  Hi all

When I got my hands on the machine, windows was still not enabled surprisingly. I called the customer service dell Sunday, who confirmed that it was purchased in the Gulf and it is pre-installed windows machine 8. The Executive of the customer asked me to call Monday for anywhere between 09:00 and 18:00 to get the product key.  When I asked my friend about activation, it was completely dropped on activation or reinstallation of windows 8 on top of pre-installed windows 8 OS. I guess he bought the machine pre installed and active windows 8, but somehow, through someone, windows has been reinstalled and the resettlement process could not brought the product key from the BIOS.

  Now, as I had fun at hand, because it is Sunday, I searched a few tools retrieve the product key from the BIOS, and I was finally able to get their hands on the product key of my machine, but has not managed to activate my windows using command prompt (using slmgr slui.exe) and user interface.

  Hello

  I think that Windows Vista, which is installed on a computer, is determined only for this computer and cannot be used for another computer.

  If you want to upgrade your second computer with Windows XP in Windows Vista, you must purchase another license, which include a new product key.

See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• Use the product key OEM with Windows Vista fresh install

  Hello. I got my Acer Aspire 5517 laptop for my birthday a few years ago (with Vista pre-installed). A genuine OEM product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. How can I use it with a new installation? Or can I somehow get an ISO or CD OEM Microsoft's file, or download it online somehow? Please don't tell me to upgrade to Windows 7, as I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend right now. Thank you!
