  Then its likely that win7 has provided preinstalled by the manufacturer of your PC and as such, its display of the volume used by the PC manufacturer, key which is not the same as that which would have been attached to the label on your PC

  If the case, a pre-installed version of win, then ask the recovery disks from the manufacturer of your PC, for which there is a fee, these discs would not usually require any key will be used.

  I lost my product key to my disc of windows 7 Home premium how can I get a new

  Microsoft recommends that you only buy a new product key if you have lost your Windows 7 product key.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  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

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  Your only option is to restore the computer to its original factory condition.

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often 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 Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

• I lost my product key, but has my DVD of Windows XP. How can I get another product key?

  original title: product key

  I have the DVD original, but lost the product key; would it not be in one of the files? What is my option?

  It would depend on the brand and model of your PC. Know also there are generally two types of product keys: single and "OEM Royal golden master" (which is like a volume license key).

  Are you absolutely sure that you have lost your product key? If you bought a PC pre-installed with Windows XP, you probably have this unique product key (the) on the COA sticker that is expected to be on the case (or at the bottom of the laptop).

  In addition, if your PC does not work, you can use a program like Belarc Advisor or Magical Jellybean Finder to get your key (but if you have a gold key, it's one that will appear, not one single).

  Finally, you can not even your key. If your 'original' DVD (or CD maybe?) is a recovery CD, it will very probably return your PC to its original state pre-activated. If it's a Dell brand XP installation CD (and you install it on a Dell computer!), then she too is pre-activated; It would be not asked to enter a key during installation.

• Instalation of Windows XP Home, but I lost the product key. My old computer died. How do I install it in a new computer.

  I have Windows XP Home Edition Cd. But I lost the product key. My old computer is ded. How do I install it in a new computer.

  If your XP is preinstalled on your old computer, it is an OEM installation and cannot be moved to the new.

  If you bought a copy retail full XP, then your key should be in the case of CD holding the disc.

  If you have lost you don't have a chance and will need to purchase a new license for Windows. MS sells more than XP, and in stores, stocks are running out. eBay (and other sites) lists the number of available items - which most is a counterfeit.

  You should consider buying a newer OS, assuming that your hardware is compatible.
