The OEM key on the side of your Tower will not work with the XP cd to retail. You need a manufacturer OEM copy such as comes with some Dell, gateway machines.
You can get the recovery disks that don't require any key to activate it. HP can carry is no longer, but they are available here. Just put your model number in the search:

Reinstalled Windows 7 but Windows office product key will not work
I kept getting a blue screen and computer kept stopping and restarting. Done all updates day and driver updates, but nothing has worked. So I decided to do the HP recovery and do a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and everything works well so far.
When I went to reactivate Windows Office Professional product key did not work. How can I get the key to work? Went on the Windows website and connected, but said it had no products for me. Can someone tell me another way? Not sure if I have a disk to reinstall.

You will need to find the license activation key, otherwise you will not have the version of Microsoft Office Pro.

I had to reinstall Windows Xp Pro, the product key will not work.
I have not changed any hardware or anything like that. I downloaded the updates of msupdates and my computer went the fritz would not do anything. I reinstalled windows xp pro from the restore disc that came with my computer. The product key is not accepted by windows to activate it. I need to know what to do. It's a Dell optiplex 2.8 gig Board and proc 2 gig of ram. Anyway when I bought.
Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.
You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.
You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.
If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.

My Windows 8 Pro product key does not work to activate my copy of Windows 8 Pro
My work of Windows 8 product key is not
Step 1: Yesterday I bought a new hard drive clean Virgin and I bought Windows 8 Pro at a local big-box store. It is a complete copy. Not an upgrade.
Step 2: I removed all the other my system HARD drives and installed Windows 8 on the new hard drive. The system asked product key. I went in and everything installed perfectly. Windows works fine. I like it.
Step 3 However, when I went to 'activate' my copy of Windows 8 and I enter this SAME product key, that I used to install I get the following message "this key did not work. Check it out and try again, or try a different key. "I repeated this step at least 4 different times after the reboot. Still does not accept it.
Question: I can not activate my new copy of Windows 8. How can he accept my key for installation and then NOT accept for activation?
Help!
JWM
The problem was solved!
Step 1: I called Microsoft support MICRSOFT (800)
Step 2: I navigate through all voice menus for installation tech Support for Windows 8
Step 3: I explained the problem to the technology (Jerry)
Step 4: The tech had me find the search function and he get a function of 4 letters (I forgot the command). I executed the function, and I got to a screen that asked me to enter a code for the Microsoft Technical Professional. I entered the 8 digit code that the tech provided for me.
Step 5: I get to a new screen and technology (Jerry) explains that I am turned on.
Step 6: I restart my PC and I go to the 'System' page in the control panel and it shows that my copy of Windows 8 is activated!
The Tech explained that my copy of windows is an "upgrade" version (it isn't) and that is why I got the sentence. I explained repeatedly that it was a COMPLETE copy. Finally, I dropped my 8 Windows has been activated.
Call the technical support and good luck!

I have purchases product code for Vista Home Premium. I couldn't find the disk, so I installed Vista Basic. Microsoft does not authorize the premium code to record the "basic" program How can I get the two to work together on my machine? MS will not let me get the program of upgrading without registering to the basic version... and on, and it will.

Suddenly this week 7 Windows has stopped working and the error message said I might have a non-genuine copy, etc. I checked the product key by using the Start/computer/properties menu. The product key was not the same as on my PC, so I tried to get the right version. Then I got the error message that you have entered the product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7, and I want to run Windows 7 set up or enter a professional product key.
I saw that someone else had been advised to run MGADiag.exe so I've already did but am puzzled by the report. And I'm worried, why me nice Acer desktop PC suddenly did that, when he had worked happily with normal updates etc. The report shows a different product to the label of my PC key.
Can someone help, please
Thank you
Andrea
