Where do I find my OEM Lenovo Yoga IdeaPad 13 Windows 8 activation key?

Hello, a couple of days ago, I received my Lenovo Yoga Ideapad 13 in the mail. I turned it on and soon noticed that Lenovo had really screwed the pooch on how they partitioned the device. The SSD was 128GB but only 60GB was given to the C drive. The rest was either on the D drive or in some hidden partition.
I almost immediately proceeded to do a clean install of Windows 8.
I procured an ISO of Windows 8 and ran through the install process. For this post, I'm going ot ignore some of the issues I ran into in this process (wifi not working by default) and cut right to my current problem: I cannot legally activate Windows 8 unless I have a valid activation key. Where is this key found?
The "About Windows 8" post on this very board says that it should be found somewhere on my laptop, but I couldn't find it. I even played with the idea of opening up the ultrabook to see if it was on the inside. I decided to hold off on this until I can get a professional tear-down guide from iFixIt or something.
In the meantime, where do I find my key?

It is either on a sticker somewhere on the laptop Usually on the bottom side of the laptop. Or it is attached to a card in the documents that came with laptop. My Toshiba laptop shipped with its Windows 7 code in both places. There was a sticker attached to the bottom of the laptop and there was another Genuine Windows Card that was mixed in with all the manuals that also contained the number. I would look there as well.

  • Where do I find the necessary preinstall​ed/activat​ed Windows 7 informatio​n for clean reinstalla​tion

    I found the main Windows 7 key sticker under the battery. Where do I find the rest, such as the activation code that I'll need for clean reinstallation?

    Sorry, I don't understand your question.
    I've been able to activate clean Win 7 installs by using the CoA sticker key.  Activation will fail and offer phone activation.  That leads to an automated procedure where Windows provides a set of digits that one enters, and then the phone robot offers a string of digits that activates.
    What do you mean by activation code?

  • Lenovo Yoga 13 after Windows 8.1 Upgrade

    After upgrading to Win 8.1, i encountered a number of problems with Audio, and Video these problems were all solved by simple driver updates but one main problem seems to persist. Whenever the screen is tilted outside of laptop mode (when in tent, presentation or tablet mode) the performance of the laptop slows down tremendously. Video and Audio playback is sluggish and the overall system runs slowly until you return it to laptop mode then everything runs smoothly. If anyone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated as i just purchased this product which was not cheap, being a student and all. 
    Thanks for your help.

  • Where can I find a driver download for scanjet 4300c windows 8.1 64 bit

    I need a free driver update download for the hp scanjet 4300c scanner using windows 8.1, 64bit

    Hi @J13,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I noticed that you are wondering where you can find a driver download for your HP Scanjet 4300c for Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am happy to look for this for you!
    According to this drivers website, HP Scanjet 4300c Scanner Drivers, as well as this guide, Scanners not supported in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. This product is not supported for Windows 8.1 64-bit. The last driver released for this product is for Windows XP.
    However, as a workaround, you can try to download the Windows XP driver, found at this website, ScanJet 4300C/Cse/Cxi PrecisionScan LTX software/driver, and then run it under compatibility mode, Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows. It is not guaranteed to work, but worth a try.
    Otherwise, I would recommend upgrading to a new model that is compatible with Windows 8.1. Here is a list of Scanjets that are compatible and supported, with Windows 8.1. Scanner driver and software support for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
    Hope this information clears things up for you, and happy new year!

  • Where so I find the Apple updater standalone installer for Windows? Thanks!

    I need a standalone installer for the Apple updater for windows, where do I find it?  Thanks!

    Apple Software Update for Windows isn't distributed in a standalone version. It only comes as part of one of the installer bundles for the major applications (such as iTunes, QuickTime, Safari, Bonjour Print Services, and so forth).
    We can rip open one of those installer bundles to get a copy of an AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, which can be used to do a standalone ASU install. I'll walk you through doing it with an iTunes for Windows installer.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.

  • Where can I find out more about the little color window that pops up?

    Where can I find out about that color window that pops up when you want to change colors.
    One of my questions is about the saved color squares at the bottom of the little color window. How do you delete those and where are they stored?
    Thanks

    It's the OS X color picker, and it's available in just about all FCS applications - nice because you can store colors once and they are there for all apps. You can't delete a color - just drag white onto it to get rid of it. Oh, and have you dragged down to reveal the large drawer for storing a boatload of colors?

