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

  • Faded to the Windows 7 product key sticker

    I had to install a new hard drive on my laptop and did not have a Windows 7 installation disc Toshiba - laptop came with pre-installed software. The sticker of the product key on the base of the laptop is faded, so I used 3rd party software and extract the key from the registry. I downloaded an iso of Win 7 and used this product key and all very busy, and I used it successfully for the past few weeks. Now, it is said, I have 10 days to activate my product key is invalid for activation. I have read various threads that keep that product key recovered and used for the loading of Windows & is not suitable for activation, so I'm back to faded sticker. I figured out all but one the letters/numbers and wonder if I enter the product key sticker, and I guess that last number (I think it's a B, a 3 or an 8), if it turns out to cheat should I get another chance to enter the product key and try one of the other numbers/letters combinations? Thank you

    You will never be able to activate a downloaded the ISO of Windows 7 with the key that came with the laptop. Your laptop came with a Toshiba OEM of Windows 7 version, and the ISO would be a commercial version.

    You have to get a set of recovery discs from Toshiba or purchase the complete retail Windows 7 installation.

  • I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help to send a photo to show him what it's like.

    Original title: product key

    Hello

    I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help if I can send a photo to show him what it's like. I formatted my laptop and he asks the authentic copy. I really need help coz 2 days left to activate.

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    You can extend the activation period of 30 days by running slmgr /rearm since the Admin command prompt.

    Then take a picture of your COA sticker with your phone, blow as large as possible to try to detect all the characters input for Activation.  You can also use a magnifying glass.

    If you can not use the key to product then you will need to either the order of the restoration of the factory of the manufacturer of your PC media, or if you have a C:\windows.old folder you can try to reinstall the factory to SLP activation file.  However we do not support this so you will need to search on your own.

  • The Windows product key sticker has disappeared and cannot use it to activate

    Windows product key sticker is missing at the bottom of my laptop and I can't do some of the latest figures, my laptop computer manufacturer did not provide any hardware Windows 7 or a disk and I contacted them and they won't help. My windows 7 is actually owner I have the sticker on the bottom of my laptop as evidence, can I send this to microsoft to help out me? also note, I had problems with my laptop and realizing that the hard drive has indeed not my old windows 7 installed and the hard drive is faulty, it cannot be extracted, that is the reason why I have a problem.

    your manufacturer would have provided a recovery partition on your hard drive to recover windows. If your hard disk does not and you can't read your key, you will probably need to order from your manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (no key needed, because the OEM SLP key is embedded).

    Try a bright light and a good magnifying glass to read your product key.

    Hello

    You can use this Recovery Partition to reinstall Vista to his new condition with the right edition of Vista.

    This recovery partition was photographed on your hard drive by HP during the manufacturing of the factory.

    You press F11 on startup to start the process of recovering back to factory settings.

    Here is the information about HP.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

    If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.

    If HP's Vista recovery disks, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

    You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

    They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

    Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.

  • New XPS 8700 - no product key sticker?

    Hi all

    I just got my new 8700 XPS of FedEx today. I was check your box to admire its design and learn where all the ports when... I noticed there is No sticker of the product key of Windows 8. It is also the Microsoft Certificate of authenticity (from what I've seen). In the past, each computer Dell with Windows 7 or more is shipped with a product label key desktop somewhere he had normally on top of the case and laptops he had under the battery, or just on the bottom of the laptop.

    After you call Dell customer service, the representative informed me the product key is embedded in the motherboard. Dell no longer includes a sticker with the product key. I mentioned how it was weird because there is a square area above the service tag label that seems to be specifically for the product key sticker. Yet once, the representative assured me that, if I have to reinstall Windows, installation don't automatically assume the key to the motherboard. The representative was very nice and helpful, no issues here.

    There are probably programs out there to recover the product key of Windows 8, so I can write it physically. For this reason, I'm sure I can get the key myself. My two questions are:

    1.) can anyone else confirm if Dell is 100% not including stickers product key on their new computers?

    2.) any person properly reinstalled Windows 8 with the help of the method of the 'motherboard product key?

    Thank you for your time,

  • 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.

    Hi marcinziel
    You are lucky to have a product key sticker (COA).
    Some people have had success with the digitization of the AOC and using software to improve the image.
    This year I bought a R50 Pro of the Satellite with Windows 7 pro and I can't find a sticker (COA) about it.
