Question about product key Windows XP Pro on Satellite A135-S4427

I have an A135-S4427 which came with Windows Vista.
As I did not like the vista I formatted and installed Windows Xp Professional with SP2 and got all the drivers working.
All I need now is a product key for activation of windows. I tried to use the key which is at the bottom of my laptop... but did not work.

Any help please?
I appreciate any help on this...

Thank you

HI penny,

The product key on the bottom of your laptop is specific to the OEM of VISTA that came bundled with your noteook version. If you have installed a different operating system, then you must use the product key provided with the operating system that you have installed. It will be normally provided in the CD itself or on the packaging.

Kind regards

  • Retrieve the product key Windows 7 Pro when the laptop has been restored to Windows Vista

My laptop has been improved by Windows Vista Edition Fujitsu Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional during a previous repair. How one don't get the product key for Windows 7 Professional in this case? Should I inform Microsoft of my laptop series No. to recover the product key of Windows 7 Professional? If so, then how do then? Thank you very much for your quick response.

    If the machine has been 'improved' during a repair - then they must have attached the relevant sticker of COA or PoL card to the machine.

    If they don't, and you do not specifically for the upgrade, then it has never been a valid upgrade.

    Did I forget something?
    Hope someone can help me here.

    Make sure that you are not copying and pasting in the product key.

    Enter the product key manually and avoid entering dashes (hyphens), those who will be filled automatically.

    Avoid pressing the space bar when you enter the product key.

  • Question about product key for Win7 and upgrade Win8

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I got the impression that it is a key to general product on the back of most mobile phones HYF8J-CVRMY-CM74G-RPHKF-*.

    If I bought the victory 8 update and it activated on my * office * (assuming I installed win7 using this key) what does that mean? Since it is a General key on many laptops.

    This means that I am legally eligible to upgrade?

    Hello

    Above all, the key of Win 7 you can find on the lower part belongs to the preinstalled image.
    It is the key of Win 7. Your Windows 7 system has already been activated by default

    Now to win 8 upgrade:
    Visit this page to upgrade Toshiba EU win 8 for details:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/Windows8-message

    The upgrade to win 8 is available if you purchased a PC preloaded with genuine Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, professional or ultimate edition between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013.

    If your laptop is NOT bought between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013, you will not be able to move from Win 7 to 8 Win, but you can buy the full version of Win 8.

    IM bluebird.jeff

    Hello, Jeff

    At first, I must say that it is not toshiba Help Center, but user forum created by Toshiba, so if you wait for the response from Toshiba people here you are in the wrong place.
    In any case, in this forum, you can pick up some very useful information and a lot of people here can help you with your problems.

    Return to described the issue.
    Unfortunately you do not understand how it works with the product key and Windows Setup, so I'll try to help you with this.
    Each computer toshiba laptop comes with preinstalled operating system (recovery image) and the product key at the bottom of your laptop belongs to this version. With other words: when you buy the new laptop, you have to pay for hardware, operating system and a license for this preinstalled OS. Product key at the bottom is not a kind of universal product key and cannot be used for activation of another version of Windows.

    You can use the delivered Toshiba recovery disc that contains mage replicated several times and each time you will have activated the operating system. When you use the Microsoft disk for the installation of the OS you must have valid product key which belongs to this particular version.

    In your case product key is for Vista, and you cannot use it for Win7 activation. This product key is... unnecessary.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Need to find the original product key Windows 8 to reactivate the laptop!

    Hello

    I bought the laptop with Win 8 pre - install a few months back. Today, I decided to try to install Windows Media Center, and so after a bit of research I was directed to a Web page that said looking for 'add features' on the sidebar to win 8. She provided a cd key too that the requested Web site would be to activate Windows 8 Pro (including the media) for 90 days as a trial.

    To put in this new product key in and restart the computer, I now get the error code: 0xC004F074 on the Activation of Windows program, but also a watermark at the bottom that says: "activate Windows, go into settings of PC to activate Windows.

    The trial of course did not work and the product key is not valid. I would go back to the use of the product key of Windows 8 that came with the laptop, but I don't have the box of the laptop and there is no sticker on the bottom with the windows key on it 8. I tried a cd key recovery program, but the only key that appears is invalid I put in today, and not the key ive used since the first day.

    I live in the United Kingdom, but the laptop was purchased in a store online in America.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Its likely that your computer came with Windows 8 and not Windows 8 Pro. You cannot add a key Windows 8 Pro Pack or Media Center unless you bought. There is no option available test.

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    My recommendation would be to restore your computer to its factory settings:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often 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".
