• lost my product key and need help

  My computer has a very big problem on Monday, which I was not able to do the system restore.   So I call sony for help because it comes from was I brought my computer with vista installed.  They were unable to do system restore, they put it back to the factory setting.  Now no one at Sony is ready to help.  I had to deal with three very 'ROUGH' REPS at sony.   The problem is that I can't find my product key and they will not help you in obtaining microsoft vista started for me.  I learned that I have to go to someone at microsoft on my problem.  Is it possible that you can help me.  If I am mistaken I think I register my product with microsoft when I received it.  SO, please help me.  Thank you.

  Hi BrookeLynn,

  Thanks for posting. If your PC is an OEM which means that Dell, HP, IBM or another company, you will need to contact them to get a replacement disk or key you may need.

  I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

• Product key and installed program do not match windows 7 Home premium

  I bought a new Dell laptop and it came with windows 7 home premium installed and a diskette of drivers and every time I wonder to record the product key it tells me that it is not the key.  I'm going by what is on the label, and I think that I don't have to buy another key product or program windows 7 because I have both and the older two of 10 months.  Now my computer tells me I have windows which is not authentic and my screen is black. What should I do?

  On laptops from Dell, you find the product key in the compartment to batteries.

  Click Start, right click computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click on the link change product key

  Enter the product key located on the COA sticker at the bottom of the laptop and click next to activate via the Internet.

• Z220 CMT: firmware Win 8 factory 7 and install new boot disks (RAID 1)

  My Z220 came with the copy of Win 7 Pro/64-bit factory-loaded, lowered to win 8. The supplied HD is just a Seagate 500 MB to 6 MB/s SATA drive.

  I want to change my boot disks for a pair of WD series RE 1 TB disks in a RAID1 configuration.

  The 220 came with a series of restore disks: disks of recovery system 1,2 and 3 for Win 7 and a DVD of recovery Driver for WIn7 and WIn8, as long as the DVD of the operating system - Windows 8 Pro.

  So, if I install the pair of RAID array using the Intel RAID software, can I then use CD Win7 game to restore the Win7 system to the new RAID array? Is there a potential problem of activation here?

  My other idea was to use Clonezilla to clone the current Win7 system on the RAID array, but I don't know if it will work, as the discs in question are not the same...

  If you look at your partitions on the disk HP of the computer/manage/storage/disk management you should see a hidden partition which you can draw the active OS itself and also to make an installation USB or CD/DVD set.  But you already have those in hand, I believe.

  The restore thing can be confusing.  What I would do, is get a stunt or set of disks drive and start experimenting.  One of the disks is an "Activator" disc which you start with, and it gives you instructions as you go along with a clean installation, including installation RAID or simple installation on hard/SSD options.  Just keep your 500 GB out of the workstation and work with the readers of stunt.  For those, I liked the 80 GB WD Velociraptors... two correspondent off eBay are cheap, and they are quick to reformat/load/erase.  It will start to make sense fairly quickly.  For RAID works, you can experiment on 2 160 GB drives, but a full install of W7 with Office 2007 is less than 45 GB.  You just start from this first optical disc and start digging.

  The thing about the COA... When you perform a clean discs HP restore, as if your HP hard drive has failed, the process puts on a HP OEM COA serial number that is different from what is on your COA sticker.  For example, you can clone a facility and it will work on an another Z220 CMT without activation.  It checks only the BIOS of the workstation to make sure that it is a legal installation.  If you try the same thing with a W7Pro64 OEM System Builder build the clone will work but will recognize that this isn't the same job that it has been installed on original and you give a few days to feed another series of COA number.

  A clone must come from the installation of restore HP OEM with the internal controls of HP and OEM HP serial number to make it work on another box without activation problems.  Stick to right side of things and you'll be fine.

• Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it?

  Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it. I found a Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and downloaded so I can install it. on my computer, I have the key, but no CD.

  Vista is now at the SP2 level.

  No public download free "legal" of any MS OS does exist, with the exception of trial versions.

  Anything you download from a public site carries the risk of associated malware that can be hidden in the facility and is to be avoided like the plague, it may turn out be a carrier.

  You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

  If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

  It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

• My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

  My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

  Hello

  You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

  If you do, 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.

  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.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  See you soon.

• I lost my product key. Need help in the activation of Windows 7

  I lost my product key and can not activate my system to 32-bit windows 7 Home premium for activation. I have a HP desktop computer and I need a usable product key, someone can help me.

  Issue edited by the moderator to add clarity.* *.

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

• Difference between Windows 7 Product Key and product I.D.

  Bought the new laptop HP with Win7 Home Premium installed. During the initial install verified box to authenticate when online. Never entered my product key and now two weeks later, curious to know if my windows has been authenticated. Went to the computer/properties/system to enter my key and Windows Activation:
   
  Windows is activated
  XX xxx xxxxx-oem-xxxxxxx product I.D.

  Product number I.D. is different from my tag Windows key on my pc.

  My question is if my Win7 has been authenticated or what I need to do something else to avoid problems after 30 days. Thanks to advnce.

  Nothing to worry about.  Major computer manufacturers install an image of Windows 7 using a special product key which is linked to the BIOS of the motherboard. The certificate of authenticity (COA) affixed to your computer is there to attest that the Windows 7 operating system is installed. Carey Frisch

  I bought windows 7 last year and now I've lost my product key to activate windows... can I recover my product key... Help, please

  If it is a copy of the retail of Windows 7 you have purchased and installed yourself, then see the Belarc found a retail product key, unless you don't have the key at all when you installed everything first he.

  If you don't have the product key that you execute by using just the default key, then you have to find your product key and enter it.
