Cant activate my windows

Hi,
I need help.
I bought a dell inspiron lately and it produces a crackling sound on its speaker after 3 weeks. I followed a suggestion from this forum to reboot it to the factory setting and it did solved the problem. However, a second problem did occurred and that I cannot activate my window. 
This problem bothers me cause in the middle of my work on the computer a screen would pop out and it suggest that I need to activate my window but when I followed it to the setting to activate the button to activate it wont. And would said try again but every time I would activate it wont. 
Where can I get my product key that goes with my Dell laptop when I bought. I never thought that this problem would exist with my Dell laptop having the product key embedded within the system but wont activate it. First this crackling sound now this bothersome popping of request to activate my window.
I would appreciate any help from you guys especially from Dell. I tried to call the support service but no solution yet to my problem.

Windows 8 keys are encrypted stored in the Bios installed at the factory.  There are no more COA Stickers due to piracy. (OEM System Builder Versions Do Still have COA Stickers)
Windows 8 now comes with a Genuine Microsoft Label there are NO MORE Certificate of Authenticity (COA) Labels.
See the following examples of labels to look for.
Color-Shifting Ink
The color shift on the label is designed to change from one color to another when viewed from different angles,
making it easy to determine if it is genuine.
Windows 8: magenta to green
Windows 8 Pro: blue to purple
Windows RT: turquoise to purple
Genuine Microsoft Labels

Immediately after you log on, you see the following Windows Activation window:
Windows is not genuine
Your computer might not be running a counterfeit copy of Windows.
0x80070005
You may also notice the following symptoms:
The computer desktop background is black, and you receive the following error message on the bottom right corner of the screen:
“This copy of Windows is not genuine”
You receive the following error message when you view the System Properties: (Control Panel / System and Security / System)
“You must activate today.  Activate Windows now”
If you try to use slmgr.vbs /dlv to view the licensing status, you receive the following message:
Error: 0x80070005 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges
Notes:  This error message may also occur when a command that is being executed requires an elevated command prompt and is unrelated to the issue discussed here.
If you see a message that Windows might not be genuine with no error code, see this Help topic:

  • I cant activate my web sharing in system preferences

    I cant activate my web sharing in system preferences, what do I do ?
    tks for help...

    Here's a quickly copy and pasted excert from David Pogue's book, Lion: The Missing Manual...
    Firing Up Web Sharing
    Here’s how you turn your Mac into a low-budget Web site: Put the HTML documents, graphics, and files you want to publish into your Home → Sites folder. Every account’s Home folder has a Sites folder, and therefore the Mac can actually serve up lots of Web sites at once. Your Web site’s home page, by the way, won’t appear unless it’s named index.html. (Apple has already put an index.html document into your Sites folder, just to give you the idea; feel free to replace it.) And the other files you put in Sites aren’t accessible unless they’re linked from your index.html page.
    Open System Preferences; click Sharing. Turn on the Web Sharing radio button.
    Use the Sharing System Preferences pane to make designated folders on your hard drive available to anyone on your network. Note that your Mac’s IP address, shown here in underlined type, works only when people connect from across the local network. It probably won’t work from across the Internet; see the box on the facing page. You’ve just made the contents of your Sites folder available to anyone who connects to your Mac. Also note the line below the Computer Name box. That’s your Mac’s Bonjour name, which is a bit friendlier than its IP address. Send your network address to your friends and coworkers
    People on your local office network can use your Mac’s Bonjour name to connect. It appears at the top of the Sharing pane, as shown in Figure 22-1. For example, your colleagues can type http:// office-mac.local/ ~ chris into their Web browsers, where office-mac.local is your Mac’s Bonjour name and chris is your short user name. If other people will be connecting from the Internet, you need to figure out your public IP address; as noted in the box on The IP Address Mess: Port Forwarding, that might be your router’s IP address, not your Mac’s. Your Mac Web site’s address might be, for example, http:// 111.222.3.44/ ~ chris/ (the number is your public IP address, and the name should be your short user name). Don’t forget the final slash. Tell your friends to bookmark it so they won’t have to remember all that. You’ve just put your Mac-based Web page on the Internet for all to see— that is, all who know your secret Web address. Maybe you’ll want to distribute the address only to other people on your office network, using your tiny Web site as a distribution source for documents. Or maybe you’ll want to go whole-hog, hosting an e-commerce Web site (read on). The Mac’s Own Web Site The instructions above show you how to create a Web site in your Home → Sites folder. In other words, they guide you through the process of creating a personal Web site. But if you have an Administrator account (Chapter   12), you can also put your Web pages into the main hard drive window’s Library → WebServer → Documents folder. This is your Mac’s main Web site folder, and its address is simply, for example, http:// 111.222.3.44/. That is, it’s just your public IP address, no user name needed. (Here again, if people will be connecting from across your office network, they can replace the IP number with your Mac’s Bonjour name.) Working with this primary Web site folder is only slightly different from the personal ones described above. Because you’re now working inside an official Mac OS X system folder, you must mind your permissions. Using the File → Get Info command, you should set up the permissions of any folders and documents inside the Library → Web-Server → Documents folder (an Images folder, for example). That way, you can ensure that you’re in control of which visitors are allowed to do what with your Web documents. The Easiest Way to Distribute Files Here’s a handy secret: If there isn’t a document whose name is index.html in your Sites folder (or index.html.en in your Library → WebServer → Documents folder), then visitors see, in their browsers, a handy list of the files that are in that folder (see Figure   21-2). This is a terrific convenience: It offers a quick, simple way for you to make a bunch of documents available for downloading. All your visitors have to do is click one of these file names. It downloads immediately, no matter what kind of computer your Web visitor is using.

