Microsoft Office came pre-installed with my HP desktop computer, but I need a # to activate it.

Anyone know how I can get the activation #-I searched the box & all docs with care – not A #.  Help!

PotatoCouch,

MS Office is not free. Probably your installed version is a trial version. See here

    Hello JothinVedere

    After you have re-installed Windows XP, you can go on the site Web of Norton and download the software from their part. Once you have downloaded it you should be asked for an email or an account that you configured when you first bought Norton, log. After that, Norton is turned on with the rest of the time for your subscription should be displayed. If you have further questions about Norton, you can click on their link to support here. I hope this helps.

  • How to find my product key Windows 8 if it came pre-installed on my Hp laptop. I want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 when it comes out.

    I would like to install Windows 8.1 when it comes out in August. According to Microsoft:

    You must have your product key to install 8.1. My laptop came pre-installed with it and I don't know where to find. I would not use 3rd party applications. I know how to get into my CMOS and that's all. Thank you.

    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.

  • Pre-installed Vista CD computer Dell laptop allows you to install Vista on another computer of dell desktop originally pre-installed with XP?

    Hello.

    Have an old dell desktop with XP.
    Have a new computer dell laptop with Vista.

    Both came pre-installed.
    Both came with a CD to reinstall Windows.

    Am I allowed to install Vista from that original CD on the desktop?
    I did, then you have the problem (not genuine copy of Vista). I have since reinstalled Vista, but before I completely setting up the office, once again, I want to make sure that I am able to do this (do not want the new not genuine error).

    Specific questions:
    1. am I allowed to use portable CD to install Vista on another computer?
    2. If so, that must be done to ensure the "not genuine" error can't?

    Thanks for any help.

    Reference Dell binds their records to their motherboards.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    And a Vista license = a Vista Installation.

  • Product key Office 2007 pre-installed can be transferred to the new Thinkpad?

    Hello

    When I bought my x 200 Thinkpad 4 years ago I bought Office 2007 pre-installed. I still have the product key for MS Office, but I do not believe that the x 200 comes with the software CDs. Now, I'm going to buy a new Thinkpad and want to use my Office 2007 software.

    I don't want to pirate software. Anyone happens to know...

    1. Am I allowed to install the software on multiple computers under the license that you get with a preinstallation Thinkpad?
    2. If so, how to install the software on my second computer?

    Thanks in advance for any info!

    The answer is probably no, but it depends on what, in fact has been installed. read this:

    In my case, just by running the "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common" at CMD with ADMIN rights and by following the steps in uninstalling was enough.

    @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

    You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

    Windows 8 came pre-installed on a hp Tower pre-built, am now upgrading my computer (new Mobo, Cpu, Gpu, cases, etc.) and guard my drive hard, how can I keep windows? or I have to buy a new product key?

    Hello

     
    Please contact Microsoft Community.
     
    The problem description, I understand that you want to upgrade the hardware and need to confirm how can you keep your operating system.
     
    In this case, I want to tell you that you want to keep your drive hard if you do not have to reinstall the operating system and that you upgrade the motherboard too and in the OEM version product key is integrated motherboard, so in this case, you may need contact system manufacturing to re activate your product key.
     
    For reference, please see:

    Hello

    You use the editions of Office before on your system?

    This can occur if you have installed all editions of Office before on your system.

    As you use Office editions, you can hide these updates and check if that helps:

    a. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, clicking all programs, and then clicking Windows Update.

    b. click on view available updates , and then click on hide update.

    If you want to remove the installed office updates, then remove the updates and change the parameter in advising me on updates, so that you can hide these updates.

    For more information, see the articles:

    Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

    original title: Windows Vista to Windows XP?

    Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

    No, you can't downgrade. But you can probably * clean install * Windows XP.

    I say "probably" because there is a potential problem with drivers XP being available for all hardware. If the computer is a laptop, this risk is greater. So check with the manufacturer or on their web site to make sure that all the drivers you need do not exist for XP.

  • I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I rebooted, restored, ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, uninstall/install update etc...

    I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I have rebooted, restored (im doing this), ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, malware, virus, uninstall/install etc and my machine wil always do not run for a long time without going through some sort of problem after an hour or two.  Can anyone suggest what to do about this? I read a lot of information online on all the windows 8 and fixes bugs, etc, but anything Microsoft/Windows, which ensures its customers, a hotfix or compesating their customers with software that still works. This isn't a hardware problem, and I can't keep day and bad shooting and trying to fix the day things in?

    Sincerely,
    A client who is a loss for words.
    Here are some problems in no particular order.
    1.) apps to not install it, and/or Windows saying they are when they are in fact not. The fix to install / uninstall, or get on the site of windows directly in general does not, and or does not at all.
    The change permissions 2.) does not work on files that you should be able to access in changing oxnership, permissions, etc.
    3.) Google chrome won't let me access my account of microsoft (or fact rarely) trying to access assistance. But internet Explorer doesn't?
    Randomly will increase from Internet 4.) a previous connection wired to wireless to a reboot.
    5.) my 8 'key' windows was only shown to me after that I have let Windows scan my machine online? Why? I paid for this... I restarted it and it says: service not available (it worked the third attempt which was 1-3 minutes after the initial analysis). Windows only showed my product ID not the key. I know that my victory. 8 was OEM when preinstalled I bought it new, but why didn't we files on it that had nothing to do with activation, appearing on dates for three weeks, or so before I bought it. What is the 'activation of the factory'?
    6 :) Windows Essentials does not hang for a long time, and the troubleshooterprogram of update simply does not work (I had to go to the website to try tp operate, the bluetooth functionality is not good that there is an error.
    7.) windows scan and repair gets stuck at 27% (Im not the only one with this problem).
    8.), avery MS Office 2013 Disappears so often and not easy to reload "we have encountered a problem.
     

    The computer manufacturer is responsible to see that it works properly with Windows 8. It says that it is a new computer I contact HP and make these problems their. If you don't get satisfactory results I turn and look elsewhere for a computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.
