Get product key for preinstalled windows 7

Hello sir, I bought this laptop (Hp pavilion dv6 6115tx Entertainment Notebook)around 4 years ago with preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Operating system.  As you know Microsoft is going to give free upgrade to Windows 10. But the problem is that the product key below my laptop is not much visible. I am unable to identify the product key.  Is there any other way to get product key of my genuine windows 7? I have recovery disk with me. but it does'nt  have product key on it.Please help me... Thanks & Regards,Rushikesh Musale

Yes, you can use the same product key for 64-bit release too, as SenneVL says. But, kindly note that upgrade across is not supported and you need to perform clean install only. Also, kindly note that the Windows installation must be made in the same PC,
even if different architecture is being used. Otherwise, activation issues will arise.
Multiple architecture is supported in multiboot, so Windows 32-bit and 64-bit can be installed as multiboot environment, parallely.

  • Retrieve product key for preinstalled MS Office

    Is it possible to retrieve the product key for preinstalled MS Office 2007 Home & Student, after I've done a System Recovery? I recovered via the factory image partition, not the recovery disks (if it makes a difference).Perhaps the recovery disks include all pre-installed software as well; the factoryimage partition didn't, from what I can see.
    I can supply model product number, serial number, MS Windows product ke (if that helps). Thanks.

    I'm afraid you are out of luck if you did not keep record of the key when you got it.  Factory restore erases everything including the key.  Check in your documentation or invoices if it is recorded there.  HP does not keep record of those keys and Microsoft will be of no help either.  You may download the Office software but without the key it will not activate.

  • Can I get product key for older versions of Illustrator with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition

    I have purchased the Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition and I now need to install illustrator on Windows Vista. All the new versions are not available for Vista. I have managed to find older versions for download but it is asking me for a product key. Is it possible to get the product keys for older version with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition?

    You cannot purchase older versions of Adobe software thru Adobe.  If you have a full subscription you can acquire the CS6 version  thru that.  I have had CS6 running on a Vista system for years without problems.

  • WINDOWS PRODUCT KEY - for reinstalling WINDOWS

    What if your computer comes with NO Windows Product Key sticker -- computer came new with Windows 7 preinstalled but, included Windows  8 installation discs - never needed a key & should've (in hindsight) made a boot repair disc - but, recently computer would NOT boot up - tried to repair it but, no luck -- SO, now if I want to reinstall Windows 7 will have to use an OEM but, need a Product Key for HP computers --- any time else you install Windows you are REQUIRED to enter your own Product Key # which is about 25 digits including letters, numbers & dashes ---------- I do have Windows 10 on another drive but, love Windows 7 -- Windows 10 is far better than 8 BUT, not as good as 7 I have looked all over my case for any WINDOWS sticker & inside too -- I have heard that laptops are usually under the battery but, for DESKTOPS will be stuck somewhere on the case & this does NOT have one -------------- it is just STUPID for HP to ship computers without a PRODUCT KEY as every other manufacturer does for this reason..THANKS

      Hi,  Goodmorning! Uhm as far as I know Operating System of these unit didnt came with product keys, because operating system of this unit is from the manufacturer, And it was never been installed using standalone discs by hp. You might need to order recovery discs online on its support website. as far as I know. Hope you dont mind.

  • Can anyone help me find Office 2007 product key for preinstalled trial?

    Hello - can someone advise, please? My laptop came with a preinstalled trial of Office 2007, which needs to be activated with a 25-digit code. The onscreen message says to follow the hotlnk to a Microsoft site, where advice on obtaining the code can be found. However, when I reach the Microsoft site a message tells me that the page does not exist. I've also tried using a code on a sticker on the base of the laptop but that doesn't seem to be the right one.
    I've run out of ideas and the number of times I can use Office 2007 is running down - any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I think the simple answer is that MS no longer offer 2007 trials and instead offer 2010 trials at [http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/try/try-office-2010-FX101868838.aspx?WT.mc_id=MiG_Products]

  • How to find product key for Microsoft Office 2010?

