Striped product windows key 7

I got a laptop HP from a friend and I reinstalled windows 7 on it, but the product under it key has been scraped. I used the search to product keys to get the key and it worked but after reinstalling it said I had 3 days to active windows. I googled the key, [redacted], and it turned out to be false. Is there a way I could contact HP to obtain the product key, since I can see a couple of letters and numbers that are not completely wiped off.

Microsoft and HP to keep a record of your product key and niether can or will provide a replacement product key. As jaco1x4 said, you have two options. Well, really three... If you want to buy a new Windows operating system.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • 14 - r205nx: I lost my windows key

    Hello
    My PC was with windows original 10.

    I do format, after that I lost windows key.

    I'm looking for my old key

    Bekwan

    With the recent PC, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware and is not printed on a sticker on the PC.

    HP keeps no record of individual product associated with individual computers keys, so they are unable to provide you with the key.

    You must be able to boot in Windows or WinPE to run a utility to retrieve the key.

    You must use this link to create an installation of Win10 media: 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool

    Then, starting in the media.  Once there, you should see if you can download and install this utility to retrieve the key: Showkey - Windows 10 Forums

    Good luck

  • Satellite L300D - corrupted hard drive, no recovery media, no windows key

    I have a Satellite L300D-11V I'm looking for someone who would not go further that a screen blank after windows start logo, and also when you run Startup Repair he would get at this stage even too. Now pressed 0 while starting would not bring to the top of recovery, only an option for Windows Vista.

    With the help of some high end diagnostic software I have diagnosed that the hard drive has several physical defects that could well be the reason for this purpose the reader is better off being replaced. However, because of the mistakes, I am unable to create images of the player via Acronis or similar.

    Buying a new drive no problem, but the person never did no recovery media so it appears I have to buy a Toshiba recovery.

    There is no Windows key on the case anywhere either.

    If I had to buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important that I have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?

    Thank you

    > If I buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important to have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?
    In this situation best way to solve this is to swap HARD drive, restore disk original order of Toshiba and install Recovery designed for this model laptop image.
    Recovery image should not be enabled. After the installation, it will be activated automatically if you n t need product key of Microsoft for activation.

    Original recovery disk can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    By the way: Win7 32 bit works quite well on this laptop model then perhaps you should install has the version of Win7. Of course if you do this, you need legal product key.
    Anyway it has nothing to do with Microsoft sticker placed on Toshiba laptops. This key cannot be used for activation anyway.

    If you purchased a machine shipped with Windows 8, there is no COA label as the product activation key is integrated in the chip of the bios - see the article on the following link.

  • Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk

    Hi all

    I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.

    As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/

    As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.

    Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.
