Misspelling of Microsoft Windows COA sticker - real?
I bought a Lenovo ThinkCentre second hand on eBay UK (I live in the United Kingdom) a year ago, and I barely noticed a typo in on the Microsoft COA, stuck on the side of the computer. This machine came with Windows Vista Business installed, but I think a typo in 'WIndows' is a very rare case. I have not yet tested the product key.
Right, I just activated Vista Business 64-bit with the key on the certificate of authenticity. It seemed to work very well, and there is no problem.

Windows COA sticker worn, how can I get Win7 key #?
I have a G60-535DX laptop, hard drive has been replaced and has no recovery Partition. Is there a way to get Windows 7 key # if I have a serial number of the product? The COA sticker is worn, it can not see all the characters. It came with Windows 7 Home Premium.
If you can boot into Windows, the easiest way to retrieve the key is to use a utility calledMagic Jellybean .
If you cannot start Windows, or who have already replaced or reformat your hard drive, then you have four choices.
(1) use the recovery disk series or usb recovery media that you should have created and put in a safe place.
(2) buy a HP or an HP partner recovery disk
(3) purchase of a new facility under license of Windows 7 DVD
(4) install an operating system open source as a version of Linux
If you are using a serial or usb disk recovery recovery media, you use the activation of license key. The Windows certificate of authenticity is just there to provide proof of legal license and in case an owner has decided to install a non HP Microsoft Windows version.

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.

Key to Windows product activation on the COA sticker is wiped out
The product key on the COA sticker is annihilated. My laptop is in the form of post formatted with the trial version enabled...
How can I get the key...? Windows 7 Home Premium...
Original title: activate Windows
Using your recovery win disks you do according to your instructions from PC manufacturers, when you got the PC, or even dial that PC manufacturers support to request the recovery discs, for which there will be a small fee
(Using disk recovery does not require any key to be entered)

New PC came without the Windows 7 disc and the COA sticker
Is there anyway to find out what is my COST and anyway to make my own record of what is already installed? Or maybe get a CD-ROM of replacement directly from Microsoft without having to buy a whole new product since this is activated and genuine.
Thanks for any help.
If you do not have a Windows 7 disc to the seller, you have really even a valid license of Windows 7 at first. A valid license of Windows 7 includes documented product key, original installation DVD and the license agreement wrote. The "song and dance" the seller "lose the drive" everything is wrong in itself. If the seller cannot provide a disc of Windows 7 genuine, real, the license is not valid because as a result of an incorrect license transfer has occurred. The only media that can replace Microsoft are "retail" and not "OEM" meida. See: How to replace Microsoft software Carey Frisch

Microsoft windows XP Professional edition, report of invalid key
Hi group, I recently acquired various work redundant COMPUTER equipment, more has been discharge so I thought I could do some use. I got a HP D530 S nude which I plan on my daughter in her room for homework fundamental & internet. The disc has been removed from the desktop until I acquired it for security reasons. Since then, I've replaced the hard drive and you have the PC running. The problem is that I have the sticker COST of windows genuine with code 25 alpha numeric attached to the desktop computer, but after installing windows from a disk in Win XP Pro I have installed on my machine, I get the message that the code is not authentic. I contacted Microsoft both on 0800 & 0844 numbers, but nothing helped. Last time I called it took the Lady 35 minutes to give me the answer "You must contact the seller of the machine that you can not install windows without the disc", I read the topics before posting this thread, but they all seem incompatible with my problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Cordially Otto UKPS: I realized any advice on entering/change product keys, but he still reached the same conclusionIn this case, use the product key update tool to change the key to that on the sticker...
Use the product key update tool - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/help/genuine/product-key to change the key for that which concerns your COA sticker, and then to restart and to publish a new report MGADiag we can confirm everything went well

Ouch! Please do not yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally,
in different cases.See other responses, you got, but note also that you have that
sticker only if you purchased your computer with Windows pre-installed.
You don't have if you bought Windows yourself and installed.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows desktop experience) since 2003

0x8004fe21 win 7 MGADiag not true report a different product than the COA sticker key
I have an Asus laptop K50IJ with Win7 Home Premium SP1 as (bought new in December 2009, from a reputable retailer) and about 5 years later, began to "this computer is not running genuine Windows" for some time in the middle to late February 2015, 0x8004fe21 appears on pop up message. I continued to by clicking on the red x to close the window because I have not had time to try to solve the problem. I was afraid to click on the link "Pay online now" in the pop up because I wasn't sure if it was a legitimate link or not. Last week, I started the research question, but I still don't know what to do. Control system info panel says that Windows is activated. I ran MGA diagnostic tool and noticed that the last 15 characters of the product key in the report are different from the sticker on the bottom of my computer. I found a lot of posts with corrections to this type of problem, but none of them are exactly my situation. We were on Windows update KB3004394 but that is not installed on my computer. Many precautions are noted so I hesitate to try something that changes the register or license key and product (e.g. slmgr /ilc or IPK) because I know not if the product key on the sticker will be valid. According to the report, "remaining Windows rearm count: 3 ' and a message says that the screen will become black permanently after a month, so last week I changed the system date of the month return to February (so today is 01/03/15) just in case where I can't solve this problem in time. I don't know if change the date system will be actually buy me more time, but the more I read about this type of problem, plus I'm not sure what to do. I'd like suggestions on how I could fix it if I should place a phone call to resolve. Thank you!

