Sorry, new to setting up computers.... Does anyone know where I can find the Windows 8 registration key? I keep getting a page to verify my Windows.

".......with Windows 8.1?"&gt;&gt;Don't see any reason why not. It's an electro-mechanical switch. It doesn't know what your running nor does it care. "Can same copy of Windows be loaded on each drive?"&gt;&gt;Anytime you install a Windows OS from a disk to a drive as a new install you are risking key number and activation issues. It reads the HDD serial number and MB type etc and thinks it's a new machine. Clone your existing HDD's. You shouldn't have any issues. I cloned my primary HDD to another HDD of the same brand and specs (bought them both at the same time) and I have had zero issues with activation etc when I boot to the clone. I don't like "back-ups". I do a full blown clone at least once a month or even less. So far, so good. The other 4 channels on the Orico are devoted to Linux OS's. Hope this helps.

I think the problem here is your installation file. I installed through usb boots. Download the file at microsoft website, then install and then buy the key

I am not handy with computers, I thought windows 8 wouldn't be a big deal. It is a royal pain in the ass. I would avoid having it on my computer if possible. My son put windows 7 on my computer, and it is working alright. I don't know how hard that was for him to do. But I do like Lenovo computers. and I think the computer itself is good.

I bought the laptop for someone else, and when I asked that person, he said his copy of Windows is activated, but did not recall exactly how he did it and couldn't find anything with a Windows key on it.

They sent a.Windows 7 disk. I installed it and then it took me to the Microsoft registration process via the web and phone. I have had it over a year and it's just fine.

Sorry I really don't know. I think the key only unlocks the disk and allows files to be installed. Once you install it and updated you get a different product key. If you right click on the left bottom of screen on the windows icon and then click on System. Once the window pops up scroll down to the bottom and you will see where is says Windows Activated and Product ID. I don't know if it would take the number or not. The number is program into the disk and may not be an online number. All you can do is try or call Microsoft, I don't think it would work.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I still am having no success. I tried "Keytweak" it seemed to work - I hit "apply" and restarted the computer but nothing had changed. I tried sharpkeys and am unable to get it to work - get an error message. I tried downloading .NET framework (2.0) and get an error message when I try to install it. I have a brand new ASUS eee PC 1000HA. I am wondering why I am having such a difficult time with this. Any other suggestions??thanks,John Helm

sorry, I guess you need to contact the seller and/or review the description of the items to see if the windows version was stated as genuine. When I purchased mine, the seller described the item as containing a genuine Windows operating system. Wish you luck!

On the top of the computer there is a Certificate of Authenticity Label/sticker for Windows Home Premium OEM Software that has a Product Key and I assume the registration number as well. The on/off switch for the computer is on the top of the computer and the label is approximately 2 inches above it on my computer.

Yes, it was compatible with Windows 8... my issue was that at first it worked... and worked well. After a few weeks it became "glitchie" and getting it to turn on and be recognized by my Windows 8 computer... well, it was difficult. If I would get it recognized (in the beginning this was not a problem), when I could get the item connected, I would leave it on, as long as I could. Like a car you don't want to turn off, because you worry about whether you can get it started, again (bad starter, etc.) this item was like that, for me.

I use windows 8, and had to download it from website. I recomend to do that, because the one that came with the device did'nt work, I searched the web and found couple of people with the same problem.

Nevermind, I got it! The manufacturer is "Pro Ebiz LLC". You have to download their Windows Update from there apparently.. But that didn't really help. I just had to select to "manually install the driver", then point the install to C:\. You will get a security warning about installing the driver, but go ahead and do it. The device works great!!! Thanks a lot!

I came here looking for a solution, thanks to these answers I found my product key printed on the installation disc itself. It was the only place I hadn't looked, as the disc was in my computer when I needed the key.

My guess is that you're asking for either a product NAME or product NUMBER: Product Name: 2000-2d89NR Product Number: E0K70UA If you're asking for the WINDOWS product key (which wasn't specifically asked for), it's on a sticker on the bottom of the unit, OEM license.

I know with older Windows products it will eventually stop running and you will HAVE to register Windows. I had the displeasure of finding that out myself. Without registering your OS your system will eventually become useless. This COULD very well mean you have an illegal copy. Worst case scenario. There's an FAQ here if it helps any: http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=E_yFDd6LS5OIf Microsoft can't help you, you should contact the distributor. If they can't help, then they deserve a really REALLY bad review.

I do not know why you would be having a problem activating. You could take a look at this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/why-activate-windows Activation carries very few real benefits. It's a nuisance to have an unactivated copy, but you can ignore the activation messages and still use the computer for now. Certain Microsoft products such as Microsoft Security Essentials might require an activated version of Windows before you can use them (at least this happened in 7). I don't know if not having it activated will cause you problems down the line, so I recommend getting that fixed as soon as possible. Try contacting the seller and let them know the key you got doesn't work.
