    Hello

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can get the key, the only thing is that you need to log a ticket with HP to get the same.

    You will need to install the OS to the factory and provide the last 5 characters of the current generic key of the PC and the ID of the product, as well as other information such as your address and so on.

    This is necessary because the key is unique to your PC and if used on a another unit will cause your PC to turn it off.

    In one, you will need to buy a new key from Microsoft.

    In theory, if you install the operating system from the HP recovery disk, you will not have a key as the OS will pick up the key from the BIOS and scoped once the PC is connected to the Internet.

  • How will I know that my Windows product key is if one on the sticker that is located on the computer does not seem to work?

    You want more details. For two hours I answered all the questions that ask you that. And still no support. You up to the date of this laptop, every day at 03:00, so don't tell me the product key, which is on the back of this box is incorrect. Or that it is not the country I say. Just send me what is on the back of this box, which I paid too much for in the first place.

    We are not Microsoft. We are volunteers who give of our spare time to help people. Complain about Microsoft is a waste of time. We are in the same boat as you when it comes to most of the problems and not more control or access that you have to do.

    A product key is not in the box where everyone can see.  It is a sequence of alphanumeric 25 digit of 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes for the operating system.  If this is the original installation, the key will be on a label on the underside of the laptop.  It has been upgraded or purchased as a product of the retail (suggested by saying you that you have a box), then the product key for the product to the retail sales would have been on a piece of paper inside the box.  The product key on the label of the laptop would have been crushed (which would have been in the computer would have been product key from the manufacturer that could not be used to enable or provide proof) by installing the retail or upgrade.  Microsoft has no idea what is your product key regardless of the case - even if you bought them (unless it was by a download and then you should have an email from their share with the product key to this topic).

    If this is not a problem of activation or re-installing and that you have installed and activated the product yourself, try of Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and see if the product key, it reveals work best of all what you use now.

    For more information, if it does not help, post to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_install?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376.

    Good luck!

  • Need a code product key for a change of hard drives. I need key product for the motherboard too?

    computer, I took the hard drive was an emachine with Windows XP home. I had another computer in a place away from giving old IBM computers with no working or deleted hard drives. I put the hard drive of the computer and now its wanting a product key code. I don't know where the original XP product key is for the moment. I do not know what is the product key for the motherboard because it was a used computer. If this does not work, what are my options for access to the info on my hard drive another way?

    The license for installing XP on an eMachines computer will be an OEM is restricted to use on this computer. It cannot be moved to an another computer/motherboard.

    If you want to make true on the new computer, first check and see if this computer has a COA OEM sticker on the case.

    If so, then you have use the product key update tool to change the key and then probably activate by phone.

    If this isn't the case, then your only hope is to see if you can find a reputable provider with stock of XP Home and purchase who then use the tool to update product key with the new key.

  • Can't activate Windows 7 after re - install, have the product key for Vista but not W7

    Hello

    My father-in-law asked me to help him with his laptop because he had a lot of problems with it. After a lot of work trying to solve the problems, we have decided to re - install Windows because it seemed to be the easiest solution. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the installation disc. After some research, I discovered that it is possible to download an ISO of Windows 7 on Digital River and put it on a USB key to create a pseudo reinstall drive. I looked under the laptop and saw that the product key was still visible on the sticker, so I moved and re-installed Windows 7 using a USB key that had the right file ISO on it.

    However, it is only after you have reinstalled Windows 7 that I realized that the laptop came with Windows Vista and which is what provided the product key. It seems that the laptop has been upgraded to Windows 7 after, but my father-in-law doesn't remember anything about it since it is not too good with computer and the laptop belonged to his son.

    Now, we have a new installation of Windows 7, but I can't understand how to activate it. I would really appreciate the help as I already put a lot of time on this and cannot find a solution.

    Thank you.

    Managed to find a working link to a file image of vista and installed on the laptop. Everything seems fine now.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Product key sticker not readable

    Hello

    Need help with my product key sticker.  My friend gave me his HP Netbook that has Windows 7 Starter edition is installed.  The sticker that has the code on it is attached at the bottom of the computer, and therefore, I can't read the third channel of information...  I can read as follows: ABCDE - SON-JK? MNOPQ-RSTUV.   The? are at the door of the letters on the product key sticker.    I found the CD key in the registry, but that the CD key is different from what is on the sticker, because I think it is came with Windows 7 Starter and Windows update it took for SP1.  How can I do as I want this info before upgrading the operating system in case it is needed.

    Thank you
    MM

    Hello

    We cannot help you find what is the product key.

    We can ARICI give you information to help you reinstall and activate this operating system of Windows Starter.

    As it's a Netbook, it shouldn't have a DVD player.

    But it will be a Partition to reinstall Windows 7 from recovery.

    You can do this passing through HP Recovery Manager or by pressing F11 at STARTUP.

    It is all explained in the link to HP

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c01867418&cc=us&destPage=document&LC=en&tmp_docname=c01867418

    The product key that you found in the operating system's product key which is used on several machine during the production of the factory and is useless for purposes of resettlement.

    It's nothing to do with the SP1.

    See you soon.

  • How to get the Windows 7 product key?

    My friend laptop is broken and must be reformatted. It is an Acer and did not come with any CD. It doesn't have a partition on the hard drive for files to restore. I think that someone who may have removed it long ago.

    The computer came with Windows 7 preinstalled. He has a sticker at the bottom of the laptop, but the heat green product keys and other key wear is more readable.

    I have the same version of Windows, so I was going to just to use my DVD to install Windows on your computer, and then use the product key to activate it. So that Microsoft knows that it is a copy of geninue. The entire label is faded.

    I tried to find what is the product key and I'm not. I know it must be stored in the computer somewhere I need find and write it down so I can use the same product key when I reinstall Windows on his computer. I don't think that my product key will work on his computer.

    I've read online, you can get the product key from the registry, but I have no idea how to do that. I want to just make sure I can get the computer active again once that I format it.

    Thank you.

    You should be able to order from the manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (no key needed, because the OEM SLP key is incorporated)
