My system came with Windows 8 pre insalled. Where is my product key of Windows 8?
You bought your laptop Windows 8 and have noticed that it is no longer a certificate of authenticiy, located on the laptop with the product key. Some users prefer to have the product key for their recordings or other future use, they may have for her.
The product key is embedded in the BIOS on the motherboard and is encrypted so that users will not be able to read it. However, Windows 8 should be enabled, which means that the product key is located in the Windows registry.
There are utilities that can retrieve the product key listed in this thread on the Microsoft forums. The first two, Belarc and Magical Jelly Bean, work in Windows 8. As far as I know, the product key that is returned is the correct product key.
Tools and developers are not affiliated with HP and are not supported by HP.
I hope this information is useful for those who want to know the product key.

Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll
I have a Dell computer that came with Windows XP Home edition. When I start my computer the monitoring of ERROR appears: RUNDLL error loading specified not found \3\DLBUtime.dll module
I just click 'ok' and he goes, but, as for what it stop popping up everytime I start my computer.
Can someone help me with this?
Aprilm,
You are LuLu5119, who posted a question last August?
If this isn't the case, you should have started your own thread. If so (and even if not), you should have responded to questions about Dell printers.
Assuming that you complain of a "Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll" message that appears when you start your computer, you should know that the DLBUtime.dll file probably has something to do with the software from Dell which has been partially deleted, but could also be indicative of malware as well as partially withdrawn.
In both cases, the best way for start you to prevent the message at windows is to download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
Install the Autoruns and let it complete the scan of your computer. Then click on the "Connection" tab and uncheck the following entry:
Look for an entry that has 'DLBUCATS' in the first column. If you do not see that, look for "rundll32 \3\dlbutime.dll" in the last column ("path of the Image).
Uncheck that entry, close Autoruns and restart your computer. You should get is no longer the message.
If for any reason, you find later that you need dlbutime.dll running, run Autoruns and check the box. If you decide that you need never again, run Autoruns, right-click on the entry and select Delete.
As General precautionary measure, in case your entry dlbutime.dll was related to malicious software, rather than the Dell printing software, download the following free scanners:
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware: http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware Portable: http://superantispyware.com/portablescanner.htmlFor MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, download, install, update and run.
For Portable SAS, follow the instructions on the Web page (note that the instructions assume that you use a different computer to download; if you're not, just make a note of the name of the file). -

I have an Acer computer I want to do a total restore. It came with windows 7 starter edition, and then I bought Microsoft word for it. If Microsoft word will lose if I do the restoration?
If you purchased Word on CD, it's no big deal; just reinstall it after the factory restore. If it was bought online, copy the file downloaded to a CD and then reinstall it later.
Is there a particular reason, why you want to do a restore complete? Have you problems? If so, you can try asking here on how to fix them and do not have to do a restore, reinstall all your programs and all of the updates and service pack 1.

my system came with a Vista operating system pre-installation. How to make a record
I need a drive system of re - install Vista on my pc which came with a preinstalled OS
Hello
Here are the different ways to reinstall vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on my PC that came with Windows 10?
Original title: version of Windows 7
Hi, is it possible to install Windows 7 on my PC? I already have Windows 10 but the thing is, I'm updating, I bought my PC pre-installed with Windows 10. Given that I have not upgraded, I can't downgrade. Is it possible to install Windows 7 on my PC without having to buy new? I've already paid for Windows 10 and the reason why I want to go back because 10 Windows is so buggy. I know not to download the ISO of Windows 7 images, but my product key does not work with it. Or y at - it a way to transfer windows 7 from my laptop to my desktop Windows 10? Please help and have a nice day!
Option 1:
How to: Dual Boot Windows 7 or Windows 8 with Windows installed 10 first
Option 2:
How Downgrade Windows preinstalled 10 for Windows 7/8.1
In both cases, you will need to provide your own license.

How to restart a computer that came with windows already installed.
I have a desktop with windows 8, which was installed by the manufacturer. It crashed and tried to reload winows 8 of microsoft. Recovery usb I downloaded from microsoft was trying to restart windows 8. Initial start-up asked me the windows KEY. The key is loaded into the bios but is not visible. How can I regain access windows KEY? Thank you
You're telling me that the manufacturer could not / refuses to send you the installation media to restore their computer to condition "as delivered"?
Who is the manufacturer? I know that Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Toshiba, etc all have them set up programs to help users specifically with (this installation/recovery to get to their systems support) as they agreed (in their license agreement with Microsoft) provide a method for the end user to do exactly this.
In many cases the 8/8.1 Windows product key is embedded in the BIOS at the factory for these machines. You could read here on some methods for such a key - but honestly - you shouldn't have it (must be able to skip that part in installation and always get installed.):
