Where is the Windows product key? -Omni HP 10

ID like to play with custom creation 'lite' Windows 8.1 installed to maximize disk space and then when I get it to where I want it to be I'll activate Windows again.  In general, computers and Office Mobile have the authentic sticker on the case or the battery compartment but there are none that are on the shelf (fortunately cause that would be ugly). Documents prodcut has only the license for Office 2013. How would I go about activating Windows when the time comes?

Hi P2iM3. I understand you want to experiement with various options of Windows installation.

Product activation Windows 8
"A digital product key (DPK) is installed on the motherboard BIOS during the manufacturing process. Windows 8 will be ignited automatically the first time that the computer is connected to the Internet. "

You would have to buy a version of Windows to 'customize' your facilities.

    Thanks in advance

    You can extend the activation period of 30 days by running slmgr /rearm since the Admin command prompt.

    Then take a picture of your COA sticker with your phone, blow as large as possible to try to detect all the characters input for Activation.  You can also use a magnifying glass.

    If you can not use the key to product then you will need to either the order of the restoration of the factory of the manufacturer of your PC media, or if you have a C:\windows.old folder you can try to reinstall the factory to SLP activation file.  However we do not support this so you will need to search on your own.

  • The Windows product key sticker has disappeared and cannot use it to activate

    Windows product key sticker is missing at the bottom of my laptop and I can't do some of the latest figures, my laptop computer manufacturer did not provide any hardware Windows 7 or a disk and I contacted them and they won't help. My windows 7 is actually owner I have the sticker on the bottom of my laptop as evidence, can I send this to microsoft to help out me? also note, I had problems with my laptop and realizing that the hard drive has indeed not my old windows 7 installed and the hard drive is faulty, it cannot be extracted, that is the reason why I have a problem.

    your manufacturer would have provided a recovery partition on your hard drive to recover windows. If your hard disk does not and you can't read your key, you will probably need to order from your manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (no key needed, because the OEM SLP key is embedded).

    Try a bright light and a good magnifying glass to read your product key.

  • Half of the Windows product key is very difficult to read. Can I call Microsoft to change my product for free key

    One of the computer in our office could not start. After all troubleshooting - I ended up doing the reinstallation of the OS - but the thumbnail of my product key at the bottom of the laptop is so blurry. Can I call Microsoft and get the free product key exchange?

    No, they will not offer it. How can they prove that you are entitled to it?

    Recovery plant, using the partition HD or the manufacturer disks you generated when you 1st got the laptop do not require a key, because it's built. Some manufacturers may provide this disk set at a cost.

    Very rarely the manufacturers will be keeping a record of the key that they provided with the laptop and that provide a proof of purchase.

    Computers HP isn't a product key. When you first buy the computer operating system is already built into the motherboard (OEM). If in any case, that you have upgraded your operating system windows 10 and it asks for a product key. There could be a problem in your operating system while you perform an upgrade.

  • Where is the XP product key in the registry

    My question is: WHERE is the product key in the registry?

    I already changed the registered user name.  They had 'user' that the registered owner.  Grrr...  Idiots, they knew my name!
    (All right, so I'm picky on my computer...)

    Thank you
    Katie

    I'm not really sure that the key is maintained in the registry.  According to KB938720, the product ID (not the key) is in the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductID is

    But I have read several articles this claim do not revalidate on the same machine, if you copy the

    C:\Windows\System32\wpa.dbl

    of the file before you reinstall, then replace this file after reinstalling windows.  This would mean that the key can be incorporated into this file somewhere.  There are several freeware programs that will dig your key and post it for you.  These include "keyfinder" and "Belarc Advisor".

  • Find the Windows product key (Acer Aspire 54T 1-471 T - R3)

    I had Windows 8 when I bought this laptop. I have upgraded to Windows 10 later. Recently, the laptop gave trouble when installing an update Windows 10 (specifically KB3172729). Right now, it does boot to Windows at all and I'm looking to do a clean install of Windows 10. The problem is that I don't have the key. Is it possible to find the key for Windows 8/8.1/10?

    (a) it may be possible that the OEM key is embedded in the system BIOS of the laptop that can enroll in a new installation of eitehr o/s. If you went with the charging OF THE SAME PRODUCT VERSION as it was delivered on your laptop, the registration must be done automatically

    (b) If you have opted for a different version of prodcut is an upgrade, if can pick up your key (from BIOS) as part of the upgrade process

    (c) If you can get the operating system to start, even in "safe mode" so that you reach a CMD command prompt, you can run CMD as administrator and enter the command:

    WMIC path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey

    which will display the key OEM so you can keep in your records.

  • What to do with "the windows product key 7 you typed is invalid for activation?

    Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read this.
    Long story short, I got this error message after wearing my PC repair (we have installed a new HARD drive).
    My VALID product key does not work and says that he cannot be saved. It is also not to give me a phone option to contact microsoft.
    Any suggestions here?
    A friend suggested it might be because the old HDD with windows always on this subject is always connected to this computer. (I have not formatted the old HARD drive yet, I still have to move some files before that).
    My apologies, I guess it could be something simple, but I don't know what else to do. Even the computer repair guy said there is usually a phone option to activate.
    I even downloaded the software of Microsoft verification and he told me that my copy of windows is legitimate.
    Someone at - it suggestions?

    Thanks for your time,
    Daniel

    George thank you very much for your answer.

    So basically what you're saying, is if there is a material change which includes the motherboard you have to buy new windows?

    If this is the case then I have no choice but I've searched for most of the night trying to find solutions which included even to buy a new key and I couldn't even buy a?

    My hypothesis is that now that windows 8 is out, the only way to get one is to send a mail?

    Whatever it is, can someone point me in the right direction?
    Sorry, I would say that my technical knowledge is about enough to get, so thank you all for understanding and helpful, much appreciated because I couldn't even get a phone number.
