How do you re-install?
Do you have or use a sale at retail or OEM DVD?
Do you have an error message: "key already in use"?
If you re-installed the same operating system on the same computer and you receive an error message, you will normally need to make a phone Activation > ignore the automatic prompt > and brace yourself for a real person explain.

How to change the product version key already activated windows 8
Hi friends,
I've lost my windows 8 recovery of single language media. I downloaded an ISO torrent and installed on my laptop. Now I found that it is already activated. I want to change the product key and activate with my original license key. I have strength to find any option that 'change product key' etc., how should I do this? Suggestions are very much appreciated.
Press Windows key + R
Type: slui.exe 3
Press enter
Enter your product key, and then click next to activate via the Internet.
If you encounter problems using phone activation.
As shown right, you really shouldn't use torrents downloads because they could contain malicious code that can steal your information.
In addition, you must use really support recovery of your computer manufacturer.

How can I change the product key Windows 7 starter edition
Hi all
I tried to change the product key on my netbook, because I had to replace the hard drive and I used my recovery disks of the brothers that he has the same exact model. However when I had done restoring the product key is also the same so I wanted to put the original back on.
I used slui methods both properties before, but neither give me a way to change the product key at the moment. When I go to properties it says only: windows is activated without any options to change of key and when I run slui a window appears which says activation succeeded.
Am I missing something? or is it because its Windows 7 starter?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance

Change the product key for Windows 7 Code
I bought a package of Windows 7 from a supplier without realizing it was a distribution of subscription "not for sale". It is now installed on my computer after a painful migration from a dying hard drive which had Windows Vista installed. The old drive is now corrupt and not repairable.
When I tried to record the installation, I found that he was blocked. I have to make sure that it is for the reason above somehow. How to check this?
It seems I have to buy another Package of Windows 7 but I don't want to do a fresh install since I went to great effort to set up the installation on a new SSD and have all of my applications transferred intact.
Is it possible to just change the product key of the new package to apply to my existing install without having to reinstall everything?
Just for the completion of this thread, I decided to pass my final action to get my computer system operating system up-to-date.
Assuming it was a MSDN product licensed, it was repackaged in a retail store packaging and sold as such.
Needing my computer back to the status of full support, I bought a 64-bit edition (non - OEM) of Windows 10 full retail on USB media. Is it installed just fine on top of the MSDN license of Windows 7 and allowed me to install without erasing the contents of the disc. My applications and drivers are intact. Windows 10 also all updates installed correctly.
This allowed me to remedy the situation without having to re - install everything that would have been very time consuming.
Thank you for your help.

change the product key on windows 7 ultimate 64-bit full
Let's make has a history very very short. Earlier this year, I bought 4 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate full 64-bit for internet and loaded mrechant on 4 machines (3 upgrades from Vista and 1 new installation) without a hitch. The software was perfect for a few months until recently Microsoft me notified that the software was not "authentic". Apparently this software was not allowed to sell in the USA.
In any case, if I buy a new genuine Windows 7 Ultimate Full 64-bit version, can't I just change the product key to solve this problem? I know I need to ultimately get 4 copies.
Thanks in advance!

How to get the product key I purchased previously?
How to get the product key I purchased previously?
Depends entirely on how you bought it in the 1st place.
A boxed product should have the key on the DVD case, which is the only trace.
An update Anytime, you should have the key in an e-mail message from Microsoft. If you log in the website to store, you should be able to find the email conversation.
If another provider such as a key, then you will need to go back to them.
If your Windows starts now while you can use a keyfinder utility to read the registry key.
