product key for windows ativate

I lost my product key to activate windows, is it possible to get another free?

If the computer did not form or you do not reinstall Windows 7, try to find the product key:

Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features

If you don't format or reinstall Windows 7, then Microsoft recommends that you only buy a new product key.

You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    I lost my product key for windows 7 Home premium. Stupidly I did not take off the sticker to put on your computer for the same reason. I installed again but, now, the activation delay is in place and I do not know how to find my key.

    Product key - where to find the product key
     
    If you bought a computer with Windows preinstalled would a certificate of authenticity (COA) sticker somewhere on your computer. It will say what version of Windows you have and will also have an alphanumeric code at 25 on it - this is your product key. If it is not on your computer look in your documents or on any case of CD/DVD that was included with the computer.
     
    If you purchased Windows 7, it should be included in the retail box.
     
    If you purchased Windows 7 online and downloaded that the key should be sent to you by e-mail.

    To find out which product keys are used:

    Summary

    If you have multiple Windows licenses and have installed but don't know which one is in use, use the following instructions to double check.

    Details

    Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

    User level: beginner to Expert

    If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

    Click Start, type: cmd

    Press enter on your keyboard

    At the command prompt, type the following command:

    slmgr - dli


    Press enter on your keyboard

    A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

    For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:


    Press the Windows key + X

    Click on command prompt

    Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: CMD

    Press enter on your keyboard

    need to fine product key for windows 7

    Hello Butterflylove1983,

    Give you specific help, to a more detailed description of the problem and the question you have.

    Some questions that you can answer to help out are:

    1. what version of Windows 7 are you running?
    2 what is an OEM version that came with your computer, or a retail version that you bought?  (or a beta version)
    3. is your enabled copy?
    4. you are trying to locate the key that you used to activate Windows 7? Or you try to get a key, so you can activate Windows 7?

    If you have already activated and used a key, you can download a product such as Belarc Advisor and run it to extract the key.  However, if you have installed Windows 7 and do not use a key, you will need to purchase a license in order to activate it.  This can be done through computer vendors such as newegg.com or amazon.com, or even by the Web sites online.

    If you are looking for a 'free' or 'key to crack', then you come to the wrong place to ask.  Since it is a Microsoft forum, noone in their right mind will tell you where to look for pirated keys or ways around the keys.

    Hope that this help give you to a more detailed explanation of your problem and have a nice day :)
    Patrick.
