Repair and recovery Forum left Windows 7.

Hello

1. have you tried to activate the Windows 7 product key?

2. do you get an error message?

When you make a significant hardware change to your computer, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time, you may be required to activate Windows again. For more information, see Activate Windows 7 on this computer.

I suggest to activate Windows 7 by phone activation product key and check.

Activation of the phone:

a. click Startand in the search for box type: slui.exe 4.

b. press ENTER on your keyboard.

c. Select your country.

d. take the phone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

  • Unable to activate Windows 7 after replacing the motherboard.

    Original title: Windows 7 will not turn on after replacing motherboard

    I have a question about activation for windows 7 and sound very similar to trend below:
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-windows_install/the-product-key-you-typed-can-not-be-used-to/9f1eec2b-da6c-434D-8C61-e3710426f6e1?TM=1348445068808

    I had one laptop I had for 5 years. It came with windows vista installed on it.  About 4 months ago, I bought windows 7 Home premium allowed for Latin America and the Caribbean. I installed it on the laptop and it worked fine. Then about 2 months ago the motherboard on laptop computer exploded and I bought a new laptop provided with windows 7 pre-installed.

    I want to do a clean format of this new laptop with my windows 7 CD. I have a license key I had with the CD which, according to the trend above is not valid and I will not be able to activate windows (even though I own the copy) I have also another key, I had with the laptop.

    My question is if I use the installation CD I bought and used the activation key, that I got with my laptop that I'd be able to activate it?

    What if they are of the same edition would you be able to use the product at the bottom of the laptop key.

    Before we do, have you tried to restart by phone.

  • Unable to activate Windows Vista after upgrading the hard drive.

    install on HD replacement

    HD crashed.  Bought the new HD 2 t.  installed Vista with system recovery disks.  Operating system will not work.  What should I do?

    Unfortnunately - since it is a process of recovery provided OEM - only help you can really get is OEM themselves.

    Windows XP can have trouble with the size of the player (depending on the installation media level of service pack that you use) or controller drivers.

    Are you sure it was your hard drive crashed and nothing else has been damaged?  Could be a bad controller, bad memory even a poor diet.

  • Unable to activate windows xp on the old computer after reinstalling

    I am the resurrection a storage computer that was purchased in 2007 with Windows XP Home Edition.  I formatted the hard drive, because he had some problems before and reinstalled windows.  He now wants me to turn on, but when I use the phone service or try to enter the product key in the activation of the sticker on my computer window it says it is invalid.  Is it because he has been activated before or because it's really old? Is it possible to go beyond that?  Everything works fine on my computer, but when I try to use windows update, it won't let me.  He says I have 30 days in my grace period, though. Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Touchsmart 320 computer: Activation of Windows 7 after the replacement of the motherboard

    After that my PC has failed because the motherboard has been damaged by an electric shock, I replaced the motherboard in a Service of HP to the Chile. When I got back my PC it works fine, but after 1 week, it begins to show a message that says I need activate Windows 7. When I try to activate, it asks me the product key, but there is no place to find. After a few days it will lock up and I could ' t use more. I pick up the PC with recovery system and works very well the first days but again is asking me to activate Windows 7. Where can I get activation key for my Windows 7 original product? I want to continue to use my PC normally.

    Thank you.

    Greetings,

    There should be a Microsoft COA 25 character sticker attached to your system.

    Try the product on the certificate of Authenticity number.

    You will need to contact HP for the service if there is no COA sticker.

    It seems that HP did not tattoo the BIOS on the new motherboard with the correct information to auto activate the operating system.

    See you soon!

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-e020us: reactivation of Windows 8 after the replacement of the motherboard

    I have a client with a HP Pavilion Notebook 15-e020us. The motherboard is dead and must be replaced. It is, of course, out of warranty. I can find used/given to nine mothers online, but worry about the reactivation of Windows 8.1 once the replacement card is installed.  Can someone enlighten me on how to go about this without having to pay for a new license key?  I met the same problem with a Dell laptop and have ended up changing the license to it, making the project too costly.

    Hello

    > so sorry for what we cannot provide or be able to get this product key
