  • New HDD installed - Windows constantly asking for the product key

    HARD drive broke down, so I got a new HARD drive installed in the workshop for repairs a few months ago. Everything was fine until recently when Windows keeps always ask the product key to activate Windows. It is said that the license expires Dec. 27.
    Do you know where to find this key?

    If your laptop has Windows 8 or higher, Microsoft codes the license on the hard drive rather than put a sticker on the base. Sounds like the repair people could have used a dubious copy to reinstall it on the new hard drive. Microsoft may allow you to report it as pirate software, but I'm not sure they'll give you a free copy. The other alternative is to contact ToshIba to buy a complete set of recovery disks, or take it back to the shop.

  • I just bought a G6 Pavilion with windows 8, where is the product key for windows?

    As above, there is a stricker saying Windows 8 64 and that's it.

    I need the product key, as to prefer a clean install and need complete recoverability in the event of a HARD disk failure.

    When I buy a laptop with a BONE, I expect to have the operating system, not 'rent' it until something bad happens.

    Thank you.

    Yes, the recovery discs can be used to start the computer and reinstall it on hdd original or new - without needing a license key.

  • Windows Vista - error in the product key

    I have had my computer for 3 years, just he lit after getting back from vacation and it says that my Windows Vista product key is not valid and don't allow me to the computer, with him giving options such as 'try a different product key' or 'buy new '. Windows is already installed on the computer, what do I do because it's not my fault he can't choose the product key to the top. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

    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 the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    If the problem is you do not have or know the product key, post back because that is a different problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

So now I use 8 64-bit Windows, on the hard drive that's used to have my old Windows 7 32-bit, and I try to install Windows 7 32 bit on my VMware Player as a virtual PC, but for some reason any bloody, the thing won't turn on. I got my license and my old Tower, the old tower and the old series of hardware Linux now without all the graphics cards, but it is going to be really just a supermodel, a server for a game and accommodation of the tracks that can be downloaded in the game, all she needs a new motherboard cheap as the motherboard, that he completely fried. But the issue I'm having is with virtual PC, however, I use the license that came when I bought it and is not wanting to turn on, it keeps Gush a BS error, my Windows XP is activated, but my Windows 7 does not. He always tells me that "the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer."
