  I bought a new computer dell laptop and you want to install windows 8 again. It came with Windows 8 Core with is the unique language of 64-bit

  I downloaded the windows Upgrade Wizard 8.

  Then I discovered my product key with keyfinder.

  I ran the upgrade wizard then copied the product key and it shows the message - this product key cannot be used to install a version of windows 8

  I ran windows Update and it allowed me to download the update, which means my Windows 8 is authentic then why I am not able to install windows 8.

  I'll be able to install the kernel of windows 8 with Windows 8 iso pro?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  Windows 8 that came with your PC is OEM type license and is one you want to install the retail type license. Two licenses have different installation keys, so commercial version will not accept EM key and vice versa.
  In addition, Windows 8 Pro key is different from Windows 8 "Core" key. You may not use the button either.

  Hello

  The product key you use to install could be a volume license key, you can contact your network administrator to download the iso from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and install the W8. The W8 will be key during the installation or is installed with the default key that will work for 30 days. If it is installed with a default key, you can change the product key with the suite of measures

  -Run as administrator command line
  -Enter the following command

  slmgr.vbs-ipk TYPE-YOUR-KEY-RIGHT-HERE
  -Now go to the properties of your computer and click on activate Windows.

  She's... You are finished with the activation of new volume Windows8 license.

• Windows 7 Professional 64 bit product key cannot be used?

  Well, I bought a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit and I try to update my PC after installing on the new PC to my father that I built for him. When I installed it on my gaming PC, everything was fine, but now I'm doing it on my work PC and it comes up saying that the key cannot be used on this computer! What! And yes the key that I use IS the one that came with my Windows software. It is NOT for the office, but for Windows 7! What is the PROBLEM! When I bought this copy of Windows I wanted to use it on several PC in our House. Product key should work whenever I use it! I paid for this thing, and the key is legitimate! And I won't go to the table more of 100 to 200 dollars for ANOTHER copy of windows just if I have a product key to be used; It's ridiculous!

  you may not use the software on any other computer.

  You agreed to the end user license agreement when you install. André has repeated the first part of the above agreement. Whether you like it or not, these are the conditions of the license. You cannot use the same key on multiple computers.

• Receive error message of this serial key cannot be used for Windows 7

  So bought windows 7 and is going to use it on my new computer but I just continue to get a message that my serial key cannot be used. I know that my brothers computer is running the same key, but I remember hearing somewhere that you can do both computers on the standard windows 7 licenses. How can I fix it?

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• When I try to install Firefox, I get an error "could not open the output file. I used Firefox before and it doesn't work anymore, so I uninstalled. Cannot re - install now.

  When I try to install Firefox, I get an error "could not open the output file. I used Firefox before and it doesn't work anymore, so I uninstalled. Cannot re - install now.

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  I tried to download firefox.

  User Agent

  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; AntivirXP08; GTB6.3; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; MS - RTC LM 8)

  When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

  When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

  If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties. The image should look like the attached picture (except that mine is in Danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it don't look like this, would you please describe the content or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File Type" - it must be 'program '. If this isn't the case, will have to focus on what could be the problem here.

  A bit off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit outdated (IE 6, where the current version is IE 8), so I highly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system up to date. Is it as a society (such as a thin client Terminal Server computer) system, this is not possible, and most likely, your system administrator will have to help you.

  If you see the lock of Activation screen after update your iOS device, you want to try the following:

  -Restart your iOS device and try to connect again.

  -Visit appleid.apple.com and log in to ensure that your password is correct.  If you change something here, only to change your password.  Try to connect again on the iPhone.

  -Connect on iTunes on a computer and put your Apple ID and password when it prompts you (as it did on your iOS device).

  -ICloud.com check in the settings.  If you see your iOS device listed, remove account (do not erase or hit lost mode). Restart your device and try to reconfigure.

  -These measures should solve most of the problems.  For someone else, you will need to contact Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE or getsupport.apple.com).

• G780 wireless doesn't work anymore; the networks are but cannot connect

  I have a G780 bought earlier this year. It came with Windows 8, which I still use. Everything was working fine until today. All of a sudden I can't connect to my wireless network (I have a router that can have a 'network of comments' in addition to normal and I can not connect to one of these). I had been fiddling with the settings last night, but everything was working well. I can connect with other devices, so I know that the networks work.

  Networks appear in the list of available networks, but every time I try and connect it just doesn't work. To make sure that I wasn't just typing the wrong passwords I tried to disable all security on one of the networks (so it was a totally open network without password), and the laptop still unable to connect. I tried to reboot the router wireless, by restarting the computer, update the driver for the wireless card, uninstall the drivers and reinstall them, activation and deactivation of the wireless card, by unchecking the option to disable card wireless to save energy and last computer ditch effort that I even did this "Refresh" of Windows 8 option that uninstalls all programs you install and resets the default options. Which included also to uninstall my antivirus program, so I tried to connect without that too. Nothing has made any difference.

  Edited to add that I also downloaded and ran the diagnostic tool on the Lenovo site for my laptop and the version of Windows for wireless network problems and it did not show anything.

  I'd appreciate really no indication as to what to do next. I'm good enough at the end of my mind with this.

  It's the weirdest thing ever. I decided to give it a try once again just for the heck of it and like magic it works all of a sudden. I can now connect to two networks very well. I have nothing after my last try yesterday evening except put the computer into hibernation... I don't know how it works now, but I appreciate the help! I'll create a restore right now, just in case. Thanks for your replies!
