Where can I find my product key for Windows 8?

Original title: product key?

Ive had problems to install apps on my laptop. I talked to the customer and they said that they would need my product key and it was on a sticker on the underside of my laptop. Yes, there was a sticker, but apparently not the correct code. I asked what exactly was the product key, but she could not really explain it and just kept saying that it's a code. the only code that I could find in my laptop in my control panel says product key, followed by most of the numbers in 'X' - ed out. now they say I have to buy a new code, but I've never bought a code first. can someone clear this up for me until I throw the laptop out the window?

Product key Windows 8 are now integrated into the BIOS (its call OA3 activation). You will need to remember the support the customer of this fact.

BTY: supported Windows 8 is filled by the portable Microsoft support manufacturing and non manufacturing the laptop should know this.

    Hello

    I think that 90% of Toshiba laptops, you can find on the market come with preinstalled operating system. When you start it for the first time do NOT activate pre-installed OS. At the bottom of the laptop, you can find Windows sticker with valid license key.

    Maybe you bought for laptop computer without an operating system preinstalled. In this case, you need to install own OS and use the own license key.

    The question is: which model of laptop you have exactly and has your laptop comes with preinstalled operating system?

    Preinstalled Windows OSes of lenovo is already active, it is surprising that yours is not enabled. I suggest you contact lenovo CS.

    In case you did a clean install, you must have created a recovery disc for XP first then these discs contain a picture of Windows preinstalled [pre-activated] and other lenovo software:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68317

    As Microsoft Office, the version provided with thinkpads is the trial, unless expressly ordered a license at the time of purchase.

    It will be useful.

  • How can I find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium (preinstalled) as sticker has worn through.

    Someone knows if the product key is stored in any file on windows.  Or does anyone know if Microsoft will have kept no record of the product key and can send information.

    The short answer is no.

    Even if a product key is stored in Windows and can be retrieved by various utilities third keyfinder, when Windows was preinstalled, this key is a special key used by the manufacturer of the computer to automatically activate Windows when, for example, you use the manufacturer method to restore the computer to its factory condition.

    This key can be used if you want to reinstall using a Windows CD/DVD installation that you have purchased.  To do this, you use the key on the COA label on your machine.

    If you need this key, your most likely solution is to use a bright light and a magnifying glass.  If it is completely unreadable, it is possible - though unlikely - that the manufacturer of the computer (non-Microsoft) can be useful.

    No key will be useful if you want to install Windows on another computer.  OEM (preinstalled) Microsoft software product keys are valid only for the computer on which the software was first installed.
