Windows 7 certificate of authenticity missing

Last month, I bought a new awareness of Lenovo t410. The OS is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Recently, I noticed that I can't find anywhere a certificate of authenticity of Windows on the t410. The only mention of Windows 7 is the small square decal that says just Windows 7 located near the lower left hand of the keyboard. When I installed Microsoft Security Essentials tested for Windows installation procedure "authentic" and is complaint not (and was installing MSE), so I'm not worried about it. However, it was my understanding that I should have a sticker C of A. do I right about that? If I'm wrong, I guess I should be contact Lenovo support? Thank you.

Have you removed the battery and looked into the battery compartment?

See you soon,.

Windows 8 will be ignited automatically the first time that the computer is connected to the Internet. With systems activated by OA3, most of the computer's hardware can be replaced without the need to reactivate the software from Microsoft.

  • Certificate of authenticity will work after you install the new copy of Windows 7 64-bit?

    * Original title: COA

    Hi all

    I bought a used Dell laptop which still has its COA on the bottom of the unit.  Apparently the device was installed with Win 7 when new.  I would like to install a new copy of Win 7 64 bit, but would not know if the COST I would work since there is no information if the original installation is 32-bit or 64-bit.   Thanks for any information you could share with me.

    The COA will work as long you have correspondent reinstall media:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  • certificate of Authenticity number

    Hello

    Certificate of authenticity Label has faded. I can't read the number more, unfortunately when I bought the laptop, I didn't know that this number was important, that I saved only the product key

    Microsoft told me to contact HP for that. nobody at hp has no idea where to find where that contact.

    f.y.i: currently my disks are formatted. I hope that HP will restore using the recovery disks, that they will carry out. I don't know if the COST would be somewhere on the sytem after finishing because it's standard discs that they will send.

    Kind regards

    Faraz

    Hello

    I'm assuming from your previous posts, that you intend to reinstall Windows 7.

    If it is correct and you use HP recovery media, you will not need to enter the key of your COA label - once installation is complete, Windows will automatically activate via a license table (slic) of the software on the chip bios and embedded security certificate.

    Kind regards

  • Tried to repair XP, cannot find the certificate of authenticity but have product IDS

    I tried to repair my Windows XP.  Have the drive and the product ID (T8GTV-8VDJK-KMF92-63F4K-P3JJH) that came on the file supplied with the disc.  ID does not work.  Says I need a certificate of Authenticity number.  I have a blank card that says that the COA has been removed by the PC manufacturer and should be attached to the PC.  Can't find it.  Now I'm stuck in the installation program, and the PC is useless.  Not good Microsoft! Need activation ID!

    I did the repair option.  He asks the ID of product key does not work.  Now, he does nothing but try to go in the installation program.  I can try to switch to Windows 7, but who knows if it will work with the PC stuck in installing XP now.

    Installation of Windows 7 should not be a problem even if you have not completed the installation of Xp. However, you can run KillDisk or another disk utility wipe first. Download the version of the iso bootable.

  • Certificate of authenticity (COA)

    Recently completed and automatic Windows Update on my computer.  Apparently there was a mistake in the system and the corrupt my computer upgrade.  Technology has to reinstall the operating system, but it cannot read the certificate of authenticity (COA) at the bottom of my computer because it is badly faded.  How can I get a copy of the COA in order to reinstall the operating system?

    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.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
