Vista product key sticker is worn. How can I get code?
my friend has a Toshiba Satellite phone that she bought from a retailer in the United Kingdom. Vista stopped booting and I checked the hard drive that has no bad sectors. It seems that I need to reinstall Vista, but the product key sticker is affixed to the underside of the computer and some of the numbers are worn. Looking carefully with a magnifying glass class I seem to have 21 out of what looks like 24 digits.
Anyone know how I can get the rest of the code? I have all the other codes from beneath the laptop. This includes the serial number of the laptop and the number that is greater than the activation key and bar codes.
In any case a round of applause for the one who puts the sticker under the laptop, where it must obviously be carried away.

You can not
The key was on a COA sticker must be on a sticker that you * should * have stamped on the case of the machine.

Windows COA sticker worn, how can I get Win7 key #?
I have a G60-535DX laptop, hard drive has been replaced and has no recovery Partition. Is there a way to get Windows 7 key # if I have a serial number of the product? The COA sticker is worn, it can not see all the characters. It came with Windows 7 Home Premium.
If you can boot into Windows, the easiest way to retrieve the key is to use a utility calledMagic Jellybean .
If you cannot start Windows, or who have already replaced or reformat your hard drive, then you have four choices.
(1) use the recovery disk series or usb recovery media that you should have created and put in a safe place.
(2) buy a HP or an HP partner recovery disk
(3) purchase of a new facility under license of Windows 7 DVD
(4) install an operating system open source as a version of Linux
If you are using a serial or usb disk recovery recovery media, you use the activation of license key. The Windows certificate of authenticity is just there to provide proof of legal license and in case an owner has decided to install a non HP Microsoft Windows version.

part of my product key is deleted / damage how can they send me the key by e-mail?
I just got my laptop fixed and now it tells me that my windows 7 is not genuine. I have my product key, but some of its parts is rubbed off. Can I ask Microsoft to send me my product key?
Option 1:
If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.
Option 2:
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.
Option 3:
If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

I recently bought a copy of Windows XP Professional. I installed and activated Windows XP while I had an Internet connection. This went well. I then download Microsoft Security Essentials, who then informed me that my copy of Windows is maybe not authentic. Confused, I downloaded the WGA tool, who confirmed that my Windows XP was not authentic.
The Microsoft product activation call and reading my product to a CSR key, he confirmed that the key was official and I have to contact Technical Support. But Tech Support costs a bit of money, and I'm only 15 years to be honest (Yes, I have a bit of technical knowledge).My question is this: is it possible that I can make genuine Windows? This problem is getting boring now. I tried to reinstall Windows XP and re - enter the product key (I tried an online activation and a phone).Thanks in advance.Hello
I suggest you to see link below and check if it helps.

Any thoughts?
Block you cookies by moving the slider on the Privacy tab to the top or to a site from the list which is accessed through the Sites button. If this isn't your problem.
If I remember well AVG Free scan deletes the cookies in a default scan. But it should be limited to tracking cookies.
I'm not familiar with HotSpot Shield.
You run like CCleaner cleaning software that deletes cookies?
Apart from that, I am ideas. You could try to run without addons (type Internet Explorer in the area start search and select the no addons version) and see if this behavior persists.
Just to clarify, the data is available if you navigate away from the site, then come back to open a session? Or is it only after close Internet explore and restart?

HP product registration pop-up ads (how can I get rid of him!)
Hi all
Can someone tell me how to get rid of the pop up asking me to register my product. All the stuff of HP is registered (out of warranty) but every day, he returned to my screen, even if I clicked on "Don't ask me again" at every opportunity. I am considered a bit boring 'virus' now.
Advice of deletion would be appreciated before I have 'falling' with HP!
Kind regards

* Original title: get the product key
I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?
Hello
Your question is not very clear to understand.
If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.
There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.
How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?
The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.
Try Amazon.com, etc.
___________________________________________________________
And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.
License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
