Windows activation question 8 Y500

So if I completely wipe and reformat my main hard drive (1 TB) and I want to do a side by side windows installation 8 and ubuntu, I use the iso from the microsoft Web site and it should turn on fine with the bios? I know I'm going to be sacrificing okr...

Hello cloverz7,

As long as your computer came with windows 8, you need not enter the product key for windows 8, such that it is integrated with the system board. Also, before wipe you your HARD drive, it has a recovery disk partition that is hidden on your hard drive. You can create your recovery media, which includes the operating system of it. Hope that helps.

  • Question 8 Windows Activation

    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.

    as the cd key is installed in the bios most of the time now, you will need some programs to read

    Hello, all!

    In how many ways we can activate Windows. I have listened to many methods, but I still cannot understand. Another thing is that what is the maximum limit of the windows that we bought once? Some say that it's forever, some say that it is valid for 1 year, some say that it is valid until your machine works, once your machine Burns will also been activating Windows. Some say OEM. Here are many many beaches and methods of activating Windows.

    Can anyone 'Master' tell me about any procedure?

    I hope that the descriptive answer.

    OEM - can activate only on the original PC was purchased (with the original motherboard).

    Retail 'Upgrade' - must have an operating system installed, but has unlimited activation, however you may need to activate by phone if you reinstall Windows too often. Can be moved to another PC, until he removed from the previous computer.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    You must activate Windows within 30 days of installation. Activation helps verify that Windows on your computer is genuine and has not been used on more computers than the Microsoft software license agreement. In this way, activation helps avoid software counterfeiting. For more information, see activation of Windows 7: frequently asked questions.

    Note: This FAQ is for Windows 7 but information shared in this link is useful for other versions of Windows too.

    If Windows 8/8.1 is installed properly on your computer then, try the steps in the following article to activate your Windows.

    However, how can I activate Windows with this guide?  The links are to test Windows 8.  Any help?

    It works!

    Immediately when you start the installation, even if the hard disk has been deleted, the Windows Installer management of grown up the HP logo that appears at startup, likely out of the installation disc.  After a successful installed, (important note here, see below), Windows activated successfully, and I confirmed in the properties of the computer.

    Important note: for some reason, the Windows Setup Manager, when you partition my drive, said that Windows could not be installed on the 1 and only hard drive in the computer.  Confused, I clicked next anyway, and he succeeded.

    However, I had to torrent the file .iso image, instead of download from Google Drive.  I would like to remind everyone that simply by downloading the .iso image file is not illegal, and this download from a single source is not different from that of the other, as long as you ensure that it is not.
