trying to upgrade my 8 pro for media center... It won't recognise my area code

I am trying to upgrade my win 8 pro for the media center, but he does not accept the code that I'm going home.

No error, it will just highlight the code and ask for a code valid

Digital Shaw re-admitted he by all means... No joy.

If you try a nearby postal code, what happens?

  • Refresh Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center

    Dear all,

    I know that this issue is outdated, but I'm stuck and could not find relevant suggestions to solve the problem. I had a Windows 7 preinstalled on my laptop and when windows 8 pro upgrade offer was announced I was among the first who was immediately upgraded to windows 8 pro and then as a special offer that also gave me the windows media center to activate. I would like to confirm that I have not the mail where in the product key for windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and windows media center. After the upgrade, except a few hiccups, there is no problem at all. Then when windows 8.1 pro was available on the windows store I've even once upgraded to windows 8.1 pro. After the installation of my new configuration was Windows Pro 8.1 with Media Center.

    But immediately after the upgrade, I realized that the discount into account and recovery option did not work. He always encouraged me that some files are missing and I need to insert the media. But never, I downloaded an image ISO of Windows 8 Pro and don't have I not a windows media 8.1 pro because of the way I had been upgraded to windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center. in any case, I just forgot the question and never bored on this subject seriously.

    But Offlate I realize that my computer has slowed down considerably. I tried the option to delete the Temp, Prefetch compensation files, scan /sfc, defrag etc etc. But nothing seems to work. Suddenly I realize also that when booting I get a blue screen with the message this process is critical error blue screen death. Sometimes, I just get a prompt Commander with press TP message press Ctrl Alt Del and then some message about a problem in external media connected failure... I never took a snapshot of the same thing.

    Now someone can tell me how to do: -.

    b how to refresh windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center without any media. I have only windows 8 Pro and Media Center Key separately.

    (b) If there is no way to update windows 8.1 Pro without media then

    (I) Comment to download media Windows Pro real 8.1 with the key of Windows 8 Pro on the Microsoft site.

    (ii) what happens if I download windows 8 Pro Media and then try to update windows 8.1 Pro? Will it work?

    (iii) if I download Windows 8 Pro and then reinstall on my laptop running windows, Pro 8.1 will he do a clean install? What happens to the Sony Vaio Care which is preinstalled on my PC? It's the Bios that has been updated on my PC? I checked out the site of Sony Vaio and found that it has not released and drivers for Windows Pro 8 or 8.1 of Windows Pro. Sony has released updates for Windows Pro 8 and 8.1 of Windows Pro only. So after a clean installation from which will be drivers for Bios, graphics, Ethernet, Bluetooth drivers driver, Wireless LAN Driver, SATA driver, card reader memory, Vaio Care pilot, Vaio Control Center, Data Rescue, Notebook Utilities, Vaio Update, Vaio Gate, fast Internet access, Vaio Smart Network, pilot ME, etc etc...

    (c) how to fix the blue screen issue?

    (d) what to do if I get the Message to press Ctrl Alt Del again and it won't start... Return to the menu even again and again...

    I'd appreciate if tech assistants would care to guide me to solve the problem. Any attempt to answer in very technical terms without guides step by step is likely to confuse me further... If a request to all the counterparts to stay simple.

    But a simple thought crossed my mind - why Microsoft did complicate the question so... Why couldn't they keep the key product of Windows 8 and windows 8.1 even for anyone to directly download the windows pro 8.1 and refresh the PC.

    anyway thanks in advance... regards

    Hi Isabelle,.

    I understand that you are looking for ways to refresh your computer.

    IF you get a message missing files when executing update, it is recommended to create a bootable disk for Windows 8.1 and launch then refresh.

    Please follow the link below that will guide you to create the installation media for Windows 8.1:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    You have not an ISO for Windows 8.1 with media center, it's Windows 8.1/Windows pro 8.1.

    Once you launch a clean install of Windows, you must reinstall the application on the computer manufacturer website. and to learn more about the availability of drivers, contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

    Blue screen problem can be caused for multiple reasons such as drivers, hardware...

    See the bottom of the article that will help you with the blue screen on the PC problems:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/resolve-Windows-blue-screen-errors

    Message from press Ctrl Alt Del appears mainly due to an external device, try to remove the external devices connected to the computer and then restart it.

    Please contact the telephone support, suggest so that all difficulties can be addressed, see the link below:

  • WMCE54AG - dialog box 'Site not designed for Media Center'

    I just bought WMCE54AG media extender on ebay and it connected to my PC Windows XP Media Center.  It seems to work fine except that I can't access Online Spotlight.  I get a dialog box saying "Not designed for Media Center Site" and asks me to view them later / now display / Cancel.  I select view now and get the Online Spotlight menu options, but can't do anything with it.  This feature works fine on my PC.  Is there some setting I have missed on the Extender?  I tried to update the firmware, but when I have intalled, it says I have a newer version, so I cancelled it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, after trial and error, I finally understood what the problem
    a. the Linksys Extender is not compatible with IE7. After rolling back to
    IE6, I could see online focus in the media extender. As a note of
    careful, I had upgraded to IE8 beta 2 and Spot online has stopped working on
    my media center PC as well. I had the same error as I did on my extender. This
    in the end is how I realized that the problem was with the IE version.

  • Get Win8.1 Pro with Media Center in Dual Boot with Windows 10 Pro

    In December of 2012, I bought a new Dell XPS12 running 64-bit window 8.  Later, I bought "Win8 Media Center Pro Pack" for Windows Media Center.  Later, I upgraded to Windows 10 pro and lost Media Center.  Given that I had a legitimate copy of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, I would like to re - install in a separate partition.  I was able to clean install Win8.1 in this partition using a flash drive and the MediaCreationTool.  He did not like my product key OEM Win8, and he didn't like my WMC Pro Pack upgrade key, so I installed using a KMS key that is freely available online.

    Clearly, I go about it the wrong way.  I'm happy to start again and install Win8, then upgrade with my pro WMC pack key, but I do not know the mystical incantations necessary to get there.  Since I had legitimately a Pro Win8.1 with instance of Media Center, and I my self Win10 product key after upgrade, I can't imagine that such a dual-boot configuration would be illegal.  Can someone please help?

    Thank you

    Loki

    Hello

    Eventually your 8.1 installation using KMS will be disabled.

    1. cannot use keys hacked to enable long term of Windows, as you will be taken; It's a matter of time.

    2. the key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

    The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

    Kind regards.

  • Reinstall Windows 8 Pro w/Media Center after flight computer laptop

  • HP 250 G5: upgrade Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro with HP 250 G5

    I bought the cell phone following the Friday (19/08):
    http://store.HP.com/UKStore/merch/product.aspx?ID=ECC_BUNDLE_6082661&opt=&SEL=NTB

    I see from the description that it is said:
    "Windows 7 Professional 64 (license and includes support for Windows 10 64 Pro).

    And further explained:

    "This system is preinstalled with Windows 7 Professional software and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software. You can only use a version of the Windows software at a time. Switching between versions you need to uninstall a version and install the other version. You must back up all the data (files, photos, etc.) before you uninstall and install operating systems to avoid the loss of your data. »

    However, I received no media with the laptop. I know there is a guide on creating your own Windows 10 courses to http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04876361 installation media, but as it is an upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, and we are now outside the free upgrade window, I want to check if those who are indeed the right way ahead.

    You should have received the Windows 10 Pro media as described on the auction site. This media can be in a plastic bag that came with the computer. Please go through all the material supplied with the computer. If you are unable to find the Windows 10 media, please contact HP Customer Support in your region for assistance.
