Where to find the key to product windows8

Hello.

About 6 months ago I bought a laptop HP PRO with windows 7 pre-installed.

I had to format the hard drive and I installed windows 8, since it was only systems of the upcoming device with the PC on the DVD.

Now, a few months later, windows application for registration. He asks me for the product key, but I don't know where to find it. There is no useful number on the DVD cover, and I couldn't find any stick under the laptop.

What can I do?

Thank you.

This is NOT official HP customer service and I, like most other people on this forum do not work for HP. It is a forum for users of peer-to-peer supported for class for the HP consumer products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum and it is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity. No response from an employee of HP represents his own opinion and not that of HP.

Your computer has probably shipped with Windows 7 Pro installed from the factory and a set of Windows 8/8.1 Pro restore disks. This is a common configuration for computers in the company. Before using the Windows 8/8.1 disks, you must have created a set of restore disks Windows 7.

OEM computers that are provided with Windows 8/8.1 is no longer containing a Microsoft COA with the product key. Instead, the key is encrypted and integrated into the BIOS/CMOS.

It seems that you have a class computer business, your question can better answer in the HP Enterprise Business Community. It is also possible to contact the HP Business Support Center for assistance with your question.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    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).

    What kind of file is it? What is its extension (the characters
    After the dot at the end of the file name)? And what program is trying
    to open it and needs a product key?

    Please answer these questions, but I'll also venture a guess: you
    try to open a file with Microsoft Word and Word .docx or .doc
    request a product key.
    If this is the case, in all probability, your computer comes with a trial version
    version of Microsoft Office pre-installed. Your trial period is now in place and if
    you want to continue using it, you must buy a copy and get a
    product key for this.

  • How to find the key

    Is there a quick way to find the key of a song or instrumental that has been imported to the logic?

    No, you need a little music for this. I guess you could find it difficult to play with a keyboard and hear/guess the agreements/key?

    Here would be my suggestion for a workaround - if it is an entire song, as you indicate in your question:

    -To get agreements on a Web site

    -See if you can find the original version of keys (that would be easy, right?)

    - Then play these chords along your song imported. If they sound not right, transpose your up and down by steps MIDI track until it sounds right. -> Get your agreements and the key.

    If your song doesn't have agreements to seek, find parts of the song where you lift clear of bass notes (not too much battery), EQ everything, taking Tuner in pop in the track and see if you can pick up the dominant notes. That should lead you to your key of song.

  • Where to find the correct SHA1 checksum for the upgrade Pro Windows 8 ISO?

    I ordered the Windows 8 Pro upgrade online.  (not a preview but the new product on 26/10/12).  I downloaded and burned the ISO of the English version of the Windows 8 ISO file.  I'm assuming that 64-bit. This took place without incident.  I started the upgrade on a PC running Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, but it failed during the installation phase of Windows 8 to 72% with the error "installing Windows 8 failed".

    So I restarted the upgrade and it has not exactly in the same place (72%) and the same cryptic error.
    So I contacted the Microsoft Store and they helped me to go through the process of downloading a 2nd time.  The 2nd ISO file was exactly the same size, BUT it had a different SHA1 checksum!
    Then I tried the upgrade using the new DVD burned in the 2nd ISO file and it failed at exactly at the same stage of the upgrade (72%).
    So I got two corrupt downloads / Burns?   I have no way to tell because all I know is that they have different amounts of control.
    Maybe they all are both wrong, or maybe the question is something else entirely.
    But first things first.   How can I determine if my ISO file is correct?
    What is the checksum SHA1 of a non-corrupt ISO file?    Where to find the information online?

    I have the same problem with my 64-bit windows English version.

    I created a bootable DVD from iso and started to install a clean install by formatting the hard drive.
    Installation will be stuck at 17% and it happened to me like 3 times and I burned a fresh DVD and always the same question.
    It's like the worst level ever... Is there a way I can download an iso of 64-bit bootable DVD and use it to upgrade?
