• How can I get a new Windows 7 product key for free?

  I am a person who has the life out of a well-being which means I have very limited funds for money to buy a new product key for my windows 7.  Now to say that I bought my laptop on the street market, and lucky me a friend bought me a new hard drive form my computer and I don't know what or how he got windows7 here but he did. With someone who doesn't have a credit card and life out of $500 a month, how can I get a new product key, which I can't afford and so I am unable to work

  Please if anyone can help it would be so appreciated.

  This means that you must install the original version of Windows shipped with your computer if you are not Windows 7. Otherwise, you will need to set up or ask a family friend or a member of the family gift that you register.

  If you know a student, you could ask to purchase a license at price reduced for you.

• Can I use my Windows OEM product key on more than pc?

  Windows 7 OEM on two computers

  Hi, I recently built a computer and I bought a copy of windows 7 64 bit OEM OEM. I use it of course on the new computer, but I have a desktop HP with Windows 7 64 bit OEM on it too, I need to reinstall windows on the HP and I was wondering if I could use the HP OEM code, but the drive I bought for the other computer to reinstall. Thank you.

  If the drive OEM from Microsoft is the same version as the key product you already have - Yes, you can use the other installation disk to reinstall Windows (example: the drive and the key must be Windows 7 Home Premium).

  Note 1: You can only use the OEM key on a single computer, OEM can not be moved to another computer. You must use the key to your HP computer on this computer.

  Note 2: You cannot use an OEM recovery disk that came with another computer to reinstall Windows - OEM recovery disks are only valid with the computer, with which he came.

  Case of failure of the online activation:

  Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

  Note: If you always install Windows page enter your product key, do not enter your key and uncheck the "Automatically activate when online" then click OK/next to complete the installation.

  1. start by clicking on the start menu, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.

  4 Select the telephone activation option, enter the number, do not select all options and wait for a person pick up, then explain what happened.

  HP also has several options to reinstall Windows on their computer:

  HP - create a set of recovery disks operating system:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01895783#WhenCreate

  HP - restore the PC to its original state with the recovery disks:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01895783#RestoreWithDiscs

  HP - restore the PC to its state of origin using the F11 key:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01895783#RestoreWithoutWindows

  HP - order of the recovery disc for Windows 7

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c00810334

  When restore you to factory State, it will be like it was when you bought first - all preinstalled programs will be installed. Everything you have installed after purchase needs to be reinstalled. This removes all the personal files on the computer, save them first.

• Windows 7 product key for OEM with the disc no valid retail install. problem from 32 to 64-bit?

  I bought a CD OEM Windows 7 a few years when Microsoft was running a promotion for students to go to College.  It was directly from Microsoft, if I remember.  It was just a single CD, just a 32 bit disc and had the CD key.  Installed and everything worked well.  I have clean same Win7 installed again on the same machine a bit down the line.

  But I'm upgrading my computer parts and to move to an SSD and use my old HD that has Win7 installed as my main document reader.  I also want to use 64 bit (which takes care of my computer).  I had misplaced my original disc, but was able to borrow a friends to install Win7 64 bit.
  The problem that I am running is that, after I installed Win7 and entered my CD he said that it was not valid.  Is the CD key, I got only valid for 32-bit?  Which really sucks if it is haha.  Or is there a problem with the clean installation using a key on a DVD retail OEM?  Like I didn't have this problem when I clean installed since the OEM CD, I had until I lost it.
  Thanks for any info!

  It wasn't an OEM license, this is a retail upgrade license.

  But I'm upgrading my computer parts and to move to an SSD and use my old HD that has Win7 installed as my main document reader.  I also want to use 64 bit (which takes care of my computer).  I had misplaced my original disc, but was able to borrow a friends to install Win7 64 bit.

  They are same edition, if they are not the same edition, the product key will not work. Architecture (32 or 64-bit) has no importance.

  The problem that I am running is that, after I installed Win7 and entered my CD he said that it was not valid.  Is the CD key, I got only valid for 32-bit?  Which really sucks if it is haha.  Or is there a problem with the clean installation using a key on a DVD retail OEM?  Like I didn't have this problem when I clean installed since the OEM CD, I had until I lost it.

   

  Firstly, is this the same edition.

  Second, its update, not an OEM license, the meaning:

   

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Why aren't windows to let me use my Windows 7 product key?

  First of all, I got my download of Windows 7 Professional of Dreamspark since I am in college for IT and burned it to a disc. I got it used it once on my old computer to reformat and it worked fine. However, I just built a new PC and use a new hard drive instead of put in my old and now it tells me it cannot authenticate the product key. I really can't afford to buy a different product key at the moment, I want to pay for another but if I'm only using this CD for the 2nd time on my PC why I'm having this problem?

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

I have a product key on the bottom of my laptop I try to use. I'm not sure however if it works or not, half of the research I did indicate this will work, and half what it won't, so I ask here again. Is this possible? or I won't be able to activate windows?

  Thank you

• 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?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:
