win8.1 product key

Hello, I have CND4305N82 of hp laptop 15 on which the warranty has expired.  The hard drive is damaged and I bought a replacement.  I need to reinstall Windows 8 but could not find the product key.  I can't find a tag anywhere on the machine, or on the box or accompanying documents.  Question the original hard drive is no longer an option.  Can someone tell me where to find the product key, please?

Hello:

Unfortunately, there's not a place I know where you can download a legal OEM of W8.1.

You will need to order a set of recovery disc for your model by contacting HP for the country that you live in the link below.

  • Satellite C870-1JV - how to get the product key of Windows 8?

    Hello people

    Is there a way to find the product key windows 8 that was originally installed on the laptop that my laptop is not the windows sticker anywhere. I reinstalled windows once I deleted the partition by accident and now its asking me for the product key which I do not know.

    As far as I know, product key used on the original recovery image can be used if you use the version of the OS. Even with the key to the sticker, you cannot enable clean version.

    If you want to have the original version of Win8 (Toshiba recovery image) you must order the Toshiba restore disk and you can do it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • C70-B-11 satellite - re - INSTALL Win7 OS (no product key/CD provided)

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba C70-B-111 that came with the system of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit pre-installed. For some reason (for example, there is that one big C: drive, the demo software I have really not the type to use etc.) I want to reinstall the operating system by myself.

    Now I'm in the dilemma that I only got the Win8 upgrade DVD, and there is only a Windows 8 Pro sticker on the back of the unit. I can go get a Win7 Pro CD somewhere, but what product key required to install Windows and successfully complete activation (if necessary).

    Thanks for any help
    LAETITIA

    In case you want to install the new OS system (without the use of the Toshiba Recovery disk) you must use a Microsoft (or image file) installation disc and the license key belonging to this system.

    The Toshiba key that you will find at the bottom of the device is useless, since it is an OEM key that belongs to the system of recovery and this key does not work in the context of other systems.

  • Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

    I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

    Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

    Lenovo ThinkPad T450

    Model: 20BV00BUS

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

    RAM: 4 GB

    Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

    Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

    Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

    A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

    I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

    This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

    The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

    Kind regards

    Victor L.

    Hi Victor,

    I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

    We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

    To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

    Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

    (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

    Select Start,

    Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

    If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards, Max.

  • Windows 10 clean install - need product key

    I bought a G70-70 last week and I would like to do a clean install of Windows 10. Before diving, I set up a dual boot with the 8.1 existing. During the Win 10 install it twice asked for a product key, but also allowed the installation to continue. I now have a working win 10, but he says that it requires activation. In the activation screen, it says I have an existing product key of *-8HVX7, but the details of the error show ' 0xC004C003 - the activation server determined that the specified product key has been blocked "."

    "I tried to use Magic Jelly Bean to get the product key existing under 8.1, but if I get it it gives an error code of ' 0xc004f050 - invalid product key.

    When I bought the laptop it says she is ready for Windows 10 and I expect an update would probably work, but I would like to start with a clean install.

    You must first upgrade your installation windows 8.1 for Windows 10. This also increases your key win8.1 to win10. After that, you can cleanly reinstall Win10 without any problem. Just make sure that the upgrade of Win10 have been activated.

    I've now upgraded a for my G70-70 of my own Win8.1 installed to Win10, through the upgrade of Windows Update & it but went well. The only thing I used to do was install the latest nVidia drivers.

  • Y3P Win10 reinstall with the original MS OS. Product keys and how to do it?

    Hello

    I got a new Y3P. First I updated to Win 8.1 installed to Win10. It seems that I'm not able to run some Adobe programs and overall (probably because of all this that awful bloatware) it seems that my OS might be corrupted somehow (even if the laptop and win10 are new).

    What is the best way to do a win10 clean install. Where can I get product keys of (I bought the laptop with win8.1)?

    Thank you for your ideas!

    I have not personally made it, but apparently the activation is managed side of Microsoft, using your hardware ID to activate, instead of a local product key:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-clean-install-Windows-10/

    Thus, the better will be to use MS media creation tool to create a floppy / USB drive:

    HP Pavilion 15 Windows 8 e030eo-> 8.1 update process

    HP support gave me the right explanation for this mess,
    pointing to the direction of Microsoft heavily.
    It's the whole process:

    The laptop unpacking and setting up.
    Begin the installation of the updates of win8, 95 of them.
    System starts to install, reboots and starts to undo the updates.
    So I ran diagnostics from the BIOS, everything is OK
    Restoration of the laptop to the factory via F11 settings
    From updates again, only 5 at the time.
    Many updates ended up with erros and MS-Its made were
    loaded and run several times and restarts each time.
    Finally, both even 20 updates were installed successfully.

    With the help of Windows Store updated the system to Win 8.1.
    But there is no way to enable that.

    Support for HP asked me to restore the system by selecting
    settings at the corner of right on the screen,
    and selecting the update / restore-> restore (without
    destroy the files users) sorry I use the Finnish language version
    and do not know requires it English.
    It took awhile, but finally the uo started system
    with windows 8.
    Once again the disorder even with updates and through the win store to Win 8.1

    This activation time managed automatically, and
    the system is running.

    I noticed that during the update/restore treats windows
    License number changed somehow to win 8.1 license.

    It was a long and timely process, but according to HP support
    It is the way in which Microsoft requires us to do.

    Hello

    Please find the link below for your laptop product specifications

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03711796

    The laptop came with a Windows 8 OS 64-bit and if you have some problems to install a retail version of the operating system on your laptop, what I would say is for you to call the HP technical support and order a recovery disc that can cost you between $ 30-40 and all you have to do is install it does not require a product key.

  • Product key Windows 8 should be not BIOS-based on new laptops from Dell?

    Hello

    My brother-in-law had a HD failure in his Win8 Inspiron 14z laptop. It had not generated the recovery DVDs.

    I replaced with a new HD sound and used the Dell recovery DVDs on my daughter, I created 14z to restore with the Windows 8 factory image (no preserved user data).

    His laptop started successfully to the State "new", and is now installing windows 136 updates.

    I fear, however, because although on 'System', he does say that Windows is activated, the product ID is identical to my daughter 14z, and on the details 'activation', the last 5 characters of the product key shown are also the same.

    Is this good? I wasn't expecting the recovery DVD Dell would be the product key; I assumed that Windows would he get from the BIOS.

    Is there a way to "turn off" Windows and use the key to the BIOS?

    Thank you!
