• Windows 7 Home Basic will be activated not after the replacement of the motherboard has failed

  Hello

  My cousin has a copy available from Win7 Home Basic SP1 64-bit, which is an OEM pack and geographically limited in India.
  Recently, the desktop motherboard has developed a fault and it was replaced by the seller that it was under warranty (so assuming that to be the same brand and model of origin).
  After the replacement, he receives a prompt from time to time that the version of Windows is not genuine and a new product key must be purchased which means buying a new copy of Windows altogether.
  I tried to help him with his number and did some research on the microsoft Web site. I tried reactivate using the same product key, but get the message that the hardware has changed and the same key cannot be used. I also tried to use the phone activation method - but after entering all numbers of 9 series a message is read on that there is a technical error and the appeal is terminated. (But he does not say why the version of Windows cannot be enabled)
  I came across the following post which seems to suggest that the same product key can be used as long the motherboard is replaced for a foul and the brand and the model have not changed.

  I would like to know if there is a way to validate the Windows version now. We are concerned that both the computer and the BONES are authentic copies and licensed and it is not just that we need to get a new product key. I would like to know if there is a phone number or address of Microsoft office in India or abroad with which we can express our concerns.
  Thank you

• Validation or Activation of Windows Vista (OEM) after the replacement of components & reinstalling

  Hi all

  I just had on the phone speaking to the people of Microsoft online help. After some discussion and blaming 'SLUI 4' (according to instructions), I am still unable to validate (activate) my legal copy of Windows and the Lady on the phone told me to come on this forum to help! ~ (What joke Microsoft management!) ~ She said she was unable to help because my copy of Vista is an OEM version and she said I need to contact the manufacturer. I said, the manufacturer was no longer in business, so now what? She said to go on the forums. So here I am!

  Also, I think the first why I cannot now turn on Vista it's because the PC has had a few different hard disks over the years and during the summer I had to replace the power supply that the original has stopped working. I had a similar problem with another PC a few years ago and it has been easily resolved on the phone speaking with MS online help, but now's done it a lot more difficult for me (using this forum) that I am dyslexic and find writing and reading indeed very laborious.

  In any case, I have reviewed the above and tried a few things, but none have worked for me. Then, please, make my life livable explaining what can I do to activate my Vista in simple terms?

  Is received the following message when you try to validate my copy of Vista after a clean re-installation:

  "The product key you entered is already in use.

  Reasons can be: a new power supply & different hard drives have been installed by myself.

  Please, please help!

  Best regards & thanks a lot, a lot.

  Hi all

  As indicated, I wiped the hard drive, re-partitioned and formatted just to make sure he was completely clean and there is no hidden bad guys or persistent files corrupted, etc..  I then reinstalled Windows Vista, did a few main, graphics drivers updates, etc and then tried to 'turn on' online.

  The bad news is that it still not be accepted and once more displayed: "the product key you entered is already in use.  So, I was a little irritated but not totally surprised, because if there is one thing that I've noticed over the years that Windows operating system are very compatible with their annoying messages! ~ However, this is not the end, read on:

  As you do on these occasions, I thought then of what could be done then that I have not already tried? ~ Well I have to say now that my reason to reinstall Vista is not because I have no desire burning back somehow, it is finally to Windows 10. But before I could do I need to install a "Windows 7 Upgrade" I bought in 2010 when my son was in college.

  This got me wondering if the message could be related in some way, to upgrade?  Twenty minutes after that, my son came into the room and offers exactly the same thing!  Without hesitation, I installed Windows 7 Upgrade and tried to validate online and hey-presto it worked!

  So, for anyone else having similar problems with a re-installation and who have also used a version upgrade of Windows later, is probably the answer ~ if all else fails.  Thus, 14 lb hammer remained in the garage!

  I am glade to say that the problem of Vista activation/validation is now resolved, even better Windows 10 is installed.

  A big thank you to all who tried to help with this annoyance.

  Best regards

• HP Pavilion Notebook 15-n203ex: 10 a Windows Activation failed after clean install

  To say things in a concise way, I bought a HP Pavilion Notebook with Windows 8.1 15-n203ex 64 bit pre installed.  On July 30, 2015, I upgraded my windows 8.1 to windows 10 which was provided as a free Microsoft Update and everything went fine except for a problem of display that has been fixed after installing the latest Nvidia drivers.

  Now, after about 30 days, I thought to do a clean install to my laptop with windows 10 and so downloaded ISO appropriate and my installation. After the installation of the new operating system, it is not Activated at all no matter what I do, I get an error to enter the CD key.

  Before you do a clean install of windows 10, using scripts from the internet, I received the Windows key from the registry that is unfortunately not be accepted by windows 10 now.

  Microsoft has informed if an upgrade is done Windows 8.1 for windows 10 there is no need to have a key during installation should be the key automatically from the Bios, correct me if I'm wrong.

  Please, help me to overcome this particular problem I am facing.

  Even after 20 days Activation took place so I decided to do a brief study of the issue and find me a solution.

  I solved the problem by downloading the 8.1 Windows 64 bit iso from Microsoft's Web site and installed. During installation, surprisingly the Installer did not ask the product key. Everything went very well and immediately after the update of the firt he invited upgrade me to Windows 10 I did happily.

  There are several applications available on the internet that provides you with the windows product key 8 or 8.1 from the Bios. Neosmart found to be the most simple and free to use without any malware.

  Now, my laptop is running 64-bit Windows 10 and fully active and up to date.

  Hope that this could be useful for someone like me.

