  Hi Gabriellw,

  Windows 8 systems are pre-activated from the factory. Once the PC is turned on, it remains active unless there is significant physical changes such as the motherboard or hard drive replacement. If you reinstall Windows on the computer, are there no need product key as it is encrypted on the motherboard of the factory.

  If you just need the recovery of Windows 8 disk, you can create one for your computer from Dell backup and restore. For more information, refer to link: http://bit.ly/12kIydx

  Can someone tell me where to find the product key for my windows operating system? I was told that appears when you select "my computer > properties" and on the bottom of all these technical features, it is perhaps not the right code. I have no way to prove or disprove it, so I would like to help.

  Look for the sticker on the computer in question and use the product probably printed on that key.  (If a laptop - be sure to look under the battery - inside the battery compartment).

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

   

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

• Where to find the 8 unique language of 64-bit windows product key?

  Dear,

  I have Toshiba P850 with 64-bit Windows 8 unique language pre-installed. I could not find the product key on the back of the laptop, then I tried the Toshiba web site and find nothing, I also tried the Microsoft Web site and failed to find an answer.

  As I'm ready to upgrade to windows 8.1 (only one language of course), I found the product key, always not sure if Microsoft will upgrade the single language version too, so, I'll keep waiting for an answer to this question.

  By clicking on 'Show details in Windows Activation' I found a two groups of characters, but the 1st group is five asterisks. As far as I know, the Windows product key contains five groups of characters.

  My concern is to ask if this version of windows will have a product key, if there is a product key, can someone tell me where to find it?

  My gratitude to all,

  Ayad,

• 23 - g013w: Windows product key

  Greetings,

  I had to reset my computer through an infinite loop at startup. Windows cannot repair itself, and all attempts by using the command prompt, start safe mode, etc. failed. So, I did a complete reset. Now, Windows 8.1 will not activate. When I get to the option activate Windows and select it, I simply returned to the desktop. I tried to register Windows via the command prompt, but an activation key is required. The key is not stuck on the computer, and I don't know where to find it. Of course, I'm dead in the water at this stage. I lost three days of work and am pretty frustrated at this point. All the tips, and where can I find the Windows activation key?

  Best,

  James

• Microsoft will never ask me to send my Windows license key to them?

  Is there any situation (home or business) where Microsoft send me a Windows license key will be asked? Or such a request will be a scam?

  The only time that Ms will never ask for your key is if you contact them first - and if you ask a question that relates directly to your key (for example, problems with activation)

  MS will normally only ask your product ID - who is not "data personally identifiable" according to the rules, since thousnds of machines may have the same ID.

  NO ONE will be cold-call you and ask for your product key - unless they are crooks.

• I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

  Windows has no

  I had to spend my PC this morning. Moving it, I decided to implement a new network card. When I reconnected it all the cables, I plugged my USB mouse on another USB port where it had been plugged in before. The computer is more than 7 years old and I've never had a problem with the front Windows Validation. I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

  When Windows checks to see if you have moved your copy of Windows to "another computer", among other things, that his focus on the identification of several strands of material in the computer to see if they are different than when Windows was first installed.  I do not remember the list for now, but I remember that the network card is one of the pieces - and IIRC it is 'valuable' higher than others to reach the conclusion.

  You probably other elements has changed over the past seven years and now Windows has decided to have a "new" computer  Assuming that you haven't changed the motherboard - if you had, you would have had this issue at the time wherever you did--your installation is still legal.  Reactivate using your original license key. It should work online, but you will need to call the number that appears in the error message from re - validate.
