  How to install and activate Windows 10 using your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key

• I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

  I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

  Thank you

  If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

  You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

  If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

  However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

• Windows 8 pro activate windows, the product key does not

  Windows 8 pro installed on a new hard drive very well. now the pc settings come to activate windows and my product key does not work. any further suggestions?

  You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

  If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• product key does not match current Windows SKU

  I completely rebooted my laptop using the recovery DVD and completed the recovery process until the windows implementation required me to type my windows product key. I typed the key that was on the label of my computer case. However the phrase 'product key does not match current Windows SKU' is displayed. What should I do?

  Hi Michelle,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Communities.

  I'm sorry to know that you encounter some problems using the product key. Let me try and help you with this question.

  Did you purchase this license from a merchant reseller?

  There are several reasons to why you get this error:

  > You made the it.
  > The product key you entered does not match the key assigned to Windows on your computer. The SKU is waiting for a key matching the installed version
  > The product key has already been used on another computer.

  If you are still having the same problem, then please contact Microsoft Service customer to confirm if the product key is the right one for the current version of Windows 7.

  How and when to contact Microsoft and support Customer Service

  Hope this information helps. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you.

  My laptop is with pre installed Windows7 professional edition, and I have a new product key WAU (Home premium-> NEC) in hand. When I tried this product key in the Express Windows upgrade process, I received a message "product key is not valid.