    Maybe this will help? It will at least bump the message up again!

    i hve bought a new ipod touch but i cant activate it because evrytime it gives a messge "it cant activate due to activation server it is not approchable" it also cant activate through itunes

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • I have downloaded viber on my iphone 5.  i cant activate my account because it says that i have to turn on my push notifications, which i have triple checked.  i have also tried deleting the app and redownloading.

    Hi,
    This is an official representative of Viber Media.
    Please try to uninstall>reinstall Viber, make sure you have the latest version available (2.3)
    Viber requires all Push Notification settings to be enabled. Otherwise, it will show the error message requesting to do so. In addition, another possible cause for this problem might be the fact that your iPhone is jailbroken/hacktivated, and that interferes with Push Notifications in your iPhone. Our support team might be able to assist you further with this issue - please thoroughly read this page in our official Help Desk: http://bit.ly/uRG1Dw
    (At its bottom you may contact our Support Team if the solutions outlined in it were not sufficient).

  • I have no service and i cant activate my iphone 3gs after update to ios 5.0.1 can anyone help ??

    it says ICCID: unknown
    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • I cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

  • Hi.iforgot to erase iphone 4s and removed it from my friends icloud account.now itunes says this account cannot be used to activate this iphone.i have his id and password,can log in to his icloud account but cant activate iphone.how to solve this problem?

    hi.i bought an iphone 4s from my friend.connected to itunes to restore it for a fresh install.after restoring to ios7 i realised that activation lock is enabled.i called my friend and get his id and pass.itunes said pass is wrong and cant activate the phone.then i logged in my friends icloud account (icloud.com said pass is ok) with same password and i removed the phone from 'find my iphone' list.but i forgot to erase the phone before removing it.now itunes says ''this apple id cannot be used to activate this iphone''.when i log in to icloud i cant see the phone in 'find my iphone' list so cant erase it now.can you please advise me step by step how to activate this phone?

    APPLE says:If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
    Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    i forgot to erase the phone.i just removed it without erasing.

  • TS4242 since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help

    since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help

    That usually means the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock the phone and when you update the phone it locked back up again.
    Only way to resolve this issue, is to find out who the orignal carrier was and have them unlock it.  If you bought this from a 3rd party contact the seller and have him/her unlock it for you by contacting the phone carrier.

    Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
    As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

    i cant activate my iphone 3 after i update the ios...it always ask me to contact customer care..itunes..and wifi is not working to activate it...
    i need urgent help..i need to go somewhere and im 3hrs late bec i cant use my phone

    What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    Do you have the latest version of cydia with the black & white
    icon? Or one of the other versions - what color icon?

    i cant find the person who sold my iphone 5 to me
    now i cant activate it because it is still activated to his apple id

    You have no options but to find the previous owner.  The Activation Lock is an Anti-theft protection that cannot be bypassed, not even Apple.  If you cannot find the previous owner, turn it in to the police as it is likely to be stolen property.
