WANT H8-1569: cannot activate WIN 10

I had my HP ENVY again in the box for 2013 and decided to start to replace another PC who was dying.  He started by WINNING 8 (not 8.1) and was soon to do all the necessary updates to the current. I have not upgraded to 8.1 to WIN.

Before the break free WIN 10 update, I installed the upgrade and everything was fine until I saw the message that WINNING 10 needed to be activated. I had no WIN 8 product key, but used Majical Jellybean Keyfinder to get the key, but WIN 10 still would not turn on.  According to Win Support that I need to get a key for WIN 8 activate WIN 10, but the key in the bios was crushed by a 10 key WIN by default overwritten during the upgrade.

So is it possible around this so I can activate WIN 10 or is there a way I can get a WIN 8 key to solve this problem?

My other alternative is to buy 10 WIN and do a reinstall, but I would avoid it.

Thank you.

First of all, by itselfr, Windows is UNABLE to write to the UEFI firmware where the product key is installed; Therefore, there is no way that a Windows Setup would replace this key.  You must use the programming code of the special firmware (like the one provided with the updates to the BIOS) to change the firmware.

Second, MagicalJellyBean is not reliable to find OEM product keys, as it tends to report what he sees in the registry, and that is not always correct.

To find the integrated in the UEFI firmware OEM product key we this utility: Showkey - Windows 10 Forums

Good luck

  • Can not activate win 8 error "the key provided is not for this edition of windows, use either windows 8 setup or enter an activation key for windows 8.

    OT: Cannot activate win 8 on my laptop due to the change of hard disk.

    Hi all

    I have a Samsung np550p5c-s05in and it came installed with 64-bit Windows 8, later, the hard drive developed a few problems and as I had guaranteed him, they were replaced by a new, but this one came with a victory 8 32-bit that is not enabled. Now, I got the product key of victory last 8 I had so I tried using them to activate, but an error came that said something like

    "The key provided is not for this edition of windows,

    Use the installer of windows 8 or enter an activation key 8 windows. »

    So it was logical that the key I had was for a 64-bit win 8, so I installed win 8 64 bits of an image file and then I repeated the same procedure to enter the key and the same error came once again.

    I would ask so you people to please help me with this, because I have no idea whatsoever what to do next.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Satellite L300-01:00 - DVD in PIO mode, cannot activate DMA mode

    Hello everyone,

    Recently, I have a laptop Toshiba L300-01:00 and I have a little problem with the DVD-ROM drive. Maybe some of you can help me with their knowledge. So here's the problem:
    The DVD runs very slow, I guess in the PIO mode. I can't switch to DMA mode because there is no options.

    On ' Device Manager / IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers ' options are a single - 'Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller' where you cannot activate DMA mode.

    I have WinXP SP2, SATA and all the other drivers installed.

    So my question is, how can I enable the DMA mode for the DVD player?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I have a laptop with installed U400 XP OS and I the primary IDE channel entry into the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

    Main channel that you can switch to the PIO or DMA is available in IE.

    Now the question is; How do you install XP on your laptop?
    Usually, the SATA mode must be set to AHCI in the BIOS, and you must include the SATA drivers to install Win XP on this laptop.

    Then a primary IDE channel should if poster in devices and the PIO or DMA settings manager should be there.

  • You can use a win 7 Home premium... to activate win 7 starter?

    I bought two copies of Win 7 Home Premium.  I have replaced the hd in my acer netbook and want to install win 7 starter instead of xp.  You can use a win 7 Home premium... to activate win 7 starter?

    Thank you.

    No, you can't. Windows 7 Starter Edition requires a product key of Windows 7 Starter.

    Since you have two licenses for Windows 7 Home Premium, why not use one of them?

  • I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked,

    I had to perform a clean install of Win7 Ultimate on Win7Pro, which recorded data may in a window.old directory.   When I installed Win 7 Ultimate, it would install with Win 7 Pro installed, so I've had to do a clean install which has formatted the hard drive.

    I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate with the product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked and I cannot activate my installation of Win 7 Ultimate.  What are the options?
    One of the solutions is to re - install the original program, Win 7 Pro and then re install Win 7 Ultimate.

  • Cannot activate XP Repair, installation ID does not work on the phone

    Hi all, I recently had to run a repair of Windows XP Edition family due to a driver issue and finally managed to return to the start screen and try to log in, but it wont let me connect you without activation (I suppose some confusion because it is installed on my computer for more than 30 days, but the repair made me have to reactivate).  So, I tried to start safe mode and was able to connect here in the version without networking.  Unfortunately, when I try to activate by phone (no network connection, the default ethernet driver was the cause of all this to start), the automated thing will not take the installation ID that is displayed in the activation page.  I know that I have a valid product key and the original disk, as I used it a year ago to re - install on a new hard drive, but I have no way to actually enter the product key!

    Assumptions on how I can try to work around this problem for long enough to activate online (I use a USB wireless, but the computer must be started in order to establish the connection), or why the crazy long installation ID does not work?

    Thank you very much

    Hi Jarska,

    ·        You did changes to the computer recently before the issue started?

    ·        If your computer came pre-installed with Windows Vista, or you don't have it installed separately?

    You receive this error 0xC004E003 when the Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed on your computer. You can access the link below and follow the steps in method C and check if that helps you solve the problem of activation. If the C method does not work, you can follow the steps in method G and try activation using the automated phone system.

  • Question of ' system cannot activate the graphics performance "T400

    Hi all

    I have a ThinkPad T400 with Switchable Graphics, running Windows 7 x 64, with the latest drivers provided by Lenovo.  I tried to go to the ATI graphics card today for the first time in a little and got a message "system cannot activate the graphics performance", invites me to disable all external video connections or disable all graphics applications.

    The problem is, I don't have any open application.  I disabled several startup programs, uninstalled VMWare Workstation and tried several services, I thought that might interfere with the manual - still no luck switching.  I'll reinstall the driver, but in the meantime, anyone have any ideas, or find a resident program that tempt me not not to be able to switch from Intel for the ATI graphics card?

    I believe that after checking the system logs, the error was somewhere in libraries Visual C++ Runtime. I decided at this point, that the question was too difficult to follow and with Service Pack 1 available, I saved and reloaded. Problem solved.
