Invalid Windows product said reactivation after reset, do not have disks

I did a wipeout computer and resettlement.  Everything was fine until you are prompted to enter the product key.  Says invalid product? I bought this Dell Inspiron 6000 from craigslist so I do not have the disks.  Windows yesterday, now, today, I have a nearly new laptop under windows! What can I do?

  • HP Envy 14 LR198AV: HP sold me PC with no valid Windows 7 or at least an invalid Windows product key and product ID

    I bought this PC in July 2011 and it is out of warranty.  After that of being harassed at level to Windows 10 months I decided to do it, but rather than the upgrade, I did a clean install from the laptop was malfunctioning.  I read on the Microsoft site that we could do it as long as they have Windows product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 that was already installed on the machine.  I wrote that down with the Windows ID (different number).

    I've updated by downloading Windows 10 to a USB key and then the installation.  Seemed to work very well (I think that I entered my product in the process ID).  Now, a few weeks later I get a message that I need to "activate windows".  I called MIcrosoft after it could not activate using the ID that I and after 30 minutes on the phone they me said my Windows product ID and both are my "invalid" Windows product key  I would call HP and get this sorted - I have the original order number and Microsoft said that's all I need for HP to help me - but I am out of warranty and apparently help me unless I pay them $60.  Another alternative is to buy a new copy of Windows 10 and pay MIcrosoft money.

    I am shocked, because I'm simply doing what Microsoft has been harassment to me.

    BTW, the PC seems to work fine except the message to activate windows.  I guess that another option is to do nothing.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Available for the free upgrade until the end of July 2016, according to the latest rules from Microsoft Windows 10. Thus, you will be able to spend to Win 10 If you want. I'm not a fan of win 10, but if you want to upgrade to it I personally recommend the ISO for Win 7 upgrade method to win 10-

    # Download the ISO from MS site, burn it to a DVD, insert the DVD into the PC and start the process from inside Windows 7

    # Follow the on-screen instructions then

  • Pavilion x 2: Windows product key Validation after hardware change (new SSD)

    I have a Pavilion laptop x 2 with a 64 GB SSD.  It came with Windows 8.1 but he now works Windows 10 - of course.  I decided to upgrade the 256 GB SSD.  I bought the appropriate module (a Sandisk).  I recently contacted Windows support to inquire about the procedure to validate the OS once I did the material exchange.  I wasn't sure how it would work since my x 2 Pavilion has incorporated into BIOS product key.  Microsoft told me that because I was going to do a hardware change I would need a new product key (in other words my laptop current product key would be 'blocked').  I was able to recover the product key of my Pavilion x 2 (OEM and installed keys - what is the difference?).

    Does anyone have experience in this field?  Once I have replace the SSD and perform a clean install Windows 10, will be the key to product embedded BIOS validate operating system or it will reject?  Since I'm NOT buying a HP SSD (with preloaded operating system) and that my x 2 Pavilion is now long out of warranty?  I really have to pay over a hundred dollars for a new Windows operating system license?

    Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

    Francis

    Parameters indicate that I have a digital right so with a bit of luck when I change the SSD and install Windows 10, the machine must validate without a qualm.  I tried to see if I could link my Validation of my Microsoft account but I did not have this option on my settings (although in the past when I re-install Windows 10, link validation of my Microsoft account operating system so I guess it works.)  Also, I guess I have the anniversary edition from my machine updated automatically.

    If all else fails, I'll see how it goes after the SSD upgrade and if I have to deal with Microsoft.  I also agree with you that change the SSD (essentially the ' drive') is NOT a significant change in equipment and shall not impose a new product key, but then, nothing surprises me more.

    Your tips were helpful and I thank you.

    I am able to change my password and connect, but may not have passed the first page.

    Now, my account was closed and I contacted the support (13 March) and received a ticket support number but have not received anything back (March 15).

  • Windows product key doesn't work is not for the reinstallation of Windows 7

    So my Lenovo (B560) became super slow and I want to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows 7. But when I looked on the Microsoft Web site and tried to check my key I received the following message is displayed:

    "The product key you have entered seems to be the software that was preinstalled by the manufacturer of the device. Contact the manufacturer of the device for software recovery options.

    The product key that I used was the COA sticker under the laptop which was indeed different from one I receovered from the register. In any case, I tried both and none worked.

