• Damaged Windows XP OEM product key sticker

  My desktop PC hard drive bad a and was replaced, but the windows product key was the last 3 letters plucked from the label on the crankcase and when I did a survey on how to retrieve the key that I have in the windows cd itself is different from the key on the label stuck on the housing of the office. Which should I use and how do I find the last 3 letters of the key on the tag, and why are they different.

  In this case, since you mentioned that there is a Windows XP sticker in your desktop, it only means that your copy of Windows XP was preinstalled. To solve your problem, you should contact your computer manufacturer for a copy of the recovery disk and the copy of the product key. They will be able to help you to change the product key and the reactivation of your copy of Windows XP.

• Windows 7 - > 8 Upgrade Key Activation

  Hi all

  First time poster here, something has blocked me. So, I own a HP Pavilion DM4 3170se, originally shipped with Windows 7. When Windows 8 came out, I took advantage of the upgrade price bought Windows 8 and held above my Windows 7, upgrade. Fast forward to today:

  My installation of Windows 8 had problems (the infamous question "disk is locked" as well as several things), and I had to reformat and reinstall the system. Due to complications with my hard drive, I had to do a 0-wipe and completely erase the disk. No problem, or so I thought, as I had a Windows 8 Installer on a USB key. Once I had erased the disc, the MBR problems disappeared, and Windows was able to install the disk normally.

  Only one problem: technically, my key of Windows 8 is only a key to upgrade. I have no way to upgrade the facility, however. My original Windows 7 has been saved on a disk partition. I burned this recovery on a disk info, but it is not booting from a disk at all, so I have no way to install Windows 7 and then upgrade. Personally, I prefer to stay with a clean install of anyway to minimize problems.

  I have a valid Windows 7 OEM license key. I have a valid Windows 8 upgrade of the key. I have even a key upgrade to media center. I bought and paid for all of these legally, but I have no way to turn on my computer. How can I solve this? Is there a way to present the keys I have and look a clean key? I recognize that my purchase was just for an upgrade and not a clean install, but a clean install was the only way to work around this problem.

  What should I do?

  Try the following solution:

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/13375-clean-install-Windows-8-upgrade.html

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  Hello

  Your laptop came with Windows 8 64-bit Core edition
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03743644

  It doesn't matter what you are currently using.

  The product key of Windows 8 is integrated into the BIOS chip. B. I installed Windows 8.1 update in a few of my laptop Windows 8 using the tutorial.

  This means that the reason why the method above does not work, or you didn't follow correctly, either the key of your BIOS is corrupted.

  I suggest you follow the tutorial without delay. Download the media creation tool & later the edition appropriate Windows 8.1 ISO according to the edition of Windows 8 installed on your laptop. For example. Single language edition Core (SL) 8.1 Windows 64 bits.

  Disable secure boot & enable in the BIOS:

  Make USB bootable ISO downloaded and a clean install of the operating system by booting from it.

• HP ENVY m6 1158ca: Windows 8 Pro Setup own activation fails 0xC004C003 blocked by OEM product key

  My hard drive died on my HP ENVY m6 1158ca.  I replaced and ran 6 discs recovery I created for my daughter and

  After the last completed album, I hit continue to do construction and each time after several reboots (ready devices... Prepares... ... Software administrator is installed) it would get the BSOD - 0xc000000f - a required device is not connected or not available.  SO I format the disk of 1 TB and do Factory reset again, and it still fails in the same way.

  After failing on several occasions, I've used a Windows DVD Pro 8 for another HP laptop and Windows 8 coming!

  However, the activation of Windows 8 needs a key I guess that the BIOS it will not work.

  Call Microsoft by using the "activate Windows by phone" gave rise to the statement "you must call OEM.

  to get a key and then call us back and then we can help you"

  The HP ENVY is out of warranty, who do I contact to get this key on the BIOS?  or the BIOS button does not work

  because the Windows 8 Pro does not correspond to something?  The laptop came originally with Windows 8.

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Hi @ml88,

  Welcome to the HP Forums! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  The product key that is embedded in the BIOS may not work with the version of Windows 8 Pro.

  Here is a document HP-HP System Recovery troubleshooting (Windows 8) computers you can review. It can help restore the system from the recovery disks.

  If you need to get the recovery media:

  HP computers - get HP recovery disks or HP USB recovery disc

  Let me know how it goes.

• Product ID of Windows Vista-Home Premium 2007 Service Pack 2 is with an OEM product key.

  Hello & thanks to anyone who reads this message & can help.

  It's what I've done all I wanted to do was to change my old email address on my windows mail to another email address.

  I contacted my internet provider technical support to change the addresses e-mail & settings so I was able to access the e-mail address that I wanted to use windows mail. They tried their new settings, they recently tried, but had no luck, so they have tried using their old/normal parameters & always been unlucky? He kept coming up with an error for the two parameters & not could not send the test email that he was trying to send back to me.

  My internet provider tech support guy said, maybe I had a virus (that I know that I don't have), or maybe something wrong with my settings for windows mail or something is wrong with windows or the program & contact line of microsoft support.

  Microsoft technical support said they cannot help me because I have an OEM product key & if I wanted to get help through windows I had to pay money to get help or contact with this site I am trying now.

  I don't know what I would do in the future? I always update my laptop with the updates of windows/microsoft who cross & always am aware constantly check & make all my microsoft security essentials for updates & scans?

  I hope someone can help me with my problem & understand what I wrote?

  I have to update my system or programs to have & to the best software/programs & do what I originally planned to do with my emails?

  My laptop Windows is too old?

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  As Vista is preinstalled on your computer (OEM license), Microsoft charges you for support if you use them. They had good reason to send you to the Microsoft answers Forums

  The way you must have Windows Mail put in place is to use the e-mail address and other parameters as your ISP (Internet Service Provider) gives you; not an e-mail address that you want to use.

