How to recover my original windows activation code
Hi, I bought dell vostro 470 last year. My system is always accidentally warranty, I deleted windows registered 8 and since then, I suffer from this problem. I was talk to the live chat but do not have anything there. If you could help me find my original windows activation code provided with my system. I'd be very complete. Best regards, Sohaib Khan
If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 8:
With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.
If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

I've put together this site Web from Microsoft on a key USB with Windows 8.1 be reinstalled.

Windows is not genuine
Hi wane.
The copy of windows came pre-installed on your PC or purchased a copy at retail?
Times an update of windows will trigger the message error "windows is not genuine". As long as your copy of 'is' real (not a pirated copy) you should try to reactivate on the internet. If this does not work, then you will need to use the phone activation option.
To use the phone option follow this link from my Web site.

Windows 7 - lost the activation code, but already reinstalled windows 7 completely.
So I recently bought my old Cousins computer game. He decided to do a reinstall of windows 7 Ultimate for me if I could install programs I wanted to, but he had lost the cd shirt (who had the top activation code) in the process.
I already tried many key finder programs but the code it gives me does not work and I will not buy another key for windows 7.I already tried to contact a Microsoft support person, but he refused to help me at all when I said that the PC I built piece by piece and not purchased as an all in one. Well he did specifically mention that was the reasson why he could not help me but I know that is what I know, family members and friends who helped with similer questions before.
All computer parts were purchased for reputable sorces, and none of the programs on the pc were pirated in form in any way.
I have access to the box of windows 7 ultimate is checked as well as the barcode of disk on it.
Please help me!
Anyone in these forums has the power to give you a new key or unlock any key.
In fact, Microsoft NEVER release a key.
Your only options are:
(1) IF you have the proof of purchase (in the case of an OEM System Integrator, it is especially the COA sticker) then the phone activation center and explain the situation.
(2) purchasing a new Windows license

Now when I turn on the computer it says that I have a valid version of Windows. I type in the key provided with the software (in the CD box) as provided by the store, and I get the message:"The product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer".Now, I get a message saying that Microsoft Security Essentials will be disabled within 14 days. I also tried the activation of the phone that also does not work.In addition, I ran the windows application to validate and get "update installation failed. Information about the error 0 x 80070643I tried to update windows but get failures with the same error code as above.I ran the scan of Microsoft and AVG scanner and come clean.

Windows 7 Ultimate all of a sudden, I have an invalid activation code
I ran the diagnostic tool and copied.
It's here.
I guess it's due to lack of Microsofts/problem. If not, why so many people would suddenly have questions?

So Lenovo think that my hard drive was not on my G500. They send me a hard drive and 4 Lenovo recovery disks. I install everything correctly and I get an error of activation of Windows.
I called Lenovo and they check that the o/s and the hard drive are installed correctly. However, they say that they cannot give me a license key and I need to ship my Lenovo laptop so they can install a license key. Does make sense?
Windows activation error code is 0xC004C003.
Now, what's interesting is that when the rep took control away from my machine, I saw, it was registered under the email address of my son and not mine (I got mine when I made the connection after reinstalling) and I have no idea how and why it shows the address of my son.
Thanks in advance for any help.