    Ideas for how can I proceed?

    You must install OEM Lenovo recovery disks or a recovery partition to use the key.

  • After reset FF I have an old FF file, what do I do with him?

    My FF icon began to show a blank page when I click on it. I could of course click on my home page after the fact, but not what I want. So I re-set afterwords FF there is a 'old FF data' folder on my desktop. What is this for? what I do with it? can I use it for my homepage exactly as it was before the back? How?

    Thank you
    Ron

    Data recovery from the old data of Firefox folder is a little complicated because file and folder names are often obscure.

    On your home page, you use a custom page online (like the old iGoogle) that you can easily reconnect to the, or you use an add-on that locally stored page layout? If they were only stored locally, there are a few different scenarios to recover your data, but the details depend on which module it was.

  • Windows is loading files... stuck not start disk

    Hello, I have a Server 2008 OS and im trying to install it.

    It is a clean server with literally nothing about it. Pervious OS was Redhat.

    The strange thing is I took another computer with the same exact hardware and the previous operating system as this computer and installed OS 2008 very well. This server is supposed to be just to be a "Back-up server.

  • Windows XP 2002 service pack 2 does not have internet explorer 7 or 8.

    Recently, I took out my old laptop. Windows XP 2002 Service Pack 2. I was using internet just fine, then when I went to a Web page (don't remember now).

    He said that my computer needed update to IE 7 to the support page. I tried to load this (update) over and over again with
    no luck. Then I lost internet all together. He said it was impossible to load it and said to go to www.//go.microsoft/fwlink/?LinkID=106440. This address has not yet been loaded.
    I did extensive research on the question/answer of windows page.
    What can I do to make it work again? I still have a lot of memory etc left on the computer.
    The biggest problem is that I have NO internet now on this old PC, to do something about it. I use my laptop more recent to ask

  • Windows Media Center, digital cable Advisor, do not have Internet?

    I have a tuner Silicon dust 3 with a Chartered CableCardM that has been posted successfully & work, software to view the tuners of

    Silicon dust works OK for the first 14 channels, but trying to watch all channels is protected by DRM are not displayed.  But I try to go back

    & run the DCA in the Gallery of Extras to start more (haven't run it the first time for the installation of the dust of Silicon Tuner), but after starting the application, I get just the

    message "NO INTERNET so it does not further.  More funny thing is, there are other applications that appear to work (CinemaNow, XMSirius, FOX, the)

    Queensberry), those start & go to the respective web sites.  Also the Home Shopping Network can not find the internet as well.  I made the Internet connection

    test under the settings menu, which removed OK.  My browser explore works very well too.  Do you have the download in WMC so to check updates.

    Strange, is that I tried this on another computer laptop, first of all, one with which I worked was a former model from HP.  Now tried with a new Dell XPS.  Both

    running WINDOWS 7 service pack 1, the two have some Blu - Ray players & outputs HDMI.  No laptop will start the DCA, simply gives the 'NO INTERNET CONNECTION'

    error.  Stuck for now, seeking advice, no mention of DCA does not start, so I tried to not post this embarrassing question.

    J.W.

    Well well, thank you MattFTD for taking the time to read my dilemma.  I actually had things to work, but was

    the difficulty to understand why the two laptops have had the same symptoms.  Had the Dell XPS one

    expired version of Norton 360 (& System Mechanic was also exceeded in my opinion), so I renewed the two sub -.

    scriptions & let the scans run & do all the maintenance with the two programs.  Then the Norton 360

    not start again for a reason any.  Had to reload Norton 360, it received in operation.  After all the high-

    dates have been made, I am back & tried the digital cable Advisor, now it started up nicely & went

    through Setup is fine.  Do you have the same maintenance on my HP laptop, now DCA worked on it as

    Well.  Got the channels to the digital tier very well on the HP, still needed to install the unit of Silicon dust on the

    Reference Dell.   But now, that's progress.  Best reviews, maybe something in the registry for the DCA application was not

    System Mechanic & game directly put things together.  Do not know why the two laptops had the same

    problem.  Also thought the Norton 360 firewall may have been an obstacle.  I am returned & makes sure

    the firewall feature worked, represented the DCA, has worked only elsewhere too.  One more step

    to throw my leased cable boxes!