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium iso files
OK, it of maybe a stupid question, but won't be my first, and I am sure that it will not be my last.
For him get out of the way, I did mess up and do not follow my own protocols for the manufacture of the recovery disks and appropriate backups before moving on to a system. I have a HP Pavilion netbook I've recently upgraded to Windows 8, and I hate myself for doing it since then.Qualifier: I don't think that the OS is as bad as many others say, but I don't think it's a good choice for a device that doesn't have a touch screen. I have it used on the other while in addition, tablets and new convertible laptops and have no problem with her on these devices. That said, I don't think it has no place on any device that does not have a touchscreen.Back to my question, so I want to just restore the copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on the device by using the original product key is it came with.I have read some other similar forum posts and tried to use the files a links provided in these responses, but so far none have worked, and I wonder if it's a compatibility issue?Construction on the product key label is X 16-96072 and my search for which did not provide any interesting information yet, but I intend to keep looking.Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!This is a question about the COA key, what you can do is jump to enter the product key, complete the installation follow these steps:
Click Start, right click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click on the link 'change product key '.
Enter the product key located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. Click next to activate via the Internet.

EliteBook 840 D1F44AV: Legal re-installation of Windows / COA
Hello
Having a sticker of COA that reads HP Windows 7 Pro OA to the back of the laptop means that the laptop comes with legal pre-installed Windows, if so can I use any windows media to reinstall as long as it's the same version, or should I use a HP recovery DVDs? that is important if the Windows I'm trying to install is 32-bit or 64-bit? I ask because I have an Elitebook 840 that has what I think a windows no legitimate Pro 7 32bits and there is no recovery partition.
Thank you
The presence of a Win7 COA sticker means that the PC has been preinstalled at the factory with a version of Win7 OEM HP.
You cannot use any version of Win7 to replace that, because only an OEM version will activate using the product key that came with your PC.
IF you are using an OEM HP's version, it will activate, but HP is more for older PC Win7 recovery media. Instead, you must check this site to see if they still carry the media for your PC: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/
From the point of view of activation, it doesn't matter if it's 32-bit or 64-bit, because they use the same product key, but if you are installing a different version, you may not be able to find the HP drivers for it, as HP mainly provides 64-bit computers.
Good luck

I just got a call from someone who said that they call microsoft Windows
I just got a call from someone who said that they call microsoft Windows that they have received the error messages from my computer stating that my computer is slow because of problems of malware & spyware. I explained I mcaffe Security Center and she said this would not be effective against the problems that I made my excuses and hung up, it's a real phone call or I'm just ignore it?
my laptop has been running a little slow on the internet, but I assumed it was because of the age of the computer?any help thank you gratefully received chrisFake phone calls to technical support
You did the right thing.
Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.
Please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .
Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.
These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

Cannot reactivate XP Home after a clean install (part of COA sticker missing)
My son had my old Dell inspiron 600 m away from the College, and I decided to completely wipe and reinstall XP Home before donation locally. Unfortunately the COA sticker on the base used in part, and I can't read 25 characters 3. No problem, I thought, because I know there is software that extract the product key from the registry. So I did this... and got a product key that's nothing but one on the sticker! We have never reinstalled Windows before product key has certainly never been changed since we bought the laptop in 2006, so for the life of me I don't understand why there should be a different product than the sticker under the watch key.
Well, I didn't have much choice at this time, so I used the product key from the registry during the reinstallation, and it has been accepted and worked well. However when I try to reactivate windows, MS site says that the key I used is "not allowed." I tried to go through the routine of phone to talk to someone and explain my situation, but the Nice robot just told me to go buy a "true copy" of windows. Well, we already have one of those, and I just want to turn it on. Of course, I'd appreciate any suggestions on my next steps. TIA!
Unfortunately, without the sticker from the bottom of your computer, you may be out of luck.
The difference in key OEM (like Dell) how can install using a unique key because of the huge number of machines they sell. The sticker is there for you to use in a situation like yours.
If you can not go out only 3 characters? Any reference to what they are about?
