You do not have * one * key product. You probably have a product key for each of several different products. For example, if you are running Windows 7, you certainly have a Windows 7 product key. If you have Microsoft Office installed, you have an Office product key. And if Norton uses a product key, then you have a Norton product key. And many other programs use product keys too. A unique product key cannot be used for several products.

So when you say "I need to know where to find my product key number. I can't use some programs without it"which makes no sense. Each of the programs that you can not use has its own product key, so please tell us what programs you have the subject and where you got the programs. Each program should have with his own product key in the package he came.

And a remaining issue: If you ask about a product key for programs that are part of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.) and Office supplied with your computer, and you have no product key so that it is almost certainly what you have only a trial version of Office. Your trial period has expired and if you want to continue using it, you must now buy the product and get a key for this.

  • IQ524: find product key number

    I have an IQ524 all-in-one computer, I received the computer with Vista and a few months later I received a package of HP discs for windows 7, in which I installed quickly. I want to install windows 10. I just found out that I can go to Cnet, who sends me to the download site. At first, I couldn't find my product key, the key that I have on my computer is only 20 letters and numbers for a long time. I found the product key number 25 on the back of my computer, but I guess is for the Vista operating system.

    The package of disks for windows 7 OS have no numbers on it what so ever, so I have no idea what product key number and I don't think I've ever had that number. Where can I find or is it possible to get another number product key for windows 7, so I can install Windows 10 on my computer? Now that I think about it, do I need a product key number (for windows 7) I got the number for Vista?

    Thanks in advance...

    From what I understand, the upgrade to Windows 10 does not require that you know the product key for Windows 7.  Until Windows 7 is functional and active, then you are good to upgrade to Windows 10 using the update function M$.

    You cannot use a Windows 7 Professional anytime upgrade product key with reinstall media, it can be used only to upgrade license of qualification basis where you bought the upgrade in the first place (Starter, Home Premium).

    The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
     
    An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
     
    What happens if I lose my product key?
     
    If you lose your product key, you can return to

    www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
    ------------------------------------
    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.
    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    When you bought the computer, he had the pre-installed Windows 7?
    If so, this is a version of OEM license.
    Not worth trying all of 3rd party product key finders. They do not work on the OEM version.

    You call the computer manufacturer and ask what follows...

    1. a set of recovery disks. Its cost is minimal and money well spent. The game will save your computer if it crashes.
    2. talking to a technician and ask for instructions access your recovery as well as partition to use it to restore your computer.

    The 2 methods above does not need to enter the product key.

    Note: The methods above will restore your computer to factory State. You will lose all your personal files and programs you had installed. If you still have ways to support those up to a flash drive or an external hard drive, do so now.

  • Where is the product key?

    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.

    Hello

    A question any longer, with material that could be to help others.

    My HP Pavilion (2013) brand new 23-b010ez a pre-installed MS Windows 8 version 6.2.9200.
    Comments on this page to the effect of "the old fashioned useless, full of 25-digit product key" are not correct.
    That means installed "Windows Help and Support" of my computer for example on the product key?
    I quote:
    "It's a 25 numbers used to activate Windows.
    -"the product key must be in the box that came with the Windows DVD come in French - or.
    -"[product key] should be in an e-mail that shows that you have purchased Windows."
    "It's a good idea to save a copy of your product key for your records in case you need to reinstall Windows."
    I had no system of Windows (recovery) DVD on purchase. It came pre-installed.
    I had no email with a product code. I got a confirmation of my Windows account, I was forced to sign in the first starting up my computer and a confirmation email of authorization with a verification for my Microsoft Account code.
    But no code produced by email (they wouldn't email defeats in any case - security).
    And I agree keep an external copy of the product key. Apparently (according to the "Windows Help and Support information" provided on my new computer I HAVE the product code for reinstalling Windows.)
    I found also asks me to tap into it, if I try to buy windows to another computer, or to add functionality to my edition of Windows from here: configuration\systeme and security\activation center\windows of activation using these built-in control functions. In both places, I wonder to enter the complete 25 digit product code. No other solution. Can't tell him to go find the BIOS, on the contrary!
    So far, what I've found and where?
    I tried to find the product key, without success. In "Windows Activation" to control configuration\systeme and center\windows security\activation, I found the last 5 digits (or are they the first?) and my activation date. In "System information" control configuration\systeme and security\system, less listed under the title 'Activation of Windows', I find my windows is activated and a "product ID 20 code numbers. What is the rest of the key complete product which is now part of BIOS, as shown above? It would be good to know.
    Why do I need to enter the product key?
    Well because reinstallin Windows, adding additional features (regardless of who it) and buy another copy Windows to another machine.
    So, where is the product key - or come by it?
    I don't have confidence now and seen the galley do to get under pressure once I have to do a reinstall of Windows on my new computer.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.
    Like you said windows 8 has been preinstalled on your computer. We would like to tell you that the product key will not need to be included as it uses the product by the manufacturer key which is encrypted in BIOS.

    How to find the product key?

    1. open the original OEM software package; the product key will be printed on a sticker located somewhere on the case. Some software have the sticker on the back; others will have it inside the case.

    2. review the case of your computer for an OEM product label; This is common for computers produced by major retailers operating under Windows.

    3. open the manual supplied with the software; OEM key are printed on the inside cover, or inside the back cover first. Sometimes the key will be printed on a loose sheet back in the manual.

    4. communicate with the computer retailer that provided the software; retailers often keep records of keys to product belonging to their customers, in the case where the keys are lost.

    Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you.
