Unreadable XP COA key ring

I have reinstalled XP on my 1151NR CD recovery, but the activation key on the certificate of Microsoft to the label of Authenticity on the underside of the netbook is worn and unreadable.

A call to HP support gave the Council "... we can give you a new key. You will need to contact Microsoft.

But the Microsoft site says "If the software is preinstalled on your computer, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a replacement product key.

I can't be the only one who has the key rubbed off - advice? Anyone who can replace the key?

Thanks in advance... JS

In all the years that I've been on the forums I have never seen someone get a replacement. But, recovery CD should not require a still. Your application a key?

  • Derive COA key used in VMware

    I used a key COST to active windows 7, which is installed in VMware (virtual machine), and I can't use VMware, can I deduct the COA key and using it to install windows 7 on a physical PC? If so, can he activates online? Or I have to go through the activation of the phone and explain what will happen to the representative? Thanks in advance.

    If the COA key belongs to the physical PC hardware he came originally with.

    Therefore, if Windows 7 is initially supplied with the computer, but you then transferred the license to the Virtual Machine.

  • Reinstall Windows Edition Millennium, said COA key invalid

    PC of a friend... Original SONY VAIO with Windows ME installed... error Kernel32.dll machine crashes and makes it unusable. Owner GB midi file loaded to the top and won't lose them. SONY restore cd erases the entire disc when it reloads. Trying to recharge using the Windows 98 Startup disk and reinstall help CAB of WInME installed on hard disk for a nondestructive WInME.

Machine has never been worked away and 83, former owner, bought new. Ideas? Help?

    Hello

    I suggest you remove the hard drive of the machine and then connect the hard drive to another computer. In doing so, we could save the files together to the other computer or on an external drive.

    After you back up essential files, you can go ahead and run the Sony restore to restore the computer. The backup files can be restored to the original computer.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Stream 13: Where the windows/COA key for HP Stream laptop sticker?

    I bought a HP laptop, Stream, and it is a great little computer.  I was wondering where the key Windows/certificate of Authenticity sticker is however.  I don't see anything that is affixed to the laptop or the included documentation.

    There is not everything. The key Code is integrated into the BIOS. If you install Windows 8.1 from an OEM drive that it will activate automatic based on the BIOS. If you want to view the Code and have it physically available the current version of Magical Jelly Bean will extract Windows 8.1 key Code:

  • Key ring with password question

    I wanted to get my preferred airport for my home wireless pw.

    In the Keyring there is an entry marked 'System' and one marked 'local products '.

    "Local" elements I'm invited for my pw with the message that it wants to access the keychain of local items and then shows me the pw. That's ok

    Interestingly, the system asked me also to an IPL with the message that OSX wants to make changes, please enter a name of Directors and password. I can't even cross it with 'root '.

    What happens here?

    Hello

    Quit Keychain Access, and open it again. Type in the name and the administrator password you carefully and press on allow. It should work this time.

    It's your choice: Adaptive to fill the screen with only images (images more or more without text) or old view with the names of files and dates, as well as the icons of keywords or albums.

  • Pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium - OEM keys - retail keys - COA label underside of the laptop... MESS!

    In 2011, I bought a laptop MSI CX 640. Windows 7 Home Edition Premium has come with it preinstalled. With that I think I buy a license for the operating system and the right to use and reinstall it if I need it.

    Over the past four years this handyman crossed a lot of Setup on the laptop, including Linux, Windows 8 and 8.1 and Windows 10 technical overview etc.

    Fast forward to today and I learned from Microsoft's offer of a free copy of Windows 10 for owners of authentic versions of Windows 7. So, what I have to do is return to the original genuine Windows 7 Home Premium I own and I will be able to reserve my copy of Windows 10 right?

    Not so fast, accomplishment that could not and certainly turned out not to be so simple at all.

    I had several long phone calls with Microsoft, who finally dumped the hot potato between the hands of MSI.

