The Windows provided with my media product key is incorrect.
I NEED TO KNOW THE KEY TO WRITING, BECAUSE I HAVE THE CD AND IT CAME WITA WRITTEN KEY
Real CD do NOT come with the key either written or printed on them
You will need to purchase a legal copy (if you can find a more - MS stopped selling XP well more than a year)
If your current installation is activated and working, use a tool of Keyfinder as Belarc Advisor to get the key to exit, and then write it down somewhere course.

Wiping Hard Drive, Reinstalled with Windows 7 with upgrade disk product key error
My computer has been acting upward, so I back up hard drive and erased the hard drive with the BACK CLEAN ALL command. I then reinstalled windows 7 from my Windows 7 Upgrade disk and restore my files on hard disk. The computer works fantastic and returned half of the memory of the hard drive. A few days later, I get a message on the screen that I have 30 days left until I can produce a product key from the original Windows installation, does not accept the upgrade product key.
I tried the product key located on the bottom of my laptop for Windows Vista comes with the HP computer. It does not work and it gave me no disk backup for Windows Vista from HP.
I called Microsoft and they told me to contact HP for the product key. I see on this forum that someone else has written a similar plea, because it is a plea, and HP said to contact Microsoft. In other words, Microsoft says to contact HP and HP says to contact Microsoft.
I use Microsoft since Windows 3.2 operating systems and have bought a lot of products of them. It's my 3rd HP laptop, my wife is on her 2nd HP laptop. Well you know what? If I don't get this resolved quickly by one of your companies, and I'm not remember Microsoft, I'm through the two of you.
I don't see where Microsoft is not being fooled off but when it's to the detriment of a loyal customer, so don't worry. HP is also responsible for this. An upgraded version of Windows 7 (to upgrade from Vista or XP) should be smart enough (and I thought it was) to remember that I had the original version and its product key should be enough. Also I don't never told me that I had to keep the old product keys, and it doesn't matter anyway because the product key is always available in my laptop HP, but it does not work.
I'm not buying another HP without your help and actually buying an Apple Mac for my wife and my next computer if it is not resolved. I think that HP is probably as bad as Microsoft so that it will not be solved and I'm not shelling out more money for something I already own.

A VPC Image can be activated with a real product key?
Hello, I have a real copy of Windows XP (in a box), but I would like to use one of these virtual machine images (Images of VPC), expiring August 9, 2009. I wonder if it would be possible to activate the VPC image with my real product key?
I was wondering if its possible because he can save me installation of service packs and all of time clean install using my really old XP disc.
Mozillakilled salvation,
Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers forum.
Yes, when you use VPC images, you install the operating system, and it is treated as any other facility with the same licensing requirements. This looks like a reasonable alternative to a dual-boot machine since you don't have to reboot to switch between operating systems.
Here is a link to the Microsoft desktop virtualization products:

Original title: product key error Windows 7
Hello!
I need to clean my office completely. However, I had installed on this PC by a company, with that I can't connect, and the windows Web site does not accept my product key. I create a back-up of installer of windows 7 on my flash drive, but because the site will not accept my product key, I can't do it.
Any help?
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:

Original title: ASUS x501a Windows 7-8.
Hi all
I just registered here after having been a Microsoft user, since I started using computers, I think that when I started to use it is Windows XP haha, anyway.
I'm running Windows 7 on the following specifications
4 GB of Ram
HARD DRIVE 300 GB
Intel core i3 clocked at 2.6 GHz
Intel HD 3000 graphics card
and it's an Asus x501a comes with 7 not 8, so I've upgraded to Windows 8, then I found out, I removed my recovery partition. Oops.
I know it's not a way to make it back, unless I did a copy of CD as I do not have.
so, if I got a copy of my friends Windows 7 Home Premium, my product key on the lower part would work if I clicked on "change product key"?
Thank you
Jordan Doughty
PS: Sorry for mistakes in my writing, I'm not used to a Macbook: P
If your friend has a retail upgrade or full version and it corresponds to the edition of your PC, then Yes, you can use it.

Windows 7 32 bit version product key - where can I get this (UK)?
Product keys are not sold separately, "retail" versions of Windows are products in box with installation support 32 and 64 Bit and plastic a card inside the box that contains the key. Anyone who sells the right key is most like a crook.
Since Microsoft stopped selling Windows 7 about 2 years ago, it is very unlikely, you can find media "Retail".
OEM versions (which are related to the 1st computer they are installed / activated on and can not be moved / used on another computer) but may still be available.
