license key and product

My friend asked me to look at computer for itself, because some of its boot files were missing, the computer asked for its system disk, which when it bought the computer never got one, on the computer side here is its license with product key windows, how she can get his copy.

If Windows XP came pre-installed on your computer, contact the manufacturer of the computer for a replacement CD. If she bought a retail version of Windows XP, contact Microsoft.

    Windows 7 is pre-installed on my computer, How can I find the product key?

    The product key is located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. In rare cases it can be found also in the memory compartment. For systems of the Tower, look at the top or the side of the system unit. It looks like the following:

    If the certificate of authenticity (COA) label is damaged or letters or not readable, you will need to consider the following options:

    • Use a digital camera to capture an image of the COA and enlarge him on your computer.
    • If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.
    • If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and requires only a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.
    • If none of the above works or is not available, then its best you buy a new Windows license

    If it worked the first time, there is no reason that it will not work the second time on the same computer, as long as the Windows 7 is a full version.

    If this is an upgrade version, you must have the qualifying OS installed and enabled before you upgrade and it will work.

  • 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

  • Difference between Windows 7 Product Key and product I.D.

    Bought the new laptop HP with Win7 Home Premium installed. During the initial install verified box to authenticate when online. Never entered my product key and now two weeks later, curious to know if my windows has been authenticated. Went to the computer/properties/system to enter my key and Windows Activation:
     
    Windows is activated
    XX xxx xxxxx-oem-xxxxxxx product I.D.

    Product number I.D. is different from my tag Windows key on my pc.

    My question is if my Win7 has been authenticated or what I need to do something else to avoid problems after 30 days. Thanks to advnce.

    Nothing to worry about.  Major computer manufacturers install an image of Windows 7 using a special product key which is linked to the BIOS of the motherboard. The certificate of authenticity (COA) affixed to your computer is there to attest that the Windows 7 operating system is installed. Carey Frisch

  • Difference between the OEM license key and full version license key?

    Hello

    What is the difference between the full version of cs5.5 and the oem version of windows?

    can I upgrade the oem version?

    Thank you

    Software OEM is not transferable, but it may be useful to check any documentation you have the purchase of your computer, as a lot of software that good people was OEM, was either a trial version we bought later, (after the expiry of the test), or a full version pre-installed with a serial number that we paid when buying the computer.

    If it's the latter, then it should be transferable to a new computer, if you have the original serial number.

    No, you can not transfer this license to another computer, because it is an OEM license.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
