  • Install Windows 10 Pro lowered home (with no product key) after expenses.

    Received my Lenovo ThinkPad 11th yesterday and after much research, I decided to do a clean install. It came with WIndows 10 Pro and I checked the settings (that I created my Windows account at the same time) and he said that it has been activated using Windows. According to the instructions of Microsoft (and various YouTube videos, I've looked), once a machine is activated, it would automatically update the product key, so no need to find.

    That is the problem. I had installed 10 Windows on a USB key and the installation went well, or so I thought. I checked the settings after installing different programs that I would use as he said that I need activate Windows. Well, checking settings, he lowered me 10 Windows Home and of course the the product key in the system (if it's still there) that is the error I get is not valid.

    Of course, it is not a product key on the bottom of the computer and there is nothing in the box. How can I get my product key back so that I can install Pro back?

    Using ProduKey, I get two different keys. One for the new Home edition and the other for the OEM Bios. I guess that I need reintsall (new) and use the key in BIOS Yes?

    So guess what? He's back for Pro and it is activated!

    I think what happened is that I downloaded the single language version and that's what he screwed up. I just redownloaded windows 10 (first on the menu drop-down) and he installed Pro and activated.

    Creating new media doesn't let you choose, he will choose for you based on your product key from the system.

    Thanks for your help.

  • How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

    Original title: window 7

    Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

    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. »)

  • How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?

    Product key for reinstallation question

    I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer.  I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time.  The sticker on my computer displays a product key.  When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key.  Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc?  Thanks for any help.

    PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.

    If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates.

    (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the compartment of the battery from your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, when the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator Gold Edition product key does not work.

    just bought microsoft flight sim gold Edition. I have flight sim X on my computer with acceleration. I uninstalled acceleration then transferred gold.everything was going well until I tried to inter the product key. I tried flight sim X pro, did not work. I then tried XP X Flight Simulator that has not worked.

    When I bought the Edition first however I did an installation and noticed that had not changed in aircraft or mission that is what brings me to uninstall and then try what I describe above. Now it seems that nothing works

    Thanks for the reply! It seems that the problem is that I tried to install the Excceleration provided with the Microsoft Flight Sim Gold Edition on top of the current edition. I called Microsoft customer service and gave access to a technician in India.  She went through my computer and worked on all issues.  Not to change the subject, but I was surpised at how all this worked compared to 20, more years ago, when I would call the customer support.  At the time could dial the number and a tech would answer the phone and will guide you through it.  Now we have forums, groups and telephone answering services that you must pass to speak to a technician. It was when Windows is first out with Gui and Win 3.1.  Thanks to Microsoft and after all these years, there are still the best, and their customer support is excellent.

  • Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 - not accepted product key

    I bought the Satellite A60 Pro in February 2005. He Microsoft Office OneNote pre-loaded, but when I try to use it, it tells me to enter the product key for the record. I finally found the label on the product recovery disc, but when I enter the five groups of the product key, I thought they are incorrect and I'm unable to use the software.

    Any suggestions please on my next course of action?

    [Edited by: admin on 26 June 05 20:55]

    Hi Alan,

    First, I would check with the original vendor that you have received the correct laptop recovery CD. It is possible that you have the CD for another laptop by mistake.

    If the seller cannot help then you can contact Microsoft customer support that can give you a new product key. Note that you need to provide some details of your registry in order to prove that you have a valid copy but they will normally be able to tell you exactly where to look for information.

  • Windows Vista Build 6002 this copy of windows is not geniue (product key incorrect for the wrong operating system type)

    OK, so after having received a computer from second hand for the game, I started to find that he was not registered. I tried to register it with the product key on the machine, but wait - that's Vista Ultimate, not the business of Vista on the computer! To prove that it was legitimate, he says "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You should run Windows Vista set up or enter a Windows Vista Business product key." If I had to pitch the series up (I don't know how), would it erase my hard drive of all it's data and drivers (which I do not want to happen)? I tried to look in the little upgrade Anytime, but

    He just had an option to compare the editions of Windows Vista. Help please!

    The key used is the KMS of professional for Windows Vista Volume License.

    MS licenses require a reactivation with the host at least every 180 days.
