If the key of Windows 8 may be recycled?

I bought Windows 8 and installed on my desktop.  The office later died and I bought a new one with Windows 8 installed from Best Buy.  Now I have a laptop with a messed up BONE and I tried to install my Windows 8.  She accepted the license key but later wants a new key, as it is said that the key is used on a different computer.  The computer is actually not in use and will start sometimes, but not reliably.  Any help appreciated.

Yes, it can be used. Activation of the phone just use:

1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    Confusion of title: original backup

    I bought Windows 8 online... downloaded and installed.

    When Windows Update 8.1 is available, the Microsoft support team made this update remotely... as I was part of the people having problems.

    I would like to make a recovery disk, but I thought the key for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 will be different.

  • Can I reuse the key of Windows 7 Professional?

    Hey,.

    Been using Windows 7 for a few months now and I must say, im absolutely love it.
    The other day, while visiting some dubious sites offering a video converter, I got a virus.
    Now, I tried AVG and an anti-spyware program, and both can detect the virus but not effectively deal with it.
    I find myself with a frustrating user experience which includes Windows crashes, a lot of notifications and general performance slowdown, on what is a fast laptop. I'm tired of trying to patch up things and think that the best method would be to format the HARD drive and reinstall Windows.
    Now, my question is, when I reinstall Windows, my product key will be reusable?
    I picked up my copy of Windows 7 on the offer of £30 student and am concerned about the use of the license.
    Like what I do, can I disable Windows somehow, then reinstall it just use the same key?
    Someone at - it advice on the system would work?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Product key Windows 7 (license) is constant, it never expires. You can reuse the key as many times as you want, as long as the operating system is installed on a single computer at a time.

    The student version of Windows 7 is the retail version upgrade. You will need to perform the installation in the same way that you did when you originally installed it.

    The product key that you used to activate the first installation is maintained on Microsoft Activation servers. After the reinstallation, you may need to perform a manual activation, which means that you may need to use the phone option when you activate. Here are the instructions for a manual activation.

    1. from the desktop, press the button of the Windows Logo + R. This will bring up the run dialog box.

    2. in the Open: box, type slui 4 and press OK. This starts the manual activation wizard.

    3 select your country from the drop down and click Next.

    4. the wizard displays a toll-free telephone number. Leave the wizard open on the computer and call this phone number.

    You will receive a few saved options. Select the option to speak to a representative.

    The representative will manually activate this system for you.

    Let us know if you have any problems more

  • can't buy the key to Windows Media Center

    I am trying to add the Media Center functionality to my installation of Windows 8 Pro.  I go through the motions of purchasing the key and after I sent my details (I tried paypal and credit card) I get the message saying "sorry we were not able to complete your order...

    We were not able to check your order online.  Please buy a product key from a retailer close to you. »
    Now, I would be happy to go to a store and spend $9.99 for a WMC key except cannot be bought in the shop.  The only way to buy the key of the WMC is via "Add features" in my Windows 8 Pro.
    A Microsoft person please explain what is happening and perhaps I can buy the elusive WMC key?
    Thank you
    Nick

    Hi Nick,

    I apologize for the difficulty that you have faced all trying to buy Media Center for Windows 8 Pro pack feature key.

    In the present case is apparently caused by an error either in the Microsoft Account, you use the method of payment set up in this account.

    Both of your posts, I couldn't know if payments have crossed in the attempts you have made to buy the feature pack. I believe that the payment would not, however, if it is different, please let us know.

    Try using a different credit card when buying the feature pack? This could cause questions sometimes.

    The next step, I would suggest would be to use an another Microsoft Account to connect to Windows 8 Pro and try to add the feature pack for this account. You can create a new user in your Windows 8 Pro against another email address that you may have and check if you are able to add the feature pack for this account.

    In addition, if you have a student Email ID, you could try to create a user account on the computer in the face of this E-mail ID and check if that allows you to buy and add the feature pack.

    I'll wait to see if these steps help you to solve this problem. Don't let us know the State, we are happy to be of assistance. Have a good day ahead!

It's for the home edition Premium, Home Premium edition, I installed, I checked that I have not install Home Premium SP1, and it won't work. I can show a formal detail of Lenovo in the photographs of the situation and my screen not accepting is not the key on the bottom. I contacted the team to support more than a week, no response.

    I would like some kind of fix for this. I bought a valid copy of windows! I don't understand why, I now have this message telling me that the legitimate copy, which I bought with this laptop is not working. Official help would be appreciate. Give me one of the many responses pre-made that I saw in the other sons of the knowledge base. I tried all of this, before I was even, I want a proper solution to this please.

    Is it possible that when you enter the key that you mistook an O for a 0 or vice versa?

    Hello

    You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Also that, read also:

    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 still have available to them.

    _____________________________________________________________

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    ____________________________________________________________

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require 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.
