• Windows 8 Pro not activated, error code: 0x8007007B

  OK, here's the thing so... I bought a Windows 8 PRO (x 86 & x 64) in a local store. This key worked perfectly the last 4 times I installed it (3 times on the same computer... once on a lappy) but when this time, during the installation, when the installation program asks key, I entered that key and it has been accepted... but when it came to the office... There WAS the WATERMARK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF the SCREEN... When I open PC Info... He stated that Windows is not ACTIVATED !

  

  When I click ' see details in Windows Activation', a window pops up,

  

  When I clicked on ACTIVATE...

  

  WHAT DO I DO ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?

  Original title: tried a lot... but Windows 8 Pro NOT ACTIVATE! o.O

  I suggest that you use the telephone method to activate. In a command prompt (ADMIN), type Slui 4, choose your country and follow the instructions. When connected to an automatic connection say or do nothing until you are transferred to a technician to live and then explain in detail your problem and it should be able to help to activate your computer. Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

• Windows 7 Pro upgrade Activation issue.

  Windows 7 Pro upgrade Activation issue. I bought a real upgrade of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. In reading, there is no way I could actually update my current installation of XP and keep all the settings, I decided to just reformat my hard drive and install windows 7 as a custom install fees. Now, I can't activate Windows 7 because it claims that I do not have a version of windows installed on this hard drive. Is it possible (armed with my XP and Windows 7 product keys) I can activate my software? Or should I go through the hassle to format my drive again, stick XP on it simply to crush it with Windows 7 so I can activate it? Feels like a bit of an oversight for XP to 7 plants of valuation. Thanks for any help you can offer!

  N.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Original title: Vista Activation issue

  After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

  and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

  such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

  I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

  It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

  I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

  Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

  I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

  It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

• EliteBook 2570p: Windows 7 Pro OEM activation error after reinstall onto the new HARD drive

  Greetings!

  I had to replace my laptop HARD drive and then clean installed windows iso downloads, burned on a dvd.

  I first tried Windows 10 (build 1511), then Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1. Or activate using the key OEM COA sticker.

  I tried MS activation of phone also, but they said that they could not generate a confirmation key. They tried to transfer me to "get windows up and running support" but could not get through.

  The first activation says invalid key without being connected to the internet, which makes me wonder if there is an inconsistency between my product key and SLIC data, (which I do not have much understanding).

  The service 'Ask Tech' at Microsoft tried to sell me a license at a high cost, which I don't think I should need because I have the license OEM Windows 10 retail.

  I don't have HP recovery disks (and did not expect to need).

  Any advice would be welcome!

  (the location is the South Africa)

  The problem is that you should NOT use Win7 ISO downloads to reinstall your PC.  Given that your PC came with a preinstalled HP Win7 OEM version, and is NOT available for download, I have to assume that what you used to reinstall a retail version.

  And the problem is that the commercial version only lights up with a retail key.  The product key that came with your PC and is printed on the COA sticker, is a key to OEM HP product - and that cannot be used to activate any other than the version from HP OEM version of Win7.

  Your best bet at this point, is to restore your PC using HP recovery media - and then perform the upgrade of Win10 after that.

  It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.
  
  You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
  
  Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.
  
  Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:
  
  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

• Windows 7 purchased, not activated/validated in the allotted time... help?

  Hello! I need to know if there is a way to activate a copy of Windows 7 Professional of after-market facility. My boyfriend bought a laptop about 8 months ago at a friend. His friend has installed a new operating system before selling. Boyfriend is not very gifted in computer science and has not activated within 30 days of activation-registration/product key, because he never uses the laptop. He has paid the initial Windows 7 Professional OS (about $70, as he recollects), but we can talk to the friend, he bought the laptop from the (contracting companies in the Australian Outback), incommunicado. I am now unable to activate/register the Windows 7 operating system and wonder if it is possible to get the OS enabled without having to buy a new OS. I recently bought and installed 2 licenses for Windows OS 8.1 to 2 separate notebooks for me and my son and I would hope to avoid adding another bill of $120 for a new OS installation.

• Windows 8 Pro not mounting ISO image

  but the solution it does not solve my problem. When I run the SFC scan it stops at 37% and said it cannot continue, without any other explanation. I run 3 times and it's always the same.
  I even tried to do a refresh of the system, and when I do this I get an error. He reads
  systemreset.exe - incorrect Image
  C:\Windows\system32\VirtDisk.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. blah blah. 0xc0000020 error status.
  Other forums have suggested to install other programs that can mount iso images. However, I do not think that should I need to do that if the BONE is supposed to support iso editing on its own.
  Thanks in advance

  3. Connect it to your laptop.
  4. Open Control Panel / backup and restore.
  5. Back up your data on the flash drive.
