Product key missing so I can't even get into my office! Help, please

Hello.  I have a desktop computer using Windows XP Pro and when I tried to reinstall windows, asked me to provide the product key that I don't have.  I don't have my Windows XP Pro upgrade CD, but not the info product keys.  How to get out of it, or how and where can I get this particular information?  Please advise as soon as POSSIBLE!

Thank you

    You need a USB FLASH DRIVE, you can transfer the files from the Recovery Console Windows Vista from any other pc or laptop running Windows Vista, go to the backup and restore on the other computer and click on create a drive recovery system on the file menu. Once done, insert the usb key into the laptop, you want to fix, start by using selected peripheral USB device as MBR, follow these steps on screen, you can repair a corrupt Windows Vista it or restore to a previous restore point.

  • Windows 7 product key missing 3rd defined in the product key

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 Pro Windows 7 of the month last it worked fine for about 2 months, then W10 started having problems with my free Wi - Fi connection. so I did a clean install of windows 10 Pro, but now my Win7 old files disappeared as well as the product key. I remembered I have the sticker. I read the first, second, fourth and fifth set of keys, but the 3rd series is really hard to read. Is there anyway to get my key, so I can redo my laptop back to windows 7 and update, then back to windows 10?  Microsoft maintains my past product keys somewhere so in the case of these situations? Any help would be greatly appreciated.   I did the key finder, see plu key and belarc but all it shows is Windows 10pro key. The main reason for this is that I'm supposed to have Direct X 11 or higher and it won't install the update 11 or higher version...  Any help with this is also greatly appreciated as well.

    You shouldn't have the key if you had previously installed and activated Windows 10.

    During the installation of Windows 10, there is a selection of say, 'I don't have a key.

    Select it and proceed with the installation.  It must be activated automatically by the digital right, you received during the initial installation of Windows 10.

    Microsoft keeps no record of keys.  You must contact the manufacturer of the computer to see if they can provide any assistance in getting your Windows 7 key.

    DirectX11 is part of Windows 7 and DirectX12 is part of Windows 10, you don't need to install it.

    Help.

    I just got a refurbished Compaq 7700. It has Windows XP for drives of the refurbished computers.

    I try to boot from the hard drive (HD) and infinite loops, it is never past the initial home screen (black with blue status bar).

    I can't open the safe or the HD mode, it freezes at kmxstart.sys and then restarts again.

    I tried to boot from the disk and created Windows appears, then load the files, but then automatically tries to start Windows (without repair option). It then jumps to the BSoD with error code (after advice to verify sufficient disk space, to disable the driver identified, to change video cards, BIOS updates...)

    I got a new Philips 18.5 "monitor, an optical mouse and a keyboard with it.

    My guess is that the screen is the problem, because it was full again when I received and therefore not tested with the system before shipping. Not sure about the mouse and the keyboard.

    I tried a few options in the BIOS screen as well, but no dice.

    Hi Dominic,

    I understand that you are unable to respond to this thread and created a new thread.

    As restart the print spooler does not solve the problem, please reinstall the printer and then check if that helps.

    I don't really think it will work, but I have a vague memory of something like this caused by different versions of a file in Bridge and Photoshop. If you want to try it go in the bridge folder and find a file named Amtlib.dll and rename the original Amtlib.dll. Now, go to your Photoshop folder and find the file with the same name and copy it in the folder of the bridge. Now, try to see if your image will now open in Raw. If this does not work, go to the folder of the bridge, remove the Amtlib.dll and restore the original to its former name.
