• When entering the product key for Windows XP I receiver a mistake: the product id you entered is not valid.

  my old hard drive crashed completely gone I am trying to reinstall windows xp on the new drive same computer I have the same his invalid product key (I do not have the office yet) what should I do? is there a number I can call, and that does not cost $ 50 just for support? I heard there were ways to reset the code to make it work on the good hard drive and not on the bad?

  If by saying "This is the code on my last hard drive" you mean that you used a utility such as Magical Jellybean Keyfinder to read the key on your old hard drive and you use now that the key... it's the wrong key.  It is key that the manufacturer used to all the machines it does.  You must use the key that is located on the sticker on the box.

  To avoid even guess, please provide the following information:

  • The brand and model of your computer
  • The version of Windows that was originally installed on the computer
  • Where you got the CD that you are using and what's printed on it
  • When you got the product key you use (not posting the key itself)

• Have tried to enter the product key from the back of my pc, I get a message that is not valid.

  I get a message to activate Windows, but when I enter the product key from the back of the pc, told me that it is not valid. I've used Windows every day. that's some update? (I'm running Vista). I have done a few months ago after repairing the pc, but the number has worked well. I have the installation disc of Windows that came with the computer, but did not know if the "repair my computer" would do the trick. Anyone have this problem?

• Can I find the product key associated with my hardware?

  material that I was originally designed for Windows Vista 64-bit, but the product key is no longer available, and the Vista installation is not available out of.

  Is there a way to know legally what the product key is related to my hardware in such a situation, or I'm completely out of luck?

  Hello

  At the operating system pre-installed (Dell, HP, etc.)?

  If so:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

  They should do this for a fee, if they are still available.

  The relocation method above does not normally 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.

• I have to enter the product key after refresh?

  Original title: PC Refresh

  I think the update of my PC, but I bought without a key ring, came loaded with Windows 8.

  From what I read he said I don't need, but looking at the instructions it says the following:

  Once finished, I'll have to go to the store and reinstall Windows. I'll screw them if asking 25 digit number at this stage.

  Anyone has any experience on this operation?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft forum. I will definitely help you with this.

  When you use Refresh , Windows starts over with a new installation of the operating system. The main difference is that the update process automatically cancels your data, Windows settings and Metro applications, then their return puts to where they belong once windows is reinstalled. Discount will not ask you the product key. Only in reset.

  You can view it for update:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC

  Note: Apps that you have installed Web sites and DVD will be removed. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

  You can read this for more information:
