Windows 7 OEM itself activated after update

My HP laptop was purchased in September 2010 and I did a windows update yesterday and its lost its settings in windows 7.  Wants a code for activation but the sticker dissipated.  If I contact someone with prrof of purchase to find the code?  I have all the packages and original invoices.

Try to do a restore of the system before you start, facing this problem.

How do I Do a System restore in Windows 7 or Windows Vista ...

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 HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    I have a spare Windows 7 OEM key, I bought several years for construction of the computer, but ended up never activate. I kept it in a journal of all keys that, over time, I bought, but I don't have the disks.

  • Windows 7 OEM re-activation with re-replacement HD

    My current hard drive is in strange and I would replace it temporarily all trying to fix it.  I have two questions:

    (1) I'll be able to activate my Windows 7 OEM new temporary hard disk?

    and especially:

    (2) if I am able to activate Windows on the new drive, I'll be able to put my original hard drive, once it is fixed, in my computer and "re-install" the activation code on this HD previously enabled?   I no longer need it on the temporary disk.

    Thank you
    Karen

    There is not need - and no point - to 'disable' Windows before installing a new drive (or a new machine)

    Such a procedure is relevant that when you change the product key on the current installation, as no changes only occur on the Server Activation of Ms. MS senior officials also suggest that the procedure is actually dangerous!

    Unless you use recovery media from the manufacturer for the new installation, you MUST use the product key of the COA sticker or your full license to install retail package - if you try to use the key found a tool Keyfinder, chances are that it will not work.

  • No activity after updating BIOS on Satellite P10

    I own a Satellite P10 part No. PSP10C-07610. I'm trying to update the BIOS with the update of the BIOS (Windows Setup) Version 2 that I found on the site of drivers & downloads for Toshiba Canada. After the execution of exe. file (I think that on the end of the process) my laptop off and since only the system starts up.

    The hard drive doesn't show any activity. It is similarly of the screen (even with an external monitor). The unit shows LED market, but nothing more.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thank you
    Alex

    Did you follow the guidelines recommended by Toshiba Canada this site BIOS?
    http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-tsb000728.htm

    Your description does not sound very well.
    I mean it looks like that the BIOS update procedure went wrong and only EPA could help solve this problem.

    Maybe you are a lucky man and only the BIOS has to be flashed again.
    Ask if the service provider authorized in your country a help!

    Good luck

  • Windows still ask for activation after that laptop was RMA would be

    My laptop has been recently would be RMA and they replaced the motherboard, keyboard and VGA card. Shortly after receiving this return, Windows began to ask for an activation code. Unfortunately, I didn't write mine down, and the sticker is now faded and illegible. I sent my new laptop because that's what the OEM has asked that I do and they replaced my HARD drive and installed Vista fresh. It does not solve the problem at all.

    Without my original activation code, I don't think I can reactivate Windows. Is there anyway to recover my product key or how to contact Microsoft to get a new one? Because it seems that through my OEM drives me nowhere as they want me to RMA again.

    If your Vista operating system was running, and enabled, we could have helped you recover your product key.
    Unfortunately, this does not apply.

    I'm sorry, but we cannot help you, you don't have a legible label on your laptop...

    It is the responsibility of the OEM to support you.

    See you soon.

  • Windows 8stuck in please wait after update

    Hello.

    our PC restarted after the installation of updates and is stuck in blue screen 'Please wait '. I looked at the post on the community, but all references to options like the etc SafeMode depend on you being able to open a session. Impossible to find and do not know if we have a code of disc or activation of recovery. Is it possible to get fashionable or the bios startup or they remoeved options useful?

    Hi Ian,

    This problem can occur if the update has not been installed correctly or some system files have been corrupted.

    When you say "Please wait" can you give us the full error you see on the screen?

    To solve this problem we need an installation media to boot to the Windows Recovery Partition, or if your laptop came built-in with Windows 8 it must have a built-in recovery partition.

    Boot from the recovery partition of Windows using the recovery or recovery 8 Windows partition or the installation media.

    Once you're on the Windows recovery options, please restore the system from there.

    Reference:

    "Configuration of the Windows updates failed. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer"error when you try to install Windows updates

    * Creation *.

    Make sure you get the computer back to the Normal start once you have completed the troubleshooting steps.

    Make sure that you back up the data on the computer before you continue.

    To learn more about the recovery options to include the following link:

    I hope this helps. Please let us know the result.