    MSI I have to say has been useful at the beginning, they sent me for free and quickly 2 recovery disks I needed that SHOULD have helped also go back to square one, just like I wanted.

    Should, but actually didn't. Recovery fails with an error that seems to imply that the process is looking for a nonexistent disk 3. MSI is perplexed, all that they have these discs and the simple instructions they send with them. In addition, they are totally in the dark and "will not go dark.

    However, one representative suggested that if I could get my hands on a copy of the operating system OEM I certainly would be able to install and use the key I have on my laptop MSI low COST label to activate it. His logic I think, so I'm going to work on this. Another detail, I have to mention is that tht key on the COA label is kind of door as they are all are sitting unprotected Abdel low. But I can take a photo in high resolution and with little digital magic improve to a point where I hope I can read almost all of it and try to guess the characters who are still in question.

    Or so I thought that, actually, he does not leave 2 possibilities.

    I'm guessing either not right (possible but not likely in my opinion, after all the tests I had) or is NOT an OEM key or if it was has now been cancelled.

    Now I'm guessing is NOT a key to the retail, who tried with a copy to the details of the operating system.

    So where this leave poor me, owner of a license of Windows 7 Edition Family Premium authentic apparently, I can't use.

    I hope that one of you readers can help understand me this and I hope my work and tribulations (I'm a very determined guy) can also help some of you in this if you are also in my shoes.

    One final note of common sense me:

    If I buy a product, whether it is OEM, sale retail or gift from God, I would get with it all licenses, numbers, keys, permissions, instructions, ten commandments necessary to have access to this product at any time and without hassle.

    Which seem to apply to most of our purchases isn't?

    NOT THIS ONE OF COURSE!   MICROSOFT?

    Why not reinstall Windows 8.1 or just enjoy the opportunity for Windows 10 preview to the free final version.

    I'll be able to upgrade the Windows 10 insider preview to the final version?

    Yes, you will be able to switch the preview of Windows Insider to the RTM version for free.

    Company officials noted that if you join the program initiated Windows you get the free upgrade to the final version.

    Last confirmation:

    When asked if there would be a date for the deadline insiders before 10 reaches RTM Windows, Gabriel Aul of Microsoft says preview builds will continue to come up to the final version.

    "We expect to keep overview to insiders builds all the way up to the RTM." More details to come, but no cuts planned. »

    https://Twitter.com/GabeAul/status/592917514503507968

    After the upgrade, you can switch to the Stable channel.

    Otherwise, your best option is to get Windows 7 Home Premium retail media and use COA key to reinstall and reactivate. To learn more:

  • Key Windows COA rubbed off, corrupted recovery partition... How to reinstall Windows?

    Hey everybody,

    Windows started acting really buggy for me.  (For example, Windows Explorer restarts each time that I did a right click on the icons to view their properties.)

    I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 (or 15R) that came pre-installed with Windows 7.

    I thought to upload a file .iso and reinstalling Windows in this way, but my COA rubbed down my computer and I learned that it is necessary to reactivate Windows once you reinstall completely (or have a facility in place that keeps the data intact).

    Also, my recovery partition is probably corrupt, since I tried to burn the DVD using Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 and after you have reinstalled Windows and I rebooted, it asked for the actual installation diskettes and would not go further.

    Can Dell provide me with a disk that will reinstall my OS correctly, without my COA key?  I can read most of the characters after a lot of effort, but not all.  I learned a lot about backing up the data and write the whole experience license keys, that's for sure...

    If anyone has any other tips that can help, I would really appreciate it.  Being asked to pay a lot of money for a new computer or operating system seems ridiculous.

    Thank you.

    Bryan

    Yes.  Although there are stories of success/miss Dell sends do not record, the people, for the most part, receive the media using the form.  Warranty status has no effect on the successful requests or not.  One thing that seems to slow down or stop the process is if you are not the original owner of the filed with Dell system.
