Windows 7 product key missing 3rd defined in the product key

I have upgraded to Windows 10 Pro Windows 7 of the month last it worked fine for about 2 months, then W10 started having problems with my free Wi - Fi connection. so I did a clean install of windows 10 Pro, but now my Win7 old files disappeared as well as the product key. I remembered I have the sticker. I read the first, second, fourth and fifth set of keys, but the 3rd series is really hard to read. Is there anyway to get my key, so I can redo my laptop back to windows 7 and update, then back to windows 10?  Microsoft maintains my past product keys somewhere so in the case of these situations? Any help would be greatly appreciated.   I did the key finder, see plu key and belarc but all it shows is Windows 10pro key. The main reason for this is that I'm supposed to have Direct X 11 or higher and it won't install the update 11 or higher version...  Any help with this is also greatly appreciated as well.

You shouldn't have the key if you had previously installed and activated Windows 10.

During the installation of Windows 10, there is a selection of say, 'I don't have a key.

Select it and proceed with the installation.  It must be activated automatically by the digital right, you received during the initial installation of Windows 10.

Microsoft keeps no record of keys.  You must contact the manufacturer of the computer to see if they can provide any assistance in getting your Windows 7 key.

DirectX11 is part of Windows 7 and DirectX12 is part of Windows 10, you don't need to install it.

  • Satellite C660-1R1 - recover Windows 7 product key

    Dear Toshiba support,

    My Toshiba Satellite C660-1R1 bought in 2011. By the end of 2013, the original HARD drive died and I replaced it with an SSD. That said, I can't start the recovery with the original Windows 7 installation partition, or I can retrieve the product key from the registry. In addition, the sticker of the product key on the back of the laptop is almost unreadable. I read only a few letters.

    Is it possible for the support of Toshiba recover my Windows 7 Home product key based on the serial number and other details? I can send the whole of the back of my laptop with two stickers to the evidence.

    Thanks for any help.

  • Windows 7 product key sticker damaged by normal use

    I have a G550 and the product key on the underside of the laptop has been worn.

    I created the recovery DVD but the last disk in the series has been damaged, I have a commercial version of W7 but this requires a product ID valid, which I did not.

    I had to erase the disc and it deleted the recovery partition and so I have the choice to buy Lenovo recovery media or to buy a new key and the media of M$.

    I noticed that there are already messages on the internet where people with the same laptop computer had exactly the same problem with the product ID sticker is damaged by normal use.

    I think that lenovo could do a little more to solve this problem because even laminate the sticker would have been enough to save me all the hassle it caused

    I can confirm that the key to the key will work... But probably you need activate windows by phone.

    Suggestion?

    Activate your copy of Windows, use ABR (Google a bit) then save the activation files somewhere safe. You can still use ABR to restore your activation after each installation, since it is material specific .

    It's always a good idea to have a backup of the license, even if your computer works OK, so far

  • Windows Vista product key Dublicate

    Therefore, a quick question. I installed Windows Vista on another laptop years ago. The hard drive and laptop have been terminated and destroyed. There is therefore no chance that the OS is still there. I needed an OS for my computer, and didn't have that copy of Vista, so I installed, thought it would be perfect. After all, only one copy is in use at any time. It won't let me activate. Am I violating the terms of Service, or is there a solution? Also, I always will be able to use the operating system if I can't activate.

    Thank you
