I had 2 HDD failures, now I can't get Win7 to recognize my product key. How can I fix it?

I still have the disc/package/book of original Win 7 and I have the product key that is written correctly, so I know I'm there by typing correctly.

Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

Click on properties

Scroll down to the Windows Activation

Click the link x days before activation.

Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

Enter the product key

Click next

Select the Activation of the phone

Click Next when you enter your key page

Select your country

Click Next, call the number listed

Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

Click next to complete the activation.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Where can I get a Windows 7 Ultimate product key?

    Recently, I rebuilt my computer Windows 7 Ultimate, replacing the motherboard and adding a new SSD. I used a product key from one of my other computers to do the installation thinking I will get a new product key later.

    Now, I can not find where to buy a new product key Windows 7 Ultimate. I can't install Windows 10, I want to keep my Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Where can I get a new product key for Windows 7 Ultimate? Whenever I go to MS I am redirected to a page telling me the wonders of Windows 10, which I don't want.

    Thank you

    You should consider a different edition if you can not get Windows 7 Ultimate.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    This means that you must install the original version of Windows shipped with your computer if you are not Windows 7. Otherwise, you will need to set up or ask a family friend or a member of the family gift that you register.

    If you know a student, you could ask to purchase a license at price reduced for you.

  • I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro after a hard disk crash. Sent product key Microsoft form with the Windows disk is invalid.

    Some time ago I bought a computer with Windows XP pre-installed.  I have not received a CD with it.  At one point, during an update Windows online, I learned that the copy of Windows was not authentic, and the place I bought it from was out of business.  I then bought Windows XP Pro Microsoft online and went through the update of product with the Windows product key update tool and ran OK from there.
    Well, my HDD recently crashed, and I started to install the Windows XP Pro purchased CD on a new hard drive.  The installation was asked to enter the 25-digit product key, I found that the unique product key sent with the CD has been a key 20 digits in this format; Product key: SKU:B7P - 00005 KEY01:xxxxx - xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-CD2.   (The x are just for the format).

    Since it is an OEM version that the 3rd party "key finders" will not help you. Don't bother to google for them.

    The only solution is to call the manufacturer of your computer...

    1. tell them your situation and see if they can help on the key issue of product.
    2. If they say "can't", ask them to send you a set od recovery disks. " THS cost is minimal and the money will be well spent. The game will save your computer when the computer breaks down.

    3. at the same time, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person if he or she can teach you how to access the recovery Partition and how to use it to restore the system.

    Suggestion #2 and #3 do NOT require the use of the product key.
