  • Windows 8 Media Center Pack received not e-mail with key

    I bought Windows 8 Pro Upgrade today and installed windows 8 pro

    I see that Windows 8 Media Center Pack is free and gave my email for the product key

    Its been more than 5 hours now and no email has been sent and I see that a lot of people have had the same problem and they did not also get email with product key online

    Is there a problem with the system and when going to be fixed because I've seen no official response yet to explain why people do not get the email with the product key

    This requires an answer because it is not good the first day of the windows 8 released summer and the offer was not given to those who asked me

    I understand if it's a server problem and it overloaded with requests but can anyone Microsoft please update as to why we do not get the email with the product key

    Hello PaulBoland

    A recent response to another thread http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/i-have-not-received-my-product-key-for-my-windows/ecf1ec5a-231b-42e0-bb88-b2d9f21ad3a2 suggests that it takes at least 24 hours before the key is received.

    Remember that Windows 8 has only just been published, there will be thousands of people who are trying to get the software and the product key free for Windows Media center.

    You will need to know the product key at the very least.  What happened to Windows Media Center?  It is always installed?  If so there may be some recovery options available while it is still on your machine via tools like Belarcc Advusor etc.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Basic Edition:

    Look for the COA product key:

    COA certificate of authenticity:

    What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

    Option 1:

    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.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that 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.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 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 Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    I'm sorry to know that you are facing problems with activation. I wish to inform you that, whenever there is a significant change in material to the computer, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time, you may be required to activate Windows again. You do a repair after your CPU, Windows asked you to activate the copy.

    I suggest you ask the retail store that had purchased you the copy of Windows 8 with the purchase invoice because they will better help you to provide the product key and help you to activate the copy of Windows.

    A month ago, my laptop computer motherboard fried.  I bought a similar laptop with no hard drive and a screen broken off of ebay and tinkered together in a working computer.  However, I have Windows XP home on the hard drive of the old computer and a Windows XP media center 2005 sticker on the new product key.   Product key update tool Windows won't let me upgrade to the new key.  Is there a way for me to update my windows media center Edition, so that the key work?

    What a pleasure - this really makes the license issues a joy.
    If I understand you right, "fried" your old computer was XP Home Edition - and the replacement motherboard came from a machine with MCE?
    If so, then Yes, you must use the MCE license, rather than the home one. To be entirely legal, it must also have the sticker COST MCE glued to the box.
    MCE is XP Pro - which is a reason that you can not change just the product key-based. The other is that the update tool simply is not designed to work with MCE.
    What can you do?
    Unfortunately, there is no way around it, whatever you do will involve a clean install (to backup your data first led outdoors!) If you want to stick with MCE.
     
    (1) you can go to the manufacturer of the MCE machine and ask if they can provide the recovery disc for this machine - if you're lucky, they may still have some in stock. If they are not, try restoredisks.com
    (2) you can take your life in your hands and download a torrent of a set of installation MCE - it's going to be at least two CD there are a couple of "real" out there, who are free of malicious software, but most is contaminated in some way, so be very careful and do due diligence on any download you.
    (3) you can try to find a legitimate MCE pack on sale somewhere - I don't know what it should cost, or that also the prices on them are moving from MS stopped making years and they are like gold dust. (XP Pro prices are rising, but I suspect that MCE prices may be down).
    (4) you can purchase a legal license for XP Edition family - again, be very careful where you buy-it came to a point where there are more counterfeits than legal market. This would allow you to use the update tool to keep your current installation.
     
    Note that there is no such thing as a 'detail' MCE - MCE all licenses are OEM and as such, cannot upgrade a XP Home license, where my earlier warning about backing up your data.

    Hi, this is Rafi K, I recently installed win 8 64-bit on my computer dell laptop XT3, so activated my product key with MEDIA CENTER PACK, so now I want to improve it to WIN Pro 8.1.

Thank you! am waiting for your valuable response.

    Hello Rafi K,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem.

    According to the deciphering of the question, you can not upgrade your computer Windows 8 to 8.1 of Windows. So, I suggest to try the steps by Vivian Samartha responded on April 12, 2014 in the following thread and see if it works for you.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-windows_install/kb2919355-Windows-81-update-fails-800f0092-and/4d4d23a3-695a-4bd4-B340-d2ce9c75919d

    If the problem persists after trying the above steps, I'll ask to follow the steps given by David Williams Dixon in the Blog below.

    Something happened and the 8.1 Windows installation may not be completed. (And now you are bored)

    We know if the steps help you in upgrading the computer to Windows 8.1.

    Kind regards

  • Windows upgrade offer - lost product key

    Hello world

    So here is my dilemma - I have a Toshiba laptop that came pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, when I bought it in October 2012. At the time, Microsoft was running a promotion called the Windows upgrade offer (http://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com), where, if you had purchased an eligible PC/Laptop, you could buy an upgrade to Windows 8 just AU $ 14.99.
    Later, Microsoft ran a promotion where you can receive a free media center upgrade which allows you to install Windows Media Center.
    Unfortunately, I lost the product key Windows 8 original I had received the supply of Windows 8 upgrade - and my laptop has been infected with a virus. I figured I'd just best to re - install Windows 8 by using the option "remove all and reinstall Windows" in the Windows 8 Control Panel. He was able to reinstall Windows, but asked me to enter a product key. Due to the fact that I could not find my product key, I used Belarc Advisor to find my product key, just before I went ahead with the process of re-installing. Bit I didn't, the product key that Belarc Advisor found was in fact Windows 8 with the product key for Media Center.
    Thus, Windows won't let me activate, as the Setup is 'Windows 8 Pro', not 'Windows 8 Pro with Media Center'.
    I contacted Microsoft via Twitter, phone (technical support, billing/accounts, activations and Microsoft Store departments) and live chat, those who have no record of my purchase. I still have the Windows upgrade offer promo ID and registration confirmation number I received in an email to * address email is removed from the privacy *, but they prove to be useless for support teams. Also the use of the Windows command summary site (http://mswos.com) does not seem to show my order.
    Is that what I am able to do?

    Try contacting Microsoft, once again, that is your best option;