• Windows Activation failed after years of work

  Hello.

  I bought my laptop 3 years ago. There were license version installed Windows (all stickers have been in their place). Over the years I did the regular system updates. I did re-install Windows. Has no repair of the laptop. ' ' But 23.12.12 after the regular update of the system told me that my version of Windows is not allowed - my product key "is used on another laptop or has been blocked by Microsoft. When I tried to enter the key again (as suggested by web page), he said that the key was not for Windows 7 Max.

  Sorry for the quotes - Windows is in Russian.

  This seems to be the code for Win 7 Pro, as expected - that explains why the system does not accept the key.

  The probability is that the vondor deliberately obfuscated Version/edition data, knowing that they would be missing for a long time until the system has shown as non-authentique, and that they would get a higher price for a ultimate a Pro machine.

  Or maybe someone has tried to apply an Express upgrade to ultimate using the stolen key.

  In both cases, the necessary of Loader fails after an update (possibly SP1) removed some of its changes.

  You will either need to reformat and reinstall Pro, or purchase a license full for Windows7 and exchange the key in (I could not recommend trying a direct upgrade to Win8 without knowing a lot more on the system)

• HP Pavilion Notebook 15-e020us: reactivation of Windows 8 after the replacement of the motherboard

  I have a client with a HP Pavilion Notebook 15-e020us. The motherboard is dead and must be replaced. It is, of course, out of warranty. I can find used/given to nine mothers online, but worry about the reactivation of Windows 8.1 once the replacement card is installed.  Can someone enlighten me on how to go about this without having to pay for a new license key?  I met the same problem with a Dell laptop and have ended up changing the license to it, making the project too costly.

• BitLocker - encrypt - decrypt cycle after the replacement of the motherboard?

  After replacing the motherboard of your laptop with BitLocker encryption, the system requires a recovery key. Once inside, connect us to the system as long as decrypt it administrator local to turn off BitLocker and, once finished, activate BitLocker.

  This whole process of disabling and enabling BitLocker may take up to an hour to complete, during which the laptop can not be used by the user.

  Is it there anyway that we can re - initialize BitLocker, after a motherboard replacement, without all the decrypt / encrypt process?
  While the time that the system cannot be used is reduced to just a few minutes?

  Hi Dennis,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I am afraid that you cannot re - initialize the BitLocker after the replacement of the motherboard as the TPM secure is removed or changed. A TPM Module (TPM) is a chip that is integrated into a computer. It is used to store cryptographic information, such as encryption keys. Information stored on the TPM chip may be more secure from external software attacks and physical theft. BitLocker uses the TPM module to help protect the Windows operating system and user data and to ensure that a computer is not tampered with, even if it is left unattended, lost or stolen.

  If your new motherboard does not have the required by the BitLocker TPM, you can refer to the section can I use BitLocker on an operating system without a TPM Reader? in the following article and follow the steps.

  Cannot update Windows XP Pro after the reinstallation of the Message, the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The error number is 0x8024400A.

  Should I turn off my Anti virus software is what could be stopping my updates? some sites would sugest that I use Kaspersky 2012, if that's the case, then why do all my other programs that are installed to date OK?

  Hello

  Check your level of service current pack...

  • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
  • Examine what is listed in the system: section

  If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

  .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

  Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

  So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

  Bernd, these rights are not necessary to the reader XI. Unless the file has been secured, then it should be savable.

  I recommend that upgrade you to the latest version of the XI player that is available and if this does not work, try to run a repair installation (or upgrade to DC).

• Touchsmart 320 computer: Activation of Windows 7 after the replacement of the motherboard

  After that my PC has failed because the motherboard has been damaged by an electric shock, I replaced the motherboard in a Service of HP to the Chile. When I got back my PC it works fine, but after 1 week, it begins to show a message that says I need activate Windows 7. When I try to activate, it asks me the product key, but there is no place to find. After a few days it will lock up and I could ' t use more. I pick up the PC with recovery system and works very well the first days but again is asking me to activate Windows 7. Where can I get activation key for my Windows 7 original product? I want to continue to use my PC normally.

  Thank you.

  Greetings,

  There should be a Microsoft COA 25 character sticker attached to your system.

  Try the product on the certificate of Authenticity number.

  You will need to contact HP for the service if there is no COA sticker.

  It seems that HP did not tattoo the BIOS on the new motherboard with the correct information to auto activate the operating system.

  See you soon!

• Win7pro Activation fails after replacing the HDD with SSD on HP Mini 5102, SP1 would be the issue?

  Hi all

  Displays the first time here, be it a Sunday I can't contact customer service...

  I bought my HP a few months ago and had an Indilinx SSD detached from my updates. Think the mini 5102 would be the best place to put the Indilinx (G2 Intel went in the largest notebook).

  After going through the pain of a full reinstall (best way for ssd), , I had the machine works very well with all the updated drivers and updates to the OS, but have obviously forgotten to activate (as it appears on the system properties page). I thought the network would be the best place to get the last of my tasks of re.

  BTW, factory installed Windows 7 Pro 32 bit...

  So I have just run the activation routine and do NOT have! Using the initially installed key.

  1. Could this have caused the bone now have Service pack 1?
  2. Could it be changing right on HARD for one SSD drive?

  Should I call Microsoft or HP?

  (I have the disk HARD original (with intact BONES) for the replacement if necessary).

  With thanks and greetings from the Australia,.

  The registry key will not work with the installation of OS in retail. It is the volume key OEM HP uses in the production. You have a license attached at the bottom of the laptop key? If so, it is to use.
