The Activation of Windows 7 laptop: scrambled Serial Sticker.

Hello.

I have a Samsung laptop with a Windows Home Premium (x 64) OS which I completely cleaned recently.
I used DBan to wipe the hard drive and when I went to activate Windows 7 again, I realized the sticker under the laptop that showed the Windows serial key is old and I am unable to read.
I still have the box that came with the laptop and I wonder if there is a way for me to find my serial key of Windows 7 with the information of the serial number on the box of the computer.

Thank you.

You must purchase a license.

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.

You can upgrade to Windows 10 instead which will be available in the next 10 days.

  • Pick up the activation of Windows 8 with a crashed disk code

    I checked the other posts, but I can not find this question.  My friend has a 2000 HP (no other digits or numbers anywhere.)  His car crashed and burned.  It will not work in any computer or my docking station.  He clicks just for a while stops and then starts upward.  Needles to say, I can't start so the activation code recovery programs are not an option.

    I bought a new drive to it and installed it and then I managed to get a Dell OEM Windows 8 drive but of course I can't get anywhere without the activation code.  I tried to read the code bar on the keyboard, but it does not recognize my phone.  Is it possible to get the activation code for this computer?  I haven't even looked under the battery, but there is no code anywhere.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can usually order recovery of each model support page support (U.S. / CA) in software drivers/list - but you need more HP 2000 to find the right page. There should be a product number, serial number printed somewhere - usually under the battery, etc. but you indicated that nothing is there? Check in the BIOS, on the first page, for product & serial number.

    Once you have the info, use the button at the top of this page titled 'Support', then click on "Download drivers" in the menu. Enter your product number. After you enter the PN, click "Go". On the next page, use the drop-down menu to select your operating system, click Next. A list will populate with the drivers/software. Scroll down the list to check the possibility of order recovery media.

    Hey Hashiriya Allan

     
    Microsoft licenses part of it is that a single license is for a single installation
    You can not have vista installed on two laptops using the same product key
    and if vista was preinstalled on your old laptop this is an oem license and cannot be transferred to another machine

    Honestly, it looks that your system needs a new reinstall of Windows 7. It should reinstall applications such as Microsoft Office and drivers for devices such as your scanner, printer. If you wish not to do this, follow these steps:

    Check your hard drive for errors:

    Click Start

    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

    Click on "Run as Administrator"

    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    then


    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow
    This will check for any breach of integrity

    Restart your system

    Also to perform a clean boot and see if things improve:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    You should also check to see if you have installed any rogue programs:

    Click Start, type: programs and features

    Press enter

    See the list and uninstall programs, you are sure that you may not be installed.

  • can I cancel the activation of windows 8?

    bought a laptop that we would come back. We walk and activated windows 8 (preinstalled) and registered an account microsoft on this issue. so now the company we bought it from the calssifies as "used", although he never was actually used.

    I have a PC with Windows XP Professional 2002, Service Pack 2, control my LC - MS instrument that uses the MS Xcalibur software.  Four weeks ago, I had a PC crash and re installed Windows XP by using the CD of Installation Re.  On Thursday last week, he came a message that Windows must be enabled.  I tried by phone, but my install ID has not been accepted.  This PC came with Win XP is already installed.  I find it very strange that it should be a problem to activate it once more!

  • How does the Activation of Windows XP?

    I want to know how activation works because

    I want to reinstall Windows XP in my system.

    I have the Original XP SP2 CD
    I use the Core 2 Duo system.
    Now I change processor Quad Core and also 1 TB hard drive
    If I do a new installation from the CD will once again, it will activate, or there will be no problem.

    It is the key that is most important.

    In your current installation, click Start

    Right click on my computer

    Select Properties.

    Look at the display product ID

    If the second group is - OEM character - then it is an OEM license and key, which can not be moved.

    just about anything else can be moved.

    If you want confirmation, according to a report of MGADiag...

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
    -* in your own thread *, please

    Please also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case with your machine, but do NOT quote the key on the sticker!

  • Problems with the Activation of Windows 7 Professional

    Hello, for a long time, my windows was genuine, but then I ran SpyHunter 4 to end a virus in my computer. But then I had to reset the computer, and then, the windows became a pirate and showing 7601 compilation and I started getting messages that I might be victim of falsification of software. Then, I clicked on the link to activate the window again. And then, I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate.exe, and when it ended, I have zero crashed my computer and I received this message, but the windows was always not authentic. Then I went to microsoft.com/genuine and tried to launch the legitcheck.hta, it starts and says that the validation of the window is current and recommended that I do not have to navigate beyond this page. But then, after awhile, it gets with and shows the following script errors:

    The product key on the label of the certificate of authenticity [CoA] is valid only for Windows 7 edition identified on the CoA label.

    Thus, for example, if your CoA identifies the edition as Windows 7 Home Premium, then the only product key will work for Windows 7 Home Premium.

  • Breakdown of the network on Windows 7 laptops

    We know some od behaviors of some of our laptops to Windows 7. When they are connected to our LAN via the wired adapter (this doesn't happen on wireless adapters) they lose network connectivity after about 5-10 minutes of use same light. At first, we thought it was down to a particular model of NIC, but since we had this with a completely separate network card makeup. Windows Firewall is disabled, and what happens if the machine is a member of the domain or not. Also, this does not affect Windows 7 desktop machines, only laptops.

    Richard,

    If you are on a corporate network, you should post your question in the forums of Windows 7 TechNet networks:

  • Get the popup to the activation of Windows 7 after new installation

    I used my actual activation key after a new installation (not an upgrade) of W7 on full CD/DVD with sticker. It seemed to work but I keep getting harassed to activate because the key is supposed to be invalid. Experiment with the options I tried to "Buy a new key online." which took me to a site Web of MS page that CITES "because it is installed on your Windows PC is authentic", etc. Something is wrong, but what?

    ----------------------------  Alternatives -------------------------------------

    To enable the use of the phone
    1. open Activation of Windows by clicking on the Start button, right click on computer, clicking Properties.
    then by clicking on activate Windows now. ?

    2. click on show me other ways to activate.

    3 type your Windows 7 product key, and then click Next.

    4. click on use the automated telephone and then click Next.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    5. click on the location nearest you from the drop-down list, and then click Next.

    6. call one of the available phone numbers listed. An automated system will guide you through the activation process.

    7. When prompted, enter the installation ID that is listed on your screen in your phone keypad.

    8 Note the confirmation ID the phone system gives you.

    9. under the terms of step 3, type the confirmation ID in the space provided, click Next, and then follow the instructions.

    10. If the activation is not successful, stay on the line to be transferred to a product activation agent who can help you.

  • ProBook 4540S: it requires the activation of Windows! Why?

    He bought a laptop with Windows 8 Professional on board.
    The Downgrade, I activated Windows 7 Pro.
    Ability to do some time ago was put in a certified HP laptop repair center.
    On his return from repair - I changed the video card chip, Windows unexpectedly announced the absence of authentication and could not be activated with the current key.
    To demolish all the software installed on your computer and reinstall again - not a solution: some programs may not be reset.
    We need how to activate the operating system under the current circumstances.
    How to do?

    Is that Microsoft is committed to support OEM versions? OEM support is always on the manufacturer. Read the license agreement.
    The problem has been resolved through the back door: the reference to a found authorized service center replace the card mother of GPU in repairing what I said in the first post.

    After speaking with the support of the service center, it was decided that the firmware of the serial number of the motherboard and faulty hardware key. Exactly how that will happen - I don't like. What is important, the 'HP' approved centre acknowledged his error and eliminate it.
