Windows 10 Technical Preview product key not working

When I try to enter the product key "NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR" (from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/preview-iso)
on Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9926, I get the message "That key can't be used to activate this edition of Windows. Please try a different key."

The key you posted is for Pro ( non-enterprise ) version.
Are you sure you have not installed the Enterprise version ?
Enterprise version product key is ....... PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK

Hi,
NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR is for Windows 10 Technical Preview
PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK is for Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview
Since this problem occures when installing Windows, I doubt there is a problem with your Windows 10 Technical Preview ISO. Please access to the link below to download the ISO file for test.

Product Key Not Working in Unattend

We cannot get our product key to work in our unattend file. Below is the unattend file (the product key portion). Anyone notice anything wrong, or have any suggestions? I have also tried adding the product key into the custom.ini settings and that didn't
work either. I know the product key works and I have double check to make sure I didn't fat finger anything. We are imaging Windows 7 Professional Computers using a Windows Server 2012 WDS/MDT server.

ONe of the steps in your task sequence returned an error.
THe step was *not* marked as "continue on error", so the task sequence halted (red screen).
The log shows:
Expand a string: WinPEandFullOS
Executing command line: cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
Process completed with exit code 2147810867
Exit code 2147810867 is simply negative 1, nothing exciting.
Something is wrong with the call to the slmgr.vbs script, it would be great if we had the output to that program, for example:
cmd.exe /c "cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato > %temp%\slmgr.log"
So we can look at the reasons why the command failed afterwards

Win 7 Product key not working

Hi!
I downloaded an ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium from windows website and made a clean install on my Lenovo IdeaPad Y580. Before re-installing I made a screenshot of my product key , which was shown by application Everest Ultimate. During the re-install process I typed my product key. Installation successful.
But only yesterday I realized, there might be a problem: Start -> My Comp -> properties -> Windows Activation, there is written, that "15 days to activate. Activate Windows now". I tried to activate, but I got a message: "The Windows 7 Home Premium product key you typed is invalid for activation".
After that I checked the product key, and here is the 2nd problem: the product key shown by Everest and the key on the underside of the laptop ARE NOT EQUAL.
I tried to type both, none of them was working. And I have no idea, why... Can somebody help me, what's wrong, why isn't it working?
(some info: Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium, the only change I made was the changing of the SSD from 32 to 64 GB . But I don't think that could be the reason...)
Solved!

Welcome to the Forum kislovi and kherring7383 !
kislovi, you do not have to purchase any special Windows 7 media once you have a valid Windows 7 Home Premium key on the back of your laptop. You can download a copy of Windows 7 and use your key, as you are attempting to do. I had a similar situation when I purchased my W500. It came with a 160GB hard drive which had Windows 7 Pro 32-bit installed and activated. I wanted to replace the 160GB hard drive with a 500GB one. So I used a key finder program to view the key and copied it down carefully. After doing a fresh installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, I tried to activate using the key I had recovered. It was not accepted. As mentioned, it was probably a Volume Licensing key of some sort which Lenovo uses to do mass installations. Then I noticed I had a Windows 7 Pro C.O.A. key on the back of the laptop which was different from the one reported by the key finder. I tried that key and was able to activate Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
You may use any disc (OEM, retail, upgrade, VL) with Windows 7. It is not "media-specific." You may also download a legitimate copy of Windows 7 from Microsoft, burn it to a DVD and use it with an O.E.M. C.O.A. key. I have done all of these things. During the installation process, the software will customize itself to the version that corresponds to the key.
Windows 7 media is different from Windows XP media. For example, I have retail and O.E.M. Windows XP discs. When doing a fresh installation on a machine which has an XP C.O.A. on the back, I have to use my O.E.M. XP installation disc. When I wish to use a retail Windows XP key I have purchased, I must use a retail XP installation disc. This is not true for Windows 7. I can use a retail version or O.E.M. version to do a fresh installation using the WIndows 7 C.O.A. on the back of a machine. I can verify with absolute certainty that it works. This is not a matter of O.E.M. versus Retail media. There is some other issue the OP is facing...
A few questions for kislovi: Do you wish to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium? If you have at least 3GB of memory, you should go for the 64-bit version. I think you will find my post about the Benefits of a Windows 7 64-bit Operating System informative. The same key can be used to activate either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the product.
What is the exact file name for the version of Windows 7 which you downloaded? Here are the official Microsoft file names for Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit ("x86") and 64-bit ISO:
• Windows 7 Home Premium (x86) - X17-58996 • Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) - X17-58997
(Note: These are the file names for the English versions. Other language versions have different file names).
What is the 8-digit file name you see on the C.O.A. on the back of your laptop? (For example, "X _ _- _ _ _ _ _"). Where did you download your copy of Windows 7 from? Here are 2 official Microsoft download link locations: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/ and http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
Double-check that you downloaded from an official Microsoft location, and that it's the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium and not Windows 7 Pro or some other version you downloaded by accident. If you still have difficulty, then your key may have been activated before, used on another laptop or some other issue exists. Let us know how you do.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 windows 7 - 64 bit. only key not working

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 Windows 7 - 64 bit. The Windows key is the only key not working.

