want: recover original windows 8.1

I've owned a game series that had the original version of windows 8.1 pre-installed hp laptop 2 months back my laptop was stolen and I wasn't able to get it back. That said, I had my new back 1 week assembled desktop PC!

I was wondering if there is anyway to return my 8.1 original windows (I don't know what is the product key)

If someone knows a way please help me...

The Windows license that comes with the HP machine is an OEM license, and which means that it is allowed to the Machine, not for the person who buys it and as such, is NOT transferable to another machine.

So, if what you're asking, it's how reuse you the license OEM Win8.1 original HP of your laptop stolen on another machine, the answer is that you don't have.

Sorry, but the OEM licenses are written this way to reduce the cost of the Windows license.

  • ENVY DV6-7203TU: I lost my original windows, how can I recover?

    Hello
    I bought the hp laptop with windows 8, ENVY DV6-7203TU original,.
    Recently, I had the problem of the usb, I went to the computer repair shop, he removed my original windows and reinstalled some windows 8.1.
    My original genuine windows was 8 which I later upgraded to windows 8.1 is deleted, I have a few new windows installed 8.1 now not on my name, he has also deleted my recovery partition, but somehow, I could find a screenshot of my old genuine cd key and my name on which it is registered.

    Now I have the cd - key,
    But when I try to install through windows 8/8.1 installation programs, it says bad cd - key for version retailer etc.

    Can someone help me please how can I reinstall my windows genuine 8, if I have the cd key, where can I download the installer of windows 8 oem? where my cd key is considered valid.

    Microsoft has a site where you can download the ISO of Win8.1 images - but it cannot be used for OEM versions - which is what you have.

    Any PC tech with an ounce of intelligence knows that an OEM machine comes preinstalled with an OEM version. So I should be surprised by the huge incompetence of the shop where they "fixed" your PC - but I'm not!  Seems these days, anyone who can be synonymous with PC can open a repair shop - and incalculable damage as a result.

    You have to contact HP for recovery media.  (Very likely), you will have to pay for it, and it is usually about $30 USD - but yours could be different.

    You then starts from (it's probably a DVD or several CDs) and will be reformatted your hard drive, and the operating system reinstalled from scratch with all HP programs and utilities.  Then, you should see what you can do on the registration files and valuable data before you for the restoration.

  • How to recover my original windows activation code

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 8:

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  • Can I pick up my original windows home prem 7 OA as losted?

    Dear Sir

    I formatted the laptop to install windows 8, but I want to recover my prem home under license of Windows 7 TOSHIBA OA G66C0002GC10 download as I button at the bottom of my laptop to activate.

    How can I download windows 7 and activate with the original key that I have at the bottom of my laptop.

    Please tell me the procedure.

    I want to recover my original windows 7 Home premium, as I lost it.

    Kind regards.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • When I have 4 or 5 tabs open, by selecting one of them often force this tab to open in a new window and close the original window

    FF 32.0.1. Move between the tabs that are already open, clicking on which I opened before forced to close and open in a new window, which is a real pain. It seems to happen when I have 4 or 5 tabs open, rather than 2 or 3.

    Only, this happened last week, once reinstalled a clean Windows.

    I searched and found a lot of people have problems with the new windows that open when they want just a new tab, but this seems to be on the opening of the fresh rather than return to already open tabs, so I can't find the same problem I describe.

    This can happen if you drag a tab slightly downwards in the browser window by clicking.

    Firefox has a feature called tabs
    You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
    You can also do this via the context menu of a tab: switch to the new window
    You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment.

  • I get "well, that's embarrassing Firefox ishaving trouble recovering your windows and tabs... every time I start worm." 20.0.

    For these past few days, whenever I open Firefox, I get "well, this is awkward!" Firefox has struggle to recover your windows and tabs. I'm on version 20.0 on an IMac with Mountain Lion. I don't want back windows or tabs. I still have to close everything and leave Firefox when I'm done with it.
    If I choose Select 'Close', then I get an empty stage and not my home page. If I 'restore' I get what is listed, but I don't really want to. I want as my home page. Y at - it a fix for this problem?

    A possible cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

    Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

    so I want to buy the new HDD, and I want to know how I got my windows 8 key back?

    Each laptop comes with preinstalled operating system also preinstalled recovery media Creator called tool. This tool can be used to create bootable recovery DVD or USB media. This recovery media can be used in case this recovery HARD drive installation procedure no longer works or if the HARD disk fails, as in your case.

    I presume you didn't create this media, right?
    Is that you can order the original recovery image but is not free.
    More information, you can get the Toshiba service provider in your country.

    I don't know if you can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx but please check.

  • Help! I can't recover my windows xp to the factory computer with the restore disc

    Thank you.

    You will not be able to use the disks to restore this computer because the defective Board you thrown had a tattoo to warn the disks that the MB was the original material. The disks now think you are trying to install windows on another computer. Which, technically, you are.

    To solve this problem you will need to either:

    (A) order the systemboard directly from hp if available

  • Satellite A500 - how to reinstall the original Windows 7?

    Hello

    I bought the Toshiba Satellite A500-19U and Windows 7. I tried to create a new partition, then I've done assets so he hid, after restarting the laptop, I had a black screen and massage (bootmgr is missing)

    So I installed another copy of Windows 7 just to connect to my computer. Then after the copy of Windows 7 installation I made inactive D if it appeared there is file recovery. So my question is: as long as I have this file I want to reinstall the original Windows 7 I have in the drive hard, but how?

    When I press F and repair, then it does not give the last option of HARD drive recovery! Why and I have the recovery file?

    Please help me

    Hello

    I guess you didn't read the manual user, first of all. I m right? ;)

    Well, normally HARD drive recovery you can start if you go into the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer. After that, you can choose the option of HARD drive recovery.

    But I guess that this isn't possible anymore because you have installed another copy of Windows 7. If this menu isn't available anymore.

    The only option to restore factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc. Did you create it? This can be through with preinstalled creative drive recovery Toshiba but if you didn t create it, it s too late now, too.

    The only option now is to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly. So take a look in your user manual.
