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.

  • Cannot find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium

    I don't have the product key of Windows 7 Home Premium? Where can I find it?

    Original title: Charles 111

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    I would like to ask you:

    • Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?

    If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.

    If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.

    Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.

  • Accidentally, I installed my product key for Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional. Is there a possible way to activate Windows with this key?

    Activate Windows 7: Home Premium on professional product key - please help!

    Hello world

    I hope you can help me!
    I have a product key for Windows 7 Home Premium. I downloaded it online when I bought it so that I never received a disc to reformat. Someone at work gave me their CD to reformat.
    After you reformat and reinstall ALL my programs, I went to activate Windows 7 again. Guess what? Turns out that I used Windows 7 Professional to reformat.
    Really, I don't want to go through reformatting and reinstalling everything and don't even know if I'll be able to get my hands on a CD to reformat Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Is there anyway can I still activate my product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Professional? In any case I can exchange my Home Premium product key to a professional one? I love how my computer is currently configured and won't do anything else that just activate my legitimate version of Windows 7!
    Thank you all in advance for your time.
    Ramon

    The only way to do it would be to buy a license for Pro-

    Since you have already apparently a licnese to Home Premium, you could buy an upgrade, and then create a repair install with the new key.

    If you bought a full Pro license, you will be able simply to insert your new key and activate that.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    ------------------------

    If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.

  • 2 product keys for Windows 7 Home premium service pack for laptops

    I was told that on computers laptops there are two product keys for Windows 7, one is already activated by the manufacturer and one is on the bottom of the laptop on the sticker. Therefore, it is possible to use the one that is on the sticker, which is not one that is initially using the laptop?

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

    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.

    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

  • Product key for Windows 10 is not authentic

    * Original title: windows 7 ultimate

    I have a product key and the version is authentic. This os has worked flawlessly until the recent updates have been installed. Now I'm said that it is not genuine and will not authenticate. Is it just chose him the method of forcing people to use windows 10?

    Thomas,

    It is not a method to force you to 10 Windows.  But to say that is rather requires data "MGA results."

    Download & run the MGA tool.  When the results appear, click on the continue button & it turns into a key copy after a short break.  Click copy [ignore the error message that is displayed].  Paste the results directly in Notepad or another & save them to ensure that you can not lose the information.

    • Then go back on this forum & click change under your question
    • Change the title of the question - add no real message, MGA posted results to get your issue noticed by the people with the skills to diagnose results
    • Then paste the results in your question
    • Change the question to download, install & activate category using the drop-down lists under the box of your issue description [text]

    Add a brief history of the computer & operating system.  To avoid too much back & episodic, you must include this information in your question:

    1. The brand and model of the computer
    2. When & where you bought: new & directly from the computer manufacturer, new & from a manufacturer of small scale computer, pre-owned, refurbished,...
    3. What OS was already preinstalled when you bought it
    4. What further facilities of the BONE [replacements & upgrades] have you done since
    5. Where you bought your OS [replacements & updates] facilities
    6. What type of license [OEM / System Builder or retail] you believe that the pre-installed OS & the following facilities OS [replacements & updates]
    7. What, if any, actions that you have taken to activate in the past to achieve or restore activation
    8. What [s] certificate of authenticity ['COA'] you have on the computer itself, or even provided with the following facilities [replacements & upgrades] OS - COA is the label with the product key of Windows 7 on it but do not reveal the product key itself online [the excerpt shown in the MGA results you post is correct] Note that many laptops have the certificate of authenticity within the battery compartment.
    9. What editions of Windows 7 {Starter, Home Premium, professional, full edition} are indicated on the certificate of authenticity [s].
    10. Windows 7 edition identified in the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], System
    11. What activation status is indicated in the lower part of the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], System

    13. What indication do you have that your Windows is not genuine?
    14. You have already done to try to solve the current problem
    • Please note that the people who will try to help you maybe in a different time zone.  Display of all the information in your original question can avoid delays based on the current time zone [someone asked what your model of computer during their day, you don't see the question until the next day, they do not see your response until their next day - 3 days might therefore have passed without any progress].
    • Display of all the information in your original question also establishes a single point of reference so that people who are trying to help you can get all the information they need in one place.  It also helps to avoid delays.
