What is the product key stays tied to a computer?

Uh, Hello, my first question here. :)


Here's my question:
I bought a laptop a while ago, and it came with Win7 Ultimate, but without the DVD of it.
Now, I have to re - install the Windows and I have this question: if I use a Win7 DVD from a friend, could I use my old product key?
Or is - what the product key associated with the DVD allows us to install it?
Thanks and sorry about anything,.
Gabriel.

Your laptop comes with a hidden restore partition & you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of PC to create the recovery disks

You cannot use a version of win7 retail full dvd which is identical to your preinstalled version, with your key

  • Uploaded image of Windows 7 Professional will not accept the product key that came with my computer.

    I have a Dell laptop, Studio, approximately 1 year, delivered with Windows 7 Professional installed - the label with the genuine product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. Shortly after I got it I deleted the recovery partition to make room for Linux installed next to Windows. I had problems with Windows system (mainly caused by me bad installation software and drivers without proper backups) so I decided to reinstall Windows. I had already deleted the recovery partition and wouldn't use it anyway because I prefer a clean system without unwanted from the manufacturer in this regard. I did not receive a Windows operating system installation DVD with my computer, so I downloaded a (64-bit Windows 7 Professional, the same as the original operating system) which already had SP1 on it (the version of Win7Pro installed Dell's not SP1). I installed Windows on this drive and attempted to activate using the product key that came with my computer, but it would not accept the key. I don't have time to try to solve this problem, but now the period of one month is up and my computer does not work correctly.
    I suspect that the problem may be due to me using the SP1 disc. If this is the case, should I reinstall Windows again? I have * NOT * GOING to buy another product key when I have already paid for a genuine version of Windows. I just want to be able to use my computer without the ridiculous slowdowns caused by pre-installed software and the way I chose.

    Thanks for any help with this problem, I really need fo fix my computer.

    original title: Activation error, Windows 7 Professional
    Windows product key: *-* - M3DJT - 4J3WC-733WD
    Windows license Type: OEM SLP

    The key to your report is your OEM SLP key which can not be activated. This isn't the key to COA.

    but the key I tried to use is what I copied on the COA the day I got the computer of the book where I put all the information on my computers.

    Is the product key in your book is the partial key in your report?
    You must change the product key to the one on your COA.
    Check your compartment of the COA.
    The other solution is to reinstall your Dell OEM recovery disks or recovery partition. This self will activate your computer.
    Additional information:

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    (B) COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  • 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.

  • dissipated in the tag of the product key on the laptop, where I can find what it is

    product key for my laptop disappeared from the tag, how do I know what it is?

    Hello

    As you have lost the product key of the laptop, it's a preinstalled operating system and you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    They give you a different product key.

    What you can do now is ask them to send you a set of recovery disc for the computer model reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

    Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.

    Also ask them how to use specific keys to reinstall.

    None of these methods of resettlement requires normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

    I have toshiba laptop and I have the product key and I do not know what windows is I can find it with the product key or any body help, I can't use it

    You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

    If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

    It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

  • What is the importance of the product key?

    Product key, Product ID and license key means the same thing?

    If I buy a product key online, up to what limit of its used. When it is used for the installation of a pirate operating system or an application like Office 2010, will it work as authentic and that means that the operating system or office application will be transformed into a real? Or what's happening?

    The "product ID" is used to identify the product.

    The "Product key" to activate the product

    The "license" is the legal treams which you accepted during the installation of the product.

    Not a good idea to use a pirated version of any software, because it might include certain undesirable characteristics such a keystroke monitors, virus, etc.  Since you have not mentioned the source of pirated software I can't recommend trying to activate it with a valid key.

    If you're ready to buy a "Product key" then why not buy the retail box version because it includes as well the installation disks authentic and a product key.  You may need the disc if you need to reinstall the software.
