• Tablet Lenovo suddenly will not activate windows or accept a microsoft account that has been registered in.

  I'm having a hard time to get back to a windows device.  I have a Lenovo tablet which has a Windows8 full version on it.  I have not used in a few months and went to use it the other day.  It does not connect to my account a single drive then it does not recognize the microsoft account which was signed in, and then it would not turn on the windows account.  I restored and still will not activate.  I can't get any phone support which is very frustrating.  Please help me understand what is happening.  It worked months ago but now I want to upgrade to 10 and use it, but it's useless if she won't turn on.

  You can check the product key Windows 8 embedded by installing and running ProduKey.  It will be displayed as a key OEM BIOS which can be separated from the default key of Windows 8 as shown.

  When you know for sure this key exists, you can Install Clean Windows 10 Upgrade skip the product key during the installation, and then activate directly with windows 8 product key embedded as explained in the FAQ 1511 Version activation in Windows 10 .

  This will be a facility infinitely better and save a lot of time struggling with the activation of Windows 8, then move again to Windows 8.1 in order to lower quality 10 Windows upgrade.

  To reinstall Vista.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery discs, IF it is still available.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  ___________________________________

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought 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.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  ___________________________________

  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:

  I have recently (a few weeks ago) installed a new card mother and CPU, and now my copy of Windows Vista Edition basic family is "not authentic". I tried to enter the product key, and it comes back as invalid.

  A new motherboard is considered to be a new computer.

  The product key that is connected to the computer applies only to the "old" motherboard It does not apply to the new motherboard.

• Home PC will not boot Windows Vista after updating sound card drivers.

  Okay, so I built a brand new pc last night. A worked like a charm, perfectly executed and all. Installed a new sound card, opened it and a few minutes put in my computer, install the drivers and had it works perfectly. Windows loaded perfectly, no problem at all anywhere. Then I'll update the drivers for the sound card, a large download but he finished. He was trying to install the drivers, then while he was, I've been on google chrome on facebook and then randomly, I lost the internet connection. My receiver wifi for my computer was fine and turned on and running great, but for some reason any my computer does not pick up a signal even if all my other devices don't. When the drivers have been installed and the updates are finished, I rebooted my computer.

  Problems from there. I turned the computer back and tried to boot windows, but computer science got to the vista loading screen and then resets. He made several times. So I tried to boot into the last known good configuration. I spent the loading screen, then a flashed blue screen with a bunch of words and he said something along the lines of "Windows has encountered an error", but disappeared in literally one second about. Then the computer shuts down. Since then whenever I try to start in windows, I don't yet get to the loading screen, any choice I use to try to start in windows, no work. When I choose one my computer just is a black screen. It loads the bios very well and everything works great but the OS is the question.

  Any suggestions?

• Is impossible to activate windows vista business on my computer refurbished.

  I bought a computer refurbished of the auction to complete school with Windows Vista Professional is installed and running. After 2 months, he started to give me a msg of error indicating that the volume had expired or something like that. Now Windows will not work and all my attempts to reactivate it failed. The product key on the device gives me only a a new error code 0x8007267C, and tells me that I need a key to the company to enable it. I use another laptop to convey what the news is unusable. Any suggestions?

  You cannot use a key Home base to activate an installation of the company.

  You need to reinstall the OS using the recovery media for your machine - if you do not, you should be able to order from the manufacturer.

• HP14: HP/OEM Windows 8.1 disks will not activate Windows

  Hello

  Hello:

  I don't know why HP recovery disks do not work.  It should have been without having to activate the installation.

  However, if the W10 worked fine on your PC, and it had been previously activated, you can reinstall W10 without going through the process of upgrading again.

  Make installation W10 DVD or USB stick from the link below...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

  When you install W10, you will be asked to enter a product key (you do not have) and there will be a selection "I don't have a product key.

  You choose the option "I don't have a product key", W10 will install and once you are reconnected to the internet, it will activate automatically as Microsoft has a folder that your PC is already legally upgraded to W10.

• Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.

  Hello

  I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop.  The HARD drive failed and the system unusable.  I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media.  The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.

  The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid.  I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.

  I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  you use an OEM SLP key that only works with the manufacturers recovery media.

  change the product key to that on computers of COA
  Click Start, type slui3, press ENTER.

  Additional information:

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  Everything worked fine on my PC.  Then the other day, he crashed and said there is a disk error and to analyze the entire disk to find the error. He finished scanning, but windows 8.1 would charge not successfully.  This is why I made an update of the system through HP recovery.  After having done that, windows should start normally, but I lost my activation.  When I tried to activate the answer has been ' key does not work try again later "or something like that.  Kept by train, no luck.  I thought it might have been an error with the update system, so I did the total system reset (after registration of personal data).  Now, I have the same problem with the activation and if I try to navigate in the normal way to activating the screen, the screen disappears.  I can get to the activation by using the command line.   but the key still does not work.  The key that I use I extract from my BIOS data.  Also, I ran the update and reset to the original hard disk partition.
