• Lost Windows 7 ultimate key

  I tried to find my Windows product key 7, but it turns out that I lost it. Is there a way to recover it, and are these safe to use on my system tools/methods?

  Microsoft recommends that you only buy a new key of product if you lost.

  If Windows 7 is installed, you can try to recover the product key.

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

  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 window

• Lost Windows license key

  I have an old Compaq 610 Notebook PCand the hard drive failed, unfortunately.  Can I replace the hard drive, but the Windows licesnse key sticker is so worn that I can read is no longer the characters.  How can I retrieve my license key?

  Sorry, but there is no way to retrieve the PID key that was printed on the COA Microsoft sticker. Further, the key that would have been recovered since the failed hard drive now is not the same as that on the sticker. You will need to use the recovery/restoration of HP/Compaq media to install the factory OS on the new hard drive. If you do not have this media, you can be able to demand for HP business support.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• ThinkPad E530: Windows 8 COA sticker missing

  Recently, I bought Thinkpad E530 mobile computer with Windows 8 Pro installed. However, I did not receive installation disc and there was no COA sticker anywhere. I also checked under the battery. The seller says something like "it's something new with Windows 8 and sticker is no longer necessary.

  I tried first to get assistance on Microsoft website, but after entering Windows 8 PID I learned that I would have to pay for it, because my copy is supported by Lenovo.

  Contacting Lenovo has proved to be a challenge. I was just unable to find a way to do online. Only way seems to be by phone and:

  1. I'm not willing to pay for international calls

  2. I want, a written confirmation, so I put pressure on my seller

  So, I really need to know, how to communicate with Lenovo and ask two things:

  1. How can I install media?

  2. How can I get the key of Windows 8 (for example to install the new copy) and the COST is really more provided.

  Thank you in advance.

  Correct COST is over supplied.

  If you want to learn more about the PID, see http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/windows-8-product-key.htm

  I have a TechNet subscription, so I have no problems with getting ISOs for Windows 8 Pro (which I'm available for). Once you get the correct version, you should be able to install the operating system without even having to enter the product key.

• Pavilion g6-1325sa: lost Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello

  I got a laptop HP Pavilion g6-1325sa Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit for my birthday about 2-3 years ago now and a situation that happened earlier that forced me to erase my hard drive completely, remove the Windows hard disk operating system entirely and made me go to Ubuntu I had no BONES. I am now trying to restore my OS to Windows 7 and am having some problems trying to find the right place. I went on the Windows website and tried to download the operating system and typed in my serial number of the license which is always on the bottom of my laptop. Windows gave me an error saying that HP are those who do I contact to get my operating system. While browsing the site, all I get are tutorials on how to restore a laptop with Windows 7 already on it or tutorials without relevance along these lines, but nothing that helps me. I'm missing the page where I enter my serial number and retrieve my OS or HP will try to make me pay for a brand new operating system, regardless of the fact that I have the code for my old?
  
  Any help is very appreciated,
  James

  What you need is recovery discs and (not series) key located on the COA sticker on the bottom of the computer, or maybe in the battery compartment.

  If you have not created recovery disks when you got the computer, then you will have to order them.

  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the site worldwide: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html

• lost windows media without known reason player

  I very recently used SPAMfighter, since I finally used Windows Media Player.

  Hi Bartlett_93,

  ·         What operating system is installed on your computer?

  ·         What are you referring when you say "have lost the player windows media without known reason '?

  Follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1: I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player using the Windows features turn on or off.

  See the following for more information Microsoft article:

  Turn on or off Windows features

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-features-on-or-off

   

  Note: Windows Media Player should be included under multimedia functions. Uncheck the same and restart the computer to uninstall WMP. Rechecking and restarting the computer would be re - install WMP.

  Method 2: There might be some third-party at the origin of the problem application to happen, that's why I suggest you put your machine in a clean boot state and check.

• Installation of windows? COA on the box?

  I am computer Geeks.com IBM a while ago and it came with windows xp pro top. But it did not come with a cd. It has a COA sticker on the box.

  I now need to re - install. I have a disc or two Windows XP Pro, but they are on other computers.

  I need to know how I can install on IBM computer by using the certificate of Authenticity on the box. Should I order a disc or something?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  To use the product key on the COA sticker, you will need to install with a disc of OEM (unbranded) credits XP Pro. If one of your drives fit that description (installation from a Dell computer disks are not labeled or copies of detail) you can use this disk for the installation and the product key for IBM. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a full copy of XP, which will come with its own product key. In my view, Amazon.com and NewEgg.com still sell XP. I would be very wary about buying software from places like Craigslist or eBay. After installation, be sure to install all the drivers/utilities that you will get the Lenovo Web site for this model computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Can I restore the backup Windows XP on a new computer with Windows 7 COA and upgrade to Windows 7?

  Original title: upgrade question.

  I currently have a PC running XP in a system with an IDE drive. The system has many applications that the company has moved the installation discs, so I need to move the contents of the entire disk to a new system. I was about to do the following:
   
  System backup with a recovery boot disk, in this case a USB.
   
  Restore the entire operating system to a new system that will have a SATA drive in it. The new system will have a COST for Windows 7.
   
  Start the XP and upgrade to Windows 7.
   
  My question is, will it work or the absence of the COA of XP on the new system will prevent me to install?
   
  Any help would be appreciated.
   
  Thank you
   
  The f

  Short answer, "no, this will not work."

  It is unclear what you mean by 'backup' and 'restore', but it seems that if you are referring to the creation of a disk image or a clone of disk on an external drive and then either restore the image or cloning to the new computer.  Assuming that both of these computers was provided with Windows pre-installed, this process will almost certainly result in a facility that cannot be 'activated '.  In addition, unless the software you use has something like Acronis Universal Restore, restore the image from your old computer to a player in a new computer with a different hardware simply will not work.

  In addition, the lack of an XP license is not the issue.  There are several problems with the process you describe, but basically, an "upgrade" from XP to Win 7 requires a "custom installation" which means that applications should be re-installed.

  Hello

  There are two options available.

  1. You can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  1. Download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

  https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

  If you need a utility to create a flashdrive bootable for this Image, try the free app below.

  The product key for Windows 8 is encrypted in your bios chip and read automatically during installation.

  Software extra and you may need drivers are by entering your full model number or Nr here.
