• Impossible to install windows 8 - we could not verify the product key

  Hello

  I have a HP G laptop computer series. The laptop comes with Windows 7. I. I upgraded to WIN 8 pro when windows 8 has been released. Recently, my laptop hard drive crashed completely due to bad sectors. I replaced with a new hard drive and tried to install WIN 8 from a dvd disk created from Windows download site.

  Now, the installation fails in the "enter product key to activate windows. The error is , we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media.

  What can I do here? I can't install Windows 7 also because my laptop didn't come with a backup installation disk but just a restore system partition that get lost with swap HDD too.

  I was struck here for weeks. Please help me.

  To install Windows 8, you must have a previous Version (XP Sp3, Vista or Windows 7) installed at installation time. Your RESUME must have given you the opportunity to make a series of DVD of Windows 7, when you first start using your computer. If you have done these and then use them for the recovery of Windows 7 on your computer and then update for Windows 8.0. If you don't do this why? Your other option is to contact HP support and have then send you a recovery of Windows 7 DVD set. They will charge a small fee for these to help cover their costs.

  Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

• Can not verify the product key

  Just bought DSP 64-bit version of Windows 8 for installation on the new PC self-built.

  I go to the step where I enter the activation key when printed on the sticker on the back cardboard provided in DVD.
  I get "we couldn't verify the product key. Please check your installation media. »
  The key was entered CORRECTLY - checked several times.
  VERY frustrating.
  I would like to add that I am a MAC client, set up a PC for some applications in a university here as a research tool and I am very disappointed with this so far. It is absolutely absurd that we find errors like this with such new technology.

  Hello

  Yes, you can try a free key of Windows 7 Installation. But be sure that you enter the product key to activate Windows wihtin 30 days grace period. Once the 30 days grace period end your system will go in any safe and you may need to reinstall the copy again.

  Unlike Windows Vista, if you si vous achetez buy Windows 7 DVD you get specified edition disk and installation you will not get an option to select the edition. Almost to the last step of the Installation, you will get the opportunity to enter the product key that you can jump and try to enter the product at the time of the Activation key.

• Cannot find the product key and can not use the gift cards to buy Windows 7 from retail store

  Original title: Let Down by Microsoft Retail store

  My daughter lives and breathes on his pc. We had some tough times lately, and of course, his computer has had too many problems. In February of this year, I bought a Win 7 Home Premium for his pc. Since we moved, so I can't find the package with the product key, or the disc. I have $75 in gift cards from Microsoft, I need to buy new win 7 hp. Almost all retailers (in store and online) competitive price a new copy for about $119. We have been saving, and with gift cards, I would have just enough money to buy win 7 hp for my daughter. I went to our Microsoft store in the Mall. (Don't forget I saved for about 6 weeks, we are on a budget, then gift cards have been a miracle!) Guess what? The only place that I can use the maps from Microsoft wants $199.99. To add insult to injury - I can't use gift cards for purchases in line-HELP! We waited 2 months just to be left out... I am very disappointed by Microsoft.
  I thought that we recorded our product with Microsoft when it was originally installed, but cannot find anyone. All solutions?

  If you have purchased windows is installed a keyfinder allows you to recover your product key.

  I think that the price of $119 is to upgrade xp/vista to windows 7.
  the $199 price is for the full version.

• Cannot find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium

  I don't have the product key of Windows 7 Home Premium? Where can I find it?

  Original title: Charles 111

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  I would like to ask you:

  • Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?

  If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.

  If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.

  Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.

  Reference:

  Where can I find my Windows product key?

• I would like to know how to re - install windows on a laptop with the product key on the back of the laptop.

  install windows with the product key

  someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.

  or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.

  I thank you for your time and have a good day.

  If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition.  If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation.  At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.

  If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.

• Failed to verify the product key for the download of the ISO.

  Good day to all, I am unable to check my product key for ISO download to https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows7.

  

  My windows is already activated, but I would change from 32-bit to 64-bit (my PC supports this) so I would like to download an ISO file to reinstall.

  I hope you all can help out me. Thank you and have a great day!

  

  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.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
