Product key recovery Windows 8

In an attempt to dual-boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu, I partitioned with too much space to think about her and accidentally erased all my computer Windows Partitions. I got a file Iso of Windows 8 and on the Setup, he invites me for a product key. I understand that the product key is encrypted on the motherboard. I was wondering if he could be sent to me. I have connected to windows 8 for several months before I do AND have a dell service tag sticker windows 8 on my computer, just for you I know I'm a rightful owner. Also, my laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15-3520.

Windows 8 came preinstalled on the computer, but it did come with a new installation disc. I'll see about ordering a Dell because it is still under warranty.

Then, almost certainly, it came with a recovery instead of a partition
Windows installation DVD. Read the instructions supplied with the
computer to find out how to use it, or look on the manufacturer's web
site.
The computer came with instructions on how to burn this partition
on a DVD, so you would be left no nothing if the drive has crashed.
This should have been the first thing you did when you got the
computer.

  • Product key recovery Windows 8.1 AFTER replacement of the operating system

    Hello

    I was wondering if there is any way out of this pickle.

    I had problems with my pc (mainly the printer spooler errors) of a virus so I decided to do a system restore. Only problem was that I had the pc built for me and the person has used a downloaded Windows 8.1 version (no cd). When I went to restore the operating system he said I was "missing data". As I had no cd to I found a so-called work around where you use the missing data from one version of windows business to fill the gaps and it should allow me to restore the version I had (8.1 regular).

    Well low and behold, I load my windows and it is has been replaced by this...

    So I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 using the ISO and the extraction of the key with Magic Jellybean, but, of course, the key had been crushed as well with this useless key.

    I called Microsoft to see if they could recover my OLD key that has written more because I was signing on my account when I logged in while I had my version 8.1 ordinary and download of updates. The people at the other end doesn't seem to understand what I was talking and kept transfer me different places when they are confused as to what I was asking (the language barrier I guess).

    ALL I NEED IS MY OLD RETURN KEY! If not hidden on my computer somewhere so how to get Microsoft to please look into this also. I even signed up for Windows 10 deployment on my 8.1 original.

    Thanks in advance

    You can't use the product key for Vista to install another operating system.

    Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

    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.

    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.

    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

  • Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7?

    Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7? Or my Windows 10 will work?

    Your license is the product key.

    You don't need to buy a license if you already have a product key.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    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. File ISO in Digital River, 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 to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • Can I re-use the product key of Windows 7 on my machine after downgrading?

    Someone gave me a desktop computer with the original Windows 7 which has been downgraded to XP. I used it until the end of Windows XP support. My question is can I reuse the product key of Windows 7 on the machine and put Windows 7 on? Activation will fail and I would put Windows 7 for nothing?

    It works perfectly, yes you can do it.  But to put Windows 7 on it, you will need to use either

    (A) the original Windows 7 OEM disc provided with this computer

    or

    (B) recovery partition integrated guidelines of the manufacturer to restore the original Windows 7 OS

    --

    The reason is that the product key on the computer is linked to this kind of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer, like Dell or Acer).  If you cannot use any Windows 7 CD-ROM drive with this code. It must be the disk or installer that came with this code.

  • Aspire E1 - 572 - original product key preinstalled Windows 8


    I bought my Acer Aspire E1-572 in March 2014 with a Windows 8 preinstalled. I upgraded to 8.1, then Windows 10. Then a friend noticed my laptop computer running very slow and proposed to create a separate partition for all my personal files. He wiped everything clean without realizing that preinstalled Windows does not come with a label old-fashioned of the product key for Windows, so now, I have a version of Windows 10 which cannot be activated. The seller referred me to Microsoft, they referred me to Acer, but... I am out of warranty. I'm afraid to try to refresh my laptop because there is no previous version of Windows 8 on left to return to. Pleeeaaaaase HELP!
