My laptop doesn't have a Windows 7 key on it

The warranty of my Pavilion G7 - 2017CL missed October 2013. The other day, I decided that I was not satisfied with his performance and being in IT, has decided to start with a clean install of Windows.

First issue: couldn't reboot into Recovery...

Second question: started on my repair disc when the grantor a back and it worked, I did, was able to reinstall Windows... except... when he arrived at the point of asking my activation key for Windows 7, I searched on the laptop, but there is no sticker anywhere to be found. I checked the battery compartment and all...

If I had not already formatted, I would just get a program to get my key for me, but, unfortunately, is long gone. Next thought was to use my backup recovery, that I had created shortly after the first it is... Negative... can't locate those... and the repair disk, I had in hand was actually from a backup of my work computer. At this point, I can install Windows but cannot activate. Who should I contact? HP and pays for them to tell me so much? Microsoft so that they can tell me it's an OEM license and that they cannot do anything for me? * sigh *... long night... Anyone got any experience or suggestions on this?

    Original title: product key

    Hello

    I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help if I can send a photo to show him what it's like. I formatted my laptop and he asks the authentic copy. I really need help coz 2 days left to activate.

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    You can extend the activation period of 30 days by running slmgr /rearm since the Admin command prompt.

    Then take a picture of your COA sticker with your phone, blow as large as possible to try to detect all the characters input for Activation.  You can also use a magnifying glass.

    If you can not use the key to product then you will need to either the order of the restoration of the factory of the manufacturer of your PC media, or if you have a C:\windows.old folder you can try to reinstall the factory to SLP activation file.  However we do not support this so you will need to search on your own.

  • FOR THOSE WHO HAVE UNREADABLE WINDOWS PRODUCT KEY STICKER

    If your Windows product key label is worn out or unreadable, you can forget about getting any help from Dell or Microsoft. You're basically on your own. Microsoft will send you to Dell. Dell will send you to Microsoft. Microsoft will try to charge you money. Dell will try to charge you money. You'll spend an hour chasing your tail and you will get nowhere.

    This is a very simple and very common problem. It is mind-boggling to me that there is not some sort of procedure in place to deal with a wide scope or unreadable COA label.

  • J9M28UA #ABA: cable for white missing wireless antenna? or this laptop doesn't have it?

    I jumped out of the back of my new laptop to see why my internet wasn't working all the time. Turns out the wire black antenna has not been pushed all the way so it kept popping market.

    But I noticed that the white wire is not there? I got this laptop only for 2 weeks so I was wondering if the new hp 15 inch touch screen laptop windows 8.1 this lack on an accident or done this way?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal or if it was an oops of the company and the lack of white wire?

    Thanks to anyone with an answer.

    I included the picture of what it looks like - I went through all the info just in case by case

    Hello:

    Some models with wireless cards single band (2.4 GHz) come only with a single antenna.

    I have no idea why HP did this because two antennas on a single band card would provide to improve wireless reception.

    By the part number on the wireless card, I see that it is a Realtek 8188EE model which is a single band card.

    HP do not make a mistake and leave out an antenna.

    You may need to update the drivers and utilities for your laptop with Windows 7 drivers, and check if the function is to return. Link from the manufacturer:

  • Thunderbird mail on another laptop doesn't have a copy

    I saved my emails on an external hard drive and am overseas now try to load on another laptop but am unsuccessful. When I followed the steps, it goes through the process of 'copy', and I can see my email in folders listed in the Thunderbird folder. BUT, when I open Thunderbird itself, I don't see them in the mailbox and can not access.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, but I'm still without success. Could this be a problem that I was using Windows 8 and now use an older laptop with Windows XP loaded?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Good. You can then mark the thread as "Solved" Please?