Thanks for the information,
I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue. My first suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard.
Follow these steps to do that:
Click the "Start Menu"
Type "Device" in the search box under all programs
Select "Device Manager"
Click "Keyboards"
Remove all devices under keyboards by right clicking and selecting" uninstall" on each device
Restart the computer
How long has the button not been working?
Are there any other keys not working or producing the wrong character?

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.

Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.
i have problem in Display Brightness i am not able to change Brightness by function key or by manually from windows settings.
2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

Windows Insider Preview Start Menu Not Working: Build 10061

I've been using the Desktop tech preview for some time now. It seemed that with each build, the apps would bleed outside the window frame without scrollbars, ergo, making the apps not useable(except for browser). Then, starting with 10041 the start menu
wouldn't work. There is no way for me to open it except through the notifications button. Now with build 10061, none of the buttons work. Only firefox, which I have added to my taskbar. Although, edge nor IE will open either. So ATM, only the task manager,
firefox, folder button, and the volume control button seem to open/work. I have tried restarting and switching profiles, bu nothing seems to work.
I want to get away from win10. Before, on start up it would ask me if I wanted to revert back to win8. Now it doesn't ask anymore. How do I get back to win8?

To go back to Win8, you need a recovery media or an installation media for Win8.
Did you make one of those before you installed Win 10 TP over Win 8 ?
May I interest you to give Win 10 TP another go ?
ON the 29th, a new build has been released. It's build 10074.
You can install it via Windows Update or downloading the ISO which is also released at the same date.
My suggestion is to download the ISO > burn it to a bootable DVD or an USB with at least 4 GB > use the bootable media to do a Clean Install.
I suggest a clean install to make sure your new install will not "inherit" any "baggage".
In short, you will start fresh.
Here is the download link for Pro (non-Enterprise) ISO;
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update-1504
Notice that it has a new product key :6P99N-YF42M-TPGBG-9VMJP-YKHCF
You shouldn't need it. But, just in case it asks for it.
If you want the Enterprise version:

Get volumes displayed by default under Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview

Scenario:
In Windows 8.1, it is to display volumes under This PC by default when opening File Explorer, which is as shown in Figure1. However, in Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is not to display volumes under Home by default when
opening File Explorer, which is as shown as in Figure 2. This articles describes a workaround to get volumes displayed by default under
Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Workaround:
This workaround is to edit some related Registry keys. Note: Please click
Yes in the User Account Control prompt to continue. What’s more, before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey. In this scenario, please backup the key

Click Windows icon and type Folder option in Search box, and click
Folder option to open it.
Under View tab, clear the checkbox Hidden extensions for known file types

i think what he want is to change the Win + E shortcut to This PC.
I understand that is the goal. I've tried the registry hack, it works, but I found it left fragments of other files from "Home' scatter around in there too. We all been using this new version of windows for a few weeks now, built up a list of stuff
we have looked at, and that is why I said it's not the prettiest solution. It might have been okay if it was done just after a fresh install. In my alternative solution, you are bringing the This PC icon out to a more accessible place so you
don't have to use the File Explorer icon to get at the volumes i.e. hard drive view.
Personally, when I launch the File Explorer, I am expecting to be looking for something straight away on my hard drives and not be presented with a list of stuff that I have already looked at. That kind of thing should be left
in a Recent Folder sort of thing we use to see in the older versions of windows.

Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 product key doesn't work

I upgraded build 9926 for about one month and now it keeps asking me to activate. It was activated already when I installed it.
I‘ve tried the two product keys from another threads which are NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR and PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK.
Also tried to run command as administrator and type SLUI 3 anyway it's the same thing so...
The pro & Enterprise ones both not work for me. And it says I have to activate it before March 15th.
Help guys!

Hi Dhana1989,
If you download the installation media from that link above, the activation key should be this one:
NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR
Normally, Windows 10 Technical Preview is activated automatically during installation. If you get a prompt for activation, I suggest you follow this steps:
1. Open Administrative command prompt (Windows key+x > A)
2. Type: SLUI 3
This would bring the following prompt for you:
Type the key above to check the result. Make sure you are connecting to Internet.
