  • The family windows vista product key premium you typed is invalid for activation.

    Hey guys, I recently restored my computer toshiba laptop to factory settings and at the end of the factory restore it takes me to the screen too activate my windows vista. It gives me the option to activate windows now or wait 15 seconds and activate later. So, obviously, I click on activate now, but I get an error that says: "the windows vista home premium product key you typed is invalid for activation." So o get three options that are 1. Buy a new product online, 2 key. Type a different product key, 3. Contact toshiba to help solve this problem. I know that the product key was under my laptop, but the problem is the product key is faded and I can read is no longer the key. I also contacted toshiba to see if they keep records, but they did not. Any suggestions?

    Well; Toshiba was right in saying that it was the way in which the recovery Partition and drives to work.

    All we can suggest is to use Microsoft phone activation method; do not follow the instructions of the car, but brace yourself for a real person explain your problem to.

    Long story short, I got this error message after wearing my PC repair (we have installed a new HARD drive).
    My VALID product key does not work and says that he cannot be saved. It is also not to give me a phone option to contact microsoft.

    My hypothesis is that now that windows 8 is out, the only way to get one is to send a mail?

    Whatever it is, can someone point me in the right direction?

  • Windows 7 Home Premium product key, in that you typed is invalid for activation

    Hello. I moved my hard disk on a new computer and installed windows 7 Home premium on a new SSD. I used my windows of my original HARD drive key to activate a new. My system control panel tells me that just 26 days to activate windows, but also said that my key is not valid, as indicated in the title. I can't switch to boot from my old HHD because it gives a blue screen and immediately shit down when he's on the windows splash screen. I am only trying to activate my new windows correctly any help would be appreciated.

    Windows was preinstalled on the other HARD drive, which was originally in a desktop computer I bought 5 years ago. I'm not sure where the COA is, but if it was on the sticker on the side of the casing of the original computer, it has worn long. The original computer was a Compaq, that would help me locate this COST?

    Hello

    As the HP Compaq computer laptop/computer came with preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    See you soon.
