• V.2002 of MS Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM from Newegg in 2006 would not agree on shrinkwrap product key during installation

  I bought v.2002 of MS Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM from Newegg in 2006.  She would never accept the product key during the installation on his blister.  To complete the installation, I used a different key of a second OEM disk, and it worked.  It's been a while since I installed XP; but I was working on this computer lately and realized I never knew why the CD has had this problem or how to fix it.  I have 3 questions.  #1: the key on the blister does not match the key in "unattended installation. TXT "; is this normal?  #2: the key in "unattended installation. TXT doesn't work anymore.  #3.   Any ideas on this subject?  Thank you, Jeff.

  The only thing I can think is that you were consistantly entered a bad key - it's almost unknown fo that there is to be a wrong key on the label and it is much more likely to be a case of misreading of the key, which is not easily read in the best of light (which is why I often use a torch and a magnifying glass).

  I guess it's vaguely possible that this is a substituted forgery (some thieves employee pirateshave shoplifter and employees take to counterfeit and bring out the true copies).

  I'm surprised that the other has worked, if it had already been installed on another PC - they are locked for the life of the first motherboard on which they are enabled.

  The key in the file 'unattend.txt' is a dummy - it cannot be enabled and is not normally get used except in the OPK.

  Note: Tried to download the copy of the page of recovery of Microsofts software, but he said "to join the manufacturing of PC if you have an OEM key.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media.

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.

• Sales to RETAIL Windows 7 with key OEM activate after replacing the motherboard in a laptop?

  Hello

  The motherboard of my HP laptop is dead and I replaced it.

  I want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium on it, and I deleted the recovery partition (I know, I shouldn't, but it's done and there's no going back)

  Can I borrow a friend (RETAIL) Windows 7 Home Premium disc and activate Windows 7 with my OEM key that is printed on the COA label in the battery bay? I've never used the key again, Windows has already been activated when I bought the laptop, and it's the first time I reinstall. I downloaded all the drivers on the HP support site and saved on a USB key with a view of the reinstall.

  However, I don't see an option to download Windows 7 OEM.

  The motherboard has been replaced by official website HP tech support, I guess it is the same model that came with the laptop?

  Yes, you can use this DVD Windows 7 Home Premium retail because it was Home Premium you had before.  If you have 64-bit Windows 7 before, then you want the 64 bit DVD.  If you have 32 bit Windows 7 before, then you want the 32 bit DVD.  If you have 64-bit Windows 7 before, then you can use the 32-bit DVD if you have no choice and you may never notice the difference.

  When you get to step installation product key, it can be easier to choose the activate later option.

  When it's over, then activate via the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, as applicable], page system.  Falling down and it should then give you instructions to contact for activation of the phone.  If there is no problem with that, you can also get to the activation of the phone by typing slui 4 [not only slui but slui 4] in your Start menu search and then following that area through to get the phone number for your region.

  When you call, you will get an automatic response with the choice to make.  You can hang without make any choices at all and you will possibly connected to a human operator.

  When you talk to them, don't forget to explain that the motherboard has failed and has been replaced by the same type of motherboard as something akin to a motherboard upgrade would be ineligible for activation.

• I want to improve my motherboard. I have Windows 7 Home Premium OEM set level to professionals.

  I bought the parts to make my first computer from Newegg about 8 months ago. This figure includes Windows 7 Home Premium OEM. I had to move on to professional for my school.

  Now my motherboard (out of warranty) became lethargic and I'll upgrade. But I was told that I have to play for Windows AGAIN.
  That's what I've collected questions on this site, even the thought of service Windows (in India) told me that I would have NO PROBLEM spending these two licenses to my new motherboard.
  I have already sunk $180 in this product. VERY well, I'm hoping not to have to reinvest to solve a simple problem.

• How can I reinstall Windows 8 on an OEM laptop when I don't have the product key?

  I bought an Asus x401a laptop for my daughter as a Christmas gift. It comes preinstalled with Windows 8. Yesterday, the unit closed at key and we had to make a hard stop. On reboot, Windows will not start and instead came up with a screen that informed it was an automatic repair. This obviously didn't want to; the unit restarted and launched the auto repair, which once again. The third box... I had a few options: I could update the installation or reset it. There were several recorded files (we only had a few weeks), so I chose Reset, which if I understand correctly, it would clear everything and start over. After a while, another screen informed me that Windows could not reset the computer, who took over the entire process to the wire.

  I ran across this process several times, each time with the same result. I do not think that anything is actually wrong with the material (such as menus and other seem to work correctly; I think it's maybe just a corrupted file system) and I'd like to do a reinstall of the operating system, as it came from the factory. This is where I ran into my problem:

  • I can't download the Microsoft operating system legitimately, without providing the product key in the download tool
  • The product key is apparently built into the BIOS and not print anywhere, so I can't find my existing key without some sort of tool
  • Various tools are available to 'sniff' the product key from the BIOS, but because Windows is not running, I can't use them

  So my question is: exactly what should be my next step? ASUS would have a copy of the key related to my serial number, etc.. ? Should I install an old copy of Windows 7 just so that I can run a utility to get the key from the BIOS, or who will replace the number by something else? Or is there perhaps some way I can get the key of product directly from you?

  I like to keep Windows 8, as my daughter has already learned the interface, but at this point, it looks like this may be impossible by design.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you reinstall Windows 8 in the OEM specifications.

  As it is the OEM of Windows 8 version, the system manufacturer will have more details in this regard. I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the system.
