Reinstallation of Windows 7 product key question valid.

I see a lot of another similar post here, but none the explicitly to help me in my situation, as I understand it. I have problems with my computers that confuse me now. Both my laptop and desktop computer had hard drive failure and I replaced the drives in both entities (nothing else). Today, I have reinstalled Windows 7 on two of them (the sticker COST says Windows 7 Home Prem OA), I entered for each respective product keys and none worked properly. Both computers say I entered the product key is invalid for activation. I tried this for 32-bit and 64-bit versions (my laptop was 64-bit before the hard drive failed, I don't know what was the office, but the diagnostics say it is capable of 64 - bit) and it made no difference.

It would be my time to search around, that the replacement of the hard drive should not cause this problem. I am not mistaken? Is there no way to reinstall Windows 7 using existing product keys? I received my links to download other messages here but the installer for this installation of Windows 7 Home Prem has an agreement of Service Pack 1 installation, should I be looking for a different version? What does the acronym for OA?

Hello

You are allowed to change hard drives; the motherboard with OEM (preinstalled or system builders licenses) are the problem.

And with or without Service Pack 1 download works with the product key on the COA sticker.

This is the product key that is all important.

If you have followed these steps to reinstall, follow the phone Activation section for activation problems and brace yourself for a real person explain to the:

Download the correct ISO file and make your own drive and use the product key located on the COA sticker.

And here are instructions on how to burn ISO disk images:

Then do a clean install:

The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

By using the downloaded ISO file method can require the Activation of phone.

If it does require phone activation, do not follow Demand of Auto, but brace yourself for a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup

    Original title: product key already in use.

    Recently, my computer crashed (power).  Try to avoid problems with my hard drive, I bought the same computer exactly on the line.  I installed my old hard drive on the newest computer and all is well... Except, when trying to activate my Windows Vista Ultimate OS I get the error message "The key of product already in use" Microsoft site confirms that the product key is authentic, but still will not let me activate.  All solutions?

    Your old computer had a "Retail" or "OEM" of Windows installed version?

    OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed and can not be activated on another motherboard. The only exception is the 'mother' is exactly the same make / model / part number as the original motherboard.

    Commercial versions can be moved from one computer to another without problem except that the the phone activation may be required.

  • A Windows XP product key will be recognized to activate one installation of Windows 7 Professional

    A Windows XP product key will be recognized to activate one installation of Windows 7 Professional

    Windows 7 uses own unique product key, Windows XP product key can activate Windows XP.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

    You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

    They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

    Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.

  • Is there any web page of Microsoft, where I can check if the product key is valid or not before using it?

    Hello team,

    Are there any Microsoft webpage where I can type my product key for windows 8 and receive:
    -product information - if the key is valid, what version and so on.
    -instruction where and how download the correct software for this product key.
    I have just a key card - card with a product key for Windows 8, which must be valid and which I have not yet installed and I need a proof for it.
    I found this web page:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/validate/DownloadValidationSupport.aspx?displaylang=en
    But it is to check if the current operating system on my PC is valid. And I don't want to install first, before I checked.
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Best regards

    Original title: product key Windows 8

    If there was a website like this, it is very likely that someone he would use with randomly generated product keys until they have found one that has been reported as working.

    So I guess the answer is no, there is no site I know. The algorithm that determines if a product key is valid or not and to what version is a secret very jealously guarded for the reasons mentioned in paragraph 1.
    If you have a genuine product key card, it should show the version that it is intended to be used with.
