.  The laptop came with Windows Vista home premium installed.  They had erased the hard drive before selling that I expected.  After 3 weeks, I started to have a prompt for assets using a product key.  The sticker on the bottom is quite alert by.  Everything I've read here, says I need a new product key... I do not understand how am I supposed to buy a completely new windows program?

    If there is a sticker on the bottom, it's OEM. One thing to check because it of a laptop, whether or not it has a recovery partition you want to restore from.

    Click Start > right click on computer > manage > in store > disk management

    It can show a recovery/system partition which can be used to update the laptop to the factory settings. If it is there, Google your laptop make/model with 'restore factory settings' and it should tell you how to do (each laptop can be different)

    Hope this helps, if not, you can buy a new copy of selling at retail.

  • I changed my internal hard drive, but I can't read my product key

    The Microsoft sticker is on the bottom of my laptop, but most of the product key has been rubbed off.

    I tried to activate by automated phone, but every time I do it then asks me to change my product key, that I can not read.
    Is there a phone number that I can call to speak to a real person?
    I'm originally from England, but living in France, which could be a reason why it won't work? I do not speak enough french to use the automated service.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    If you have a product key on a sticker in your computer, this means that you have an OEM product key. If you have OEM keys, this means that the windows you have here is preinstalled.

    If you reinstall windows OEM copy, you must use either the original manufacturer recovery disk or the recovery partition. If you use one of the people, should not be put to any start-up because the windows OEM versions are technically preactivated.

    If you don't have a disc or a recovery partition, you can contact your OEM (DELL) so that they can send you a disk. Alternatively, you can contact Microsoft Support just in case. : D
