• Can I install Windows 8 Pro 64 bits with a 32-bit Windows 8 Pro license key?

  I searched through the forum, it seems that there is no difference between 64-bit and 32-bit licenses. However, as I know suggested for 64-bit and 32-bit retail price are different. I get confused! If they are the same, then eveyone would buy a 32-bit and then install 64-bit... is it true? Your response is truly appreciated.

  Yes, the product key works independently of the architecture (32- or 64-bit), so you can use the same product key used to activate 32-bit Windows 8 Pro with 64-bit Windows 8 Pro.

• How to downgrade Windows 8 Pro - license keys

  In order to exercise my rights to downgrade to Windows 8 Pro for Windows 7 Pro (or business Vista) I need a valid key of Windows 7 Pro. How can I get this key? When I called support license (number of times) I was told that I should use a key of an existing facility, or buy a new one. I explained that by using an existing key (assuming I had a) would have this key reported by Microsoft as invalid, and that buying a whole new license did not exercise my rights under the terms of the license. Time and time again support teams have been unable to provide a solution to this problem.

  Looking at the document of conditions of licence, it says:
  «Instead of using the Windows Pro 8 software, you can use one of the following versions: Windows 7 Professional or Windows Vista Business.»
  and:
  "The manufacturer or installer, nor Microsoft is obliged to provide older versions to you."
  My interpretation of this is that Microsoft (and the OEM) will grant the rights for the downgrade, but refuses to give the key needed to do.
  How can I get a key to be able to exercise my right of demotion, as stated in the terms of the license?

  Hi James, I have been informed by Microsoft that if you get a copy of Windows 7, even if it has been used or granted to another user you can load this copy and use the product key and then call Microsoft explaining you exercise your right of demotion and they will give you an authorization code for the product key that you give them.

  What I was not able to do is to correctly load Windows 7, my PC comes up with an error. I wish Microsoft or could someone tell me the exact steps like those that Microsoft have highlighted is incorrect!

• Pavilion p001TX: lost Windows license key

  I bought a pre-installed llicensed WIndows 8.1 compatible HP laptop. Recently I tried to dual-boot my laptop with Ubuntu 14.01 for educational purposes. By mistake I finished my whole hard drive, which meant that even the recovery folder wiped out formatting. I want to reinstall Windows 8.1 on my laptop, but I don't have my copy of original Windows license key. I bought the laptop to an authorized HP provider, but he says that the company does not provide a repair CD Windows. The license key is not located in the BIOS of the laptop, it is not yet available on any sticker on any external part of the laptop. What can I do to find the key licensing and re - activate my original Windows? Pease guide me.

  Hi @Rishi17 ,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p001tx and problems with product activation Windows 8.

  Here is a link to product activation Windows 8.

  Here is of little assistance from Microsoft as well.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

• I've been doing a series of phone calls telling me that my license key for my Windows is about to expire. Is it a reality or just somone trying to rip me off?

  Last week to 10 days, I received lots of calls from someone called PC Support (which sound as if they come from the India) telling me that they want to access my PC to show me the problems that are reported to them from my ISP about something and real operating system Windows on the license key is about to expire.

  I suspect that it is a new scam to try to sell the product, anti-virus/malware any... but it got me wondering whether or not it is a real-world scenario.

  Can someone me one way or another?

  Thank you.

• Windows 7 - > 8 Upgrade Key Activation

  Hi all

  First time poster here, something has blocked me. So, I own a HP Pavilion DM4 3170se, originally shipped with Windows 7. When Windows 8 came out, I took advantage of the upgrade price bought Windows 8 and held above my Windows 7, upgrade. Fast forward to today:

  My installation of Windows 8 had problems (the infamous question "disk is locked" as well as several things), and I had to reformat and reinstall the system. Due to complications with my hard drive, I had to do a 0-wipe and completely erase the disk. No problem, or so I thought, as I had a Windows 8 Installer on a USB key. Once I had erased the disc, the MBR problems disappeared, and Windows was able to install the disk normally.

  Only one problem: technically, my key of Windows 8 is only a key to upgrade. I have no way to upgrade the facility, however. My original Windows 7 has been saved on a disk partition. I burned this recovery on a disk info, but it is not booting from a disk at all, so I have no way to install Windows 7 and then upgrade. Personally, I prefer to stay with a clean install of anyway to minimize problems.

  I have a valid Windows 7 OEM license key. I have a valid Windows 8 upgrade of the key. I have even a key upgrade to media center. I bought and paid for all of these legally, but I have no way to turn on my computer. How can I solve this? Is there a way to present the keys I have and look a clean key? I recognize that my purchase was just for an upgrade and not a clean install, but a clean install was the only way to work around this problem.

  What should I do?

  Try the following solution:

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/13375-clean-install-Windows-8-upgrade.html

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• Recover Windows 7 pre-installed license key

  Hello.

  I recently bought a laptop (dell e6410) second hand. Operating system has not been installed, and there is no sticker on the laptop (or underneath the battery) on the windows.  I would like to know if the laptop had a pre-installed operating system, and if so, could I get the license that it came with it? I don't have any what recovery DVDs, and there is also no recovery partition.

  As I read on the Internet, it could be that the license key is related somehow to the BIOS to keep the license attached to only the computer for which it was intended.

  Thank you.

  Hmm... This part of the sentence "buyer beware" comes to mind.  If it does not have the sticker of license on this subject, it does not have a legitimate operating system.  Even if you get a valid license running Belarc or Magic Jelly Bean key, there is no way to know whence this key.

  Key is not in the BIOS under Windows 7 (only 8), but the Dell installation media check the BIOS to make sure it's a Dell, it can install and activate, but without a sticker key license, which is not legitimate either.

• Lost Windows license key

  I have an old Compaq 610 Notebook PCand the hard drive failed, unfortunately.  Can I replace the hard drive, but the Windows licesnse key sticker is so worn that I can read is no longer the characters.  How can I retrieve my license key?

  Sorry, but there is no way to retrieve the PID key that was printed on the COA Microsoft sticker. Further, the key that would have been recovered since the failed hard drive now is not the same as that on the sticker. You will need to use the recovery/restoration of HP/Compaq media to install the factory OS on the new hard drive. If you do not have this media, you can be able to demand for HP business support.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Windows license key Sticker

  It's the thumbnail of my (6 months!) license keys HP Pavilion DV6-2115sa:

  

  Some parts removed for reasons of privacy (series, last block of key lic). Other parties withdrew .

  I don't think that this should happen to a laptop computer that has not been abused and only used on a desktop and on my knees.
  So-
  Why is he doing this?
  That I blame -MS or HP?
  Where can I get a replacement if key I need to reinstall?

  Should I remove the sticker from the laptop, because it is basically useless as evidence of license in its current state?

  I can't perform a restore I did not any recovery media (none supplied) or a recovery partition (deleted by Acronis when I cloned my HARD for one SSD drive). I have a Windows 7 Home Premium retail disk that should work with the key, if I need to reinstall it. I managed to recover the key to the sticker with a UV lamp and a magnifying glass.

• Retrieves the windows key / license key

  Hello

  I've lost my windows key which is an authorized copy, I wanted it back.
  What should I do?
  my system info:
  Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit
  product ID:-00359-OEM-8992687-00016
  Please help to recover my key. My windows is activated and genuine.

  Where to find your product key:

  You can identify the edition on COA sticker on your machine, at the top/side or bottom compartment or battery (laptop) if it's a desktop computer.

  COA certificate of authenticity:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/howtotell/content.aspx?PG=COA

  What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

  Other options:

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
