I lost my product key to my disc of windows 7 Home premium how can I get a new
Microsoft recommends that you only buy a new product key if you have lost your Windows 7 product key.
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.
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.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

* Original title: get the product key
I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?
Hello
Your question is not very clear to understand.
If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.
There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.
How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?
The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.
Try Amazon.com, etc.
___________________________________________________________
And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.
License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

I lost my product key for my windows 7.
I lost my product key for my windows 7, but I still have my tht to recite, I bought with, is there anyway I can get it, please help
Then its likely that win7 has provided preinstalled by the manufacturer of your PC and as such, its display of the volume used by the PC manufacturer, key which is not the same as that which would have been attached to the label on your PC
If the case, a pre-installed version of win, then ask the recovery disks from the manufacturer of your PC, for which there is a fee, these discs would not usually require any key will be used.
Or to explain more in detail where you obtained the real dvd win7

Desktop computer, Windows XP pro.
If you have lost your product key XP, the best option is to call Microsoft. Call on (800) 248-0655 Microsoft Licensing Fulfillment Center toll-free number from Monday to Friday from 06:00 to 15:00 Pacific time.
Otherwise, you need to replace your Windows XP by purchasing a full commercial version. Amazon and NewEgg always sell. This is no different than needing to replace any other type of item you have lost.
In the case of a contact of computer (HP, Dell, etc.) OEM OEM purchase recovery media. It is generally not very expensive. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

I have no product key for my windows vista... I need help... pleaze!
If Windows Vista is already installed on your system and your system still works (even if only in safe mode) so you can be lucky. There is a product called Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html which can be installed on your system and can retrieve the product key in the system files (only Vista does not provide this feature).
If you can not enter your system, it has already been formatted or something like that, there is very little that can be done. There is no place that keeps a record of the product keys related to individuals (or computers) that can be checked and Microsoft will not give without proof of purchase product keys (which IS the key product - the sales receipt or even the disc itself is not enough). You can't even borrow a disk from someone else because you need your product key to activate the program. The only choice is to buy another product (you'll probably need a commercial full version as an upgrade will not work on a non-production system or one where you cannot install a product allowing to level).
You can TRY to get Microsoft to activate your system without a product key if you have the disk (there are codes on the disc, which mean it is valid or not), but I doubt it will work but may be worth a try. To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter. Enter your country and press Next. You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below. Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being. Have your handy product code because it will be asked. Explain that you have lost your product key, but the disc and it's the same PC. They can give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or they have very probably you will say you are out of luck and they can not help you).
I hope this helps.
Good luck! Lorien - MCSA/MCSE/network + / A +.

How can I get a new Windows 7 product key for free?
I am a person who has the life out of a well-being which means I have very limited funds for money to buy a new product key for my windows 7. Now to say that I bought my laptop on the street market, and lucky me a friend bought me a new hard drive form my computer and I don't know what or how he got windows7 here but he did. With someone who doesn't have a credit card and life out of $500 a month, how can I get a new product key, which I can't afford and so I am unable to work
Please if anyone can help it would be so appreciated.TylerThis 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 need my product key for my windows 8
Where did you buy Windows 8? If it came pre-loaded on your system?
If you bought in a store, it is in the package.
If you bought it online:
Go to the order summary page, you can find your product key:
If Windows 8 came preloaded on your computer:
With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.
If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.
