validation of XP-Home Edition product code
Microsoft has a web page where I can enter the product code of my COA to determine if it is a genuine copy? I found the automatic validation page, but it is of no use to me because I can't use my pc. Or, can it be validated by phone - no matter who the number?

Home Edition product key in Deperate need
I upgraded my computer Windows Vista Home Edition to Windows 7 Home Edition years ago, until very recently, I experienced a HARD drive failure, I need the Windows 7 Home Edition product key to download the Windows7 Home Edition ISO from Microsoft site, I have Windows Vista Home Edition product key, is possible that I can the product key of Windows 7 Edition family?
What is the problem with the WIndows 7 disc? How did you create it exactly? Here, others reported recently that imgburn has worked to extract the image file and then after removing ei.cfg burn to a fresh DVD with ImgBurn speed 4 x. Andre gave you another tool to try.
Then what I would do is try to write ISO Flash stick with Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool or if it rejects the ISO as it often (because it is fussy) then use UltraISO software to create Bootable USB Flash Drive that always works. Then start the stick using the BIOS boot menu key.

How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?
My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050. Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid. Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk. What can I do?
The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key. This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system. The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.
If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.
Please see this link:

is windows xp home edition compatible with gateway mseries laptop?
I want to convert my computer laptop gateway mseries from windows vista to windows xp home edition. the specs for the laptop are the following: manufacturer: gateway, model: m7315u processor: intel dual core 2 GHz ram p.: 1.5 GB I have windows xp home edition activation code, but he lost the installation cd and I'm tired of every time that I try to do something that requires administrative permission (which my user account has) the computer crashes. I know that windows xp home edition is being abandoned, but she always work better for me than windows vista (in my opinion)
Hi Xircal,
The computer manufacturer often have the same drivers for a series model they release
But the OP would be wasting their time on installing XP, so bridge never provided XP drivers for this particular model. This is one of the reasons why I suggested that the OP contact Gateqway Support.
The point of the OP's question is that they want to replace Vista by XP
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Here's the line of the OP: "I want to convert my computer laptop gateway mseries from windows vista to windows xp home edition.
In the link you give, it shows being available for model 7300 XP drivers.
: http://support.gateway.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3014
As the OP says that Vista is installed, why this model 7300 only Vista drivers available for it by default, if it is the same material as the M-7315u?
See you soon.

Need serial number for product code
Anyone know how I can get the serial number for Photoshop teacher edition product code? I want to install on my new laptop and have no serial number nor do I know where to go for this SN.
Hi Marlene,
If this is the edition of creative cloud that you will not need a serial number actually CC does not use them. I haven't used the version educational but suspect the installation procedure is the same as regular CC, and which differs only from the way it is paid for. You can benefit from this video

Windows XP Home edition has crashed - how to return WXP and use with the product key?
Hello. I bought an Equium L20 last year and after 1 year my windows crashed due to a virus. I want to know how to get a real windows xp OS because the product under my laptop key is always saved for me and is a legitimate product but I can't get windows because it was obviously preinstalled and no CD was given to me with the package.
How can I get back Windows to use with my product key on my WIN sticker below my laptop.
Hello
First of all, it is very strange that recovery CD is not delivered with your laptop. It's hard to believe, but anything is possible. As you know after buying a new product, it is very important to check all orders sent with it and if something is missing, you must call the local as soon as possible and not to wait a year.
Sorry but this key code belongs to original recovery image and you can't use it with every installation of Windows XP Home edition CD. In your case, there are two options:
-You can buy the CD of facilities Microsoft original WXP (with the key correctly code) or
-Contact the partner of service allowed in your country and order the new CD from recovery for your laptop model.All that s!
Bye and good luck!

Windows XP Home Edition do not recognize the validation key
I'm abroad and currently helping an exchange student colleagues with his laptop before riddled of virus. To know that she was about 6 years without a reinstallation of the machine running, I went ahead and did. Since then, I was unable to activate their copy of Windows XP Home Edition (receive the incorrect product key error) despite the verification on his Toshiba Satellite A105-S361 code. What would be my next step to get this posted thing?
License types must match. Chances are that the license code on the Toshiba is an OEM license key. It validates that if Windows XP has been installed from an OEM Windows XP Edition Setup disk family. If you tried to install Windows by using an XP retail installation disk, types of licenses will not match, and you will get an error similar to the one you describe. At this point, if you do not have a Toshiba Windows Installer disk or if there is not a recovery partition still on the hard drive (accessible by pressing a button as soon as the monitor is active), you will need to contact Toshiba for more help/support.
HTH,
