HP DV6 Laptop - How do I find my Windows 7 Product Key

Model: DV6-1149WM
Product: LW264UAR#ABA
I purchased a new hard drive for my laptop. I want to install a clean version of Windows 7 on this hard drive. The Windows product key sticker is badly worn on the bottom of my laptop and I can only make out a little more than half the characters on it. Where can I find the Windows 7 product key? I tried to use an app to find it but it only finds a generic key since it was an OEM install. Can you please tell me how I can find my product key? I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 on my new hard drive so I don't want to install it from any kind of recovery disk. Thanks in advance for your help.

Same Windows XP product key on two machines

Hello,
I have a question regarding the Windows XP product key.
I have two Thinkpad T23. The first one came with a product recovery CD (Windows XP Pro) and it works without problem. However, the second T23 I just bought didn't come with preinstalled operationg system. After checking on Lenovo website with the machine type number it shows me that my second T23 is a model that equipped with Windows XP Pro. So I used the productrecovery CD from my first T23 to restore the second T23 to factory setting.
Now that both T23 are running Windows XP Pro I check the WIndows XP product key and the product keys from both T23 are exactly the same! Is this normal? Would this harm the Windows Xp license on my first T23?
I did this because I thought that each Thinkpad with OEM license has the Windows product key embedded somewhere in the hardware and that the product recovery CD would take such information from the system. But now that both machines have the same product keys I'm confused.
Anyone knows about this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Wow, this is a very quick reply!!
So the same product keys shouldn't harm my machines then? For example, when I try to install some upgrades from Microsoft website and there is this little software (which I forgot its name) that will check if my Windows is a genuine copy or not and I was just thinking that having same product keys could somehow break this "genuine copy" thing...
I just want to make sure that this is not a problem or illigal to do. Nobody wants to have a problem with the Microsoft I guess

Office 2013 Technet installation Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. (System error: - 1073422314)

I am receiving an error when attempting to install
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 which I downloaded from the TechNet site. At the end of the installation process I receive the following message:
"Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. This is most likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed. (System error:
-1073422314)"
I have never installed a trial or Beta of any Office product on this machine.   However, I have installed Office 2007 Ultimate and Office 2010 Professional Plus. All of these are 32bit versions downloaded from TechNet site. In addition,
prior to this error I had attempted unsuccessfully to install the 64bit version of Office 2013 as well as standalone versions of Visio Professional 2013 x64 and Project professional 2013 x64.   All three of these installations failed due to previous
installation of 32bit Office software, so I have downloaded the 32 bit versions but not yet tried to install, other than Office 2013.
I used the Custom upgrade option during the attempted install of Office 2013, specifying "keep all prior versions".
Note that all the above was done on a new machine. The specific purpose was to test co-existence of multiple versions of OFFICE (2007, 2010, 2013) to facilitate user training and migration.
I have tried uninstalling via Control Panel, and performed some of the steps for manual removal, however did not do all of them since 1) They are quite lengthy and 2) Some of them seem to involve removing ALL prior versions of Office, which I do not want
to do; the earlier versions are working properly and I do not want to have to uninstall them. Just want to uninstall and reinstall Office 2013.   Also tried running O15CTRREMOVE.diagcab which indicated that it could not find a problem,
but did not seem to remove anything.
I have read about ten recommended TechNet articles, which recommend everything from running a FIXIt tool, uninstalling all OFFICE software, and reformatting the whole machine. Most of these involve System error -1073418209 rather than -1073422314 (which
is the code that I am getting).   Other than that the problem sounds the same. This seems to be a problem with key management and copy protection in these products, dating back to 2010. Dozens of IT professionals have tried the solutions
and vented their frustration since other than the full format, the other solutions work only sporadically, if at all. Some of these people had been working with trial or beta software, but many who encountered this problem had not.  As
noted above, none of my software was a trail version.   I do not want to uninstall all the OFFICE versions, particularly if it as likely as not will not resolve the issue.   (I am also getting paranoid to the extent of fearing that
after uninstalling everything I might not be able to reinstall any version). I think what we need here is a definitive fix from Microsoft, though I am not too hopeful, in view of the lack of response to all the other technicians who have been struggling
with this for at least the past three years.
If anyone is aware of a solution which works consistently, I would appreciate it. Reformatting however is not an option. Detailed instructions for completely uninstalling Office 2013 (ONLY 2013) might be helpful. I would be willing to uninstall
all versions, but only as a last resort, and only if there is some assurance that this will actual solve the problem (for many others it did not seem to do so).
Thanks
PS: Probably doesn't matter, but I am running this on Windows 7 Pro w/SP1, 64 bit edition.

