Where to find Windows 8 key of my XPS 8500 for reinstalled
Hello
I bought a new dell XPS 8500 and came with preinstalled Windows 8.
But in other to get a copy of Windows 8 Microsoft backup, I need to find that key
(Usually, the Office have a sticker with the key has written on this subject, but one I got everything on its surface have...)
Is that the key is stored somewhere on the computer, or either, I need to disassemble the Office to search inside?
Thank you
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
Just reply in case you have any other questions.

Where to find the product key on the Windows operating system?
Can someone tell me where to find the product key for my windows operating system?

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).

Where is my Windows XP key?

where to find and use the (HCL) hardware compatibility list for Windows xp3
Original title: where to find and use the Windows (HCL) hardware compatibility list
HCL for Windows xp3
That does not "response" from MS Support Engineer Umesh was particularly useless.
Unfortunately for you, the HCL XP (or Windows Catalog or Windows Marketplace or whatever it is renamed) no longer exists. I guess Microsoft is not particularly interested in letting you know what the material is compatible with an operating system that is no longer, it sells and supports only.
The trail begins here: "the latest Windows XP Hardware Compatibility List" (314062 KB) that leads to theWindows 7 Compatibility Center. KB 314062 is also linked to the http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/ which used to have a list of compatible with XP hardware and software, but now redirects to the Microsoft store, another dead end that XP is concerned.
If you really want to dig, your best bet is probably used the Wayback Machine (archive.org) looking for old copies of
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx - but a lot of links are broken or "not supported" unless you use Internet Explorer 6 (the message claims 6 'or more' but 8 does not work). -
where to find windows vista 32 bit OEM Toshiba Portege laptop
I need the OEM version of windows Vista 32 bit for Toshiba Portege M750 - 10G.
Hello
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
With a Toshiba, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the ro process of factory of the recovery Partition recovery.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

Satellite L650 - where to find the product key for Microsoft Office?
Hello
I just bought the Toshiba Satellite L650.I started using Word (Microsoft Office) but its tells me that I need a 25 character key, otherwise I can only use another 22 times.
Where can I get this key since I have nothing in the box your laptop came or have I been fooled into thinking it is bundled with the computer when it is not in fact and they only gave me a trial version?See you soon
Hey,.
You're right partner, only a trial version of Microsoft Office is preinstalled. If you want the full version of Microsoft Office, you will need to buy it in a store of the computer.
An alternative, you can use the free OpenOffice. It s also very good software with a lot of function but it s for free. ;)

My understanding is that I will lose all my data. I bought Office for more than a year and have no idea where/how to find the key. My concern is when I update to Windows 7, I won't be able to access Office 2007.

Portege Z10T-A140: can I make to Win 8.1 and where to find the serial key
Hello
I have Z10T-A140.When I check the part number in the link: http://www.toshibamea.com/en/Compatibility-Matrix-8-1?SerialNo=pt131v-00h005ar
told me is not compatible with win 8.1.
but to under writing the page, it is compatible with win 8.1.
Why the result is different?
Another question:
I can't have my serial number of Windows 8 and I can only see last 5 digit number.
If my clear HARD drive and I need full new install winodws 8, where can I find my serial number for Windows 8.1?Thank you.
> Why the result is different?
Your laptop is a PT131V-00H005AR Portege Z10T-A140
Of course, it s 8.1 Windows extensible and taken in charge.
On the page of supported Windows update 8.1 models, you can find the Portege Z10T PT131V.> Other my question:
> I can't get my serial number of Windows 8 and I can only see last 5 digit number.
> If my clear HARD drive and I need full new install windows 8, where can I find my serial number for Windows 8.1?I recommend reading the user manual. You will find information on the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
The recovery media Creator allows you to create a recovery disk. This disc install again the image of Toshiba on the laptop. The serial key is not necessary because the Windows 8 will be activated automatically using Toshiba image.
