New install W7 X100e: where is my product key?

In preparing to do a fresh install of Windows 7, I noticed that there is no sticker on the outside of the laptop that contains my Windows product key.  Neither the laptop shipping box contains, as far as I can see.

Where is my key?  Using a locator key hold the only painting by Magic Jellybean, or it would produce just a key generic Lenovo that I can't use in a relocation?

In my view, it should be behind the battery (see the Manual of Maintenance of equipment - search COSTS).

    We have installed Office 2010 on a system that died & want to move the software for my new system.  How to reactivate my product key Code

    Assuming that you had bought a copy of the sale at retail of Office 2010 (i.e., it not was not preinstalled by the manufacturer of the computer or downloaded and installed using a "product key card"), just install it on the new system and turn on normally.  In some cases, you may use telephone activation and explain the circumstances (i.e., the old computer is dead).

    Microsoft Office is not a step "off authorizes" as some other apps (Adobe comes to mind).

  • Where is the product key?

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    Hello

    A question any longer, with material that could be to help others.

    My HP Pavilion (2013) brand new 23-b010ez a pre-installed MS Windows 8 version 6.2.9200.
    Comments on this page to the effect of "the old fashioned useless, full of 25-digit product key" are not correct.
    That means installed "Windows Help and Support" of my computer for example on the product key?
    I quote:
    "It's a 25 numbers used to activate Windows.
    -"the product key must be in the box that came with the Windows DVD come in French - or.
    -"[product key] should be in an e-mail that shows that you have purchased Windows."
    "It's a good idea to save a copy of your product key for your records in case you need to reinstall Windows."
    I had no system of Windows (recovery) DVD on purchase. It came pre-installed.
    I had no email with a product code. I got a confirmation of my Windows account, I was forced to sign in the first starting up my computer and a confirmation email of authorization with a verification for my Microsoft Account code.
    But no code produced by email (they wouldn't email defeats in any case - security).
    And I agree keep an external copy of the product key. Apparently (according to the "Windows Help and Support information" provided on my new computer I HAVE the product code for reinstalling Windows.)
    I found also asks me to tap into it, if I try to buy windows to another computer, or to add functionality to my edition of Windows from here: configuration\systeme and security\activation center\windows of activation using these built-in control functions. In both places, I wonder to enter the complete 25 digit product code. No other solution. Can't tell him to go find the BIOS, on the contrary!
    So far, what I've found and where?
    I tried to find the product key, without success. In "Windows Activation" to control configuration\systeme and center\windows security\activation, I found the last 5 digits (or are they the first?) and my activation date. In "System information" control configuration\systeme and security\system, less listed under the title 'Activation of Windows', I find my windows is activated and a "product ID 20 code numbers. What is the rest of the key complete product which is now part of BIOS, as shown above? It would be good to know.
    Why do I need to enter the product key?
    Well because reinstallin Windows, adding additional features (regardless of who it) and buy another copy Windows to another machine.
    So, where is the product key - or come by it?
    I don't have confidence now and seen the galley do to get under pressure once I have to do a reinstall of Windows on my new computer.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.
    Like you said windows 8 has been preinstalled on your computer. We would like to tell you that the product key will not need to be included as it uses the product by the manufacturer key which is encrypted in BIOS.

    How to find the product key?

    1. open the original OEM software package; the product key will be printed on a sticker located somewhere on the case. Some software have the sticker on the back; others will have it inside the case.

    2. review the case of your computer for an OEM product label; This is common for computers produced by major retailers operating under Windows.

    3. open the manual supplied with the software; OEM key are printed on the inside cover, or inside the back cover first. Sometimes the key will be printed on a loose sheet back in the manual.

    4. communicate with the computer retailer that provided the software; retailers often keep records of keys to product belonging to their customers, in the case where the keys are lost.

    Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you.

  • Can I download and install Windows 7 pro with a product key and the USB (No .iso or CD/DVD)

    So my hard drive failed, Dell can replace it but none of the software.  I have OEM Windows 7 pro and Office 2010 versions, which means that I (somewhere) product keys but not record.  Maybe Dell recover disk will work, but it's 7000 mile more away.  I've seen links to download install.

  • New HDD installed - Windows constantly asking for the product key

    HARD drive broke down, so I got a new HARD drive installed in the workshop for repairs a few months ago. Everything was fine until recently when Windows keeps always ask the product key to activate Windows. It is said that the license expires Dec. 27.
    Do you know where to find this key?

    If your laptop has Windows 8 or higher, Microsoft codes the license on the hard drive rather than put a sticker on the base. Sounds like the repair people could have used a dubious copy to reinstall it on the new hard drive. Microsoft may allow you to report it as pirate software, but I'm not sure they'll give you a free copy. The other alternative is to contact ToshIba to buy a complete set of recovery disks, or take it back to the shop.

    Hello

    Ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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

    Acer 5600u 64-bit preinstalled windows 8, I know it is stored in the UEFI bios, but how do I get the 25-digit product key. Key recovery software does not work, so I hope someone out there can help you.

  • Have a computer dell laptop. replaced the hard drive; tried to install my Windows XP and my product key is not accepted. I was wondering why and how do to accomplish this task.

    My dell laptop had the hard drive replaced.  My son, who knows computers, installed the new hard drive.  Then he tried to install my Windows XP Professional software - when it came time to put the product key #, it was not accepted.  It's authentic.  The product key is: * removed *.

    There no mention of this issue in section outages or other information provided in the booklet provided.  Can you help me with this problem?

    The license key and product type must match (XP Home vs XP Pro;)  (and OEM license vs the retail license).  If it's a Dell computer and you get the product key from a sticker on the case, then there is likely a version of Windows XP OEM this product key.  If you install Windows XP from a retail installation disk, then the types of licenses will not match.  You will need to use the license that accompanies the retail installation disc or you will need to contact Dell for an OEM installation disc to go with the license on your sticker case.