Tony,
Thanks for your reply.   I do in fact have three versions of Office installed on this machine, 2007 2010 and (hopefully) 2013. I have on previous occasions installed 2007 and 2010 on a single machine, but this is my first attempt to install
2013.
According to TechNet article  office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/install-and-use-multiple-versions-of-office-on-the-same-pc-HA103981695.aspx (Install
and use multiple versions of Office on the same PC) it is possible to install
Office 2003 2007 2010 and 2013 on a single system, provided they are installed in the sequence indicated.  It is noted that some problems may occur, notably involving file associations, but there is no
mention of any activation key issues.
As stated in my original request, the software which I have installed is NOT a trail version.   I did NOT obtain it from the evalcenter, but from
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/subscriptions/securedownloads/hh442904.
The above is a full retail version.    The files which I downloaded are:
en_office_ultimate_2007_united_states_x86_dvd_480625.iso
en_office_professional_plus_2010_x86_515486.exe
en_office_professional_plus_2013_x86_dvd_1123673.iso
I know that the error message says that the problem is commonly caused by attempting to install trial software more than once, but that is not the case. Several other people have reported this same problem, sometimes involving trial software but not
in every case.    My own opinion is that this is a software bug involving key management and copy protection.
Many people have reported on TechNet that the problem was NOT resolved even after uninstalling all Office software. While there is a chance I might get lucky, I really would like a solution which has a better chance for success.
By any chance, does the error code 1073422314
provide any further insight into this issue?
Thanks again for your help. However, further assistance is needed to resolve this issue.
PS: Sorry the font sizes are so mixed up, I haven't quite figured out how to control the formatting when I paste

Error installing Office 2013 on Server 2012 R2 RDS - Error 25004: the product key you entered cannot be used on this machine

Hi there,
I really hope someone can help me as I am tearing my hair out trying to get this resolved!
I am working on a Server 2012 R2 server with RDS running. Before it was turned into a RDS server it had a copy of Office 2010 running as a trial to see would it work for the accounting package that is running for users via Remote Desktop. Trial worked ok
so it was converted into a RDS server. Now, as its a RDS it needs to run Office under a volume licence, which I have. However when trying to install I get the message: "Error 25004: the product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. this is most
likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed on the system."
In summary I have tried everything I can think of and find to remove all traces of the old Office from the machine but still this message persists. I have run the Fix It For Me uninstall from MS and it cannot find any Office installed. i have manually searched
through all of the Windows directories including Program Files and AppData and removed all traces of Office from there, I have searched the registry and removed all I can find from there.
Where or what file does the installer look at to see that a previous version was installed?
I cannot scrub this machine which I would have done long ago because there is another SQL Server based application running on it.
Really really appreciate anyone that can help me on this,
Thanks

Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, and I’ll try my best to help you.
Since Office 2010 installed on it before, you need to remove Office 2010 completely.

Over the years I have had many ISP and email addresses - but now we have finally gone almost fully virtual...
I have a live login and MS ID 4 my SkyDrive account but I only use my MS touch with 8.1, SkyDrive and office 365 for mobility.
And I still like to backup to my own server!!!
What would be good is if I can put all the software licenses and product keys of the software and keep a record of my mac addresses for hardware and even static IP's in a file or a secure location within the MS online store.
That's where MS wants me to get my computing needs from in future and I will always be able to retrieve it in future but what about the $$$$$ I have spent on software, hardware and applications prior to now???
I know u guys love 2 collect data 4 marketing analysis,
4 example I have an old PC that is still running a server from last century - if you knew about it a simple script would allow you to offer upgrades or at least relevant MS products - UNLIKE the rubbish adds I just turn off or tune out
now...
Why cant I add products previous online email purchases into the 1 MS live ID account where I can keep it together? If you make that available I don't have to have separate steam accounts, EA game accounts, ASUS and adobe accounts etc
etc.

That's crap - This is a clean brand spanker install of Win7 and there was nothing b4 I put the oem drivers from Toshiba back on.
I looked at dozens of support pages and forum blogs and tried for hours to get a copy to download - including incognito and other logins but because my default PC name is also my MS Windows live ID the same error was repeated.
I keep away from the non MS sites for these things and with good reason - there were heaps of similar users with the same issue or very close to it that had downloaded from a supposed MS copy from eValue or digital river etc and the next
thing was total corruption of the OS.
EVENTUALLY I found a LIVE MS chat on a support site in the US and she gave me a link to a slightly older version which will need updating and some reg edit changes but so far, so good.
The point is - what a crock !
I should be able to just keep all my software, drivers, updates, service packs, and versions that I have upgraded in the MS store.
If Microsoft aren't going to support XP or Office 2003 and eventually 2007, vista & Windows7 not far behind??? then that's still no excuse for them to put these restrictions and limits when I OWN my copy of the software!!
Unlike office 365 and SkyDrive space which is described in the T&C (that we all read before ticking that radial button to agree of course) as ONLY under a leased licence.
IF Microsoft can support AND develop software that supports SQL2000 Servers, why is it so hard to archive and keep the same info for everyone???

Unlike office 365 and SkyDrive space which is described in the T&C (that we all read before ticking that radial button to agree of course) as ONLY under a leased licence.
IF Microsoft can support AND develop software that supports SQL2000 Servers, why is it so hard to archive and keep the same info for everyone???

