• Problem with the product key of windows 8

  I have problem with my product key of victory 8. I installed it in front of my laptop and it is normal until something goes wrong with my laptop. I decided to reinstall my win 8, and when I put the product key, it does not work. What should I do?

  (1) If you encounter problems with activation, try to reboot / restart your PC a couple of times.
  (2) if it is a new installation of Windows 8 / 8.1 try options refresh or Reset.
  If the two options above do not solve the problem of activation, then try activating the phone.

  How to activate Windows 8 by phone

  Press the Windows key + x then click Run, then type: slui.exe 4
  (Another method: press Windows + r and then type: slui.exe 4)

  Then press the ENTER"" key.

  Select your "country" in the list.

  Choose the option "activate phone".

  Stay on the phone * do not select/press any option * and wait for a person to help you.

• Can not activate Win 8 - reports of problems with the product key

  Hi all

  I have just downloaded 8 Win and tried to upgrade my existing Win 7 Home Premium VM, which I run on VMWare Fusion 5.0.1 on my Intel MacBook Pro 2009. I wasn't able to do the upgrade in place - the installer told me that it was not possible to run Win 8 on this machine. Instead, I created a. ISO file and used to install Win 8 in a new virtual machine. Everything works fine, but I can't activate Win 8. The error message tells me that "something is wrong with the product key" even if I could install Win 8 with the same fine product key.

  I called various hotlines MS today but don't have anything got no solid advice. Am I the only one who experience this issue? Is there something I need to pay attention during installation of the virtual machine to win 8? Is it possible to install a fresh VM with a key product upgrade in the first place? I would appreciate any information you might have on this subject.

  Thank you in advance and Bravo,

  Georg

How can I install the product key windows 10? can install windows 10 without a product key. Please help me with the question about 10 windows product key and the installation process of windows 10

  Things you should know:

  • A Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key cannot Activate Windows 10. Windows 10 uses its own unique product key.
    
  • By default, the versions of Windows 10 are previously entered, which means, you don't have to enter a product key and should not be invited to enter one as long as you upgraded a activated License of Windows 7 or Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows or Windows 10 Preview build.
     
  • If you perform a clean installation on the first attempt, you will have to start from an activated installation of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.
    
  • If you are prompted to enter a product key, click on Do this later and give it a few days, 10 Windows will be activated automatically.
    
  • Activation servers may be overwhelmed at the time due to the volume of updates, so give it some time if you get an error of the type ()0XC004E003, 0x8007000D, 0x8007232b or 0x8007007B) 10 Windows will activate eventually as long as you upgrade by using the appropriate method.
    
  • It does not need to know your product key Windows 10, read "Understanding Product Activation in Windows 10:

  Figure 10 Windows Product Activation:

  In previous versions of Windows, when you have installed a version upgrade of Windows, if you want to reinstall the upgrade version, you had first reinstall permissible version where you upgraded, reactivate, then upgrade again and reactivate again.

  With Windows 10, this is no longer the case. Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 and enable, you can simply create a bootable copy on DVD or USB and reinstall all Windows 10 without having to reinstall the release candidate and it automatically reactivates.

  Quote:

  "10 keys Windows handles differently. When you migrate to Windows 10 via Windows Update to 8.1 Windows or Windows 7, the process saves your eligible hardware and OS computer with a Microsoft Product Activation Server. The device is considered as a device Windows 10.

  "Thereafter every time you re-install (or clean install) installation check in with these servers, concludes the unique installation ID and product validation.

  I've updated since an activated copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, then I decided to reinstall using either the. ISO file, reset the player's PC or recovery, but I am prompted to enter a product key:

• Sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable

  Hello Toshiba Help Center

  Please help me solve this problem

  Three years ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba with Windows Vista preinstalled. I also received a DVD with her recovery. I now want to reinstall Windows and completely format the hard drive - however, the sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable. So what I did... I formatted my laptop for windows 7 and after a few months, I want to recover my product key and install windows vista pre - with the original product key that sound now
  unreadable...

  Is it possible to get it back by, my laptop series No, or...
  Best regards, TOSHIBA
  IM bluebird.jeff

  Hello, Jeff

  At first, I must say that it is not toshiba Help Center, but user forum created by Toshiba, so if you wait for the response from Toshiba people here you are in the wrong place.
  In any case, in this forum, you can pick up some very useful information and a lot of people here can help you with your problems.

  Return to described the issue.
  Unfortunately you do not understand how it works with the product key and Windows Setup, so I'll try to help you with this.
  Each computer toshiba laptop comes with preinstalled operating system (recovery image) and the product key at the bottom of your laptop belongs to this version. With other words: when you buy the new laptop, you have to pay for hardware, operating system and a license for this preinstalled OS. Product key at the bottom is not a kind of universal product key and cannot be used for activation of another version of Windows.

  You can use the delivered Toshiba recovery disc that contains mage replicated several times and each time you will have activated the operating system. When you use the Microsoft disk for the installation of the OS you must have valid product key which belongs to this particular version.

  In your case product key is for Vista, and you cannot use it for Win7 activation. This product key is... unnecessary.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• How identify which windows Vista worm was installed with the product key

  I have a laptop that someone put windows XP on it. It came factory thew with Windows Vista and has the product key on the bottom of the laptop. But I don't know which Ver of Vista the key code to go with. I want to get the right NVA and install it. Is there a way to know which version of windows Vista to go popular with the product key code.

  Thank you

  Mike

  You can't say the product key.  If you use an Installation of Vista genuine disc it will install its own version to know the product key when you are prompted to enter (all versions of the same size of the bit are included on the authentic disc).

  I hope this helps.

  You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

  If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

  It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

• I would like to know how to re - install windows on a laptop with the product key on the back of the laptop.

  install windows with the product key

  someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.

  or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.

  I thank you for your time and have a good day.

  If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition.  If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation.  At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.

  If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.

• My Hp Pavilion laptop 2244sa g6 does not come with the product key for windows8. Is this normal?

  Hello

  My Hp Pavilion laptop 2244sa g6 does not come with the product key for windows8. Is this normal? I can't see it anywhere, should I worry?

  Some laptops, like my Envy 17-3002ea loan, have the certificate of authenticity Windows hidden in the compartment where the hard drive and the battery are.  First try.

  Other portable latest and which may include yours, have the Windows license key encrypted in the BIOS.  There is a thread on the Microsoft communities that verifies that. The thread is worth reading.
