TouchSmart 14: I lost my license forever?
Hello everyone, so I bought a laptop on one year oa year anda half previously, it came with windows 8, I've upgraded to 8.1 windows and many bugs came to the surface because of the gpu, I think, so I asked a "tech guy" to help me return to windows 8 and he did it for $ 100.
Fast forward to today and I wanted to switch to windows 10, but I discovered that my copy is undertaken, it has installed a pirated copy, I think, but I discovered that any computer HP laptop stores the key is in the bios, so I used a program to find and found a "oem windows key" or something like that and saved did a clean install of windows 8 (which turned to be windows 8.1 but to my surprise no glitches or bugs that happened) and now my key is not approved by windows.
Please tell me that I can always come back my license, I can prove that everything I own is legal and I did not know that it has installed a pirated copy (is it a legal copy since I paid 100 dollars).
Hello:
The key in the BIOS of your laptop would be for W8 OEM.
See if this file works for you... It works with product keys in the USA/Canada computers. I know elsewhere.

You also need this tool to burn the iso file on a flash drive, DVD or usb.

If the file installs W8 and activated successfully, get the free update to W8.1 and then to W10.
If this does not work, you will need to order a set of W8 for your PC recovery discs.

Dell XPS 12 format, I lost my license to win 8?
I have a Dell XPS 12
I had problems and I lost all my partitions.
So I had the Dell with an empty SSD.
Its the weekend and Dell support is closed.
Fortunately, I have a Dell XPS 12, which is the same model.
I made a recovery disk Factory Image of my second XPS 12 and restored my first XPS (using the second factory XPS Image)
However she moved on the XPS license key the first XPS second.
It will be not active online because he says that it is already in use on my second XPS.
How can I get my key of the first XPS specification?
I checked the box to the PC and there is nothing in there with a license key.
Online research he says Dell integrate the key into the motherboard? That means I've lost my license? or is there a way back?
OK, the engineer came today with a new Liteon SSD and a recovery key.
It has replaced the DSS without trying the recovery key, don't know why...
It replaced the Samsung SSD with a SSD from Liteon (which I am not happy). Then he recovered 12 XPS with USB sent by Dell.
The touch screen was not working and windows was still not activated.
He called Dell, dell asked him to follow certain steps which included disabling Secure Boot and tries to get back again. what he does, but he still had the same problem.
The touch screen seems to be a driver problem and they key seems to be a motherboard problem.
Reference Dell sent him a new screen, new bezel for the screen and a motherboard to replace...

Lost my license number for Driver Tuner
I lost my license number of the Tuner driver
Not a Microsoft product.
Also, Tuner Driver is a driver "all in one" software update. These style of software should be avoided because they can cause problems with the Windows 7 registry.

I lost my files forever?
Hello
Basically, I wanted to create a movie with photos and videos of my summer in New York City on Windows Movie Maker. I put all the various video clips and images in the video, saved from the entire project and then transferred to dropbox. I recently did a factory reset on this PC, delete all the files on my PC, assuming that there would be no problem retrieving my files using Movie Maker external later on using the drop box.
I can receive the project, however, I'm now fearing the worst I lost my files forever. When I open the project, I get a warning telling me that "the file is missing", and each of the individual clips have a yellow warning sign next to them.
Y at - it sort of anyone to receive the files back - after all, that they were all rescued on the Movie Maker program.
Thank you very much
Kyle
Hello
I don't know if I understand, but you will actually need to download DropBox files on your machine to access with MovieMaker...
You'll probably also have to place in the same location\filename as before or Moviemaker won't find them... You may be able to redirect Moviemaker to the new location, but you may need to do this for each file... I have not actually used MovieMaker long, so I can't say for sure...
I have some programs that you can the redirect to a new folder in project only once, and they're going to get the rest of the files. I have also some programs you need to navigate to the new location for each file... Quite a pain really

I reformatted my hard drive and lost thr to Creative suite license key 5.5 for Mac. I tried calling support however telephone support is no longer for the online product versions.
If someone could help that would be much appreciated. Thank you. (I use an English version if that matters)
If you reformatted your computer then you probably lost the possibility to determine the serial number of the installed software.

Lost all licensed / downloaded pic | How to redownload without paying again?
Ugggh. Pictures of 24 that I paid for (licensed) and downloaded on my drive were destroyed. I went to my story, thinking I could easily re - upload pictures that I have already paid, and he asks me to pay again for the 'license again." Help! I want to just download the pictures I already paid for and lost.
Hi Debbie,.
You can download your image under the license again on the history of license and you will not be charged again.
You must click on save to computer as you said to redownload the image.
Kind regards

I have an old Compaq 610 Notebook PCand the hard drive failed, unfortunately. Can I replace the hard drive, but the Windows licesnse key sticker is so worn that I can read is no longer the characters. How can I retrieve my license key?
Sorry, but there is no way to retrieve the PID key that was printed on the COA Microsoft sticker. Further, the key that would have been recovered since the failed hard drive now is not the same as that on the sticker. You will need to use the recovery/restoration of HP/Compaq media to install the factory OS on the new hard drive. If you do not have this media, you can be able to demand for HP business support.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Pavilion p001TX: lost Windows license key
I bought a pre-installed llicensed WIndows 8.1 compatible HP laptop. Recently I tried to dual-boot my laptop with Ubuntu 14.01 for educational purposes. By mistake I finished my whole hard drive, which meant that even the recovery folder wiped out formatting. I want to reinstall Windows 8.1 on my laptop, but I don't have my copy of original Windows license key. I bought the laptop to an authorized HP provider, but he says that the company does not provide a repair CD Windows. The license key is not located in the BIOS of the laptop, it is not yet available on any sticker on any external part of the laptop. What can I do to find the key licensing and re - activate my original Windows? Pease guide me.
Hi @Rishi17 ,
Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p001tx and problems with product activation Windows 8.
Here is a link to product activation Windows 8.
Here is of little assistance from Microsoft as well.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

This is actually a good opportunity to give up McAfee for antivirus less greedy in resources such as the MS Security Essentials, but you can download McAfee site MyDellDownloads if you really want to keep.
