  Hello guys,.

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  Your only option is to restore the computer to its original factory condition.

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often 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 Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Hi all, I have reinstalled windows XP.

  Then I followed the instructoin to download a tool of KeyUpdate and I put the product key in my laptop, it saids is not the correct key for windows I use.

  OS version: Windows XP Professional
  Manufacturer: TOSHIBA

  And the product key for my laptop is fine with *-*-*-*-GCFKM.

  Then I download the Windows product key update tool and put in both the product key on the CD and laptop.

  What can I do for this? THX!

  Hello

  I read a few threads about similar problems with the BONE key and the key change has always helped
  Sometimes, Microsoft rates the key of the image as incorrect or not valid. Why? I don't know... it's Microsoft you know ;)

  Fact is that the key on the cover of the CD can only be used to activate the software Microsoft Works or OneNote installed on the laptop. The key is not responsible for the Windows operating system.
  The key that could be used with the Win operating system is placed at the bottom of the unit.

  Well, according to your message you used this key and now I m a bit confused
  I think you should make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to clear this problem

• Where is my Windows XP key?

  Telephone support at HP and M$ was useless on this issue.  Also, filed a case with CV and got some of the canned response and then dismissed my case.  Then I'll try the forums.

  I am trying to create an image for cloning Windows XP in my small office. After you run sysprep, Windows XP requires a product key. The product key of Windows 7 (on the sticker on the PC) does not work. Where is the Windows XP product key that should have come with the computer?

• HP Envy 15-q: I have to disable my Windows product key before moving on to the SSD? (New beginning)

  Was thinking of switching 5400 RPM for the SSD because I feel its too slow way. I was wondering if I need to disable my Windows 10 key before making a new start?

  CasualRisk

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I read your post on your question of activation of Win10 and wanted to help.

  In Win10, the product key is stored in the motherboard UEFI firmware.  Because you're not change that, you risk to disable.

  In addition, the activation key is stored on servers for Activation of MS, and that information are NOT linked to the HARD or SDD drive you are using.  I can say this because once I got Win10 works as I wanted, I migrated there a disk HARD of a DDI and nothing has changed - except the performance is much improved!

  Good luck

• I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

  Windows has no

  I had to spend my PC this morning. Moving it, I decided to implement a new network card. When I reconnected it all the cables, I plugged my USB mouse on another USB port where it had been plugged in before. The computer is more than 7 years old and I've never had a problem with the front Windows Validation. I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

  When Windows checks to see if you have moved your copy of Windows to "another computer", among other things, that his focus on the identification of several strands of material in the computer to see if they are different than when Windows was first installed.  I do not remember the list for now, but I remember that the network card is one of the pieces - and IIRC it is 'valuable' higher than others to reach the conclusion.

  You probably other elements has changed over the past seven years and now Windows has decided to have a "new" computer  Assuming that you haven't changed the motherboard - if you had, you would have had this issue at the time wherever you did--your installation is still legal.  Reactivate using your original license key. It should work online, but you will need to call the number that appears in the error message from re - validate.

  Since it is an OEM version that the 3rd party "key finders" will not help you. Don't bother to google for them.

  The only solution is to call the manufacturer of your computer...

  1. tell them your situation and see if they can help on the key issue of product.
  2. If they say "can't", ask them to send you a set od recovery disks. " THS cost is minimal and the money will be well spent. The game will save your computer when the computer breaks down.

  3. at the same time, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person if he or she can teach you how to access the recovery Partition and how to use it to restore the system.

  Suggestion #2 and #3 do NOT require the use of the product key.

  When I install a preinstalled (OEM) or the retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 Windows 10 license, this license OEM to remain or become a retail license?

  If you upgrade an OEM or retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 for the free Windows 10 update this summer, the license is consumed in it. Because the free update is derived from the basic qualification license, Windows 10 will be that too many licenses.

  If you are upgrading a retail version, it carries the rights to a commercial version.

  If you upgrade an OEM version, it carries the rights of an OEM version.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM of Windows versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  What happens if I change my motherboard?

  This would cancel the upgrade of Windows 10 license because he no longer a previous eligible license, which is required for the free update. Then, you will need to purchase a Windows 10 full retail license.

• Need help with Windows 7 key.

  I have a laptop that I had to change the HARD drive due to a complete failure.  I had a Windows 7 key I know has been good and have never used, purchased as part of a package of pc 3.   Now the installation tells me that this is not a valid key.  I paid almost $150.00 for this set of 3 installs for Windows 7, about 5 years ago.

  The old HDD is dead, I tried to connect with a USB key and nothing.   The laptop was working fine with WIndows 10, then the portable HARD drive is simply dead.  I need help with a new key, or at least the one I have to work.  The new drive HARD won't have not all partitions or any attached former windows key.  I can't get past the check of Windows screen.

  Need help please.

• Reinstalling windows - activation key has expired?

  We bought a desktop dell computer about 1 1/2 to 2 years with pre-installed windows 7 Home premium. He broke, but some parts were always good. We bought a new Acer with preinstalled Windows 8 office which I didn't like. Also, the hard drive of the Dell printer was bigger. The intention was to simply pass on the disks, so Acer would have a bigger disk and Windows 7. It wouldn't boot correctly, so we reinstalled Windows 7 by using a disk image, downloaded from Microsoft and product key that was stuck on the Dell. Finally, we sold the Dell a guy on Craigslist. We had signed up everything except the motherboard, processor and power supply. As we took off the Windows 7 product key sticker. Acer has worked well and never mentioned anything on Windows is not genuine not. He remained off the coast for a few weeks. I turned today and it installs the updates on start up. The login screen normally shows and I connect. The desktop appears in black with 3 lines of text in the corner:

  Windows 7

  Build 7601

  This copy of Windows is not genuine

  There is a window in the middle of the screen that says

  Activate Windows now

  The activation period has expired

  It gives two options:

  Activate now

  Ask me later

  At this stage there is no start bar or the desktop icons as if windows Explorer has not yet begun.

  About 2 to 3 minutes later the paper in his arrives and the start bar and the desktop icons appear. The window "Activate Windows now" disappears also.

  Another window appears which says:

  Update optional delivery does not work

  You may be victim of software counterfeiting.

  I tried not to get my key or whatever it is in fear that it could be a virus.

  What is going on? There may be remnants of the key somewhere on the case of dell outside the sticker? What should I do?

• Can I swop windows 7 keys between 2 PCs as well as exchanging the discs?

  I have built two PC with 2 separate keys for copies of inW7 HP OEM 64-bit enabled.

  But I realized I built upside down--the fast motherboard has the slow disk and vice versa.
  To save the reinstallation, I thought simply exchanging the discs of C two, but I know that the windows license key, which is engraved on each disc C, is linked to the motherboard.
  Thus, it will be the wrong key for the motherboard.
  I would still be able to swop drives, start Windows and quickly put in the right key for each motherboard?
  Or windows will refuse the start up & let me because for a moment I'd be using the combination of the wrong key/motherboard?
  Thank you