  They are the ones that provide all the information for you.

  You need them: parameters Username, Password, mailserver and mail out Servier

  Here is the information from Microsoft on how to set up Windows Mail:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-mail-setting-up-an-account-from-start-to-finish

  You don't say which is your Internet access provider.

  See you soon.

• Cannot read Windows 7 OEM sticker and need to retrieve my CD key.

  I stuck my sticker by my way of thinking of table that is the safest place to place, but it seems that someone scratched the sticker. Is it possible that I can get back my cd key. And my Windows is genuine as well. Help someone.

  Unfortunately, you will need to purchase a new license, if your OEM sticker is missing.

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7, you can use the reinstall Windows 7 without referencing the OEM product key:

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  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 is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  -----------------------------

  If its an OEM System Builder License and you had entered the product key, you can retrieve it:

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

• Install and activate Windows by using the OEM product key

  I had some issues with UEFI on my system and went to a local store because there is no support for acer in my country and the guy local flash my bios to a version not uefi-uefi. I read in an article that the product key of my windows preinstalled has been in the bios. I used some how a VB script that I found on a Web site for my product which is activated key. (1) can I still use this product key? I run the recovery disk utility and made a usb key as well as the recovery partition recovery. (2) can I use the product key with the usb of recovery in the case where my left hard drive system are also formatted?

  Original title: product key

  Why the BIOS was flashed to an older version?

  There is no WIndows 7 OEM embedded product key so I don't know what that means.  I asked you to run two programs to compare the key OEM of Windows 8 - reported BIOS.  We aren't interested here in another key said except OEM BIOS.  They match?  If none is reported, then it was erased with the BIOS flash.

  You can contact the technical support from the manufacturer to ask how to recover your key.

  I don't think it will reactivate without the key included if you reinstall.

  However when he is currently enabled so what I would do is follow Clean install Windows 10 Upgrade

  in order to ensure the free update now before its expiration July 31, then you will have permanent right to the PC for Windows 10 in Activation of MS servers outside any key of WIndows 8.

  First, you can do the installation to another partition, that you reduce c in Disk Mgmt, as long as you start the media during installation to select the new partition, then look after installation to see if it is active Windows 8 on the drive and if so feel safe remove Windows 8 when it is ready (or not).  Until then, use the Dual Boot menu at startup to choose.

  That's what I would do in your place and the sooner the better.   If the built-in product key was wiped out during the BIOS flash and technical support from the manufacturer won't help you, your best bet is to secure free Windows 10 Upgrade for the rest of the life of the PC.  The link provides the best install and has not reported complaints in total tens of thousands of people have used it.

• Windows 8 OEM or 8 Pro on portable UEFI - product key entered does not match

  Hello, I have a laptop (Asus Zenbook UX32VD) UEFI which Windows installation has been replaced by a Linux distro, including the recovery partition.

  There is no trace of Windows on the drive I can find, however when I plug in my USB from Windows 8 Retail Pro , created with the tool here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only (using the appropriate license key) and when I choose "install", the Setup program indicates it starts, but then stops with a message: "the entry of the product key does not match any of the Images available for Installation Windows. Enter a different product key. I can't enter the right one. I am convinced that the key OEM of Windows 8 is still somewhere in the BIOS.

  Anyway, how to install anything? Either version would be perfect. I read that I can stop Setup to read the license key from the BIOS by pressing one of the buttons F #. I tried them all without success.

  Former title: OEM Windows 8 or 8 Pro on laptop UEFI

  I remember seeing 'Windows 8' in the system, as well as "AAOEM" at the end of the key applet; and it is multilingual, from the beginning and x 64. The OEM key will work with the 8.1 Windows installation?

  And the problem is, I can't download the ISO right now: I get "Download was not completely successful" when using media creation tool (where I could select Windows 8.1 we x 64). I use it on another laptop running Windows 8.1 UK x 64. Anyway, I've tried and succeeded in a clean install of Windows 8 Pro in a virtual linux machine (so no embedded OEM key), answering my basic needs; However, it is really a temporary solution.

  As I said before that the tool of "Upgrade Windows with only a product key" requires a key I have only for Pro 8, and the keys to the list of default keys Windows ADK are considered as invalid, and so I can not end up with Windows 8 (.1) non-Pro in this way.

  I also found this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/bipass-uefi-provided-product-key-to-install/a271067b-d655-4b46-8b52-b3f191b9370c and created the PID.txt file with the key; have not yet tried, but it looks promising.

  Creating a file PID.txt won't help you in the slightest. Although it is possible to use a generic key in a PID.txt around enter your product key during the installation of Windows... It will only make problems with product activation later down the line.

  Windows 8.1 [edition variant A] will not activate with a 8.1 Windows [edition variant B] where possible editions are:

  Windows 8 = Windows 8.1

  Windows 8 single language = Windows 8.1 single language

  8N = Windows 8.1N Windows

  Windows 8.1 with Bing

  Windows unilingual 8.1 with Bing

  Windows 8 Professional = Windows 8.1 Professional

  Windows 8 Professional N = Windows 8.1 Professional N

  Through the .iso image file editions until does not have your product key is the best solution at the moment unfortunately.

• Regarding Windows 8 - OEM key built into the BIOS.

  I have a pre installed Windows 8 HP Notebook (under warranty).

  I get a new HP's HARD drive replacement.

  My question is that if I install a Windows 8 Pro OS with a new activation code on Microsoft Store, then the original Windows 8 - OEM key integrated in the BIOS would get replaced by this new Windows 8 Pro activation key?

  Or if the OEM of origin incorporated in the BIOS key will remain intact?

  Hello

  The original key from Windows 8 will remain integrated in the bios.

  Kind regards