How to install windows 10 with windows 7 product key

I read it in a website that Microsoft will provide windows 7 users with free windows 10 for the first year. I bought a laptop (Branded) with pre installed windows 7 a couple of years back, but after some days i formatted my laptop completely and installed
ubuntu. Because of this i lost whole windows and now i have only ubuntu in it. Till now I have retained the product key for my genuine windows 7. I want to know whether i can install windows 10 using this product key. o

As far as I understand, Ubuntu is not included in the deal.
You will need to reinstall Win 7 first. Hoe you had made a Win 7 installation or a set of Recovery media before you installed Ubuntu.
If you don't, you can download a Win 7 ISO file and burn it to a bootable DVD. You can then use it to reinstall your original version of Win 7 with the product key you have. It is 100% legit.

*** make sure you select the correct Win 7 version which matches with your product key as well as the " bit " version ***

Windows 7 Product key Not working, Cannot download iso

First sorry if this post to to simar to the other windows 7 product key one but the soultion dosnt work anymore.
My hdd in my y580 started to give me the tick of death so i brought a new ssd to replace it and backed up my files to my external. i was going to make a bootable copy of windows 7 on my usb so i could install it on the ssd and this is were i ran into issue.
All offical download links now lead to a dead page that redirects you to a new windows download form where you are required to put in your product key before you can download. i put in my product key from the sticker on the back but it just returns with this "http://prntscr.com/62eyxp"
So even if i am able to get a copy of windows 7 will my cdkey work at all? and how can i get a copy when it keep giving me the message.
Anyhelp would be welcome.

First I am not a Microsoft employee, but I am a Microsoft MVP. As such I have to stick with the position Microsoft takes on downloading ISO files. They have given some users a way to redownload the ISO file. The other ways that are posted on the web Microsoft says that the official resellers (Digital River) downloads are for those who purchase the Windows OS thru the reseller's website. Anyone else that wants to download from there is not authorized to have such a downloaded file. All other sources of those file (other than the Microsoft site or the resellers site) are not legitimate sources of the file and can be infected.
This leaves users who purchased a computer from an OEM with no viable download source. While my personal opinions may differ from the official Microsoft position, I cannot really express them. But you may want to check out the DMCA Title III. Of course this only matters if you are in the US. If you are not, I have no idea what laws would apply.
While the downloaded ISO will not work with the key that you have from an OEM, if it is a real ISO from Microsoft and has not been altered in anyway and is a complete download, you can use it for repairs. Which is what almost everyone I deal with needs it for, repairs not reinstall. To be honest I hate telling someone to wipe their harddrive and reinstall windows.
I do believe that ALL OEM's are now charging for a copy of the factory image that is originally on the harddrive. But they cannot be used for repair in the manner that the Windows install disc can be.
What you do with all this information is entirely up to you. I hope it helps.

Possible to obtain Windows 7 product key from Lenovo for downgrade from Windows 8.1?

Hi all. I have searched all over these forums and haven't found the answer to my question, so I figured I'd just ask it.
I purchased an Ideapad Y580 with Windows 8 pre-installed. Hated it from the get go. Upgraded to Windows 8.1, and still don't like. But, now, I am having a ton of bug-y issues. Although I've managed to fix most, they have become increasingly annoying. The latest is that upon upgrading to Windows 8.1, my USB ports stopped working...except they sometimes work, some of the time, but never all of the time. Drivers are up to date, and every diagnostic test I have run passes. Surfing the net, it sounds like this is a common issue with windows 8.1.
I was speaking with my firm's IT company and was told that they have had the exact same issues with numerous clients. (As an aside, they universally place lenovo products in their client's hands). It has gotten so bad that they do not provide windows 8/8.1 on any of the machines they prepare for their clients.
Last week, I was speaking to the IT company's local rep who was performing some server maintenance for us, and he indicated that if you purchased a laptop pre-installed with windows 8 and didn't like it, you could obtain a windows 7 product key from the manufacturer and downgrade to windows 7. Is that accurate? if so, how do I make that happen?

Too be honest I suggest you do not downgrade unless you have to use software in your company that does not work on Windows 7.
Get started reading Windows 8 guides, and you will notice Windows 8 is a lot better after you have read all the guides:

If you reinstall using the manufacturer's Recovery System, you will not need to enter the Key - it comes with its own Key built-in.

Windows Vista product Key

Does anyone know how I can find out what my windows vista product key is. The sticker on the bottom of my laptop has worn off and it keeps saying that I need to enter it.

Hello,
What is asking for the product key? Is it the operating system?
If it is the OS, what you need is the recovery disc, putting the product key will not work because the OS that was installed on the NB is already activated and it can't be activated anymore.
I think microsoft has a fix for this but they will charge you for the support.
It is better if you will just do the recovery so that you can reinstall the operating system..
Hope this help.

How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store. It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.

The Windows 7 Professional product key you typed is invalid for activation.
