To change Windows 8 product key
Hello
I have a scenario:
I buy a key Windows 8 K1. I installed it on my desktop. Then I bought another key K2 (Windows 8 Pro). I changed the product key on my desk of K1 K2.
Now, the question is what I do with my old key K1? Since it is installed/activated anymore anywhere, I can (legally) install it on any computer?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use the key on another computer, but you will need to reactivate by phone:
1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4
2. then press the ENTER"" key.
3. Select your "country" in the list.
4. choose the option "activate phone".
5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

Cannot change Windows 7 product key
Hello
My computer says that I don't have Windows genuine. If I go on the computer properties the Activation of Windows area is not displayed if I could change my product key, slui.exe also does not open. I run command prompt and type slmgr.vbs - ipk
and none that works. The operating system will not want to work more? Your computer has a version of the OEM - SLP Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Due to the fact that several critical system files have been tampered with, you will not be able to change the product key. You need to reinstall your Windows 7 operating system using the recovery method recommended by the manufacturer of your computer.

How to change Windows 7 product key
Windows recently told me that my copy of Windows is not genuine. I got this copy for a little over a year and a half now with the problems. So I bought another key and any of the other options seem to be working. This includes: Enter system properties and then clicking on the 'change product key' (option is not there), the use of slmgr.vbs in command prompt (command not recognized) and using "activate windows" (does not open). I have included a copy of my journal MGADiag for help.

I have it has not enabled during installation because I had not noticed it. Now I can't find where to enter it. I tried in my computer, right click-> properties but there is no option that I had before I reinstall 'change product key '. I tried Control Panel-> system, but it's always the same window.
Thank youThe key in the report is the default key - which can be activated in any procedure.
If you managed to 'activate by the normal procedure', then you have an installation of counterfeiting.
MGADiag may actually have fixed the minor problems with your operating system - which then allowed you to change the key and activate this one.

Cannot activate Windows, the product key already in use
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.

If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.
If HP's Vista recovery disks, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
