• Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?

  Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?  Or can I use a disc that I have to restore the windows on a second laptop and activate it with a different product key?  It is not a question to find out how many users I can put in place, but whether the disk and product key are mutually exclusive.

  As long as the product key matches the edition, it should work perfectly, no exclusivity.

• Can I download and install Windows 7 pro with a product key and the USB (No .iso or CD/DVD)

  So my hard drive failed, Dell can replace it but none of the software.  I have OEM Windows 7 pro and Office 2010 versions, which means that I (somewhere) product keys but not record.  Maybe Dell recover disk will work, but it's 7000 mile more away.  I've seen links to download install.

• Windows 8 Pro update product key cannot be used to activate Windows after an installed cleaning

  Hi guys,.

  I bought a Windows 8 Pro Upgrade and received the product key I used to download and run a clean install to my laptop using a USB Flash drive (format my HD then install). But now, in my new installed Windows 8, I can't use this product key to activate Windows as it says that the key is for an upgrade, not a clean install. I was not aware of this problem when I did the clean install. So, how can I activate my Windows now?

  It! s a upgrade, you need to UPGRADE your existing system. New installation is not supported. I'm sorry.

  This is simply not true.

  If you had a hardware problem and you will need to re - install Windows 8, you can do this by using installation media that the wizard allows you to create (or installation media that you ordered, if you chose to order discs).

  If you don't have installation media, you can re - install your older version of Windows and rerun the upgrade.

  Whatever it is, you will need the product key you received when you paid for Windows 8. If you choose to do a clean install of Windows 8 from the installation media, you will also need to call Customer Service for help activating your copy of Windows.

• I had to reinstall Windows Xp Pro, the product key will not work.

  I have not changed any hardware or anything like that. I downloaded the updates of msupdates and my computer went the fritz would not do anything. I reinstalled windows xp pro from the restore disc that came with my computer. The product key is not accepted by windows to activate it. I need to know what to do. It's a Dell optiplex 2.8 gig Board and proc 2 gig of ram. Anyway when I bought.

  Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.

  You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.

  You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.

  If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.

• 7 pro with product key but no COA

  If I had to buy authentic 7 Installation Pro discs and an authentic and "NEVER used" 7Pro "Product Key", I would limit (I guess I mean activation, etc) if I do not have a certificate of authenticity?  (The seller messaged me that he has lost it.)

  In other words, y at - it an another code number on the sticker COST could also be necessary, or is the product key, the only code needed?

  (I know that 'lost' claim could mean that it is a scam, but I have already bid on it because the list claimed 'as new' [which eBay defines to mean "all aspects of the question are intact and flawless"] but only today I thought to ask questions about the COST and it's missing.)  (Sigh).

  eBay is a horrible place to buy computers and software. without a certificate of authenticity, it is most likely loaded with counterfeit windows. seen all the time with unsuspecting buyers, you wonder why their windows is not genuine. Suppose if you continue you will need to buy a license from a retailer is legitimate.

• How to install windows 8 using an product key OEM (under construction)

  Hello everyone. I bought a computer laptop sony vaio about a year ago and he had 8 integrated windows which clrealy means that the product key is embedded in the motherboard. Now the thing is I want to dual boot with ubuntu and use it alongside windows 8.1 (that I've updated 8) and the ubuntu installation went a little worse. When I went to reinstall I erased by mistake my hard drive and all I was left with was an operating system reinstalled ubuntu.  Now I know that the product key for the windows kernel 8 is in my motherboard, so I want to install windows 8 on it, but it seems that there is no way I can get the iso standard for installation. I tried to use the 'upgrade of windows with a single product key' by Microsoft after the extraction of my key by using a program, but it says my key cannot be used to obtain a version of windows.

  Im stuck pretty bad here now, and any help would be appreciated. -There should be a solution because after all I don't have a genuine product key-

  As you probably know, most of the machines are supplied with recovery disks more, they just put in another partition on the hard drive.  Sometimes, you can get this in now shift while clicking the option restart from the menu of the power.

  Given that, most of the manufacturers have prepared with their own solutions. My computer Vaio from Sony has a button of special pinhole that I had to press with a paper clip to enter into recovery mode.  Other manufacturers have other options, some require a USB thumbdrive to enter recovery, or a CD.

  At this point, you probably want to contact your manufacturer to find out which method of recovery they use.  I hate to bring bad news, but they'll probably say "why did not a recovery USB disk? (as if someone creates their own set of disks of repair when they receive a new computer).

  Help a friend with a Dell laptop (did not have a problem, but wanted to install a pure one)

  passing), Dell sent us a free night FedEx ship from a restore CD. The manufacturer of your can be so nice. I know that Sony was not. If the recovery of my Vaio button didn't work, they wanted $60 for a CD!

  Anyway, the manufacturer is your best bet, that now, if you don't have a USB self made for recovery.

  So, my question is this...

  You follow the manufacturer's instructions for use the recovery partition

• someone installed windows 7 without a product key and my microsoft does not work how can I fix this

  Vista Windows

  Vista Windows

  There are three ways to correct this
  (1) back to the original installation - assuming that the one who did the installation just ran the upgrade rather than a custom installation (is there a "windows.old. This folder?)
  (2) buy a copy of Windows 7, which corresponds to the current installation and use the key from that to make your authentic system
  (3) use your manufacturer to return to the initial installation system recovery disks.
   
  Note that options 1 and 3 can lead to data loss - so make sure that you back up your data on external backup first!

• Cannot activate Windows 8 by using product key provided on new installation SSD

  I bought WIN PRO 8 32-BIT / 64-BIT ENGLISH VUP DVD SKU 3UR-0001 on the Microsoft Store.

  I installed it on my laptop with 8GB and a new SSD.

  Can't activate Windows 8 Pro with product key provided after installation is complete.

  Have not installed on Windows 7. Clean install on a brand new SSD.

  I have to buy the right product WP8?

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

  If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• What happens if I install a new windows on a computer product key OEM windows laptop?

  I bought a laptop in 2009 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM on it (I still have the sticker of the portable product key).

  This year, I bought a larger capacity HARD drive and installed on my laptop.

  I thought it was the perfect time to upgrade to Windows 7, so I bought a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate.

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my HDD new and used the new Windows 7 Ultimate DVD product key.

  My questions are,

  What will happen to the product key Windows Vista Home Basic OEM?

  If it is replaced with the new product key?

  Is the OEM product key became invalid?

  Now I use Windows Pro 10, as a free upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, so...

  What my new Windows 10 Pro registered product key?

  I know that since windows 8, the product key is installed on the BIOS (am I right?).

  then, how it actually works?

  Thank you very much for the reply.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  No matter if you did a clean Windows 7 or updated installation to upgrade to windows 7 from Vista, this OEM Vista product key is blocked on this computer and cannot be transferred to another machine.

  You can only use this key OEM of Vista to reinstall Vista on this particular machine and start over.

  Licensing rules (my words)

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license 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.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Rec would be the free upgrade to 10 7 as Vista never qualified for the free upgrade to 10.

  The key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

  The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

  But there is no product key for your free upgrade to 10.

  Hardware configuration you laptop is stored on Microsoft servers and how your machine will be recognized if you always want to reinstall 10.

  See you soon.
