• 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.

• Satellite C50-A-1DV - impossible to Win10 - windows serial key is not valid

  I'd appreciate any help at all!

  I am trying to upgrade to windows 10. I won my windows product key (authentic, same windows installed when bought new by Argos) via the CMD prompt: wmic path softwarelicensingservice is OA3xOriginalProductKey and the 10 windows update tells me that the serial number is incorrect / not valid (I type the code correctly in the update).

  I try to install fresh ISO, all other methods have failed. I believe that this is due to the verification of product key.

  What is going on?

  Please read this thread:
  https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread.php?83853

  Your laptop has been preisntalled already active Toshiba image container system.
  You must perform the upgrade (not a clean install) to get 10 Win.

  Also, Toshiba does not provide the serial key to activate the systems becase the system is activated automatically conneting the laptop to the internet.

• HP Envy 14 LR198AV: HP sold me PC with no valid Windows 7 or at least an invalid Windows product key and product ID

  I bought this PC in July 2011 and it is out of warranty.  After that of being harassed at level to Windows 10 months I decided to do it, but rather than the upgrade, I did a clean install from the laptop was malfunctioning.  I read on the Microsoft site that we could do it as long as they have Windows product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 that was already installed on the machine.  I wrote that down with the Windows ID (different number).

  I've updated by downloading Windows 10 to a USB key and then the installation.  Seemed to work very well (I think that I entered my product in the process ID).  Now, a few weeks later I get a message that I need to "activate windows".  I called MIcrosoft after it could not activate using the ID that I and after 30 minutes on the phone they me said my Windows product ID and both are my "invalid" Windows product key  I would call HP and get this sorted - I have the original order number and Microsoft said that's all I need for HP to help me - but I am out of warranty and apparently help me unless I pay them $60.  Another alternative is to buy a new copy of Windows 10 and pay MIcrosoft money.

  I am shocked, because I'm simply doing what Microsoft has been harassment to me.

  BTW, the PC seems to work fine except the message to activate windows.  I guess that another option is to do nothing.

  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Available for the free upgrade until the end of July 2016, according to the latest rules from Microsoft Windows 10. Thus, you will be able to spend to Win 10 If you want. I'm not a fan of win 10, but if you want to upgrade to it I personally recommend the ISO for Win 7 upgrade method to win 10-

  # Download the ISO from MS site, burn it to a DVD, insert the DVD into the PC and start the process from inside Windows 7

  # Follow the on-screen instructions then

  Hi MarcoPolo777, for the key, you can use a software called produkey.

• Satellite: Windows product key

  My laptop crashed during a firmware launched by Toshiba software update, I could not recover the soft recovery on the laptop and possibly (accidentally) formatted the drive using recovery software.

  I asked a USB recovery (£40 +!) and used to get the laptop works (or almost).  Now I be prompted to enter a Windows product key.

  The laptop was bought ex-affichage accompanies so no documentation and has no attached Windows sticker.  How can I get the key to enter?  HP would have a record or Microsoft?

  Any help appreciated.

  I have the HP Envy and asked HP support via chat there if they had the product key... I spoke to a very helpful guy called Paul... He sent me the product key by using the serial/model number...

  He also said I could try running the prompt (run as administrator)

  WMIC path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey

  It comes down to the same product key that Paul sent me

• Bad Windows product key during the installation of SP2

  Hi all, I have reinstalled windows XP.
  When I try to update SP2 to the system, mircrosoft told me that I do not use a product key.

  Then I followed the instructoin to download a tool of KeyUpdate and I put the product key in my laptop, it saids is not the correct key for windows I use.
  On-site product keys to compare, it says:

  OS version: Windows XP Professional
  Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
  Model: Satellite M60
  Product key: *-*-*-*-P6R2Y

  It shows the make and model.
  However, I use a Windows Xp Home Edition and this CD key is fine with *-*-*-*-Q6JWG.
  And the product key for my laptop is fine with *-*-*-*-GCFKM.

  Then I download the Windows product key update tool and put in both the product key on the CD and laptop.
  Two of them doesn't work. I want to know how can I update the Service Pack for my windows. Can anyone help? THX!

  What can I do for this? THX!

  Hello

  I read a few threads about similar problems with the BONE key and the key change has always helped
  Sometimes, Microsoft rates the key of the image as incorrect or not valid. Why? I don't know... it's Microsoft you know ;)

  Fact is that the key on the cover of the CD can only be used to activate the software Microsoft Works or OneNote installed on the laptop. The key is not responsible for the Windows operating system.
  The key that could be used with the Win operating system is placed at the bottom of the unit.

  Well, according to your message you used this key and now I m a bit confused
  I think you should make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to clear this problem

• 23 - g013w: Windows product key

  Greetings,

  I had to reset my computer through an infinite loop at startup. Windows cannot repair itself, and all attempts by using the command prompt, start safe mode, etc. failed. So, I did a complete reset. Now, Windows 8.1 will not activate. When I get to the option activate Windows and select it, I simply returned to the desktop. I tried to register Windows via the command prompt, but an activation key is required. The key is not stuck on the computer, and I don't know where to find it. Of course, I'm dead in the water at this stage. I lost three days of work and am pretty frustrated at this point. All the tips, and where can I find the Windows activation key?

  Best,

  James

• Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

  I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

  Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

  Lenovo ThinkPad T450

  Model: 20BV00BUS

  CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

  RAM: 4 GB

  Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

  Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

  Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

  A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

  I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

  This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

  The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

  Kind regards

  Hi Victor,

  I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

  We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

  To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

  Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

  (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

  Select Start,

  Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

  If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

  I hope this helps.

  Best regards, Max.

• HP Pavilion 64 bit (8.1): Windows product key.

  Hello

  First the Windows 8.1 key will not work, you must have Windows 10 key. Yesterday, I tried the following statement 4 times for laptop for my daughter, but did not work:

  IMPORTANT: To upgrade for free, select upgrade this PC now in the tool. One should NOT ask for a product key during the upgrade process. If you create a USB stick and use it to install, make sure you remove the USB key as soon as the installation program starts. If you do not, you may be prompted for a product key. In this case, remove the USB and reboot your PC to continue the installation.

  I finally had to use the option to upgrade this PC now.

  Kind regards.

• 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.

• Where can I find a verrifier windows product key.

  with respect to the Auditor, there is none of these tools to do this, you can contact customer service and have them check the keys if they are valid or not

• Where is my Windows XP key?

  Telephone support at HP and M$ was useless on this issue.  Also, filed a case with CV and got some of the canned response and then dismissed my case.  Then I'll try the forums.

  I am trying to create an image for cloning Windows XP in my small office. After you run sysprep, Windows XP requires a product key. The product key of Windows 7 (on the sticker on the PC) does not work. Where is the Windows XP product key that should have come with the computer?

  Where is the fine print that says that I can't imaging with these class business PCs?

  I think that I thought about it.  I'll be nice and share my solution.
