Invalid product key, trying to fix 'R' a XP Home system existing, NOT via the Recovery Console.

• Invalid product key, left my computer with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot.

  A few days ago, I tried to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 10 using the free update. Installation hung at 84% for 2 hours, then restarted, was unable to recover the installation and then could not get back to Win 7. This left us with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot. The computer would remain in this State for about 10 minutes and then reboot and repeat.

  Fortunately, or so I thought, I had a few CD Windows installation backup from the back to the era of digital river. So I thought I'd install fresh on my empty partition, copy my files and data, and then format the partition with the installation broken on.

  I did, but now he tells me that my product key is not valid and cannot be activated. The product key came on a real label on the PC when we bought it.

  The key is for X 16-96072. I installed X 17-58997 (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 with SP1 (u)). I don't know what is the problem with the key? Should I have installed without the (u)?

  One key 25 digits grouped in 5 sequences of 5 characters not X 17-58997.

  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.

• Invalid product key: Re-install WinXP Pro after crash of HD and replacement on the old computer.

  After the hard disk crash and replacement on the old computer, reinstall Windows XP - Pro.

  I have genuine WinXP Pro, with product key, etc. on the sticker on the computer.
  Install does not accept the product key. Error: the product key is valid.
  Several CAREFUL attempts, so I do not know as I type the key correctly.
  New HARD drive is SATA (former was IDE), so need to massage WinXP to accept SATA install.
  Set of installation is Windows XP Pro SP3, with SATA drivers (with n - Lite).
  Help!

  When is the key being denied? -Keep in mind that there are "excluded" characters (for example, 0 and I etc.) and those that are very easily confused (8/B, 2/Z, etc.) and, if the answer is in the system rather than by the activation servers, it is likely that this is the problem.

  I can only suggest that you keep plugging away with the product key update tool until you find the right key.

• Halo 2 Vista Error Message "invalid product key".

  I bought Halo 2 for Vista last week. I installed, updated with the latest patch and connected with my Live account. When the program tries to download my Live profile it gave me the error "invalid product key". I contacted the seller on Amazon and told him my problem. He contacted Microsoft and verify that the product key was valid and he told me to reinstall and make sure that all software is up-to-date. I grabbed a spare hard drive and install a new copy of Vista and done all updates to Windows. Then I installed the latest drivers for video card, I installed Halo 2. I downloaded and installed the latest patch for Halo 2 and the last program of Windows Live. After all this (about 3 hours), I still get the same message. Anyone at Microsoft have a solution to this? I get the message after logging in to my live account inside Halo 2. I googled the question and it seems to be quite common, however, I have yet to see a fix. Help, please.

• Windows 7 reinstall "invalid product key".

  I recently started a computer fixing for someone, they got three Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computers, and I got a few pieces of each of them (hard drive, processor, ram cards). I got the computer to boot, but since it's so old and I don't know what is the file system and it is a bit slow, I tried to reinstall Windows. I have the disc to install Windows 7 Professional x 64 and went to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Recovery\Advanced recovery methods then clicked Reinstall windows. It restarts with the disc and went to the screen configuration, but then stopped and said that you can not install Windows because it has an invalid product key. Don't know why it does, but when I got to do start back when I also got to put in it, it says that Windows needs to be reactivated because of hardware changes, so in PowerShell, I typed in [slmgr-ato]. It worked, and after a reboot the lower right corner of the Office had more "Is not a genuine copy of Windows" on this subject, so I guess it worked. Can someone help me?

• When reinstalling invalid product key

  I'm trying to reinstall my copy of Windows XP Professional OEM, without material change. Invalid product key!

  Do not confuse letter B with the number 8, letter O with a Q

  Check the side of your PC case or at the bottom of the laptop for the
