  • to upgrade to 10 windows, I need to activate my windows 7 Home premium first, but I do not know the product key

    Hello

    I want to update my windows 7 Home Edition premium PC to windows 10 but there is a prompt that displays... I have first to activate my windows 7 Home premium.

    The problem is: I do not know the product key for my unit.   This was made for me by my daughter several years ago and all the documents accompanying this unit are either misplaced or lost.

    Can you help me?

    Thanks, CB

    You do not have your key to activate, after all, it is already installed.  You can use this app to find the installed key

    https://www.magicaljellybean.com/KeyFinder/

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

  • IQ524: find product key number

    I have an IQ524 all-in-one computer, I received the computer with Vista and a few months later I received a package of HP discs for windows 7, in which I installed quickly. I want to install windows 10. I just found out that I can go to Cnet, who sends me to the download site. At first, I couldn't find my product key, the key that I have on my computer is only 20 letters and numbers for a long time. I found the product key number 25 on the back of my computer, but I guess is for the Vista operating system.

    The package of disks for windows 7 OS have no numbers on it what so ever, so I have no idea what product key number and I don't think I've ever had that number. Where can I find or is it possible to get another number product key for windows 7, so I can install Windows 10 on my computer? Now that I think about it, do I need a product key number (for windows 7) I got the number for Vista?

    Thanks in advance...

    Fred

    From what I understand, the upgrade to Windows 10 does not require that you know the product key for Windows 7.  Until Windows 7 is functional and active, then you are good to upgrade to Windows 10 using the update function M$.

    You do not have * one * key product. You probably have a product key for each of several different products. For example, if you are running Windows 7, you certainly have a Windows 7 product key. If you have Microsoft Office installed, you have an Office product key. And if Norton uses a product key, then you have a Norton product key. And many other programs use product keys too. A unique product key cannot be used for several products.

    So when you say "I need to know where to find my product key number. I can't use some programs without it"which makes no sense. Each of the programs that you can not use has its own product key, so please tell us what programs you have the subject and where you got the programs. Each program should have with his own product key in the package he came.

    And a remaining issue: If you ask about a product key for programs that are part of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.) and Office supplied with your computer, and you have no product key so that it is almost certainly what you have only a trial version of Office. Your trial period has expired and if you want to continue using it, you must now buy the product and get a key for this.

    When you bought the computer, he had the pre-installed Windows 7?
    If so, this is a version of OEM license.
    Not worth trying all of 3rd party product key finders. They do not work on the OEM version.

    You call the computer manufacturer and ask what follows...

    1. a set of recovery disks. Its cost is minimal and money well spent. The game will save your computer if it crashes.
    2. talking to a technician and ask for instructions access your recovery as well as partition to use it to restore your computer.

    The 2 methods above does not need to enter the product key.

    Note: The methods above will restore your computer to factory State. You will lose all your personal files and programs you had installed. If you still have ways to support those up to a flash drive or an external hard drive, do so now.

  • Windows 7 product key number on faded sticker

    Hello

    I had the problem, can not read the 3 numbers on the sticker, tried to read this by using software and see that the number of software reading differs from that on the sticker. Why?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    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. »)

    You cannot use a Windows 7 Professional anytime upgrade product key with reinstall media, it can be used only to upgrade license of qualification basis where you bought the upgrade in the first place (Starter, Home Premium).

    The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
     
    An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
     
    What happens if I lose my product key?
     
    If you lose your product key, you can return to

    www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure.

See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
    ------------------------------------
    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.
    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
