• Windows key does not work (not valid)

  I have an old installation of Windows XP Professional I need to recharge.  I have a borrowed the CD for Windows XP Professional with SP3 slipstreamed into it.  I got the Windows key, I used on the computer, and it corresponds to the original key that I recorded a long time ago.

  When I reload Windows, it indicates that the key is not valid, even if it is the same key that originally came with the computer.  The original disks are long gone, reloading those is not an option.

• I have windows vista but CD Key does not work so that was ok until now

  The President complied,

  I have the authentic drive of Microsoft Windows Vista, but now the product key does not work as it was working before and I use it for the past two years. Mr President, I am facing a very big problem my windows stops automatically after 30 days, please fix this.

  Hello ElumBuneri,

  As you stipulate that Windows stops working within 30 days, I'll assume that you have been unable to activate your copy of Windows. You receive the error message probably is "key to product already in use"? If this is the case, a simple phone call will solve the problem.

  See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Windows anytime upgrade key does not work

  After trying to upgrade my OS Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, I received the following message:

  
  
  "Enter a different upgrade key
  The upgrade key that you entered is for an edition of Windows that does not work with Windows Anytime Upgrade.  Enter a different key. »
  
  
  Just to be sure, I tried upgrading several times, but got the same message.
  Due to manufacturing defects, my laptop had to be repaired three times.  The motherboard has been replaced twice, the hard drive has been replaced three times and the processor once.  In fact, just a year last month, it still does not properly.  I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade [upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Home Premium] at the same time that I buy my laptop. Each time, except this time, I got to spend my OS.
  The operating system on my laptop is now Windows 7 Home Premium [SP1]
  Another thing, I bought this laptop until I moved to the United States to Asia.  If this may have something to do with the problem that I am facing?
  In any case, I hope you can help.  It is difficult to really buy a lemon manufacturing refuses to stand behind and now having this issue, where I can't upgrade the OS that I bought.
  I hope you can help.
  Thank you in advance.
