Hello

The product key on a computer that has Windows 8 pre - install is embedded in the BIOS of the motherboard. Is no longer a sticker with the product key.

When you upgrade to the final version of the free Windows 8.1, activation will be automatic, and use the onboard product key.

    I have an A135-S4427 which came with Windows Vista.
    As I did not like the vista I formatted and installed Windows Xp Professional with SP2 and got all the drivers working.
    All I need now is a product key for activation of windows. I tried to use the key which is at the bottom of my laptop... but did not work.

    Any help please?
    I appreciate any help on this...

    Thank you

    The product key on the bottom of your laptop is specific to the OEM of VISTA that came bundled with your noteook version. If you have installed a different operating system, then you must use the product key provided with the operating system that you have installed. It will be normally provided in the CD itself or on the packaging.

  • Product key lost for my computer toshiba laptop

    I need to reload the windows vista, but I lost my product key for my computer toshiba laptop.
    Does anyone know if I can get a replacement and that I have to pay.

    Hello

    You could not lost the product key because the recovery disk is already activated.
    So you n t need any key to install the OS by using the recovery disk.

    But if you have lost the recovery disc then you can order it from here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    But it s not free, you will have to pay a small fee.

  • The family windows vista product key premium you typed is invalid for activation.

    Hey guys, I recently restored my computer toshiba laptop to factory settings and at the end of the factory restore it takes me to the screen too activate my windows vista. It gives me the option to activate windows now or wait 15 seconds and activate later. So, obviously, I click on activate now, but I get an error that says: "the windows vista home premium product key you typed is invalid for activation." So o get three options that are 1. Buy a new product online, 2 key. Type a different product key, 3. Contact toshiba to help solve this problem. I know that the product key was under my laptop, but the problem is the product key is faded and I can read is no longer the key. I also contacted toshiba to see if they keep records, but they did not. Any suggestions?

    Well; Toshiba was right in saying that it was the way in which the recovery Partition and drives to work.

    All we can suggest is to use Microsoft phone activation method; do not follow the instructions of the car, but brace yourself for a real person explain your problem to.

    I lost two numbers of the product key sticker under my toshiba laptop! How can I restore it

    Hello

    Contact toshiba and ask them to send you recovery disks vista to reinstall the operating system 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

    partition disk and restore from recovery is a recovery from the manufacturer software and normally does not require a product key of your hand entry

    Contact Toshiba and ask about it

    The starting point for all Toshiba Recovery option is the Toshiba Acclaim self-service page, which includes a link to recovery media .

    If your recovery partition is intact, you can get detailed instructions of two separate pages:

    • To restore the original configuration of Windows using the Toshiba Recovery Wizard, follow the instructions of the support Bulletin 98082971.
    • To use the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator utility to create your own reinstallation disks, see support Bulletin 98082984.

    Hi all
    I use Satellite A300 laptop computer with Vista preinstalled OS.

    Due to a virus problem my system got crashed upward... so need to reinstall the OS... but my VISTA key at the bottom of my laptop is not visible now... is there a way to get my product as iam key still in warranty period...
    Thanks for the help in advance

    Suneel.

    Hello!

    If reinstalling Vista using a Microsoft installation disc you n t need this product key on the underside of the laptop. This key belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used with a version of Vista that you can buy in a normal store of the computer. This is why you must use the product key that comes with the version of Vista.
    OEM versions are available for manufactured goods.

    If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk you can order directly into a new Toshiba. Akuma already post the link to the workshop.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L500D - invalid Windows 7 product key

    Dear experts,

I use the Windows 7 image that came with his laptop computer in the file temp on C. I entered the product key on the label at the bottom of the machine.

    Hello

    The product key on the lower side of your laptop belongs to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba. This key peut t be used with Windows 7 normal disks, because it touches s an OEM. If you install Windows 7 on a normal Microsoft disk, you should use the key supplied with the disc.

  • I need windows 8.1 product key for my Satellite C50-A483

    Hello

    I am trying to upgrade my windows 8.1 to win 10 (Toshiba Satellite C50-A483) and when I contact Microsoft they asked me about product key for my victory 8.1. I can't find.

    It s from integrated in my laptop from the factory.
    Where can I get the product key for my windows?
    I have another laptop (computer hp laptop)
    The product key is labeled in the back of my laptop

    For the original version of OS that you got with your laptop, you don't need key product for activation. Whenever you install original recovery image Windows is automatically activated.

    In the past product key label was placed on the bottom of the laptop. New model do not have it.
    Unfortunately you can not do more. Valid product key is part of the original image recovery only and cannot be used for any other activation.

  • Satellite C660-1R1 - recover Windows 7 product key

    Dear Toshiba support,

    My Toshiba Satellite C660-1R1 bought in 2011. By the end of 2013, the original HARD drive died and I replaced it with an SSD. That said, I can't start the recovery with the original Windows 7 installation partition, or I can retrieve the product key from the registry. In addition, the sticker of the product key on the back of the laptop is almost unreadable. I read only a few letters.

    Is it possible for the support of Toshiba recover my Windows 7 Home product key based on the serial number and other details? I can send the whole of the back of my laptop with two stickers to the evidence.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    When you bought your laptop you have been assigned to evaluate office m over 3 months, it was a trial version. Now, it should be bought if you want to use again. You can use Open Office:

    http://www.OpenOffice.org/

    OpenOffice is a suite of open source leader for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers.

    Finally and above all the product key on the lower side of your laptop belongs to the pre-installed Windows version and has nothing to do with Toshiba.
