  • HP Stream 13: Where the windows/COA key for HP Stream laptop sticker?

    I bought a HP laptop, Stream, and it is a great little computer.  I was wondering where the key Windows/certificate of Authenticity sticker is however.  I don't see anything that is affixed to the laptop or the included documentation.

    There is not everything. The key Code is integrated into the BIOS. If you install Windows 8.1 from an OEM drive that it will activate automatic based on the BIOS. If you want to view the Code and have it physically available the current version of Magical Jelly Bean will extract Windows 8.1 key Code:

  • Windows COA sticker worn, how can I get Win7 key #?

    I have a G60-535DX laptop, hard drive has been replaced and has no recovery Partition. Is there a way to get Windows 7 key # if I have a serial number of the product? The COA sticker is worn, it can not see all the characters. It came with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    If you can boot into Windows, the easiest way to retrieve the key is to use a utility calledMagic Jellybean .

    If you cannot start Windows, or who have already replaced or reformat your hard drive, then you have four choices.

    (1) use the recovery disk series or usb recovery media that you should have created and put in a safe place.

    (2) buy a HP or an HP partner recovery disk

    (3) purchase of a new facility under license of Windows 7 DVD

    (4) install an operating system open source as a version of Linux

    If you are using a serial or usb disk recovery recovery media, you use the activation of license key. The Windows certificate of authenticity is just there to provide proof of legal license and in case an owner has decided to install a non HP Microsoft Windows version.

  • Toshiba Satellite C665D-S5048 computer laptop Windows 7 key COA faded

    Hello

    My Windows 7 key is dimmed on my computer Toshiba laptop model Satellite C655D-S5048 and runs Windows 7 Home Premium OA.

    My problem is my hard drive is completely broke down on me which means that the computer no longer detects it, and I'll get a new hard drive. Is there a way for me to use a copy of retail of Windows 7 friends to install my version if it's Windows 7 Home Premium, and would it still work if the product key has already been used on the computer before?

    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.

  • Key Windows COA rubbed off, corrupted recovery partition... How to reinstall Windows?

    Hey everybody,

    Windows started acting really buggy for me.  (For example, Windows Explorer restarts each time that I did a right click on the icons to view their properties.)

    I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 (or 15R) that came pre-installed with Windows 7.

    I thought to upload a file .iso and reinstalling Windows in this way, but my COA rubbed down my computer and I learned that it is necessary to reactivate Windows once you reinstall completely (or have a facility in place that keeps the data intact).

    Also, my recovery partition is probably corrupt, since I tried to burn the DVD using Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 and after you have reinstalled Windows and I rebooted, it asked for the actual installation diskettes and would not go further.

    Can Dell provide me with a disk that will reinstall my OS correctly, without my COA key?  I can read most of the characters after a lot of effort, but not all.  I learned a lot about backing up the data and write the whole experience license keys, that's for sure...

    If anyone has any other tips that can help, I would really appreciate it.  Being asked to pay a lot of money for a new computer or operating system seems ridiculous.

    Thank you.

    Bryan

    Yes.  Although there are stories of success/miss Dell sends do not record, the people, for the most part, receive the media using the form.  Warranty status has no effect on the successful requests or not.  One thing that seems to slow down or stop the process is if you are not the original owner of the filed with Dell system.

  • 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.

  • FOR THOSE WHO HAVE UNREADABLE WINDOWS PRODUCT KEY STICKER

    If your Windows product key label is worn out or unreadable, you can forget about getting any help from Dell or Microsoft. You're basically on your own. Microsoft will send you to Dell. Dell will send you to Microsoft. Microsoft will try to charge you money. Dell will try to charge you money. You'll spend an hour chasing your tail and you will get nowhere.

    This is a very simple and very common problem. It is mind-boggling to me that there is not some sort of procedure in place to deal with a wide scope or unreadable COA label.

  • Need help with Windows 7 key.

    I have a laptop that I had to change the HARD drive due to a complete failure.  I had a Windows 7 key I know has been good and have never used, purchased as part of a package of pc 3.   Now the installation tells me that this is not a valid key.  I paid almost $150.00 for this set of 3 installs for Windows 7, about 5 years ago.

    The old HDD is dead, I tried to connect with a USB key and nothing.   The laptop was working fine with WIndows 10, then the portable HARD drive is simply dead.  I need help with a new key, or at least the one I have to work.  The new drive HARD won't have not all partitions or any attached former windows key.  I can't get past the check of Windows screen.

    Need help please.

    You must use the product key located on the COA sticker (at the bottom of the laptop, sometimes inside the battery cover or access. Once you have located the product key, and then follow the instructions below to change the key of the key from the factory to the key on the sticker.

  • I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help to send a photo to show him what it's like.

    Original title: product key

    Hello

    I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help if I can send a photo to show him what it's like. I formatted my laptop and he asks the authentic copy. I really need help coz 2 days left to activate.

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    You can extend the activation period of 30 days by running slmgr /rearm since the Admin command prompt.

    Then take a picture of your COA sticker with your phone, blow as large as possible to try to detect all the characters input for Activation.  You can also use a magnifying glass.

    If you can not use the key to product then you will need to either the order of the restoration of the factory of the manufacturer of your PC media, or if you have a C:\windows.old folder you can try to reinstall the factory to SLP activation file.  However we do not support this so you will need to search on your own.

    Is there a COA sticker on the case - or a sticker to Windows 8?

    Sticker even like all the other 705 Elitedesk have been ordered.

    Yes - but is it a Windows 7 sticker, or a sticker to Windows 8?

    Assuming it's a sticker of WIndows 7, all you have to do is to use activation by phone-

    activation by telephone (call of the operator)
    Click the Start button
    in the search box, type
    SLUI 4
    and press the Enter key
    Follow the instructions, but when asked what service you need the ansafone phone, don't answer - it should oblige the operator to answer, who can deal with you

  • Misspelling of Microsoft Windows COA sticker - real?

    Misspelling of Microsoft Windows COA sticker - real?

    I bought a Lenovo ThinkCentre second hand on eBay UK (I live in the United Kingdom) a year ago, and I barely noticed a typo in on the Microsoft COA, stuck on the side of the computer. This machine came with Windows Vista Business installed, but I think a typo in 'WIndows' is a very rare case. I have not yet tested the product key.

    Check out the link to the image below, tell me what you think.
    Note: I edited the product key in Fireworks CS5.
    Thank you
    -Toby

    Right, I just activated Vista Business 64-bit with the key on the certificate of authenticity. It seemed to work very well, and there is no problem.

    Seems he could have simply a typo, but I would not have expected it from Microsoft.
  • Derive COA key used in VMware

    I used a key COST to active windows 7, which is installed in VMware (virtual machine), and I can't use VMware, can I deduct the COA key and using it to install windows 7 on a physical PC? If so, can he activates online? Or I have to go through the activation of the phone and explain what will happen to the representative? Thanks in advance.

    If the COA key belongs to the physical PC hardware he came originally with.

    Therefore, if Windows 7 is initially supplied with the computer, but you then transferred the license to the Virtual Machine.

    You may need to reactivate by phone:
