  Hello

  I read a few threads about similar problems with the BONE key and the key change has always helped
  Sometimes, Microsoft rates the key of the image as incorrect or not valid. Why? I don't know... it's Microsoft you know ;)

  Fact is that the key on the cover of the CD can only be used to activate the software Microsoft Works or OneNote installed on the laptop. The key is not responsible for the Windows operating system.
  The key that could be used with the Win operating system is placed at the bottom of the unit.

  Well, according to your message you used this key and now I m a bit confused
  I think you should make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to clear this problem

• FOR THOSE WHO HAVE UNREADABLE WINDOWS PRODUCT KEY STICKER

  If your Windows product key label is worn out or unreadable, you can forget about getting any help from Dell or Microsoft. You're basically on your own. Microsoft will send you to Dell. Dell will send you to Microsoft. Microsoft will try to charge you money. Dell will try to charge you money. You'll spend an hour chasing your tail and you will get nowhere.

  This is a very simple and very common problem. It is mind-boggling to me that there is not some sort of procedure in place to deal with a wide scope or unreadable COA label.

• My windows product key is not valid.

  Hello

  My windows product key is not valid. It shows that I don't ' have a genuine windows, and so I entered the product key to activate

  and its not to validate. It was workiing before, just do not know what happened.

  Help, please.

  Thank you!

  I wanted to tell the name of version (e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium) printed on the sticker.  Is the version currently installed on the PC of the same version?  Check in Control Panel > system page.  The number is the ID of the product that is not supposed to be the same as the key.

  If the versions are identical, then the problem is a bad character entered, almost always.

  If the product key is readable, then you can certainly use it to Clean install Windows Upgrade 10. Look over the steps and ask in return if you have any questions.

• Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?

  Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?  Or can I use a disc that I have to restore the windows on a second laptop and activate it with a different product key?  It is not a question to find out how many users I can put in place, but whether the disk and product key are mutually exclusive.

  As long as the product key matches the edition, it should work perfectly, no exclusivity.

• Windows product key expiration

  Hi, I got my laptop to format and so I had to reinstall my Windows. But after installing it, the guy who was fix my laptop said that my product key has expired. Is it true that this windows product key 8 expires after a certain time? The windows are about 4 years old. What should I do? HAVING to buy a new Windows? Help, please.

  It never expires. The guy who has been fix your laptop didn't know what he was talking about, or he lied (my guess is the last, and he screwed something himself).

• Where to find the 8 unique language of 64-bit windows product key?

  Dear,

  I have Toshiba P850 with 64-bit Windows 8 unique language pre-installed. I could not find the product key on the back of the laptop, then I tried the Toshiba web site and find nothing, I also tried the Microsoft Web site and failed to find an answer.

  As I'm ready to upgrade to windows 8.1 (only one language of course), I found the product key, always not sure if Microsoft will upgrade the single language version too, so, I'll keep waiting for an answer to this question.

  By clicking on 'Show details in Windows Activation' I found a two groups of characters, but the 1st group is five asterisks. As far as I know, the Windows product key contains five groups of characters.

  My concern is to ask if this version of windows will have a product key, if there is a product key, can someone tell me where to find it?

  My gratitude to all,

  Ayad,

  In Windows 8, the product key is now in the BIOS, not on a sticker on the computer. When you upgrade to 8.1, you need not provide the product key; You can find out for himself.

• Pavilion DV-6: Restore Microsoft Windows product key

  Hello

  Found similar problems on the forum, however there is no passage clear to solve.

  I need to recover my HP laptop, however tha label has no visible info on the windows key for re-installation of the system. Please provide how to fix it.

• HP Envy 14 LR198AV: HP sold me PC with no valid Windows 7 or at least an invalid Windows product key and product ID

  I bought this PC in July 2011 and it is out of warranty.  After that of being harassed at level to Windows 10 months I decided to do it, but rather than the upgrade, I did a clean install from the laptop was malfunctioning.  I read on the Microsoft site that we could do it as long as they have Windows product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 that was already installed on the machine.  I wrote that down with the Windows ID (different number).

  I've updated by downloading Windows 10 to a USB key and then the installation.  Seemed to work very well (I think that I entered my product in the process ID).  Now, a few weeks later I get a message that I need to "activate windows".  I called MIcrosoft after it could not activate using the ID that I and after 30 minutes on the phone they me said my Windows product ID and both are my "invalid" Windows product key  I would call HP and get this sorted - I have the original order number and Microsoft said that's all I need for HP to help me - but I am out of warranty and apparently help me unless I pay them $60.  Another alternative is to buy a new copy of Windows 10 and pay MIcrosoft money.

  I am shocked, because I'm simply doing what Microsoft has been harassment to me.

  BTW, the PC seems to work fine except the message to activate windows.  I guess that another option is to do nothing.

  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Available for the free upgrade until the end of July 2016, according to the latest rules from Microsoft Windows 10. Thus, you will be able to spend to Win 10 If you want. I'm not a fan of win 10, but if you want to upgrade to it I personally recommend the ISO for Win 7 upgrade method to win 10-

  # Download the ISO from MS site, burn it to a DVD, insert the DVD into the PC and start the process from inside Windows 7

  # Follow the on-screen instructions then

• Satellite: Windows product key

  My laptop crashed during a firmware launched by Toshiba software update, I could not recover the soft recovery on the laptop and possibly (accidentally) formatted the drive using recovery software.

  I asked a USB recovery (£40 +!) and used to get the laptop works (or almost).  Now I be prompted to enter a Windows product key.

  The laptop was bought ex-affichage accompanies so no documentation and has no attached Windows sticker.  How can I get the key to enter?  HP would have a record or Microsoft?

  I had upgraded to W10, but the recovery that struck on the head.

  Any help appreciated.

  I have the HP Envy and asked HP support via chat there if they had the product key... I spoke to a very helpful guy called Paul... He sent me the product key by using the serial/model number...

  He also said I could try running the prompt (run as administrator)
