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.

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

Product key not accepted - cannot register Word processor...

Hi,
I bought an HP dm4 including Windows 7. When I try to register the Word Processor program by using the Microsoft Windows 7 product key in the sticker at the bottom of my laptop I get a wrong key notice!
What is the problem??
Thanks for help!! T.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Please confirm the question I asked you. Did your computer come with Word 2010 Starter and Excel 2010 Starter already pre-installed on your laptop ?
These versions are versions that do not time out, they have a few features taken away from them that the full version has, if you want the full functionality, as well as access to power point etc you will need to purchase the full version.

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)

NB200 Windows 7 Fn key not working with ESC and F1 to F8 keys

I recently bought a Toshiba NB200-136 and everything worked fine.
Flash cards on top/bottom of the screen work with Space, ESC and F1 to F8 keys, the rest of function buttons work without showing the cards. Lately the cards stopped showing and I cannot use the Fn + Space, ESC, F1-F8 keys (there's just no reaction), though the rest of buttons work with Fn and the LED is always lit when the Fn is pressed.
I reset Flash Cards, checked and changed their settings few times and they work only if I choose 'Allow the mouse to bring up the cards' option. Even then they don't appear when I press Fn and the functions work only when I click one of the cards.
The problem appeared after (though I'm not sure if immediately) such situation:
I clicked Start -> Shut down and closed the lid. When I opened it the next morning I saw an empty list of programs that wouldn't shut down (it happens quite often, but it's off top). I clicked 'Cancel' or 'Force shut down' but it didn't work so I pressed the Power Button for 5 secs to turn the computer off. I noticed the Fn problem after turning it on and it didn't disappear after resets.
I think the problem appeared before but disappeared after reset so I ignored it.
I'll be thankful for your help.

Any time that you force Windows to stop instead of letting it shut down normally (sometimes you have to shut it off), you may have lost clusters of data that interfere with the proper operation of Windows. So I suggest you start up and run scandisk and make sure you check the box for fixing problems. The other box doesn't need to be checked unless you suspect bad sectors on the hard drive and it takes a long time so I recommend only checking the one box for finding and fixing errors.
Let us know if this worked and the problem is fixed.
Good luck.

Esc key not working in windows 7

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook.
Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

Hello siddharthmishra,
You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
Here is a link to device manager.
If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
Here is a link to a System Restore.
Let me know how everything goes.
