This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  Hello

  How you obtained this version of Windows 7?

  If it came preinstalled on a new computer, it would take a COA (certificate of authenticity) sticker somewhere on the computer case. This will contain the digit 25, alphanumeric, product key.

  If you purchased Windows 7 separately, the product key will be on a card that was included in the box with the installation DVD.

  Let us know.

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista:

  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 F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• I have a product key for a pre-installed version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, now I need an ISO standard for installation in a virtual machine

  Hello

  I bought a refurbished machine that came with Win 7 Pro pre-installed. I erased the HARD drive. Completely. Nothing more.

  I don't want Win 7 installed on the drive, but I need an ISO to install it in a virtual machine for research reasons.

  I tried to download the ISO of http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery, but when I gave the product key, I got a response that I should turn to the vendor of the computer and that is preloaded.

  When I did and asked an ISO, they told me to download from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery. This seems to be the only source for Windows ISOs left in the world.

  So, I run long in circles... infinte loop... :-(

  How can I solve this misery?

  Thanks for the replies!

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. ISO file which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options?

  See the article for more details: how: what are my options for getting Windows 7 reinstall media?

• Looking for a product key for a clean install of Windows 7 on a material with a digital product key (DPK)?

  My usual corporate scenario when configuring new hardware is to receive the material, and then replace the image of stock with an image customized using MDT. After installation I change the product key in the product key valid for this hardware/operating system and then activate.

  My most recent material (Lenovo Thinkpad of T430 (2342-6FU)) comes pre-installed with Windows 7, but allows the upgrade to Windows 8. In line with new hardware in Windows 8, there is no certificate of authenticity (COA) on the material, or in the documentation. The product key is in the form of a digital product (DPK) in the UEFI WOOD key.

  My question is its form the simplest is, "where can I get access to a product key for Windows 7 given this scenario?" He has been on the COA, now it is not.

  I think that it is a valid usage scenario. I bought the license and install a custom image with the same bits as I have a license. I think I understand that if I install Windows 8, it would be aware of the DPK and active accordingly, but Windows 7, AFAIK, is unaware of the DPK and requires a key of product entry manually in a way any.

  Use a locator product keys to retrieve the product key.
