  and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features

  To find out which product keys are used:

  Summary

  If you have multiple Windows licenses and have installed but don't know which one is in use, use the following instructions to double check.

  Details

  Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

  User level: beginner to Expert

  If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

  Click Start, type: cmd

  Press enter on your keyboard

  

  At the command prompt, type the following command:

  slmgr - dli

  
  

  Press enter on your keyboard

  

  A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

  For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:

  
  

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click on command prompt

  Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

  Press Windows key + R

  Type: CMD

• No product key for Windows 7 Ultimate on laptop second hand. Windows 8 not compatible. What are the options?

  A friend of mine bought a computer with Windows 7 Ultimate laptop second hand on it and it has not been activated, and it is not a product key (even the old one is worn and unreadable). It was originally a XP system and it cannot be upgraded to Windows 8 because it is not compatible. Is it possible that he could buy a product key so that it is activated and genuine? I don't want him to enter in some affliction, and I feel partly responsible because I was the one who told him to do and was not with him to look over the first! I feel really bad, because it doesn't have a lot of money and I should have been there when it was sold. I have a Windows 7 professional full version box, but I really need for my own system. Are there any alternatives? Please give me some GOOD news because I feel really rotten over this. ) :

  Thank you

  The only alternative would be to buy a license Windows 7 Ultimate full version or a version complete edition cheaper such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and make a custom installation:

  Full version-

  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

  Full version-

  Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

  Apart from that, the only other option would be to contact the computer manufacturer for a Windows XP Recovery disk. Which I doubt they still provide.

• Microsoft Store not to issue new product key for Windows 7 Ultimate, but it is has been fully paid for

  I bought a laptop Sony Viao on 19 October 2012.  This laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional.  I used the ease of upgrade to upgrade Windows at the ultimate addition.

  Since October 19 Microsoft doesn't have to issue a new serial number of the product.  My account status indicates that the order is underway.  It does not help to make a call of support for the call numbers eventually gets cut off, because it seems that the Microsoft call center staff is completely clueless about how to solve my problem.
  They have the audacity to tell me to buy a new update.  When I try to activate I just invited to enter a new product key that the existing key is not valid.
  I'm at the point where I'll try to find a pirated product key, because I WILL NOT BUY a new product key and pay for something that I'm supposed to have.  I put challenge Microsoft to report me to tell them I'll be using a pirated key until they solve this problem.
  For the moment is Microsoft who stole money from me, and I'll just steal it back.
  I tried to get help, but your support infrastructure is just completely and totally unnecessary.

• How to buy some product keys for Win 7 Ultimate SP1 x 86?

  Hi you all,.

  We have a handful of XP Pro SP3 PC to upgrade to Win 7 Pro (or more) x 86. Win 7 Compatibility Checker found no problem with the hardware. I started the first upgrade using a DVD Win 7 Ultimate x 86 retail licensed, but had problems with the DVD. I decided to download the ISO of Win 7 Ultimate x 86 but when I type in the valid product key there is no option to download the ISO in English. Neither the French version was available even if it is of no use to us. Strange; What is the problem?

  Second, is this website legitimate? 'Designed by Microsoft' seems bogus:

  http://www.mskeystore.com/

  Thank you very much and happy holidays.

  This site looks bogus to me.  Thanks for letting us know that I reported.

  Best bet is going to be for 7, family or professional edition regularly seen on Newegg, Tiger Direct and Amazon mainline for $89 and $119.

  These should provide a disc because it is harder to get now, but safer options are considered in step 1 of Clean reinstall Windows 7 .  This tutorial will result in a perfect installation every time, until all steps are followed.

• Where is the product key for Windows vista ultimate?

  I got a windows vista Ultimate edition, about 1 month ago and now when I try to get into windows, the system asket me to fill the product key, but I don't know how I can get this product key, could you help me?

  To install Vista, you need a product key to activate the product and you are given 30 days to go until the system starts to operate with reduced functionality until you activate.  If it came pre-installed, this should not be necessary, but if it is him asking when even then the product key is on a label attached to the side, back, bottom, or inside the laptop case.  It's a code 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes 25-digit alphanumeric (and very small and hard to read).  If you have purchased the product yourself and installed, the key of the product supplied with the product (he was in the box or in the disc holder or may have been sent by electronic mail if the purchase has been download).  You need to talk to the guy who gave you the product (the manufacturer or the seller) to see if they can help you with the product key or the situation.  It is has nothing that we can do to help you with this problem except to tell you where to look and suggest places to contact to get the problem resolved if they are capable or willing.

  I hope this helps.  If not, how do you have Vista Ultimate in the first place (how and where did you bought it)?

  Good luck!

• I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

  * Original title: get the product key

  I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

  Hello

  Your question is not very clear to understand.

  If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

  There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

  How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

  Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

  Try Amazon.com, etc.

  ___________________________________________________________

  And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

  You tell us what type of license you have.

  If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

  License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  Hello

  My Hp Pavilion laptop 2244sa g6 does not come with the product key for windows8. Is this normal? I can't see it anywhere, should I worry?

  Some laptops, like my Envy 17-3002ea loan, have the certificate of authenticity Windows hidden in the compartment where the hard drive and the battery are.  First try.

  Other portable latest and which may include yours, have the Windows license key encrypted in the BIOS.  There is a thread on the Microsoft communities that verifies that. The thread is worth reading.
