Please tell me where to find the product key of...
Thanks in advance.
Hello
This is often a point of confusion, but the requested key is not your product key of Windows 8 (this key is actually stored on your laptops bios chip and only serves to activate Windows).
To add a feature of Windows 8, you can buy another key for the relevant upgrade, you need - for example, to add to Windows Media Center, you first need to buy a product key for this addition, and then in the add components - dialog once made and the key is validated, the additional functionality is automatically downloaded and installed.
Depending where in the world you live, these additional product keys can be purchased online or in store - for a description more complete, please consult the Microsoft page on the following link.

Cannot find the product key for Microsoft Office 2007 on laptop
I have MS Office 2007 pre-installed on my Toshiba laptop that I recently had to do a recovery and now my MS Office programs i.e. MS Word and Excel are blocked and I can not use! Where can I find the product key for pre-installed Microsoft Office 2007 on my laptop?
Hello coastaln8ive,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.
Since your Office 2007 pre-installed with Toshiba, you should contact Toshiba to see if they will provide with Office recovery disks.
It would be Toshiba to provide records.Sincerely, Marilyn

Cannot find the product key to reinstall Vista
I want to reinstall Windows Vista to clean my Toshiba laptop, but when I bought it, it came with the Windows Vista disc. When I searched the help options, they said I have a sticker on my laptop that has the product key to this topic. I'm sure that I have this sticker, but it is worn out, so I can't read the key top. Is there another way for me to recover this product key, so I can reinstall Windows Vista?
Hello
Key Finder programs are useless to use on the OEM of the computer like Toshiba, Acer, etc.
They will only find a product key that is used on several computers during the Manufactuering which is of no use to you when reinstalling the operating system.
These programs are only useful to find retail operating system product keys, which then can be used.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Follow these steps to reinstall Vista:
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
With a Toshiba recovery process can be started by pressing 0 (zero) at startup. (Power on / start)
This is Toshibs; has instructions on this subject.
"How restore your laptop Toshiba to its state of charge software factory using system recovery"
https://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletinDetail.jsp?soID=2737864&PF=true
The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

I can't find my product key. I bought as a student, and I never received any e-mail with the product key. I checked my products and Plans, and no products have been registered
Because you send messages in a creative forum Cloud, the response to your request for a product key would be that there is none.

Cannot find the product key and can not use the gift cards to buy Windows 7 from retail store
Original title: Let Down by Microsoft Retail store
My daughter lives and breathes on his pc. We had some tough times lately, and of course, his computer has had too many problems. In February of this year, I bought a Win 7 Home Premium for his pc. Since we moved, so I can't find the package with the product key, or the disc. I have $75 in gift cards from Microsoft, I need to buy new win 7 hp. Almost all retailers (in store and online) competitive price a new copy for about $119. We have been saving, and with gift cards, I would have just enough money to buy win 7 hp for my daughter. I went to our Microsoft store in the Mall. (Don't forget I saved for about 6 weeks, we are on a budget, then gift cards have been a miracle!) Guess what? The only place that I can use the maps from Microsoft wants $199.99. To add insult to injury - I can't use gift cards for purchases in line-HELP! We waited 2 months just to be left out... I am very disappointed by Microsoft.
I thought that we recorded our product with Microsoft when it was originally installed, but cannot find anyone. All solutions?If you have purchased windows is installed a keyfinder allows you to recover your product key.
I think that the price of $119 is to upgrade xp/vista to windows 7.the $199 price is for the full version. -
Cannot find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium
I don't have the product key of Windows 7 Home Premium? Where can I find it?
Original title: Charles 111
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft community.
I would like to ask you:
- Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?
If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.
If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.
Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.

Your question is where is the product of Windows 8/8.1 key?
Your product key is embedded in the BIOS of motherboard, which eliminates the problem of COA faded/doors on the computer/laptop stickers.
When you reinstall it automatically finds.

Enter the correct number at the right time and proceed with the installation.
