Re-install the product key (Windows 7 pro) after replacing the motherboard

• Product key Windows 7 blocked after replacing hard drive.

  Hi all, I need your valuable help please. I surfed on the forums, but have not found an answer.
  I installed a real (bought in a London retail store) Windows 7 ultimate on my Sony labtop. All good everything worked.
  Then my phone fell and I had to replace my hard drive. I have re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate with my DVD again, all good, and it works.
  But now the activation fails. I also did phone activation exercise but it stops and says that my key is invalid.
  Basically, I just need the previous facility disabled so I can activate this new installation on my new hard drive again.
  How or who done it? I have not found a touch of Windows support for this. Please help, thanks a lot

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

  My laptop fujitsu has been sent for repair; the technician has restored the settings to factory default which wiped out the Professional Windows 7 operating system. 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.

• 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

• Product key Windows 8 Pro does not

  Hello

  I just bought Win 8 Pro online and downloaded the ISO.  I used the ISO to make a new installation on my PC.
  Once installation is complete, I have indexed in the product key that is listed in the e-mail message from Microsoft command, but win 8 indicates that the product key has not worked.
  Did I forget something?
  Hope someone can help me here.
  Thankx.

  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.

• How can I fix Windows XP OEM after replacing my motherboard computers?

  Replaced mother on board, how can I do a repair (the Win XP OEM retail box) of Win XP installation?

  original title: how to install Win xp oem retail repair?

  You can try to boot from the installation CD and select the repair option.  License of the OEM version is however considered as not valid once you replace the motherboard, unless it is the same brand and model as the original, then I wish you good luck!

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• 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".

• Sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable

  Hello Toshiba Help Center

  Please help me solve this problem

  Three years ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba with Windows Vista preinstalled. I also received a DVD with her recovery. I now want to reinstall Windows and completely format the hard drive - however, the sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable. So what I did... I formatted my laptop for windows 7 and after a few months, I want to recover my product key and install windows vista pre - with the original product key that sound now
  unreadable...

  Is it possible to get it back by, my laptop series No, or...

  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.

• Trusted sites to buy the product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?

  Trusted sites to buy the product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?

  Windows 7 product keys are not sold separately, any site claiming to sell Windows 7 product keys are sold separately no doubt hoarded non-genuine product keys from TechNet and MSDN subscriptions.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.
