License key does not work after a clean install of Windows 8

I bought windows 8 pro shortly after launch, but 5 days ago, my pc decided to die, I now have a new pc which came with no os, I did a clean install of say 8, unfortunately for activate windows, I need a license key, the one I have is saved to my pc now retired cannot therefore have a new NTO generated for free or what I have to buy a new one?

To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  • Re: Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key does not work after a clean install of Windows 7

    I have a problem with a Satellite A210-103. After installing the Toshiba value added package (cards Flash Support Utility) unavailable for A210, reboot, reboot Toshiba Flash Cards and by pressing the FN key several times the problem still exist.

    There must be other reasons why so many users have problems with the FN keys.

    John

    Hello John

    This with the FN keys can be really problematic. I got my Satellite A300 luck with FN feature.
    What you can try is to check if the Flash memory card support utility is available for your laptop model, or maybe A200.

    Try to install, reboot the laptop and check again the feature keys FN.

  • Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after a clean install of Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I loaded the value Toshiba driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or press FN to work.

    Any ideas?

    Hi taxwiz,.

    I think that the forum already contains hundreds of discussions about this so why you n t use the forum search?

    Anyway, you need the latest version of Toshiba Value added Package and utility Support Flash Cards.
    Try to also restart Toshiba Flash Cards (start > all programs > Toshiba) and repeatedly press the FN keys.

  • Wireless do not work after a clean install of Windows 7 Proffesional

    I just had a new ssd and installed windows 7. Everything is perfect, apart from the fact that he can't seem to pick up wireless networks. I use a hp probook 6450 b if that makes a difference. Also, I am trying to connect to public networks.

    Most often when a device does not work, it's because the driver has been corrupted.

    Try reinstalling your.

  • Disk DVD - RW does not work after a clean install of Win7

    I did a clean install of Win7 on my Acer Asprire 5738 yesterday, and I noticed this particular problem today, I needed to use the DVD player, which is a Slimtype DVD A DS8A3S ATA device.

    The problem so far, is that it is a law to disappear each time the hard drive turns down, so, for example, I put a game disc, for the installation, the drive appears in my computer folder, the drive will turn up, and start the installation until it, lets say, I need to insert a license key... the disc will spin down and slowed down and then will disappear from the system.

    I checked the properties on the material tab and it shows 2 devices, one is the device which is installed, that is, Slimtype DVD A DS8A3S ATA

    Manufacturer: CD-ROM Standard

    Location: Location 0 (channel 1, Target 0, Lun 0)

    Device status: unknown

    under this scheme, the other is listed as a WDC WD2500BEVT - 22zCT0 ATA as a type of hard drive

    Manufacturer: (standard disk drives)

    Location 0 (Channel 0, Target 0, Lun 0)

    Status of the device: this device is working properly

    I don't know what is the 2nd unit, that I have only one hard disk, and also, I do not know why the transition from vista home to a full HARD disk format and then install win7 would cause such a problem...

    any help would be greatly apreciated

  • Netflix in MCE does not work after a clean install of Vista Ultimate

    Having had a lot of problems trying to Netflix in MCE works, I decided to start over.  I did the following:

    1. installed new, clean Windows Vista Ultimate w / SP2 x 86, directly from MSDN Downloads.

    2 set up the wireless internet connection.

    3. start MCE.  Internet configuration and automatic downloads.  A ran 'download now '.  (How know when it is done?)  Waited a while.

    4 restarted MCE.  Netflix is there.  A run 'Install' to Netflix.  After it installed Netflix MCE and Silverlight, MCE restarted.  No Netflix! Tried the option 'download now '.  No effect.

    5 download and install the cumulative patches for MCE.  Restrarted machine and Netflix.  No Netflix.

    6 left MCE.  As an administrator, run "start/wait mcupdate-u - nogc ' from the command window.  No Netflix.

    I tried this twice, so it is reproducible.  Microsoft PLEASE help!

    Thanks for the reply.  After much gnashing of teeth, I finally got Netflix for work in MCE.  My current problem is, when I try to connect to Netflix to MCE, I get the error "there was a problem of signing.  Check your connection Internet is working and try again. »

    I tested my Internet from MCE and it works.

    I thought that maybe the patch you suggest would help, so I applied it and several others listed on the downloads page (KB957209 KB958653, KB977864, KB932818, 941229 KB967632, KB982480.)  I then followed the patches with the additional steps above.  I can not connect to Netflix to MCE - same error.

  • Satellite A200-10N (PSAE3): Fn key does not work after upgrade to vista any time

    After upgrading Vista-Home - Premium--> Vista Ultimate shortcut with the fn keys does not work, for example Fn + F6/7 (brightness).

    New value pack installation has not been successful.
    Moreover, after upgrading the drive to DVD from Toshiba is default, too.
    Who can help?

    I didn't try any update on my A200 but you can try to follow: install Vista using recovery media delivered. When Vista starts for the first time go in Panel and you can find Add/Remove Programs option. Remove all the stuff designed by Toshiba.

    When we remove everything, making Vista upgrade. After finishing Vista upgrade install all the stuff of Toshiba designed by order of specific facilities starting with added value package. Check please the download page if all of these tools and utilities are available.

    As far as I know all the tools and utilities are designed as universal tools and I can't imagine that there is a difference between the version of Vista ultimate or premium tools.

    DVD player is part of the image of the installations only and I can imagine that upgrade installation has changed something, but the upgrade procedure is responsible for this. I don't see any connection to Toshiba.

    As I said I don't have a CD to upgrade, but if I find one I'll try to test it on my Vista (Premium) preinstalled A200-1CR.

    Bye and I hope that you report your experiences with the Vista upgrade again.

  • CD/DVD drive does not work after 8 Win instalation

    Since a month since I've updated my windows in windows 8, everything works fine but the DVD - RW.

    When I put the blank cd and try to open it, it gives me error when opening by saying:
    "windows could not complete the format".

    Who's a software or a hardware problem?

    waiting for help!

    This means that your CD/DVD drive no longer works and is not recognized by the system?

    If Yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document that I found on the portal of the knowledge base site:

  • Satellite U920T - function keys does not work after update to Win 10

    Hello, good morning / evening...

    I use (U920T satellite) and recently updated my Windows 10 Tablet
    but after that, the function keys, volume, brightness, key FN and even the backlight does not work anymore!

    I tried to restore the system and update the driver software but nothing has worked...

    I use these keyboard shortcuts all the time and now it's really hard without them!

    What is the problem? What should I do?

    The problem is that U920T satellite is not listed as Win 10 support unit and, therefore, drivers earn 10 Toshiba and software that controls the FN keys is not released.
    But as far as I know using the FN keys, system of Toshiba and the Support of Flash Card Utility driver must be installed.

    For all Toshiba units win 10 supported, the drivers can be downloaded from this page:
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

    Maybe you can try the drivers released for other models of portable Win 10 supported...
    I'm not sure if the software will be compatible with your model of U920T, but its certainly worth a try...