    I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago. At the time of purchase I also ordered a license for Microsoft Office 2010. The laptop came with Office already installed, and everything worked great for years.
    Earlier this week I had to do a full system restore to get my laptop back in working order. I backed up all of my user files, found installers or original installation media for all of my software except for Office, and proceeded with the system restore.
    I just got everything running again this morning. The system restore put a clean copy of the OS on my laptop, but Microsoft Office is gone. I've just about finished re-installing all of the other software, but I need some help with Office.
    Since my laptop didn't come with installation media for Microsoft Office 2010 I'm trying to donwload it from here:
    https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/usa/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-US&ref=pkc
    It asks for a product key for Office 2010 in order to start the download. The product key for Microsoft Windows is on the bottom of my computer, but I can't find a product key for Office. (Before anyone asks, yes, this is the full version of Office 2010, and yes, I paid for it at the time of purchase of the laptop.) I kept all of the paperwork that came with the computer, but I can't find the Office product key anywhere in that packet. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for my product key?
    Better yet, does HP still have a copy of my original purchase order for this laptop, and do they store product keys for the products they sell? 
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Neither HP nor Microsoft keep a record of the key that was issued.  If you cannot find it in your documentation or emails I'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to purchase another key.

  • Product key for Windows 8.1 in Yoga 2 Pro

    How can I find the product key for Windows 8.1 in the Yoga 2 Pro?
    Solved!

    Hi mpweinberg,
     Welcome!
    Since Windows 8, OEM preinstalled operating systems store and encrypt the product key in the uEFI or BIOS firmware chip.  The product key is no longer on the COA sticker to help prevent theft. Whenever you need to reset or reinstall the same operting system on your OEM PC, the product key will automatically be applied and activated. Have you tried running Belarc Advisor? I believe that will show you the product key along with other important information about your system. http://belarc.com/

  • Need To Find Product Key For Windows 8

     It's my son's laptop and I bought it brand new in January 2013. It crashed two months later. I tried to get help through HP but to no avail. They told me to update the BIOS, which I did, and it worked for maybe a week and crashed again. I had a friend wipe it and start over twice after that because it just kept crashing. I then called HP, since it was still under warranty, to have them send me a new one since this one was obviously defective and the lady with whom I spoke said she would have someone call me back to help me. This never happened. I just gave up on it and bought another laptop in March 2013...the same exact brand, model, specs, etc. and have had absolutely NO problems with it since. I've since decided that it merely needs a new hard drive, which I am more than happy to purchase and install. It is the only thing my son has asked for as a Christmas present this year. The problem I have is that I don't have the product key for the OS. It came installed with Windows 8 and I have read through several other messages and understand that it is not something you can buy, however, I do believe, and feel that I am entititled, to have the product key so that I can properly fix my son's laptop. After all, it was a defective laptop/hard drive with which to begin and since HP support was actually of no support whatsoever HP should be willing to help with this situation. I have only ever used HP for desktops and laptops and have since 2001 and this is the first product I have purchased that was probelmatic.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi:
    Microsoft did away with OEM product key stickers starting on all PC's that come with W8.
    The OEM product key is now encoded into the BIOS in order to prevent it being used on other PC's.
    So, your notebook does have a product key. 
    You just can't read it and if you order recovery media for the specific model notebook, or use a Windows 8 OEM installation disk you won't need the key.
    It will automatically enter itself during the installation.

  • HT1338 i have a product key for iworks9. how do i get to the spot to put in the key?

    I have a product key for iworls9. Can't find where to put it in.Any help?

    The retail iWork '09 suite did not require an activation key, nor do any of the apps purchased from the Mac App Store. If this was an trial version of iWork, launch any of the iWork applications and you should get a splash screen where you can enter in the activation code. If not, there should be a "register" command, probably under the File menu or the preferences, but it's been a while so I can't remember. Someone else probably will know for sure.

  • After having had to upgrade to windows 7 i cant find the product key for my photoshop elements 8

    i kept the download for my photoshop elements 8 but after the windows 7 upgrade i cant find the product key for the PSE8

    This isn't the PSE forum Edward, but you might be aware of that.
    PSE8 is going to be fairly old I'm thinking?  Like I said... this is not the PSE forum so people don't tend to know much about it.   The reason I make that point, is that if you have previously registered your copy of PSE8, you will be able to log on to your Adobe ID, go to My orders, and find both a link to download the installation file, and your serial number.
    Other than that, I am not sure how you will find it.

    We are still assessing if all our applications can work with Windows Server 2008 R2 and would need the time to assess the product.
    How can we obtain such a key?
    Thank you

  • HT201272 Where do I get the serial number and product key for the version of AutoCAD LT for Mac that I bought from the ITunes store?

    Where do I get the serial number and product key for the version of AutoCAD LT for Mac that I bought from the ITunes store?

    The iTunes Store doesn't sell software for the Mac. I presume you mean the Mac App Store. To the best of my knowledge, no software sold in the Mac App Store has serial numbers nor product keys. For what reason do you think you need them?
    Regards.
