Where can I retrieve my key Activation OEM for Windows 8 Pro?
Hello
So I decided to solve the annoying problem of partition SSD in my Yoga Ideapad 13 by to pick up a Windows 8 ISO and install it via USB. Unfortunately, I can't find an activation code. Obviously, my computer came with a factory, but once I did a clean wipe of the drive, all of this has been lost. Lenovo has a way to retrieve an activation code to users?
Thomas
You shouldn't have an activation code. If you install a simple Windows 8 OS (not Windows 8 Pro), then in the BIOS activation code should be adopted automatically during installation. The key isn't vald for Windows 8 Pro, so if you want to install, then just buy it at Microsoft. Note that it is technically unnecessary to buy a full Windows 8 Pro key, key to upgrade should work just as well if you're ready to do a simple search on Google for a workaround which takes a minute of your time plus a reboot your laptop to achieve more.

I recently bought an Asus laptop that came with a genuine product key Vista Business OEM. I want to downgrade to XP and have installed a copy of XP OEM for this purpose I have found information on the internet indicating that I would be able to contact Microsoft, explain my desire to downgrade, to provide them with my Vista Business product key, and they would provide me a product key for XP, I could then use to activate the copy of XP I have installed.
However, it seems that it is more possible, because all the support activation is automated, and I was able to get a Microsoft service on the phone representative to activate my new installation of XP. How can I do to receive a product key for XP and activation of my installation?
Thank you
Scott
Thanks for the replies, you two! I called Asus, and they said that, since they do not recommend the downgrade, they do not downgrade disks provide, or provide for XP Pro license keys in case a user wants to downgrade. I told them about the rights of download, which I had heard before on the MS site support and they have always said they wouldn't / couldn't provide me with a license key, even if it was for OEM Windows XP distribution. Ah, well!
I don't think that Asus just "recommended" it or not!
They must conform to Microsoft.

When will they be available?
I read in http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03427752 that "today, a solution for your printer is not available for the Mountain Lion. However, an update of the driver will be available in fall 2012 . "Since it's already winter 2012, a solution will be available before January 2013?

Hi Chun Pong,
Seems to download the software I mentioned before has been deleted. This means that a new driver will be downloaded.
Please visit the site from time to time if a new software is available. I'll keep an eye as well and provide an update here, if the new software can be downloaded. It may take a few days.