  • Lenovo miix 2 10 windows 8.1 key

    Dear Lenovo support Forum,
    I have a Lenovo Miix 2 10"1 without keyboard, 64Gb version with office 2013 home and student license.
    On my disk had 16Gb space after my programs installed.
    So I tried to save the whole drive to my nas bit-to bit but I could't boot to a linux while i swithced off the secure boot.
    I made a new windows 8.1 core installer prepared to Wimboot.
    I Installed to the internal drive everything and after the office-updates-drivers-softwares-email-backups i have now 40Gb free space, the CPU freq now on IDLE is under 1Ghz ( better for battery) and i have more RAM.
    Now I have a really big problem: I forgot to write down my original Windows 8.1 core key. How can i get it back?
    I downloaded a read-write everything software ( x86) but I cannot find a same MSDN?? field at ACPI so I could not get the windows 8.1 key from the BIOS. 
    Is there any way to get is back? I have all of the SN noumber, etc so how?
    Or from this point I have to buy a new operation system?

    You can download RWEverything utility from http://rweverything.com/ run it, select table ACPI, then tab MSDM and you can see the key. That command line command works on my miix2, I can't say why not on your computer.

  • Can't find drivers for Lenovo G50-30 for Windows 7 32-bit

    Hi,
     I can't find drivers for Windows 7x32 bit for my new Lenovo G50-30. Looks like Lenovo support doesn't have them. Am I wrong?

    hi ziris,
    Can you try these drivers:
    Chipset:
    Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility)
    Bluetooth:
    Bluetooth Driver (Intel, Atheros, Realtek, Broadcom)
    Camera:
    (AVC, Bison) Camera Driver
    If the  above drivers doesn't fix the unknown device under Device Manager, can you follow this guide on how to install the drivers via their Hardware ID or you may want to consider installing Windows 7 64bit (this would be best if you'll be utilizing 4GB RAM and above).

  • Where can I find $HOME/public_html for dowloaded files on windows?

    Hi ,
    I am new to PHP. The tutorial on running the PHP application advises to put the following files ( hr.php ,hr_cn.inc, hr_ui.inc,hr_db.inc ,styles.css ) in the $HOME/public_html directory on unix platforms. I am using windows version of the program, so where is the equivalent of $HOME/public_html on windows?
    Can anyone let me know please?

    On Windows, PHP files can be put in a couple of places for the "Oracle
    Database Express Edition 2 Day Plus PHP Developer Guide":
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/appdev.102/b25317/toc.htm
    and the Oracle XE Tutorial:
    http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/tutorial/DBXETutorial/index.htm
    1. Check the DocumentRoot parameter in httpd.conf, e.g.
    DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"
    Files like C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\chap1\file.php can
    be loaded in a browser using http://localhost/chap1/file.php
    2. Edit httpd.conf and set UserDir to your favorite location e.g.:
    <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/users/"
    </IfModule>
    Files like C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\users\cjones\chap1\file.php
    can be loaded with http://localhost/~cjones/chap1/file.php
    On Windows the Beta release of Oracle XE has problems when Instant
    Client is in the PATH environment variable, so Zend Core for Oracle
    can't be used just yet (this problem does not affect Linux).
    Until the next Oracle XE drop is available, ZCO can be substituted
    with standard Windows PHP 5.0 binaries from:
    http://snaps.php.net/
    The OCI8 extension for PHP must be updated from:
    http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_oci8.dll
    Stop Apache. Copy the new php_oci8.dll into PHP's ext directory
    replacing the old DLL. Restart Apache.
    Other instructions for installing non-ZCO PHP on Windows can be found at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/htdocs/inst_php_apache_windows.html
    Personally, I don't copy php.ini as shown in step 2, and don't copy
    php5ts.dll or php_oci8.dll as shown in step 4. I leave the dll's
    where they are and simply copy php.ini to
    c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/php.ini and set its
    extension_dir directive to, for example, "c:\php5.0-win32-200511031730\ext"
    In a new thread on this forum I'll post a couple of typos I've
    reported in the Beta "2 Day Plus PHP Developer Guide".
