My Windows 8.1 product Key wont work when trying to install Windows 10?

I found my product key and checked it a couple times and if says it is wrong when I try to install windows 10 home version. I downloaded windows 10 iso and created a DVD of the new OS and it says my product key is no good?

Cory I have an Acer Aspire XC600, I see by the support list that it should be good for windows 10.  This PC came with Windows 8 and has been upgraded to Windows 8.1 so... I can't seem to get anything to happen, no Windows 10 app, the Windows Authentication doesn't seem to work and there are no updates waiting to be installed... I can't find anything on the ACER site that will guide me through the Windows 10 update process, can you provide some help along with the steps I need to take to get this upgrade started? Thanks,  Al

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Windows 8 error "product key does not match any of the Windows images available for installation"

    Hi Experts
    My HP Pavilion laptop came with window 8. I made the USB recovery for windows 8 using hp recovery manager. My windows was corrupted, while I was trying to install windows 7 in dual boot.
    I used above USB recovery to restore factory default. But every time it is giving me error "HP Recovery Manager Failed error code = 0xefffff08"
    Then I downloaded the OEM ISO mage for windows 8 and tried to do the clean install but now installation process is giving me error "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key" 
    Please help me. To whom I have to contact?

    Hi ghost-rider,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
    I understand you tried to do a recovery and you received this error  "oxefffff08".
    First I would suggest you run a hardware diagnostics. Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    If no hardware failures are located, you have ruled that possibility out.
    Here is a link to Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8) that may help.
    If you are still having an issue doing a recovery, I suggest contacting HP support and explain the issue you are having with doing a recovery. They may have another option available for you.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region  Technical Support Sitemap
    The clean install from an OEM image is looking for the product code as it does not match the one that came with the computer, You would need a new code.
    I hope this has helped.

    OK, that tutorial is different than what I assume you want. I suspect you want the ability to have users upload images and store the metadata of those images in a database, correct? That tutorial only shows how to upload to a specific location so the image can
    be displayed in an iframe.
    Search for "php file upload scripts" to see how to upload to a file system and store the metadata in the database.
    >and no, mostly i have used the dreamweaver features to avoid it as much as possible
    As you are seeing, DW code is very limited in what it can do. It also generates code that is not up to current standards,and is very difficult to work with if you need to modify it. Basically, it's junk. Forget it and learn how to read and write code. There are tons on tutorials on how to get started with PHP.  DW Server behaviors only seem like a time saver in the beginning. In the end, you'll end up wasting more time using them than learning how to code yourself.

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • Lenovo G50-30 - "No Bootable Device" error message when trying to install windows 7 via DVD-ROM.

    Hi all, Recently purchased a Lenovo G50-30 as a birthday present. After recieving the laptop, I tried putting a fresh install of Windows 7 64 Bit onto it. After changing the BIOS settings to allow legacy booting from the DVD drive and changing OS Settings to Win 7, I noticed I was getting an error reading "No Bottable Device -- Insert boot disk and press any key". After googling for a few hours on how to fix this I am still stumped and nothing seems to work. Has anyone had a similar issue or would know how to fix this?

    Hi omegafeggy,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Im kind of confused with the sequence.
    Have you installed Windows 7 first then change the BIOS or You changed the BIOS first then Load Windows 7.
    Thanks

  • Network Connection error when Trying to Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

    Thank you to anyone who can help me out here. I have a brand new machine with known working wifi and wired ethernet adapters (works under Windows 8.1) I am attempting to install Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2. During the install process, the system connects
    to the internet to download updates to help along the install. No problem here. Further down the road after restarting several times and now during the "Configuring Windows Server Essentials" step of the install, I am told "There is no network
    connection. Please fix the connection issue and try again."
    When troubleshooting the connection, I am told that the wifi adapter drivers may not be installed. I have a wireless card in the machine and have also tried disabling the wifi adapter and have been connected successfully via the ethernet port this whole
    time.
    Help, I'm stuck and have been to this point in the install 4-5 times already.
    Thank you.

    Is this a laptop?  Can you remove the wifi? Disable it in BIOS?
    Does the wifi have an IP and internet when it throws the error?
    BTW, when the wizard ask about updates say no.  Takes way too long and does not help anything
    Change the binding order and put the wired on top.
    The Steps?
    Just open your Network and Sharing Center. (Change adapter settings)
    Press an ALTkey on your keyboard to show the menu bar.
    Click on the Advancedmenu
    choose Advanced Settings option
    Adjust your binding order for your NICs to ensure your wired ones are at the TOP

  • Black Screen when trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp

    Have seen many similar questions with not one solid answer.  I have a brand new 17" MacBook Pro with the regular 750 gig grive and a 200 something gig ssd primary drive. Running the latest version of OS X of course.
    Updated all of my software and then opened up Bootcamp and partitioed 40 gigs on the SSD drive for Windows 7. Stuck in the disc when it asked me to and clicked continue. It rebooted then immediately went to a black screen and tahts where it stays. I ahve tried both the 64bit and 32bit discs and it does the same no matter which one I use.
    How do I get windows 7 to install properly?
    Just my luck it says Apple doesnt offer phone support for installing Windows via Bootcamp.

    Try using Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows volume, then redo it.
    Waste of time and don't need to - there are Apple tech support articles
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    There is/was one directed at the iMac w/ black screen.
    Using an electronic version, an ISO, bought through school, burned wtih Apple Disk Utility - that has to be burned at slowest reduced burn speed 2X to work - won 't boot, installs but fails during or after, various issues. But you seem to have both, therefore retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Is OS X also on the SSD? 40GB is actually a tight fit for Windows 7 64-bit. I could tell you why but just trust me when you add up page, hibernation, the SP1 update temp space requirment all on top of the 20GB for Windows itself. And then any data, applications, cache files.
    I'd disconnect the 750GB drive.
    There were updates last week.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    "Solid answers" - really?
    A. there is a forum for Boot Camp
    Boot Camp
    Another for MacBook Pro
    MacBook Pro
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
    And this one? is for workstations (tower) Mac Pro.
    I know some tech articles say Apple only supports installing or using BCA and any issue with Windows is not under their support, though even there the Apple Boot Camp driver support have various issues and more trouble than I would expect or accept to claim "Windows on Mac" can be called supported - it isn't as seamless and of course no hand-holding.
    There is one step, feature added to 10.6.6 to "download" and save drivers to CD or flash memory - that has been broken and DOA (MacBook Air does need USB DVD external driver and that works) but having a full Boot Camp 3.2 on a memory stick and not having to go through 3.0 and 3.1 to get to the current supported version of 3.2? that doesn't work at all. - Which has led to 100x posts over "what do I do?" with it in the broken state it is in.
    This is an Apple SSD, or 3rd party? The 2011 MacBook Pro has had trouble as it should suppport SATA3 and that was what one of the firmware updates addressed.  Performance and lack or presence of TRIM in OS X is another area of concern.

  • HT5639 I get a message that says "The installer disc could not be found." when trying to install Windows 8 from a downloaded .img or .iso file. How do I get Bootcamp to recognize it?

  • I keep getting error code 0x800700570 when trying to install Windows 7 via BootCamp.

    I have tried several times to install Windows 7 on an iMac 3.4 GHz i7 running 10.7.2. I have installed Windows several times in the past to other computers without problems. I have tried 4 or 5 times and removed the partition in between each attempt, alas to no avail:-( I keep getting the error code 0x800700570, which leads me to think something is missing, but what I don't know:-( Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance:-)

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
