Invalid product key (Windows Vista Home Premium operating system)
My windows vista installation is not valid. This is the version of windows that came with the computer, and before 2 days ago, it worked very well. At the same time, I got the ave.exe virus... This virus behaves like a fake anti-virus program that reopens whenever you try to open any .exe file. Microsoft said that I need to contact the manufacturer, and I can't find a way to contact Hp, other than this support forum.

Invalid product key Windows 8.1
I have a XPS 15 running 8.1 with 1 TB HARD drive and 32 GB mSATA widows. I want to upgrade the mSATA to a Samsung 500 GB and use it for software and HARD drive for storage. The OS is on the 32 GB mSATA, so when I install the new mSATA I need to reinstall the operating system. I went on the Microsoft Web site to download one. ISO Windows 8.1 but he tells me that my Windows 8.1 product code is invalid! I got the product code of the registry using RW-everything what there is no sticker on the outside (or inside) the computer. Clues?

One of the things that strongly upset us. Microsoft do not allow downloading of Windows 8/8.1 OEM license.
You must call Dell to buy a DVD of reinstalling Windows 8.1 technical and Support clean install after changing the SATA operation (the 32 GB SSD should be a cache drive).

Invalid product key - Windows XP Prof
Hello
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Z60t and I would like to install Windows XP Professional.
On the underside of the laptop there is a serial number Windows XP Prof. devalued, which apparently is not compatible with the Windows XP Professional from my desktop CD.
When I type in the serial number of the laptop, it pops up a message that the key is not valid.
My grown up google searches that I can't install from a 'normal' CD of Windows XP by using the my laptop OEM key (even if I try on my laptop). Then what should I do now? I have an official CD, a key official, but I'm not able to install Windows.
How should I proceed now?
Sincere greetings,
Carpet
You must call the IBM warranty assistance, they should have a Department that sells these recovery media.

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?

I got an old laptop which is dead. I had installed upgrading to windows 7 ultimate retail on it, and it worked very well.
Bought a new laptop which has Windows 7 sp1, and when I try to do the upgrade anytime, he says that the key is not valid. It has worked before and this IS the commercial version so I should be able to install it on my new computer.How can I get my Windows 7 anytime Upgrade?Try the Express upgrade without being connected to the Internet.
If the problem persists.
Refresh the computer then try the Express upgrade.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
